I Am Carrying Gold From the Post-Apocalyptic World

Noticing someone behind them, one of the men immediately swung a club at the young girl.

The girl moved with remarkable agility, sidestepping the man's attack and then stabbing him in the abdomen with a dagger.

The man whose arm Wang Bin had slashed earlier recognized her at a glance. Knowing her prowess, he dared not hesitate and took off running.

"Catch him, don't let him escape!"

The girl wanted to pull out the dagger to chase down the fleeing man, but her hand was tightly held by the opponent, forcing her to let Wang Bin pursue him instead.

Wang Bin didn't know why he needed to chase the man, but without hesitation, he grabbed his entrenching tool and gave chase. Unfortunately, burdened with a large backpack of food, he was too slow to catch up. Moreover, the commotion had already attracted nearby zombies, and several were already staggering towards them.

The girl kicked her opponent to the ground and shouted to Wang Bin, "Run!"

Hearing the girl's shout, Wang Bin glanced at the zombies accelerating towards them and quickly followed her lead.@@novelbin@@

The girl was very familiar with the surrounding terrain. Unlike Wang Bin, who ran on the street, she dashed through the ruins, quickly leaving the zombies far behind.

Running through the ruins had its advantages; it was less likely to be noticed.

In the apocalypse, zombies were terrifying, but they lacked intelligence. As long as you ran out of their sight, you were basically safe.

But humans were different. Once someone set their sights on you, you were only safe if you eliminated them.

Moreover, if the opponent was hiding in the dark while you were in the open, you never knew when danger might strike.

Even after shaking off the zombies, the girl didn't stop and continued sprinting through the ruins.

Wang Bin, carrying a bag of food, was exhausted, but he knew he couldn't stop. He gritted his teeth and kept up. Fortunately, he had a decent physical condition from running every day in high school.

***

After nearly an hour of running, the girl led Wang Bin to a relatively secluded area of ruins.

There were many houses here, mostly two or three-story villas, surrounded by overgrown weeds, giving the place a desolate feel.

The girl glanced at the nearly exhausted Wang Bin and ran into one of the houses.

Seeing their destination, Wang Bin followed her inside.

As soon as he entered, a dagger was pressed against his neck.

"Don't move, drop that electric thing on the ground!"

Wang Bin, almost as tired as a dog, couldn't care less and lay on the ground, panting heavily.

"Don't, don't be impulsive, we can, we can talk this out!"

Seeing Wang Bin genuinely exhausted, the girl stood cautiously with the dagger in hand.

"As long as you don't harm me, I, I can give you more food!"

Hearing about food, the girl's eyes lit up, but she remained vigilant.

To gain the girl's trust, Wang Bin waved the stun baton in front of her and then tossed it at her feet.

From their first encounter and his recent help, Wang Bin believed the girl had a kind heart. Of course, if someone crossed her line, she wouldn't hesitate to kill.

The girl didn't pick up the stun baton but kicked it aside, unsure if Wang Bin had tampered with it. If she got shocked like last time, it could cost her life.

Seeing the girl ignore the stun baton, Wang Bin opened his backpack and took out handfuls of food and drinks.

Seeing the bread, marinated eggs, ham sausages, biscuits, spicy strips, spicy crispy peanuts, rice crust, candies, beef jerky, braised duck neck, white liquor, red wine, cola, and coffee on the ground, the girl was so shocked her mouth almost wouldn't close. These items were luxuries in today's world, things most people couldn't even see, let alone eat. Yet, this person had brought out so much at once.

"If you let me stay here for seven days, I'll give you half of this food!"

"What, you'll, you'll give me half?"

"Yes, half. I can't eat it all by myself anyway!"

Being new to the apocalypse, Wang Bin didn't know what to expect, so he brought a lot of food. If he rationed it, it would last him twenty days, and sharing half with the girl would still be enough for him.

"Where, where did you get all this food?"

"I can't tell you that, but if you let me stay here for seven days, I'll share half with you. If we meet again, I'll give you more."

The girl knew that the location of one's food stash was a closely guarded secret, so she didn't press Wang Bin and nodded.

"Since you agreed, let's introduce ourselves. I'm Wang Bin. What's your name?"

"I'm Guan Xiaoyue, you can call me Xiaoyue!"

"Alright, Xiaoyue, can I have a room?"

"You can stay in that room. This is my room. Without my permission, you can't enter my room, and I won't enter yours!"

"Okay, take the food then!"

Wang Bin took the remaining half-bag of food and went into his room, closing the door behind him.

After searching the room, he found that the windows had been boarded up by Xiaoyue, making it safe as long as the door was blocked.

The room had a bed, a wardrobe, a dressing table, and two stools, suggesting it was once a woman's room.

Opening the wardrobe, he found many clothes covered in cobwebs. Pulling open the dressing table drawer, his eyes lit up at the sight of a beautiful diamond necklace and some jewelry.

Excitedly, Wang Bin took out the diamond necklace and wiped off the dust, realizing it was worth at least hundreds of thousands in modern society, with the other jewelry totaling over a million.

Swallowing hard, Wang Bin thought if he could sell these in modern society, he'd be rich!

However, he decided to ask Xiaoyue first. If the items belonged to her, he'd offer to trade food for them.

Holding the diamond necklace, Wang Bin opened the door and was stunned to see Xiaoyue devouring a ham sausage, her mouth stuffed yet still cramming more in.

The scene was awkward, and Wang Bin wondered if he should step back and wait for Xiaoyue to finish eating.

Xiaoyue, a bit embarrassed, quickly took a sip of cola and mumbled, "Is there something you need?"

"There's plenty of food, take your time eating, no rush!"

Xiaoyue nodded, signaling him to continue.

"I wanted to ask if you're selling this jewelry?"

"If you like it, take it. These things are useless to me!"

Hearing Wang Bin's question, Xiaoyue waved dismissively and continued eating her ham sausage.

"Really, you're giving these to me?"

"Yeah, take them if you want. Nobody wants them!"

"Nobody wants them?"

Wang Bin's eyes lit up, feeling like he'd found a path to wealth.
