Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Explosive Demand for Unlimited Condoms
Alex chuckled and took out a bottle of mineral water with added glucose to feed Mia, saying, “Mia, when I’m not around, you better behave yourself. If you attract zombies and they end up eating you, don’t blame me.”

After drinking the water, Mia sneered.

“Hehe, even if I die, I won’t let you off.”

Alex shrugged.

“It doesn’t matter, I specialize in subduing female ghosts.”

After feeding Mia the water, Alex ate his breakfast while, as usual, opening his email to see what supplies the system had sent him today.

When he clicked on the email, Alex thought he was seeing things.

Rubbing his eyes, he realized he wasn’t mistaken.

The supplies for the third day were actually an unlimited amount of condoms.

Alex was at a loss for words.

What use could this supply possibly have? Was he supposed to use them to fill with water and throw at zombies?

After all, it seemed like this item was only useful for promoting harmony in life and avoiding pregnancy.

As for using them as water balloons, that was something Alex had invented as a child, sneaking around with his friends in the yard, using the free condoms distributed by the community.

Alex took out a condom and turned to Mia. “Mia, do you know what these are used for?”

Mia glanced at the condom in Alex’s hand, her face slightly red.

“Boring!”

Alex remained unfazed.

“What I mean is, do these have any other uses? I’ll still use them for their intended purpose.”

Mia explained, “Condoms are made of rubber, so they can be used as bandages, airbags, or even makeshift bombs when filled with water. Although I doubt they’d be very effective against zombies.”

With Mia’s explanation, Alex began to realize the strategic potential of condoms.

Bandages were already scarce medical supplies, so having alternatives clearly added another layer of security to survival.

As for airbags, Alex couldn’t be certain whether there would be any severe weather or terrain in the future.

If it came to crossing a river, judging by the lack of records on the trading platform of anyone trading vehicles, it wouldn’t happen anytime soon. So, using condoms to make a makeshift raft would be an ingenious tool for exploration!

Thinking this through, Alex began to feel satisfied with today’s supplies.

He casually placed hundreds of condoms on the trading platform and returned to the rooftop of the supermarket, calmly killing zombies.

In his spare time, Alex opened the trading platform.

To his surprise, condoms were unexpectedly popular.

Considering his exchange conditions were all essential supplies, Alex mumbled to himself while eating bread, “Are these people willing to forgo even food just to satisfy their impulses?”

Opening the chat channel, Alex finally understood.

User 38343: “Guys, there’s a stewardess in Dongyuan Community exchanging goods with her body, and she’s good at it. I almost got drained dry.”

User 346304: “Holy crap! 666! Where? Bro, send coordinates.”

User 3838: “Same request! I’m just curious, nothing else!”

User 38343: “Coordinates sent, [235,452], not far from here, brothers, let’s go!”

User 10101: “Um, does anyone… I can do it too, as long as you provide me with food and water. Interested parties, message me, kisses!”

The chat channel was lively with discussion.

Clearly, Alex’s quick sale of condoms owed much to their efforts.

Alex remained silent.

He also understood that in a world like this, some people couldn’t survive without resorting to selling their bodies for goods.

It was an inevitable occurrence.

After all, in such an environment, what value did innocence hold?

But Alex still felt some revulsion.

He suddenly thought of Mia.

If Mia couldn’t survive, would she also have to resort to selling her body for goods?

Alex abruptly stopped his unfounded speculation and chuckled to himself, “Damn it, I can’t even guarantee my own safety, yet here I am worrying about others.”

With that said, he refocused his attention on the zombies in the street.

[Congratulations, player, on leveling up! Keep up the good work!]

Level: 3 (0/300)

Strength: 15 Agility: 7 Stamina: Hungry

“Phew… finally leveled up!”

Alex shook his slightly sore arm.

After more than ten hours of fighting, he finally reached level 3, increasing his strength by 3 points and agility by 2 points.

He had achieved a small goal.

Now, with a rumbling stomach, it was time to eat.

Alex took out a packet of dry rations and a bottle of mineral water, replenishing his stamina while browsing the trading platform.

Sure enough, he found something useful.

A pistol silencer.

Now, that’s a handy item!

With this, he wouldn’t make too much noise when firing his gun, greatly increasing safety.

Glancing at the seller’s terms, it was just ten bottles of water.

Bought!

Alex, being well-off, had no intention of bargaining.

For him, it was a complete waste of time.

Soon enough, a pistol silencer appeared in his hand.

Installed on the barrel, it added an inexplicable sense of lethality.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, Alex suddenly became alert.

In his line of sight, a shifty-looking person sneaked into the supermarket below.

Because the zombies on the street had been cleared, the person didn’t encounter any danger.

Trouble!

Alex’s gaze hardened as he quietly descended from the rooftop with his gun in hand.

Just as he reached the stairs, he heard Mia’s cry for help from the office on the second floor.

“Help! Someone please help me!!”

Mia’s voice was hoarse as she cried out.

“Hehe, didn’t expect to come out scavenging and run into such a beautiful woman. I’ve been pent up these past few days, and you’re just what I need to let off some steam!!”

A strange man’s voice came from the office.

Then, there was the sound of pants being removed and clothes being torn.

Alex hurriedly rushed down to the second floor with his gun.

“Damn it, what are you doing? Stay still!”

Just as the man was about to force himself onto her, a gunshot rang out from behind him.
