Chapter 68 - 68 Protection Talisman
68 Protection Talisman
Before leaving, the Tang family shared with them food and water.
The group of people was not like the outrageous ones before them. After working together on their way here, they had more or less figured out their character. They were people who they could trust. When they saw they had food, they knew their personal standings and did not ask for them.
The Tang family was more than willing to share their food and drinks with them.
Their generosity astonished them.
Some of them declined with blushes on their faces, knowing how precious food and water had become.
Some simply took them and gobbled the food with water regardless of whether it was delicious.
If you refused to eat, you wouldn’t have the strength. If you didn’t have the strength, you wouldn’t be able to fight the zombies.
However, they all remembered the Tang family’s kindness. It was no exaggeration to say that sometimes the kindness of a meal was equivalent to giving them a new life.
The tall and thin man’s name was Wei Chunhua. He was a self-made businessman. After eating, he took off the prayer beads by his wrist. The beads looked quite ancient.
“I have nothing on me so that’s worth anything that I can give as a gift. I pleaded for these blessed prayer beads when I was sick and I got better after that.”
“I now give them to you, Ms. Tang. I hope you’ll recover soon!”
Wei Chunhua liked Tang Susu very much. Despite being around the same age, her daughter was kind and naive. She was not as smart and cunning as the girl.
He hoped that after he found his daughter, they could become friends. Xiaojie might survive better in the apocalypse if she learns a thing or two from Tang Susu.
Tang Susu appreciated the favor and was about to decline when 008, who had lost contact with her, suddenly came back online. “Three-eyed Buddha Prayer Beads. It is worth billions! Take it, take it!”
Tang Susu was speechless. She had never felt so shameless before, trying to exchange a bag of compressed biscuits and half a bottle of water for such an expensive thing.
If Wei Chunhua hadn’t dealt with them before, Tang Susu wouldn’t have felt guilty at all for accepting it.
However, these prayer beads were obviously carrying some greater meaning than just mere monetary value, so she had more reasons not to accept them.
008 was becoming very nervous. Suddenly, he had an idea. “The Three-eyed Buddha Beads had already blocked a doom for him once and has little use now. If you think that it’s very significant to him, then you could give him a talisman. It will definitely be more powerful than his three-eyed Buddha bead!”
“What do you mean?”
“I increased my level to 1, right? I can now buy a talisman that can block a doom. It costs 30 million. However, if it could save a life, it is worth even over 300 million. He would be the one who profited from this!”
Tang Susu was a little tempted.
When she came back to her senses, she realized everyone was looking at her. She had been staring at the bracelet for a long while.
Oh no! When was she influenced by the system and became a money-grubber?
Her small hand took the string of prayer beads without hesitation and smiled sweetly. “Thank you, Mr. Wei!”
Wei Chunhua saw she liked it and was not pretentious about it, so he commended her even more.
The others were also rummaging through their clothes to see if they had anything to give her.
In the end, Tang Susu received a bunch of trinkets. Although they weren’t worth much, she was quite happy with it. This was the first time she had made friends outside of her family.
She gave Wei Chunhua a talisman shortly after and Wei Chunhua didn’t refuse it.
The two of them accepted each other’s gifts. Seeing Wei Chunhua acting more like a father than he did, Mr. Tang felt a little jealous. He felt like he couldn’t give anything to Tang Susu.
Tang Susu quickly bought two more talismans with her profit of 70 million. One for her mother and one for her father.
Their martial prowess didn’t improve as quickly as her three brothers. If the talismans were available to block their dooms in critical timings, Tang Susu could rest much more easily.
After eating, everyone took a break too. They could do both at once.
“It’s daybreak.”
The group stood up and looked at the sea of corpses outside the window.
A new battle was going to begin.
They could still hear gunshots from upstairs sporadically, but no one came down in the end.
