Chapter 11: Black Bread, Canned Meat, Aquafina
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Although he despised the concealment and defense of this beach car, it was already good enough to have a transportation tool in the desert.
In the desert, physical strength was very precious.
Moreover, the trash can at the back was used to store supplies.
Bick didn't want to take supplies from his body every day for no reason. Regarding the secrets of the system, he was prepared to bring it into the coffin.
During the few days when he slaughtered the zombies in the crevice of the giant rock, Bick didn't forget to check in.
This was his biggest reliance in the wasteland world. Even if he forgot to eat and drink, he wouldn't forget this.
Unfortunately, the things he got after checking in were far less good than the first time.
Anyway, Bick felt that it wasn't of much use.
The reward for checking in the next day was medieval black bread in tons, and it was the most authentic black bread.
It had a sour taste, a hard texture, and a dark color.
Bic took a bite and put them in the system space. He didn't want to look at them anymore.
Bread was a food. Other than water and flour, shouldn't they add milk powder, sugar, honey, butter, and other accessories?
Bic wasn't picky about the taste of bread. He could accept all of the above.
But what the hell, that was sawdust!
And it was at least half of it. Was it bread or wood?
Although the food in the wasteland world was precious, Bick still swore that he would never eat it again.
If the next day's signing was acceptable, even if he did not eat it, it would be good to sell it in tonnage units.
No matter what, it was a free check-in, so it would sell a little.
However, the third day's check-in reward was sanitary napkins!
And it was a full container of sanitary napkins. There were all kinds of models.
What ultra-thin, night-use, sports-type..
At that time, Bick was completely devastated. Why would a man like him want this thing?
On the fourth day, the system finally returned to normal and gave two containers of World War I military luncheon meat cans.
To Bick, this thing was like medieval black bread.
He had watched a documentary on the internet and knew that during World War I, many black-hearted businessmen used all kinds of strange things to make luncheon meat. Animal viscera and starch were considered good, and some even used rats to replace the internal organs.
Therefore, Bic did not eat this thing. Who knew what the contents of this batch of canned food were.
Of course, it could also be said that Bick wasn't well-educated about hunger.
After all, he had only been hungry for a few days in the wasteland world when the check-in system was activated. He could use the Mcdonald's package.
The check-in on the sixth day wasn't bad. It was Pepsi's Aquafina drinking water. It was a standard 600ML bottle, and there were two containers piled up in boxes.
Before he transmigrated, Bic often drank this brand, so there was nothing wrong and he was used to it.
And the day he met Kate was the first weekly sign-up.
The system actually sent Bick the beach buggy that he drove when he was working at Santa Monica Beach before he transmigrated.
Speaking of which, Bick would rather the system send him the 67 impala he bought after graduating from university.
Even though that old buddy of his was weak and always stalled when it drove, Bick still felt that it was more reliable than a beach buggy that could only run at 10 kilometers per hour.
However, thinking about the terrain of the desert, it was better not to drive the impala.
"Hey, beauty, do you want to go for a ride together?" Initially, Bick was not interested in this beach buggy, but when he saw Kate's dumbfounded look, he immediately became happy again.
He flirtatiously brushed his hair and issued an invitation to Kate.
"Boring noble children!" Kate complained in her heart. She rolled her eyes and wanted to go to the garbage bin behind the beach buggy.
"Oh, my God, these, these are all yours?" Kate was dumbfounded when she saw the supplies piled up in the trunk.
Bread, canned luncheon meat, bottled water, and a big bag of sanitary napkins!
How long had it been since she had eaten food other than nutritional supplements?
Sanitary napkins were a female essential item. She had never seen them since she came out of the sanctuary.
As for how to deal with the monthly menstrual period, it was a long story.
"There are no more seats at the back. I think you should come to the driver's seat. The two of us can squeeze in together." Bick would never admit that he had deliberately stuffed the trunk so full.
After all, his system space had unlimited capacity. Food and water were still inside.
It was far better than taking them out and putting them in the carriage.
"These, these are your supplies?" Kate's eyes were red, and she even swallowed her saliva in an unsightly manner.
"Of course, they're yours now. Please enjoy them to your heart's content." It was only then that Bick remembered that Kate had only drank half a glass of iced coke.
She must still be very hungry now. Anyway, she wouldn't eat these things herself, and the other party was her own employee. If Kate ate her fill, she would be able to serve herself better.
Hearing Bick's words, Kate couldn't hold it in any longer. She wolfed down the black bread. In Bick's eyes, the black bread was as hard as an oak stake, but Kate ate it easily.
Bick felt that his teeth were a little sore. After looking at it for a while, he even vaguely felt that maybe the black bread wasn't that bad?
He subconsciously took a piece to his mouth, but it still almost broke his teeth. The bits that he chewed off were still filled with the smell of sawdust and the sour taste that hadn't been fully fermented.
The canned luncheon meat that was full of spices and starch was so good made Kate want to swallow her tongue. Finally, she drank a bottle of Aquafina and burped happily.
"If, I mean if, I can pack a meal like this every day, we can still talk about the monthly salary." Kate had already noticed when she ate that these foods were not contaminated by nuclear radiation and there were no biochemical residues.
Such food would definitely be a best-seller in the wasteland world.
If such food was provided every day, Kate felt that it was more convenient to sell it than a glass of coke every month.
It was still very difficult to sell top-grade luxury goods like coke.
Just like before the war, those top jewelers would cut up large pieces of diamonds when they got them, otherwise, they would not be able to sell them at all.
If the value was too high, the market would shrink accordingly.
"Alright, if you like these, then it's not a problem." Bick shrugged casually.
If he could use black bread, luncheon meat, and bottled water to pay his salary, it would be much more convenient than coke.
There were only a few cups of coke left. Who knew when he would get them the next time he checked in.
The Bick system space had tons of black bread and the like.
Just as the sun was about to set, the slow beach buggy arrived at a dilapidated villa area. It seemed to be a pre-war resort.
Unfortunately, after the post-war survivors wiped out the area, coupled with a century of neglect, this place did not even need a set to shoot horror movies.
