Am I making too much money?

Zheng Sheng glanced at the wad of banknotes handed to him, but said nothing. He felt his intelligence had been insulted.

Money? What good is money now!

They might starve to death tomorrow; even a million dollars might not be enough to buy a bottle of water.

"Get out! I have no food."

Zheng Sheng's cold refusal and impolite attitude made the three of them frown.

"Young man, please speak more politely. Everyone has their own difficulties."

"The three of us have been starving for days. If you're not going to sell us food, then sell us this dog instead."

The three men stared intently at the black dog beside Zheng Sheng, their eyes like those of hungry wolves. They didn't actually want food; they had their eyes on the little black dog from the very beginning.

One dog, if fed sparingly, is enough to feed them for several days.

"Oh? You want my dog?" Zheng Sheng sneered inwardly.

"Yes, we'll pay for it!"

"Ten thousand yuan is more than enough to buy a dog; you're actually making a profit. Don't be ungrateful!"

As they spoke, the three men surrounded Zheng Sheng with sickles and steel pipes, prepared to use force if Zheng Sheng did not agree.

"Yeah?"

Zheng Sheng sneered and stood on the road, his whole demeanor turning sinister.

A bunch of bastards, trying to steal from me!

System, give me some points!

……

[Ding, 500 survival points consumed, Constitution +1]

Current physical condition: 10 points.

[Current remaining survival points: 2100]

……

Zheng Sheng's physique appeared slightly swollen, but it wasn't noticeable due to the clothes covering it.

But if someone were to peel off his clothes, they would be surprised to find that his muscles were bulging, his body was in perfect golden proportion, and he even had an amazing eight-pack.

10 points of physique, the limit for an average human!

In other words, Zheng Sheng's physique is now comparable to that of a world all-around sports champion.

Sensing the change in his physical strength, Zheng Sheng's lips curled up. He lunged forward, wielding the kitchen knife in his hand with a fierce swing, leaving afterimages in his wake.

In an instant, all three men's calves were slashed.

Then Zheng Sheng suddenly squatted down, bent over, turned around and threw a punch!

A fist the size of a clay pot landed heavily on the leader's abdomen, sending him flying more than a meter away.

too fast!

No one expected Zheng Sheng to be so physically strong and so ruthless!

"Get out of here, all of you!"

The three wounded men stared at Zheng Sheng in terror and retreated frantically.

Seeing such a ruthless scene, the onlookers in the group all moved away from Zheng Sheng, not daring to look him in the eye.

……

After this little incident, the whole group quieted down again, and Zheng Sheng sat back in the corner. No one dared to come up and chat with him anymore.

To be honest, if there was no one around, he would have preferred to kill the three of them outright.

After all, there were no laws on this strange highway, and he had already made enemies with them. Only by killing the three of them could he sleep peacefully.

Otherwise, what if the other party takes revenge on me while I'm sleeping?

But he didn't do that, mainly because of the three veterans in the team.

Zheng Sheng glanced at the three people at the front of the group.

Two men and one woman, all very thin, were pushing bicycles piled high with supplies.

The three could obviously have gotten rid of these burdens, but they didn't. Instead, they took them with them to survive.

He was unsure of the three people's attitudes, so he chose to play it safe.

Although he didn't kill many people, he deliberately injured their calves. In this godforsaken place, an injured leg would definitely cause them to fall behind.

And falling behind...

The group that escaped from the township consisted of at least several hundred people, but after a month, the group had dwindled to half its size.

Those who fell behind almost none caught up; they were probably all dead.

soon.

After resting, the team set off again.

The three who had been fighting for the prize earlier fell to the back of the group due to leg injuries.

Less than half an hour later, Zheng Sheng looked back and saw only a dark and eerie road; the three figures were no longer visible.

…………

"I'm so hungry, so hungry!"

The group was halfway there when they reached the middle of the crowd.

A woman in her fifties took a plastic bottle and gulped down the urine she had been saving up for several days.

When she escaped from the town, she didn't bring much food or water, and the prolonged extreme hunger caused her to begin to lose her mind.

"Please, give me some food, just a little bit."

"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry!"

"Give me a bite to eat, and I'll do anything, please."

The middle-aged woman begged people everywhere in the line, kowtowing and kneeling, but no one was willing to share food with her.

No one knows how long this road is. Food is everyone's life now, and no one is willing to lend their life to someone else.

"Do you have no morals at all?"

"Respect the elderly and care for the young! I'm starving!"

"Are you going to watch me die? Don't you have any conscience?"

When the woman couldn't get any food, she started swearing.

However, when he suddenly saw Zheng Sheng while he was cursing, he quietly changed direction and continued cursing.

Although she was going crazy, she wasn't stupid and clearly didn't want to offend Zheng Sheng, a ruthless person.

After she finished cursing, she started crying again, taking off her clothes as she cried, saying she could exchange her body for food.

But who would be interested in a woman in her fifties? She must be starving.

Zheng Sheng shook his head, but reality quickly slapped him in the face.

To his astonishment, a person stepped out from the line.

A bald, lean old man in his sixties stepped forward, gave the woman a fist-sized steamed bun, and then the two of them tacitly retreated to the back of the line.

In the dim, blurry light, the two seemed to be engaging in some kind of exercise.

Zheng Sheng glanced at it and, with his eyesight at the limit of 10 points for an average human being, was able to see it clearly.

The pose is difficult and a bit cringe-worthy.

It can only be said that the older generation had even more elaborate games than they do now.

The team did not stop moving forward because of this little incident. The three senior investors in the lead paid no attention to these minor disturbances and did not stop for a moment.

"I don't have much food left."

Zheng Sheng opened his backpack, which contained some survival gear, a few compressed biscuits, and a few bottles of water, enough to last him at most a week.

If he still can't find the human city mentioned by the three experts after a week, his food will probably run out.

Fortunately, we can add some.

Looking at the compressed biscuits in the backpack, I noticed a yellow plus button on each biscuit.

[Would you like to consume 100 survival points to upgrade the compressed biscuits?]

"Yes, system, add some points for me!"

[Ding! Consumed 100 survival points, obtained concentrated compressed biscuits]

[Current remaining survival points: 2000]

After successfully adding the ingredient, Zheng Sheng felt a sudden weight in his hand. The compressed biscuit, which was still the same size, was several times heavier than before, and its color had become darker, with a density as hard as iron.

He looked at the compressed biscuits in his hand with satisfaction. He had enhanced them before, so one compressed biscuit could last for ten days and was very filling.

It's a bit too hard, it feels like chewing on a brick, it hurts my teeth.

Zheng Sheng then took out the kitchen knife from his waist.

"System, how many survival points are needed to upgrade this kitchen knife?"

[Would you like to consume 500 survival points to upgrade your kitchen knife?]

500 points? That's a lot.

"No need, I was just asking."

Zheng Sheng ignored the system and silently put away the kitchen knife.

The point system has a very limited function; it can only enhance everything, and it consumes survival points.

However, he recently found a way to get the system for free.

Ask before adding points each time; the system will generate the number of survival points consumed based on the strength of the enhancement.

When used properly, it can be considered half an identification system.

Because he had tried it, and this method could be used on supernatural entities to determine their strength.

Zheng Sheng looked at the kitchen knife in his hand, which was his only weapon. However, he did not rush to upgrade the knife because he only had 2000 upgrade points left.

With the future uncertain, we must use these enhancements where they are most needed, just in case.

…………

"Keep a close eye on them."

Suddenly, the man in the leather jacket, one of the three leaders, spoke in a low voice, seemingly warning everyone.

"Remember, do not leave the highway area."

The sudden reminder left the team members somewhat puzzled, but Zheng Sheng quickly learned the reason.

Suddenly, the long line of people stopped and gathered by the roadside, their eyes filled with greed.

Zheng Sheng glanced warily into the crowd, but didn't move too far forward.

Through the gap, one could see a tree in the thick fog by the roadside, and a rotting skeleton sitting under the tree.
