The bathroom in the bedroom is broken.
The three of them wanted to take a shower but had to use the shared bathroom outside.
As usual, Waldo walked over with a change of clothes.
But there was someone inside.
Waldo draped a towel over his shoulder and was about to turn back.
Huh?
At that moment, he noticed some clothes placed outside the bathroom.
Without much thought, Waldo walked over and casually picked them up, intending to take them to the washing machine on the balcony.
These should be the dirty clothes for today.
However, as he felt the smoothness of the fabric, something felt off.
There was no sweaty stickiness that dirty clothes usually have; instead, they felt clean.
Subconsciously, Waldo brought the clothes closer to his nose and sniffed.
A faint lavender fragrance, possibly from laundry detergent, emanated from the clothes.
It appeared to be clean clothes, no doubt.
Just then, the door opened.
Helen came out with just a towel wrapped around her.
The towel was not particularly thick, even somewhat thin, barely covering half of Helen's thighs.
Helen stared at Waldo, watching him holding the clothes she was planning to wear later, sniffing them near his nose.
The two locked eyes, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Waldo had no idea what to say.
In this situation, he resembled those perverted characters from adult films who sneak around while the female lead is bathing.
Damn it!
He felt like he had jumped into the Yellow River and could never wash away the shame!
Waldo lamented in his heart.
All he could do was awkwardly hand over the clothes.
Uh, um, Helen, your clothes...
Helen's face flushed red, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
She grabbed the clothes directly and stepped back, intending to close the bathroom door.
But just then, she stumbled.
"Ah!"
Helen let out a cry and fell heavily to the ground.
Waldo had already turned his head to leave, but upon hearing the cry behind him, he immediately turned back.
Seeing Helen fall, he quickly ran over to help her up.
"Helen, are you okay? Falling in the bathroom could be life-threatening."
Fortunately, Helen had undergone many upgrades and her physical condition was no longer the same as before.
For her, it wasn't dangerous.
Helen shook her head.
"I'm fine."
But she noticed that Waldo didn't speak right away.
Helen awkwardly lowered her head.
Her towel had slipped off during the previous movement.
Just now, she had forgotten to bring the clothes into the bathroom.
After realizing it, she didn't think too much about it and simply tied a knot in the towel before going outside to get the clothes.
Unexpectedly, so many things happened.
Waldo finally understood why Helen was the school's beauty.
Words like "snow-white skin" and "flawless complexion" were not enough to describe even one percent of her beauty.
Helen's mind was also blank.
It took her a few seconds to regain her senses before quickly pulling up the towel to cover herself.
Waldo rubbed his nose and wiped his face before finally speaking.
"Helen, let me help you sit outside. The floor is cold."
Helen's expression was somewhat resentful as she whispered, "You go out first. I need to get dressed."
"Ahahaha, alright!"
Upon hearing that, Waldo immediately got up and quickly slipped out.
Afterward, neither of them mentioned this incident, treating it as their secret.
Therefore, as Waldo watched Alanna and Helen playfully interact, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
He had no choice but to stand up and say, "I'll go to the rooftop to water the vegetables!"
Then he quickly left.
Watering the plants finally calmed his mood.
He also thought about the concrete issue, but the romantic feelings in his heart were long gone.
As he watered, he murmured to himself as if speaking to the vegetables.
If they couldn't upgrade to a medium-level underground fortress, they would have to leave the vegetables here.
Waldo shook his head and walked into the gazebo on the rooftop terrace, sitting on the stone bench while checking today's unlimited supplies.
Unlimited diesel fuel? Hmm, not bad!
They had previously seized an armored vehicle from East Star, but it had been idle because they lacked diesel fuel.
Now, finally, that problem was solved.
It could be considered a great combat asset.
Next, Waldo browsed the chat channels, looking for anyone selling concrete.
Code 763468: Seems like many people are buying concrete lately?
Code 672345: Only big teams are taking it. Upgrading to a medium-level underground fortress requires five thousand units of concrete. How can they not go crazy buying it? I even resold some concrete and made a small profit.
Code 845645: That's great. Our team nearly depleted our savings to build the underground fortress. Not to mention a medium-level one, which is too far from our reach.
Code 845232: Our team has a lot of concrete, but we don't know who to sell it to. The police station and the Drug Lord team don't need it anymore.
It's frustrating. Our team hasn't even built the underground fortress yet.
Code 763466: Damn, that's unfortunate. Having concrete but no S-Alloy, what a dramatic situation.
Code 325534: Brother, keep looking for buyers. There will always be someone interested. If all else fails, join a big team with your resources and survive first.
In the chat channels, many people expressed sympathy for the team that had a large amount of concrete but lacked S-Alloy to build the underground fortress.
There were also quite a few who took pleasure in their misfortune.
Code 674645: If you can't sell the concrete, just keep it to build your own coffin. It'll be sturdy, hahaha.
Code 623465: You're better off joining a big team! They can't even gather enough S-Alloy to build the underground fortress. Do you think they would accept such waste? Don't make me laugh.
Code 10086: Buying a large quantity of concrete. Price to be discussed in private chat.
Waldo sent a message.
Finally, he found someone who was interested. Since his team had a large amount of concrete but couldn't find a market, he naturally wanted to give it a try.
Afterward, he closed the chat channels and waited for the other person to initiate a private chat.
However, after a while, there was no response at all.
Waldo couldn't help but doubt his judgment.
Could it be that they weren't really in need of resources?
Otherwise, why would they let the message linger for so long without taking any action?
Shouldn't they be eager to start a private chat with him?
Ding!
Waldo smiled, knowing he had made the right bet.
