Elijah looked at Quentin and began to speak:
"We are not just a few people here. In our settlement, many others are waiting for us to bring back food. But you are right about one thing—there's so much food here, and some of it has a short shelf life. We can't finish it all ourselves, and it would be a shame to let it go to waste. So, we can give you some, but not for free."
As Elijah spoke, he took a corpse core out of his pocket and showed it to them.
"I call this thing a corpse core. You can find them near the back of some zombies' heads. If you want food, exchange it for these! I'll take as many as you can bring!"
After finishing, Elijah closed his mouth and quietly observed them.
He wasn't worried about the corpse cores being discovered.
Lily had already found these things before meeting them. Without knowing how to use them, corpse cores were just toxic crystals.
Currently, only he, Bella, and Daisy knew how to use them.
