When he was searching for supplies because of the chaos, Chi Yan picked up everything he thought he could use.
There was naturally no shortage of food.
Rice, flour, and the like. He stockpiled plenty.
Then Chi Yan, the wasteful fool, hated the idea of zombies dirtying his hands while prying out Crystal Cores, so he used food to hire people to do it for him.
He would also be lazy at times, not wanting to fight zombies, instead using food and some daily necessities to hire people to clear the way and scavenge for him.
He even bartered food for some useless items like massage chairs, tea, coffee machines...
"Can you believe this guy?" Lin Murong ranted after betraying his friend, then rhetorically asked.
Su Yinhe: "… Yeah. It's normal. Within his capability, he's just trying to live a little better, which is human nature."
Chi Yan was a bit picky.
But that was also normal.
He was trading with his own stuff.
