You Were Supposed to Survive, Yet You Opened a General Store and Left the Valkyrie Drooling

On the first day after transmigrating into a zombie apocalypse, Zhang Shuo nearly gets bitten to death in a supermarket.

At the brink of death, he awakens the “Vending Machine” ability.

Starting reward: one bottle of S-rank physique-enhancing serum.

Insert one zombie crystal, get one bottle of purified water.

Insert ten, get one standard-issue military knife.

Insert a hundred... Ding! Congratulations, Host. This draw has produced: [C-rank Ability Card: Flame Palm].

“Wait, your vending machine... it sells abilities too?”

The female officer stares at the vending machine that has appeared out of thin air behind him. Her expression shifts from wary to astonished, then turns into a burning gaze that sends a chill down Zhang Shuo’s back.

“Would you be willing to hand over your ability to the state?”

“No.”

“Then would you be willing to let me keep an eye on you?”

“...Depends who’s asking.”
