Chapter 54 Elinor
What was Steven's attitude towards the messages from those female owners?
He just glanced at some interesting long messages and couldn't be bothered to reply.
Of course, there were a few daring women who directly sent Steven private selfies.
Steven casually took a look, but he wasn't particularly interested.
The main issue was that these women were too confident. While a few were decent-looking, most were just average in appearance.
They were not female livestreamers who had practiced swaying their waists and hips in a professional way, so there was nothing worth seeing.
Are you testing men with this?
No man can resist such a test.
As for the ulterior motives of some male residents, it was even simpler.
They all called out to Steven as if he were their brother or buddy, asking for his help.
Then, there were some old men demanding that Steven take care of them by employing moral blackmail.
The most disgusting part was that there was even a gay!
As for the requests he made... Steven didn't want to mention them.
After looking around, Steven felt bored.
Placing his phone in front of him on a stand he found, he harbored hope for the emergence of some creative ideas.
Then, Steven lay on the sofa, sipping red wine, eating foie gras, and admiring the beautiful snow outside the window.
Two weeks passed, and the snow outside continued to fall.
The entire city was completely covered in heavy snow. According to Steven's memory, the snow would continue for another month, submerging everything below the fourth floor.
As for how much longer it would last, he wasn't sure.
However, he didn't feel the need to go out.
Going out meant seeking hope for survival, but now, no one knew where they could survive except for Steven.
Leaning his chin on his hand, Steven lazily muttered, "Staying at home every day is quite boring. Maybe I should go out for a trip sometime?"
When most of the people in the building had died, he could go out for a stroll.
Steven thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that he had a few snowmobiles in his warehouse.
Those were originally intended to be transported to an artificial ice and snow area in the nearby city for use.
With these, even if there were 33 feet of snow outside, he would still be able to go out.
"Although I can't leave this house now, with this method, I can go out for a breath of fresh air in the future as long as it's safe."
Steven was somewhat intrigued.
He occasionally felt bored at home, and going out to relax wouldn't be a bad idea.
He had professional-grade cold-resistant clothing and snowmobiles, so he wasn't afraid even in -160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Steven continued to browse through the neighbors' messages out of boredom.
Among these people, there was one person's message that caught Steven's attention.
The message from Elinor was not about begging or sending private photos, but a very calm request to exchange with Steven.
Elinor stated, "Mr. Rogers, our food and medicine at home are running out. I hope you can provide some help. In return, I can offer you medical assistance."
"Elinor?"
Elinor's image quickly came to Steven's mind.
A female doctor at Starlight City Mayo Hospital, 26 years old, tall and slender, at least 6 feet tall.
What impressed Steven the most was not her cold and restrained face, but her a stunning figure with a 36D bust size.
Especially when she wore a black sweater in winter, the way her chest stood high, made Steven couldn't help but glance a few more times whenever they met in the elevator.
"It's no wonder she's a doctor, very rational. You're not begging for alms from me, but proposing an exchange, right?"
Steven appreciated Elinor's attitude.
In the apocalypse, only valuable people had the right to survive.
Elinor also showed her value through her superb medical skills.
After all, without certain abilities, it would be impossible to work at the Mayo Hospital in Starlight City.
In the apocalypse, medical skills were also very important.
Although Steven had stocked up on many medicines and had been studying in this area, he didn't have the confidence to handle all diseases.
Having a doctor by his side would provide him with great security for his future survival.
Most importantly, Steven had observed Elinor's humanity.
In the previous life, she died because she gave food to Cara.
Whether out of complete despair or genuine kindness, at least, Steven saw the shining aspects of humanity in her.
Steven adjusted his posture, with one hand on his thigh and the other supporting his chin, murmuring, "Should I keep her to take care of me and my Dick?"
"Although I'm living comfortably now, it's a bit miserable for it, that's a problem."
Steven was a young man full of vigor, and he didn't shy away from issues related to sex.
Moreover, in a world where morals and etiquette no longer existed, there was no need for humans to live too repressed. It was better to honestly face one's desires.
Suddenly, Steven burst into laughter.
He patted the armrest and said, "I'm somewhat tempted, but it's a pity, it's a pity!"
He looked up at the ceiling and said leisurely, "I, I'm actually quite afraid of death. Although Elinor is a possible choice, without a hundred percent control over her, I can't let her in."
"Let's talk about this later!"
"There will definitely be survivors in the future. With my good conditions, why would I have trouble finding a good doctor and a good woman?"
Steven's mindset was very optimistic; he was indeed a man who had died once.
He replied to Elinor, "I am very healthy now and don't need a doctor. But I do have a lot of medicine at home, not to mention food."
"If you want to exchange, you need to offer me something that is useful to me now."
'No matter how beautiful and talented you are, without value, you won't get anything from me!' he thought.
Steven never made a losing deal.
There was a long silence before Elinor replied.
"Shall we consider it as an advance medical fee? I... I really can't hold on any longer."
Elinor's tone was tinged with hesitation and a hint of shame.
It was evident that if she didn't have to, she wouldn't easily seek help from a man she wasn't very familiar with.
After some contemplation, Steven said to her, "I can provide you with food and medicine. But you also need to do me a favor."
"What favor?" Elinor asked.
Steven said, "These neighbors are probably going to come after me. If you know their plan, let me know."
Steven knew that these crazy neighbors would definitely come to attack his house. But he wasn't afraid.
When he built this steel fortress, he spent a lot of money and personally selected many features. The purpose was to wait for this day to come!
At this moment, his home was like a slightly weaker war fortress.
Even if a group of armed soldiers wanted to break into his house without heavy weapons, they wouldn't be able to open his door.
Not to mention these starving and freezing neighbors who were barely alive.
He proposed this condition just to give Elinor an excuse.
And having an insider would provide an extra layer of insurance, allowing him to prepare early.
