Among the dense ranks of ordinary zombies, there were still Crawler and Venom Breeder presences.
Occasionally, a giant figure over three meters tall could be seen.
However, this guy was constantly patrolling behind the teaching building, only revealing half an arm at most.
It was a human arm.
But much larger.
Veins bulged on it, making the muscles look like they were about to explode!
Just looking at that arm, Zhang Chen knew.
The strength of this guy was definitely far above the Crawlers and Venom Breeders!
If any other survivor saw such a scene, they would probably be so scared their legs would go numb.
But Zhang Chen's lips curved into a greedy smile!
In his eyes, these were all energy core fragments!
Resources scattered everywhere that could make him stronger!
It wasn't easy to get so many resources at once; they had to be utilized well!
Zhang Chen subconsciously glanced at the entrance of Tianyang University.
Suddenly, his gaze froze!
The security room at the entrance had been destroyed, leaving only ruins.
Steel bars were still exposed in the air.
A Crawler was crawling around the edge of the broken wall...
Could it be... Zhao Xiyue is dead?
Zhang Chen's heart suddenly clenched.
Ding dong!
Ding dong!
Zhao Xiyue: Are you there, Brother Zhang Chen?
??? Zhao Xiyue isn't dead?
Zhang Chen's heart leaped with joy.
Then he understood.
Tianyang University was such a large school; it definitely had more than one entrance and exit.
So there had to be more than one security room.
Zhao Xiyue must have hidden in another security room.
That made sense!
Zhang Chen looked at the destroyed security room in front of him again.
The exposed steel bars were already rusty.
It looked like it had been destroyed a long time ago.
And given the strength of a Crawler,
Even though its claws were sharp, they weren't strong enough to dismantle a reinforced concrete building!
What's up?
Zhang Chen replied.
Several people just wanted to buy bows and arrows, and the bows you gave me are all reserved!
I don't know if you have any extra bows, so I can reply to them!
Also, those who reserved them have sent the transactions!
They are [Energy Core Fragment] *10 plus [Ice Condensation Flower] *5, [Bucket of Instant Noodles] *5 + [Blood-stained Key] *10 + [Carbonated Hard Candy] *5, [Skill: Beginner Mechanical Repair] + [Skill: Advanced Electrician], [Beginner Physique Potion] *1 + [Steel] *100...
When trading, compare them with what I sent you, to prevent anyone from trying to be clever and cutting corners!
I was afraid you were busy just now, so I didn't ask you...
Your bows and arrows are too popular right now, with too many inquiries!
There are too many pending orders, which is why I had to contact you...
I hope I haven't inconvenienced you!
Zhao Xiyue was methodical.
And also very considerate.
Alright, I got it. I'll handle it when I get back to my place!
Zhang Chen replied.
Oh, you're still outside!
Then don't talk anymore, be sure to stay safe!
No need to reply to this message, just let me know when you get back!
Zhao Xiyue said nervously.
I'm fine, the surrounding zombies have all been cleared!
How are things on your end?
Is that Crawler still wandering around nearby?
Zhang Chen asked.
I'm fine, I'm very safe!
I've been keeping an eye on that Crawler for you, it's been lingering around!
I just saw it heading towards Teaching Building No. 1!
Zhao Xiyue replied with a serious expression.
Good, as long as you're okay!
Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though he had never met this girl before.
They had only known each other for a few days.
But Zhang Chen inexplicably didn't want her to be eaten by zombies!
Oh, you care about me...
Zhao Xiyue's pretty face turned red. Look at the book!
No, I'm just asking where that monster is...
Remember, no one is reliable in the apocalypse!
No matter what I say now, it can all be faked!
In the apocalypse, women, especially beautiful women, who trust others easily are essentially sending themselves to their deaths!
Do you understand?
Zhang Chen said sternly.
Heh, are you calling me beautiful?
Zhao Xiyue smiled sweetly.
I... I mean you need to protect yourself, don't trust people easily!
Can't you grasp the main point of what I'm saying?
Zhang Chen's forehead was covered in black lines.
Mhmm, I got it, don't worry!
I know how to protect myself!
Actually, when I was in school, many people pursued me!
But I could tell that they didn't genuinely have my best interests at heart.
But you are different from them... you... are very special...!
Zhao Xiyue replied shyly.
Alright, let's not talk for now. I'll talk when I get back to my place!
Zhang Chen closed the chat channel.
The sun had already begun to slant westward.
There was still the last hour before true sunset!
With so little time, it was impossible to clear the sea of zombies in Tianyang University.
It was better to collect more wood!
Use the night time to make more bows and arrows!
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen's gaze locked onto the rows of trees by the roadside.
He began to collect!
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining [Wood] *7, [Sprouting Branch] *2!
Ding! Congratulations on obtaining [Wood] *5, [Sprouting Branch] *1!
......
He collected until the sun was about to set before returning to the residential area.
Zhang Chen obtained a total of [Wood] *356, [Sprouting Branch] *177!
Upon returning home, the first thing he did.
Zhang Chen first took off the clothes stained with zombie blood and recycled them directly.
Obtained [Clean Cloth] *5.
Then, using the skill: Fashion Master, he made another tracksuit.
He went back to the bathroom and took a good bath.
He washed away the sweat.
Then he took out a bottle of soda, took out a few ice cubes from the refrigerator, and poured them into a glass!
Zhang Chen stood by the floor-to-ceiling window on the eighth floor, looking out at the dead city.
He took a sip of the iced beverage!
Heh... so comfortable~
He stretched lazily.
Killing zombies had also become like a 9-to-5 job.
Er Pang had fought all day and was exhausted.
Although it was incredibly powerful when enlarged,
It was still a small dog!
At this moment, it was lying by Zhang Chen's feet, fast asleep.
It was still smacking its lips in its sleep, as if dreaming of eating delicious food!
Zhang Chen checked the time. It was less than ten seconds before the streetlights were supposed to turn on.
He greatly enjoyed watching the city light up.
This gave Zhang Chen the illusion that civilization had not completely perished!
But time ticked by...
The streetlights did not turn on on time!
As the sky grew darker, the whole world was plunged into darkness!
Tonight was a waning crescent moon.
The moon was already not bright enough.
Coupled with the sudden widespread power outage,
The entire city was plunged into darkness so thick one couldn't see their hand in front of their face!
