People often say that the less one has, the more one desires it.
If a person is fixated on something, it means they likely have regrets or have been stimulated in that regard.
For example, if a person's family was extremely poor in childhood, so poor that it harmed their young mind.
Then they might strive to succeed and find ways to become wealthy.
Just like Jia Xuewen, who lacked motherly love as a child and suffered regrets during his adolescence.
This is why he was so attentive to Feng Qing, even sending people to stake out her home during the apocalypse, unable to forget her.
Because Feng Qing's figure was truly enticing, well-maintained, and at nearly 40, she looked like she was just past 30.
She closely resembled the slightly over thirty caregiver from when he first started junior high.
Now that Wang Yu and Feng Qing had exposed his intentions, he was naturally enraged!
Wang Yu ignored him and continued to tease, "Hearing you talk about your family situation just now, it's quite normal to have lacked love since childhood, isn't it?"
"Were your parents not busy? Did they always have time to accompany you?"
This barrage of questions was truly unanswerable for Jia Xuewen.
It even carried a critical blow.
He simply snorted coldly and remained silent.
Wang Yu didn't ask further, as the night wasn't meant to be wasted like this.
He took out a long sword and handed it to Chu Jiayu.
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
Chu Jiayu, Feng Qing, and even Jia Xuewen were stunned.
Subsequently, their expressions varied.
Chu Jiayu took the long sword, her expression complex, and finally shook her head, "No."
Feng Qing naturally showed concern, but after a moment of thought.
Wang Yu's action was likely a test, so it wasn't appropriate for her to intervene.
Besides, she wasn't particularly inclined to dissuade him; it wasn't bad for Chu Jiayu to take this step.
Jia Xuewen was utterly terrified, as he found he couldn't speak at all!
He was restricted by an invisible force, unable to even move, as if he were taped to a wall!
"Killing zombies is just the most basic mandatory lesson in the apocalypse, and so is killing people. If you want to survive in the apocalypse on your own, you must have the courage to kill."
Wang Yu said to Chu Jiayu in a preachy tone.
"The apocalypse is very complex; all living beings, except yourself, could be your enemy."
"If I hadn't come to save you, you would either have to kill to survive on your own or become his plaything to live a life of subservience."
The reason Wang Yu said so much to Chu Jiayu was that he felt she had a good disposition and intended to cultivate her appropriately.
If she were lucky enough to awaken a good superpower in the future, Wang Yu would gain a powerful and loyal helper.
Chu Jiayu took two deep breaths and walked up to Jia Xuewen.
Initially, Jia Xuewen's eyes darted around, trying to express something.
When Chu Jiayu reached him, he seemed to accept his fate and stopped struggling, casting one last glance at Feng Qing.
Then, he closed his eyes.
Swish!
A silver light flashed, and Chu Jiayu, mustering all her strength, actually severed Jia Xuewen's head!
She had seen Wang Yu and the others efficiently cut off zombie necks, and although Wang Yu hadn't let her fight.
She had secretly practiced swinging the sword with force, thus beheading Jia Xuewen in one stroke.
Wang Yu patted her slender shoulder, "Not bad, this is your reward."
Reward?
Chu Jiayu, still immersed in the complex feelings of her first kill, turned her head and looked at a bag Wang Yu held out.
It contained 10 Level 1 bug crystals.
"This is for me?"
Chu Jiayu felt a bit strange, this feeling... was it like rewarding a child for being good?
"You don't want it? Then forget it, I don't have many left anyway."
"Who said I don't want it!"
Chu Jiayu snatched the bug crystals and made a face at Wang Yu.
"Taking back something you've given away, aren't you ashamed!"
Wang Yu smiled and didn't reply.
Children should indeed act like children; that's what makes them cute, isn't it?
Wang Yu put an arm around Chu Jiayu and the other around Feng Qing and leaped from the second-floor balcony.
The first floor was full of corpses, and he didn't want to walk through.
Upon returning to Villa No. 12, Feng Qing asked, "What about those women earlier?"
"It's fine, Haichen Garden is sparsely populated now. They can stay and clean up. I'll leave their arrangement to you from now on."
Wang Yu said this, and Feng Qing could only nod.
She truly thought the place was sparsely populated, completely unaware that Wang Yu had hundreds of people in his secret realm!
Afterward, Wang Yu brought Huang Sen out of the secret realm.
Emerging with him were 20 security guards from Yuan Shui Bi Group, along with several of Wang Yu's good buddies from college.
And Cai Xiao with two cooks.
As soon as Zhang Xiaoyu, Lin Hao, and the others emerged, Wang Yu assigned them a task.
That was to work with Huang Sen and the others to clear the corpses in Haichen Garden and then gather all the supplies.
From the time Wang Yu entered Haichen Garden to Chu Jiayu killing Jia Xuewen, many people had died.
If these corpses were not processed and buried, they would undoubtedly start to rot in a few days and easily cause plagues.
Zhang Xiaoyu and the others had wanted to come out earlier, but Wang Yu had said to wait until they had a base.
They had no choice but to follow his arrangements.
Things were different now; Wang Yu was no longer the same sloppy roommate they knew.
Everyone in the secret realm had to listen to him, as he provided for all their food, clothing, shelter, and living needs.
But all their families were outside, and they naturally didn't want to stay in the secret realm forever.
Regarding the supplies Wang Yu had hoarded in the secret realm before the apocalypse, and the warehouses, villas, houses, and farms he had built,
They were also puzzled, feeling as if Wang Yu could see the future.
This was indeed difficult to explain.
Wang Yu told them that a jade pendant passed down in his family had suddenly shown anomalies a few days before the apocalypse broke out, and that's how he obtained the secret realm.
He also dreamed of the zombie outbreak occurring for several consecutive days.
But no one would believe such a story, so he hadn't told them beforehand.
Fortunately, he had convinced his girlfriend, You Xinci at the time, to invest money in the secret realm.
This was how, by chance, they ended up in this situation.
His good buddies exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.
More than ten days had passed outside, but they had spent ten months inside!
During this time, they were naturally very worried about their families.
However, none of them were from this city, and their homes were elsewhere, so there was nothing they could do even if they were anxious.
One of them was even from Hebei Province inland, so there was truly nothing they could do even if they were anxious.
Fortunately, Wang Yu had already informed them about bug crystals and evolved individuals.
Now that they were out, they naturally intended to find ways to kill zombies for bug crystals, and once their strength was sufficient, they would go home!
