Wang Yu didn't rest after leaving Feng Qing.
Instead, he went to the teaching building to help out, collecting zombie corpses.
At noon, everyone returned with their spoils. Of course, they also brought back grim news.
More than a dozen people had died today.
Most were from the library, lacking combat experience, so casualties were inevitable.
There were also a few who had participated in battles before.
After all, the fighting today was in the teaching building, where zombies were more numerous and dense, unlike the dormitory areas where many zombies were locked in rooms.
However, the number of deaths didn't mean much to Wang Yu, as long as the rewards were sufficient.
In the morning, a total of 1,653 Class 1 bug crystals were collected.
This number matched the corpses Wang Yu had stored in his spatial ring.
It indicated that no one dared to pocket the bug crystals.
1,653 bug crystals were almost as many as the entire previous day's harvest.
Yesterday, the group had cleared several dormitory areas and zombies on the road.
They had only obtained 1,837 bug crystals.
This was not only because there were more zombies in the teaching building area but also because everyone killed zombies faster.
Compared to yesterday, You Xin Ci had leveled up twice, the other three women had leveled up once, and Chen and Zhang had also leveled up once.
Setting aside Chen and Zhang, the combat power of You Xin Ci and the others was now truly formidable.
After all, including the time in the secret realm, their training volume was much greater than that of other survivors.
Furthermore, the 100 bug crystals Wang Yu had given out today had resulted in 10 new Class 1 evolutionaries in the team.
Of course, there were also contributions from other ordinary people.
Although they hadn't changed much compared to yesterday, after a full day of combat, they would definitely be more proficient at killing zombies today.
In short, such a harvest made Wang Yu happy.
He specifically returned to the secret realm to retrieve some frozen pork, frozen chicken, and fresh vegetables.
He naturally had food in his spatial ring, and even many cooked dishes.
However, there was still a lot of frozen meat purchased in bulk from the secret realm before, and that had to be eaten first.
When he emerged, Wang Yu was even happier.
Because Hu Niu told him that in a few more days, around tonight according to Blue Star's time.
Hu Niu would be able to transform!
This was not easy. Ever since he was reborn.
Although only about 18 days had passed on Blue Star.
In the secret realm, he had spent nearly two months with Hu Niu!
At this moment, Wang Yu suddenly felt a... well, how to put it.
The joy of nurturing?
The joy of harvest?
With a somewhat excited mood, Wang Yu led everyone to the canteen, took out the food he had just retrieved from the secret realm, and ordered people to start cooking.
The canteen had everything: gas, clean water, and various seasonings.
Everyone started cooking enthusiastically, talking and laughing.
Everyone assumed Wang Yu had a spatial ability, so they weren't too surprised when he produced frozen meat and fresh vegetables.
Wang Yu's team now had nearly 140 people.
There were slightly more men than women, about a dozen more.
This was also normal.
In the apocalypse, men were generally more likely to survive.
If it weren't for Wang Yu, at least half of these women wouldn't have survived this long.
For example, the girls from the library, or Zhou Ruoxi who, despite hiding in her dormitory, only had enough food to last a few days.
Whether men or women, without food.
They would either starve to death in place, or go out to fight zombies and find new food.
In such a situation, it was naturally men, who were inherently more suited for combat, who had a higher chance of survival.
When everyone saw the hot meals, they were all very happy.
They sat around the canteen tables, as if nothing had changed from before the apocalypse.
Before eating, everyone shouted: "Long live Brother Yu! Long live Boss!"
The girls liked to call him Brother Yu, following Zhou Ruoxi's example.
The boys all called him Boss, as Chen Youting had requested.
Hearing their shouts, Wang Yu just smiled.
He also sat down, gathering with You Xin Ci and the other four women.
Eating the same food as everyone else.
It was as if he had returned to his normal school days.
After a few bites, everyone praised it as the best meal they had eaten since the apocalypse.
Indeed.
After so many days, being able to eat fragrant white rice, delicious pork, chicken, and vegetables again was such a blissful thing!
Some people even started crying as they ate.
Someone said, "This is the best meal I've ever eaten in my life."
Another said, "I don't know if my family is still alive, or if they can still eat."
Gradually, more and more people cried while eating, especially the girls. Almost half of them were crying, their tears falling into their bowls.
...
After everyone had eaten their fill and rested for more than half an hour.
They set out again, continuing to clear the zombies in the teaching building.
Feng Qing also asked to join, but Wang Yu did not agree.
He had made Feng Qing an evolutionary not for her to kill zombies. After listening to Feng Qing's experience, Wang Yu only wanted her to be part of the management, assisting You Xin Ci.
Besides, if she went, Chu Jiayu would definitely go too.
That would be too troublesome. Wang Yu was too lazy to manage her on the battlefield, and he didn't want to give her bug crystals yet.
In the afternoon, everyone was more motivated and killed another 1,586 zombies.
In fact, if it were just about killing zombies, the harvest today would have been more than this.
Because killing a zombie was just one or at most two strikes.
But digging out bug crystals was much more troublesome.
The time it took to dig out one bug crystal could be used to kill several zombies.
In the evening, the group retreated.
You Xin Ci handed the 1,586 bug crystals to Wang Yu.
Wang Yu, in front of the other women, rewarded her with a kiss, making You Xin Ci a bit embarrassed.
Zhou Ruoxi and the others didn't seem to feel anything.
Although they also longed for Wang Yu's affection, they wouldn't express it casually.
Now, everyone was more concerned about how the bug crystals would be distributed.
The more they fought with zombies, the more they craved power!
Although their Level 2 strength meant they didn't fear Level 1 zombies at all, they couldn't fight for an entire day.
But You Xin Ci was different.
Not only was she fiercer than them, but she was also not tired after fighting all day!
She hadn't rested at all!
It was unbelievable!
So they also longed to reach Level 3.
Especially Zhao Ling. If it weren't for bug crystals, apart from Ma Ying, she would undoubtedly be the strongest among the women.
Compared to now, Wang Yu would definitely value her more.
Therefore, she also longed to reach Level 3 as soon as possible, so that Wang Yu would pay attention to her again.
