“Phew~”
“Finally out!”
You Xinci appeared in Wang Yu’s dorm room and let out a long sigh.
Immediately after, she sniffed and frowned.
“What’s that smell?”
“Blood,” Wang Yu replied calmly.
Several hours had passed since the zombie outbreak.
Those who survived had become smarter.
They hid in their rooms, trying not to make any sound.
Thus, the two could only hear some low growls, like those of monsters, and occasionally the sound of zombies banging on doors.
You Xinci seemed a little scared, sticking close to Wang Yu.
The unknown was the most terrifying.
She could now smell blood and hear the zombies roaring, which made her more nervous than seeing a zombie with her own eyes.
It was like watching a horror movie, where the atmosphere before the monster appeared was the most frightening.
“Why don’t you stay in this room? I’ll go out and kill zombies first.”
Upon hearing this, You Xinci’s expression changed immediately, and she sat up straight.
“No! I’m coming with you. It’s the apocalypse now, these things are bound to happen, aren’t they?”
What a joke. She had finally gotten out, how could she let Wang Yu look down on her?
Wang Yu could obviously tell she was faking her composure, but he didn’t expose her.
He’d help her mentally prepare so she could accept it faster later.
Besides, she was right.
Whether it was becoming an evolved person or just surviving in the apocalypse, these things were inevitable.
As soon as the door was opened, You Xinci was startled by the headless corpse at the entrance.
She clutched Wang Yu’s hand tightly with her jade-like hand, only recovering after a while.
Wang Yu knew she needed a process to adapt, so he stood aside and let her hold his hand.
In fact, for a woman like You Xinci, seeing such a headless zombie and a zombie’s cracked skull without vomiting was already quite remarkable.
When Wang Yu knocked on the door of room 205, Chen Youting and the others emerged one by one.
With each person who came out, they would freeze for a moment.
Then, they would immediately shift their gaze elsewhere, not daring to look any further.
Wang Yu followed their gaze and glanced at You Xinci.
Indeed, she was beautiful.
She wore a white crew-neck t-shirt, revealing her delicate and alluring collarbones. A blue gemstone necklace, seemingly valuable, adorned her neck.
Outside, she wore a light blue, short, sheer shawl-like jacket and a knee-length pleated skirt of the same color.
Her appearance, figure, attire, and demeanor all left the young boys from the ivory tower astonished and blushing.
Especially her attire and demeanor, which were completely incomparable to the immature campus beauties in school.
However, they only stole a glance before quickly looking away.
It was a joke. Everyone loved to look at pretty women.
But that depended on the situation!
When this pretty woman was holding hands with a formidable person who could take on over twenty zombies, would you still dare to stare?
You’d probably be like the Old Man in the Moon eating arsenic, finding your life too long.
Moreover, after only half an hour, everyone felt that Wang Yu seemed a bit different.
His aura was even more terrifying, like a fierce beast.
You Xinci was very pleased with Chen Youting and the others’ reactions. Her beautiful eyes looked at Wang Yu, revealing a meaningful smile.
Wang Yu ignored her. After everyone had come out, just as he was about to make arrangements,
Chen Youting stepped forward to greet them, his face full of smiles and enthusiasm.
“Brother, this must be sister-in-law, right? She’s really beautiful!”
“Much prettier than our school’s campus beauties!”
The people behind him realized this was a good opportunity to flatter him and quickly chimed in, “Yes, yes, yes!”
You Xinci’s smile grew wider, and she looked at Wang Yu with pride.
Wang Yu: “…”
His mouth twitched. “Alright, stop making noise.”
“Now, you’ll follow me to clear out from the second floor upwards. I’ll break open any doors that are locked, and I’ll kill the zombies. You guys are responsible for collecting zombie worms and supplies.”
“If you find any usable weapons, take them too.”
“I can’t protect you forever. You need to learn to fight zombies yourselves.”
Actually, Wang Yu had more to say, but it would be too cruel for those who had just experienced the apocalypse.
Some people in despair would strive forward and fight back against all odds.
Others would give up on themselves and fall into the abyss of despair.
It was better to give them some hope now and let them work diligently first.
Hearing that they had to kill zombies, You Xinci reluctantly let go of Wang Yu’s hand.
She felt Wang Yu’s hand was very warm and provided a sense of security.
Especially in this environment.
Next, Wang Yu held an axe in his left hand and a sword in his right.
He would cleave open any locked room with an axe and kill any zombies that emerged with a sword.
These were all very easy for him with his current six-fold physique.
Using both hands was also a piece of cake for Wang Yu.
He, who was once only at level three strength,
had wielded two large sabers and single-handedly cleared a street filled with zombies from end to end.
Although that street was only a few hundred meters long, it had over five hundred zombies!
By the time he had completely traversed the entire street, he was not injured at all, only covered in the blood of hundreds of zombies.
Having cleared the zombies once before, clearing from the second to the sixth floor now took just over an hour.
Most of the time was spent digging for zombie worms and collecting supplies.
Although Wang Yu had an inexhaustible supply of resources for now, he didn’t want to expose it.
Furthermore, it was beneficial to let these people understand how hard it was to get food in the apocalypse, which would help them become self-reliant in the future.
“Alright, you guys can find a room to rest and eat something.”
Upon hearing that they could eat, the crowd finally showed signs of joy.
The zombies broke out at noon, and they had basically missed lunch. Some hadn’t even eaten breakfast and had been hungry until past four in the afternoon.
Now, thinking they could finally have a full meal, they were shocked when Wang Yu instructed Chen Youting to manage the supplies reasonably, allowing each person to eat only to sixty percent fullness.
The crowd immediately grumbled inwardly, but they also knew that food was limited and the outside was dangerous.
Moreover, the food was all obtained by Wang Yu killing zombies, so they dared not object to how it was distributed.
Chen Youting, seeing that Wang Yu had entrusted him with the sole responsibility of managing the supplies, and remained indifferent to this precious food,
was deeply moved and his loyalty to Wang Yu deepened.
Although he had seen Wang Yu conjure weapons out of thin air and make the plastic bags containing zombie worms disappear,
he thought of spatial abilities in novels and movies, but he was unsure if Wang Yu actually had any food.
So, he personally selected some appetizing packaged food and delivered it to Wang Yu’s doorstep.
Wang Yu did not move and asked You Xinci to receive it.
When Chen Youting saw You Xinci open the door, he immediately lowered his head slightly, not daring to look too much.
Wang Yu put the food into his storage ring and returned to the secret realm villa with You Xinci, planning to have You Xinci advance first.
He currently had 146 zombie worms, still far from advancing to level two.
Before level four, evolved individuals needed 100 worm crystals of the same level or 1000 crystals of a lower level for each advancement.
Zombie worms and worm crystals had the same effect.
Wang Yu planned to clear the boys’ dormitory from top to bottom first.
This boys’ dormitory had four buildings, each with six floors.
There were connecting corridors between each building, allowing Wang Yu to cross from the sixth floor of Building D, where he was, to the sixth floor of Building C.
When clearing the zombies onto the open ground, a melee was inevitable.
To be safe, it was better to have You Xinci advance first.
All surviving humans could become evolved individuals, but only a small portion would awaken special abilities at level four.
These people were the lucky ones of the apocalypse and the backbone of human survivors.
