Wang Yu had Chen Youting gather everyone.
He found that an entire dorm room was occupied by people lying on their beds groaning, each clutching their stomachs.
The others were too terrified to approach, some even holding weapons for defense, fearing they were about to reanimate as zombies.
It turned out that before the apocalypse, someone in that dorm had stored a barrel of water. Last night, a few of them, feeling thirsty, each drank several large gulps.
Although everyone had been issued a bottle of water yesterday, it was meant to last for two days.
Male dormitories had some food, but very little bottled water.
Generally, people would either get water from the drinking fountain in the dorm hallway or drink beverages.
Few people bought bottled water.
Occasionally, there would be large bottles of water or 18.9-liter water dispensers.
The bottled water distributed yesterday was, in some cases, poured from water dispensers into empty bottles.
Wang Yu entered the dorm to check on them.
"Nothing serious, they'll be fine after a couple of days of pain."
"Tell everyone else that water exposed to the air cannot be drunk. It can be used for washing, but not for consumption, otherwise, they'll end up with stomach pain like these fellows."
Chen Youting nodded and relayed the message to the others.
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, glad it wasn't reanimation.
Water exposed to the air contained egg larvae. Survivors would only experience a few days of stomach pain if they drank a little.
Drinking too much would be fatal.
They could either be poisoned to death or turn into zombies.
However, no one was foolish enough to keep drinking it after experiencing stomach pain.
Wang Yu led the group to clear the remaining parts of the third and second floors that they hadn't finished clearing yesterday.
During this process, Lin Tianxiang, after the initial nervousness and fear shared by everyone else, seemed dispirited for the rest of the time.
Especially after witnessing Wang Yu's skills, he became even more dejected.
He had spent the entire night thinking but couldn't come up with a way to eliminate Wang Yu without a trace.
Unless Wang Yu met with an accident while killing zombies.
But that was obviously unlikely; zombies were like kindergarten children in front of Wang Yu.
He could take down a large group with ease.
Wang Yu would indeed not encounter any accidents, but Lin Tianxiang was about to.
After clearing the second floor of Building C,
The group returned to the sixth floor, traversed the corridor, and arrived at the sixth floor of Building B.
Wang Yu first cleared the corridor and then released some zombies from the dorm rooms for everyone to practice on.
Wang Yu controlled the number of zombies released very well, never more than three at a time.
Naturally, some people were willing to kill zombies, while others were not.
Wang Yu didn't force anyone; those unwilling could find a place to stay.
Of course, they wouldn't be provided with food.
These people were immediately angered. The food was obtained through everyone's collective efforts; why should Wang Yu monopolize it?
However, due to Wang Yu's strength, they could only swallow their anger and left in groups.
Chen Youting observed their expressions and shook his head.
The food was indeed obtained through everyone's collective efforts.
But they were only responsible for the collection; killing zombies and breaking down doors were basically all Wang Yu's achievements.
The food should be distributed to those willing to fight zombies, so it wouldn't be given to them.
At the same time, he understood Wang Yu's intention.
Regardless of whether rescue would arrive, practicing how to kill zombies was very necessary.
If rescue took a long time, would everyone just hide in their dorms and starve to death?
Food was manageable; eating one or two fewer meals a day was fine.
But the water problem was urgent.
In such a situation, no one wanted to drink poisoned water and lie in bed in pain for days.
Everyone took turns, with six people going out each time.
This was equivalent to two to three people dealing with one zombie.
Wang Yu watched from the side, showing no intention of intervening.
He had to let these people overcome their fear of zombies.
With so many people watching nearby, it already helped alleviate some of their fear.
If Wang Yu continued to protect them, this practice would be ineffective.
Apart from one person getting scratched at the very beginning, the rest of the people completed the task without injury.
This unlucky person who got injured would not turn into a zombie, but he would die from the zombie virus.
Wang Yu couldn't save him.
He called a few people to tie him up and casually threw him into a dorm room.
"I hope he can make it through."
In his previous life, Wang Yu had heard news that some people, after being infected with the zombie virus, not only didn't die but became Tier 1 evolvers.
However, he had never witnessed such a situation, and he figured that even if it were true, the probability would be extremely, extremely small.
When it was Lin Tianxiang's turn, he finally mustered some spirit.
Regardless of anything else, he had to survive first.
If he performed well, perhaps You Xinci would pay more attention to him.
This time, there were three zombies. Lin Tianxiang and Li Feng dealt with one, while the other four dealt with the remaining two.
As Lin Tianxiang and his companion fought the zombie, Wang Yu constantly observed the situation on the field.
Lin Tianxiang let out a low growl and slashed at the zombie's neck with his saber, but the angle was wrong, and the force was insufficient.
He didn't sever the zombie's neck, only leaving a deep gash.
Suddenly, Wang Yu's palm moved slightly.
A drop of blood splattered from the zombie's neck flew rapidly in a strange arc into Lin Tianxiang's mouth.
In such a chaotic scene, a single drop of blood was truly insignificant.
Many people had traces of zombie blood on their bodies.
Lin Tianxiang felt something enter his mouth, carrying a faint stench.
He quickly spat.
It turned out to be a trace of darkish blood?
His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
At this moment, Wang Yu swung his sword, beheading the zombie, and his cold voice echoed leisurely.
"A zombie's blood splashed into his mouth."
The watching crowd followed Wang Yu's gaze and saw Lin Tianxiang frozen on the spot, his body seemingly trembling slightly.
He quickly retorted, simultaneously placing his cleaver horizontally across his chest.
"No, I didn't! I accidentally bit my tongue during the fight!"
At this point, even Li Feng distanced himself from Lin Tianxiang, fearing accidental injury.
A man on the verge of death was no longer worth following; it was best to stay as far away as possible.
Wang Yu had seen too many instances of abandoning teammates like this.
This sort of thing happened almost daily in the apocalypse.
Even brothers and loving couples were not immune to abandoning each other for survival.
Wang Yu waved his hand, "You few, go tie him up. We'll know if he's infected with the zombie virus in a while."
Several people surrounded Lin Tianxiang, holding their weapons defensively, while speaking to break down his psychological defenses.
"Brother, Brother Wang said only being bitten by a zombie will turn you into one. You don't need to be so scared; you just need to stay alone for a while, and it will be over soon."
Lin Tianxiang held his cleaver horizontally in front of him, constantly turning, his face contorted, appearing somewhat manic.
"Don't come near me! I said I didn't, and I didn't!"
"If you come any closer, I won't be polite!"
At this moment, the fear of death consumed Lin Tianxiang's heart. The unlucky fellow who had been infected with the zombie virus earlier had already died.
The zombie virus was potent; typically, no one could last more than ten minutes.
Unless they were fortunate enough to become an evolver, death was inevitable.
Seeing that the crowd was unwilling to retreat and seemed determined to subdue him,
Lin Tianxiang gritted his teeth and directly swung his saber at one person, breaking out towards the less crowded direction.
That person had not expected Lin Tianxiang to still attempt an escape at this point. Unable to dodge in time, his arm was hit.
A piece of flesh was instantly severed, and blood flowed profusely.
The person cried out in pain and quickly retreated to the side.
The other few were stunned by Lin Tianxiang's ferocity.
They had all killed zombies earlier, but they hadn't yet fought against humans.
Lin Tianxiang's eyes lit up, and he quickly seized the opportunity to break out, turning back to look at the crowd as he ran.
Especially when he looked at Wang Yu, his gaze was filled with such hatred that he seemed capable of devouring him alive!
Wang Yu's lips curved into a playful smile as he twirled a throwing knife in his hand.
What does it matter if you run tens of meters ahead of me?
*Whoosh!*
As Lin Tianxiang ran, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his chest.
His steps involuntarily stopped.
He looked down and saw a small section of a blade tip penetrating his left chest, piercing his heart.
He slowly turned, casting one last look at Wang Yu.
Then, his body fell backward...
