Wang Yu wasn't worried at all about Shen Li having the long sword and having any wicked ideas.
He judged people fairly well, and Shen Li was someone who knew how to assess the situation and act accordingly.
After witnessing Wang Yu's superpower, even with a sword in his hand, he wouldn't dare to resist.
Wang Yu walked up to Su Wan'er and said to the other two women, "You two go to the next room. I need to talk to Wan'er about something."
Zhao Ling glanced at them, took out her flashlight, and turned away.
Chen Sisi's gaze swept over them, and she finally snorted and left.
"What can't be said in front of us? You two haven't known each other that long."
"Wan'er is my best friend too!"
After the two girls left, Shen Li came out, took a look, and then hurried out as well, closing the door behind him.
Now, only Wang Yu and Su Wan'er remained in the hotel room.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became intimate.
Su Wan'er also felt the atmosphere becoming increasingly unusual, and her heart pounded like a scared deer.
Finally, Wang Yu broke the awkward silence.
Of course, he didn't feel awkward at all, as he had intentionally created this atmosphere.
Wang Yu took out a translucent crystal core and handed it to Su Wan'er.
"Take this. After consuming this crystal core, you will become an Evolver."
"Evolver?"
Su Wan'er's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and confusion. She swore she had never heard of "Evolver" before.
"Zombies evolve, and humans can too. You'll understand this later,"
Wang Yu explained slowly, "Actually, I'm an Evolver, but I'm special and already possess superpowers. You can also become Evolvers, you just won't have superpowers for now."
Su Wan'er nodded, understanding but not fully grasping.
Wang Yu taught her to sit cross-legged to absorb the crystal core, as it would facilitate faster energy absorption.
This crystal core was from the mutant who had attacked them on the road.
Mutant crystal cores were more suitable for human absorption compared to zombie insect crystals.
At the same level, one mutant crystal core was equivalent to ten insect crystals in terms of efficacy.
Su Wan'er was currently a normal human, and this crystal core was Level 1.
Therefore, her consuming this one was equivalent to eating ten Level 1 insect crystals!
Before Level 4, humans needed 100 same-level insect crystals, 10 higher-level ones, or 1000 lower-level ones to evolve once.
Absorbing two levels higher would cause them to explode and die.
Two levels lower would also be unabsorbable and have no effect.
After Level 4, not only humans could awaken superpowers, but zombies could too; their lives were equivalent to breaking through to a new level.
Therefore, the number of insect crystals required for evolution was only 10 of the same level, or 1 of a higher level.
Lower-level ones, being Level 3 insect crystals, were useless.
Of course, Level 4 insect crystals were still useful to Level 5 Evolvers.
Time passed quickly as she contemplated.
The mutant's crystal core was indeed more suitable for human absorption. In just over ten minutes, Su Wan'er opened her eyes.
A glint flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she appeared more confident and captivating.
This was also normal.
Anyone who gained power would become more confident.
The degree of confidence varied; some became arrogant from excessive confidence.
"How do you feel?"
Su Wan'er raised her delicate hands and clenched them into fists.
"Is this the power of an Evolver..."
She looked up at Wang Yu, her large, watery eyes filled with gratitude and tenderness, as if they could melt him.
*Poof!*
She threw herself into Wang Yu's arms again, allowing him to embrace her fully.
And this time, her embrace was stronger, so Wang Yu felt the pressure on his chest even more significantly than before.
He also wrapped his arms around Su Wan'er's slender waist, not holding back at all.
As the saying goes, he who doesn't take advantage when it's offered is a fool.
As they embraced, Wang Yu noticed something peculiar.
Logically, Su Wan'er should have had some odor after not washing for three to four days.
But as they held each other so closely, he couldn't smell any unpleasant scent.
It was truly strange...
However, he remembered the fresh, natural fragrance he had smelled when he first met Su Wan'er, and he understood the reason.
After hugging for a while, Wang Yu released her and said softly, "Go call Shen Li in. You wait outside for a moment."
"Mhm..." Su Wan'er blushed, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.
It was the first time a man had touched her waist.
Shen Li, holding the long sword with both hands, respectfully approached Wang Yu.
He still wore a fawning smile and said, "Mr. Wang, your sword has been cleaned."
Having been outside for so long, it was easy to find out Wang Yu's name.
Wang Yu did not take the sword, leaving Shen Li holding his arm like that.
After a moment, he said coldly, "My two friends were staying peacefully in the room, but you forcibly entered and tied them up. How do you think I should deal with you?"
As soon as he said this, Shen Li, who was already anxious, felt his heart lurch. The hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble slightly.
What did he mean by this?
Was he still going to punish me?
Fine sweat beaded on Shen Li's forehead, and he felt the surrounding temperature drop several degrees.
Especially Wang Yu's gaze, which was as sharp as a sword, making it impossible to look directly at him.
Shen Li's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed.
He shouldn't... be planning to kill me... No, he probably wouldn't, or he wouldn't have spared me before.
Shen Li forced himself to calm down and began to try and fathom Wang Yu's intentions.
After a few seconds, he raised the sword in his hands higher and said respectfully, "I will do whatever you say, sir. Although I am not of much use, as long as you need me, I will do whatever you ask, I will be absolutely obedient and will never betray you!"
This was the tactic he had come up with after some thought; it wasn't that difficult.
It was simply a matter of demeaning himself and pledging loyalty, just like in the movies.
Wang Yu didn't respond, but a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
He had called Shen Li in simply to keep him in check and make him obedient.
This was because Wang Yu felt that Shen Li was indeed a capable individual.
He was good at reading people and could resist temptation, not necessarily destined for great things.
But at the very least, he was suitable to be a subordinate.
"This sword is for you. Also, I have a task for you; I need to leave for a few days."
"But don't worry, although there are still a few zombies upstairs and in some rooms, this won't be difficult for Su Wan'er; she will handle them."
"Your main task is to assist her in managing the survivors, ensuring these people obey. Can you do that?"
Shen Li nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"
"I guarantee they will be obedient, more obedient than waiters!"
What difficulty was there in this? This was precisely his specialty.
Although among these survivors, there were definitely some who had held higher social status than him before, but as he had said before:
Times have changed!
He now had a sword in his hand, and judging by Wang Yu's words, Su Wan'er could now handle several zombies at once.
So, why worry? Making them more obedient than waiters was not a difficult task at all.
"Good. Once you've done well, I will make you an Evolver too. You can go out now."
Evolver?
Shen Li felt a pang of confusion, but seeing Wang Yu's uncommunicative demeanor, he didn't ask further.
Many influential figures were like this; you do as you're told and don't ask too many questions.
What you're meant to know, you will naturally learn, this was Shen Li's extensive workplace experience.
After bowing respectfully, he quickly exited the room.
Upon emerging, he realized that his shirt was soaked with sweat!
Facing Wang Yu directly was truly pressure-inducing; it was an indescribable feeling.
He hadn't experienced anything like it before. If he had to describe it...
It was as if his life and death were in the other person's hands!
It was absurd, but that's how it felt.
After Shen Li left, he expected all three women to enter.
To his surprise, only Chen Sisi walked in, and she closed the door behind her.
