Chapter 5: The Beauty Seeking Help in the Girls' Dormitory
Xiao Yi recognized this zombie. It was the captain of the school's fitness club, a man who loved working out and weightlifting, with a burly frame and immense strength.
But after turning into a zombie, its physique had become even more burly and powerful, as if it possessed inexhaustible strength.
"Could it be that those with special constitutions get enhanced after turning into zombies?" Xiao Yi wondered, unable to help but feel a sense of shock.
But there was no time for more thought. The surrounding zombies were gathering, and he had to get back into the city immediately!
Securing his spatial bag, Xiao Yi gripped the Blade of Sin and charged toward the city gate.
After cutting down two blocking zombies in succession, Xiao Yi finally managed to reach the city gate.
At that moment, the burly zombie also noticed Xiao Yi. Its bloodshot, white eyes stared directly at him, and then it let out a roar and charged forward.
Hiss!! Roar!!!!
This zombie's speed was clearly much faster than that of an ordinary one!
And in terms of strength, it was far superior!
Facing such a powerful foe, Xiao Yi wasn't nervous in the slightest. Instead, he took a step back with his left leg, gripping his greatsword tightly.
He had to wait for the right moment!
The perfect moment to strike a fatal blow!
Five meters...
Three meters...
One meter...
Now!
Hah!!!
Xiao Yi let out a low roar and viciously slashed down at the burly zombie!
Black blood sprayed everywhere, and the burly zombie's head fell to the ground.
The headless body, however, continued on its momentum, crashing directly into Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi was sent flying backward by the headless corpse, tumbling onto the lawn.
Hss... hss...
Uh... ugh...
The surrounding zombies were growing more numerous and getting closer!
They were slowly converging on him!
Xiao Yi bit his lip hard, shaking off some of the dizziness, then rolled over and collected the burly zombie's corpse.
"Open the gate!" After cutting down a few more zombies that had caught up, Xiao Yi had no time to collect their bodies and dashed through the city gate.
Watching the city gate slowly close, Xiao Yi's heart was still pounding with fear.
If there had been just a few more zombies like that burly one, he would likely have been killed outside with his current strength!
It seemed he was still too weak!
Taking out a bottle of beer from his spatial bag, Xiao Yi took several large gulps.
After panting heavily for a moment, he finally calmed himself down.
"It was a different kind of zombie. I wonder if it will have a different effect!" Xiao Yi glanced at the headless corpse he had tossed aside and, fighting off the hunger in his stomach, threw the burly zombie's body into the burial pit.
[Corpse is being buried]
[Estimated time: 2 hours]
Hm?
The burial time was double that of a normal zombie!
So, there was a difference after all!
He hoped that the attribute points and apocalypse coins he'd receive would be greater as well!
Xiao Yi rested against the tombstone for a while, then emptied all the food and drinks from his spatial bag onto the open ground.
The open space was instantly covered with snacks and drinks.
Of course, there were also three rather eerie headless corpses.
Xiao Yi casually picked up a bag of beef jerky and a can of Red Bull, devouring them ravenously.
In this apocalypse, many people were suffering from hunger and thirst, while he could freely indulge in food and water.
Chocolate, beef sticks, pickled chicken feet, Snickers, potato chips, sausages, Red Bull, Wong Lo Kat, mineral water...
All these snacks he used to hesitate to buy were now available in abundance!
This was a kind of enjoyment in itself, wasn't it?
Xiao Yi let out a satisfying burp, basking in the sun, his whole body feeling languid.
This kind of life, while quite good, always made him feel like something was missing.
Was it what they say about a full belly leading to other thoughts?
Xiao Yi thought of the goddess he had secretly loved for three years. He wondered if she had survived.
Perhaps, he should go look for her?
Maybe she was still alive?
Maybe he could save her and have her live with him?
No! Perhaps not "live with him."
But to make her his slave!
Things were different now. He no longer needed to admire her from afar.
If she was still alive.
She was no longer a goddess, high and above him.
But just a young girl, struggling to survive in the apocalypse!
Grades, money, status...
In this apocalypse, all of that was worthless!
He had food, water, a safe shelter, and a strong body. That was everything in this apocalypse!
Just as Xiao Yi was dozing off, a cry for help came from a girls' dormitory in the distance...
"Hey! You over there! Can you come and save us?" A clear female voice called from afar. Though faint, it still caught Xiao Yi's attention.
Xiao Yi looked up toward the girls' dormitory.
At a window on the third floor, two girls with long flowing hair were waving at him.
To save, or not to save?
Xiao Yi stood up and took a closer look at the two girls calling for help.
His enhanced eyes allowed him to clearly see their general appearance.
They were quite good-looking...
In the old world, they probably wouldn't have even given him a second glance, would they?
Perhaps he could consider saving them and bringing them to his City of Sin.
A wicked arc formed on the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth...
