Chapter 11: Save them? Not a chance!
Xiao Yi frowned slightly, looking off toward the source of the light.
He saw a group of students gathered at a window, waving at him from afar.
Above their heads, they were holding up a large sign that read 'SOS'.
Thanks to his enhanced physique, Xiao Yi's vision was now excellent. From a distance, he could see there were several students inside the window, both male and female. The men were all wearing basketball uniforms, while the women were dressed in sexy yoga attire or dance skirts.
When the apocalypse broke out, these people must have been working out in the gymnasium.
"Not bad figures and looks, but the kind of guys I hate most are these muscle-flexing, basketball-playing show-offs. And on top of that, these bastards are actually so handsome!" Xiao Yi muttered a curse under his breath before turning away, showing no intention of paying them any mind.
"Weren't you all so high and mighty before? Showing off your muscles and acting cool with a basketball every day. And now you're asking a shut-in like me for help? Go save yourselves!" Xiao Yi sneered, gave them the middle finger, and walked straight down from the city wall.
The path from here to the gymnasium was swarming with zombies. With his current strength, Xiao Yi wasn't sure he could fight his way through. He wasn't foolish enough to risk his life for a few strangers.
Even though there were a few good-looking women among them, they didn't pique his interest in the slightest.
Perhaps when his power was great enough to break through the layers of zombie encirclement, he might consider taking the risk. As for now, Xiao Yi still found Li Wanning and Shen Tingting much more to his liking. He couldn't handle saving too many servants at once.
"Shen Tingting, you stay here and keep watch. Li Wanning, come with me to the lounge!" Xiao Yi walked down from the wall, beckoned to Li Wanning, and strode into the lounge.
Li Wanning's face flushed red, and she obediently quickened her pace to follow him.
After several days of shameless comfort, Xiao Yi's routine consisted of killing zombies outside and being served in turn by the two beauties. Strangely, he discovered that as his physique slowly strengthened, his abilities in a certain area were also constantly improving. Now, even if the two of them took turns, they could barely keep up with him.
"The time is about right. It seems I should go and bring Ling Xueya and Tang Ningning over!" Xiao Yi said, lying comfortably on a rattan chair, basking in the sun while letting Shen Tingting massage his legs with a pout.
Meanwhile, Li Wanning was busy burying corpses. During this time, Xiao Yi had built two more graves. With four graves operating simultaneously, his attribute values and Doomsday Coins were increasing very rapidly.
"System! Show my attributes!"
[City of Sin (Beginner) Lord's Name: Xiao Yi]
[Gender: Male]
[Physique: 80]
[Spirit: 65]
[Strength: 80]
[Endurance: 80]
[Agility: 80]
(The average for an adult male human is 60)
[Skills: None]
[Items: Blade of Sin (Beginner), Spatial Pouch (Beginner)]
[Doomsday Coins: 458]
"My physical attributes are already at the level of a national first-class athlete!" Xiao Yi stood up and swung his Mo Dao a few times.
Wielding the Mo Dao no longer felt strenuous now. On the contrary, the heavy blade felt perfectly natural in his hands.
"Ding! Zombie corpse burial complete!"
"Gain 8 Doomsday Coins."
"Beginner Grave is empty. Please bury another corpse."
Hearing the system's notification, Xiao Yi couldn't help but frown slightly. Starting yesterday, burying ordinary zombie corpses only increased his Doomsday Coins, but no longer his attribute values.
According to Xiao Yi's calculations, beginner zombies could only raise his various attributes to 80, which was the limit. Zombies that could enhance his Spirit were extremely rare, so it remained at 65.
As his physical attributes grew stronger, ordinary zombies could no longer provide him with attribute enhancements. He had to find more powerful zombie corpses to bury!
"Master! Look! Someone is fighting zombies over at the gymnasium!" Shen Tingting shouted excitedly, pointing at the gymnasium in the distance.
Xiao Yi was slightly startled. He looked up toward the gymnasium and saw it was indeed the same group of people who had called for help last time. There were five men and three women, each holding a rod-like weapon and wearing baseball uniforms. They were fighting their way out with planned coordination.
The man leading them was exceptionally brave. With the cooperation of the other four, he quickly opened a path in the corridor.
The group had originally intended to go downstairs, but seeing the dense horde of zombies below, they were forced to retreat upstairs instead.
As they fought and retreated, they even managed to carry some supplies with them.
"These people are quite fierce! Master, shouldn't we go save them? They look very capable. You could save them and have them as your helpers. That way, you'll have someone to watch your back when you go out in the future," Li Wanning kindly suggested.
Save them?
What a foolish woman.
Although Xiao Yi was certain that with his current abilities, he could save these people, why should he?
He wasn't a saint, nor was he the Bodhisattva Guanyin. He had no obligation to save the world.
