“What do we have that would be worth the risk of stealing?” Lin Mancha asked dismissively. “We’re almost out of food. We still have plenty of bottled water, but if he wants some, we can simply trade it for food.”
“You’re fucking naive!” Zhuang Qiang spat. “He can go anywhere he wants on campus. How could he possibly lack food or water? The convenience store beside the athletic field alone could feed him for half a year!”
His expression turned vicious.
“He must be after the women here! He came to take whichever ones catch his eye. Haven’t you noticed? Everyone he has brought into that city has been a woman. Not a single man!”
His words immediately put everyone on guard. Their gazes toward Xiao Yi became increasingly complicated.
“ROAR!”
A thunderous bellow suddenly erupted from the stairwell connecting the third-floor corridor to the roof.
The entire building seemed to tremble.
The hulking zombie had appeared!
It carried half of another zombie’s corpse in one hand and seemed to be chewing something. Great streams of filthy blood poured from its mouth.
Compared with the last time Xiao Yi had seen it, the creature appeared even larger and stronger.
He frowned slightly. The hulking zombie was actually devouring other zombies!
“There’s no need to keep guessing what he wants,” Shen Jiabin said with malicious delight. “He’s dead now! Even all of us together couldn’t defeat that monster. A level-ten cripple like him doesn’t stand a chance!”
“Shouldn’t we help him? Maybe he really did come to rescue us.” Lin Mancha turned her face away, unable to bear watching what she believed would happen next.
She remembered the sight of one of their companions being eaten by the hulking zombie.
Her kind heart could not endure witnessing it again.
“Help him? Why should we?” a man who had opposed leaving the roof from the beginning demanded fearfully. “He has nothing to do with us! Even if he came here out of kindness, only an idiot would deliberately provoke that monster. He’s asking to die! Besides, it’s so powerful that even if all of us went down, we still couldn’t beat it. We’d only be throwing away our lives!”
“Xiaodong is right,” Gu Fanghua said coldly. “That fool chose this himself. If he dies, he deserves it.”
Zhuang Qiang’s earlier words had unsettled him.
There were only three women in their group, and his goddess, Tang Jingyan, was the most beautiful of them all.
He had every reason to fear that Xiao Yi had come to steal her.
Gu Fanghua could not tolerate anyone who threatened his goddess.
At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to watch Xiao Yi die.
“Hey! Be careful!” Tang Jingyan shouted when she saw Xiao Yi slowly approaching the hulking zombie. “That monster is incredibly strong! Run!”
As everyone assumed his death was certain, Xiao Yi raised his long-handled Mo blade and charged directly at the roaring creature.
“Fucking moron!”
“That idiot overestimates himself! Does he really think he can kill that monster?”
“He’s courting death! If he dies, it serves him right!”
“How can he be so stupid? Does he have a death wish?”
Shen Jiabin and the others could not stop themselves from cursing as Xiao Yi charged.
The next instant, every voice fell silent.
Sunlight flashed coldly across the Mo blade.
Then one of the hulking zombie’s arms crashed to the floor.
A torrent of black-purple blood sprayed across the windows lining the corridor.
Xiao Yi had severed the creature’s arm in their very first exchange!
Everyone on the roof, Shen Jiabin included, stared in stunned disbelief.
None of them had expected the hulking zombie to appear so helpless before him.
It released an enraged howl, seized another zombie with its remaining arm, and hurled itself at Xiao Yi once more.
The hearts of the rooftop survivors pounded. They rose onto their toes and stared fixedly at the next clash.
Xiao Yi merely pivoted.
The blade flashed a second time.
This time, the hulking zombie’s head struck the floor.
Everyone above stood frozen, mouths hanging open as they watched Xiao Yi dispatch the monster with ridiculous ease.
They could not understand how someone who looked so unimpressive could kill such a terrifying creature with two effortless slashes.
Xiao Yi calmly approached the corpse and stored it inside his Spatial Pouch.
This hulking zombie was clearly far more developed than the one he had killed previously. Both its size and strength vastly exceeded those of its predecessor.
The attribute points and Apocalypse Coins it produced after burial should likewise be considerably greater.
His main objective accomplished, Xiao Yi stored the corpse with satisfaction and glanced up at Shen Jiabin’s group. Then he climbed back onto the drainage pipe, pushed off powerfully, and landed on the gymnasium’s rooftop terrace.
