Xiao Yi recognized this zombie as well. It had once been the captain of the school fitness club, a student who loved weight training and had always possessed a huge frame and tremendous strength.
After turning into a zombie, however, it had become even larger and more muscular. It seemed to possess inexhaustible strength.
“Can people with unusual physiques become even stronger after turning into zombies?” Xiao Yi wondered, shocked by the possibility.
He had no time to think about it. More zombies were gathering from every direction. He had to get back inside the city immediately.
After securing the Spatial Pouch, Xiao Yi gripped the Blade of Sin and charged toward the gate.
He cut down two zombies blocking his way and finally reached the entrance.
The hulking zombie noticed him. Its milky-white, bloodshot eyes locked onto Xiao Yi, and it unleashed a deafening roar before charging.
SCREECH! ROAR!
It was significantly faster than an ordinary zombie!
It was also far stronger!
Facing this powerful enemy, Xiao Yi remained calm. He slid his left leg back and gripped his weapon with both hands.
He needed to seize the right moment.
The perfect moment to deliver a fatal strike!
Five meters...
Three meters...
One meter...
Now!
“HAAAH!”
Xiao Yi roared and brought his blade down on the hulking zombie with all his strength.
Black blood sprayed through the air as its severed head struck the ground.
The headless body continued forward under its own momentum and slammed straight into Xiao Yi.
The impact sent him flying. He tumbled backward across the grass.
Hrrrgh... Hrrrgh...
Uhhh... Urrrgh...
The zombies around him were drawing closer.
More and more of them were slowly converging on his position!
Xiao Yi bit his lip hard, using the pain to clear some of the dizziness from his mind. He rolled over and stored the hulking zombie’s corpse in his Spatial Pouch.
“Open the gate!”
He cut down several more zombies that had caught up with him. There was no time to collect their corpses. Xiao Yi darted through the entrance just before the gate swung shut.
Watching the heavy gate close, Xiao Yi felt a lingering chill.
If there had been more zombies like that hulking one, he might have died out there with his current strength.
He was still far too weak!
Xiao Yi pulled a bottle of beer from his Spatial Pouch and gulped down several mouthfuls.
Only after panting for a while did he finally calm down.
“That zombie was different. I wonder if its corpse will produce a different result.”
Xiao Yi glanced at the headless body lying nearby. Ignoring the hunger gnawing at his stomach, he threw it into the Tomb.
【Corpse Burial in Progress...】
【Estimated Time Remaining: 2 Hours】
Huh?
It required twice as long as an ordinary zombie.
So there really was something different about it!
Hopefully, it would reward him with more attribute points and Apocalypse Coins as well.
Xiao Yi rested against the stone marker for a while. Then he emptied all the food and drinks from his Spatial Pouch.
The barren ground was instantly covered in snacks and beverages.
Alongside them, of course, lay three eerie headless corpses.
Xiao Yi casually selected a bag of beef jerky and a can of Red Bull, then wolfed them down.
Countless people were suffering from hunger and thirst in this apocalypse, yet he could indulge in as much food and water as he wanted.
Chocolate, beef sticks, pickled chicken feet, Snickers bars, potato chips, ham sausages, Red Bull, Wanglaoji herbal tea, bottled water...
The store had everything, including all the snacks he had once been reluctant to spend money on.
This was a kind of pleasure too, was it not?
Xiao Yi let out a satisfied burp. Basking in the sunlight with a full stomach, he began to feel pleasantly lazy.
This life was rather comfortable, but he could not shake the feeling that something was missing.
Now that he was warm and full, was it only natural for his thoughts to turn to sex?
Xiao Yi thought of the goddess he had secretly loved for three years. He wondered whether she had survived.
Perhaps he should go look for her.
Perhaps she was still alive.
Perhaps he could rescue her and bring her here to live with him.
No. Perhaps they would not exactly be living together.
He would make her his slave!
Things were different now. He no longer had to admire her from afar.
If she was still alive, she was no longer an untouchable goddess standing high above him.
She was merely a helpless girl struggling to survive the apocalypse!
Grades, money, status...
All of it was completely fucking worthless at the end of the world!
He had food, water, a secure home, and a powerful body. In this apocalypse, those were the only things that mattered.
Just as Xiao Yi was beginning to doze off, a cry rang out from a nearby girls’ dormitory.
“Hey! You over there! Can you come save us?”
The clear voice of a girl drifted toward him. It was faint, but it still caught Xiao Yi’s attention.
He raised his head and looked toward the girls’ dormitory.
Two girls with long, flowing hair were waving at him from a third-floor window.
Should he save them or not?
Xiao Yi stood and carefully studied the two girls calling for help.
With his improved Constitution enhancing his eyesight, he could make out their general appearance with ease.
They were fairly attractive...
Before the apocalypse, they probably would not even have spared him a glance.
Perhaps he could consider rescuing them and bringing them into his City of Sin.
A wicked smile slowly curved across Xiao Yi’s lips...
