The sudden shout stunned Shen Yue and the other two.

The three looked at Chen Han warily, subconsciously stepping back a few paces.

Especially Shen Yue, who tightened her grip on her long blade, looking ready to fight desperately.Full novel: When the Apocalypse Begins, I’ll Amass a Fortune — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

She knew that in the apocalypse, beautiful women were always coveted.

And the three of them were young and beautiful—being targeted was only natural.

Although the young man before them was also young and extremely handsome, that was no reason to give up resisting!

“What more do you want?

We already gave you the airdrop.” Shen Yue shouted nervously.

Seeing their expressions, Chen Han couldn’t help feeling amused.

What kind of look was that—were they treating him like a pervert?

“Relax, I’m not interested in you.” Chen Han spread his hands, putting on an innocent expression.

Then he pointed at the airdrop on the ground.

“There’s some food inside, and three [Class Cards].

You can take them.”

In the previous life, Chen Han and Shen Yue’s group had cooperated pleasantly—not friends, but acquaintances at least.

Now that he had stolen their airdrop, Chen Han felt a little embarrassed.

If he took everything, it would be hard for them to survive.

He meant nothing else—just offering a small kindness.

Hearing this, the three girls froze, all showing surprise.

“Give them to us?” Shen Yue stared at the Class Cards inside, fully aware of their value.

They had all played [Doomsday Dawn], but as zero-spending players, awakening a profession was impossible.

But with these [Class Cards], they might actually survive.

“Thank you!” Shen Yue bowed immediately, then hurried with the sisters to collect the items.

Chen Han turned to leave but reminded them: “Hurry and go.

If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late.”

After the game descended, his physical attributes had increased significantly—his sight and hearing far exceeded normal humans.

He could already hear footsteps in the stairwell—players coming to seize the airdrop.

Seeing Chen Han about to leave, Shen Yue’s eyes flashed with determination.

“Can we follow you?”

Shen Yue knew the youth before her was powerful—following him meant survival.

And if he made unreasonable demands, they could only accept it.

At least for now, he seemed like a good person.

The Xia sisters understood Shen Yue’s intention and looked at Chen Han with hopeful eyes.

Chen Han smiled.

“Sorry, I can’t help you.”

Bring strangers along?

He wasn’t that stupid.

In the apocalypse, unless someone earned his trust, he wouldn’t casually form a team.

He had suffered enough from betrayal.

After being rejected, all three girls looked visibly disappointed.

“Then add us as friends.

Maybe we’ll meet again.” Shen Yue said.

Chen Han didn’t refuse.

After adding each other as friends, Chen Han left.

But after seeing his ID, Shen Yue froze.

“It’s him!”

“Who?

You know him?” the Xia sisters asked curiously.

Shen Yue took a deep breath.

“You both know him.

The recent rising star—Suit Thug!”

“What?”

“It’s actually him!”

The sisters covered their mouths in shock—who wouldn’t recognize a whale spending over ten billion?

“Let’s go.

Live well.

We’ll repay him someday.”

With that, Shen Yue engraved Chen Han’s image in her heart and left with the sisters.

…

Chen Han walked downstairs, Tang sword in hand, killing zombies on sight.

After killing more than a dozen zombies, he had already reached level 5.

With the boost from his equipment, these level 1 zombies posed no threat at all.

But the number of zombies had noticeably increased, and most of the ones he killed dropped no food.

Meaning—they were Second-Generation Zombies, infected by First-Generation ones.

The speed of the zombie outbreak was even faster than Chen Han expected.

He had achieved his purpose at the Buckingham Hotel—now he had to rush home.

He was worried Ling Xue and Gangzi at home couldn’t handle the zombies.

Although he’d left them a set of purple newbie gear, which theoretically should keep them safe…

Accidents always happen.

He wouldn’t risk the lives of the only people he trusted.

More importantly, his large actions before the apocalypse would definitely draw attention—from individuals or even the government.

His identity might already have been investigated thoroughly.

After all, many people knew his ID.

He had no choice but to stay cautious.

Returning to the hotel restaurant, he prepared to take the elevator.

But as soon as he opened the elevator door, a horde of zombies rushed out.

Even with his quick reflexes, Chen Han was startled.

With no other choice, Chen Han held the Tang sword in his right hand and the crossbow in his left, fighting amidst the zombie swarm.

This scene stunned the survivors who were fleeing.

Chen Han’s figure was like a savior—tall, mighty, unstoppable.

“Bro!

Help!

Ahhh!”

A survivor tried to run toward him for protection, but a massive horde burst out of the emergency exit, instantly mauling the survivors—blood everywhere.

Chen Han remained expressionless—he was long numb to such sights.

After clearing the surrounding zombies, he stepped into the elevator and examined his equipment.

He found his orange protective suit had lost 10 points of defense—painful damage.

That was orange gear—once damaged, it was gone.

I can’t let zombies get too close anymore.”

Although the journey had complications, Chen Han safely reached the underground parking lot.

As soon as he entered the car, his phone rang.

[Xiao Rou requests a video call.]

Chen Han smirked—he hadn’t forgotten the gold-digger.

He accepted the call, and his face appeared on Xiao Rou’s screen.

In her hotel room, Xiao Rou hid in the bathroom trembling, surrounded by zombie roars—she didn’t even dare breathe loudly.

When the video connected, her face lit up with joy.

‘He didn’t forget me!’

‘He’s here to pick me up!’

“Chen Han, where are you?

Hurry, there are so many zombies outside the room!”

Xiao Rou whispered anxiously.

Chen Han chuckled in the video.

“I know there are many zombies.

I’m getting ready to head home now.”

Her smile instantly froze.

“Home?

Aren’t you coming to get me?”

“I did come.

I’m in the Buckingham parking lot right now, but there are too many zombies upstairs, so I’m not going up.”

“What?

You’re not coming?” Xiao Rou’s eyes widened.

“What am I supposed to do?”

“Don’t worry, the government should send troops soon.

I’ll go call for help for you!” Chen Han said, barely suppressing his laughter.

“No!

I can’t wait that long—you need to come save me now!” Xiao Rou panicked.

Wait for rescue?

Who knew how long that would take?

“Anyway, I’m hungry.

I need to go home and eat.” Chen Han hung up and drove off laughing joyfully.

Xiao Rou was dumbfounded.

“You’re hungry?

Am I not hungry too?”

“What am I supposed to do now?”

“Right, there’s food in the game!”

At last, she remembered the game.

She opened the virtual panel—only to find her backpack empty.

She’d forgotten her items were robbed the last time she logged in.

“Luckily, I still stored a lot of supplies in my Dawn Tower.” Xiao Rou felt relieved she had a hoarding habit.

So she opened the special panel for the Dawn Tower storage room.

Once opened, the familiar small room appeared.

But the sight before her made her completely collapse!
