Chapter 25 The School Beauty as a Pillow, Dawn is Approaching

As Su Ze's words fell, the atmosphere in the Dormitory instantly froze solid.

The smiles on Yao Qingya and Liu Qiaofei's faces stiffened.

Jiang Yuwan, however, furrowed her brows, a trace of obvious irritation appearing on her cool, beautiful face.

"dog man!"

She cursed him silently in her heart.

Tying them up when going out to pick someone up was one thing,

but now, even for sleeping, he had to resort to this?!

The light in Yao Qingya's eyes dimmed. She gently bit her lower lip with her pearly white teeth, a wave of indescribable grievance and sadness welling up in her heart.

She had thought that after sharing hardships through this night, Su Ze would at least trust them a little more.

She never expected that, in his heart, they were still outsiders who needed constant vigilance.

Only Liu Qiaofei, after a brief moment of stunned silence, obediently nodded instead.

For her, being tied up was ten thousand times better than being thrown out to feed the zombies.

What's more, this Dormitory had a sturdy door, an automatically attacking turret, and mountains of piled-up food...

After experiencing the horror of being betrayed by a close friend, ruthlessly abandoned, and waiting for death in despair,

she felt an unparalleled sense of satisfaction and relief for everything she had now.

Ignoring the different expressions on the three women's faces, Su Ze spoke in a tone as calm and unruffled as still water:

"Perhaps you wouldn't have had any ideas before."

"But now, with this entire room full of supplies, it's enough to make anyone take desperate risks."

Having said that, without giving the three women any chance to argue, he deftly bound their wrists and ankles one by one.

The knots were cleverly tied, restrictive enough to limit their movements yet not so tight as to cause injury.

"Wake me at six, or call me if there's any trouble."

After finishing, Su Ze clapped his hands and prepared to lie down on the recently upgraded wooden bed to rest.

But the moment he lay down, he frowned.

Although the bed was upgraded and no longer creaked,

the bare wooden plank bed, without a mattress, blankets, or even a pillow, was uncomfortable and hard to lie on.

His gaze swept around the Dormitory and finally landed on Liu Qiaofei, who was bound hand and foot, leaning against the bedside.

Under the astonished gazes of Yao Qingya and Jiang Yuwan, Su Ze reached out, scooped Liu Qiaofei up onto the bed, and laid her down horizontally.

"Su... Senior Su Ze?"

Liu Qiaofei was startled, her whole body stiffening, unsure what he intended to do.

The next second, Su Ze lay down fully,

gently resting his head on her soft, flat stomach.

Hmm, just the right firmness, carrying the warmth and faint fragrance of a young woman—much more comfortable than the wooden plank.

"..."

Yao Qingya was completely dumbfounded,

a sour, inexplicable feeling rising in her heart.

Jiang Yuwan, on the other hand, rolled her eyes.

This dog man!

When it came to using people, he really didn't hold back!

As for Liu Qiaofei, her pure and lovely face instantly flushed crimson, as if about to drip blood.

She could clearly feel the weight of Su Ze's head resting on her stomach and the warmth of his breath...

"Don't move."

Su Ze mumbled with his eyes closed, his words unclear.

Having been on the move all night, he was truly exhausted. Almost as soon as his head touched down, sleepiness washed over him like a tidal wave, and he quickly fell into a deep slumber.

Feeling his steady breathing, Liu Qiaofei slowly relaxed her tense body.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Su Ze's profile so close to her, her heart a tangled mess.

Embarrassment, nervousness, and a strange, indescribable feeling...

...

Time passed slowly. Only ten minutes remained until six o'clock.

Meanwhile, in Room 444 on the second floor.

Zou Min and Sun Lili leaned against the door, nibbling on the compressed biscuits they'd gotten from their three-star gift packs,

while listening with lingering fear to the occasional zombie roars from the corridor outside.

"Whew... we finally made it through." Sun Lili gulped down some water, her face full of relief at having survived a disaster.

"Yeah, a close call but safe."

Zou Min nodded, but her mind was completely elsewhere.

She opened the player channel,

looking at the chat logs still frantically scrolling about Su Ze's bowl of instant noodles, her eyes flashing with undisguised envy and jealousy.

Instant noodles, ham sausage, eggs, broccoli...

Things that were everywhere before the apocalypse had now become unreachable luxuries.

Looking at the dry, hard compressed biscuit in her hand, Zou Min felt a surge of resentment.

But then she thought of her "close friend" Liu Qiaofei.

"If Liu Qiaofei were still alive, with her looks, she might have managed to get close to Su Ze by now, enjoying good food and drink. What a pity..."

"Such a great campus belle, gone on the very first night."

Her tone carried a morbid sense of pleasure.

Since childhood, she had lived in Liu Qiaofei's shadow.

Wherever they went, Liu Qiaofei was the center of attention, boys going crazy for her, showering her with attention,

while she herself was always the overlooked, inconspicuous background character.

Now, the woman she had envied for so many years had likely become a cold corpse,

or even been disfigured by zombie bites.

Thinking of this, Zou Min suddenly felt balanced inside.

Even the compressed biscuit in her mouth seemed to taste much better.

...

Third floor, Dormitory 501.

"Dawn is finally almost here..." Wang Wei lay on the floor without a care for appearances.

Although exhaustion was etched on the faces of Li Xunming and his group of six, they also wore the joy of having survived a disaster.

"Everyone, quickly eat some bread to restore your Stamina. The moment it hits six, we go out to search for supplies." Li Xunming reminded them.

"Damn! Look at what they're saying in the public channel! That guy who only collects goddesses can actually eat instant noodles!" Suddenly, Liu Wenyong exclaimed.

"What? Let me see! Damn, it's true!! Damn it, I can't even get a sip of hot water, and he's eating instant noodles! And it's the deluxe version!" Chen Nanhao couldn't help but curse.

Gao Tian, his eyes red, said viciously, "This Su Ze guy must have so many supplies he can't use them all! Otherwise, he wouldn't dare trade them away!"

"And that turret! Attack power 20! That's gotta be cheating!"

"When day breaks, we have to figure out a way to take all his stuff!"

"And the women in his dorm! He publicly only takes beauties and is still recruiting, so there must be at least three or four great beauties in his dorm. I heard even Jiang Yuwan was taken by him—she's our school's most famous beautiful Counselor!"

"Right! Take them! Why should all the good things go to him alone!"

Zhang Feng and Wang Wei also chimed in, flames of jealousy burning fiercely in their hearts.

They had thought that their group of six, with their information advantage, had scavenged a wave of supplies and gotten many weapons, putting them ahead of everyone else.

But now, compared to Su Ze, they were like beggars on the roadside!

Li Xunming adjusted his glasses. He wasn't raging like the others,

but behind the lenses, his eyes flickered with an even colder calculation.

"No rush."

He held up three fingers.

"We have three targets now."

"First, the bastard who smashed our door and lured the zombies over! We used up almost all our Wood material to repair the door, even had to dismantle the bed. We must settle this score!"

"Second, the scoundrel who destroyed our Dormitory 266 and took Yao Qingya!"

"Third, is this Su Ze."

Li Xunming's voice grew increasingly gloomy.

"After we search for supplies, when we have time, we'll first investigate who our first two enemies are..."

"As for Su Ze... he has a turret, he's not easy to deal with. We need to plan carefully. But his things, his women, will be ours sooner or later!"
