Chapter 5 And here we are, food supplies for the apocalypse!

A male voice rang out with a sneer. Su Ze followed the sound.

Three figures swaggered over.

The leader had yellow hair, a thin build, and a roguish look on his face.

It was none other than one of Su Ze's roommates, Sun Qiang, whom he saw day in and day out.

The two following behind him were also Su Ze's roommates, Wang Liang and Zhao Gang.

Before the apocalypse descended, these three basically holed up in the Dormitory playing games every day.

The deafening noise from their headphones, the blaring trash music, and the occasional outbursts of cursing made it impossible for Su Ze, a student who studied hard and often worked part-time jobs, to sleep peacefully.

Because they were addicted to online games year-round, their physical fitness was poor and their basic combat power was pathetically low, so normal male dormitories didn't welcome them.

But these guys thought too highly of themselves and were unwilling to join female dormitories, considering that 'beneath them'.

When they saw Su Ze's post in the channel about 'only accepting goddesses', they made a special trip here.

Believing that the three of them combined were enough to make Su Ze back down, or even seize his position as landlord from him.

'Well, if it isn't Su Ze?'

Sun Qiang grinned, revealing a few yellowish teeth, the smile full of mockery.

'What, learned to yell at girls now?'

'Before, when we played games in the middle of the night, keeping you from sleeping, you didn't dare utter a peep. Getting all high and mighty now?'

Wang Liang and Zhao Gang behind him also started snickering sarcastically, their laughter particularly grating in the hallway.

Tan Jing, as if grabbing a lifeline, immediately shouted, 'It's him! Someone like him deserves to be eaten by zombies!'

'Shut your mouth!'

Sun Qiang turned and glared at Tan Jing, the look making her immediately shrink back, not daring to say more.

Sun Qiang turned back to Su Ze, the disdain on his face even stronger.

'Su Ze, hand over the landlord position now, and we might be generous enough to give you a tenant spot. Otherwise, getting thrown out won't look good.'

As soon as he said this, the girls around them held their breath, the atmosphere instantly becoming tense.

Jiang Yuwan stood beside Su Ze, her body trembling slightly.

She knew these three were no good even back in school,

and in this situation, Su Ze facing them alone would likely come out worse.

Su Ze ignored Sun Qiang's taunts.

Instead, he directly allocated the 2 free attribute points he just obtained entirely to Strength.

[Player: Su Ze]

[Personal Attributes: HP 6, Strength 8, Intelligence 6, Stamina 6, Spirit 6, Speed 6]

[Basic Combat Power: 38]

His Strength attribute instantly increased, a surge of powerful strength flooding his entire body.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, a square-cornered iron block instantly appeared in his palm.

It was the iron material he had just obtained from dismantling the bed!

Without a single word of nonsense.

Su Ze took a step forward. Sun Qiang's sneer was still plastered on his face; he hadn't even reacted yet, the smile not fully faded from his lips.

'Thud!'

The corner of the iron block, carrying the force of splitting air, smashed viciously into Sun Qiang's forehead!

A dull thud, and Sun Qiang's laughter cut off abruptly.

The skin and flesh on his forehead instantly split open, crimson blood gushing out, revealing a deep, bone-visible hole.

He let out a shriek, his body swayed, his eyes bulged wide, his face a mask of disbelief and excruciating pain.

All around, silence fell instantly.

Everyone was stunned, including Tan Jing and the girls behind her, as well as Wang Liang and Zhao Gang beside Sun Qiang.

Sun Qiang opened his mouth as if to say something, but only an indistinct gurgle came from his throat.

Dizzy and lightheaded, his legs gave way, and he crashed to the ground.

'You... you... don't...' he mumbled, his voice weak, tearful, seemingly wanting to beg.

But Su Ze gave him no chance.

He didn't pause for a moment, directly crouching down.

That bloodstained iron block was raised high again, and then...

Once, twice, three times, it smashed down on Sun Qiang's head without a trace of emotion.

'Thud! Thud!'

The dull thudding sounds were particularly jarring in the silent hallway.

Blood splattered, staining the hem of Su Ze's clothes, splashing onto Sun Qiang's face, even landing on a nearby girl's shoe.

The scene was utterly horrifying, the heavy smell of blood spreading through the air.

Everyone was terrified out of their wits by this sudden violence, their bodies stiff, unable to move.

Jiang Yuwan covered her mouth.

Watching Su Ze's face, calm to the point of coldness, watching his repeated movements, her stomach churned.

This was only the beginning of the apocalypse; everyone was just ordinary people. Where would they have seen a real killing scene?

Fear, like a tidal wave, instantly engulfed everyone.

Wang Liang and Zhao Gang, these two roommates who had been clamoring to seize the landlord position, now had faces pale as sheets, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Tan Jing and the girls behind her were so frightened they retreated repeatedly, some even letting out piercing screams.

They never imagined Su Ze could be so vicious, killing someone directly without a single word!

Su Ze's actions continued for a moment.

Only when Sun Qiang's body went completely limp, showing no further reaction, did he slowly stand up.

The iron block in his hand, along with his right hand, was now completely stained red with blood, even dripping with droplets.

His face was covered in splattered blood, making his entire person appear terrifying and ferocious.

He swept his gaze around, looking over Wang Liang and Zhao Gang, then Tan Jing and the girls behind her, finally settling back on the corpse.

Under the gazes of the crowd, frozen in terror and suffocation, the corner of Su Ze's mouth suddenly lifted in a faint, indifferent curve.

He shook the blood droplets from his hand and spoke in a light tone:

'There, rations for the apocalypse, we have them now.'

As his words fell, he walked to Sun Qiang's corpse, reached out, and gave it a light touch.

Under the incredulous stares of everyone, Sun Qiang's bloody, mangled corpse was directly stored into Su Ze's player inventory, leaving only a large, glaring pool of blood on the spot.

...

The entire hallway instantly plunged into a suffocating, deathly silence.

Everyone was so shocked by the scene before them that their eyes widened, mouths agape, minds blank, even forgetting to breathe.

Wang Liang and Zhao Gang's pants instantly soaked through, a foul smell of urine spreading.

Their eyes bulged, faces deathly pale as if they'd seen a ghost.

Tan Jing and those girls were so terrified they couldn't even scream, just stood with mouths wide open, bodies shaking like sieves.

Some even rolled their eyes back and fainted on the spot.

Killing was terrifying enough.

But storing a fellow human's corpse as 'rations',

this unimaginable, utterly cold-blooded act completely shattered their last psychological defenses.

Jiang Yuwan, standing by the door, shuddered violently, her face instantly turning as pale as paper.

Covering her mouth, looking at Su Ze's terrifyingly calm profile,

a chill from the depths of her soul made her whole body turn ice-cold, utterly dumbfounded on the spot.
