Chapter 5: I Will Severely Punish You! I'm Coming for You! (Please Continue Reading)

Hearing that Li Chao was originally supposed to deliver supplies to them, Yu Zihan couldn't help but ask,

"Why did you make him call you?"

Song Yubi said with some annoyance,

"He didn't dare to come at first, so I suggested we stay on the phone so I could keep encouraging him."

"I didn't expect him to be so stupid. I encouraged him so loudly, but he still didn't bring the food over."

Yu Zihan sighed.

It seemed relying on Song Yubi was still not very reliable.

It was true that Song Yubi had flirted with many men, but there were definitely not many who would cross such a long distance for her.

Among them, those capable of running over were almost non-existent.

It seemed the only hope for survival lay with Lu Zheng, a hundred meters away.

But, with such terrifying monsters in the black fog, she was truly terrified of being chased by them!

A thought suddenly popped into her mind.

'If only someone could help lure the monsters away.'

She subconsciously glanced at Song Yubi beside her, but immediately dismissed the idea.

Although she was unwilling to share Lu Zheng's supplies with Song Yubi, she couldn't bring herself to use a friend as bait.

At this moment, Lu Zheng received another friend request.

"[Yang Qian from Class 402, Foreign Language Department, sent you a friend request]"

'Little brother, want to see legs? One bottle of water gets you a private photo. Come find me!'

Lu Zheng clicked on her avatar. Just looking at the photo, she had a sweet appearance and well-proportioned face, seemingly a pure and cute girl.

"[Ding! Survivor detected, scanning in progress]"

"[Name: Yang Qian]"

"[Age: Twenty-one]"

"[Identity: Third-year student in the Foreign Language Department at Canglan University, a small 'welfare streamer' on a certain platform]"

"[Evaluation: Ignorant and extreme, wantonly insults and attacks others, crude image, out of shape, chaotic private life, numerous thefts, extremely corrupt moral character]"

"[Conclusion: Does not meet requirements]"

Lu Zheng was speechless. It seemed this avatar was the result of multiple edits using who knows how many software programs.

She probably really thought she looked like that!

He blacklisted her directly.

He didn't even approve the friend request.

No need to waste time.

He continued playing his game.

An hour later, Lu Zheng found someone furiously messaging him in the school's main group chat.

He frowned and clicked to open it.

It turned out to be Liu Mingyang, the Vice President of the Student Union, looking for him.

Liu Mingyang: Lu Zheng, are you there? I know you can see messages, don't pretend you can't! I'm now calling everyone to form a mutual aid society. Bring your supplies over as soon as possible, and let's share them to get through this difficult time together. Otherwise, when I bring people over, I will severely punish you!

His words were copied by many people, reaching over a hundred messages.

Lu Zheng quickly found the reason for his arrogance.

Below his first message, there was a video attached.

Clicking it open, in the video, a boy next to Liu Mingyang casually threw a fireball. The fireball hit the wall, blasting a small hole, and the surrounding area was scorched black.

It looked quite powerful!

Lu Zheng's pupils constricted.

This was, an ability?

It made sense. He had a system, so it wasn't strange for others to have abilities.

It was just, how did others acquire abilities?

Lu Zheng searched online for a while and indeed discovered the reason.

There is strength in numbers, and some people couldn't stand the loneliness and revealed the secret.

In an online video, a chuunibyou teenager calling himself 'Son of Wind' casually threw a Wind Blade and confidently declared,

"As you can see, I have mastered the power of wind. Next, I will continue to grow stronger and become the Wind Overlord of the apocalypse!"

"Oh, right, kill monsters and eat the crystals inside them to awaken superpowers."

"I'll give you time to catch up, but you will all eventually bow before me!"

Lu Zheng silently gave him a thumbs up and wished him well in becoming the Wind Overlord.

So, the monsters' crystals could awaken abilities, and everyone's abilities should be somewhat different.

But killing those monsters was not a simple task.

Because of his two years of fitness, Lu Zheng had better physical qualities, but it was very difficult to kill a monster alone without taking damage.

With the system in hand, he had no need to take risks.

He would acquire abilities sooner or later!

As for Liu Mingyang's threat, he didn't take it to heart at all.

The Seventh Teaching Building was almost an entire campus away from here. Even with that small fireball, if they dared to come over, Lu Zheng would admit defeat.

Two days passed in a flash.

A day ago, the tap water stopped, which meant water resources also became a scarce resource.

Perhaps many people would store some water, but it would be used up in a few days.

Without food, one could consume fat.

But without water, one would quickly become completely dehydrated and could only wait to die!

Yesterday, the power went out.

During these three days, many people sent messages to Lu Zheng, and a few of them met the requirements, but upon hearing they needed to come find him, they lacked the courage.

Lu Zheng didn't care, just waiting for the cruelty of reality to push these people further.

Gu Lengyue and Gu Miantang downstairs probably entered the black fog once before the power outage yesterday and were still in the building, searching for supplies in other people's homes.

When the black fog spread, most people on the first four floors had run to the higher floors.

Before, some people had knocked on his door, asking Lu Zheng to let them in, but Lu Zheng had already barricaded the door and ignored them completely.

The two really did find some things, and Gu Miantang even sent a sarcastic message to Lu Zheng.

"See! We found supplies. Without your help, we can still survive."

Lu Zheng only replied with two words.

"Heh heh!"

As noon approached that day, due to lack of stored water, Yu Zihan, who was already on the verge of collapsing from hunger, truly felt a bit dizzy.

She knew that if she didn't drink water and eat soon, she would likely die immediately.

Looking at her phone, which still had ten percent battery, today was the last day of the deadline Lu Zheng had given. She had to take a chance.

Now was when the sunlight was strongest, and the black fog concentration was lowest, her only opportunity.

She suddenly stood up.

"Yuyu, I can't take it anymore. I'm going to find someone else to rely on."

Song Yubi, equally weak, quickly tried to stop her.

"No, Chen Hongfei is already on his way. He'll deliver food to me very soon."

"Don't go, wait with me! It's very dangerous outside."

In reality, Song Yubi didn't dare to wait alone and didn't want to face Chen Hongfei alone.

Who knew if that guy would have any ulterior motives towards her?

Even if that lowly person risked his life to bring her food, she would feel disgusted if he even touched her hand.

She had always firmly believed that only girls could help girls.

With Zihan by her side, she would feel safe.

Yu Zihan, however, shook her head resolutely and said,

"I don't want to just wait like this anymore. I have to take a chance. Waiting for others' charity, having hope dashed again and again, I'm fed up."

"Yuyu, take care!"

After speaking, she put away her phone, which had just sent a message, then opened the door without looking back and ran downstairs.

Her message was very simple.

"My dear, I'm coming for you!"
