Doomsday City System
The boy was about to say more when a stern voice cut him off: "Enough! All of you, shut up! That's the wrong way to think about it! What do you mean Xiao Yi saved us? This warehouse belongs to the school. Xiao Yi just got lucky and hid here first! It's school property, not his private stash. Anyone has the right to take shelter in it! At most, he just opened the door for us. How does that mean he saved us?"
Du Zhi Ming stood up, lecturing the burly boy with utmost righteous indignation.
Such shameless words, yet from Du Zhi Ming's mouth, they sounded utterly convincing!
Did Du Zhi Ming not know what had really happened?
Of course he did!
Everyone there knew full well that if Xiao Yi hadn't opened the door and let them in, they'd have been torn apart and devoured by the swarming zombies long ago!
But did that matter? No! That was all in the past. They were safe now!
Right now, surviving better was what counted!
It didn't matter who went out to die—as long as he lived better.
A chill gripped Xiao Yi's heart. To justify kicking him out with some legitimate excuse, Du Zhi Ming had spewed such despicable filth. It made him want to vomit.
Fine. If you all hate me that much, I'll leave!
But why go this far?
He had no desire to argue or explain.
He knew it was pointless. Words were just noise to these people.
"Fine. I'll go!" Xiao Yi stood, his gaze sweeping coldly over the crowd. Expressionless, he turned and headed for the door.
What good would staying do?
Buy him another month of life?
What was the point of scraping by like a pathetic worm?
Xiao Yi would rather take his chances outside. Even if the zombies tore him limb from limb, it'd be better than staring at these ugly faces.
The zombies outside the warehouse had vanished. Xiao Yi glanced left and right, confirming the area was clear before slipping out cautiously.
But it was all for nothing!
Bang! A heavy thud echoed as the security door slammed shut behind him. The massive noise instantly drew the attention of several shambling zombies down the distant hallway!
The two closest to Xiao Yi let out guttural shrieks, charging like they'd spotted the world's most delicious meal!
"Damn it!" Xiao Yi cursed inwardly and bolted in the opposite direction without hesitation!
But he hadn't gone far when a horde appeared ahead!
Zombies everywhere—in packs!
What now?
Xiao Yi gripped his iron bar tightly, letting out a low growl before charging straight at the clawing, snarling mob!
If I'm gonna die, it'll be in a blaze of glory!
After smashing down a dozen zombies, the battered and bleeding Xiao Yi collapsed in exhaustion. Staring at the ever-growing swarm closing in, a relieved smile tugged at his lips.
Took out over a dozen. Not a bad trade.
Doomsday City System bound to host successfully! Would host like to build the city now?
System?!
Build a city?!
Xiao Yi blinked in shock. Am I hallucinating from the zombie bites?
Staring at the holographic text floating before his eyes, he chose to build immediately.
BOOM!!! A thunderous crash rang out, like some massive object hitting the ground. Then darkness claimed him completely.
When Xiao Yi awoke, he found himself in a wooden hut.
It wasn't large—maybe twenty square meters or so.
Besides the bed beneath him, the room held only a desk and a chair.
"Huh? What the hell? Wasn't I swarmed by zombies? And I got bit!" Xiao Yi quickly checked his arm. The bite wound had fully healed, revealing fresh, pink skin.
To his astonishment, not only had he avoided infection, but the injury had mended in record time!
"Where am I? How did I end up here?" Xiao Yi muttered, brow furrowed.
