Will That Boy Come Save Us?
Right at that moment, the countdown on the tombstone hit 00:00.
Electronic synthetic tones rang out one after another in Qin Mu's—no, Xiao Yi's—mind.
Ding-dong! Buried sturdy zombie corpse!
+10 End Coins.
Gained 3 Strength attributes.
Gained 1 Agility attribute.
Beginner Tomb is now cleared. Please bury again.
As the electronic tone faded, a scorching heat surged through his body once more.
Sure enough! This sturdy zombie gave way more boosts than a regular one!
"System! Pull up my stats!"
Seeing his current physical stats, Xiao Yi swung the Sin Blade experimentally. It felt much lighter this time—even after swinging it a dozen times in a row, he didn't feel winded at all.
Of course, Xiao Yi knew that 71 points of Strength wasn't anything special. It was barely on par with a national level-three athlete. That explosive power surge was just an illusion from the rapid growth.
Xiao Yi grabbed another zombie corpse and tossed it into the tomb. Glancing at the red numbers on the tombstone, he frowned slightly.
Corpse burial in progress...
Estimated time: 1 hour...
A regular zombie took a full hour to bury, while the slightly tougher one had needed two. At this rate, he'd waste too much time every day just on burials!
But he didn't have enough End Coins to upgrade the tomb yet.
"System, can I build another tomb?"
Yes! Building a Tomb requires: City space: 5 square meters; End Coins: 20; Time: 3 hours. Confirm build?
Build Now Build Later
"Build now!"
Burial times were dragging too long—Xiao Yi needed more tombs to speed things up.
The more zombies he buried, the stronger he'd get.
In this apocalypse, no one knew what tomorrow might bring.
He had to power up fast!
Meanwhile, the two girls still pressed against the window, calling for help to Xiao Yi. Disappointment filled their eyes now!
That guy clearly had no intention of helping them!
Feeling the cracks on their dry lips and the gnawing hunger in their bellies, they sank into despair.
The water and food in the dorm could hold them for maybe three more days!
After that, it was game over!
The petite girl among them silently shed tears, whining petulantly, "Hmph! Are all guys these days such cowards? Even if he won't save us, he could at least toss us some food and water! Look at him—he's got tons!"
"I really want to eat a sausage right now..." The petite girl bit her chapped but plump pink lips with her sharp tiger teeth.
The taller girl shook her head, looking dejected. "It's the end of the world now—surviving comes first! He has no obligation to risk his life for us or help us. We don't even know him; he doesn't owe us anything."
"So he can just watch two pretty girls like us starve and thirst to death here?! Is he even a man?!" The petite girl shot a scornful glance at Xiao Yi, who was casually chugging a Red Bull, and spat venomously.
"Who says men have to save women? He's not your boyfriend! Whatever, Ting Ting—let's figure something out ourselves." The tall girl shook her head firmly, bit her lip, gave Xiao Yi one last look, and moved to close the window.
But then she saw that weird guy gripping a gleaming machete, charging straight toward the dorm!
"Is he coming to save us?!" the tall girl gasped, mouth agape in shock.
"Whoa! So cool! He actually charged over! He looks so handsome running like that!" The petite girl stared at Xiao Yi with starry eyes, full of admiration.
The girl was petite and cute, but her figure was killer—bouncing as she jumped, even making the tall girl a bit jealous.
Talk about a baby face with... assets.
"But with so many zombies, can he really make it up here?"
"What if he dies on the zombie-infested path and gets torn apart and eaten?"
"He might be our only hope!"
"What can we do to help him?"
As the two girls fretted anxiously yet hopefully, Xiao Yi's figure closed in on the girls' dormitory!
"He's so awesome! He killed all those zombies!" the petite girl squealed, her big blinking eyes shining with worship.
