But Wang Yu clearly didn't care.
He frowned, "Didn't I tell you to come alone?"
"I, I..."
Su Wan'er clasped her hands together behind her back, her head slightly bowed.
Like a child who had done something wrong.
"She's Chen Sisi, my best friend and roommate. I was afraid for her... so I brought her along."
Chen Sisi stood to the side, somewhat bewildered.
She had been inexplicably called out by Su Wan'er, and when Wang Yu first entered, he had immediately questioned them.
She had thought they were a couple.
Su Wan'er, feeling shy, had called her third wheel, which displeased her boyfriend.
But Su Wan'er's answer made her feel like they weren't that kind of relationship.
Moreover, as her best friend, she had never heard of Su Wan'er having a boyfriend.
Wang Yu waved his hand, "Alright, since you're here, let's not dwell on it. Chen Sisi, right? Go downstairs and get a room, choose the one next door."
"Remember, you two stay in the room and don't come out. Don't open the door for anyone who calls for you."
"Otherwise, you'll only be the ones to suffer."
"I have something else to do, I'll be leaving now. I'll come to see you again in a couple of days."
After leaving some food and water in the room, Wang Yu hurried away.
This action immediately made Chen Sisi's beautiful eyes widen.
She had come to the hotel inexplicably, and then inexplicably received a scolding.
Her impression of Wang Yu was very bad.
In the past, all boys had spoken to her and Su Wan'er politely. None had been like Wang Yu.
But now, seeing Wang Yu conjure food and water out of thin air, all her dissatisfaction vanished instantly.
Su Wan'er had wanted to ask Wang Yu what he meant, but seeing how hurriedly he left, she didn't.
"Wan'er, who is he?"
"How did he just... do that? It's so magical!"
"But he's not very polite. He doesn't know how to be gentle with girls, hmph."
Su Wan'er shook her head slightly, "I don't know either. He was very gentle and polite when he saw me a few days ago."
"Maybe he really has something urgent to do right now."
She told Chen Sisi about Wang Yu's situation, which immediately sparked intense curiosity in Chen Sisi's heart about Wang Yu.
Especially the exotic fruit that could enhance physical fitness, which made her yearn for it.
A man's mystery is always the most attractive thing to women, comparable to poison.
After the two of them settled into the hotel, they had nothing to do. They had been watching dramas all along and were completely unaware of the anomalies outside.
They only discovered it after Wang Yu left.
It was already ten o'clock.
Strange winds began to blow across the globe, and the apocalypse officially began.
On his way back, Wang Yu didn't drive but instead grabbed a shared electric bike.
Due to the influence of the electromagnetic field from the异空间 (yì kōngjiān - exotic space/dimension), many electrical appliances and precision instruments began to malfunction.
Soon, all cars would be paralyzed.
Wang Yu didn't want to get into a car accident on his way back.
And if he drove, he might get stuck halfway.
Many pessimistic comments had already appeared online.
Causing widespread panic.
Some perceptive individuals sensed the abnormality and began to secretly hoard supplies.
Others were not far behind, rushing into stores and supermarkets.
Thus, a wave of hoarding supplies swept across the globe.
"Although the situation is still under control now, it will soon escalate into抢夺 (qiǎngduó -抢夺 -搶奪 - plundering) and riots."
Wang Yu rode his electric scooter, watching the hurried pedestrians on the street.
Especially at the entrances of supermarkets and shops, which were completely jammed.
The journey back was not far. Although the streets were filled with vehicles and people.
Wang Yu's electric scooter was very convenient, weaving through them.
When he encountered an impassable obstacle, he would lift the electric scooter with one hand, push through the crowd with the other, and walk past.
Pedestrians were roughly pushed aside, and their urgent desire to grab supplies turned into a bit of anger.
But upon seeing Wang Yu effortlessly holding the electric scooter with one hand, they immediately closed their mouths, about to curse.
About a kilometer from the school, the electric scooter finally malfunctioned.
Wang Yu then took out a geared bicycle and continued his journey.
With his current 1.5 times normal physique, his cycling speed was also very fast, even surpassing the electric scooter.
He returned to school in three minutes.
This was even with the obstacles on the road. If the road had been clear, it would have taken less than two minutes.
...
Walking back to the dormitory, Wang Yu saw many students rushing back to their dorms.
Their expressions varied, but they all had one thing in common.
That was, not a single person had a smile on their face.
Usually, when students returned to their dorms, they would go in groups, chatting and laughing.
But now, many had furrowed brows, creating a somber scene.
The sky was overcast, and strange winds blew, rustling the leaves in the campus.
"What's going on? It was clear skies just now, why did it suddenly turn cloudy and windy?"
"Yeah, the change is too fast. And do you guys feel it, this wind is chilly and very strange!"
"You guys, could it be the end of the world? Have aliens attacked Blue Star?"
"Otherwise, why is it windy and the power is out? I see many people's phones are broken, and the ones that aren't broken have no signal."
"Alright, stop talking. The school has issued a notice. Those with classes should stay in the classrooms, and those without should return to their dormitories first. Don't wander outside. We'll talk about it when we get back to the dorms."
Wang Yu walked, listening to the chatter around him.
His current physique was 1.5 times that of a normal person, so his hearing was naturally good.
It was almost half past ten, and the situation on campus was much better than outside.
The chaos outside was escalating.
On the way back, Wang Yu had seen the police mobilize, but it was of no use.
There were simply too many people scrambling for supplies.
The police force was limited and could only prioritize areas where major accidents had occurred.
Furthermore, the communication and power outages prevented effective coordination, leading to a situation that was increasingly spiraling out of control.
Finally, due to the damage from the异空间 (yì kōngjiān) electromagnetic field, all police cars were scrapped, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The entire city was completely paralyzed, and everyone plunged into panic and madness...
However, none of this concerned Wang Yu.
He quietly returned to his dormitory alone and spent half a day with Hu Niu in the secret realm.
He didn't know how effective the 化灵仙草 (huà líng xiāncǎo - Spirit Transformation Immortal Herb) was, or how long it would take for Hu Niu to transform.
With the apocalypse imminent, he had to seize every moment to strengthen his own power.
Transformed demonic beasts were not only powerful but also unfailingly loyal to their masters.
They were definitely much more reliable than others.
Half a day later (half an hour on Blue Star), Wang Yu emerged.
At this moment, he heard very noisy sounds.
There were screams, roars, pleas for help, cries, sounds of fighting, and even the loud sound of doors closing.
He even heard the sound of someone jumping from a building.
"Jumping... if they die directly from the fall, it's fine. If they don't die..."
Wang Yu silently mourned these students who jumped for three seconds in his heart.
He glanced at the mechanical clock in the dormitory.
11:02
"Heh heh, the apocalypse has descended..."
Wang Yu sneered. At this moment, the familiar apocalypse had finally arrived.
Taking out an ordinary long sword, Wang Yu strode out of the dormitory.
The first thing he saw was a corpse lying at the dormitory entrance.
Covered in blood, with a gruesome death.
A large chunk of flesh was missing from its neck, indicating it had been devoured by a zombie.
The zombies had just recently transformed and were not very hungry yet.
Their attacks on humans were more of an instinct.
After a few days, when the zombies were hungry, they would devour humans completely, leaving nothing but bones.
Wang Yu looked around.
This floor likely had many students in classes, so only a few corpses and some bloodstains remained in the corridor.
Unlike other floors, where scenes of "you chase me, I chase you" were playing out.
The ground was the same.
Everyone had been too concentrated before, and the zombies erupted suddenly.
Everyone was terrified and desperately ran out of classrooms or dormitories.
Suddenly, the corpse at the door's eyes snapped open, and it struggled to stand up from the ground in an unnatural posture.
What was eerie and terrifying was that it had no pupils at all, only bloodshot, pale white eyeballs.
It had transformed!
As soon as this zombie got up and was about to make its next move, its neck was severed by a sword.
Thump, thump.
Its head fell to the ground, making two dull thuds.
"As expected, people bitten by zombies also turn into zombies."
Wang Yu took out a dagger and dug out a finger-sized worm from the zombie's head.
The worm was pure white and coiled into a ball, plump.
But it was already dead.
This was the corpse worm, the culprit behind turning humans into zombies.
Only by severing the zombie's head or severely damaging its brain could the zombie be killed.
And the corpse worm killed simultaneously.
Otherwise, the zombie would be a monster that knew no pain.
People bitten by zombies would become zombies.
Being scratched would not result in transformation, but one would still die from corpse poison.
Only evolved individuals could be immune to the corpse poison of zombies of the same or lower level.
When facing high-level zombies, evolved individuals would also turn into zombies or become poisoned corpses.
