“At that moment, I already knew that we were no match for Ma Wenhua.”
Last night, we survivors planned to escape from the university under cover of darkness and seek opportunities elsewhere.
Just as we left the university and entered an alley, we were surrounded by people from all directions who appeared out of nowhere.
We barely escaped after paying the price of most of our lives. It wasn't until this morning, when Xiao Ding mentioned Zheng Shuang, that I remembered she had invited us to the city center. That's how our group ended up here.
While listening to Wang Shanshan's story, Yuan Chu casually took out an orange, peeled it, and fed it to Tang Yan, saying, "Yesterday, Wan'er said this orange was very sweet, so I specially saved a few for you to try and see if it's really sweet or just not sweet."
To others, Yuan Chuyi's action seemed like a young couple showing affection, but Tang Yan understood its deeper meaning.
After thanking her husband, she looked at Wang Shanshan and said, "You must be tired from your journey. Now that you're here, feel free to stay."
"By the way, is that mole you sent still alive?"
Wang Shanshan pulled over a thin young man and said, "Madam, this is Ding Liang, who is lurking on Ma Wenhua's side. I only remembered him today because he mentioned the junior sister."
Tang Yan looked at Ding Liang and said, "You've really suffered." Then she took out a bunch of food from her spatial storage and handed it to Wang Shanshan and the others, saying, "There are many superhumans in our city, so you don't need to worry about your safety."
"I'll have Zheng Shuang send you some more supplies later." He then looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Please, Zhou Yu, take them to area 4 to settle in."
After everyone left, Tang Yan looked at the group and said, "Wang Shanshan is fine, the problem is with Ding Liang, he is also one of Ma Wenhua's men."
"What a bastard!" Wan'er cursed angrily.
Zheng Shuang said worriedly, "What should we do next? And what about Song Qian's classmate? Should we tell Song Qian about it beforehand? It seems that Song Qian and that classmate have a very good relationship. I'm really afraid that she won't be able to handle it if she finds out the truth."
After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Chuyi said, "Don't tell Song Qian yet. If she can't even get past this hurdle, then she doesn't deserve to be the leader of the White Tiger Group."
And don't gossip about Tang Yan's superpowers outside, especially you, Wan'er.
Wan'er pouted and said, "If it weren't for the bizarre battle between Sister Tang Yan and Chen Wei, you really wouldn't have told me if I hadn't asked! Humph! But don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped. I wouldn't tell you even if a knife was held to my throat."
Yuan Chuyi glared at Wan'er before turning to Tang Yan and asking, "Do you have any information about the person behind Ma Wenhua?"
Tang Yan shook her head and said, "He didn't notice that. It's probably because he hasn't been exposed to people at that level yet. After all, he's just a pawn in Ma Wenhua's eyes."
Yuan Chuyi took out a cigarette and lit it. He recalled the bits and pieces of his previous life and had never heard of any superpower that could control zombies.
No, in my previous life, although I wasn't one of the lowest-level survivors, I was definitely not one of the top ones either. It's normal that I don't know many things, especially this kind of superpower that I've never even heard of—controlling zombies. But it's too early to draw conclusions now.
It's hard to say whether it's a controlled zombie or someone who can control zombies, but it's more likely that someone has the ability to control zombies. After all, according to Wang Shanshan's description, the zombies don't distinguish between friend and foe, so how could they specifically attack other schools but not the University of Architecture?
It's clear that Ma Wenhua sent two spies into the city with ulterior motives, or perhaps they were just there to pave the way for Ma Wenhua, while the real big boss was still behind and hadn't appeared yet.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chuyi suddenly recalled the zombie siege a year later in his previous life, the scene of a million zombies sweeping across the entire Haicheng was shocking.
What if the zombie siege in the previous life was orchestrated by the person behind Ma Wenhua? Or what if the zombie siege in the previous life had occurred earlier? With our current strength, could we withstand an attack by a million zombies?
Before he knew it, Yuan Chuyi was covered in cold sweat. He stubbed out his cigarette and said to Zheng Shuang, "Zheng Shuang, from now on, you will experience the level of danger in our city every day."
Seeing Yuan Chuyi's tense and serious expression, Zheng Shuang hummed in response and tentatively asked, "Brother Yuan, what's wrong? Is something about to happen?"
After Yuan Chuyi shared his conjecture with the women, their faces showed deep worry. Tang Yan pondered for a moment and then said, "If it's really as you say, then our city will surely perish!"
"Sister Yan, how could you say such discouraging things?" Wan'er said with displeasure.
At this moment, Zheng Shuang also spoke up, saying, "Sister Yan is right. If a million zombies attack us at the same time, our chances of holding out are really slim, especially if the zombies are under command. Our hope is almost zero."
The biggest challenge here is the physical stamina of us survivors. If we fight one day and rest the next, we survivors still have hope. But do you think the zombies will give you that chance to rest?
Tang Yan looked at Yuan Chuyi, whose face was pale, and said, "Given the current situation of internal and external troubles, we must make a decisive decision immediately."
"There's no time to consider the feelings of some people. Only by eliminating internal troubles can we focus on dealing with external enemies. Perhaps then there's still a sliver of hope."
After considering it carefully, Yuan Chuyi said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Also, Zheng Shuang, go to the city to collect crystal cores. I need to get Wan'er to level two superpowers as soon as possible. You and Tang Yan can absorb the remaining enhancement crystal cores to improve your own strength."
"Wan'er, don't wander around the city these next few days. Just copy items for me during the day."
After watching Tang Yan and Zheng Shuang leave, Yuan Chuyi said to the restless Wan'er, "Wait here for me, I'm going to rest for a while."
In the bedroom, Yuan Chuyi entered the system. He needed to solve the stamina problem that Zheng Shuang had just mentioned. He recalled what stamina potions looked like in the game, and slowly a small green bottle of potion appeared in the materialization module.
Looking at the 10,000 gold coins needed for the manifestation, he still felt a pang of heartache, thinking: Two million gold coins in reserves are really not enough to support all the ability users in the city.
An hour later, Yuan Chuyi woke up Wan'er, who was sleeping on the sofa, with forty small green bottles of potion. He gritted his teeth and said, "After you've copied these potions, put them with you for now."
Wan'er looked at Yuan Chuyi, who was about to leave, and asked, "Are you going out so late?"
Yuan Chu nodded and said, "Tell Sister Yan that I'll be back later, and ask her to leave the door open for me." After saying that, he called Yuan Bao and walked out of the base vehicle.
Feeling pressure for the first time since his rebirth, Yuan Chuyi muttered to Yuanbao, "Do you think my decision was right or wrong?"
Watching Yuanbao's big head rubbing against her lap, Yuan Chuyi thought to herself: "The biggest challenge since my rebirth is probably about to begin, and I will absolutely not choose to back down!"
