Lu Sheng sat up abruptly and pricked up his ears.
"There's something outside."
Zhuangzhuang's bright blue cat eyes narrowed to slits in the darkness as it jumped onto Lu Sheng's shoulder and silently twitched its nose.
Lu Sheng silently got up, took out the military shovel he had just bought from his spatial storage, and slowly approached the door on tiptoe.
The apocalypse happened seven days earlier than expected, and she wasn't sure if the zombies had mutated earlier as well.
But no matter who comes in, if they dare to enter this door, they'd better save their lives.
The strange clicking sound seemed to stop outside the door. Lu Sheng peeked out through the peephole and saw only a blurry humanoid figure looking down and taking out a phone.
"Love is like fire, it warms the heart..."
Lu Sheng's bizarre ringtone suddenly rang out in the quiet night.
She glanced down at the name that appeared on the screen, and her tense muscles finally relaxed.
"Why didn't you tell Sun Tiantian you were coming?" Lu Sheng put away his military shovel and opened the door directly.
"She even blocked me on Alipay, how am I supposed to contact her?"
The dark figure staggered into the room, took off his dirty raincoat, and revealed a young and handsome face.
It was Sun Tiantian's boyfriend, Xiao Yu, who arrived. The strange noise earlier came from his worn-out rain boots.
Once the alarm was over, Zhuangzhuang lazily lay back down on the sofa and started licking his eggs again.
Xiao Yu was soaked to the bone, her clothes were torn in several places, and her rain boots were filled with water, her feet were white and swollen from being soaked. It looked like she had suffered a lot along the way.
"I knew you were here as soon as I saw the trash bags tied with bows by the door."
Xiao Yu took off her clothes and wiped the wound on her back with a tissue in front of the mirror, wincing in pain.
Sun Tiantian was finally woken up by the noise. When she saw Xiao Yu, her face darkened. "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Yu limped over, her face tense with anger, "Sun Tiantian, do you have any conscience? I heard you had a conflict with Su Zicheng, and you walked four hours from home in the middle of the night to come here."
Lu Sheng didn't listen to what they said next. Both of them were love-struck and couldn't even finish three sentences before they were all sticking together affectionately.
After Sun Tiantian and Xiao Yu entered the room, Lu Sheng quickly activated Alipay on his phone, selected a pharmacy near the school on a food delivery app, and decisively ordered 100 boxes of family planning products, adding a 500 yuan delivery fee.
A generous reward will surely attract brave men; she certainly didn't want to help Sun Tiantian raise her child in the apocalypse.
Lu Sheng trusted Xiao Yu's character. In his previous life, Xiao Yu saved Lu Sheng and Sun Tiantian from the jaws of a mutated poisonous dog, but he himself was bitten to death.
Two fists can't beat four hands. In the apocalypse, having more trustworthy people means more protection. Besides, Lu Sheng can't keep Sun Tiantian by his side all the time, so having a boyfriend to protect her is just right.
...
The next morning, Lu Sheng was woken up by a barrage of WeChat notifications. After washing up, she opened the app and found that it was a group chat created by class monitor Li Minghao.
Li Minghao: "Many of our classmates are stuck in the dorms, so we created a group chat to bring everyone together. If we have any difficulties, we can just let everyone know in the group so that we can help each other."
Lu Sheng vaguely remembered this class monitor; he was an overly enthusiastic but incompetent pushover. He was among the first to die in the apocalypse.
"Experts predict that the heavy rain will continue until 6:00 AM tomorrow, with strong winds and reduced visibility. Citizens are advised to keep doors and windows closed and reduce outdoor activities."
Lu Sheng and Sun Tiantian nestled on the sofa, looking at messages in the group chat while listening to the emergency alert broadcast on TV.
A fierce wind was blowing outside the window. The security booth downstairs had been blown down and was lying across the roadside. The once bustling student street was deserted. Even through two layers of bulletproof glass, the howling wind could still be faintly heard.
The college students in the group were not affected by the bad weather at all, and were still chatting and joking with each other.
"These lousy groups will eventually become just social groups," Xiao Yu said dismissively as she brought two glasses of milk to Lu Sheng and Sun Tiantian.
Just as Xiao Yu predicted, Lin Dong and Wang Liang flirted with the female students in the group chat, and soon they formed a team to help them rank up.
"Any sisters willing to lend a hand? The four of us are currently without food or water." Lin Dong sent a crying emoji in the group chat. "I'll treat you to a big meal when the rain stops."
Lin Dong's status as a rich second-generation is common knowledge at Peking University. Despite his notorious reputation as a scumbag, there are still girls who think they are very capable and rush to his aid.
Soon, a junior student named Li Xiang, whose profile picture is a pink loli, took the initiative to tag Lin Dong, saying, "Senior, which room are you in? I have some snail rice noodles that I can give you."
After this younger sister started it, the rest of the group members also began to show off their meals, half complaining and half showing off.
Lu Sheng snorted coldly and muted the group chat.
There will always be people who love to show off and compare themselves to others, no matter when. Little do they know that we are now in the apocalypse. When someone is in dire straits, they will be the first to be targeted.
However, the joyful atmosphere in the group didn't last long, and by evening most people couldn't take it anymore.
The shopping district near Kyoto University is very bustling; you can buy whatever you want just by going downstairs.
Apart from hamster-loving individuals like Sun Tiantian who like to stock up on food by the box, most people rely on takeout for all three meals and don't stock up at all.
But now the water outside is already knee-deep, so how can any delivery drivers come to deliver food?
"Does anyone have any food? Sell it to me at a high price." A user with the letter Q as their profile picture spoke in the group.
Sun Tiantian, munching on her ice cream cone, said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Look, Qin Shou is in the group too."
Qin Shou's real name is Qin Kun. He is the advisor of Lu Sheng and Sun Tiantian's class. He is a graduate student from a sports university who got into Peking University through connections.
He still acts like a typical student from the university, constantly swearing. He's a lecherous old man who often checks the girls' dorms in the middle of the night; the students secretly call him "Beast Qin."
"Let him steal your student grant, he deserves to starve to death." Sun Tiantian snuggled up to Lu Sheng and winked playfully.
Last year's scholarship should have been for Lu Sheng, but Qin Shou tampered with it and gave the money to the girl he was having an affair with.
The group chat, which was quite active this morning, is now silent. Everyone has seen the flooding outside and knows that they won't be able to buy anything to eat anytime soon.
Moreover, most people have long been dissatisfied with Qin Shou and want to see him make a fool of himself.
After waiting for a while without a reply, Qin Shou became a little anxious and sent two voice messages in a row.
"Students, mutual help and love is the motto of Peking University."
You have really disappointed your teacher!
A blank profile picture suddenly sent a message: "Teacher Qin, everyone has just returned to school, so they definitely haven't stocked up on supplies. Why don't you ask 402? Sun Tiantian keeps getting packages delivered every day, so she might have some."
Sun Tiantian gripped her phone, jumping up and down in anger. "Who is this? They won't give it to me themselves, yet they're leading Qin the Beast here?"
