Chapter 6: Will That Guy Come to Save Us?
Just then, the countdown on the tombstone also changed to 00:00.
A series of electronic synthesized sounds from the system echoed in Qin Mu's mind.
"Ding! Strength-type zombie corpse has been buried!"
"+10 Apocalypse Coins."
"+3 Strength attribute."
"+1 Agility attribute."
"Primary tomb has been emptied. Please bury another corpse."
As the electronic voice faded, a scorching heat once again swept through his entire body.
As expected! This strength-type zombie gave more than the ordinary ones!
"System! Show my status!"
[City of Sin (Beginner) Lord's Name: Xiao Yi]
[Gender: Male]
[Physique: 72]
[Spirit: 60]
[Strength: 71]
[Endurance: 63]
[Agility: 63]
(The average adult male human is 60)
[Skills: None]
[Items: Blade of Sin (Beginner), Spatial Pouch (Beginner)]
[Apocalypse Coins: 24]
Seeing his current physical attributes, Xiao Yi swung the Blade of Sin. This time, it felt much lighter. He could swing it a dozen times in a row without feeling too tired.
Of course, Xiao Yi knew that a mere 71 points in strength wasn't much. At most, it was only at the level of a national third-class athlete. This feeling of a sudden surge in power was merely an illusion caused by his recent increase in strength.
Xiao Yi picked up another zombie corpse and tossed it into the tomb. Looking at the red numbers on the tombstone, he couldn't help but frown.
[Corpse is being buried...]
[Estimated time: 1 hour...]
Even an ordinary zombie took an hour to bury. The slightly stronger one from before had taken two hours. At this rate, too much time would be consumed by burying them every day!
But now, he didn't have enough Apocalypse Coins to upgrade the tomb.
"System, can I build another tomb?"
"Yes! Building a tomb requires: 5 square meters of city space; 20 Apocalypse Coins; 3 hours. Do you wish to build a tomb?"
[Build Now][Build Later]
"Build now!"
The time it took to bury zombie corpses was too long. Xiao Yi had to build more tombs to shorten the time.
Because the more zombie corpses he buried, the stronger he could become.
In this apocalypse, no one knew what tomorrow would bring.
He had to become stronger, quickly!
Meanwhile, the two girls calling out to Xiao Yi from the window were filled with disappointment!
That guy didn't seem to have any intention of acknowledging them!
Feeling the dryness on their lips and the hunger in their stomachs, the two of them fell into despair.
The water and food in their dorm room would only last them another three days at most!
After three days, they would be in a desperate situation!
The smaller of the two girls silently shed tears and said petulantly, "Hmph! Are all guys such cowards these days? Even if he won't save us, he could at least send us some food and water! Look, he has so much of it!"
"I really want to eat a sausage right now..." The small girl bit her dry yet full, pink lips with her sharp canine teeth.
But the taller girl shook her head and said dejectedly, "It's the apocalypse now. The most important thing is to preserve your own life! He really has no obligation to risk his life to save us or help us! We don't know each other; he doesn't owe us anything."
"So he can just bear to watch two pretty girls like us starve or die of thirst here?! Is he even a man?!" The small girl shot a contemptuous glance at Xiao Yi, who was leisurely drinking a Red Bull, and cursed viciously.
"Who says a man has to save a woman? He's not your boyfriend! Forget it, Xiao Ting, let's think of our own way out!" The taller girl shook her head resolutely, bit her lip, gave Xiao Yi one last look, and prepared to close the window.
Just then, she saw the strange guy holding a large, gleaming knife in his hand, charging towards their dormitory!
"Is he coming to save us?!" the tall girl exclaimed, her mouth agape in surprise.
"Wow! So cool! He's actually charging over! He looks so handsome when he runs!" The small girl watched Xiao Yi with a starstruck gaze, her eyes full of admiration.
Although the girl was petite and cute, she possessed a stunning figure.
When she moved, even the taller girl couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.
Perhaps this is what they call a petite with a 'bombshell' figure...
"But with so many zombies, can he really make it through?"
"What if he dies on the way surrounded by zombies, and gets eaten by them?"
"He might be our only hope!"
"Is there anything we can do to help him?"
Just as the two girls were anxiously and hopefully letting their imaginations run wild, Xiao Yi's figure was already charging close to the girls' dormitory!
"He's so amazing! So many zombies, and he actually killed them all!" the small girl screamed, her big, sparkling eyes filled with the light of worship.
