Private Shelter

But when they stepped inside, they all breathed a sigh of relief!

Most of the multi-person rooms were for eight people, with a few for six.

Just like school dorms before, there were bunk beds with desks underneath, and a small wardrobe for storage.

It looked orderly and not crowded at all.

"Phew, that scared me, I thought it was going to be a big communal sleeping area!"

"Isn't this just like when we were in school? What's the big deal?"

"It's already the apocalypse, don't be so demanding."

Everyone felt cheerful after seeing the rooms.

The living conditions weren't bad now.

Maybe in the future, there would be other ways to earn points and strive to live in a double room, or even a single room.

Life was full of hope!

While everyone was registering for rooms here, Li Chen had already returned to the monitoring room.

He observed the situation inside the shelter through the screens.

"Noah, report the registration status."

"Yes, Host."

"Currently, 5688 people have completed work registration. Among them, there are 30 researchers and 300 registered for the combat team."

The rest were naturally engaged in service or technical roles.

Li Chen looked at the data, a little surprised.

He had thought that after experiencing today's situation, these people would be afraid of zombies.

He didn't expect that there were still 300 people willing to join the combat team!

For Li Chen, although there were cultivation pods that could breed android warriors, these all required energy cores.

Therefore, supplementing some soldiers directly from the survivors was the most suitable option!

Just as Li Chen was about to arrange the next tasks, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"The vast horizon is my love..."

He looked down.

It was Li Chen's phone from before the apocalypse.

The call was from none other than Li Chen's class monitor, Yang Wei.

"Li Chen, where are you right now?"

As soon as the call connected, Yang Wei's impolite voice came through.

"I'm in a shelter," Li Chen said calmly.

"Heh, I heard there's a virus outbreak in Donghai City, right?"

"I went traveling with my dad and heard about it when I got back. How are things over there?"

Yang Wei continued to ask.

Yang Wei was a rich second generation, his family was in real estate.

Before the apocalypse, Yang Wei relied on his family's wealth to swagger around in class.

Even the teachers didn't dare to easily provoke him!

Li Chen frowned and didn't speak.

Not getting a response from Li Chen, Yang Wei continued on his own, "My dad built a private shelter in Donghai a long time ago."

"I notified you guys in the group that you could come here for shelter. You're the only one who hasn't replied."

Since being reborn.

Li Chen's mind had been full of how to hoard supplies and how to save people.

He hadn't even looked at his phone.

Hearing Yang Wei's words.

Li Chen opened the class group chat.

He saw that yesterday, not long after the virus outbreak, Yang Wei had sent a message.

"There's a private shelter next to my house. If you want to come, hurry over."

Below were many classmates' praises.

"As expected of our Brother Wei, is this the power of money?! Love it, love it!"

"Reporting, Brother Wei, the Class Beauty has already brought us to the shelter and is waiting for Brother Wei to come back and command!"

"Right, right, most of the class is here. What about Li Chen and the others, why aren't they saying anything? Are they dead?"

"Who cares about him, that kid is just a blockhead, always making Brother Wei angry. Does he have the face to enter Brother Wei's shelter?"

"Yeah, last time Li Chen even wanted to compete with Brother Wei for a woman, he didn't know his place!"

"Oh, don't talk about Li Chen like that, we're all classmates. How dangerous is it outside now, can anyone contact him? Hurry up and hide!"

In the past, Li Chen and Yang Wei had some old grudges.

At that time, Yang Wei had his eyes on the school beauty.

But the school beauty couldn't stand Yang Wei's behavior and completely ignored him.

Instead, they were full of concern for Li Chen.

Because of this, Yang Wei found Li Chen an eyesore everywhere and opposed him at every turn.

At this moment, many classmates, in order to curry favor with Yang Wei, cursed Li Chen to die.

"Do you think the Class Beauty has a place to hide now? It's full of man-eating monsters outside!"

"Heh heh, what does that have to do with us? That stinky bitch didn't know what was good for her. If she hadn't rejected Brother Wei, she would be living with Brother Wei right now, safe and sound."

These people who were speaking sarcastically.

Basically, before the virus outbreak, they had already curried favor with Yang Wei.

And moved into Yang Wei's shelter.

They had always had good food and drinks.

They had never even seen a Zombie.

So saying these things didn't burden them at all.

"Alright, stop talking. Isn't it normal for classmates to have some friction? Why curse others like this?"

"My parents... have both died in this disaster! You should be praying now that everyone you know can survive!"

"Me too, I'm hiding at home right now and don't dare to go out at all. How can you be so malicious!"

Some classmates who hadn't entered the shelter.

Seeing this information, they all came out to dissuade them.

Li Chen scrolled through this information, his expression darkening.

"Li Chen, why aren't you talking? Are you mute?"

"I'm kindly inviting you to my shelter, don't be ungrateful."

After Yang Wei dropped this sentence, he hung up the phone.

He wasn't a kind person at all.

He made this call, firstly, to test if Li Chen was still alive.

Secondly, he wanted to get Li Chen to his shelter.

It was already the apocalypse now.

Before the apocalypse, due to laws and regulations, Yang Wei couldn't do anything to Li Chen.

Now, as long as he got Li Chen to his territory.

Couldn't he do whatever he wanted?

Daring to steal a woman from him, Yang Wei, was simply courting death!

Yang Wei didn't really like the Class Beauty that much.

In fact, his private life was very chaotic, and any woman in the school with a bit of looks had an unclear relationship with him.

The Class Beauty was even Yang Wei's tool for warming his bed!

The reason he was jealous of Li Chen was purely because Yang Wei was used to being arrogant and domineering.

He simply couldn't tolerate anyone defying him!

Li Chen looked at the disconnected call, a slight curve on his lips.

"A Private Shelter? Heh."

He placed the phone aside.

Li Chen looked up and continued to ask Noah, "What's the infection situation like worldwide now?"

Noah immediately projected a world map.

The green areas were those that hadn't been infected.

There was only that small patch of Iceland.

And in all the developing countries, they had all turned dark red!

Indicating the most severe infection.

Next were the developed countries, which were light red.

However, these colors were gradually deepening.

Natural and man-made disasters!

Even if some countries immediately locked down cities, temporarily blocking the spread of the virus.

It was foreseeable that this wouldn't do much!

Because the virus wasn't just spread through saliva and blood; it could potentially be spread through water sources!

It could even drift with air currents.

Even if an entire city's population was prohibited from moving around.

It was hard to guarantee that a certain water source wouldn't be contaminated.

Once zombies broke out, it would simply be a massacre of the city.

The fate of humanity was worrying!
