Yang Wei listened to everyone's words and smiled faintly.
"All right, stop talking about A Ruo."
"We're classmates, after all. If we can really get in touch with Li Chen, it's only right to let him come here and take shelter."
"A Ruo, after eating so many compressed biscuits, you must be thirsty, right? Have some water to moisten your throat."
As Yang Wei spoke, he handed the bottled water to the School Beauty.
The surrounding students stared at the bottled water.
They could not help licking their dry, cracked lips.
But none of them dared question it!
Back at school, Yang Wei had practically won over every girl.
Only the School Beauty had remained unmoved by him.
Even a fool could tell.
Yang Wei wanted to use these things to score points with the School Beauty!
"Wei Ge is the most devoted man in the world!"
"At a time like this, he's willing to give precious water to Xiao Ruo. If it were me, I'd say yes."
The School Beauty, Xiao Ruo, looked at the bottled water and slowly shook her head.
She took out her phone.
"I'll send Li Chen a message."
The moment the words left her mouth.
Xiao Ruo's gaze became glued to her phone, and she could not tear it away!
Her phone, which should not have had any signal at all.
Now showed full signal bars in the upper-right corner!
There was even an indicator showing that the network was connected!
"Th-there's internet!"
Xiao Ruo said excitedly.
The other students all curled their lips, not believing her at all.
"Are you hallucinating? We all checked this morning. There was no internet at all."
"What are you shouting for? Wei Ge already said the signal base stations were destroyed. There's no way there could be internet."
Xiao Ruo composed a text message and sent it to Li Chen.
Only then did she open Douyin and show the others on the spot.
"Holy shit, what's going on? There really is internet!"
"I want to check too!"
These people had always lived pampered lives.
At home, they only had to hold out their hands for clothes and open their mouths for food.
Now that the apocalypse had come.
Every one of them was huddled in a pitch-black cellar.
They gnawed on compressed biscuits and did not even have water to drink.
They could barely endure that.
But without an internet signal, they could not even scroll through Douyin.
Losing their entertainment was what hurt them the most.
The moment they heard there was internet.
Some opened Douyin and started watching with delight.
Others opened all sorts of forums, wanting to see what was happening outside.
"Come look, this seems to be a shelter forum in Donghai City!"
"Wow, look at what they had for breakfast. Are you sure this wasn't filmed before the apocalypse?"
"I'm drooling... Where in Donghai City is this shelter? I want to join too."
After the first person discovered the Star-Level Shelter forum.
The others also hurriedly entered it.
At the moment, most of the forum posts were from Star-Level Shelter residents.
Some showed off their breakfasts.
Some showed off their rooms.
If not for the steel walls displayed everywhere.
Everyone would have thought this was life before the apocalypse!
No one present could explain how they felt.
Envy, jealousy, longing.
Those emotions drove them to scroll through post after post on the forum.
They simply could not stop!
Everyone had only one thought.
They wanted to join the Interstellar Shelter.
After sending her message, Xiao Ruo still did not receive a reply from Li Chen.
So she opened the forum's missing relatives section.
Just as she was about to make a post.
A post suddenly caught her eye.
Watching a Big Shot
The poster was a shelter resident.
When he posted it, he had not noticed the section and put it in the wrong place.
Xiao Ruo clicked into it and saw Li Chen's figure right before her eyes!
"Li Chen? He's in the Star-Level Shelter," Xiao Ruo murmured.
The classmates beside her, busy browsing posts, immediately mocked her.
"Seriously, are you hallucinating?"
"Li Chen died outside long ago!"
Xiao Ruo shook her head fiercely.
She raised her phone for the people beside her to see. "I really saw Li Chen."
There were more than a dozen photos in the post.
Most showed Li Chen leading a team in slaughtering zombies yesterday.
There were also a few photos of Li Chen standing nearby as residents registered.
It was not difficult to see that Li Chen stood in the center every time.
He was these people's leader.
This time, the other students were all stunned.
They quickly found the post and examined it carefully.
"Could Li Chen be the person in charge of Star Shelter?"
"How is that possible? This shelter looks incredibly expensive. Where would Li Chen get the ability to build it?"
"Judging from these pictures, even if Li Chen isn't in charge, he's at least some kind of leader."
"Am I the only one who thinks these are photoshopped?"
"It's already the apocalypse. Who would be so bored as to Photoshop fake pictures as a prank?"
This time, all the students fell silent.
They looked at one another!
From the many posts, they had already learned that the Interstellar Shelter was located in Donghai City.
And since Li Chen had appeared in the photos.
It at least meant that he had already joined the Star-Level Shelter.
Even if Li Chen were merely an ordinary shelter resident.
That was enough to make everyone present itch with jealousy.
Why?
Li Chen, that useless trash, did not even know how to behave.
He had angered Wei Ge!
Yet they were still in the cellar, gnawing on dry compressed biscuits.
Why could Li Chen eat steaming hot soup and noodles in the Interstellar Shelter?
Jealousy twisted people beyond recognition.
Someone could not help saying bitterly.
"Fine! We're all classmates, yet we're suffering here while Li Chen ran off to enjoy himself!"
"Exactly! Even if he made it to the Star-Level Shelter, he should have at least told us."
"Now look at him, enjoying all the good things by himself."
Those who had not originally held any ill will toward Li Chen.
Now also had plenty of complaints.
At that moment, someone came across the Star-Level Shelter's application requirements.
He immediately clicked in to take a look excitedly.
"Minors can join with priority!"
"Great! I'm still three months away from turning eighteen. Hahahaha, I'm going to try."
"Pah, you people are really ungrateful. Wei Ge kindly took you in, and now you want to run away?"
"That's right, what a bunch of ingrates!"
Some of the students had started school early.
They were still a few months away from turning eighteen.
All of them eagerly wanted to submit applications.
As for those who did not meet the requirements, they gathered around Yang Wei.
They looked down on the ingrates' behavior!
"Don't say that. People strive upward, and water flows downward. The Star-Level Shelter seems to have excellent conditions, so it's understandable that everyone wants to go."
Yang Wei held back a mouthful of blood that was practically about to burst from his chest.
But to maintain his image.
He had no choice but to keep a hypocritical smile on his face and persuade them.
Hearing Yang Wei say this, those submitting applications felt even more justified.
Besides filling out basic information, the application form also required an uploaded photo of their ID cards.
Noah handled all the reviews.
So the review process was incredibly fast.
Almost as soon as an application was submitted, the result came within minutes.
"What? It says I don't meet the requirements, and my application was rejected?"
"Fuck your mother! I'm clearly still a few months away from turning eighteen, so why was I rejected?"
"This Star-Level Shelter talks a good game. There must be some shady manipulation going on!"
