Yang Wei listened to everyone's words and smiled slightly.

"Alright, stop talking about A Ruo."

"We're all classmates. If we can really get in touch with Li Chen, it's only right to let him come here to take shelter."

"A Ruo, you've eaten so many compressed biscuits, you must be thirsty, right? Drink some water to moisten your throat."

As Yang Wei spoke, he handed the bottled water to the School Beauty.

The surrounding classmates looked at the bottled water.

They couldn't help but lick their dry lips.

But no one dared to question him!

When they were in school, almost all the girls had been won over by Yang Wei.

Only the School Beauty remained indifferent to Yang Wei.

Even a fool could see it.

Yang Wei was trying to use these things to gain favor in front of the School Beauty!

"Wei Ge is the most affectionate man in the world!"

"At a time like this, he can even give precious water to Xiao Ruo to drink. If it were me, I would have agreed."

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."

As soon as she finished speaking.

Xiao Ruo's gaze was fixed on her phone, unable to pull away!

Her phone, which should have had no signal at all.

Now, in the upper right corner, it actually showed a full signal!

And there was also an indicator showing that the network was connected!

"There's... there's internet!"

Xiao Ruo said excitedly.

The other classmates curled their lips, not believing her at all.

"Are you hallucinating? We all checked this morning, there's no internet at all."

"What are you shouting about? Wei Ge said the signal base stations were destroyed, there's no way there's internet."

Xiao Ruo edited a text message and sent it to Li Chen.

Then she opened Douyin and showed it to the other classmates on the spot.

"Holy crap, what's going on? There's actually internet!"

"I want to go up and see too!"

This group of people usually lived a life of luxury.

At home, they had everything handed to them.

Now that the apocalypse had arrived.

Every single one of them was huddled in a dark, sunless cellar.

Gnawing on compressed biscuits, without even water to drink.

This they could barely endure.

But without a network signal, they couldn't even scroll through Douyin.

Losing their entertainment was what made them the most miserable.

The moment they heard there was a network.

Some of them opened Douyin and started watching happily.

Others opened various forums, wanting to see what was happening outside.

"Come and look, this seems to be a forum for a shelter in Donghai City!"

"Wow, look at the breakfast they're eating. Are you sure this wasn't taken before the apocalypse?"

"I'm drooling... Where in Donghai City is the shelter? I want to join too."

Since the first person discovered the Star-Level Shelter's forum.

The rest of them also clicked in one after another.

Currently, most of the posts in the forum were from residents of the Star-Level Shelter.

Some were showing off their breakfast.

Some were showing off their rooms.

If it weren't for the steel walls displayed everywhere.

Everyone would have thought this was life before the apocalypse!

The people present couldn't describe the feeling in their hearts.

Envy, jealousy, longing.

These emotions drove them to browse through one forum post after another.

They couldn't stop at all!

Everyone had only one thought in their hearts.

They wanted to join the Star Shelter.

After sending the text message, Xiao Ruo didn't receive a reply from Li Chen for a long time.

So she clicked on the forum's missing persons section.

Just as she was about to post.

Suddenly, a post caught her eye.

[Watching the Big Boss]

The person who posted it was a resident of the shelter.

They hadn't paid attention to the section when posting and put it in the wrong one.

Xiao Ruo clicked in to take a look.

Li Chen's figure appeared right before her eyes!

"Li Chen? He's in a Star-Level Shelter?" Xiao Ruo murmured to herself.

The classmates next to her, busy scrolling through posts, immediately started mocking her.

"Seriously, are you hallucinating?"

"Li Chen died outside ages ago!"

Xiao Ruo shook her head violently.

She held up her phone for the people next to her to see: "I really saw Li Chen."

There were over a dozen photos in the post.

Most of them were scenes of Li Chen leading the team to fight zombies yesterday.

There were also a few photos of Li Chen standing nearby watching when residents were registering.

It wasn't hard to see that Li Chen stood in the very center every time.

He was the leader of these people.

At this point, the other classmates were all stunned.

They all found the post and looked at it carefully.

"Could the person in charge of the Star Shelter be Li Chen?"

"How is that possible! This shelter looks incredibly valuable, where would Li Chen get the ability to build it?"

"Looking at these pictures, even if Li Chen isn't the person in charge, he's at least a minor leader."

"Am I the only one who thinks this is photoshopped?"

"It's already the apocalypse, who would be so bored as to photoshop a fake picture for a prank?"

At this, all the classmates fell silent.

They looked at each other!

From the large number of posts, they already knew that the Star-Level Shelter was located in Donghai City.

And since Li Chen could appear in the photos.

At least it showed that he had joined the Star-Level Shelter.

Even if Li Chen was just an ordinary shelter resident,

It was enough to make everyone present feel incredibly jealous and frustrated.

Why him?

That good-for-nothing Li Chen didn't even know how to act like a decent person.

He had angered Wei Ge!

They were still in the cellar, gnawing on dry, hard compressed biscuits.

Why could Li Chen eat steaming hot soup and noodles in a Star-Level Shelter?

Jealousy distorted people's faces.

Someone couldn't help but say bitterly,

"Fine, we're classmates, we're suffering here, and Li Chen just runs off to enjoy himself!"

"Exactly, at the very least, when he got to the Star-Level Shelter, he should have let us know."

"Now look, that kid went off to enjoy himself."

Those who originally had no ill will towards Li Chen

Now also had quite a few complaints.

At this moment, someone scrolled and found the application requirements for the Star-Level Shelter.

They immediately clicked in excitedly to check.

"Minors can join first!"

"Great! I'm still three months away from eighteen, hahahaha, I'm going to try."

"Bah, you guys are really ungrateful. Wei Ge kindly took you in, and now you actually want to run off?"

"Exactly, a bunch of ingrates!"

Among the classmates, some had started school early.

They were still a few months shy of eighteen.

They were all eager to submit their application forms.

As for those who didn't meet the requirements, they gathered around Yang Wei.

They were ashamed of the actions of these ingrates!

"Don't say that, people strive for higher places just as water flows downwards. The Star-Level Shelter looks like it has great conditions, it's understandable that everyone wants to go."

Yang Wei felt a mouthful of old blood stuck in his chest, almost ready to spray out.

But to maintain his persona,

He had to wear a hypocritical smile and try to persuade them.

Hearing Yang Wei's words, those who were applying felt even more justified.

Besides filling out basic information, the application form also required uploading a photo of the ID card.

Everything was reviewed by Noah.

So, no time for nonsense.

Almost as soon as the application was submitted, the result came back within minutes.

"What? It says I don't meet the requirements and the application wasn't approved?"

"Damn it! I'm clearly still a few months shy of eighteen, so why wasn't it approved?"

"This Star-Level Shelter sounds good, but there must be some shady dealings going on!"
