The Death of Ma Tianming

Shen Yi from the Foreign Languages department: "We've arrived. If you're outside the gymnasium, you should be able to hear the drone."

Ma Tianming from the Sports department: "I hear it, I hear it! Right above me, hurry and bring it down!"

Shen Yi from the Foreign Languages department: "Don't rush, tell me the answer first."

While sending the message, Shen Yi looked at Xu Wanting in his arms and said, "Lower the drone a bit, but not too much. Just enough for people below the black fog to see it."

"Mhm..." Xu Wanting's cheeks flushed, her lips parted slightly as she panted. She adjusted her posture and began to control the drone to descend.

In the black fog.

A well-built young man stared intently at the dense black fog overhead, licking his chapped lips.

This was Ma Tianming.

He had privately arranged this trade with Shen Yi, without telling Zhao Tao.

Otherwise, he would have to share the water with Zhao Tao!

Besides, Zhao Tao was unwilling to share the method of obtaining abilities with others; he didn't want anyone else to gain abilities.

But Ma Tianming didn't care about all that. He was dying of thirst, why would he keep secrets for Zhao Tao!

He wasn't getting any benefits himself!

"Faster! Faster!"

Ma Tianming muttered, glancing back at the gymnasium from time to time.

If anyone else found out, it would be trouble.

Moreover, Zhao Tao had said there were monsters in the black fog. If he was targeted by a monster, it would be troublesome. He needed to get the water quickly!

Soon.

The outline of a drone appeared in the sky.

Several bottles of mineral water were hanging below it.

Ma Tianming from the Sports department: "I see it! Lower it a bit more! A bit more!!"

Shen Yi from the Foreign Languages department: "The answer."

The more anxious Ma Tianming became, the more unhurried Shen Yi was.

From beginning to end, Shen Yi held the advantage in this transaction.

He wasn't short on water, and losing a few bottles wouldn't affect him.

Most of what he had said earlier was to make Ma Tianming think he was in a hurry, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get any information.

Now was the time to control him.

A dehydrated person, upon seeing water, would only become more desperate, even losing the ability to judge calmly.

Ma Tianming from the Sports department: "Let me get the water first!! What if you go back on your word again?"

Shen Yi from the Foreign Languages department: "I'll say the same to you. If I give you the water, what if you go back on your word?"

Ma Tianming from the Sports department: "You damn!!!"

Ma Tianming licked his chapped lips, clenching his phone in anger, and hesitated.

He was genuinely afraid this guy would break his promise!

But he was also truly thirsty...

Staring up at the life-saving water source that was almost within reach, he gritted his teeth and started typing.

Ma Tianming from the Sports department: "I can tell you the answer first, but you absolutely cannot go back on your word! Otherwise, I'll tell Zhao Tao and have him bring people to cause trouble for you!"

Ma Tianming from the Sports department: "Most of us here are sports students. Even if you somehow managed to gain an ability, you wouldn't be able to take on dozens of students!"

Shen Yi from the Foreign Languages department: "Don't worry, I don't want to make an enemy of you either."

Although he said this, killing intent had already arisen in Shen Yi's heart.

Daring to threaten him meant they truly wanted to cause trouble for him. Such people absolutely could not be kept alive!

It was fortunate he hadn't revealed his dorm number to Ma Tianming.

The dormitory building was so large that even if he got in, it wouldn't be easy for him to find him.

But to be safe, he would switch dorms later...

If he had the ability for long-range sniping, Shen Yi would have wanted to kill Ma Tianming directly to eliminate any future trouble!

Although he had never killed anyone, if someone threatened his safety, Shen Yi would not hesitate to kill them!

This was the determination required to survive in the apocalypse!

Ma Tianming from the Sports department: "It's a kind of colorful fruit that grows on non-mutated plants."

Ma Tianming from the Sports department: "I'm not lying to you. Zhao Tao ate one of those fruits, and after a few dozen seconds, he suddenly gained a lightning ability!"

Shen Yi: "Alright, I hope you haven't lied to me. Otherwise, I'll tell Zhao Tao about our transaction. I believe Zhao Tao won't keep a roommate who betrayed him, right?"

Ma Tianming from the Sports department: "..."

He would threaten, and Shen Yi would threaten too.

And, threats that hit the nail on the head!

Shen Yi looked at Xu Wanting and said, "Lower the drone, give him the mineral water... As for the drone, if you can retrieve it, do so. If not, forget it."

He had also considered breaking the deal.

But then he thought, if Ma Tianming told Zhao Tao about the transaction, Zhao Tao might come looking for trouble to get the secret of the abilities.

Judging by Zhao Tao's secretive behavior, he didn't want anyone else to know how to obtain abilities.

What a greedy guy.

"Okay!"

Xu Wanting began to slowly lower the drone.

Before the drone even landed, the thirsty Ma Tianming snatched the mineral water.

Then, He immediately twisted open a bottle and gulped it down.

He looked so parched, as if he was going crazy from thirst!

No wonder he had been so wary for so long, and then let his guard down during the final transaction.

It was because he was too thirsty to bother haggling with Shen Yi anymore!

Seeing this, Xu Wanting couldn't help but sigh.

This was probably the daily life of most survivors...

People like Shen Yi, who didn't lack food or drink, were too few.

Thinking of this, Xu Wanting also felt a sense of relief.

Now that she was following Shen Yi, she didn't have to worry about food or drink and could just wait for rescue.

Although Shen Yi liked to touch her legs and chest...

The feeling of being touched was actually quite pleasant!

"Ah!"

Xu Wanting suddenly screamed, startling Shen Yi, who was engrossed in examining her body.

"Shen Yi, you, you look quickly!"

Shen Yi immediately looked at the drone screen.

He saw, Several thick vines suddenly extended from the black fog, binding Ma Tianming like a rice dumpling, tightly wrapping him and dragging him into the black fog.

"Wh-what's going on?"

Two minutes earlier.

Ma Tianming finished a bottle of water in one go, and he was so refreshed he almost cried out.

He glanced at the remaining two bottles of water and decided to hide them so Zhao Tao and the others wouldn't find them.

In addition, He needed to find a way to get more water from this Shen Yi!

He didn't believe Shen Yi only had these few bottles of water. After all, if he were in Shen Yi's shoes and only had three bottles, he would never give them to anyone else.

He was very sure that Shen Yi definitely had many more bottles of water!

But how could he get the water from Shen Yi?

Perhaps he could discuss it with Zhao Tao, subtly hint at some information, and given Zhao Tao's personality, he might not be able to resist the temptation and would cause trouble for Shen Yi.

Then he could pretend to be on Shen Yi's side, threaten and entice him to give him water... and then take the opportunity to deal with Shen Yi to prevent Shen Yi from revealing their transaction.

Yes, that's it!

Win-win!!

I'm such a genius!!!

As Ma Tianming excitedly thought this, he didn't notice that behind him, in the black fog, vines like living things spread out, silently reaching behind him.

When he felt a chill on his back, he subconsciously turned around, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

Reflected in Ma Tianming's pupils, countless vines lunged at him, coiling around his body.

He wanted to escape, but it was too late.

"Help! Help me!!!"

"It hurts! It hurts so much!!!"

Ma Tianming screamed and struggled violently.

But the vines were incredibly strong. The more he struggled, the tighter they squeezed, turning Ma Tianming's skin purple, his face flushed, and his breathing labored.

Although he was still struggling, it seemed to be of no use.

The vines tightened around his body, and as blood circulation was cut off, his entire face turned red and then purple. The flesh on his body was also torn by the sharp vines, and bright red blood flowed out, staining his clothes and dripping onto the vines...

Even more terrifying was that as soon as his blood dripped onto the vines, it was directly absorbed, disappearing without a trace.

The vines seemed to become more excited after absorbing the blood, tightening their grip on Ma Tianming's body with increasing force, causing his entire body to gradually split open, with flesh and bones of various colors splashing everywhere
