Monsters That Block Out the Sun

Hearing Ma Tianming's screams, several people rushed out of the gymnasium.

Leading them was Zhao Tao, wearing a red short-sleeved shirt.

Upon seeing Ma Tianming bound by vines, Zhao Tao and the others' faces changed drastically. They turned and ran back into the gymnasium.

Without hesitation, they abandoned Ma Tianming!

Ma Tianming, in extreme despair and pain, ended his own life...

Watching the bloody scene through the drone's aerial footage, Shen Yi and Xu Wanting felt a wave of nausea, almost throwing up!

"Damn Zhao Tao!"

Shen Yi cursed, his face as dark as charcoal.

He wasn't angry because Zhao Tao didn't save Ma Tianming. Ma Tianming's life or death had nothing to do with him; it was better that he died.

He was angry because Zhao Tao had tried to scheme against him!

That's right, Zhao Tao had tried to plot against Shen Yi before!

Knowing there were terrifying mutated plants outside the gymnasium, he still tried to trick Shen Yi into coming, even saying he would protect him.

Damn it, Zhao Tao was truly black-hearted!

Just you wait until I get a chance, I'll screw you over!

Shen Yi thought to himself, then said, "Let's recall the drone. It might be useful later."

Just as Shen Yi finished speaking, as the drone ascended and broke free from the black fog, a sharp bird cry suddenly blared from the remote control screen, so piercing it felt like it could split eardrums.

In the image, a giant bird swooped down from the sky. Its sharp talons grabbed the drone flying in the air and carried it into the sky.

Soon, the drone completely lost its picture and signal...

"Ah! Wh-what was that bird just now!? It was so huge!!"

Xu Wanting couldn't help but swallow, her face filled with terror.

Although she only saw a fleeting glimpse through the drone's camera, that feeling of it blocking out the sky... was that really a bird?

Even the largest eagle on Earth today wasn't as big as one of that giant bird's wings!

That was definitely a mutated monster!!

There were even more terrifying mutated monsters in the sky!!!

That terrifying giant bird instilled more fear and dread than the mutated dogs and mutated vines...

Thinking about such a terrifying giant bird in the sky now, Xu Wanting quickly retreated into her dorm, no longer daring to approach the balcony.

Even though the giant bird was flying very high, if it suddenly swooped down, there would be no time to dodge!

Its speed was too fast; the drone was snatched away in an instant!

"It seems even birds in the sky have mutated," Shen Yi said with a grim expression.

He had initially thought only the plants and animals on the ground covered by the black fog would mutate, but he hadn't expected birds to mutate as well.

Suppressing his complex emotions, Shen Yi looked again at the chat history with Ma Tianming.

"Colored fruit growing on non-mutated plants?"

Shen Yi opened Douyin, trying to search for related information.

He didn't believe that only Zhao Tao in the entire Xia Country had gained abilities; he wanted to see what others had to say.

As expected.

Someone had indeed posted a video.

"Family, I've awakened my superpowers! From now on, I won't eat beef!!"

In the video, a teenager about fifteen or sixteen years old, spouting arrogant remarks, raised his hand, and many metal objects around him flew up, hovering in the air!

With another wave of his hand, all the metal objects flew out, embedding themselves firmly into the wall!

If these were to hit a person, they would be severely injured, if not killed.

"What kind of ability is this? Telekinesis? Or Magneto? It feels a bit stronger than Zhao Tao's lightning ability."

Shen Yi continued to browse other videos.

But there weren't many people who openly showed off their superpowers like this.

As for the keywords "colored fruit," he couldn't find anything.

He didn't know if people who had gained abilities were keeping them secret, or if the platform had blocked the keywords...

"It's a shame the drone is gone; otherwise, we could have used it to find colored fruit," Shen Yi lamented inwardly.

For now, he needed to change dorm rooms.

Although his dorm number hadn't been exposed, he would need other women to find him later. What if a woman brought a group of people with her? Wouldn't that be dangerous for him?

So, In the future, he would give women a false address first. Only after confirming they were alone would he reveal himself.

I used to be too naive, not cautious enough.

But after being threatened by Ma Tianming, Shen Yi's vigilance had increased severalfold.

From now on, no matter what I do, I must be prudent! Cautious! Careful!

I must remember these six principles!!

"Xu Wanting, pack your things, we're moving to another dorm."

"Huh? Why?"

Xu Wanting, who had just finished drinking water, was a bit confused and instinctively asked.

"Don't ask, just pack your things."

"Okay, I'll pack them right away!"

Seeing Shen Yi's expression change, Xu Wanting didn't dare to ask further.

She still subconsciously slipped into her old persona sometimes.

If a guy dared to talk to her like this before, ordering her around casually, Xu Wanting would have gotten angry and retorted!

She came from a privileged background, never had to struggle, and was very accomplished. In a normal society, she would indeed have the right to be arrogant.

But unfortunately, This is no longer the past.

And Shen Yi was definitely not the type to fawn over others.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Wanting had helped him unlock new supplies and had been obedient today, he would have abandoned her without hesitation.

In the apocalypse, bringing a woman along was mostly a burden.

After packing their things, Shen Yi took Xu Wanting to dorm 610, which was three rooms away from 606.

This location conveniently avoided the two dorms that might have people in them, and it was close to the stairwell, allowing for a quick escape from the sixth floor if danger arose.

Just as Shen Yi was prying open the door, a voice came from behind him. He turned around.

He saw that at the end of the hallway, the door to dorm 601 suddenly opened.

He immediately became alert, gripping his fruit knife and staring at the open door.

Dorm 601 was one of the dorms suspected to have people in it.

"Uh, classmate, don't be rash! I'm human!"

A person emerged from dorm 601. It was a short boy wearing glasses.

Seeing the knife in Shen Yi's hand, he quickly called out, afraid of being mistaken for a threat.

"Something wrong?" Shen Yi remained vigilant, still holding the knife.

Although they lived on the same floor, Shen Yi didn't recognize this boy.

He usually went out to work part-time, so he didn't have time to make friends.

"It's like this, classmate, do you have any water left? I can trade food for it!" the boy said urgently.

If he hadn't been running out of water, he wouldn't have dared to risk coming out to talk to a stranger.

In this situation, people could be more dangerous than monsters!

He was also a bit of a shut-in who had read many apocalypse novels and watched many movies, so he considered himself experienced.

"Are you alone?" Shen Yi asked, eyeing the door of dorm 601 warily.

"Yeah, yeah, just me. And I don't have any weapons, so you don't need to worry!"

Although the boy had consumed a lot of apocalypse fiction, he clearly hadn't learned anything practical.

With that one sentence, he had revealed all his vulnerabilities.

If Shen Yi had a darker disposition, he could easily coerce the boy into giving up his food, or even kill him.

Just then.

The door to dorm 603 also suddenly creaked open
