Discovery of an Ability Fruit!

"Hello classmates... Don't be scared, I'm not hostile!"

The door to dorm room 603 opened.

A guy about Shen Yi's height, but a bit fatter, with dyed yellow hair, appeared.

"I overheard you talking and saw you weren't bad people, so I came out to see if we could team up," the yellow-haired student said with a smile, seemingly trying to build rapport.

"It's the apocalypse now, after all. There's safety in numbers..."

"So, brothers, wanna team up?"

Shen Yi and the bespectacled guy didn't say anything.

The bespectacled guy stood guard at the doorway, ready to bolt back into the dorm if any danger arose.

In this situation, who would trust a stranger and team up with them?

What a joke!

"Come on, we're all classmates from the same school. You don't have to be so distrustful, do you? Do you think I'd kill someone? I'm too scared to even kill a chicken. I believe you guys wouldn't kill anyone either, right? Otherwise, you'd go to jail." The yellow-haired guy said, sounding exasperated.

Whether he was naturally gregarious or had ulterior motives, Shen Yi wasn't going to trust him.

Anyone who trusts him is an idiot!

But the bespectacled guy was clearly swayed.

It made sense.

It was only the fifth day of the apocalypse. Most people still had their morals and wouldn't go crazy enough to kill.

"Um, do you have any water? I'd like to trade some food for water," the bespectacled guy asked the yellow-haired guy cautiously.

The current situation was that Shen Yi held a knife, and there were two of them, giving them a significant advantage.

The bespectacled guy was more afraid of Shen Yi. If possible, he'd rather trade with the yellow-haired guy.

At least the yellow-haired student didn't have a knife in his hand.

"Uh, I ran out of water too, that's why I wanted to team up with you guys and leave the dorm together," the yellow-haired guy said, scratching his head sheepishly.

"I see..." The bespectacled guy could only look back at Shen Yi.

That tall beauty next to this classmate had a backpack, maybe she had water.

Speaking of which, why was there a girl in a male dorm?

Could she be this classmate's girlfriend?

She's so beautiful...

That figure, Those legs, Paired with those mid-calf white stockings, it was practically anime-level, ahhh!!

The bespectacled guy restrained his gaze with unusual self-control, preventing himself from staring at Xu Wanting's long legs.

The yellow-haired guy also snuck a few glances.

It couldn't be helped; her figure was too attractive to men.

Shen Yi naturally noticed their gazes. His wariness intensified. After weighing the situation, he felt that with just one knife, even if he could kill both of them, he might get injured himself.

Getting injured in the apocalypse without medicine would most likely be fatal.

So, there was no need to fight desperately...

Besides, they hadn't shown any hostility towards him yet.

He could even take this opportunity to develop his strength.

He had initially planned to refuse the bespectacled guy's trade offer, but on second thought, he could agree.

If he refused, and the bespectacled guy got too thirsty, he might team up with the yellow-haired guy and attack him.

But if they traded, as long as the bespectacled guy wasn't desperate, he definitely wouldn't team up with the yellow-haired student.

The plan was to divide and conquer.

With that in mind, Shen Yi looked at the bespectacled guy and said, "My girlfriend and I don't have much water either, only about a bottle and a half left, but we can give you half a bottle for a trade."

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you! Thank you, big brother!!"

The bespectacled guy nodded excitedly.

Half a bottle of water, if he drank it sparingly, along with his own urine, he could last for several more days!

If he was lucky, maybe he could hold out until rescue arrived.

Shen Yi walked over, holding his knife.

Xu Wanting quickly followed.

The yellow-haired guy, being tactful, moved aside.

Just then, He couldn't help but lick his lips as he looked at Xu Wanting's tall, retreating figure, a hint of desire hidden in his eyes.

"Damn, she's so hot!"

"Those legs, I could play with them for a year!"

Of course, he only thought these things.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to cause trouble, especially since he saw Shen Yi had a knife in his hand.

Entering dorm room 601.

A strange smell assaulted them.

Xu Wanting couldn't help but cover her nose with her hand, frowning as she thought about complaining.

Why did this guy make the dorm smell so bad?

Did he poop in the dorm?

In comparison, Shen Yi's dorm could be considered clean and hygienic.

"Really, not only is he ugly, but he's also so slovenly! It's disgusting!" Xu Wanting grumbled to herself.

It was a good thing Shen Yi was clean.

Otherwise, she didn't know if she could stand it.

"Um, cough cough, the dorm isn't very tidy, please don't mind," the bespectacled guy said with an awkward smile.

He also knew the dorm didn't smell great.

There was no helping it, as they had been short on water these past few days, he hadn't washed his feet, brushed his teeth, or washed his face, not to mention his bodily functions... in short, it was a bit embarrassing.

Especially since such a beautiful woman was seeing his awkward side, he felt so embarrassed he could dig a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with his toes.

Shen Yi remained silent, because his first glance was drawn to the potted plants on the windowsill!

He didn't know what kind of plants were in those pots, but they had already bloomed and were very beautiful.

However, what caught Shen Yi's attention wasn't the beauty of the flowers, but the fact that in the center of one of the pink flowers, there was a colorful fruit!

The fruit was very small, only about the size of a pinky finger, and was inconspicuous in the center of the flower.

Shen Yi subtly withdrew his gaze, pretending to survey the dorm, not revealing his excited inner state, and said, "What food will you trade for?"

"I have self-heating hot pot, instant noodles in various flavors, and bread, spicy strips... What do you need?"

The bespectacled guy took out all his supplies and laid them on the bed for Shen Yi to choose from.

"Let me see," Shen Yi said, appearing to choose very seriously, but in reality, he was thinking about how to get his hands on that colorful fruit.

If Ma Tianming wasn't lying, eating this fruit would likely grant an ability!

Xu Wanting frowned deeply, covering her nose.

She really didn't understand why Shen Yi wanted to trade for food.

Since he had superpowers, couldn't he just conjure whatever he wanted to eat? Why trade?

And this guy's place smelled so bad, she wondered if eating his food would give her diarrhea...

Having only enjoyed a few good days, Xu Wanting was already starting to look down on junk food.

"I'll just take two packs of the spicy flavored instant noodles," Shen Yi said after choosing for a long time, seemingly very seriously.

"Wanting, get a bottle of water."

"Mm-hmm."

Xu Wanting obediently took out half a bottle of water from her backpack.

The bespectacled guy casually glanced over and saw that the beauty's bag really only had one bottle of water left, though she still had quite a few snacks. It seemed this guy hadn't lied to him.

What a good person!

Even though he didn't have much water himself, he was willing to trade with him, which clearly meant he was helping him!

The bespectacled guy's good impression of Shen Yi instantly soared!

"Oh right, classmate, your potted plants look quite nice, could you give me two? My girlfriend really likes potted plants," Shen Yi suddenly said.

"Sure, no problem! They're all grown by my roommate anyway, and he probably doesn't want them anymore..." The bespectacled guy generously let Shen Yi pick whatever he wanted, not thinking much of it.

He couldn't keep them alive anyway, as he didn't have extra water for useless flowers.

"Wanting, don't you like potted plants? Go pick two, let's take them back to the dorm to grow."

"Huh? Oh! Okay! I love potted plants the most..."

Xu Wanting was dazed, not understanding why Shen Yi suddenly said she liked potted plants.

But her mind worked quickly, and she knew Shen Yi wanted the potted plants.

So she played along and went to pick them out.
