Time flowed on.

Another night had passed.

Today was the sixth day of the apocalypse.

Rescue had still not arrived.

Social order was on the verge of collapse.

Many survivors were fighting each other for a mouthful of food or a bottle of water.

Arson, murder, robbery, rape, and plunder – these evils, which would never openly appear in Xia Country, were now almost everywhere.

A little past eleven o'clock, in dormitory 610.

Shen Yi was naked, gnawing on roast chicken, while Xu Wanting watched him from the side, looking like a child who had misbehaved.

"Show me your phone."

Shen Yi finished the chicken leg in his hand, drank some mineral water, then took a few tissues to wipe his hands, and looked at Xu Wanting.

"What do you want to see?"

"Open WeChat, I want to see how your best friend replied to you."

Shen Yi wanted to check if Xu Wanting had obediently messaged her best friend.

If she hadn't listened, it would prove she had ulterior motives!

Ulterior motives meant she might betray him!

Shen Yi wouldn't keep a woman who wanted to betray him.

Even if she served him very well, he was being rational now that he was in a post-coital calm!

"Only one person replied, the others didn't." Xu Wanting unlocked her phone, tapped into the WeChat interface, and handed it over.

Although she felt very uncomfortable and jealous, she didn't dare to refuse again.

Shen Yi took the phone and said, "Come and eat. Remember, don't have any more thoughts from last night."

"Mhm! I definitely won't make you angry again!" Xu Wanting nodded repeatedly, then ran over to rummage through the bones Shen Yi had left, gnawing on any meat she found.

She looked like she had been hungry all morning.

Shen Yi browsed Xu Wanting's WeChat. She had obediently messaged over a dozen WeChat friends, but only one girl, noted as "Jiangnan Yan," had replied.

Shen Yi tapped into Jiangnan Yan's moments and flipped through a few pages, finding the girl's photo.

His eyes lit up slightly.

She was very beautiful!

From her face, she had a mature, sophisticated aura.

And the photo showed no signs of Photoshop or skin whitening.

As for why the system hadn't triggered a notification, it was because Shen Yi had tested it before. The system wouldn't trigger a notification for just a photo unless the photo was sent to Shen Yi by the person themselves, and it had to be a photo of the person. If there was any Photoshop or beauty filters, it wouldn't trigger a notification.

This also saved Shen Yi from being fooled by a deceptive photo!

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yi used Xu Wanting's account to send Jiangnan Yan a message.

Little Bunny Obedient: "Mhm, I have water and food here. Come find me."

Little Bunny Obedient was Xu Wanting's online username.

Xu Wanting peeked from the side, feeling very depressed.

Her boyfriend was hitting on her best friend, and she still had to help.

Was this considered self-cuckolding?

Jiangnan Yan: "Really? Wanting, where are you? I haven't eaten anything for almost two days."

Little Bunny Obedient: "My friend and I are in the male dormitory at Campus A. It's very safe here right now. Come find me!"

While replying, Shen Yi deliberately took a few photos of mineral water and roast chicken and sent them to the girl.

Jiangnan Yan: "Wow!! You have so much water, and cooked chicken!"

Little Bunny Obedient: "Mhm, do you want to come over? Based on our past relationship, I can take care of you."

Jiangnan Yan: "The male dormitory... it's a bit far from me."

Jiangnan Yan: "Um, Wanting, if I come to find you, can I bring two friends?"

Little Bunny Obedient: "Male or female? Everyone here is female. If you bring your boyfriend, I'm afraid my friends might mind."

Seeing this message from Shen Yi, Xu Wanting couldn't help but secretly despise him.

He was clearly driven by lust but pretending to be pure.

Disgusting!

But she only dared to complain in her heart.

Because she was jealous last night and acted out, trying to drain Shen Yi, he punished her by not letting her eat or drink all morning.

If she angered Shen Yi again, she might actually be kicked out.

The thought of the monsters outside and the lecherous gazes the two boys on the sixth floor had given her made her terrified!

Although Shen Yi was a playboy, he at least had superpowers, ensuring she wouldn't have to worry about food or water.

Plus, he had become even more handsome and durable.

His abs and chest muscles felt really good to the touch.

In contrast, she really didn't want to interact with the other two smelly boys; seeing them made her sick!

Xu Wanting was still as arrogant as ever; her personality, cultivated since childhood, wouldn't change so easily.

However, the object of her arrogance was no longer Shen Yi.

Jiangnan Yan: "All my friends are girls, how could I possibly have a boyfriend? I'm also worried that men might have ill intentions towards us, especially since there are no laws to restrain them now."

Jiangnan Yan: "Wanting, why would you ask a question like that?"

Asked a question like that?

Shen Yi was taken aback and looked at Xu Wanting.

Did the two of them have some little secret? Or a code word?

"What does that mean?"

"Jiangnan Yan is a bit into girls, and she kind of dislikes men, so she would definitely not look for a boyfriend. Your question just now made her suspicious. If it were me, I wouldn't ask that question, especially since I used to tease her about her sexual orientation all the time," Xu Wanting explained.

Shen Yi understood and continued typing to coax her.

Whether she was into girls or disliked men, Shen Yi only cared about unlocking supplies!

He wasn't pursuing any kind of romance or affection.

In the apocalypse, who still played by the rules of pure love!

Little Bunny Obedient: "Of course, I know your orientation, but my friend was worried about you being with guys, so I asked that extra question."

Little Bunny Obedient: "Since your friends aren't guys, then bring them over. It's very safe here."

Jiangnan Yan: "Okay, we'll pack up and head over then."

Shen Yi slowly smiled.

As expected.

Using Xu Wanting's account to trick her friends was much more efficient than him searching blindly!

The reason was simple: a beautiful girl's friends were likely to be beautiful girls too.

And since they were close friends, it would definitely be easier to fool them than strangers.

As for Jiangnan Yan's friends, it depended on how they looked.

If they met the system's standards, Shen Yi would hit the jackpot!

It would be like getting two for the price of one!

If they didn't meet the standards, then they'd be kicked out!

They were just two female college students anyway. With Shen Yi's current strength, he could handle more than two adult men, let alone women.

Body Evolution had brought him immense improvements.

After a night of adaptation, he felt he could now handle four or five adults!

Meanwhile, On the other side, In an office within a teaching building.

Three girls were talking and packing their belongings.

"Nanyan, what kind of person is your friend? She won't trick us, right?" a chubby girl asked with some suspicion.

"No, she won't. Although her personality isn't great, and she can be arrogant and selfish sometimes, she wouldn't go so far as to trick a friend. Besides, what do I have now that's worth her tricking me for?" a very beautiful girl with delicate features sighed.

"Honestly, I never expected her to contact me proactively, let alone offer to share food with us."

"Maybe I misjudged her before. She's not that selfish after all... Times of disaster reveal true character."

"I see, that's good then! I'm starving to death! Let's head over quickly!" The chubby girl nodded excitedly, then couldn't help but complain, "I just don't know why your friend went to the boys' dorm, such a disgusting place! Just thinking about all those boys living there makes me feel nauseous!"

"I don't know, maybe there's something dangerous in the girls' dorm?"

Jiangnan Yan was also a little confused, vaguely feeling that something was off about Xu Wanting.

But her stomach was too empty; hunger left her with no energy to ponder those details.

Their food had long since run out, and they had been surviving on hunger for the past two days. If Xu Wanting hadn't messaged her last night, Jiangnan Yan would have prepared to venture out for food herself.

"One should not harbor ill intentions, but one must also guard against them. In the current situation outside, we still need to be cautious,"

At this moment, A mature woman wearing glasses next to them spoke up.
