Jiangnan Yan looked at the mature woman who had spoken and nodded earnestly, "Yes, Teacher Bai is right. Although Xu Wanting and I are very close friends, we still need to be careful."
"Besides, it's a long walk from the teaching building to the dormitory building. There might be Mutant Dogs in the Black Fog downstairs, so we have to be cautious."
"We should find some weapons to carry with us in case we run into danger."
"Yeah, exactly! We girls are delicate, after all, not strong like those stinking men!"
A chubby girl weighing over 160 pounds nodded in agreement and cursed indignantly:
"Those stinking men always talk about 'ladies first' and claim they'd prioritize protecting women and children in a disaster, but now that the apocalypse is actually here, not a single man has come to protect us!"
"A bunch of stinking scumbags!"
"I don't think men should even exist in this world! If they didn't, we girls would definitely live much happier lives..."
Listening to the chubby girl's incessant rambling, Jiangnan Yan and Teacher Bai exchanged a helpless smile but did not respond.
Although they didn't particularly like men, they had never wished for them to cease existing entirely.
Disliking them was simply a matter of personal preference, which had nothing to do with whether they should exist or not.
The three of them packed their things, carefully opened the door, and stepped out.
There were many other survivors hiding in the other classrooms.
When some heard footsteps in the hallway, they poked their heads out one by one.
Upon seeing beautiful women, the eyes of many male survivors lit up.
Rescue had yet to arrive, emergency calls wouldn't go through, and food and water had long since run out; by now, most survivors were on the verge of a breakdown.
They were currently facing a moral dilemma: either go out to find food or steal it from others.
But clearly, most people were too afraid to go outside.
Because most of the people who had left the building over the past two days had died in the Black Fog.
The few who occasionally returned were terrified, as if they had seen some horrific monster!
And those who managed to bring back food and water alive were even fewer...
When food and water could no longer meet everyone's basic needs, chaos began to erupt.
Furthermore, Because officials had yet to appear, the evil impulses in some people's hearts began to fester.
Since no one cares when people die, surely no one will care if I do something bad!
Consequently, students with malicious intent began to target women, even resorting to force.
Without the constraints of morality and law, there is no bottom line to human behavior.
Just like how Shen Yi used supplies to take in women.
But compared to those who killed and raped, he still had a bottom line...
However, some survivors without any moral compass began to secretly follow Jiangnan Yan and her group.
Jiangnan Yan: "We've left the building and are heading toward the dorms."
Jiangnan Yan: "I wanted to ask, there shouldn't be any danger near the dormitory building, right?"
Little Bunny Obedient: "None. I've gone in and out a few times, and there's no danger inside the dormitory building, but I don't know about the areas further away."
Jiangnan Yan: "Alright."
Little Bunny Obedient: "I'm on the sixth floor. Just come straight up when you arrive."
Jiangnan Yan: "OK."
After replying to Jiangnan Yan's message, Xu Wanting felt a twinge of guilt.
How could there be no danger outside the dormitory building?
She had seen a man-eating Mutant Dog with her own eyes!
But in order to lure Jiangnan Yan over, she had no choice but to follow Shen Yi's previous instructions and continue lying.
If Jiangnan Yan was unlucky enough to run into that Mutant Dog, she couldn't blame her...
She had only said there was no danger inside the dormitory, not that there was no danger outside.
"Good, keep communicating with your friend. If you can get a friend to come over, I'll reward you with two Roast Chickens, but it must be a female friend, and she can't be ugly," Shen Yi said with satisfaction.
"Okay!"
Xu Wanting's eyes lit up instantly.
The taste of the Roast Chicken was truly delicious!
But she only ever got to eat Shen Yi's leftovers, which was never enough to satisfy her hunger.
If calling a friend over could earn her two whole Roast Chickens, it was definitely worth it!
Besides, she couldn't refuse Shen Yi's demands anyway, so why not fight for some benefits for herself?
Two Roast Chickens would be enough for her to eat comfortably for two or three days!
With that, Xu Wanting immediately picked up her phone and started making WeChat calls to the other friends who hadn't replied to her messages.
Shen Yi watched Xu Wanting bustling about in a flurry of activity, not at all surprised.
This was one of the reasons why he controlled the supplies.
Only by keeping Xu Wanting from being fully fed would she have the motivation to work and be obedient.
If food were overflowing, she certainly wouldn't be as motivated as she was now.
She might even, act like she did last night, actually trying to play little mind games with him!
She wanted to drain him dry, yet wouldn't let him chat with other women, or even let him come into contact with other women!
What a joke!
Did she think they were dating? She wanted to restrict his personal freedom?
She really thought too highly of herself!
How could Shen Yi give up on unlocking system supplies for the sake of a single tree?
And so, Shen Yi punished Xu Wanting for overstepping her bounds, letting her eat only the bones he had gnawed clean for the morning.
Want to eat meat or other food? No way!
Shen Yi added quite a few more friends today.
He wanted to screen as many girls who met the system's criteria as possible before the internet and electricity were cut off.
Judging by the current situation, it was estimated that the network and power wouldn't last much longer.
After all, in a doomsday disaster, with no one to maintain the power generation equipment, problems were highly likely to occur.
Moreover, with all sorts of mutated plants and animals causing trouble, the probability of failure was even higher.
To be honest, Shen Yi was already quite surprised that the internet and electricity had lasted for six days.
This was perhaps also the reason why survivors still believed the authorities would come to their rescue.
Counselor Wang Jiaxing: "@Shen Yi, Student Shen, are you there? Could you please reply to my message?"
Counselor Wang Jiaxing: "Student Shen, I know you can see my messages. The students in our class are all in need of your help right now. I see that you've been posting messages in many groups, which proves that you must have plenty of water and food, right? So, could you take out a portion to help your classmates and teachers?"
Counselor Wang Jiaxing: "Of course, we won't ask you to help for free. I can personally offer five hundred yuan, just consider it as buying from you. Since you have so much food and water, just sell some to your teacher! While making money, you'll also be doing a good deed that benefits social solidarity!"
School Heartthrob Lin Yu: "@Shen Yi, Counselor Wang is right. Shen Yi, please help us out. We are all classmates in the same class. It would be understandable if you didn't help others, but not helping your own classmates is just too stingy!"
Qin Haoran: "+1, I am also willing to offer five hundred yuan. Student Shen, if you have extra water, please sell us a few bottles."
Jin Rui: "@Shen Yi, speak up! I know you're online!"
Wang Lili: "Um, I also saw the messages Student Shen Yi posted in the neighboring group. Since Student Shen is willing to take in girls, you must be a kind-hearted person. Could you please help us too?"
Ma Hong: "I remember Shen Yi always had a good personality; he shouldn't be the type to stand by and watch people die..."
Teacher Qi (Associate Professor): "Student Shen Yi, although he is usually very quiet, he really is a good kid."
These were the messages in the class group.
Shen Yi only clicked in to take a look after seeing people constantly tagging him.
As it turned out, the counselor was inexplicably tagging him to buy water and food, and then all the students started tagging him, reaching out for water and food as if they had planned it together.
Shen Yi was amused by this group of classmates and their moral kidnapping.
