The photo on Shen Yi's phone screen showed a young girl wearing Lolita clothing.

She looked to be about 1.6 meters tall, not particularly tall, and her figure wasn't exactly sexy—a bit childlike, even. But her face was very cute with delicate features and fair skin, and the Lolita clothing added a touch of extra charm.

In particular, the glimpses of her tender white calves beneath the Lolita skirt, encased in a pair of white socks, were quite eye-catching.

In short, she was a very cute girl.

And being a freshman this year, she was very green.

Zhou Wan'er: "Big brother, is it really necessary for me to come over to find you? Can't there be another way... After all, the Black Fog is truly very dangerous. One of my roommates accidentally entered the Black Fog yesterday and never came back. (Voice message)"

Zhou Wan'er: "Big brother, please think of another way, I'm begging you. (Voice message)"

Zhou Wan'er's voice was lovely, a standard "loli" tone. Though she put on a bit of a sugary act, it wasn't too obvious; she controlled her voice well.

Someone who didn't know better might have thought she was a voice actress for an anime character.

Shen Yi: "So, you want me to risk my life to go find you? I provide the water, the food, and now you want me to provide delivery service to your door?"

Zhou Wan'er: "No, no, that's not what I meant... (Voice message)"

Zhou Wan'er: "I absolutely did not mean for you to take any risks! Big brother, please don't be angry. I apologize, I'm sorry... Please don't be mad, okay? (Voice message)"

Her voice was soft and sweet, and she was clearly skilled at acting coy.

Shen Yi: "Campus A, male dormitory, Room 606. If you can make it here, you'll have food and drink. If you can't, forget it."

After sending this reply, Shen Yi stopped paying attention to this little "green tea" girl.

He wasn't about to let his blood rush to his head just because the other person had a nice voice and called him "big brother" a few times.

Anyone with a brain could see what the girl was really after.

Isn't it just that she finds it dangerous and is afraid to go out?

She knows the Black Fog is dangerous, but do you think I don't?

Shen Yi had no intention of indulging this little manipulator.

In the apocalypse, one must never let the "little head" control the "big head," or you'll end up dead without even knowing how it happened.

As the Black Fog persisted, people's demand for water grew higher and higher.

A couple of days ago, Shen Yi's advertisements would get him roasted, cursed, and kicked out of groups. But in the last two days, things had completely flipped; people in the groups would tag him from time to time begging for water, and even the group admins started acting humble.

In short, Shen Yi had no trouble finding girls to take in.

In these few days, the mineral water in his warehouse had accumulated to hundreds of thousands of bottles... He couldn't even use it all up washing his face and feet every day!

That's right, washing his feet!

Others probably couldn't even imagine Shen Yi wasting water like this.

Actually, to him, it wasn't a waste; it was just his normal life. He wasn't intentionally pouring it out or throwing it away.

The time he deliberately poured out half a bottle of water was just to provoke Xu Wanting. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't waste water since it was his own resource after all.

Shen Yi lay on his bed, scrolling through the friend requests he had received, and noticed one from Xu Wanting.

It seemed even this arrogant goddess couldn't hold out any longer.

However, he wondered if she had made up her mind to give it a shot.

While pondering this, Shen Yi accepted Xu Wanting's friend request.

Campus B, female dormitory.

Inside a dormitory on the top floor.

A cute-looking girl was staring at her phone screen with her two roommates, looking at the chat history.

"This guy is a total straight man!" a short-haired girl remarked.

"More than just a straight man, he's a stone-cold, straight man! He has zero emotional intelligence! I bet he definitely doesn't have a girlfriend!" another long-haired girl complained harshly.

As for the other cute girl, the owner of the phone, Zhou Wan'er, was currently frowning, not knowing how to reply to Shen Yi's message.

It was safe to say the conversation had ended right there.

There was nothing left to talk about.

The other party clearly didn't want to play games and wasn't buying her cute act at all.

And yet, it had always worked in the past.

Just the day before yesterday, Zhou Wan'er had used this method to get a male classmate to bring her water, although that guy seemed to have died after walking into the Black Fog.

But she hadn't wanted that to happen; it wasn't her fault.

She had hoped that guy would make it there alive to bring her the water.

After that, it wasn't as if Zhou Wan'er hadn't contacted other boys who used to pursue her, but many could no longer be reached—she didn't know if they were already dead.

Those she could reach either had no food or water themselves, or they made various excuses to brush her off, which made Zhou Wan'er very angry.

Finally, by some stroke of luck, Zhou Wan'er saw Shen Yi posting messages in the group about taking in girls.

So she took the initiative to add him.

She specifically picked out her best photo and added a sweet voice message, hoping to get Shen Yi to bring her water and supplies.

As it turned out, she hadn't expected the guy to completely ignore her.

This was the first time Zhou Wan'er had hit a wall with a boy.

In the past, this approach had been foolproof.

It was truly frustrating.

"Xiao Yue, Xiao Mei, what do you think we should do now? The water is almost gone; what's left is enough for the three of us to drink only once more today," Zhou Wan'er asked hesitantly. She was truly afraid to go downstairs.

The screams from downstairs over the past two days had kept her from sleeping well.

The two roommates looked at each other, equally at a loss.

Although they all had the habit of storing snacks, they hadn't stored much water, and most of the snacks had been eaten. If there was no rescue, they would soon be starving.

"I'll try calling the police again!" The short-haired girl on the upper bunk picked up her phone and started dialing. At the same time, taking advantage of the fact that Zhou Wan'er and the long-haired girl were looking away, she quietly hid a bottle of drink inside her bedding.

With the mosquito net covering it, her hidden items wouldn't be easily discovered.

"I'm going to the bathroom. Wan'er, don't you go stealing the water, okay..." The long-haired girl walked out of the dorm with a smile. After checking that no one was following her, she hurried to the nearby restroom and moved her hidden snacks and half-bottle of mineral water to a more concealed spot.

She couldn't let anyone find them.

Seeing that her two roommates weren't paying attention to her, Zhou Wan'er used her small, white-socked feet to quietly kick a bottle of drink to the very back under her bed, while maintaining an expression of worry over their lack of water and food, sighing from time to time.

It was as if they were on the brink of total disaster.

In one tiny dormitory, three girls held hundreds of schemes.

And this situation was not uncommon.

As rescue remained delayed and supplies grew increasingly scarce, the moral compasses of the survivors were collapsing rapidly.

In some residential complexes, violent and bloody incidents had already broken out over supplies.

Disaster often brought out the darkness in the human heart.

At the same time,

Shen Yi also received a distress message from Xu Wanting.
