Mutated Animals, Xu Wanting Arrives

Xu Wanting: "Help me!!"

Xu Wanting: "There are monsters downstairs! There are monsters!!!!"

"What monsters?"

Shen Yi immediately typed a question as he looked at the rescue message Xu Wanting sent.

[Xu Wanting sent you a video]

Shen Yi opened the video. It was a short video, about ten seconds long.

The screen showed thick black fog with very low visibility, but the scene could vaguely be made out as outside the building.

And within the dense black fog, there was a giant yellow stray dog. The dog's limbs were muscular, its eyes were blood red, and it looked quite bloodthirsty.

Its scarlet eyes glanced at Xu Wanting, who was filming the video. This caused Xu Wanting to let out a scream, but the dog didn't approach her. It picked up a mangled corpse from the ground and turned, walking back into the black fog.

Perhaps because it had food, the stray dog didn't attack Xu Wanting.

Shen Yi recognized this stray dog. Before the black fog descended, it often roamed the school. It was a stray that many university students fed, and it lived quite comfortably.

But for some unknown reason, its size had become so enormous, three to four times larger than a normal dog, with bulging muscles!

And it ate people!

"As expected, animals have mutated too..." After watching the video, Shen Yi's expression turned grave. This disaster was indeed more dangerous than he had imagined.

In that case, what his grandmother and younger sister had said on the phone about the neighbor's dog eating people was also true.

Both animals and plants were mutating!

Was it because of the black fog?

He wondered if humans would mutate too...

Or, was it possible that humans awakening abilities was part of the mutation?

Shen Yi's mind raced with guesses, but he didn't forget to message Xu Wanting: "While that dog isn't attacking you, get upstairs as quickly as possible. Don't waste time."

Xu Wanting: "Ah!? Aren't you coming down to get me?"

Shen Yi didn't reply to Xu Wanting's question.

He had no intention of venturing out in the first place, and now that he saw a mutated, man-eating animal downstairs, he was even less likely to go down.

Moreover, Just now, Zhao Tao from the Sports Department, who had awakened an ability, had added him as a friend!

Shen Yi naturally seized the opportunity to chat with Zhao Tao, wanting to find out how the other person obtained his ability.

Zhao Tao from the Sports Department: "Bro, do you need protection? You know my strength. With me around, you don't have to worry about others snatching your supplies!"

Zhao Tao from the Sports Department: "In the face of disaster, we survivors should help each other. I've already gathered dozens of classmates. If you need help too, bring your supplies and come find me. I'm at the gymnasium on Campus A!"

[Zhao Tao sent you a video]

The video showed dozens of students gathered together, looking quite harmonious.

Zhao Tao from the Sports Department: "By the way, bro, you still have supplies, right? I saw you posting in the group chat earlier."

Calling him "bro" repeatedly, he sounded quite bold.

But Shen Yi saw through Zhao Tao's words, realizing the other party clearly wanted his supplies.

Perhaps he was offering protection, but in the apocalypse, Shen Yi trusted himself more!

Without absolute strength, he wouldn't easily trust anyone else's protection.

Shen Yi from the Foreign Languages Department: "I still have a few bottles of water."

Zhao Tao from the Sports Department: "Great! That's great, bro! Come to the gymnasium now, let's meet up first. There's strength in numbers, and then we'll find supplies together and wait for rescue!"

Zhao Tao from the Sports Department: "Believe me, bro, you've probably read apocalypse novels. Only by uniting can we survivors find a way out! With my lightning ability protecting us, you don't need to fear ordinary monsters!"

Shen Yi from the Foreign Languages Department: "Okay, I'll pack my supplies and come meet you now... But I'm a bit curious, how did you get such a powerful ability? Can you reveal it? Maybe if I'm lucky, I can awaken an ability too, and then it will be easier to fight mutated monsters."

Zhao Tao from the Sports Department: "This, I can't quite remember. I just awakened it by chance."

Zhao Tao from the Sports Department: "Bro, we can talk in detail when you get here. Don't forget the address!"

Seeing Zhao Tao's attitude, Shen Yi lost interest in dealing with him.

If he couldn't get any information, he would just delete the friend!

As for meeting up? That was just a lie to Zhao Tao!

"Zhao Tao's ability can't be that strong, otherwise, he wouldn't have proactively added me as a friend and asked me to bring supplies..."

"If he were really strong, he would have already gathered supplies. Not to mention far away, there should be plenty of unspoiled food and water in the supermarkets on campus..."

Shen Yi muttered softly, feeling a sense of relief instead.

He was genuinely worried that Zhao Tao's ability would be like a "Lightning King," able to summon lightning at will and easily strike down monsters.

If that were the case, he wouldn't be able to stay hidden.

But clearly, from their conversation, he could tell that his ability wasn't strong, and might even be quite weak... otherwise, he wouldn't have his eye on Shen Yi's few bottles of water.

This was Shen Yi's goal in asking those questions; he needed to know how strong the abilities were to prepare accordingly.

Of course, if he could find out how to awaken an ability, that would be even better...

Xu Wanting: "Shen Yi, which dorm are you in?"

Xu Wanting: "Reply quickly!!!"

Xu Wanting: "Damn it!!!!"

Xu Wanting sent several text messages in a row, appearing very anxious.

"606."

Shen Yi replied and immediately got up, moving to the door. He picked up a broom, using it as a weapon, and quietly listened for sounds outside.

Soon, crisp footsteps echoed in the hallway.

Accompanying the footsteps were heavy, ragged breaths.

The sixth floor. There were no elevators in the dorm building, so Xu Wanting was climbing fast.

Those long legs weren't for show.

"You damn guy! You didn't even come downstairs to meet me! Serves you right that no girls like you!"

Xu Wanting leaned against the wall, gasping for air. Her fair forehead was covered in sweat. Already dehydrated, she had climbed six floors in one go and inhaled a lot of the black fog, making her throat feel like it was on fire.

If it weren't for the man-eating monsters downstairs, she definitely wouldn't have been able to climb so fast, and might not have even made it up at all.

Thinking about how she risked her life to bring him something, and Shen Yi still wouldn't come down to meet her, Xu Wanting was furious. She wished she could stab Shen Yi a few times!

If it weren't for this damned black fog, this damned disaster, she wouldn't have even bothered with a straight arrow like Shen Yi, a smelly loser!

Muttering curses under her breath, Xu Wanting quickly found dorm 606.

While cautiously scanning the dark hallway, she knocked hard on the door.

The dorm door suddenly swung open.

Before Xu Wanting could react, a hand pulled her into the dorm, and the door was instantly locked from the inside.

"Don't move!"

Shen Yi pressed Xu Wanting hard against the wall, one hand firmly pinning her arms above her head.

"Wh-what are you doing! Let go of me! Let me go!!"

Startled, Xu Wanting instinctively struggled.

But she was already weak and hadn't had water for a long time, leaving her somewhat exhausted. She couldn't break free at all.

"I said, don't f***ing move!!"

Shen Yi coldly barked.

Then, He reached out and began to touch Xu Wanting's body.
