Just as Xu Wanting was so scared she cried out, about to break down.

Shen Yi opened the door, letting her into the dormitory.

He also picked up the snacks and backpack from the floor.

There were indeed strange noises coming from the stairwell from time to time.

But these sounds had been there for a long time, even before the black fog descended, so Shen Yi wasn't worried it was a monster.

It was probably just the windows aging.

He closed the door and, as an afterthought, locked it from the inside.

Shen Yi looked at Xu Wanting, who was hugging her knees, sitting on the bed and sobbing quietly. He had no intention of comforting her.

If she couldn't even get past this hurdle, she was destined not to live long.

This was the apocalypse!

The dangers she would face in the future would definitely be more than what she had experienced today.

The reason Xu Wanting was crying wasn't just because Shen Yi had slapped her, nor because he had kicked her out.

It was the sight of a living person being carried away by a monster.

The intense fear hadn't made Xu Wanting cry out at the time, but once she reached a relatively safe environment, her emotional dam finally broke.

It completely shattered.

The fear of hiding alone in the dormitory for these past few days, listening to the screams from downstairs from time to time... and the scene of witnessing someone being eaten by a monster, had all dealt a huge blow to Xu Wanting's young mind.

Having lived in the peaceful Xia Country, this was the first time she had ever seen a dead person!

Actually, It wasn't just Xu Wanting who was scared; Shen Yi had also been quite startled when he saw the man-eating monster through the video feed.

It was just that his ability to cope was relatively stronger, and he quickly recovered.

He couldn't collapse, otherwise, no one would be able to save his grandmother and younger sister.

Shen Yi's current thought was to quickly gather supplies. If he could find weapons like firearms, he would have the confidence to go out.

He refused to believe that mutated monsters could resist modern weaponry!

As long as it was a carbon-based life form, firearms would definitely be able to cause damage!

Of course, Shen Yi didn't blindly trust firearms either.

After all, the country hadn't been able to resolve the fog so far, nor had they sent troops for rescue, which proved that the fog couldn't be dealt with by conventional means.

But having a gun in hand would at least provide some sense of security.

"Um, can, can I have a bottle of water?"

Xu Wanting cried for a long time, then fell silent for a long time. It seemed she had recovered from her fear, and she quietly asked Shen Yi.

There were several bottles of mineral water on the table, but she didn't dare to reach for them. She was afraid of being kicked out.

Shen Yi glanced at Xu Wanting, whose eyes were swollen from crying, and felt a slight sense of satisfaction.

So, he casually tossed a bottle of mineral water to her.

At the same time.

Shen Yi also took a serious look at Xu Wanting.

She truly lived up to her reputation as the sexiest beauty in the foreign languages department. Her height of over 1.7 meters gave her a pair of long legs that surpassed many girls.

Combined with the fact that Xu Wanting wasn't fat, even a bit on the thin side, the proportion of her legs to her waist was even more perfect.

Xu Wanting, who was drinking water, felt a bit uncomfortable and shy as she noticed Shen Yi's undisguised gaze.

Although other guys had looked at her before, they would steal glances or take secret photos. No one had ever looked at her so openly from head to toe like Shen Yi was doing now.

It was as if he was looking at some kind of merchandise, which made Xu Wanting feel shy and, at the same time, a little uncomfortable.

But thinking of Shen Yi's temper, she didn't dare to complain.

After all, from the moment she voluntarily came to the male dormitory, she had understood what she would have to face.

Xu Wanting had initially thought of using her charm to control Shen Yi, making him provide for her and protect her safety.

But after what had just happened, she no longer dared to have such thoughts.

Although Shen Yi wasn't handsome and came from an ordinary family background, in the apocalypse, she had no other choice...

As long as Shen Yi could provide for her and protect her, she would just have to accept it.

After all, in the apocalypse, looks didn't matter; strength was the most important factor for survival.

From Shen Yi's previous control over his strength and the slap he had given her, his strength was considerable, and he could protect her.

As Xu Wanting thought this, she saw Shen Yi walking towards her.

Her cheeks flushed, her breathing grew heavy, and she felt her heart inexplicably race.

"Let's brush your teeth first."

Shen Yi looked at Xu Wanting's lips, wanting to kiss her, but then he remembered she hadn't had water for two days and probably hadn't brushed her teeth, so the taste might not be great.

Xu Wanting understood Shen Yi's meaning and couldn't help but blush, realizing she was being looked down upon.

However, She looked at the two remaining bottles of mineral water on the table and hesitated.

"There are only two bottles of water left, shouldn't we save them?"

She suddenly regretted something.

She had just drunk a whole bottle of water in one go; if she had known, she should have saved some.

But she was too thirsty at the time and couldn't control herself.

Now with only two bottles left, they could at most last three days, so there was no way they could use it to brush their teeth, it would be a waste...

"It's fine, drink as much as you want. I told you, I have enough water."

As Shen Yi spoke, he casually raised his hand, and two bottles of mineral water appeared out of thin air in his palm.

"This, this, this is also a superpower!?"

Xu Wanting stared at the water Shen Yi conjured out of thin air in shock.

Superpower!

Xu Wanting had seen a classmate post a video in their group chat earlier, claiming to have superpowers.

At first, Xu Wanting didn't really believe it, but now seeing Shen Yi conjure water out of thin air, she instantly connected it to superpowers.

Could it be that Shen Yi had also awakened a superpower!?

"Yes, it's pretty much what you're thinking. My superpower is to conjure food and water, so if you follow me and behave, you won't have to worry about food and drink anymore," Shen Yi said.

He had also thought it through carefully and decided it was time to show off.

Only then could he make the arrogant Xu Wanting more loyal.

If he had only used force to subdue her, Xu Wanting might not have said anything, but she would have resentment in her heart.

Only by using a carrot and stick approach could he completely tie down this proud woman.

If Xu Wanting understood that following him had a future, she wouldn't betray him easily.

Once he unlocked more resources and gained enough strength, Shen Yi wouldn't be afraid of her betrayal.

When that time came, if she dared to have any ill intentions, he would kill her directly!

Of course, Shen Yi would naturally not tell anyone about the system.

Regardless of whether the system was his own awakened superpower, he couldn't let anyone else know; that was his bottom line.

"To think there's a superpower like this, it's amazing!" While Xu Wanting was surprised, a smile involuntarily appeared in her eyes.

Being able to conjure food and water meant she would never have to suffer from hunger or thirst again!

Thinking of this, Xu Wanting's gaze towards Shen Yi changed slightly.

Even though he was still not handsome, he was very reliable now!

"You should understand how important my superpower is, so without my permission, don't tell anyone about my ability, understand? If I die, the superpower will also disappear," Shen Yi warned her sternly.

"I understand! I would never tell anyone! Not even my parents!"

Xu Wanting nodded seriously.

She wasn't stupid.

If she were stupid, she wouldn't have gotten into this prestigious 985 university.

Shen Yi's words were both a warning and a threat.

"Then, I'll go brush my teeth and rinse my mouth first..."

Xu Wanting said, her face slightly flushed.

She already understood what would happen after she brushed her teeth.
