They were surrounded by a horde of corpses.
Every surviving freshman, including Tang Zichen, wore an expression of despair!
Except Chen Ye...
At that moment, not only was there no trace of panic on Chen Ye's face, he was incredibly excited, his eyes shining.
He had never expected this evolved zombie to possess the ability to summon little zombies too!!
He was going to strike it rich.
This time, he was really going to strike it rich!
Once he caught the evolved zombie, wouldn't he have as many little zombies as he wanted?
He could kill them forever and never run out...
According to Old Liu, one little zombie could give around six Potential points. What if he killed hundreds or thousands of them?
Wouldn't he soar in a single wave?
Thinking of this, Chen Ye's hands trembled with excitement.
Tang Zichen noticed Chen Ye's unusual behavior—though she could not see his face—and assumed he was trembling in fear. Guilt immediately appeared on her pretty face.
"Chen Ye, I'm sorry!"
"If I hadn't overestimated myself and thought I could help you in the secret realm, if I hadn't teamed up with you, you wouldn't have ended up in such a desperate situation."
"I dragged you down..."
Chen Ye: ???
He was not an idiot.
Seeing the guilty look on the girl's face, he knew she had misunderstood.
Then, Chen Ye pulled a sly move.
He let out a fake sigh and said, "Class monitor, don't blame yourself. I know you teamed up with me because you wanted to help me. I don't blame you."
Hearing that, kindhearted Tang Zichen felt even more guilty.
Chen Ye added, "Actually, I'm not afraid of dying. It's just that there's one wish I've never fulfilled, and it feels a little regrettable to die like this..."
"What wish?" Tang Zichen asked instinctively.
"It's kind of embarrassing to say."
Though Chen Ye said that, he did not look embarrassed at all. "Class monitor, I heard that when a beautiful girl like you throws a punch, people can cry for a long time... Could you let me experience it?"
Tang Zichen: "..."
"Aha, you looked too tense, so I was just making a joke to lighten the mood."
"Chen Ye, at a time like this... are you really not afraid of death?"
"Of course I am!"
Chen Ye smiled. "But we won't die today!"
Tang Zichen wanted to say something else...
But just then.
A figure suddenly rushed toward Chen Ye at great speed.
It was that Japanese youth from earlier!
Tang Zichen was highly alert. She immediately stopped worrying about Chen Ye, green light bursting from her body as she swiftly moved in front of him and shielded him behind her.
"What do you want?"
Holding a dart, the girl took up a fighting stance and demanded sharply.
The Japanese youth looked anxious as he shouted, "He has something the monsters are afraid of! Tang Zichen, make him hand it over quickly, and we can escape together."
He deliberately spoke loudly to draw everyone else's attention.
It was indeed effective.
At once.
Several people who heard him rushed over.
It turned out that when this bastard had fled earlier, he had happened to see Chen Ye use glutinous rice against the evolved zombie. Now that he was out of options, he thought of the glutinous rice Chen Ye had.
Tang Zichen's pretty face turned icy as she replied with two words:
"In your dreams!"
Not to mention that these people had wanted to kill her before.
Even if it was only because the glutinous rice was Chen Ye's last sliver of hope, she would never agree.
More and more zombies gathered around them, and the evolved zombie had noticed this side as well. The situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.
The Japanese youth immediately panicked, his face twisting viciously. "Baka, don't force me!"
The others around them also looked ready to use force and snatch it away.
Their attention was fixed on Tang Zichen and the surrounding zombies. None of them noticed just how cold the expression was on the face of a man whose hair had recently been falling out badly!
That little baka actually wanted to steal Chen Ye's glutinous rice? What a son of a bitch.
"You want this, right?"
Chen Ye took out the bag of glutinous rice and suddenly smiled. "Watch closely!"
As soon as he spoke.
He lightly tossed the bag in his hand, throwing it directly beside the evolved zombie's feet...
At that moment, Chen Ye understood Li Zairong's feelings very well.
Simply killing these bastards would be letting them off too easily.
He wanted them to experience the agony of despair before they died!
Oh.
Right.
That loser Li Zairong had already been bitten to death by the little zombies.
Chen Ye had seen it clearly.
The guy had not resisted at all from start to finish.
He had gone peacefully.
Chen Ye's actions left everyone around him stunned.
Then, the Japanese youth and the others felt their brains buzzing, as if they were about to go insane!
Have them pick up the glutinous rice from beside the evolved zombie's feet?
They might as well kill themselves. It would be quicker.
Their final hope had been cut off, driving them completely mad.
"Bastard!! I'm going to kill you!!!"
The Japanese youth roared and charged at Chen Ye, completely failing to see the disdain in Chen Ye's eyes.
"Humph!"
A cold snort rang out.
Tang Zichen attacked without hesitation. Her telekinesis erupted at full force, directly blasting the few people around them away.
If they had all still been present earlier, Tang Zichen naturally would not have been their match.
But now that only a few remained, they still wanted to kill Chen Ye right in front of her?
After the Japanese youth and the others were blasted away by Tang Zichen's telekinesis, they were not injured, but they had been driven onto a dead-end road.
Because the zombies had arrived.
Several little zombies swarmed them at once, their sharp nails sinking deeply into their shoulders before they bit their necks and greedily sucked their blood.
For a time, screams rang out without end.
Only the Japanese youth had a strong will to survive. With an unwilling roar, he erupted in one final burst before death and actually stabbed a zombie straight through the heart with his katana.
The strike to its heart caused the little zombie pain, and it released the Japanese youth.
The Japanese youth rolled across the ground and ended up back at Chen Ye's feet.
Although he had temporarily escaped the little zombie, the artery in his neck had already been bitten open, and he had been infected with corpse poison. There was no cure for him, and he did not have much time left.
At that moment, Chen Ye could have crushed the bastard to death with a casual kick.
But Chen Ye did not do so.
It was fine to let him die in agony!
Then he could turn into a little zombie and contribute some Potential points to Chen Ye.
Looking at the Japanese youth's miserable state.
Tang Zichen suddenly sighed!
Then, her gaze turned toward Chen Ye.
"Chen Ye, I'm sorry. I don't want to die in a zombie's mouth. I'll go on ahead..."
After Tang Zichen spoke, she activated her telekinesis and controlled a dart, sending it in a circle through the air. Once it had accelerated enough, it shot toward her own neck...
She truly was worthy of being herself.
Even suicide was so decisive!!
In the blink of an eye.
The dart arrived before Tang Zichen.
Tang Zichen had already closed her eyes...
A few seconds later.
Hm?
Why had the dart not pierced her neck yet?
Had it missed?
Impossible!
She had practiced for so long at school. Within a hundred meters, she could hit the target every single time.
Tang Zichen opened her eyes in confusion.
She discovered that her dart was less than ten centimeters from her neck.
The reason it had not pierced her neck was because a large hand had firmly caught it...
"Class monitor, don't be in such a hurry to do something foolish! Didn't I tell you before? I have a secret weapon!"
Chen Ye smiled. "Get some rest. It's my turn to take the stage!"
His smile.
Was brimming with confidence!!
Damn! Thank you, everyone, for the rewards and votes—you're seriously amazing! Thank you for the support. There'll be another chapter after midnight, not counting tomorrow's update!
