Trapped Young Woman

But before showering, Zhao Tianlei decided to eat something, as he hadn't eaten all night and it was already morning. His stomach was rumbling. Since there was no one around, Zhao Tianlei immediately activated the storage space in his ring. However, upon seeing the space, he was stunned.

Initially, Zhao Tianlei's storage space was only one cubic meter. Back then, he had prepared a lot of food to stock up. But because one cubic meter was too small to hold much, he had no choice but to focus on steamed buns and water, along with some special small snacks. Instant noodles, drinks, and daily necessities were left behind.

Now, what lay before him was a storage space of three cubic meters. Zhao Tianlei was overjoyed. If he could fill this three-cubic-meter space, it would be enough for his meals for a whole month. He then took out a few steamed buns and some ham sausages, and began to eat heartily.

If he got thirsty, there was purified water. Although there were only a few bottles, Zhao Tianlei didn't mind. His mind was already racing, thinking about his next goal: not just to rescue people, but also to search for food.

After the events in the library yesterday, Zhao Tianlei finally understood the importance of food and water in this current apocalypse. Even things that seemed easily obtainable with money in normal times were more valuable than human lives, more precious than human dignity, in the apocalypse.

Only after he was full and had drunk his fill did Zhao Tianlei get up to take a hot shower. After getting dressed, he lay down on the soft, large bed and rested contentedly. Looking at the TV hanging on the wall opposite the head of the bed, Zhao Tianlei couldn't help but wonder. With the outbreak of the apocalypse, he wondered if the government and military had taken any action. In the scenes the Sovereign had shown him in his mind, Zhao Tianlei clearly remembered one depicting human survivor bases.

Immediately, Zhao Tianlei sprang up from the bed and quickly turned on the TV, turning the volume down low to avoid attracting zombies outside. When Zhao Tianlei turned on the TV, the news channel's screen immediately appeared. To his surprise, the radio station was still intact at this time. However, from the picture, the news anchor's expression was solemn and even a little weary.

"Compatriots of Huaxia, at 8 AM on October 30, 2016, a terrifying Biochemical Virus suddenly broke out globally. According to incomplete United Nations statistics, more than half of the world's population has turned into terrifying zombies. These zombies are highly aggressive, and once scratched or bitten, they become infected and turn into one of them. If someone near you is infected, please stay away from them, even if they are your closest family members. The government and military are activating emergency plans, our troops have begun rescue operations, and the government has begun establishing survivor bases. We hope that Huaxia survivors who receive this message will temporarily hide at home, lock their doors and windows, and await rescue."

Hearing this news, Zhao Tianlei breathed a sigh of relief. The government and military were doing a good job. They had activated emergency plans immediately, dispatching troops for rescue while simultaneously establishing survivor bases to prevent the spread of the virus. These were crucial steps, and it was remarkable that both were being carried out simultaneously. Moreover, the news on the TV was clearly on a 24-hour loop, but this single broadcast offered a glimmer of hope for survival to countless survivors.

"Excellent, once the military establishes survivor bases, humanity will have a chance to survive. I'll wait here for now, and search for some food. Once the survivor base is built, I can go and join them. With my evolved abilities, I might even be recognized by the base and get a position as a security captain. I imagine some of the beautiful survivors at the base will actively seek me out once they see my strength, and I won't be single anymore." Thinking this, Zhao Tianlei couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Just as Zhao Tianlei was lost in his pleasant fantasies, a sudden violent knocking sound jolted him awake. He was even startled, thinking he had accidentally attracted the attention of the zombies outside. Zhao Tianlei immediately grabbed his axe and tiptoed towards the office outside. However, he clearly noticed that the door was completely intact. The zombies weren't banging on his room, but on the room next door. Zhao Tianlei was stunned.

Zombies wouldn't bang on a room next door for no reason, unless there was a survivor inside who had attracted their attention. Zhao Tianlei was quite surprised by this. He hadn't expected that after the library was attacked by a large number of zombies, there would still be survivors besides those who escaped.

"Saving people is the priority."

If this were before his evolution, Zhao Tianlei might have hesitated. But now that his abilities had greatly improved, his first reaction was to save them. However, a large number of zombies had already gathered outside. If he charged out the front door, he would be devoured by the zombies before he could even kill them.

"Wuwuwu..." A sobbing sound then erupted from the room next door. From the sound of the crying, Zhao Tianlei could tell it was clearly a girl's voice.

Zhao Tianlei immediately grabbed his axe and walked towards the window. Opening the window, he saw that it was still raining outside. Zhao Tianlei carefully crawled out and along the windowsill, climbing towards the neighboring room. However, when he reached it, he discovered that the window of the room next door was locked from the inside, and Zhao Tianlei couldn't get in. Through the window, he could also see that someone was huddled in the corner, covering their head and crying.

"Bang, bang, bang." Zhao Tianlei gently tapped the window with his hand, trying to get the person inside's attention. But the girl seemed to have fallen into despair and paid no attention to the outside sounds, continuing to cry with her head down.

"Damn it, look up at me, will you?" Zhao Tianlei couldn't help but shout.

After his shout, the person inside clearly paused, then quickly looked up in the direction of the sound. She saw a man, who had somehow appeared outside the window, wearing only a pair of shorts and holding a fire axe in one hand.

In her shock, the girl suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. She quickly stood up and rushed towards the window. Standing on tiptoe, she opened the window for Zhao Tianlei. However, as Zhao Tianlei looked at the girl, he was completely stunned. The girl had been crying with her head down next to the bed, so Zhao Tianlei had only seen her head
