Liu Yang was already showered and resting in bed inside his room.
Having killed quite a few zombies today-along with several sports students-he felt genuinely exhausted.
He pulled bread and milk out from his Dark Space and began to eat.
As he chewed, he pondered his next move.
"The food from the neighborhood convenience store and the school cafeteria is enough to last the few of us a long time. Still, you can never lack a sense of urgency in the apocalypse."
"What if I get lucky and find a few hundred female survivors? This little bit of food won't cut it."
"Besides, my 20×20×20 Dark Space is huge. Right now, it's still mostly empty-only about one-third full. Looking at all that wasted space makes me uncomfortable. I have to cram it completely full!"
"So next, I need to scavenge for food outside the residential compound. There's a large supermarket just over a kilometer away. A place like that has vastly more food than a cafeteria or a convenience store. If I can sweep it clean, it should easily fill up the Dark Space!"
"With my current strength, even if I step outside and get surrounded by dozens of zombies, I can easily fight my way out. Even if a horde of hundreds or thousands surrounds me, I still have the ability to escape. Six times the speed of an average human is no joke. If I can't win, I can run, and those zombies will never catch me."
With that, Liu Yang made up his mind. Tomorrow, he would start raiding the large supermarket.
When that time came, he would truly have more food than he could ever finish.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Just as Liu Yang was lost in thought, a sudden knock sounded at his door.
Liu Yang blinked.
Who would be knocking on his door right now?
Could it be the female teacher, Zhao Yuting?
He hadn't given her any hints to come to his room, though.
After all, during the simulation, Zhao Yuting had shielded him with her own body even while watching him get beaten. That had moved Liu Yang deeply.
This teacher had shown him genuine goodwill, and he intended to treat her with the utmost kindness in return.
People with purely good hearts deserved to be treated well by the world.
That was why he had sent Zhao Yuting directly downstairs to eat with Su Xiao and He Yushi.
There was no need for her to force herself into becoming his woman.
"Come in!" Liu Yang called toward the door.
If it was Zhao Yuting, he could set things straight with her.
However, the person who pushed the door open wasn't Zhao Yuting, but Zhou Qiuping-whom Liu Yang had completely forgotten about.
"So it's her."
Liu Yang let out a look of realization.
Zhou Qiuping had been rescued alongside Zhao Lina. She was a top-tier beauty in her own right-fair-skinned, attractive, tall, and voluptuously shaped. Back in school, she was the object of many boys' secret crushes.
However, compared to the straight-A campus belle Zhao Lina, Zhou Qiuping's looks were slightly secondary.
That was why, after Liu Yang slept with Zhao Lina, he had completely put Zhou Qiuping out of his mind.
Seeing her knock and enter now, it finally registered.
She must have been starving for days, right?
She probably couldn't endure the hunger any longer.
It had to be said, Zhao Lina was definitely smart.
On her very first day here, she had knocked on his door, sparing herself any further starvation.
Zhou Qiuping was a bit dumber.
She had suffered through an extra day of hunger for nothing.
The gap in intelligence between people was clear as day.
Liu Yang smiled at Zhou Qiuping and asked, "What, have you finally figured things out?"
"Um... yes..." Zhou Qiuping blushed furiously, lowering her head and nodding twice.
"Then don't dawdle. Get over here." Liu Yang patted his bed.
"I... I heard Lina say you're extremely strong and capable... that ordinary people can't handle it, so I'm a little scared..." Zhou Qiuping stammered nervously.
She had heard Zhao Lina say that Liu Yang was powerful, possessed insane stamina, and was incredibly fast.
Young girls like them simply couldn't take it.
Zhao Lina had been left completely collapsed in bed back then.
Naturally, Zhou Qiuping was filled with apprehension. After all, she was entirely inexperienced in intimate matters. She felt a mix of anticipation and curiosity, coupled with genuine fear.
Especially since her very first time would be with someone as formidable as Liu Yang.
There wasn't even a gradual transition period.
As a girl as pure as a blank sheet of paper, Zhou Qiuping was terrified.
"Don't be scared, I'll be gentle. Don't listen to Zhao Lina and the others exaggeration. Sure, they ended up exhausted, but wasn't it still thoroughly satisfying?" Liu Yang laughed.
"Lina said you want to be gentle, but your hardware doesn't allow it..." Zhou Qiuping mumbled.
"Uh... well, you can't blame me for that. Come on, stop talking so much." Without waiting any longer, Liu Yang pulled Zhou Qiuping straight onto the bed.
Before long, explicit sounds echoed from the room.
They were so loud that even the people downstairs could hear them clearly.
He Yushi, Tang Mengting, Zhao Yuting, Zhao Lina, Su Xiao, and Chen Dan all poked their heads out.
Listening to the noises coming from upstairs, they began whispering among themselves.
Zhao Lina wore a look of relief. "Aiya! That girl Qiuping finally came to her senses. Going upstairs in broad daylight!"
He Yushi chimed in, "You're one to talk, miss straight-A campus belle! You should have dragged her up with you back then instead of letting her starve for an extra day!"
Zhao Lina's face flushed red at He Yushi's words. "Goodness! Two people together? That's way too embarrassing! Absolutely not!"
Tang Mengting said faintly, "Your best friend is pretty wild, isn't she? She's even louder than you were!"
Su Xiao added, "Honestly! She's louder than anyone else! Each one is more shameless than the last-acting all bashful before going in, but completely letting loose once they're inside!"
Chen Dan gasped, "My god, am I hearing things? Did she just call out to Liu Yang like that?"
He Yushi laughed, "You heard right, I heard it too! Zhou Qiuping really is quite the wild one!"
...
Zhao Yuting listened to the noises upstairs and the lively discussion around her, her face turning crimson, completely speechless.
She thought to herself, My goodness! Is it really like this when men and women do that? Does everyone shout that loudly? It's so embarrassing!
If I end up doing that with Liu Yang later, will I have to shout like that too?
Ahhh! This is dyingly embarrassing!
Zhao Yuting's breathing grew ragged, her body heating up and her face flushing red like a ripe fruit.
This was her first time acting as a 'war reporter,' witnessing the acoustic reality of live combat firsthand.
The sounds stirred a frantic restlessness inside her heart.
It felt as though hundreds of ants were crawling over her skin, making her itch with unbearable tension.
At the same time, she found herself growing increasingly curious and eager about the intimacy between a man and a woman.
