Two hours later, Liu Yang received a system prompt.
[Congratulations, Host, on successfully spreading your leaves and branches! Dark Space ability level +1!]
"Holy shit, the space skill leveled up again."
Liu Yang checked the skill details.
[Dark Space (Level 3): You possess a 30×30×30 meter Dark Space within your body.]
It had upgraded from 20×20×20 (8,000 cubic meters) to 30×30×30 (27,000 cubic meters).
That was nearly a fourfold increase in capacity!
The supplies Liu Yang had scavenged from the convenience store and the school cafeteria hadn't even filled a third of the old space.
Now that the volume had quadrupled, those same supplies occupied barely a twelfth of the room.
It looked almost pitifully empty inside.
"Looks like I definitely have to raid a large supermarket tomorrow. Leaving it this empty just feels wrong-I've got to pack it to the brim!"
Meanwhile, Zhou Qiuping lay on Liu Yang's bed, completely exhausted.
She mumbled faintly, "I can't... ♡I'm too tired, way too tired!♡ Lina was right... How could a normal person handle you? If I hadn't prepared myself mentally, I really would've died in this bed... ♡"
Liu Yang chuckled. "That's why you all need to work out in the apocalypse. Get into shape, and not only will you last longer in bed, but you'll also actually stand a chance if you run into zombies."
"Liar! ♡No matter how much we train, how could we ever keep up with you? You're not even human! You're a damn machine! ♡" Zhou Qiuping whined.
Liu Yang was just too overpowered.
His stamina in bed was just like his zombie-killing prowess-completely beyond normal human limits.
If he did this every day, she'd probably be dead within three days!
Zhou Qiuping suddenly felt a surge of relief that there were so many women in the villa.
If it were just her, she really might have died from sheer pleasure in the most literal sense!
"Alright, alright. Rest up for now, then get up later to eat and rebuild your strength. I'm going to grab a nap too." Liu Yang lay down beside her and drifted off moments later.
Zhou Qiuping was already worn out to her limit, so she closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep as well.
By the time the two woke up, night had fallen.
After freshening up, Liu Yang led Zhou Qiuping down to the main hall. Chen Dan and He Yushi were already cooking.
Even the new teacher, Zhao Yuting, had pitched in, washing vegetables in the kitchen.
When Liu Yang walked out, everyone beamed with joy. "Liu Yang, go sit and rest for a bit. Dinner will be ready soon!"
"Let me see what you're making," Liu Yang said, stepping into the kitchen.
The women were busily keeping things organized.
Liu Yang noticed that the pre-packaged cooked rice and meals taken from the convenience store were almost gone.
They had been eating pretty light these past few days since convenience stores didn't carry fresh meat.
Reaching into his Dark Space, he pulled out two hundred-pound bags of rice along with a selection of fresh meat scavenged from the school cafeteria's kitchen.
Loading them into the refrigerator, he said, "Adding some extra dishes for you all. Don't worry about skimping on food-just let me know when we run low."
Seeing what Liu Yang had produced, all the women stared in shock.
He Yushi gasped, "My god, am I seeing things? Is that beef?"
Tang Mengting added, "It's been so many days since the outbreak. Where on earth did you get beef?"
Su Xiao, the female celebrity, exclaimed, "I think there are pork ribs too! We can make stewed ribs tomorrow! Ahh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!"
Chen Dan asked, "Liu Yang, you're way too awesome! Where did you even find all this food?"
Zhao Lina added emotionally, "Being able to eat fresh meat during the end of the world... this is almost bringing me to tears! It feels like we're back in peaceful times-living in a villa, eating delicious food. It's amazing!"
"Thank you, Liu Yang!" Everyone offered him their heartfelt thanks.
Liu Yang smiled.
"Don't mention it. I told you before-as long as you follow me, food will never be an issue.
"Also, I've cleared out every single zombie in the villa compound, and I've locked the main gates.
"In other words, the entire neighborhood is now a safe zone. Starting today, you can move around freely outside.
"Just be careful not to wander too close to the main gate or perimeter walls. If the zombies outside spot you, they might try to breach the area."
"Huh?"
"The entire neighborhood is a safe zone? We can walk around outside?"
"Oh my god! There were at least a few thousand zombies in this compound-how did you do that?"
"Liu Yang, you're way too awesome!"
The women's faces were filled with disbelief, their eyes overflowing with admiration.
In a single day, Liu Yang had not only brought back fresh meat, but he had also wiped out every zombie in the neighborhood.
That was an entire compound's worth of infected!
How could anyone be this strong?
Is he even human?
Liu Yang gave a smug grin.
"You've already experienced firsthand in my bed just how awesome I am, haven't you? So why be so surprised? Either way, you won't be trapped inside this single villa anymore."
He Yushi was the first to cheer. "Awesome! That's so amazing, hahaha! I can't believe we can finally step outside this villa so soon. I'm so happy!
"I'm going to swim in the community pool, play ball on the court, and hit the gym to work on my glutes! Give me a month, and I'll challenge you again-let's see if I don't make you beg for mercy!"
"Oho, ambitious, aren't we?" Liu Yang chuckled, surprised by her boldness.
She really underestimates me, thinking she can make me beg for mercy.
Does she think gym glute workouts are magic?
She thinks a month of training is enough to squeeze me until I beg?
In a month, who knows how many times my base attributes will have multiplied!
You think hit-or-miss gym sessions can keep up with my system growth?
Wishful thinking!
Zhao Lina chimed in, "Qiuping, let's go workout too! Forget about taking down Liu Yang-let's just aim to survive him once we're in shape."
"Nod, nod!" Zhou Qiuping agreed frantically, speaking from deep personal experience.
"Count us in! We're going too!" the other women echoed.
Amidst the joyful laughter, dinner was served.
Everyone sat down at the dining table together.
Zhao Yuting had been fine before, but ever since the students misunderstood her relationship with Liu Yang, she had been too flustered to meet his eyes.
While everyone chatted and laughed, she sat with her head hung low, cheeks burning red, silently shoveling food into her mouth.
