Two hours later, a system prompt chimed in Liu Yang's mind.
[Congratulations, Host, on successfully spreading your seed! [Dark Space] has leveled up by 1!]
[Bonus Reward: Due to seven consecutive days of success, all ability levels have increased by 1!]
Receiving this prompt made Liu Yang beam with delight. The Seven Kill Super God system truly came through with rewards again!
Liu Yang checked his panel.
[Dark Space] had reached Level 5. Originally measuring 30 × 30 × 30 = 27,000 cubic meters, it had now expanded to 50 × 50 × 50 = 125,000 cubic meters!
That was nearly a fourfold increase!
The mountain of supplies he had scavenged from the supermarket had previously looked somewhat impressive.
Now, it looked like a tiny, solitary pile again.
Liu Yang shook his head. "Looks like my scavenging speed can't keep up with [Dark Space]'s expansion rate. This space is way too empty-I've got to gather more resources!"
Meanwhile...
Although Zhang Jingyu had fled alongside her brother and hadn't suffered from starvation, two hours of intense exertion had left her completely limp on the bed.
After all, Liu Yang was no ordinary man.
His strength, speed, spirit, and stamina were 16.5 times the human baseline.
Two hours for him was entirely different from two hours for anyone else.
With his physical speed enhanced to sixteen times normal, he could pack far more... action into the exact same timeframe.
Consequently, Zhang Jingyu had begun begging for mercy within the first few minutes.
Yet, driven by burning lust, Liu Yang hadn't slowed down, mercilessly ravaging her for the full two hours.
Having never been with a man before, she hadn't expected her first time to be so overwhelming.
At this moment, she stared blankly at the ceiling, whimpering under her breath, "I'm so exhausted... truly exhausted♡ I feel like I'm going to die♡... Thankfully, there are plenty of girls living in the villa... If it were just me, I wouldn't last a week before you worked me to death♡~"
Liu Yang chuckled at her helpless state.
He rubbed his chin and said awkwardly, "Why does every woman who gets into my bed claim she's dying? Am I really that absurdly strong?"
"Strong doesn't even cover it! You're practically a human-shaped machine! What girl could withstand you wrecking her like this? You're going to be the death of me~♡," Zhang Jingyu complained in a weak, breathless voice.
"Alright, alright. Rest up. I'm wiped out too, so I'm getting some sleep." Saying that, Liu Yang flopped onto the bed and quickly drifted off.
Despite her utter physical exhaustion, Zhang Jingyu didn't want to sleep just yet.
She turned to watch Liu Yang sleeping peacefully beside her, her heart swelling with affection the longer she looked.
Her elder brother, Zhang Jinglin, had died in an accident at the hands of that mutant tree. Fortunately, she had encountered Liu Yang. Otherwise, even if she hadn't been killed by the tree, Giant Bear and his men would have captured her immediately afterward and dragged her back to Black Tiger Base.
The mere thought of the leader of Black Tiger Survivor Base-with his yellowing teeth, bloated belly, greasy black skin, and revolting appearance-made her stomach turn.
Compared to Liu Yang, that Black Tiger was literal dog shit.
She was truly blessed to have met Liu Yang and become his woman. It felt like a gift from heaven itself!
Even in the apocalypse, Zhang Jingyu felt profoundly happy right now.
Her lips curved into a soft smile, and she stole a gentle kiss from the sleeping Liu Yang before finally closing her eyes.
...
The next day.
By the time Liu Yang and Zhang Jingyu woke up, it was already noon.
Su Xiao and the other girls had already prepared lunch. Seeing Liu Yang and Zhang Jingyu emerge, they immediately came over to greet them with bright smiles.
"Liu Yang, Jingyu, come have lunch! We just finished cooking right as you woke up-perfect timing!"
"Sounds good," Liu Yang nodded.
He walked over to Su Xiao's dormitory alongside Zhang Jingyu. The room was already packed with girls.
The instant they saw Zhang Jingyu, envy flashed through every girl's eyes.
When Zhao Yuting saw Liu Yang, her entire face flushed bright red, and she frantically averted her gaze. She didn't even dare look him in the eye, terrified that one glance at his handsome face would send her suppressed cravings spiraling out of control.
Initially, she had felt out of place among these students, thinking she wasn't twisted enough. But after a few days, she felt like she was actually the most depraved one of all, burning with longing every single second...
This overwhelming urge made her think about intimacy day and night, to the point where she felt her mind was going to break.
Except...
Liu Yang caught her strange reaction.
Flushed face, dodging eyes, lowered head, and rapid breathing...
Wait, why did that look so much like...
The early signs of turning into a zombie?!
He knitted his brows and asked out of concern, "Yuting, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
The other girls paused, turning their gazes toward Zhao Yuting in unison.
The room fell dead silent.
"Ah..." Zhao Yuting hadn't expected Liu Yang to initiate conversation with her. Startled, her head snapped up, meeting his caring gaze head-on.
That single glance set her soul fluttering.
"Nothing hurts worse than a sudden quiet in the room, or a sudden show of concern from someone you want..."
At this moment, Zhao Yuting felt an unmanageable heat surging in her core, aching and unrelenting.
The craving inside her roared open, desperately begging for nourishment.
"I want to be your woman."
Zhao Yuting desperately wanted to scream those words out loud.
Unfortunately, she was a shy, traditional woman at heart.
She could only blush furiously and shake her head. "N-No... it's nothing."
"Oh, good thing it's nothing then. Let's eat, everyone," Liu Yang said, visibly relieved.
He had personally swept the campus clean of zombies. How could Zhao Yuting possibly be infected?
It seemed he had been overthinking.
They did say that caring too much blurs one's judgment.
Liu Yang was immensely grateful to Zhao Yuting for protecting him when he was injured, so he genuinely didn't want anything bad to happen to her.
Now that she claimed she was fine, he let his guard down.
Watching Liu Yang's gaze shift away from her, Zhao Yuting felt less anxious, yet a wave of hollow disappointment washed over her.
She feared his attention, yet craved it all the same.
Lost in these conflicting emotions, she ate her meal absentmindedly.
Even though Chen Dan's cooking was delicious, it tasted like wax in her mouth.
Shortly after, Liu Yang finished his meal and returned to his room. He planned to run some deductions and prepare to scavenge a few more large supermarkets.
There were three other hypermarkets near the university. Though they were further away than the first one, Liu Yang was far too powerful now to worry about distance.
Besides, after his intense session with Zhang Jingyu last night, his [Dark Space] had expanded to 50 × 50 × 50 meters. A full supermarket's worth of goods didn't even fill a tenth of it.
It looked far too barren.
It bugged him.
He absolutely refused to let his spatial storage look so empty-it went against his principles.
Therefore, he had to stuff it completely full!
