Chapter 27

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Julie bit off Rhodes’ finger, Rhodes guided her to bite different parts of his body. Unfortunately, he did not awaken any new special abilities after that. However, with every bite from Julie, he felt his body growing stronger and stronger. The feeling was not very subtle; he felt as though he could feel every cell in his body cheering over the upgrade. Alas, this feeling did not last long. After she bit him all over his body, the system notification stopped ringing in his mind.

Rhodes called up the system interface after the last system notification rang in his mind.

Host: Rhodes.

Age: 22.

Strength: 105 (originally 11)

Speed: 105 (originally 8)

Vitality: 108 (originally 15)

Spirit: 102 (originally 13)

(ordinary people usually have 10 points for each attribute)

Special Abilities: Insight, Poison Control, Body Regeneration

(Special Abilities will consume spiritual energy)

After not checking his statistics for a while, Rhodes discovered many changes on the system interface. He looked at the special ability, Body Regeneration, and knew it was the special ability he had just awakened. Since he had witnessed the use of Body Regeneration earlier, he no longer dwelled on it.

After he was done, he shifted his attention to the outside world again.

Without Rhodes’ commands, Julie no longer bit him. Instead, she struggled, trying to make her way to the corpses strewn on the ground.

Rhodes looked at Julie who was trying to get the corpses as a trace of sorrow appeared on his face. His mood that had been lifted by his boost in strength vanished immediately.

…

“So powerful!”

“Who’s he? Is he also from our university?”

“He’s just like Superman. I wonder if he has a girlfriend?”

“In this apocalyptic world, I’ll definitely be able to live a little longer if I can stay next to him!”

The male student, who had proposed earlier to give into James’ demand and hand Ira over to James to be turned into a female slave, sighed as the females in the room began to discuss among themselves.

“That’s only natural! After all, he’s so powerful! It must be easy for him to find food and water!”

“As long as there’s food and water, I’m willing to do anything!”

“I hope he comes over here! At that time, I’ll kneel and beg him to give me some food!”

“How nice would it be if he were my boyfriend?”

“I… I’m still a virgin. I should have a chance if I take the initiative, right?”

The males in the room remained silent.

Only the females were speaking excitedly. Their conversations seemed to escalate and became more and more obscene. These female students were mostly famous beauties on campus. No matter where they went in the past, a long line of boys would trail after them, inevitably raising their statuses. Not many ordinary male students could get close to them. How ironic. In the past, they were so arrogant that they would have looked down on Rhodes. However, currently, all of them wished Rhodes would accept them. As long as he agreed, they would even agree to become his slave. In fact, they were more than happy to do so.

The female students’ words seemed to affect Ira, the most beautiful professor on campus whose beauty was not inferior to Julie. It could be seen from her expression that she was moved by the words around her. Her beautiful face was slightly red as she thought to herself, ‘If I can stay next to him, there’s no doubt I’ll be able to live better in this apocalyptic world.’ After a while, she shook her head and continued thinking to herself, ‘How can I have such thoughts? Not only is Rhodes the boyfriend of the number one beauty on campus, Julie, but he’s my student as well! As his professor, how can I have such thoughts?’

…

While Ira and the female students were lost in their wild fantasies, Rhodes began making his way in their direction. It did not take long before he entered the building and walked to the room where everyone was in.

He stood ten steps away from them and took out the first gun he had seized today.

Upon seeing Rhodes bringing out the gun, these arrogant beauties on campus hid behind Ira in fear.

A cold voice rang in everyone’s ears soon after. “I’ll ask the questions, you’ll answer them!”

When the people in the room recalled how easily Rhodes had killed James and his men, they grew even more frightened.

“Apart from you people here, is there any other faction on campus?”

Rhodes waited for a long time, but no one answered his question. He was about to shoot when Ira hastily replied, “Apart from us, there are three other factions. The faction at the east gate consists of members of the basketball team and people from the security department. This faction is very strong since there are many adults, and most of the people from the security department are equipped with guns. Then, we have the north gate’s faction. They’re a mysterious force. There aren’t many people in their faction, but each of their members’ combat ability is incredibly high. There were also witnesses claiming they had seen the people from the north gate firing flamethrowers. Therefore, although the other factions have guns, they would not recklessly provoke the north gate’s faction.” Then, she hesitated just for a brief moment before she said, “Finally, there’s the faction at the south gate. The faction consists of members from the football team and ordinary students. They have guns as well, and they aren’t any weaker than the east gate’s faction. Right now, hordes of zombies are gathered at the south gate.” Her voice was melodious when she spoke. As expected of a professor. She was articulate and organized her thoughts well. In just a brief moment, she had detailed the situation on campus to him.

Rhodes fell deep into his thoughts as he listened to Ira’s explanation. When he regained his senses, he saw a group of women with dirty faces, greasy hair, ragged clothes, and sallow complexion speaking over each other at the same time.

“Rhodes, you’re so amazing!”

“That’s right! Rhodes, you’re just like a superhero!”

“Rhodes, thank you for saving me!”

“Handsome, you saved my life. How do you think I should repay you?”

“Rhodes, I… I’m still a virgin. I-I hope…”

He frowned slightly. It seemed like they had not eaten food or drank water for a long time. Although they were all flattering him, their eyes were trained on his bulging backpack.

It was only natural that these women could tear their eyes away from Rhodes’ backpack. After all, they could even see a bag of chicken wings with sauce at the side, almost spilling out of the backpack.

Rhodes had managed to find the food in the broadcasting room earlier.

There, they could clearly see the mineral water and bread!

At this moment, Rhodes ignored the 12 women clamoring in front of him. Instead, he shifted his attention to Ira who was standing by the window. She bit her lip as she looked out the window, resting her pair of 36E on the windowsill. Although her lips were chapped and the state she was in was not any better than the other women, her beauty still shone through. He thought that her pair of 36E enhanced her beauty even more.

When Ira saw Rhodes staring at her, she hurriedly turned away and looked outside.

Meanwhile, the other women followed Rhodes’ gaze and found him staring at Ira. They were, naturally, jealous and envious. With this, they seemed to double their efforts to catch his attention. One after another, they tried to flirt with him and made bold suggestions. Some of them even rubbed their bodies against Rhodes’ body, completely unabashed.

Upon seeing this, Rhodes sneered. “Do you want some water or food?”

The eyes of the women around Rhodes lit up instantly as they shouted in unison, “Yes!”

Rhodes glanced at Ira before he said, “If that’s the case, beg your professor to leave with me…”

It was not that Rhodes had perverted thoughts. It was just that he needed Ira. Since he could not stay by Julie’s side all the time, he needed someone trustworthy to look after Julie. In his mind, Ira and Beth would balance each other out. With Ira around, he would not have to fear Beth trying to harm Julie when he was not around. With this thought in mind, he was determined to have Ira leave with him.
