Chapter 83: Cat-Eared Girl?

"Ruocheng, Coco, take some people and clean up the zombies in the teaching building and the green zone."

The zombies in the teaching building and the green zone had already been cleared by Alex once, and there weren't many left.

It was a good opportunity for the women's close guard team to practice.

"Using up 856 Apocalypse Coins, that leaves 349 Apocalypse Coins."

Alex looked at the building list.

[Slave Hut: Covers an area of 20 square meters. A place where the slaves of the City of Darkness' ruler reside. Each person has only a two-square-meter single room, and they will be completely isolated during rest. Price: 50 Apocalypse Coins.]

He could build a few more slave huts with the remaining Apocalypse Coins.

In the future, those who were enslaved by force could be placed in these slave huts.

Alex went to an open area in the outer city and chose to build a slave hut.

"System, build a slave hut here."

[Slave Hut construction successful, conditions met.]

[Consuming 50 Apocalypse Coins...]

[Construction in progress...]

As the electronic synthesized voice sounded, a sinister and terrifying small wooden hut appeared before Alex.

"Build another slave hut here!"

After constructing two huts using the same method.

Alex was left with 249 Apocalypse Coins.

"Let's summon two more wandering hounds to guard the outer city wall. Also, summon two more three-eyed ravens to continuously scout the area around the city."

[Three-Eyed Raven: The ruler's eyes, capable of low-altitude flight, transparent in form. The ruler can control the three-eyed ravens to scout the space within a three-kilometer radius around the City of Darkness. Creatures with a mental attribute value below 80 points cannot detect it; Price: 60 Apocalypse Coins.]

[Wandering Hound: Attacks any life form that enters the City of Darkness without permission; Price: 50 Apocalypse Coins.]

Alex then summoned two more wandering hounds and three-eyed ravens.

After making these arrangements, Alex finally felt satisfied.

"Master, master, we're almost out of Class C zombies..."

At that moment, Shen Tingting reported through the walkie-talkie that the city's supply of Class C zombies was nearly depleted.

After several days of burials,

The city's stock of Class C zombies was almost used up.

Alex returned to the city, dragged out a few human corpses, and infected them with Class C zombies.

After they transformed into zombies, he would then kill them.

However, the actual effect was not as ideal as Alex had hoped, with only thirty percent of the human corpses successfully transforming into Class C zombies.

Most of the human corpses turned into ordinary zombies.

This made the stock of Class C zombies somewhat strained.

Moreover, a cat-like mutant with feline characteristics.

Alex knew that Lan Siruo had always loved cats before the apocalypse; she even kept an adorable pure white fold-ear cat in her dormitory.

Perhaps due to her great love for cats, when Lan Siruo became a mutant, she acquired cat-like traits.

Before the apocalypse, Alex had secretly admired Lan Siruo for three years.

But due to the huge difference in their statuses, he never expressed his feelings to her.

Because back then, Alex knew that a relationship between them was impossible.

Even though Lan Siruo was quite nice to Alex, Alex always understood in his heart that in a world where class divisions were becoming increasingly pronounced, there was an insurmountable chasm between them.

Alex didn't want to be a fawning admirer.

So he kept his feelings buried in his heart.

He told no one.

Times have changed, and the whole world has transformed.

Now, there were no longer any barriers between them.

Even if there were, it would be Lan Siruo who was not worthy of Alex.

Now, if Alex wanted to have Lan Siruo, it would be an effortless task.

But Alex no longer had the impulsive feelings of the past.

To him now, romantic feelings seemed like a laughable matter.

Reflecting on his past self-pity and anxiety, Alex couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

However, since they were friends, if Lan Siruo was in danger, Alex would still not hesitate to help.

Moreover, it was an opportunity to easily eliminate a wave of Class C zombies.

Alex refocused his attention, pushed off the ground with force, and swiftly sped toward Lan Siruo's location.

Meanwhile, Lan Siruo was in a dire situation, surrounded by over twenty Class C agile zombies in a corner, with no chance of escape.

Behind these agile zombies, there was a bizarre, spider-like zombie commanding the others.

This eerie zombie had three human heads, eight legs, and two pairs of arms.

It looked as if it were assembled from parts of many zombies.

It was ghastly and terrifying!

Every time the spider-like zombie opened its gaping mouth, it emitted a sound wave.

Lan Siruo would cry out in pain during the battle.

It was as if she was suffering from severe mental damage.

Originally, these Class C zombies couldn't harm her.

But under the influence of the spider-like zombie, Lan Siruo's movements were repeatedly interrupted.

She was hit by the zombies several times, sustaining injuries.

Finally, Lan Siruo had no more room to retreat!
