Chapter 10: A Massive Haul

Bonnie was about to step forward to intervene, but Eric stopped her.

Eric said helplessly, "Jeremy said he won't kill Lisa, just teach her a lesson. But if anyone dares to stop him, he wouldn't mind killing Lisa outright."

Bonnie halted in her tracks, angrily retorting, "Has Jeremy lost his mind? Can't he find another way? Why must he resort to such extreme measures!"

"Maybe Lisa just happened to cross his line." Eric shrugged, somewhat understanding Jeremy's thinking. After all, Jeremy's creation of liquid explosives was unlikely for mere amusement.

In the sports field.

"Jeremy, please, I beg you. Let me go. I really realize my mistake now!" Lisa cried bitterly on the chair, pleading continuously, her earlier sharp demeanor gone.

Jeremy didn't look at her but instead stared into the darkness. As the scent of blood and Lisa's cries spread, he could clearly see pairs of crimson, violent eyes opening in the dark.

"They're coming!" Jeremy's pupils gradually filled with a bloody hue. Holding a rope connected to the wheelchair, he was fully focused, ready to seize the moment to start gathering the monsters.

Given his limited supply of liquid explosives, he needed to gather the monsters together to maximize the benefits.

"Roar!!!"

Soon, furious roars erupted, and one monster after another charged out of the darkness, rushing towards Jeremy and Lisa with fierce momentum.

Seeing a horde of terrifying monsters rushing towards her like a tidal wave, Lisa turned pale. Her eyes filled with an overwhelming fear.

A pungent smell of urine emanated from her, making Jeremy frown.

This woman really was pathetic, scared to the point of wetting herself.

The commotion also alarmed others in the school.

Eyes hidden in the shadows turned towards the two in the sports field, filled with astonishment.

A teacher exclaimed in shock, "Has this person gone mad? Making such a big scene! Isn't he afraid of being torn apart by the monsters?"

A student wondered, "That looks like our teacher Lisa. Why is she... tied to a chair?"

"Isn't that Jeremy?" A student from the senior class recognized Jeremy.

"It is Jeremy! What is he planning to do?"

In the senior class classroom, others hearing this came over to look.

They remembered deeply what Jeremy had said before the apocalypse erupted, which was why they had survived until now.

As everyone wondered what Jeremy was planning to do, the next scene made everyone's eyes widen.

In the sports field, as the horde charged towards him, Jeremy saw the timing was right and pulled the rope, running in another direction. The powerful force also moved the wheelchair along.

"What are you doing?" Lisa, sitting in the wheelchair, turned pale with fear.

Jeremy didn't answer, pulling Lisa along the track of the sports field at a fast pace.

Lisa couldn't stop screaming in terror, with ferocious monsters chasing right behind her.

And as the noise grew louder, more and more monsters joined the pursuit.

Seeing Lisa, who was almost fainting from fear, and the monsters behind them, everyone fell silent.

The thought of being in Lisa's place sent shivers down their spines.

At this moment, everyone felt that Jeremy was even more of a beast than the monsters themselves. However, they also understood Jeremy's intention. It was clear he wanted to lure the monsters together.

But what was he gathering them for? Did he have a way to kill these monsters?

Jeremy didn't bother chasing them. Instead, he walked among the piles of monster corpses, finishing off those that were dying.

[You have killed a Level 2 Werewolf, earning 16 experience points!]

[You have killed a Level 2 Black Tiger, earning 15 experience points!]

[You have killed a Level 4 Orc, earning 63 experience points!]

...

Reaching level 7 required over 800 experience points. Although these monsters were low-level and gave modest amounts of experience, their sheer numbers significantly boosted Jeremy's experience, bringing him closer to level 7.

After collecting all the energy crystals and eradicating the monsters, Jeremy cleaned up the battlefield and tallied his loot. He found a total of 44 first-order energy crystals and 4 iron-grade equipment pieces.

An additional piece of equipment was discovered during the cleanup of severely injured monsters, guided by the prompts from the Eye of Omniscience, with 12 of the crystals also acquired this way. The Eye of Omniscience guaranteed equipment drops with its prompts, substantially increasing Jeremy's haul.

What surprised Jeremy the most was that he even acquired a piece of purple-quality iron-grade equipment!

These were items that could significantly enhance his strength, not to mention the bronze treasure chest he possessed.

After today, Jeremy's power was bound to surge dramatically, putting him far ahead of other players!
