It's a morning that marks over ten days since the apocalypse began.
The vicinity of Yancheng University, particularly the deeper parts of the school, has been nearly cleared of monsters.
However, today, the scent of blood in this area is unusually potent.
At the entrance of the dormitory, over a dozen lifeless bodies are scattered haphazardly.
Blood is splattered everywhere.
It's only a matter of time before these strong odour of blood draw in a large number of monsters.
But Chu Feng is indifferent to this impending danger.
His focus is singular to eliminate Lu Yu first.
Lu Yu, this despicable individual, has taken everything Chu Feng held dear.
Wei Jianjun, a formidable ally , Yan Yun, his beloved, his magical weapon from his past life.
And the hidden treasures of this world.
All these were meant to be his, they should belong to him!
But now… all of these have fallen into the hands of the man standing opposite him?
And that's not all.
Upon seeing Chu Feng, this detestable man deliberately set a trap for him.
A trap that Chu Feng is currently unable to decipher.
This trap has caused everyone to side with the opposition.
Even his own teammates are no exception.
This despicable man, Lu Yu, is hypocritical and repulsive to the extreme.
Seeing Dai Lian, Wang Chao, and the others retreat into the distance, Chu Feng is seething with rage.
Although he is aware that he might no longer be a match for Lu Yu, he is left with no other choice.
Facing Chu Feng, Wei Jianjun was puzzled as to how Chu Feng knew his name. He was certain they had never met before. He speculated that Chu Feng might have awakened a unique ability that allowed him to access Wei Jianjun's personal information.
This thought didn't bother him much.
As Chu Feng approached, Wei Jianjun greeted him without hesitation, leading to another round of combat between them.
"Make way, Wei Jianjun. You're aiding Lu Yu in his wrongdoings!"
"Young man, what absurdities are you uttering?"
"I...damn..."
Chu Feng, on the verge of revealing the truth, held back, fearing he would be deemed insane if he mentioned anything about rebirth. Despite his predicament, he decided to continue fighting.
The question of who was stronger between Chu Feng and Wei Jianjun was complex. They were both high-level black iron, indicating similar strength levels.
However, Chu Feng was injured, which could affect his performance. Wei Jianjun, a retired special forces soldier, had superior physical strength and agility compared to the average person, giving him an edge in physical fitness.
Yet, when it came to fighting skills, Chu Feng, who had survived the apocalypse, was superior.
The fight was not just between Chu Feng and Wei Jianjun. Lu Yu's side also included a bronze-ranked dog and a bronze-ranked monkey.
With the addition of the 'Black Handsome' to the battlefield, Chu Feng began to lose ground, showing signs of impending defeat.
Boom! And then, a loud explosion echoed.
In order to evade the attack of the mutant dog, Chu Feng is hit by Wei Jianjun and sent flying.
After landing and regaining his balance, Chu Feng doesn't pause, he casually rubs the injured area and charges forward again.
In the midst of this battle
In a one-on-one combat scenario, Chu Feng, our main character, stands a strong chance of emerging victorious against any opponent or creature.
However, currently confronted with Wei Jianjun and a Bronze Elementary Mutant Dog simultaneously, he finds himself somewhat overwhelmed.
But it's not all bad!
After all, the hero is the hero.
Even when pushed into a corner by Lu Yu, he still possesses the strength to resist.
As the intensity of the battlefield escalated…
After Chu Feng skillfully evaded Hei Shuai's assault, he managed to repel Wei Jianjun with a swift ax swing.
Without a second thought, he sidestepped with his right foot and clasped his hands together.
"Bastard, since you want to fight, I'll accompany you to the end…"
Boom!
The moment Chu Feng crossed his hands, his aura began to surge dramatically.
His clothes and hair fluttered as if caught in an invisible wind.
It was as though a massive energy field had enveloped him!
At this juncture, two lizardmen, drawn by the scent of blood, emerged from the nearby woods.
"Lizardmen?"
"Fuck, not good!"
"Quick, let's get out of here!"
Upon witnessing this scene, the other survivors hastily retreated towards the dormitory building.
The overpowering smell of blood here is a beacon for monsters. Given that there are already monsters present, it's inevitable that more will be attracted.
Without any hesitation, they fled.
Upon spotting the two lizardmen, Lu Yu, who was standing next to Li Wanning, also narrowed his eyes.
"Miss Li, quickly seek refuge in the dormitory."
"Oh, alright!"
Li Wanning rose to her feet, but then seemed to remember something
"But what about Shen Bin, student Lu Yu…"
"At a time like this, you're still concerned about others?"
Lu Yu's brow furrowed slightly, and he glanced around, growing somewhat irritated
"If it's death you seek, I'll gladly oblige…"
"I…"
"Move!"
Lu Yu suddenly shouts.
Li Wanning trembles.
As if waking from a dream, she looks at Lu Yu, then at Shen Bin, and then grits her teeth.
"Okay, I'll go!"
Upon uttering her words, she was devoid of any lingering sentimentality. She swiftly pivoted and sprinted towards the dormitory.
"Wanning…Wanning, you mustn't leave!"
As Shen Bin watched Li Wanning's retreating figure, disbelief clouded his eyes.
Having survived the apocalypse for numerous days, his elite status allowed him to adapt quicker than most.
His trust didn't extend to anyone, Lu Yu included.
His reason for accompanying Li Wanning was simple.
He couldn't bear the thought of the woman he cherished being pursued by other men.
Chu Feng's kick was something he couldn't withstand at all!
Little did he know, in these end times, weakness was the cardinal sin!
In such a post-apocalyptic setting, Shen Bin understood the implications of sustaining such an injury.
Yet, when he saw Li Wanning turn her back, his heart was filled with resistance.
"Lu Yu, what's your intention?"
As he watched Li Wanning depart, Shen Bin, clutching his chest, rebuked Lu Yu furiously,
"Why did you allow Wanning to leave?"
Lu Yu merely cast him a glance and disregarded him.
His attention, instead, was riveted on Chu Feng, who had suddenly erupted in power.
"Xiao Jin, assist them quickly!"
Squeak!
Upon receiving the command, Xiao Jin grumbled and rushed towards Chu Feng on all fours.
Chu Feng was really the protagonist.
On the brink of death, he could still muster such explosive power.
At this juncture, Chu Feng had somehow managed to elevate his combat prowess by more than a single tier!
Lu Yu doesn't know how he managed to increase his combat power by more than one level. His forehead veins are protruding, and his skin and eyes have turned red, making him resemble a rampaging monster.
The Black Handsome has been defeated, and Wei Jianjun is being dominated by Chu Feng. Lu Yu, not daring to be negligent, swiftly instructs Xiao Jin to help while holding the Qingshou sword.
"Damn it, Lu Yu, you bastard, answer my question now!"
Shen Bin, seeing Lu Yu's indifferent expression and realizing that he doesn't care about him at all, can't help but get angry.
He had been living comfortably in Lu Yu's team, with plenty of food and Water, and everyone treating him courteously. Such days made him forget about Lu Yu's strength and the fact that Lu Yu is the team's core.
"What did you just say?"
Lu Yu's eyes narrow slightly as he hears Shen Bin's curse, and he turns his head slightly to look at him. It's just a normal turn, but his usually clear eyes are devoid of any emotion, only filled with a murderous intent.
"I…I…I was asking why you wanted Wan Ning to leave?"
Sensing something off about Lu Yu's gaze, Shen Bin quickly changes his words.
"No, no, no, what was the second thing you said me?"
"Me…"
"I..I..I…."
As Lu Yu poses his question with an air of indifference, Shen Bin is gripped by fear, breaking out in a cold sweat.
It's only then that he recalls that the young man standing before him is not just a savage beast, but also a killer.
"Lu… Lu Yu… I was just…
I didn't mean to… I…"
Shen Bin stammers, but before he can finish his sentence, a chilling light flashes across his neck.
Immediately after, Shen Bin clutches his neck, looking at Lu Yu with a look of disbelief as blood seeps rapidly from between his fingers.
"Why… why…"
His voice is hoarse and broken, a result of not having had water for a long time and having his throat slit by Lu Yu. He is utterly bewildered.
He had merely reprimanded the other party unintentionally.
Why would that lead to his death?
"You're intelligent, shouldn't you have figured it out?"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's hint, Shen Bin has a sudden realization.
"Wan… Wanning…
It's Wan Ning… So that's it…"
"Your purpose was to escalate the tension between you and Chu Feng, all the while ensuring her safety.
If not for this, why do you suppose I would tolerate your presence, Old Man?"
Lu Yu didn't bother to glance at Shen Bin.
Instead, he scoffed and shifted his gaze towards Chu Feng, who was on the battlefield.
He declared, "You have now become redundant, so… rest easy.
Chu Feng has already beaten you into a critical condition.
I will seek retribution for you!"
