Chapter 64: The Ruthless Lin Xiaoyou

Ten minutes later.

The two of them returned to the library once again, and Fang Siqi was already at death's door.

Feeling Lin Xiaoyou come to a halt, she forced her eyes open, but the next moment, her stomach churned violently.

Smashed corpses, severed limbs, and broken legs were scattered everywhere, and a pungent stench of blood saturated every square inch of the space.

"Ugh!"

Fang Siqi's face turned even paler as she retched continuously, feeling as though she was about to vomit up her very bile.

Even with her malicious nature, she could not endure such a hellish scene.

Lin Xiaoyou dropped her onto the floor, picked up a blade, and gestured with it near Fang Siqi's face.

"Xiaoyou, what are you doing?"

"No... Don't, I beg you, spare me!"

Fang Siqi's eyes widened in horror, as if she had just recalled something terrifying.

Holding the knife, Lin Xiaoyou suddenly brought it down.

She slashed a cut across Fang Siqi's left cheek.

"This cut is for when I opened the door and let you all into the dorm."

Finishing her words, Lin Xiaoyou delivered another slash.

"This cut is for when I shared my own food with you."

"This cut is for when I saved your life during the zombie cleanup in the cafeteria."

"This cut is for your biting the hand that fed you, teaming up with Zhao Qiu to deal with me."

"And this cut is for the vicious scheme you devised just to break my will."

With every sentence Lin Xiaoyou uttered, she carved another cut onto Fang Siqi's face.

By now, the other girl's face was covered in bloody lacerations.

The harrowing experiences of this period had made Lin Xiaoyou fully comprehend the true nature of humanity and utter despair.

She finally understood what her brother had told her.

"Lin Xiaoyou, you bitch, if you have the guts, just kill me!" Unable to bear the torture any longer, Fang Siqi mustered all her remaining strength and shrieked curses.

"Very well. Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."

Lin Xiaoyou's tone was eerily calm as she gently took hold of Fang Siqi's hand.

Then...

A blade swept past.

She cut a small slit across Fang Siqi's wrist, from which crimson blood began to trickle out.

Then, repeating the process methodically, she opened a small slit on each of Fang Siqi's four limbs.

"Suicides by slitting wrists in television shows are always portrayed this way."

"Now, properly experience the fading of your life."

Having finished everything, Lin Xiaoyou discarded the knife, walked over to a corner, drew her knees up to her chest, and sat leaning against a stone pillar.

She did not leave.

Because things were not yet over.

She was waiting for someone.

A gentle breeze drifted by, stirring the thick stench of blood lingering throughout the room, making the atmosphere all the more desolate.

Left entirely alone in the corpse-strewn library, Lin Xiaoyou cut a bizarre and deeply lonely figure.

She was waiting for someone she had sworn to kill.

...

Inside a large supermarket at a short distance from Tianhai University.

A squad of around twenty people was busy sorting through their spoils.

"Brother Monkey, we've got great luck today. We actually ran into a Tier-1 zombie with both hands severed."

"Yeah, that means Brother Monkey can advance to Tier 1 now and never have to take orders from that bastard Zhao Qiu again."

Surrounding Skinny Monkey, a group of lackeys beamed and flattered him enthusiastically.

"And that bitch Lin Xiaoyou has always been going against us. So what if we raped a few female students? She just wouldn't let it go."

"Exactly. Once Brother Monkey ranks up, we'll go straight over and have some fun with that bitch."

Someone said with a lewd laugh.

"Haha, well said. Once I advance in a moment, we'll go and seize control," Skinny Monkey waved his hand toward his subordinates and promised, "Rest assured, brothers, follow me, and you'll have fine food, good wine, and pretty women to sleep with."

"Woo—"

The crowd broke into whistles, looking extremely pumped up.

Before long.

Skinny Monkey successfully broke through his bottleneck, becoming a Tier-1 powerhouse just as he wished.

"Brothers, follow me. Let's head back and take care of business."

With a grand sweep of his arm, he led his gang in the direction of the library.

An hour later.

Skinny Monkey, accompanied by over forty lackeys, made a grand and imposing appearance outside the library.

They chattered and bantered noisily.

"Huh? What is this smell?"

"So disgusting!"

The moment they stepped into the library, they were hit by a nauseating stench that almost made them throw up.

"Damn it, what are Zhao Qiu and the others doing? They almost made me barf up what I just ate," someone cursed irritably.

"This smell..."

"It smells like fresh blood."

Skinny Monkey narrowed his eyes. With such a heavy reek of blood, quite a few people must have died.

"Could they have had an internal conflict?"

"Or did some other evolvers attack?"

Considering this possibility, the crowd grew vigilant, slowly making their way further inside.

"This..."

As they walked deep into the library, everyone was dumbfounded by the sight before them.

It was nothing short of a living hell.

Corpses littered the floor, every single one of them mutilated, with severed limbs and broken arms scattered about indiscriminately.

Pools of blood stained the ground red, emitting an atmosphere that made it difficult to breathe.

"Brother Monkey, these are all Zhao Qiu's people. They're all dead, and not a single corpse is intact."

After conducting a brief inspection, the men reported to Skinny Monkey, their faces grim.

Such a gruesome sight was enough to turn even their faces completely pale with fright.

"Boss, there's still someone here."

"It's... It's Lin Xiaoyou!"

"She's still alive."

At that moment, someone spotted Lin Xiaoyou, who was huddled with her knees pulled to her chest in the corner.

Hearing this, Skinny Monkey's heart leapt with joy.

As long as she was alive, it was fine.

He had been lusting after this campus belle and female university student for a very long time.
