Chapter 65: I Killed Them All

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Ahead is Tianhai University. There are hardly any zombies around here; it looks like they’ve already been cleared out."

As a teacher at Tianhai University, Ye Piaopiao was naturally familiar with the area and led the group straight to the university gates.

Two days had passed.

Lin Yu and his companions had swept through everything along the way as if entering an uninhabited realm, annihilating any zombies they crossed paths with.

They had even slain seventy-two Tier-1 zombies.

Ye Piaopiao and Liu Shiyun had successively broken through to Tier-1 Level 5.

Lin Yu had reached Tier-1 Level 3, but he still had fifty-three Tier-1 cores in his possession, which was more than enough to propel him straight to Tier-1 Level 8 in one go.

Even those who had accompanied them simply to help collect crystal cores had all reached Level 10.

"Let's move."

Lin Yu felt a surge of excitement. In this lifetime, he would finally leave no regrets behind.

"Xiaoyou lives in Building 11, right?"

"Yes, I know the way." Lin Yu took the lead, barely containing his impatience.

It was now the thirtieth day of the apocalypse, exactly one month.

The zombies inside the university had mostly been cleared out by survivors, allowing the group to proceed unimpeded.

Soon, they arrived at Building 11, the freshman girls' dormitory.

Lin Yu rushed inside and found Xiaoyou's dorm room.

"How could this be?"

Gazing at the scene before him, Lin Yu furrowed his brow.

The door to Xiaoyou's dorm was wide open, and there were numerous bloodstains in the hallway.

Fortunately, Lin Yu found no blood or remains inside the room itself.

"Judging by this, she probably ran outside and isn't here," Liu Shiyun observed.

"There are likely still many survivors in the school; she might be with them."

"Let's go find someone to ask."

Hearing this, Lin Yu's frown deepened.

No one understood better than he did just how greedy and terrifying human nature could become in the apocalypse.

Lin Xiaoyou was attractive, a campus-belle-level beauty. Although her attributes had skyrocketed thanks to his arrangements, a full month had passed since the apocalypse began, and any formidable evolvers would likely have reached Tier-1 by now.

Therefore, Lin Yu was consumed by anxiety.

Stepping out of the dormitory building, Lin Yu began wandering the campus.

"At this hour, most survivors are probably out scavenging for supplies or hunting zombies. It's unlikely we'll run into anyone on campus," Liu Shiyun analyzed calmly.

"Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately headed outward.

After a few twists and turns, they finally discovered three survivors in an alley not far from the school.

The three were trapped, cornered by hundreds of zombies.

Lin Yu condensed a flaming blade in his right hand and slashed three times in succession.

A forty-meter-long blade wave swept past, slicing these Level 9 and Level 10 zombies neatly in two.

This display left the three survivors dumbfounded.

It was that effortless?

"Are you students of Tianhai University?" Lin Yu stepped closer and asked the three.

"Yes, we are students here."

"Bro, thanks for saving our lives!"

"Hey, it's Teacher Ye."

Someone recognized Ye Piaopiao and cried out in pleasant surprise.

Ye Piaopiao nodded and asked with a smile, "Do you know where Lin Xiaoyou is?"

"Lin Xiaoyou? I know."

"She seems to be in Zhao Qiu's group, one of the large factions on campus. They're over at the library."

"However, their group has had some issues these past couple of days, and it has something to do with Lin Xiaoyou..."

As one of the students spoke, he suddenly felt a chill run through his body. He looked up and met Lin Yu's murderous gaze.

His speech instantly faltered, and he could not continue.

"Spit it out."

A terrifying murderous intent emanated from Lin Yu, sending a shiver through everyone nearby.

"I... I heard that for some unknown reason, Zhao Qiu locked Lin Xiaoyou up."

"Let's go, to the library!"

Frost covered Lin Yu's face, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

Seeing this, Ye Piaopiao did not dare to delay and immediately took the lead to clear the path for the group.

...

Library.

Scny Monkey, flanked by a group of lackeys, pinched his nose as he walked toward Lin Xiaoyou's location.

"Lin Xiaoyou, what happened here? Where is Zhao Qiu? Why are all these people dead?"

Only then did Lin Xiaoyou slowly raise her head.

"You're finally back!"

"I've been waiting for you... for a very long time."

Her voice was soft, and a faint glimmer of light flickered in her eyes.

Hearing this, Skinny Monkey's gaze sharpened; he distinctly sensed that something was amiss.

Yet, for a moment, he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

"Monkey-哥 asked you a question! Why are all these people dead?" a lackey barked angrily.

"They were killed by someone!" Lin Xiaoyou replied expressionlessly.

"Who killed them?" Skinny Monkey frowned and asked, "And why are you unharmed?"

"Because..."

Lin Xiaoyou looked up at him and smiled chillingly, "I killed them all."

Silence descended upon the scene.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

"Damn it! Refusing to tell the truth, huh?" One lackey clearly still refused to believe it.

Yet the next moment, a flash of sword light swept past, and he clutched his throat and collapsed.

At this, Skinny Monkey and the others snapped back to reality and rapidly retreated. Following that, they all drew their weapons and assumed defensive stances.

The Lin Xiaoyou before them was simply too abnormal.

"Skinny Monkey, I've waited for you for a very long time!"

Lin Xiaoyou slowly stood up and pointed at the corpses on the ground. "They... have also been waiting for you for a very long time!"
