Chapter 43: The Predicament of the Campus Beauty

Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed drastically.

The woman's expression shifted just as violently as she turned and bolted for the door.

Ye Feng flicked his wrist, and the arrow he had fired earlier instantly flew backward in a counter-attack.

Swish!

The piercing arrow first transfixed the woman's neck, then pierced straight through the man's heart!

Splat! Splat!

A double kill with a single arrow!

Ye Feng had achieved a double kill with one strike.

The two collapsed to the ground, lifeless, as fresh blood slowly pooled around them.

Even in death, expressions of utter terror remained frozen on their faces.

Ye Feng's demeanor remained calm and completely unruffled.

When it came to those who attempted to harm him, regardless of who they were, he would never show mercy.

There was only one possible outcome for them: death!

With a single thought in his mind.

Ye Feng stored the remaining hotpot ingredients into his spatial storage, then walked over to the window.

He leaped straight out.

The wind whistled loudly past Ye Feng's ears.

Thud!

Ye Feng tapped his toes lightly against the wall and descended smoothly to the ground.

Though the sound of his landing was extremely faint, it still alerted the surrounding zombies.

However, when they raised their heads to look, they failed to spot any targets... and could only continue wandering around in utter bewilderment.

Ye Feng strolled leisurely down the street.

Just at that moment, his phone vibrated.

Ye Feng took out his phone to check the notification, a flash of delight crossing his eyes.

The message was sent by Nan Shiyin.

"Senior Ye Feng? Name your conditions, anything at all!"

"I am in desperate need of an Esper's help right now."

Then a second message followed.

"Senior Ye Feng, my current location is the Second Library of Jiangcheng University, specifically the reading room on the west side of the third floor... We are being stalked by an extremely terrifying mutant dog!"

"I don't want to lie to you, this mutant dog is immensely powerful. Awakeners with Epic-tier abilities have already met miserable deaths at its claws, and there are relevant reports online..."

"The entire Jiangcheng Library has become the territory of this mutant beast, as well as a forbidden zone for humans... We are unfortunately trapped here, and we could lose our lives at any second!"

Nan Shiyin's words were permeated with anxiety.

A glint of joy flashed in Ye Feng's eyes.

The campus belle goddess was still alive, and moreover, she was living through exceptionally grueling circumstances...

This situation... was simply fantastic!

The corners of Ye Feng's mouth curled up slightly.

This predicament happened to make it convenient for him to kick someone while they were down... No, rather, to provide timely assistance in the snow.

As for a terrifying mutant dog?

Was that even worth mentioning?

At this point in time, creatures more terrifying than him hadn't even been born yet!

Ye Feng made his reply without a moment's hesitation.

"I can go rescue you. A mere mutant dog might seem formidable to you guys, but to me, it's nothing special at all!"

Just a few seconds after the message was sent, Nan Shiyin replied:

"That's wonderful, Senior Ye Feng!"

"Hurry up and come save me!"

"You really are such a good person!"

Ye Feng: "..."

Damn it, am I getting handed a good guy card?

Little girl, I'm about to show you the cruelty of this world!

"Sorry, I'm no good person!"

"Just like the message I sent out earlier, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you want to stay alive, you have to pay the corresponding price..."

"I only step in to save people under certain conditions."

Nan Shiyin: "What... what condition?"

Ye Feng: "The condition is extremely simple: become my woman!!"

Ye Feng had set his sights on her for more than a day or two.

So he decided to cut straight to the chase.

Simple, direct, crude, and efficient.

What?

You say you shouldn't pursue a goddess like this... that you need to build emotional rapport.

My brother, look at what time it is; the apocalypse has arrived.

Talking about romance in the end times—isn't that just asking for trouble when you have nothing better to do?

Therefore, Ye Feng made his ugly terms clear upfront.

If you agree, I'll go save you.

If you disagree... go ahead and wait for death!

Anyway, there are plenty of pretty women in this world; she isn't the only one... even though she truly is gorgeous.

Right at that moment, a reply popped up on the screen of Ye Feng's phone.

The message was just a single short line:

"Senior Ye Feng, I agree to your conditions. But it really is dangerous here, and the mutant dog is especially terrifying. Please make sure to be careful."

A flicker of pleasant surprise crossed Ye Feng's eyes, and the corners of his lips curved upward.

She knows how the game is played!

Judging purely by looks, Nan Shiyin of Jiangcheng University was practically the most stunning woman Ye Feng had ever laid eyes on—the absolute ceiling of beauty.

She was even prettier and more attractive than certain female celebrities.

Ye Feng sent a message:

"Hang in there and don't die, I'll be right there!"

"What mutant dog? It'll be turned to ashes with a flick of a finger!"

Ye Feng put away his phone, his figure flashed, and he vanished from the spot.

...

Jiangcheng University, Library.

A reading room on the third floor.

Six men and two women, a total of eight students, were hiding here, huddled together in a corner.

Every single one of them was pale-faced and numb with despair.

The campus belle Nan Shiyin was among them.

However, unlike the others, a hint of anticipation flickered in the depths of her brows at this moment.

"Senior, Ye Feng...!"

"An Esper..."

"I wonder if Senior Ye Feng will be able to arrive as promised..."

"With a flick of a finger... that sounds completely unbelievable no matter how you think about it!"

Nan Shiyin sighed helplessly in her heart.

She actually didn't quite believe Ye Feng's talk about turning things to ashes with a flick of a finger.

After all, the strength of that mutant Chow Chow was simply too terrifying...

Yet, having fallen into utter desperation, she desperately needed this shred of hope.

Besides, she had already truthfully informed Ye Feng of the situation here.

Since Ye Feng still remained full of confidence...

Then his strength should, probably, perhaps be decent... right.

She hoped Ye Feng could rescue her before the mutant Chow Chow arrived.

Thinking of that terrifyingly powerful mutant Chow Chow...

Nan Shiyin couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.

When the apocalypse descended, Nan Shiyin had hidden inside the snack shop within the library, narrowly escaping the first wave of the zombie onslaught!

Relying on the snacks and pastries from the shop, Nan Shiyin and the other survivors had spent a few peaceful days.

Later on, as time passed, the food inside the library gradually ran low.

Just as panic was starting to set in among the crowd, two Espers emerged from the survivors.

One was named Wang Haoxuan, a junior student whose ability was the rare-tier Metallization.

The other was Li Donghai, a school counselor whose ability was the Epic-tier Ice Power.

Under their leadership, everyone worked together to kill some of the zombies inside the library and scavenged some survival resources.

Unfortunately, just as the situation inside the building was looking up.

A nightmare descended abruptly!!
