Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 36: Are You Hungry?

Lu Yurou saw a young man wielding a knife, slashing at zombies. In front of him, the bodies of zombies were already piling up, and more were continuously rushing up from the hallway. She watched the young man bravely fighting the zombies and felt a sense of admiration she couldn't quite understand. This feeling surprised her; she had never admired any man before, not even her father. Even when her father died protecting her a few days ago, she hadn't felt much.

Perhaps she was just naturally too rational and cold. "Quick, come inside for shelter! These zombies will keep coming if they hear noise! It's dangerous outside!" Lu Yurou urged anxiously.

Alex turned to look at Lu Yurou through the security window. The beautiful professor was still as gorgeous as ever, and also very kind-hearted. Although her hair was disheveled and her flawless face was stained with blood, her noble and elegant beauty couldn't be concealed. Unlike Tang Jingyan and Li Wan'ning, Lu Yurou possessed a mature charm, like a ripe peach, full and juicy, tempting one to take a bite.

Feeling Lu Yurou's concern, Alex was somewhat amused. Did he look like someone afraid of zombies? After swiftly taking down several zombies at the front, Alex darted into Lu Yurou's room the moment she opened the door.

"What you did was very dangerous, do you know that? These zombies are endless; the more you kill, the more they come. They attack like crazy when they hear noise. I've seen several fearless people get swallowed by zombie hordes. Although you're brave, it's better not to run around recklessly."

Lu Yurou spoke like an elder educating a child, showing a blend of concern and instructiveness. She was pleased to have contact with a living person after a long time, especially under the harsh survival conditions of the apocalypse, which made her feel a good impression of Alex, almost like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. The typically icy beauty became warm and welcoming.

Alex looked around the teacher's dormitory, which consisted of spacious single rooms. Lu Yurou's room was also neatly arranged, with a few books on the living room table, clearly indicating that the beautiful professor spent her lonely time reading.

"How did you get here, student?" Lu Yurou, noticing that Alex didn't seem to take her warning to heart, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I came over when I heard your call for help."

Lu Yurou paused slightly, then pointed towards the male dormitory opposite them, "Are you with those guys?"

Following Lu Yurou's direction, Alex also saw a few boys staring in their direction. These boys had probably witnessed Alex moving agilely like Spider-Man and effortlessly killing zombies, leaving them dumbfounded.

Alex felt somewhat speechless. So, the beautiful professor wasn't calling out to him for help, but to the boys across? However, from Lu Yurou's window, the view of the City of Darkness was indeed blocked by the girls' dormitory, making it impossible to see anything.

"Then I might have misunderstood..." Alex scratched his head awkwardly, pretending to be concerned, "Professor Lu, do you still have food?"

"Are you hungry?" Lu Yurou turned around enthusiastically, took out a cup of water and a bowl of rice from the kitchen, "I have plenty of food here. If you're hungry, eat as much as you like!"

Lu Yurou's response once again left Alex speechless.

"I'm not hungry," Alex waved his hand, "I have food."

"Do you have enough water?" Alex asked again.

"I thought I was running out, but then I discovered that although the zombie virus spreads through water, and 100 degrees Celsius heat can't kill it, if you boil the water for a longer time, it becomes safe to drink. So, I'm not short of water now." This was a risky lesson Lu Yurou had learned in desperation.

"As for food, I'm usually quite lazy, so my father stocked my kitchen with lots of rice and flour. The food I have could probably last us both for over a month," Lu Yurou recounted knowledgeably.

Indeed, these provisions were purchased by Lu Yurou's father. In addition to staples like rice and flour, there were also many types of meats and vegetables. However, most of the meat and vegetables were consumed by her after the apocalypse began.

Her father had always believed that restaurants outside were unhealthy, so he strongly insisted that Lu Yurou eat at home. But due to a falling out with her parents over her personal life, Lu Yurou refused to go home. Her father, having no other choice, often personally bought food and delivered it to her dormitory, hoping she would cook for herself. Nonetheless, Lu Yurou continued to dine out, leading to an abundance of food left in her kitchen by coincidence.
