Chapter 38: Is the Teacher Turning into a Zombie?
Two hours later, Liu Yang received a system notification.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully expanding your lineage! The dark space ability has increased by one level! Because the host has succeeded for seven consecutive days, all ability levels are granted an extra level upgrade as a reward!"
Upon receiving this prompt, Liu Yang was overjoyed. The Seven-Kill Overgod reward system was indeed living up to its name!
Liu Yang checked his stats.
The dark space had been upgraded to level 5. Originally 30×30×30 = 27,000 cubic meters, it had now expanded to 50×50×50 = 125,000 cubic meters!
It had increased by nearly fourfold!
The supplies he had scavenged from the supermarket, which previously looked somewhat substantial when piled up, now appeared like a mere tiny mound inside the vast expanse.
Liu Yang shook his head. "It seems my speed of scavenging resources cannot keep up with the rate at which the dark space expands. This space is simply too empty; I must continue gathering resources!"
On the other side.
Although Zhang Jingyu had previously fled with her older brother without suffering from hunger, after two hours of intense combat, she was completely exhausted and collapsed on the bed.
After all, Liu Yang was no longer who he used to be.
His strength, speed, spirit, and stamina were now 16.5 times that of an ordinary person.
His two hours were entirely different from anyone else's two hours.
Because his enhanced speed was 16 times that of an ordinary person!
In the exact same amount of time, he could accomplish far more of... that certain activity...
Therefore, just a few minutes in, Zhang Jingyu had already started begging Liu Yang for mercy.
However, with his desires fully inflamed, how could Liu Yang possibly pay attention to that? He relentlessly tormented Zhang Jingyu for another full two hours!
Having experienced a man for the very first time, she never expected it to be so intense.
At this moment, her eyes were vacant as she stared blankly at the ceiling, still murmuring to herself, "I'm so tired, I'm truly exhausted ♡ I feel like I'm going to die ♡, thank goodness there are quite a few other girls living in this villa... If I were the only one, I doubt I'd last a week before being worn to death by you ♡~"
Observing her condition, Liu Yang found it rather amusing.
He helplessly rubbed his chin and muttered, "Why does every single woman on my bed say they're dying? Am I really that powerful?"
"Powerful? You're practically a humanoid machine! Which girl could possibly withstand such torment from you? It's downright fatal~♡" Zhang Jingyu complained in a weak voice.
"Alright, alright, then you get some good rest. I'm tired too, going to sleep." With that, Liu Yang dropped his head and fell fast asleep.
Though utterly exhausted, Zhang Jingyu had no intention of sleeping just yet.
As she gazed at the soundly sleeping Liu Yang beside her, the more she looked at him, the more she adored him.
Her older brother Zhang Jinglin had tragically died at the hands of a mutated tree, but fortunately, she had crossed paths with Liu Yang. Otherwise, even if she had managed to avoid being killed by the tree, she would have been captured by the giant bear and his men who were right on her trail, and then dragged back to the Black Tiger Base.
The mere thought of the leader of the Black Tiger Survivor Base—with his yellow teeth, protruding belly, and repulsive fat and dark appearance—made her want to vomit.
Compared to Liu Yang, that Black Tiger was nothing more than a piece of dog shit.
She was truly fortunate to have met Liu Yang and to become his woman. This was nothing short of a blessing from the heavens!
Even amidst the apocalypse, Zhang Jingyu felt profoundly happy at this very moment.
With a curved smile on her lips, she secretly planted a kiss on the sleeping Liu Yang, and only then did she slowly drift off to sleep.
...
The next day.
When Liu Yang and Zhang Jingyu woke up, it was already noon.
Su Xiao and the others had long since prepared lunch. The moment they saw Liu Yang and Zhang Jingyu emerge, they hurried over with beaming smiles.
"Liu Yang, Little Jingyu, come have lunch! We had just finished cooking when you two woke up, what perfect timing!"
"Alright." Liu Yang nodded.
Accompanied by Zhang Jingyu, he entered Su Xiao's dormitory, which was already packed with female students.
Every single one of them cast looks of envy the moment they saw Zhang Jingyu.
As for Zhao Yuting, the instant she laid eyes on Liu Yang, her face flushed red and her eyes darted away, not even daring to meet his gaze directly. She was afraid that if she looked at his handsome face, she would no longer be able to suppress the agonizing craving burning in her heart.
Initially, she had felt out of place among these students because she wasn't "perverted" enough, but now, after a few days, she felt as though she was the most depraved of them all, yearning for... that feeling every single second.
This craving made her obsess over those matters day and night; she felt like her brain was breaking.
Yet oddly enough.
Liu Yang noticed Zhao Yuting's unusual behavior.
Her face was flushed, her gaze evasive, her head lowered, and her breathing somewhat shallow.
Wait, why did this look somewhat like...
Like the prelude to turning into a zombie?!
Frowning slightly, he asked with genuine concern, "Yuting, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The others stopped what they were doing and simultaneously turned their gazes toward Zhao Yuting.
The room fell instantly silent.
"Ah..." Zhao Yuting never expected Liu Yang to initiate a conversation with her. Startled, she jerked her head up, locking eyes directly with Liu Yang's caring gaze.
That single glance set her heart fluttering wildly.
There is nothing more terrifying than a sudden silence in the air, and nothing more dreaded than sudden concern from a friend...
At this moment, Zhao Yuting felt her desires churning restlessly within her chest, aching and impossible to calm.
The craving deep in her heart opened wide once more, thirsting for the nourishment of rain.
*I want to be your woman,* Zhao Yuting desperately wished she could voice these words aloud.
Regrettably, she was a shy and traditional woman.
With a reddening face, she could only shake her head. "N-nothing's wrong."
"Oh, as long as you're fine. Everyone, let's eat then." Liu Yang felt relieved.
The zombies in this campus had long since been completely cleared out by him; how could Zhao Yuting possibly be infected?
It seemed he was just overthinking things.
Was this what they meant by "panic stems from deep care"?
Liu Yang felt deeply grateful to Zhao Yuting for protecting him when he was injured.
Therefore, he did not want any harm to befall her.
Hearing her say she was fine, his mind finally at ease.
As Zhao Yuting watched Liu Yang's gaze drift away from her, the tension in her heart eased, yet a trace of disappointment washed over her.
She was afraid of Liu Yang's attention, yet simultaneously craved it.
Torn by these contradictory emotions, she ate her meal absent-mindedly.
Even though Chen Dan's cooking was exceptionally delicious, to her, it tasted like chewing wax.
Soon after, Liu Yang finished his meal and returned to his dormitory. He planned to run some more simulations and raid a few more large supermarkets.
There were still three large supermarkets near the school. Although they were all a bit farther away than the first one, Liu Yang was now immensely powerful and had no fear of distance.
After all, following his successful and vigorous lineage expansion with Zhang Jingyu last night, his dark space had upgraded once again into a 50×50×50 meter dimension. The entire inventory of a single supermarket piled inside didn't even take up a tenth of the space.
It looked far too empty.
And that displeased him.
He absolutely refused to let his dark space remain so desolate; it went entirely against his personal style.
Therefore, he had to pack it completely full to the brim!
