Chapter 26: The Crazed Rioters

After gaining a new superpower, Shen Yi was in a great mood!

At last, he truly possessed the ability to protect himself in the apocalypse!

Teleportation had a maximum range of 20 meters, and no one could keep up with him!

As long as he reacted fast enough, he could even dodge bullets!

Moreover, Teleportation could still level up!

“Honey, weren’t there a lot of people who followed us into the complex just now?” Jiang Nanyan asked worriedly after washing the fruit, sitting beside Shen Yi while she peeled an apple for him.

“Yeah, they tailed us the whole way.”

Shen Yi’s hearing was far keener than that of the women, so he had noticed the stalkers long ago.

Of course, the ones tailing them were not the blond classmate but some other people.

Strictly speaking, it was not even stalking; those men had popped up all of a sudden, probably intending to hit this neighborhood anyway, and after bumping into Shen Yi’s group they simply grew malicious.

By now, order no longer existed.

Even the school had plunged into chaos.

The world outside could only be worse.

“Do you think they’ll hide downstairs and wait for us, then jump us when we go down?” Jiang Nanyan asked as she fed a peeled tangerine to Shen Yi.

Reclining on the sofa, Shen Yi accepted the tangerine and said, “If they’re bad guys, they won’t wait downstairs; they’ll try to smash their way in.”

“Th-then aren’t we in serious danger? The unit door has some protective strength, but it definitely can’t stop a group of rioters.”

Bai Xinyi could not help growing anxious.

When she had left the campus earlier, she had seen students slaughtering one another and had already realized that social order had collapsed.

If a mob really broke into the building, everyone would suffer!

She wanted to call the police, but the emergency line simply would not connect.

Xu Wanting’s focus was different; seeing Jiang Nanyan waiting on Shen Yi, she instantly cursed the bitch in her heart, put down her half-eaten tangerine, and hurried over to massage Shen Yi’s shoulders.

With the two women vying for favor, the one who benefited was naturally Shen Yi.

That was exactly why he never stopped their little battleground.

“Honey, it’s just like you said, they’re breaking in!” Jiang Nanyan reported gravely while looking at her phone.

Her screen showed the group chat of the complex.

A resident on the 1st floor had posted a video.

In the footage, a group of men brandished assorted weapons and attacked the lobby door with brutal force.

The glass windows had already been shattered, and the door was warped.

The racket they made was thunderous, as if they were not afraid of attracting monsters at all!

Noticing that, Jiang Nanyan wondered aloud, “Could it be that there are no mutant animals in our complex, or do these guys actually have the power to handle them?”

“Hmph, I think they’re just plain crazy; a bunch of lunatics don’t know fear!” Xu Wanting snorted while kneading Shen Yi’s shoulders.

She was not worried about them barging in, because Shen Yi had a gun and they would hardly face a firearm with mere clubs and knives.

“Lunatics aren’t idiots; they still fear death, otherwise they’d have killed themselves already instead of wasting time staying alive…” Jiang Nanyan retorted, then frowned slightly, sensing something off about the group.

If they dared make such noise without fearing mutant beasts, they must have had some confidence.

“Why has no rescue come after all this time? I haven’t seen a single cop on the road!” Bai Xinyi cried in terror.

She longed to return to the peaceful days of the past.

She could not adapt to, let alone accept, this lawless doomsday world.

Shen Yi turned his gaze to the mature woman, Bai Xinyi.

Today, he intended to unlock her reward as well.

With that thought, Shen Yi said, “I’m hungry. Let’s eat first; after that I have to step out.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and five bottles of mineral water and three steaming, fragrant roast chickens appeared on the table.

His Constitution was high now; although he would not tire easily, he needed large meals to replenish his energy.

“You two eat as well.”

With his permission, Xu Wanting and Jiang Nanyan finally dared to dig in.

As for Bai Xinyi, she remained in a state of shock.

What had just happened?

How had food and water appeared out of thin air with just a flick of Shen Yi’s hand?

Was that magic!?

Why weren’t Jiang Nanyan and Xu Wanting surprised at all?

Was she the only one who found it shocking??

Bai Xinyi was utterly stunned yet dared not ask, so she sat quietly at a distance, pretending to look elsewhere.

Her stomach growled noisily.

In the past 2 days she had eaten only one drumstick and was far from full.

Now, smelling the roast chicken, she felt her guts roar wildly, urging her to eat…

However, Bai Xinyi was too embarrassed to ask for food.

After all, she was not Shen Yi’s woman.

She was not even his friend.

“Honey, what are you going out for? To take care of those rioters downstairs?” Jiang Nanyan asked with concern after swallowing her meat.

“No. Why would I deal with them? They pose no threat to me.”

Shen Yi’s expression remained indifferent.

That was how cold he was.

When he had been bullied before, no one had helped him.

So now he would not help others.

Of course, there was another, more important reason.

He could use these rioters to create danger for other survivors, making his later plans easier.

Jiang Nanyan found the logic sound; they were on the 20th floor, so if the rioters broke in, the lower floors would suffer first.

Besides, even if the rioters reached the 20th floor, they still had the gun to handle them.

“Then what are you going out for? Won’t it be dangerous?”

Xu Wanting was a little worried that something might happen to Shen Yi.

If Shen Yi died, the women with him were utterly helpless and would probably end up like the girls who had been abused at school.

She did not want that to happen!

Rather than be violated by so many people, she would sooner kill herself.

“None of your business. Stop talking while we eat,” Shen Yi muttered, burying himself in the chicken and unwilling to explain.

“Okay.”

Xu Wanting felt a little upset, sensing that Shen Yi treated Jiang Nanyan better than her.

Then she glanced at Bai Xinyi, who stood at the window pretending not to be hungry, and felt better.

Humph! That sanctimonious bitch deserved to starve!

It would be best if she starved to death!

Xu Wanting wished she could vent all her negative emotions on Bai Xinyi.

After eating and drinking his fill, Shen Yi prepared to leave.

“While I’m gone, lock the door and don’t open it for anyone.”

“If those rioters get into the building, contact me at once; I’ll rush back, and they won’t break this security door quickly.”

Shen Yi instructed them.

As for why he did not leave them the gun, it was mainly because he did not fully trust Jiang Nanyan and Xu Wanting.

If either woman turned on him while armed, even he might not escape unscathed.
