10: The Apocalypse Is Pretty Great Too

“Quick, see if there’s any useful supplies in this dorm; if you find anything, shove it in the bag and take it.”

As Shen Yi spoke, he strode to the first bunk and began rummaging through it.

Xu Wanting caught on, realized Shen Yi was here to scavenge, and picked the nearest bunk to search.

While turning over the bedding, Shen Yi texted Ma Tianming to ask where the drone was.

Physical Education Department Ma Tianming: “Under the bed, under the first bunk closest to the door!”

Once he received the reply, Shen Yi quickly found a drone packed in a white box under the bed; it looked brand-new.

It was a DJI drone, and judging by the packaging, it was not cheap.

He grabbed the drone, rummaged a bit longer, but found nothing useful, so he and Xu Wanting left.

Their original goal had been the drone, so they were not disappointed by the lack of extra spoils.

Just as they reached the stairwell, a rapid “bang, bang, bang” echoed from downstairs, as if something were pounding the walls in quick succession.

“W-what’s that sound!?” Xu Wanting jumped, clutched Shen Yi’s arm, and almost screamed.

“No idea… head upstairs first.”

Without the slightest curiosity, Shen Yi hurried upward.

Anyone bold enough to be curious right now was simply courting death!

When he reached the 6th floor, Shen Yi heard faint noises from several rooms, as though people were inside.

He silently noted the two dorms where the sounds came from.

In times like these, no one knew whether another survivor might ambush you for a single mouthful of food.

They hurried back to room 606; only after bolting the door did Shen Yi breathe easier.

“I have to unlock supplies fast and get a firearm unlocked!”

“And I need the method to awaken a superpower as soon as possible!”

“Only then will I have the means to protect myself in this apocalypse!”

Shen Yi made up his mind.

As long as he unlocked any firearm, he could stack it infinitely and would never have to worry about self-defense again.

He opened the box, pulled out the drone’s manual, and skimmed it; he had never used a drone before and was unsure how to operate it.

After a short read he felt it did not seem that complicated.

“You want to fly the drone?”

Xu Wanting asked curiously.

“Yeah, but I don’t know if this drone can carry 3 bottles of water.”

If the drone could not manage, he would have to send Xu Wanting downstairs to complete the trade.

There was risk, but it was still better than risking himself.

“It can, this model can lift roughly 5 kilograms, and 3 bottles of water weigh at most 1.5,” Xu Wanting replied.

“Really? You’ve flown drones before?” Shen Yi looked at her.

“Mhm, I used to shoot landscapes and short videos; my Douyin account has over 100,000 followers!”

Shen Yi’s eyes lit up.

That meant he could let Xu Wanting pilot it, sparing himself the embarrassment of crashing into a wall.

“Then you fly it and help me deliver a few bottles of water to a classmate,” Shen Yi said, handing her the controller.

“Water delivery? Sure, let me check the battery.” Although curious about which classmate needed water, Xu Wanting did not pry and immediately began configuring the device.

Judging by her movements, she was quite skilled.

Shen Yi meanwhile pulled out his phone and texted Ma Tianming, telling him to pick a rendezvous point.

Of course.

Shen Yi would never hand over the water first.

If that kid tricked him, he would be the loser.

Although 3 bottles of water were no big deal to Shen Yi, he still hated being taken advantage of, let alone deceived.

Foreign Languages Department Shen Yi: “The drone is ready, but I only have 3 bottles; you have to prove your info is real first, or there’s no way I’m giving up my lifeline!”

About 2 or 3 minutes later, the reply arrived.

Physical Education Department Ma Tianming: “The way to gain a superpower is to eat something… but what exactly it is, I can’t say yet unless you let me see the water first!”

Physical Education Department Ma Tianming: “And don’t even think about cheating me… without my tip you’ll never find it, so don’t break the deal!”

Foreign Languages Department Shen Yi: “Heh, that thing must be hard to find; otherwise you would have eaten it already instead of bartering with me.”

Physical Education Department Ma Tianming: “Uh… that’s true, but I swear I’m not lying.”

Physical Education Department Ma Tianming: “This intel is extremely valuable; even the authorities haven’t published it, so you could trade it to others for supplies… you won’t lose out!”

Gain a superpower by eating something?

Shen Yi frowned.

What could it be?

“Shen Yi, all set… the drone still has more than half its battery, so it should be fine,” Xu Wanting called.

“But the black fog outside is thick and visibility is low; if the distance is too great I’m not sure the water will make it.”

“Just try your best; if it doesn’t get there, no big deal.”

Shen Yi was not especially concerned about whether the water actually reached Ma Tianming.

He had already extracted the gist of the information anyway.

“Fly it toward the gym.”

“Got it!” Xu Wanting stepped onto the balcony and launched the drone, which carried the 3 bottles in a towel sling.

Shen Yi took out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Ma Tianming.

Foreign Languages Department Shen Yi: “The water will reach you in a few minutes tops… now you can tell me the answer.”

Physical Education Department Ma Tianming: “Wait a bit longer… at least let me see the drone first!”

Shen Yi glanced at Xu Wanting as she manipulated the controller; her brow was furrowed, lips pressed together, and her expression was focused.

“Well? Can it reach the gym?”

“Yes, though I didn’t expect the black fog to be this thick…”

Shen Yi leaned in and looked at the controller’s screen, watching the footage sent back by the drone’s camera.

From the drone’s perspective, layers of rolling black fog blanketed the world below.

The black fog was at least 14 or 15 meters high, shrouding most low-rise buildings.

“What an astonishing spectacle,” Xu Wanting whispered.

If it were not a disaster, it would be artistic, even pleasing, on camera.

However, no one knew how many mutated monsters lurked within that dense black fog!

Looking at Xu Wanting’s delicate profile and serious expression, Shen Yi could not resist kissing her.

All right.

He admitted he was fond of beautiful things too!

Especially enjoying ravaging beautiful things!

For instance, this exquisite face.

The kind of beauty he could never have approached before was now his to toy with at will.

In a sense, the apocalypse was truly great!

Xu Wanting blushed, shot Shen Yi a glance, and then continued piloting the drone with concentration.

Shen Yi’s hands were not idle either.

At the same time he sent another message to Ma Tianming.
