Chapter 21

Check!!

Upon hearing the word "check," Chen Fei instinctively glanced at Wang Yuanyuan again.

Wang Yuanyuan was only wearing a thin, short, and sheer strapless nightgown, making it obvious whether she had been scratched or bitten by zombies.

In fact, Chen Fei had only asked to maintain appearances, but he never expected Wang Yuanyuan to actually ask him to check, even adopting a coy and seductive demeanor.

Seductress! This is another seductress! And a low-level, second-rate one at that!

While Nan Gong Jin being called a seductress was due to her inheriting the charm and cunning of a fox, Wang Yuanyuan was more about the scent, with only a hint of charm.

Mentioning seductresses, Chen Fei recalled the opportunity he had just missed, feeling inexplicably frustrated, and his tone became impatient:

"If you haven't been bitten, you're fine. We've cleared the zombies on the 13th floor, so you're temporarily safe. Don't open the fire door in the stairwell or use the elevator; just stay at home and wait for rescue!"

Chen Fei turned to leave, but he had only taken a few steps when Wang Yuanyuan grabbed him from behind.

On the day the zombie virus outbreak began, Wang Yuanyuan was live-streaming on her phone. She was a Weishi streamer, known for her good figure and ability to act cute, which had earned her several hundred thousand followers, making her somewhat famous.

That day, the number of people watching her live stream broke through 100,000 for the first time. Due to a previous promise, Wang Yuanyuan needed to perform a spicy dance, but she received a warning about the尺度 (degree of exposure) from the management, leading to a 24-hour ban before she could continue streaming.

Wang Yuanyuan's mood was like a roller coaster, with extreme highs and lows, almost causing her to lose control...

Just as she was about to lose it, she heard the commotion from apartment 1302 next door. Angered, she was about to confront the people in 1302, but when she opened the door, she saw five people eating another person at the entrance of 1302. The extremely bloody scene almost made her faint.

Wang Yuanyuan panicked and closed the door, then observed the situation at 1302 through the peephole. Several terrifying people even tried to break into her apartment. When she came to her senses, she called 110, but the line was always busy and she couldn't get through.

After talking with her online fans, Wang Yuanyuan realized that she wasn't the only one facing this situation; it was happening all over the country and the world. A fan had previously advised her to stock up on food and water, but she hadn't taken it seriously. She usually ordered takeout, so her home had no rice, flour, oil, or salt.

These past few days, Wang Yuanyuan had been surviving on snacks and instant noodles. When her phone and internet were still working, she didn't feel too bad, but once they were cut off, she deeply experienced the helplessness and loneliness of being alone.

Every night, she would hear the screams on the streets and curl up in her bed in fear. Initially, she would stand by the window every day, hoping for rescue, but when she saw cars being stopped by monsters and the people inside being dragged out and eaten, she lost hope of being rescued.

This morning, Wang Yuanyuan made a difficult decision: if she wasn't rescued before her food ran out, she would end her own life or become one of those monsters.

However, in the afternoon, she saw Nan Gong Jin and Chen Fei. When she saw Chen Fei killing the monsters that terrified her, she felt a renewed sense of hope. As long as this person was willing to protect her, she would do anything to survive...

"Please, take me with you! I'm scared! Really scared! I'm about to go crazy being alone, and my food is almost gone. Take me! I'll do anything for you," Wang Yuanyuan pleaded, holding Chen Fei's hand.

The zombie-themed movies and TV shows Chen Fei had seen taught him a valuable lesson:

A good teammate increases the team's chances of survival, while a bad teammate can lead to the entire team's downfall. Chen Fei wasn't cold-hearted, but he wasn't a pushover either. After witnessing the coldness of human nature following his parents' death, he understood the complexities of human relationships. True love and friendship that can withstand the test of time are rare; most relationships are based on mutual interests.

Chen Fei pulled back his arm and pointed to the door of 1302, saying:

"There's still plenty of food and supplies in 1302. If you're out of food, go get it. The world you knew is gone; this is the apocalypse! If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself!"

"Jin, let's go home!"

Chen Fei pushed open the fire door and walked towards Unit 1 without looking back. Dusk had already fallen, and zombies would be the main characters after the sun set. Survivors could only huddle in their beds or corners...

Wang Yuanyuan watched Chen Fei's departing back, her expression very complex. This was not what she had expected. She had even considered selling her soul, but he was completely indifferent!

Was it because of the beautiful woman behind him?

Wang Yuanyuan thought it was likely. Even though she didn't want to admit it, the woman's figure and appearance were superior to hers. Thinking this, her mood gradually calmed down.

Her impulsive behavior earlier was too direct, like offering to be a mistress in front of someone's wife. No normal person would agree to that.

After thinking this through, Wang Yuanyuan hesitantly walked towards 1302. The mess and blood in the living room, and the nauseating stench in the air, all pushed her to her mental limits.

However, all of this disappeared the moment she opened the refrigerator. The fridge was full of food, fruits, and vegetables, making Wang Yuanyuan instinctively swallow. In the kitchen, she found various grains and seasonings, most of which were new and unopened. With these, she could at least ensure she wouldn't go hungry for a while.

Wang Yuanyuan then began the arduous task of moving supplies from 1302 to 1301. These past few days had reduced her pampered nature, and even the slightly wilted fruits and vegetables in the fridge, she didn't waste, moving them all to her apartment.

Sitting on the sofa, Wang Yuanyuan's mind involuntarily returned to the image of Chen Fei easily killing zombies. Although she had solved her food problem, she needed to follow someone who could fight zombies to be safe. In her eyes, Chen Fei was the best choice. If she didn't encounter anyone else in the future, she had to find a way to join Chen Fei, all for the sake of survival!

Meanwhile, Chen Fei was lying on his bed, sulking,

"Damn, am I an idiot! I didn't even take the meat right in front of me! I've been single for 21 years, and I finally had a chance, but I acted all high and mighty!"

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. After all, Wang Yuanyuan had a great figure, and with makeup, she was a famous beauty. Just thinking about the scene made his heart itch. He even fantasized about sneaking to Unit 2 when Nan Gong Jin was asleep, but that would be a major taboo among male friends!

Stupid!!

Wait a minute!

Chen Fei suddenly remembered something and sat up abruptly. He had forgotten an important detail: the system!

He had accumulated 50 zombie kills, which naturally activated the Apocalypse Overlord System. At the time, everything went black, and he lost consciousness. When he regained awareness, he saw Nan Gong Jin's face close to his. After that, he cleared the zombies on the 13th floor of Unit 2 and met Wang Yuanyuan, so he had forgotten about the system's activation.

Thinking of the system, Chen Fei became excited. Had he already activated a cheat? Could he now dominate the apocalypse?

Chen Fei carefully examined his body but found no abnormal changes, which left him puzzled. After much thought, he tentatively said,

"Um... S... System?"

System: Apocalypse Overlord System first use, please set the name for the intelligent voice system.

The voice in his head startled Chen Fei, even though he was somewhat prepared. He quickly regained his composure and thought about what to name the system.

At this moment, Chen Fei's playful side from gaming came out. He thought about naming the system "Big Yellow," but the system's pleasant female voice made him reconsider. If it was an intelligent system, who knew how advanced it could be? If it had emotions, giving it such a name could make it resent him.

Naming... is an art and a science!

Chen Fei considered using Nan Gong Jin's or Mu Meiqing's names, as well as some non-mainstream, emo-style names. Finally, after much thought, he used a simple and direct method, taking one character from the Apocalypse Overlord System to name it, ensuring he wouldn't step on any landmines.

"Mo Mo"

Thus, the name of the intelligent voice system was set. He could call out "Mo Mo" or think about it to get a response.

System: Please give an order, host.

Order?

Chen Fei was completely baffled...

What kind of order? He didn't even know what the system could do, how could he give an order? Was he supposed to ask the system to give him a full set of gear and go on a killing spree?

"Um... Can you introduce the system's functions?" Chen Fei asked tentatively, feeling a bit nervous.

The Apocalypse Overlord System sounded impressive, but who knew if it was just a facade...

While Chen Fei was still lost in thought, the system's sweet voice rang in his head, accompanied by images appearing in his vision.

System: The Apocalypse Overlord System is in the initial activation state. The host's default level is 1. The functions available at level 1 are as follows:

Character attribute panel, level 1 zombie radar, level 1 storage space, level 1 camp, level 1 manufacturing function.

The system's voice was clear in his head, and the images flashed before his eyes, leaving Chen Fei speechless. He was stunned, exclaiming, "What the hell!"
