Corpse Beetle

But they are larger in size and more powerful.

Although most of these monsters are only at the Black Iron Initial or Intermediate level, they not only possess exceptionally high defensive capabilities but also live in colonies.

Each appearance is more exaggerated than that of the lizardmen.

The only good news is!

They only eat corpses, and they only attack living humans when they are extremely hungry.

On the sixth floor of the girls' dormitory deep inside the school.

"Is anyone there... can someone come and save me... I'm starving to death..."

"I'm really starving to death..."

Zara, lying limp on her dormitory bed, her hair disheveled.

The blanket draped casually over her, leaning against the wall, staring out the window at the apocalyptic scene with despair written all over her face.

Her voice was weak, obviously indicating prolonged hunger.

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel some regret.

Why did she come back to school when she was fine?

Isn't it better to stay with Bruce in the hotel, protected by bodyguards?

Why did she have to be trapped in the dormitory with these crazy girls?

If it weren't for them being girls, liking to keep some drinks and snacks in the dormitory.

She probably would have died by now...

"Zara, please stop calling out!"

Another girl named Amanda by the window also spoke weakly: "You've been calling out for so many days, has anyone come to rescue us?"

"Yeah..."

Another girl, barely hanging on, said: "Those monsters outside are so terrifying... everyone is struggling to survive, who will come to rescue us?"

Hearing this, Zara felt even more hopeless.

Once again, the tall and handsome figure flashed through her mind.

Why did that guy, just the day before the apocalypse, use force on Cynthia?

Did he know something in advance?

Or was it just a coincidence?

These past few days, Zara had pondered this question countless times, but she couldn't figure it out.

"Do you think the boys in our school are so useless? Can't even organize a rescue?" Amanda's voice brought her back to reality."Rescue? Haha, haven't you seen before what happened to those boys who tried to rescue people..."

"Julia, don't... please don't say it!"

Another girl wanted to say something, but Zara quickly stopped her.

Because these days, they had experienced too much.

Watching the monsters hunting everywhere, watching classmates being dismembered, listening to their screams.

It was simply a nightmare!

"Okay, let's not talk about it!" Amanda's lips were dry, her eyes glanced at Zara opposite her: "Speaking of which, Zara, I've always had a question I wanted to ask you, but I've been too embarrassed to ask..."

"Just ask... there's nothing to be embarrassed about at this point..."

"On the night of the 19th, when you didn't come back, did you go to the hotel with Young Master Bruce?"

Dragon's Roost University was built on a mountain in a city that was still developing.

Although the university was now within the city limits,

the roads inside were still complex and winding.

The dormitory where Zara and the others were located was at the top left of the mountain.

Outside the dormitory was a wide boulevard.

On both sides were roads leading down the mountain.

Although these roads were lined with a lot of green trees, which after mutation also obstructed the view,

from their perspective, they could see parts of the mountainside on both sides.

Now, there were four girls in the dormitory where Zara was.

Except for Zara, the other three were the three girls Bruce had taken out to dinner before the apocalypse!

Because they had all been 'drunk' by Bruce, they didn't get up for morning self-study.

Later, when Zara came back in the morning, she chatted with them in the dormitory for a while.

As they chatted, the apocalypse descended.

Now, hearing Amanda ask this question, they all perked up their ears.

As if even if they were about to die, they couldn't stop their gossiping hearts.

"Hehe, you guys are really bored, huh? At this point, you're still asking this kind of question?"

Zara was a little speechless.

"Come on, spill the beans!"

"Let us hear this gossip before we die, okay?"

"Hehe... alright!"Zara gave a bitter smile and closed her eyes to conserve energy. "Actually, there's nothing much to tell you. Young Master Bruce wanted Cynthia... I never had that chance."

"Huh? Cynthia?"

"No wonder..."

"Yeah, although you're not worse than Cynthia, you still have a boyfriend!"

"Boyfriend? You mean Jesse?"

"Who else could it be?"

"Come on, Jesse is just a loser, how could he ever match up to our Zara?"

"Yeah, Zara has always kept him as a backup, can't you see that?"

"I can, but to be honest, although Jesse doesn't have money, he really likes Zara..."

"What's the point of discussing this now?" Zara sighed. "Let's figure out how to get some food. If we don't have any, we'll really starve to death..."

"If we starve, there's nothing we can do unless you have the courage to fight those monsters."

"I definitely don't!"

"Me neither. I'd rather starve than be bitten by a monster."

"Same here!"

"Since none of us want to go out, we'll just have to wait for someone to rescue us."

"But at this point, who would come to rescue us?"

The women were all exhausted, but they kept on chatting incessantly.

As if this would make them forget the fear of death.

"Huh, looks like there's someone over there?"

Amanda, who was lying by the window, had wanted to see if there would be a rescue team outside.

Even though during this time, they had experienced countless disappointments.

This was their only hope now.

Unexpectedly, when she looked over, did she really find someone?

"Where's the person?"

"Where, where?"

Upon hearing this, the other women, despite their lack of strength, struggled to get to where Amanda was.

They looked outside through the window.

To the left was the path leading to the school's main entrance.At this moment, there was a boy wielding a fire axe, leading three boys and one girl, vigorously fighting against the monsters.

And they recognized this boy with the fire axe.

It was Zara's 'boyfriend' Jesse?

"Oh my god, isn't that Zara's boyfriend Jesse?"

"No way?"

"Is it really Jesse?"

"Huh, it seems like there are people on this side too? It's just too far to see who it is!"

"Who cares who it is, let's call for help first!"

"Oh, right, right!! Help, help..."

The road to the right of Zara's dormitory led to the school's back door.

In total, they saw eight people from this side!

Six men and two women, among which two men and two women seemed to have no combat capabilities.

The other four men were incredibly powerful.

They not only had heavy weapons like axes and hammers, but also light weapons like long swords and crossbows.

There were even shields and protective gear!

Seeing this scene, the survivors in Zara's dormitory were a bit stunned.

Before, when other boys appeared in their sight, screams would follow shortly after.

Either they ran away or they were killed!

But the two groups that came this time seemed to be quite strong?

Realizing this, they prepared to call for help.

After enduring the baptism of the apocalypse for so many days!

Of course, they knew that the monsters outside would be attracted by sound.

So their way of calling for help was simply to write "SOS" on a white piece of clothing with a marker pen.

Then they used a clothesline pole to stretch it out of the window.

But when Amanda tied the hanger with the clothesline pole and tried to signal for help, she hesitated a bit.

Because the two groups arrived at different times, but the one that seemed stronger clearly came later.

"Hey, hey, which side should we signal for help? Quickly give some advice!" Amanda asked.

There were two windows.

One on the left and one on the right leading to the balcony.

If they wanted the left side to see, the right side definitely wouldn't.

"Of course, it's Jesse's side!"
