Zara's Boyfriend Seems Quite Impressive

A girl named Julia suggested, "Since Jesse is so close by, and he's Zara's boyfriend, isn't he?"

Amanda glanced at Zara, who didn't object, and quickly nodded.

"Yeah, that makes sense! Let's go with Jesse then."

After saying this, Amanda pushed the clothesline out.

Several girls gathered around the window, anxiously watching Jesse.

For them, who were at their wits' end, as long as a rescue team could pass by here, there was a good chance of saving their lives.

So, they didn't want to miss any opportunity to signal for help.

"Zara, didn't expect your boyfriend to be quite capable, huh?"

Watching Jesse dispatch the monsters so cleanly, Amanda couldn't help but speak up.

"Yeah, he's nothing like I remembered!"

"I thought he used to be quite a straightforward guy?"

"So impressive, really impressive! With him around, we might stand a chance."

Other girls echoed her sentiments.

Seeing Jesse execute a beautiful dodge, avoiding the sickle mantis's attack while landing several clean hits to sever its hind legs, they were ecstatic.

At that moment, they no longer cared about Jesse's "loser" or "backup" status.

Nor did they care about his appearance or background.

As long as he could save them, none of it mattered.

Seeing Jesse's incredible combat prowess, Zara also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if she really just considered Jesse a backup.

At this moment, she hoped Jesse could safely reach them.

But for some reason, as she looked at Jesse's imposing figure, she couldn't shake off a sense of unfamiliarity!

"Is this really my dorky boyfriend???" she wondered, in the direction of the school's main entrance on the left.

The five members of Jesse's team didn't immediately notice the distress signal from Zara's dormitory.

Because at this time, after hunting down several monsters, they were hiding behind a wall, adjusting their status.

Each of the five held a weapon, carrying a backpack.

In addition to the previously encountered poisonous lady Debby, there were also three other boys!

They were all courageous and capable individuals, whom Jesse had rescued while hunting monsters.Although Jesse is the protagonist reborn, he is well aware of the treachery in people's hearts in the post-apocalyptic world.

But he also knows that it's still early in the apocalypse, and human nature isn't as fragile as one might imagine.

 Plus, with Debby's appearance...

So, he had long wanted to assemble his own team to fight against the apocalypse and the scum like Bruce.

"Jesse, your wounds seem to be healing pretty quickly, huh?" One of the boys holding a spatula looked at the wounds on Jesse's body with surprise.

The boy's name was Duane, a classmate of both Bruce and Jesse.

When Jesse was in the secret realm before, his shoulder and abdomen were injured by Bruce.

The wound on his shoulder wasn't too bad, considering the shoulder's limited size.

 No matter how large the wound, as long as it didn't affect the joints and bones, it would heal easily once stitched up.

But an injury to the abdomen like that, without absolute medical conditions, how could it possibly heal in just ten days or so?

Yet Jesse's wounds miraculously healed. That was quite strange.

It was the sixth day of the apocalypse's emergence in the afternoon, and the wound on Jesse's shoulder had already scarred and fallen off.

The wound on his abdomen also didn't affect his mobility at all.

"After these monsters appeared, the recovery ability of the awakened ones has somewhat strengthened," Jesse tightened his grip on the fire axe.

"I'm just a bit stronger than the average awakened one!"

"Really? But you're already so powerful? Who could have injured you like this?"

"Yeah, Jesse, tell us about it!"

"Who could have injured me like this?

 Ha!

" A hint of resentment flashed in Jesse's eyes at the question.

"Other than that bastard Bruce, who else could it be?"

"Bruce? No way? You mean Bruce from our class?"

"My goodness, why would he injure you?"

"For the sake of treasure!"

Debby answered in place of Jesse!

Having spent so many days with Jesse by now, she naturally stood by Jesse's side.

"For treasure?" The boy turned his head, looking at Debby in astonishment.

"Exactly!" Debby nodded and recounted Bruce's misdeeds in the secret realm to everyone.

"With the world outside being so dangerous now, that guy has awakened such powerful strength.

Not only did he not help save people, but he also attacked his own classmates?

Absolutely unforgivable.""I can't believe it! Bruce could be such a person?"

"I can't tell!"

"What's unbelievable?"

Jesse sneered, "If you ever get a chance to meet him, you'll know. This guy is seriously hypocritical!"

"Is that so?"

"Alright, let's not waste time, let's quickly eat something to regain our strength."

"I just saw someone calling for help over by the girls' dormitory!"

"The girls' dormitory?"

"Yeah, and... if I'm not mistaken, it seems to be your girlfriend's dormitory."

Zara was a prominent figure in school, naturally drawing the attention of most guys.

Knowing the location of her dormitory wasn't unusual.

"My girlfriend?"

Upon hearing this name, Jesse was first stunned, then his eyes flashed with coldness.

A surge of killing intent quickly rose in his heart.

Having adapted to the memories after his rebirth, he naturally knew who the 'girlfriend' the other person mentioned was.

Zara!

If Jesse's hatred towards Bruce was bloodthirsty, then his hatred towards Zara penetrated to the bone.

In his previous life, he treated her so well.

Not only did he provide protection for her, but he also went out to find food for her.

In the end, not only did it waste a lot of his development time, but she also betrayed him at a critical moment?

"Hmph, Zara, don't you like to toy with people's emotions? This life, I'll let you have your fill of it."

Swish!

Thud!

Meanwhile, at the back entrance of the school!

Bruce sliced a corpse beetle in half with his sword.

The hard shell couldn't stop the sharpness of the Andúril sword.

Disgusting white slime mixed with blood flowed out.

The nauseating stench not only made everyone instinctively pinch their noses but also attracted other corpse beetles from elsewhere.

"Quick, come this way!"Bruce uttered a low shout, leading the group to skirt around the corpses of the corpse beetles and dash towards the depths of the school.

Corpse beetles weren't a significant threat to humans, with moderate speed and less aggressive tendencies.

However, once they formed a swarm, there would always be some starving ones among them.

 Then these corpse beetles would become more terrifying than lions and tigers from before the apocalypse.

"Bruce, it seems like someone has cleared out the school's monsters!"

Cynthia couldn't help but speak up as they advanced, noticing fewer monsters on the way.

Calling him Bruce in front of outsiders, instead of 'husband', was indeed proper.

After enduring the baptism of the apocalypse for these few days and with Bruce's help, Cynthia's feelings for him had warmed considerably.

Both her physical body and her supernatural abilities had reached the mid-level of black iron.

And she was about to break through to the high level!

Life Force: 26

Mental Strength: 28

Strength: 8

Agility: 9

Enhancement Level: Mid-level Black Iron

Supernatural Ability Level: [Healing Technique (Mid-level Black Iron)]

These were Cynthia's current attributes.

In addition to the two main attributes, her strength and agility had also increased slightly.

As for supernatural abilities?

Supernatural abilities were different from physical qualities.

 They could be endlessly improved through daily use or special training methods.

However, the speed of improvement tended to be longer as one progressed further.

Moreover, supernatural practitioners often faced bottlenecks during the improvement process.

Therefore, if supernatural practitioners wanted to become stronger, same-attribute crystal nuclei were essential.

"They should be gathering inside, right?

There's nothing to eat on the back playground, so there's no reason for them to wander outside."

"That makes sense!"

"Young Master Bruce!

What are we doing at the school today?"

 Malachi's fist had a unique metallic sheen on its surface.

He smashed a zombie's head blocking their path with a single punch before turning to Bruce for an answer.
