I Haven't Settled the Score with You Yet

She quickly stared at the girls with hostile eyes, extending her fair jade-like hand to block in front of Bruce, asserting her sovereignty.

Normally, she didn't feel much, but now seeing Bruce surrounded by this group of girls, she felt it all over her body!

"Bruce is my boyfriend, are you pretending I don't exist?"

She could understand Zara's action of throwing herself into Bruce's arms before, attributing it to the immense mental pressure faced in the apocalypse, unable to control herself when seeing Bruce excited.

But now, what's the meaning of you loving Bruce and wanting to marry him?

However, upon hearing Cynthia's words, these girls completely ignored her.

"Oh, Cynthia, what are you talking about? Since when has Young Master Bruce become your boyfriend?"

"Yeah, Cynthia!"

Zara also chimed in, "Although we appreciate you and Young Master Bruce saving us, when did you become involved with Young Master Bruce?"

"You... how dare you say that? I haven't even settled the score with you for that night!"

Cynthia glared at Zara, fuming.

Just mentioning this made her angry.

The night before the apocalypse, she was lured by Zara to a hotel for dinner.

Thinking about it afterward, it was easy to guess.

Zara had colluded with Bruce long ago.

So she had a strong aversion to Zara.

"That night?"

Zara was first stunned, then carefully scrutinized Cynthia and couldn't help but laugh, "Hehe, Cynthia, look at how you're dressed now... white T-shirt, super short denim shorts, sneakers, you look pretty clean, don't you?"

"What are you trying to say?"

Cynthia seemed to sense what the other party wanted to say but still hardened her tone.

"Don't you think you should thank me?!"

"Thank you?"

"Of course, if I hadn't brought you to Young Master Bruce's room, would you still be able to wear such clean clothes today? Would you still be able to show up in front of me with a pair of unblemished white legs?""I what? Anyway, from today onwards, Young Master Bruce isn't yours alone anymore!"

Zara's voice suddenly became serious and firm.

"What do you mean?"

Cynthia was a bit bewildered, feeling like she couldn't keep up with the other's pace!

"The literal meaning."

After saying this, Zara walked directly in front of Bruce and sat down, grabbing his sleeve.

Pitifully she cooed, "Young Master Bruce, you wouldn't mind having one more girlfriend, right? As long as you're willing to take me with you, I'll do anything you want..."

Zara herself was a materialistic woman, with an open personality and bold speech.

When she said these words, she completely ignored the gaze of others.

Even Cynthia, she didn't care about.

Because now, she had too much on her plate!

Before the apocalypse, maybe she only wanted to rely on her beauty to hook a rich second-generation.

Whoever was handsome and wealthy, she might consider going with him.

But now, after experiencing seven days of the apocalypse, she had seen countless classmates die miserably in front of her.

The scenes of being torn apart by lizardmen.

The scenes of being stabbed in the heart by mantises, blood spraying everywhere.

The scenes of being bitten by zombies, only to crawl back up from the ground.

All of it lingered in her mind.

It made it hard for her to sleep soundly.

So now, she didn't think about anything else, she just wanted to live well.

Originally, she had a hint of jealousy towards Cynthia.

Thinking that her looks and figure were not inferior to Cynthia's.

She was even taller than Cynthia, standing at a full 170 centimeters!

But why did those rich second-generations all like Cynthia and not herself?

Cynthia was surrounded by rich second-generations and handsome men.

While she was surrounded by poor losers and sycophants.

Why was that?

So seeing Cynthia walking behind Bruce all the way, her jealousy intensified.

Upon hearing Zara's words, the other three roommates were somewhat surprised, but they didn't say much.

Because they had experienced hunger, cruelty, and bloodshed.They knew what the apocalypse meant.

Bruce was so handsome, so rich!

And now, his power was so strong too?

If it wasn't for knowing their own looks weren't enough, wouldn't they want to throw themselves at Bruce?

But Cynthia, upon hearing this, clearly couldn't tolerate it.

Before Bruce could even speak, she quickly spoke up.

"Zara, do you know what you're saying?"

Cynthia was furious, even calling out Zara's name directly.

Adding another girlfriend for Bruce?

Wasn't that implying trying to snatch Bruce away from her?

What kind of joke was this?

"Of course, I know!"

"I know you still... let me emphasize again, Bruce is my boyfriend now!"

"I know he's your boyfriend now."

Zara calmly retorted, "But I haven't asked her to dump you, so what's the rush?"

"Huh... huh??"

Hearing this, Cynthia was speechless!

Before she could think further, Zara's puzzled voice rang out again, "Cynthia! Have you not figured out the situation yet?"

"What do you mean?"

Cynthia was taken aback by Zara's sudden remark.

"Look at you, so clueless. You've been protected so well by Young Master Bruce during this time. I just..."

Zara, having eaten and drunk her fill, had the energy to lament about the injustice of the world again, but suddenly realized it might not be appropriate to say such things at this moment.

So she swallowed the words she wanted to say.

She didn't care about Cynthia's ignorance, but instead, with her delicate and fair right hand, pointed at the murky sky outside and spoke up!

"Look outside! The world out there is so dangerous right now. As a woman with no significant power, if I want to survive, I can only rely on a strong man. Do you understand?"

"Then you don't need to compete with me for Bruce, right?"

Cynthia felt that Zara made some sense, and her tone unconsciously softened a bit.

But she still didn't want to let go of Bruce, so she continued to argue.

"And... don't you already have a boyfriend?""Boyfriend?"

Zara was first stunned, then gave a disdainful smile. "You mean Jesse? Do you think I can still rely on him?"

She didn't mind not mentioning a boyfriend, but once the topic was brought up, she got angry.

Jesse and Bruce came up one after the other.

Jesse was ahead, Bruce was behind.

Judging by the distance from each side to her, Jesse was obviously closer.

But what was the result?

Jesse didn't dare to come to her rescue, which was bad enough.

But that guy saw her distress signal and still didn't bother with her?

What use was such a boyfriend?

Moreover, the type of guy she originally liked was someone like Bruce, tall, rich, and handsome.

Now, not only did Bruce have a stronger background than Jesse, but even his strength surpassed Jesse's.

At this moment, why not throw herself at him?

With this in mind, Zara once again grabbed Bruce's arm and pitifully cooed.

"Young Master Bruce, please, can you take me with you? I promise to listen to everything you say..."

Such a tender voice, most men couldn't resist.

Originally, according to the plot of the previous life, both she and Jesse were supposed to be trapped in the teaching building.

With the two sides not far apart, Bruce had brought Jesse and other boys from the class to rescue her early on.

Due to the moral standards during the early days of the apocalypse in the previous life, Bruce, out of consideration for Jesse's face, didn't make a move on her.

But this made her like Bruce even more.

Jesse could only act as her lapdog all along.

Until after some time in the apocalypse, the human vices began to emerge.

The leader of the base where Jesse and Bruce were took people out to search for supplies, but due to some unexpected events, they never returned.

Bruce, relying on his strength, became the new leader of that base.

To climb up the ladder, Zara proposed a plan to help Bruce get Cynthia.

Bruce was infatuated with Cynthia back then. Upon hearing this plan, he didn't care about anything else.

But for some reason, Jesse found out about Zara's plan and went to criticize her.
