Upgrading the Mall into a School!

After using some silver coins to upgrade the male restroom, there is now a newly established showering area for males on the first floor. 

Hania Fill took the initiative to test the water and electricity inside.

It functioned flawlessly, resembling a standard washroom facility where students could comfortably take their baths on the campus grounds.

Hania Fill changed into a clean white shirt and black pants from the system's basic inventory before deciding to explore his new territory.

The entire mall had a total of five floors, with twelve escalators, four elevators, and stairs on each level. Additionally, there were separate restrooms for males and females on every floor.

It's clear that this place was originally designed as a large shopping mall, so the idea of it becoming a school seemed unbelievable. 

No one would believe Hania Fill when he advertised it in the future.

After all, schools aren't typically designed like this. However, there was nothing to complain about. 

Hania Fill would make do with what he had. 

Even if it was just a small bachelor apartment, he would ensure it became a suitable school for students.

According to the system, which finally decided to show its majesty again, since its new host Hania Fill already occupied and marked the entire land where the mall was standing, he is now the owner of it.

With the power of the system, electricity and water were included in his mall infrastructure package. 

The owner of this purchase would have access to these endless resources for the next ten years. 

It doesn't matter how much Hania Fill spends on these two valuable things, as it is covered in his 10 million gold coins debt.

Regarding his substantial debt, Hania Fill is not sure whether to cry or laugh. 

While exploring the mall and discussing the usage of resources from the system, Hania Fill did not forget to press the system for compensation.

After a few rebuttals, the system relented and offered 10 red diamonds, which are equivalent to 100,000 gold coins.

However, access for conversion is not yet allowed. 

Hania Fill cannot convert it to gold coins yet, but the pleasure of having wealth is still good.

So, Hania Fill has decided to let go of the system for now.

Back to business, the system's first mission was accomplished. 

The opening of the new school in the apocalypse is now completed. 

Hania Fill received a generous reward of 1 red diamond and a set of high school male uniform.

However, just one look at the uniform was enough to make Hania Fill dislike it. 

It resembled those worn in high school romantic dramas, not his style at all, so he tossed it into storage without another glance.

Now, a school needs students, human students, and many more are needed for his school.

The system promptly issued his second mission task: Acquire 10 Students in the next one month.

This one is a bit challenging given his situation.

In this abandoned city, he is alone walking alive, and acquiring even one student would be a fortune.

Where would he find 10 students in one month?

Hania Fill stopped in front of the French glass wall on the third floor. 

He could see the deserted city ahead. 

This small place, far away from the capital, is called Hillside City. 

Because it is surrounded by forests and hills on each side before reaching the next city in East Sun Province.

There were no longer any human residents aside from Hania Fill. 

After three years since the beginning of the apocalypse, those who had remained here either perished or fled in search of survival outside the province. 

Finding a new human alive willing to be a student of his incomplete establishment and enroll in his school looks like a joke.

Hania Fill continued his exploration, reassured by the fact that the entire mall was shielded against zombies and other monsters. 

This allowed him to navigate the space without fear of encountering any unwanted visitors.

Also, the system had assured its host that any zombies within the mall would have perished when he claimed the territory. 

As for their corpses, it was now Hania Fill's responsibility to clean them up.

When Hania Fill finally concluded his tour around the mall, he encountered a few corpses that needed to be disposed of. Cleaning them up was tiring, as he had to carry their bodies outside.

Using one of the tracks left by the migrant workers outside, Hania Fill moved the bodies onto it.

He went back and forth, ensuring each corpse was properly disposed of.

On the first floor, Hania Fill encountered numerous dead zombies, and their appearance was quite unpleasant to behold.

As a CEO in his previous life, he was a typical businessman whose only concerns were about how to make money.

Scenes involving dead people didn't occur much in his personal life, and he wasn't a fan of apocalypse movies either. 

However, reading about them was a different story.

A few descriptions in a story can stimulate a reader's imagination, but the sight of zombies in real life is revolting enough on its own.

Forget regular rotting corpses, some zombies are walking nightmares. 

Imagine them eyeless, limbless, their flesh a canvas of dried blood, a writhing feast for maggots.

Hania Fill steeled himself.

The putrid stench of decaying flesh barely registering on his hardened facade. 

But these weren't just fallen zombies, they were once shades of people that are laughing under the sun. 

Sweat dripped down Hania Fill's face as he exited the mall territory. 

Thankfully, a cool breeze still lingered in the air, soothing his damp skin.

He steered the abandoned car away from the mall, key in ignition – lucky it was still there. By following the system's suggested closes cemetery, he navigated on it.

In total, he found fifteen zombies, some mangled, others disturbingly preserved. 

Hania Fill decided to give them a final farewell – through burning. 

Burying them wasn't an option with his time is very limited today. 

He couldn't risk his ordinary human self at the end of times without superhuman powers.

Returning to the mall, Hania almost collapsed, resembling a marionette with its strings cut.

The task of cleaning those bodies had left his slender muscles screaming in protest.

His new younger body was that of a college student, designed for late-night study sessions, not for such grueling labor. Every fiber of his being now yearned for rest.

Hania Fill gritted his teeth. 

This wasn't the body he was used to. 

He could only despised this weak body.
