Monster Plants!

Jake looked at the two women and said, half truthfully, half falsely: "I have a Portable Space that only I can open. I knew this disaster would come, and my Portable Space is already filled with all sorts of supplies. As long as you honestly follow me, I guarantee you won't have to worry about food or clothes for the rest of your lives. So, be obedient, understand?"

Michelle couldn't tell if Jake was telling the truth. But her will to resist greatly reduced. If Jake was telling the truth, then following him was the wisest choice. In the terrifying apocalypse, surviving was the greatest need. Olivia thought about Jake taking out large amounts of food and also large amounts of ability fruits, and she believed him seventy or eighty percent in her heart. This roughly matched her guess. Besides that, she couldn't imagine how Jake was so well prepared.

Jake clearly saw that the red light on Michelle's body began to fade, gradually turning yellow. Although it was faint, she had no hostility at all.

"Good, I like smart women!" Jake patted Michelle's cheek with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Good girl, don't move, I'll take off your gag."

Rip!

Jake casually ripped off the transparent tape on her face, pulling off a few strands of her long hair. It was so painful she trembled a bit, but she didn't dare make a sound. Jake then pulled the black stockings out of her mouth.

"Ough~ Ough~" Michelle retched a few times in pain before she recovered.

Jake threw the bread next to her mouth: "Eat. After you're done, you still have things to do."

Michelle didn't care to think about what "things to do" meant. Lying on the ground, she stared fixedly at the bread in front of her and pleaded: "Can you untie my hands? I can't eat like this."

Jake said calmly: "No. Eat just like that."

Michelle said, putting on a small tantrum: "How can you be like this! How can you expect me to eat like this!"

Jake sneered. Don't try that crap on me! He stomped on the bread with his foot and threw it out the window: "Okay, your lunch is gone."

Michelle's mouth fell open. She finally understood that Jake was completely different from Mike Peterson. She immediately changed her attitude and humbled herself, pleading: "Jake... Sir, please, give me something to eat!"

This woman knows when to back down. Jake flipped his hand, and a piece of bread appeared in his hand again. Michelle's eyes went wide. Jake threw the bread on the ground and said with a cold smile: "Refuse a polite offer and suffer the consequences. I'll give you another chance. Kneel down and eat."

Michelle actually knelt down without any resistance and quickly started eating. Jake also noticed that the yellow light on Michelle's body faded, and a trace of faint green appeared.

[Ding! Michelle consumed 1 packet of bread from the host, returned 200 packets! Already placed in Portable Space.]

Jake's mouth curved slightly: "Right, that's a good girl."

...

After dealing with Mike Peterson's threat, Jake felt even more pressed for time. The world was getting more and more chaotic. He had to keep becoming stronger!

He started doing push-ups. Unfortunately, after his Overall Constitution increased, push-ups were effortless, providing no training effect at all. Jake then upgraded to handstand push-ups. Still very easy. Jake did handstand push-ups on two fingers. Finally, it had a little effect.

Jake did 100 in one go, flipped over, and stood up, showing no strain. He felt dissatisfied in his heart: "I need to find some weights. This kind of exercise is useless. Or, if only he could learn some martial arts or combat skills. Also, he still lacked weapons."

Olivia's eyes went wide. She completely didn't expect this man to be so powerful. Michelle's eyes were shining brightly. Only such a powerful man is worthy of me! Only such a man can keep me alive! I must hold onto him.

Jake saw the expressions on the two women's faces and just smiled slightly. He practiced blindly for an hour, then had to give up. Unless someone taught him, this kind of practice was almost useless. He might as well just keep eating Constitution Enhancement fruits.

Jake walked onto the balcony. Mike Peterson had lost consciousness. In just over an hour, the wound bitten by the dog on Mike Peterson's arm had rotted and festered, giving off a nasty foul smell. Before, for a wound to worsen to this extent, it would take at least 3 or 4 days. Now it's just too fast. Not only plants and animals evolved, but bacteria and viruses also evolved at light speed. Old antibiotics were still effective? No one can say for sure. In short, basically, getting injured means death.

Olivia followed behind Jake, saying cautiously: "Is he going to die?"

Jake said calmly: "With this kind of wound, without antibiotics, he's dead meat. Also, I estimate the bacteria have evolved. Whether old antibiotics are still effective, no one can say for sure. In short, basically, getting injured means death."

Olivia timidly grabbed Jake's arm. She didn't even realize herself that in just 2 days, she had developed a strong sense of dependence on Jake.

Michelle looked at Mike Peterson with complex emotions. Her fiancé was hanging there like a dead dog, while she herself was kneeling before the killer... Michelle bit her red lip. No way. I'm just a weak woman. I wanted to survive. Besides the guilt, she actually resented Mike Peterson a little in her heart. Who told you to be so useless? Useless! It's all your fault!

...

Jake carefully observed Mike Peterson's condition. He has been hanging here for so long. That mutated toad still didn't come over. Jake wondered if it can't reach that high, or it left, or it didn't notice? Besides that, there were only giant flies flying around Mike Peterson. No animals at all. The 32nd floor is probably too high... Jake breathed a sigh of relief. Looks like the danger on the 32nd floor isn't that great currently.

Jake was about to leave when he suddenly saw a Virginia creeper wrapped around Mike Peterson's left hand. "Huh?" Jake was surprised: "This stuff has even grown to the 30th floor?"

Jake tugged at the Virginia creeper on Mike Peterson's hand. Only then did he realize that the Virginia creeper wasn't wrapped around his hand; it had drilled into his skin! Jake pulled hard. He actually pulled out a long section from inside Mike Peterson's hand, carrying blood-red minced meat. After pulling out the Virginia creeper, Mike Peterson's left hand visibly shriveled, almost becoming just a layer of skin. The flesh and blood were devoured completely!

Jake instantly felt a chill down his spine: "Holy crap! This stuff eats human flesh??"
