Chapter 35: The Beautiful Professor
"I also know an interesting story! The governor's son fell in love with Professor Lu Yurou at first sight. He tried every possible way to pursue her, even setting up a flower arrangement and fireworks outside the school to confess his love. It was a grand and romantic gesture that shook heaven and earth. But guess what? In the end, Professor Lu reported him for sexual harassment!
If he weren't the governor's son, he might have been arrested and jailed for a few days."
Alex, surprised, turned to Tang Jingyan and asked, "Is everything you said true?"
"Of course, it's true. Professor Lu Yurou is the best of the best! Aren't you going to save her?" Tang Jingyan said with a mischievous smile. "But if you use the same methods on her as you did with us, she might not appreciate it! Everyone who knows her knows she's famously chaste."
"Now it's the apocalypse; what tactics do you need to deal with a woman? Can't you just force her? Master, you're too kind-hearted!" Shen Tingting said dismissively.
"That's no fun. Master doesn't lack women now, so why bother? I think it's better to conquer Professor Lu Yurou psychologically. That way, it feels like an achievement," Li Wan'ning disagreed.
Myra pushed up her glasses and said with a hint of resentment, "I think Master can't even handle us now... Hmph..." Myra felt somewhat inferior, as all the beauties around were already Alex's, but she was not. Especially when Li Wan'ning and Shen Tingting often privately shared funny stories about their intimate moments with Alex, it made Myra uncomfortable.
However, Myra might have misunderstood Alex. He hadn't made a move on Myra yet, not because he wasn't interested, but because he thought Myra, who had spoken up for him before, was a good girl and didn't want to force her to be with him. But unexpectedly, this well-intentioned act of his led to Myra's misunderstanding...
Listening to the women's discussion, Alex was at a loss for words.
"Ding Dong! Level C zombie corpse has been buried!"
"Added 20 Apocalypse Coins."
"Acquired 4 points of Agility attribute."
"Acquired 2 points of Constitution attribute."
"Acquired 1 point of Stamina attribute."
"Level 2 Crypt has been emptied, please bury again."
While the women were busily strategizing how Alex could capture the heart of the beautiful professor, a synthesized electronic voice suddenly echoed in Alex's mind. The attribute points gained this time were mostly in Agility, with increases in Constitution and Stamina as well, which pleased Alex. However, he did not gain any special skills.
"Ding Dong! Level C zombie corpse has been buried!"
Another Level 2 Crypt also completed its burial.
"Added 25 Apocalypse Coins."
"Acquired 3 points of Agility attribute."
"Acquired 1 point of Constitution attribute."
"Acquired 1 point of Stamina attribute."
"Acquired material: Biochemical Claw."
"Level 2 Crypt has been emptied, please bury again."
"Biochemical Claw?" This particular Level C zombie yielded a special material.
"System, what is a Biochemical Claw?"
[The Biochemical Claw is a special claw evolved by this type of zombie, hard and highly flexible, extremely sharp.]
"Does it have any use?" Alex didn't think the Biochemical Claw would be of much use to him.
[Sin Blade (Basic): Upgrade requires 5 Biochemical Claws, 2 Biochemical Whiskers.]
"So, it's used for upgrading the Sin Blade. I wonder what different abilities the upgraded Sin Blade will have..." Alex nodded thoughtfully. The Biochemical Whiskers must be the strange meat whiskers on the burly zombie's head.
[Body Being Buried]
[Estimated Time: 2 Hours]
The women, diligently fulfilling their duties, had already buried another two Level C agile zombies.
Alex picked up the Sin Blade, leaped down from the city wall, and quickly headed towards the teachers' dormitory. The dormitory had five floors, and the beautiful professor was on the fourth. Perhaps because the dormitory doors were open when the apocalypse broke out, many zombies had gathered in the hallways of the teachers' dormitory.
Especially on the fourth floor where Lu Yurou was located, her cries for help had already attracted dozens of zombies. Lu Yurou desperately stabbed at the zombies outside her door with a sharpened iron rod, barely managing to shout through the iron bars of the security window.
However, she wasn't calling towards Alex and the others in the City of Darkness, but to another building - the male dormitory across from her. On her diagonally opposite male dormitory, several boys were climbing out of the windows with ropes, seemingly trying to enter other dorms in search of supplies.
Those boys certainly noticed Lu Yurou's cries but remained indifferent. The only boy who acknowledged her was lewdly mimicking masturbation with one hand while watching her. In this apocalyptic world, everyone was struggling to survive. Who would care about the life and death of others?
Seeing the indifference and even lewd actions of the boys across, Lu Yurou stopped shouting in disappointment and resignedly lay down on the sofa, staring blankly at the wall. However, before long, she heard the sound of slashing outside her door, and the noisy slaps and growls of zombies gradually disappeared. She quickly stood up and looked out through the security window.
By this time, the zombies outside her window had been lured away.
