After death, the original host learned that his parents had perished on their way to Nancheng University to find him, and that the officials had never sent anyone to pick him up. Xu Caiwei quickly became one of Chen Jin's consorts after arriving at the base, and the Ability user who ultimately besieged him was also sent by Chen Jin. The reason behind Chen Jin's actions stemmed from jealousy towards the original host.
The Chen family was considered wealthy in Nancheng, but they paled in comparison to the original host's circle of friends; they were merely the younger brothers of his younger brother. During school, seeing the original host surrounded by admirers, as if he were the center of the universe, made him feel quite miserable, constantly fantasizing about one day stepping on the original host. Even after taking Xu Caiwei into his harem, he would still call her "sister" in private and jokingly say that nothing was better than dumplings and nothing was more fun than being with his sister. It must be said that he certainly knew how to have fun!
After reading through the plot, Chang Qing couldn't help but sigh. In his view, the original host's fate was entirely self-inflicted. Loving others before loving oneself is a boundless sacrifice that not only lacks meaning but also brings disaster to those who truly care for oneself. The tragedy of the original host's family ultimately stemmed from his own actions.
"The sycophant never gets a house," the system lamented.
Chang Qing remained silent.
The system liked to learn new slang every time it entered a new world, believing it made it seem adaptable and integrated into local culture. Not long after arriving in this world, it connected to some operational servers and learned various things from websites and forums, occasionally spouting phrases that left people half-understanding.
Ignoring it, Chang Qing carefully searched the store and found some instant noodles, water, biscuits, alcohol, drinks, and snacks in a small corner warehouse. This was a convenience store on campus primarily catering to students; thus, it lacked household supplies like rice, oil, and salt, focusing instead on ready-to-eat products.
Chang Qing wasn't picky; he took half of the instant noodles, water, and biscuits, filling both the trunk and backseat of his small car to the brim. He wasn't doing this out of kindness for those searching for supplies behind him but adhered to the principle of "not taking everything" from Cultivation World to avoid leaving behind a heart demon of overexploitation. During this time, several zombies approached upon hearing noise but were swiftly dealt with by him.
Once he started the car and hit the road, he asked, "What was the original host's wish?"
"He hoped to live with dignity and for his parents to be well."
"That's not difficult." Chang Qing pressed down on the accelerator, making a sharp turn that left the zombies trailing far behind. As a prominent second-generation rich kid in Nancheng, it was natural for him to have a good car. At that moment, with half-open windows letting in the slightly warm autumn breeze, Chang Qing felt as if he were flying on a sword for the first time.
Soon enough, he parked under Building 19. The sound of the car engine was loud enough to cause rustling noises throughout the dormitory building—eerily unsettling.
In Nancheng University, students locked their doors at night; if one person mutated, it often meant another would be bitten as well. Therefore, currently either an entire dormitory had turned into zombies or none had been infected at all. Fortunately, in the early stages, zombies were relatively weak and driven by instinct; it wasn't easy for them to burst out through doors. This was why most uninfected students could still remain safe inside their dorms.
Chang Qing got out of the car and retrieved a steel pipe from the trunk as he walked toward the dormitory. The electric door was ajar; about ten meters ahead lay a person in security uniform with a large hole in his head and a pool of dark blood already dried on the ground. From memory, Chang Qing recognized this as the first zombie killed by the original host when he went out. However, he didn't linger and instead headed for the stairs. Although the dormitory elevator was still operational at that moment, who knew if opening its door would lead him straight into a horde of zombies? He didn't dare take that risk.
This was a nine-story building; floors 1-5 were for female students while floors 6-9 housed male students. Xu Caiwei lived in room 301—the first room near the elevator—while the original host resided in room 507 on the fifth floor.
The day after doomsday struck, students who ventured out in the morning sensed something unusual; after encountering a wave of zombies, they hurried back to their dorms. At that time communication signals hadn't been cut off yet; through online channels everyone learned about similar occurrences nationwide. The officials advised everyone to stay home temporarily to avoid danger outside. However, homes typically had some food stored away while student dormitories did not—at most there were just some instant noodles or snacks available. After several days of waiting it out, survivors had no choice but to venture out in search of food—a daunting task for inexperienced students who often preferred staying inside their dorms with just water rather than risking going out. The original host frequently went out looking for food primarily motivated by wanting to please his fiancée.
However, Chang Qing wasn't returning this time to deliver supplies to Xu Caiwei; he intended to pick up her roommate Li Jun.
Li Jun was an orphan who had developed a decent relationship with Chang Qing after becoming roommates in college; the original host often hired him for signing in or doing assignments. In the original plotline, he also traveled north with the original host as one of their main team members but met an unfortunate end during one night’s rest when brother Xu cried incessantly for fried chicken and attracted a horde of zombies—he bravely held them off while disappearing into their midst. This too became one of the original host's regrets.
Chang Qing didn't mind taking a detour to pick someone up along the way.
