"I am definitely alive! I have arms and legs!" Zheng Yifan said with a smile.
The chubby man across from him scrutinized Zheng Yifan closely, seemingly sensing that he meant no harm. Perhaps he also understood that while he could fend off Zombies, he couldn't resist a human. He shrugged casually, "Since you're human, hurry up and rewrap the wire on the outer door to prevent the Zombies from causing trouble. You can come in too; I can't offer you much, but I do have plenty of instant noodles!"
The chubby man generously let Zheng Yifan inside and even yawned, indicating that he was living quite comfortably, thinking about food and then getting a good night's sleep.
"Are you sure about this? You won't end up breaking your defense line!" Zheng Yifan joked, though this was indeed the chubby man's defensive perimeter.
"It's fine; I've already prepared a passage. Just wait a moment and crawl over carefully. Don't let any Zombies rush in. If they get in, I won't be able to help you fend them off," the chubby man seemed to be excited at seeing another person after a long time, his mouth running non-stop. Before Zheng Yifan could say much, the chubby man went on about how fierce the outside Zombies were, how to avoid their attacks, and how to counterattack them.
Zheng Yifan had been fighting Zombies for quite some time and knew many important details to pay attention to. However, he was surprised that this fellow knew even more than he did and with greater detail.
Zheng Yifan had gained enough combat power from the start, so he didn't share the same worries as this fellow.
He truly fought against Zombies with an ordinary person's body, so if he wanted to resist them, he had to go all out. During battles, his concerns were naturally fewer.
Previously, Zheng Yifan had always used weapons to fight against Zombies. At first, it was with an Adamantium Shield. Then he switched to a spear and later upgraded to a Silver Spear. He could even summon the Avatar of the Believers.
But this guy was different; before the apocalypse hit, he was just an Otaku living a happy life. Occasionally indulging in a feast to replenish his body fat, aside from not having a girlfriend, his life was quite blissful.
Yet this fellow managed to do better than most people when the apocalypse arrived!
As the chubby man discussed the main strategies for combating Zombies, Zheng Yifan noticed how to enter through a passageway above them. The chubby man threw down something resembling a soft ladder from inside, which rested against a thick spring mattress wall.
Zheng Yifan simply placed it lightly and then climbed over.
The space above was small; he almost floated across sideways.
The chubby man didn't seem too surprised; instead, he excitedly clapped his hands red.
"Bro! This must be the power gained when the apocalypse arrives, right? Tell me how to get it! I've already collected quite a few crystals left behind by zombies. But I can't figure out how to use them; dropping blood on them doesn't work. You have to tell me how to gain superpowers!" The chubby man was practically bursting with excitement.
Zheng Yifan was at a loss for words. As a peer, he understood what this chubby man was thinking. Many stories about the apocalypse indeed described gaining powers simply by defeating zombies. Some even mentioned that after obtaining Zombie Crystal s, one could absorb their power by dripping blood on them.
Fortunately, this chubby man wasn't foolish enough to think he could eat the crystals; otherwise, if he tried that, he would surely never forget the taste of becoming a zombie.
Zheng Yifan thought for a moment and decided to share the truth. In a few months, this information would no longer be a secret, so it was better to be upfront about it.
" Zombie Crystal s can't turn someone into a superpowered individual. Only essence fruits from mutated plants can do that, but there aren't any in the world right now. They might appear in a few months!" Zheng Yifan said calmly.
The chubby man's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Big brother! My name is Wang Qi; please take me as your disciple. From your description, you’re practically the template for a protagonist! I’ve tried it out; in this world, I’m definitely not a protagonist; otherwise, I would have become a superpowered individual by now. Just accept me, and when the opportunity arises, help me become a superpowered individual too!" Wang Qi looked at Zheng Yifan with shining eyes, leaving Zheng Yifan feeling quite speechless.
"Are you kidding? You just met me and want me to be your boss? Also, there can't be just you here, right? Or did you...?" Zheng Yifan was being very realistic.
Currently, it was just Wang Qi alone in the building; there were no other people around. That was simply impossible—there had to be other survivors.
"Boss! You're overthinking it. The relocation has already started here; everyone capable has moved away. I'm the only nail household left. Then... the project got shelved. Earlier this spring, the national real estate market crashed; all investments fell apart." Wang Qi rambled on.
Zheng Yifan understood now. He hadn't been in the real world much over the past six months and hadn't returned home to know what was happening. According to Wang Qi, the national real estate bubble had burst collectively, leading to a financial crisis where all properties dropped to rock-bottom prices. Naturally, those real estate developers were too scared to continue working on projects, which were temporarily put on hold.
But people had moved away; only Wang Qi remained as a nail household, refusing to leave no matter what.
As for how he managed to survive for so long, it was said that the first floor of Unit was a temporary warehouse for a convenience store specializing in instant noodles.
When the apocalypse struck, while everyone else had turned into Zombies, the chubby man remained here, guarding the massive warehouse of instant noodles and eating to his heart's content.
Not only were there instant noodles, but there were also chips, Peanut Cookies, and various snacks. If he got thirsty, there were all kinds of drinks available.
Due to Relocation, the apartments that were originally planned for this floor had long since become a storage area.
It was precisely because of this that he struck a great deal.
The people in the building had, of course, already moved out. The only person left in the warehouse to sort through goods had also turned into a Zombie. Even if they hadn’t turned, they would have inevitably been taken down by their companions, leaving everything to Wang Fatty.
When Zheng Yifan arrived, he truly felt speechless. This Fellow could be considered extremely fortunate; however, he was still a step away from being the main character template.
After entering, the chubby man willingly led Zheng Yifan to his home and treated him to a lavish dinner.
Four Pig's Trotters along with two packs of instant noodles and an abundance of snacks. He really brought out his best offerings, showing no fear that Zheng Yifan might suddenly try to snatch away his food.
"You're not afraid I'm a bad person?" inexplicably, Zheng Yifan asked this question. (To be continued)
