"You don't know the current situation? Are you preparing to feed so many people?"
Xiao Jun got angry as soon as he spoke, and Wan Qianya became even more panicked.
She hadn't thought of bringing so many people either. She only wanted to bring her two roommates out, but unexpectedly more than a dozen people had come out with her.
"That's not it, I..."
Wan Qianya was a little anxious and didn't know how to explain.
She had already decided in her heart that if Xiao Jun was unwilling, she wouldn't bring a single one.
Compared to Xiao Jun, her two roommates could only apologize.
Xiao Jun heard Wan Qianya's inner voice clearly, and his face also softened.
As long as she wasn't the kind of person who felt pity and wanted to help, it would be fine. In this apocalypse, such kindness was not allowed to exist.
If it was only two roommates, it would still be possible.
In other words, if it was Xiao Jun, when the apocalypse came, he would have turned around and left even if he had met his own brother and had the ability to save him...
In the six years of the apocalypse, Xiao Jun had seen all kinds of things happen, even brothers becoming enemies over food.
He didn't have the intention to harm people, but he couldn't be without the intention to prevent harm from others.
It was still only the early days of the apocalypse, and most people still retained their pre-apocalypse humanity. After three months, they would know that such pity could only bring disaster upon themselves.
"Your two roommates, if you want to bring them then do so, but I'll tell you beforehand that if they lead us into crisis, I'll leave immediately."
Xiao Jun didn't make it difficult for Wan Qianya either. Even supporting these two people would be an easy thing, but he had to make her understand the severity of the situation.
Hearing Xiao Jun's words, Wan Qianya immediately became happy and hurriedly shouted back.
"Yueyue, Jingyin, come here quickly!"
The two girls who had started walking side by side with Wan Qianya hurried over.
"This is my life-saving benefactor I told you about, Xiao Jun. Call him Brother Jun like me."
On the way here, Wan Qianya had already roughly told them about her situation, portraying Xiao Jun as tall and mighty.
"Brother Jun, hello, I'm Jiang Yue, Qianya's roommate."
"Brother Jun, I'm Li Jingyin, also Qianya's roommate."
These two names sounded so familiar.
In Future City in the previous life, apart from the City Lord's Mansion, there were three top powers, one of which was an all-female team whose team leader was called Jiang Yue, if he remembered correctly.
If it was just the name Jiang Yue, Xiao Jun wouldn't dare confirm the connection, but there was also a Li Jingyin.
Although Li Jingyin wasn't the team leader in Future City, she was even more famous than their team leader Jiang Yue - for the piles of corpses she left behind.
It went without saying what would happen to an all-female team.
At that time, countless small teams coveted their beauty and attempted to recruit them, but the final result was that the Ladies Army grew stronger while those provocative teams all disappeared from the world.
It was Li Jingyin who had taken action against everyone who dared provoke them. Whenever she made a move, there were no survivors, earning her the nickname "Poison Beauty".
If not for his existence here, Wan Qianya would have actively looked for her roommates after becoming strong in the previous life, and eventually brought all these people out.
Although he didn't know why Wan Qianya ended up alone in the end with Jiang Yue becoming the team leader instead, the rise of the Ladies Army must have had something to do with Wan Qianya.
These two were worth recruiting.
Xiao Jun didn't have huge ambitions or interest in managing a team, but in the apocalypse, building a strong power was necessary for survival.
These two just happened to satisfy Xiao Jun's needs.
Now that he knew their identities, Xiao Jun changed his initial decision to bring all the dozen or so people behind along too.
If nothing unexpected happened, these people would be the veterans of the Ladies Army.
They were still ordinary college students now, far from having the ruthlessness and scheming of their later selves. If Xiao Jun saved them now, they would definitely be extremely grateful to him.
After saying their names, Jiang Yue and Li Jingyin did not immediately get a response from Xiao Jun and anxiously looked to their friend Wan Qianya for help.
Wan Qianya also had no solution. Having just been scolded by Xiao Jun, she didn't dare say anything now.
"I can take you away, and even those people behind you. I can also give you food, but..."
This "but" meant that Xiao Jun had requirements, but they didn't care what requirements he had at this point, as long as they could survive.
At most, at most it would be to sleep with him.
"I'll only provide you with a week's worth of food. You two will be responsible for managing those other people behind you. Show me your value after a week."
The two looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement.
Xiao Jun wasn't a saint. Being able to take them in for a week was already very good. He couldn't expect him alone to feed this group of people either.
"Qianya, take them to wait in the original place. When we've cleared out the campus, we'll go back to pick them up."
Having just come out today, they certainly couldn't end things so hastily. It would be troublesome to take them back later too.
Soon after, Wan Qianya came over alone with a wronged look on her face as she gazed at Xiao Jun.
"Alright, I won't scold you anymore. Consider it your compensation for causing me trouble today - go get more tier 1 mutant crystals."
How could Wan Qianya's little calculations escape Xiao Jun when he could hear her inner voice clearly.
In the following battle, Wan Qianya went all out, fully unleashing her true potential. At one point, Xiao Jun even became a bystander, just standing by eating melon seeds and shouting 666.
Seeing Wan Qianya's delighted expression, Xiao Jun knew the harvest was plentiful.
Sure enough, in this wave, they had killed 34 zombies, and she had obtained 6 tier 1 mutant crystals - about 4-5 times Xiao Jun's drop rate.
"Brother Jun, including these 6 crystals, we should have 102 tier 1 mutant crystals now right?"
After over five hours of fighting, they had killed most of the zombies at the Normal University, and the mutant crystals finally exceeded 100. Though no supply boxes had been seen.
"Brother Jun, upgrade yourself. I'll keep watch."
100 mutant crystals allowed advancing to tier 2. Xiao Jun had told Wan Qianya about this long ago. To safely bring those female students back to the hotel, advancing to tier 2 was necessary.
Xiao Jun wasn't pretentious either. Improving his own strength was the most important thing.
He took out the 100 mutant crystals without hesitation, placing them together. They shone brightly and looked great.
Wan Qianya vigilantly surveyed their surroundings. Although the campus had been cleared once, the most terrifying thing in the apocalypse had never been zombies, but humans.
