BXBX NOVEL Chapter 83: Cat-Eared Girl?
It was a good opportunity for the women's close guard team to practice.
"Using up 856 Apocalypse Coins, that leaves 349 Apocalypse Coins."
Alex looked at the building list.
[Slave Hut: Covers an area of 20 square meters. A place where the slaves of the City of Darkness' ruler reside. Each person has only a two-square-meter single room, and they will be completely isolated during rest. Price: 50 Apocalypse Coins.]
He could build a few more slave huts with the remaining Apocalypse Coins.
In the future, those who were enslaved by force could be placed in these slave huts.
Alex went to an open area in the outer city and chose to build a slave hut.
"System, build a slave hut here."
[Slave Hut construction successful, conditions met.]
[Consuming 50 Apocalypse Coins...]
[Construction in progress...]
As the electronic synthesized voice sounded, a sinister and terrifying small wooden hut appeared before Alex.
"Build another slave hut here!"
After constructing two huts using the same method.
Alex was left with 249 Apocalypse Coins.
"Let's summon two more wandering hounds to guard the outer city wall. Also, summon two more three-eyed ravens to continuously scout the area around the city."
[Three-Eyed Raven: The ruler's eyes, capable of low-altitude flight, transparent in form. The ruler can control the three-eyed ravens to scout the space within a three-kilometer radius around the City of Darkness. Creatures with a mental attribute value below 80 points cannot detect it; Price: 60 Apocalypse Coins.]
[Wandering Hound: Attacks any life form that enters the City of Darkness without permission; Price: 50 Apocalypse Coins.]
Alex then summoned two more wandering hounds and three-eyed ravens.
After making these arrangements, Alex finally felt satisfied.
"Master, master, we're almost out of Class C zombies..."
At that moment, Shen Tingting reported through the walkie-talkie that the city's supply of Class C zombies was nearly depleted.
After several days of burials,
The city's stock of Class C zombies was almost used up.
Alex returned to the city, dragged out a few human corpses, and infected them with Class C zombies.
After they transformed into zombies, he would then kill them.
However, the actual effect was not as ideal as Alex had hoped, with only thirty percent of the human corpses successfully transforming into Class C zombies.
Most of the human corpses turned into ordinary zombies.
This made the stock of Class C zombies somewhat strained.
"Three-eyed ravens, search for Class C zombies nearby."
Alex controlled the three three-eyed ravens with his mind to start searching for Class C zombies around.
He himself swiftly moved through the city, hunting down Class C zombies.
"Beep beep beep... Large group of Class C zombies detected... Mutant human found... Beep beep beep..."
While Alex was hunting Class C zombies, a three-eyed raven suddenly found an important target.
Alex quickly shifted his focus to that raven.
More than a thousand meters away from Alex, a group of Class C agile zombies was chasing a young girl!
The girl was extremely fast and incredibly agile.
She was able to attack the Class C agile zombies while weaving in and out of their grasp.
However, it was obvious that the girl was injured. Although she could still maintain her speed to escape, her attacks were weak and ineffective against the Class C agile zombies.
"A girl with cat ears?!" Alex, controlling the three-eyed raven, quickly approached.
He discovered that the girl had cat ears and a cat's tail!
Though she had a human form, her movements were very much like a cat's.
Delicate and lithe, flexible and unpredictable...
"This is a mutant! And it seems to be the cat-eared mutant that Ma Chenbin and the others are looking for!"
Alex became excited.
But soon, when Alex got a clear view of the cat-eared girl's face, he was momentarily stunned.
"Lan Siruo!"
Alex couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
This cat-eared girl was actually Lan Siruo, the beautiful campus belle he had secretly admired for three years in college.
Although many said she was at most a class beauty,
In Alex's eyes, she was the belle of the entire campus.
Because Lan Siruo perfectly matched Alex's aesthetic standards.
More importantly, Lan Siruo was kind and gentle in her dealings with others.
She didn't have the gold-digging and arrogant demeanor that some so-called class and campus belles had.
Moreover, Alex and Lan Siruo were classmates and even desk mates for a while.
As the class monitor, Lan Siruo was very caring towards all her classmates.
Everyone said that she was not only beautiful but also had a beautiful heart.
Even towards a guy like Alex, who was considered an average Joe, Lan Siruo was always friendly, and they even became friends.
Throughout the three years of college, Alex secretly admired her without ever confessing his feelings.
He had thought Lan Siruo had either become a zombie in the apocalypse or had been devoured by one.
But unexpectedly, Lan Siruo had become a mutant!
Moreover, a cat-like mutant with feline characteristics.
Alex knew that Lan Siruo had always loved cats before the apocalypse; she even kept an adorable pure white fold-ear cat in her dormitory.
Perhaps due to her great love for cats, when Lan Siruo became a mutant, she acquired cat-like traits.
Before the apocalypse, Alex had secretly admired Lan Siruo for three years.
But due to the huge difference in their statuses, he never expressed his feelings to her.
Because back then, Alex knew that a relationship between them was impossible.
Even though Lan Siruo was quite nice to Alex, Alex always understood in his heart that in a world where class divisions were becoming increasingly pronounced, there was an insurmountable chasm between them.
Alex didn't want to be a fawning admirer.
So he kept his feelings buried in his heart.
He told no one.
Times have changed, and the whole world has transformed.
Now, there were no longer any barriers between them.
Even if there were, it would be Lan Siruo who was not worthy of Alex.
Now, if Alex wanted to have Lan Siruo, it would be an effortless task.
But Alex no longer had the impulsive feelings of the past.
To him now, romantic feelings seemed like a laughable matter.
Reflecting on his past self-pity and anxiety, Alex couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
However, since they were friends, if Lan Siruo was in danger, Alex would still not hesitate to help.
Moreover, it was an opportunity to easily eliminate a wave of Class C zombies.
Alex refocused his attention, pushed off the ground with force, and swiftly sped toward Lan Siruo's location.
Meanwhile, Lan Siruo was in a dire situation, surrounded by over twenty Class C agile zombies in a corner, with no chance of escape.
Behind these agile zombies, there was a bizarre, spider-like zombie commanding the others.
This eerie zombie had three human heads, eight legs, and two pairs of arms.
It looked as if it were assembled from parts of many zombies.
It was ghastly and terrifying!
Every time the spider-like zombie opened its gaping mouth, it emitted a sound wave.
Lan Siruo would cry out in pain during the battle.
It was as if she was suffering from severe mental damage.
Originally, these Class C zombies couldn't harm her.
But under the influence of the spider-like zombie, Lan Siruo's movements were repeatedly interrupted.
She was hit by the zombies several times, sustaining injuries.
Finally, Lan Siruo had no more room to retreat!
