Wang Yu walked into the dormitory, wanting to see what was happening inside.
As soon as he entered, he smelled an extremely strong scent of blood. He saw dried bloodstains everywhere on the ground, and a corpse lying near the back door.
This corpse was clearly a girl, but her death was extremely tragic. All the flesh and blood on her body had been gnawed away, and even her internal organs were gone.
On the ground, besides the bloodstains, there were only some flesh scraps, minced meat, and long hair.
Her skull had also been smashed open, and it was empty inside.
It was possible to imagine that after the mutant broke in, this girl was attacked and tried to escape from the balcony.
Unfortunately, the gap in strength between her and a level 2 mutant was too great, making it impossible for her to escape from the mutant.
"This is..."
Wang Yu walked a little closer and only then realized that he had been so focused on looking at the corpse that he hadn't noticed the balcony door was actually closed!
"What's going on? Can mutants open and close doors?"
Wang Yu shook his head, dismissing his absurd thought.
Low-level mutants didn't have much intelligence; their intelligence was similar to that of wild beasts, at most they were more vengeful than wild beasts.
Would wild beasts open and close doors?
Obviously not.
If that mutant could open doors, why would he risk escaping through the front door?
Why not just open the back door and slip out?
So Wang Yu's earlier imagination wasn't entirely correct; the girl's death process should not have been this simple.
Disregarding the bloodstains on the ground, he stepped over the terrifying corpse and opened the back door.
There was naturally no abnormality on the balcony, only a bathroom door that was tightly closed.
It was clear that someone was inside.
This type of old-fashioned bolt used on bathroom doors could only completely close the door if it was bolted from the inside. Closing the door from the outside wouldn't seal it.
Wang Yu knocked on the door.
Seeing no movement from inside, he took out his long sword and chopped open the bolt.
Then the door automatically opened, revealing a girl lying in the corner, her face very haggard.
However, her complexion was relatively normal; it seemed she had merely fainted.
Wang Yu sighed softly, finally understanding what had happened.
These two girls were survivors hiding in the dormitory. They probably didn't close the back door when they slept at night, allowing the mutant to sneak in.
One girl was attacked and gnawed by the mutant first.
The other, in a panic, fled to the balcony and simultaneously closed the back door.
It wasn't that she didn't want to run outside, but there were also zombies in the corridor of the front door.
She could only hide on the balcony, praying that this man-eating monster wouldn't open the back door.
There was nowhere to hide on the balcony, so she locked herself in the bathroom.
Originally, the dormitory's back door was quite soundproof.
However, hiding in the bathroom, she could still hear bursts of heart-wrenching screams that pierced to the bone.
How painful it was to be gnawed alive by a monster, no one could describe it.
Because those who truly experienced it were all dead.
This girl leaned in the corner, covering her ears tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
At the same time, her whole body trembled incessantly, fearing that she herself would be the next one to be gnawed.
After a while, the screams stopped.
However, this girl remained huddled in the corner, shivering. She tried her best to suppress her sobs, afraid that even this small sound would attract the monster in the dormitory.
But fortunately, after waiting for a long, long time, the expected banging on the door never came.
After the mutant finished gnawing the corpse, it did look for a way to get out.
It placed its hand on the back door and patted it, realizing it couldn't get out.
Then it walked to the front door and patted it.
In its subconscious, both doors could be exited, but it had forgotten exactly how to get out.
Seeing that neither side could be opened, it stayed in the room.
Anyway, it wasn't hungry; it had just eaten someone and could rest and digest first.
...
This should have been what happened last night. Wang Yu felt his guess was about ninety percent correct.
Because the evidence at the scene indicated that there was almost no other possibility.
He ordered people to rescue the girl from the bathroom and returned to the corridor outside.
"Mutant..."
Leaning against the railing, Wang Yu's gaze became somewhat somber.
"Since we have such fate, I can't let you go no matter what..."
He had just given Zhao Ling 100 insect crystals. Before coming to dormitory area 4, he had 920. Added to the zombies trapped in the dormitories that he had dealt with earlier.
He now had 853 insect crystals left.
"Xincí, gather everyone, including Ma Ying and the others."
You Xinci nodded and relayed the message to Ma Ying using the intercom.
After everyone had assembled, Wang Yu took them back and had them all stay in their respective dormitories.
Afterward, Wang Yu went to dormitory area 4 again.
He intended to collect insect crystals alone, and at the same time, see if he could find that mutant.
Along the way, he paid close attention to the surrounding movements.
He could clearly hear any slight movement within ten meters around him, including from the two floors above and the two floors below.
Wang Yu searched from the first floor of Building A to the top floor, only clearing out the zombies in the corridors, ignoring those in the dormitories.
Because the sound of breaking doors was too loud and would alert the mutant.
So he only killed the zombies in the corridors and listened for any movement from the rooms he passed.
Of course, excluding the roars of zombies and other sounds.
After clearing the corridors, he checked the balconies of Building A from bottom to top again.
He jumped from one to another, checking each one, but still found no trace of the mutant.
Some dormitories had living zombies visible through the back doors, but Wang Yu let them go for the time being.
Next was Building B, followed by Building C.
He didn't find any trace of the mutant until he had checked all of Building D.
Although it was as expected, Wang Yu was still very displeased.
It was already noon, and Wang Yu should have gone back to have lunch with his women.
But he didn't.
Instead, he took something random from his storage ring, ate it quickly, and continued clearing the zombies in dormitory area 4.
He kicked open the doors one by one, killed the living zombies, and collected them into his storage ring.
The zombies that had already been killed by the mutant were directly collected.
In any case, not a single zombie would be left in the entire dormitory area 4!
Not even a corpse!
This was quite a large workload, and it wasn't until dusk approached, around five o'clock in the afternoon, that Wang Yu finished clearing the entire dormitory area.
He counted the zombies in his storage ring: 268 had insect crystals, and a staggering 584 did not!
So many insect crystals had all gone to that damned mutant...
Wang Yu was very angry.
584 level 1 insect crystals!
That was enough to raise five ordinary people to level 2!
Although level 1 insect crystals were everywhere now, Wang Yu was clearly in short supply.
He himself hadn't reached level 3 yet, and none of his subordinates had reached level 2.
To raise You Xinci and the others to level 3 would require over eight thousand, or nearly ten thousand insect crystals!
One had to realize that this Hai Dian campus of Hai Xin University had only a few thousand people in total.
Did he really think ten thousand zombies were that easy to kill?
Wang Yu currently only had 1121!
He stood on the top floor of Building A and glanced at the slightly further dormitory area 5.
"Wait, you lingering ghost, I will settle things with you tonight!"
