Mechanic endlessly amassing troops in the apocalypse

To be honest, Li Fei didn't like survivors.

Who knows whether the people in the apocalypse are good or evil?

He'd rather level up and fight monsters alone than have a bunch of useless teammates.

But we can't pretend we don't see it.

He frowned and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong~

"Hello, is anyone home?"

No one responded.

He then shouted, "If no one's home, I'll break down the door."

Without hesitation, he activated the exoskeleton robotic arm at full power to push the door open.

With a sound of something moving on the floor, the door was quickly pushed open a crack, and he slipped into the room.

As soon as I entered, I saw someone trying to squeeze through the window to another room.

"No wonder the food in the room was gone; they must have taken it." Li Fei's mind raced. He couldn't let them escape; in the apocalypse, any potential threat could lead to disaster.

Seeing that most of the woman's body had already leaned out of the window, he rushed forward and precisely grabbed her left arm, which was not yet fully over the window frame, with his right hand.

"Ah!" the woman exclaimed, as he forcefully pulled her back from the window, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.

"Let me go!" she whispered as she struggled.

Li Fei reacted extremely quickly. Before she could get up, his knee pressed down on her shoulders and back, and his left hand swiftly covered her mouth and nose, pressing her face to the ground. The whole sequence of actions was clean and efficient, making it difficult for her to move.

"Ugh...!" The woman beneath him let out a muffled groan.

Li Fei stopped looking at her and instead stared out the window, lowering his voice to say, "If you don't want anything to happen to your companion, come back yourself."

After a brief silence, a small hand peeked out from the windowsill.

Another girl bit her lip and carefully flipped back over. After landing, she looked at Li Fei, her eyes darting away, but she didn't run away again.

Li Fei's gaze swept across her face, and he couldn't help but feel slightly surprised.

Although her hair looked like a bird's nest and her face was dark and shiny, you could tell that she had a good foundation. She had a small oval face, a straight nose, and a pair of long legs with extremely perfect proportions.

He glanced instinctively at the woman he had subdued. Even in this disheveled position, her figure was still striking, especially the outline of her chest, which was quite prominent under pressure.

Two beauties? The fact that they can move around freely means they are either lone wolves without any organization, or their organization is relatively law-abiding.

Both of these are good news.

Li Fei breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"I'm back!" The long-legged girl, who had just climbed in, gritted her teeth and looked at Li Fei. "Let Sister Mu Cheng go!"

"So loyal..." Li Fei was slightly surprised, but smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just have some questions to ask you."

As he spoke, he released the girl named Mu Cheng.

The latter immediately ran to the long-legged girl's side.

Li Fei shrugged. "Can we sit down and have a proper talk now?"

The two men looked wary, but did not run away.

Li Fei introduced himself: "My name is Li Fei. I don't know how you address me."

The girl, referred to as Sister Mu Cheng, hesitated for a moment before introducing herself: "My name is Tang Mu Cheng, and her name is Su Wan'er."

Li Fei nodded slightly and asked, "You all look quite young, how did you end up trapped in a hotel?"

"That day happened to be the college entrance exam." Tang Mucheng glanced at the calendar on the wall. "Who would have thought that just as we were getting ready to take the exam, chaos broke out outside."

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao)? No wonder. Li Fei then asked, "How long ago did the disaster happen?"

"About... half a year."

Half a year. A thought struck Li Fei—so, when he first arrived in this world, he happened to stumble upon the apocalypse, or was this world actually the world he lived in before he transmigrated?

A strange emotion welled up within him, and he immediately asked nervously, "What's the name of this country?"

The two women looked at each other strangely: "China? How come you don't know that?"

Upon hearing this answer, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Rather than returning to his original world, he hoped that his former family members could live well, rather than living in such a hell.

After calming down, he asked, "So, how did you survive for the past six months?"

Tang Mucheng didn't hide anything: "There's a storage room on this floor, filled with bottled water, instant noodles, and other odds and ends. There's still some left; you can take it all if you need it."

"I see..." Li Fei nodded slightly. "One last question: what evidence do you have to prove that you've been living here all along?"

It wasn't that he was paranoid; it was just that he had been to this world many times and had never noticed any living people. What if they were just survivors who had temporarily come to search for supplies, and he let them go now, only to turn around and bring a group of people back? That would be a huge problem.

The two girls looked at each other, as if they had made up their minds, and pointed to several bulging plastic bags in the corner.

"Inside are... used personal hygiene products." Tang Mucheng turned her face away. "If we came here temporarily, there's no need for us to bring those things with us."

Li Fei looked in that direction and indeed saw a bag stuffed with miscellaneous items, which was full of "some red and white trash".

...Okay, that makes sense now. No wonder there are so many zombies on this floor.

"Uh...sorry." He subconsciously touched his nose, but couldn't feel it through the helmet, so he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Then why did you run away when you saw me?"

A shadow crossed Tang Mucheng's eyes. She lowered her voice and said, "Because we saw other survivors before, they..."

These words made Li Fei's relaxed mood jump again.

"Explain in detail."

Tang Mucheng didn't hide anything and told the whole story directly.

"Not long after the apocalypse broke out, I was looking for an escape route by the window when I saw people being thrown out of the second floor of the shopping mall next door. And it wasn't just one person; several men were thrown out. I could also see people looking out the window from time to time."

After listening, Li Fei's expression turned serious. That's right, in the apocalypse, humanity is the most vulnerable to testing.

It seems there's a group of desperados downstairs. They're not only ruthless and cold-blooded, but also incredibly stupid. They're actually throwing people down from the building. Do they think there aren't enough zombies already?

In the apocalypse, it's not the clever schemers who are to be feared, but the fools who come up with brilliant ideas. These idiots must be dealt with as soon as possible.

"Do they have guns?" he asked, voicing his most pressing question.

If there's no gun, everything is fine; the other party is just an ordinary person who's a bit more cunning than a zombie. But if the other party has a gun, then everything needs to be carefully considered.

Tang Mucheng shook her head. "It seems not. We haven't heard any particularly loud noises."

Li Fei nodded slightly, feeling much more relieved.

He looked at the two women and said, "I'm sorry I startled you. As an apology, I have some food and water here."

As he spoke, he handed over a bag of food.

There was some bread, sausages, and bottled water inside.

The two women were slightly taken aback. In the apocalypse, a strong person was actually giving food to the weak? What kind of philanthropist was this?

"And these too," he said, walking over to the pile of bags full of trash. "I'll take care of these too; they're just a nuisance here."

The two women's expressions became even stranger.

Li Fei picked up the trash bag, but didn't leave immediately. Instead, he earnestly instructed, "One last thing: just stay here and don't get any ideas and run around."

After he finished emphasizing this, he turned and disappeared out the door.
