Before Wang Yu could make any more moves, the dragon perched on the balcony opened its massive maw.
A torrent of golden flames erupted from its mouth, instantly engulfing Wang Yu.
Poor Wang Yu could only manage a half-scream.
Indeed, only half a scream, for after that, he turned to ash.
Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi, already walking down the hallway, felt a chill run down their spines as they heard the earsplitting scream coming from behind.
They both turned to look at Su Ye, but the guy didn't even turn his head. He acted as if nothing had happened.
It was Chi Lie who had killed Wang Yu, acting on Su Ye's orders.
Did those who had earned Su Ye's hatred really think they could survive?
The reason he dealt with it after the three had left was simply to prevent the two girls from seeing that terrifying scene!
The three continued down the hallway.
When they reached the garden in front of the dormitory building, there were already quite a few monsters wandering around, having heard the commotion.
This was the first time Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi had left the dormitory since the apocalypse began. Seeing those monsters up close, they immediately turned pale with fear.
"Big Brother, what in the world happened to this world?" Su Qian Er asked in a low voice, as if afraid that her voice would be too loud and attract the attention of the monsters in front of them.
Su Ye sighed and looked at Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi: "Whether you believe it or not, this world has already welcomed the apocalypse. Civilization has collapsed, and everything has returned to a bloody barbaric age..."
With that, Su Ye briefly recounted the events leading up to the apocalypse.
Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi were confused. On the one hand, they couldn't believe it, and on the other hand, they couldn't help but believe it.
As the saying goes, hearsay is unreliable, but seeing is believing.
If it were only Su Ye's words, it might be difficult to convince them that the apocalypse had arrived.
But the sight before them was indeed a scene of apocalypse!
How could they explain that?
Just as they were about to ask something, a few Venomous Spiders in the flowerbed ahead seemed to have caught their scent.
They quickly slid their eight long legs and rushed towards them.
"Big Brother, over there..." Su Qian Er was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Lin Yan Xi was also scared. In her panic, she subconsciously grabbed Su Ye's arm.
Su Ye, on the other hand, remained calm and whistled towards a certain direction.
A roaring wind followed, and a giant figure descended from the sky, crashing down in front of Su Ye and the others.
It was Chi Lie.
Venomous Spiders, though not high-level, were among the most troublesome monsters. A spray of their venom could instantly cause flesh to rot.
Even some low-level armor couldn't withstand the venom's corrosion.
Therefore, Su Ye didn't intend to fight the Venomous Spiders himself.
Chi Lie landed from the air and, without a word, unleashed a dragon's breath.
The three Venomous Spiders didn't have time to spray their venom before they were ignited into fireballs, instantly turning to charcoal.
After doing this, Chi Lie turned around and walked towards Su Ye.
He was still puffing and snorting, as if he was trying to show off to Su Ye.
Being stared at by such a behemoth, Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi were terrified and quickly hid behind Su Ye.
Seeing this, Su Ye chuckled and patted Chi Lie on the head: "Don't be afraid, he's one of us. His name is Chi Lie."
Hearing this, Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi's worldviews collapsed.
Su Ye called a dragon one of his own?
And this dragon even had a name?
Oh my god, this...
Su Qian Er swallowed her saliva, keeping a safe distance from Chi Lie: "Big Brother, what else are you hiding from me?"
In her mind, Su Ye was just an ordinary, average college graduate who worked diligently and lived an ordinary, unremarkable life.
But now, the Su Ye before her was wearing custom-made rattan armor and carrying a long sword. As soon as he appeared, he killed Wang Yu and the others.
Then, he told her that the apocalypse had come, that the world had no order anymore, and so on.
Now, there was a giant dragon named Chi Lie, and he was one of their own.
This was just...
Su Ye sighed and shook his head: "These things can't be explained in a short time. You'll understand gradually."
With that, Su Ye walked to the edge of the flowerbed and scanned the area.
Within the weeds of the flowerbed, countless bones were scattered.
The stench was unbearable, and most of the flesh on the bones had been devoured. Judging from the appearance, it should be the work of the Venomous Spiders.
"There must be a lot of these spiders around here," Su Ye suddenly asked, looking at Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi.
Hearing this, the two girls looked at each other, then nodded in unison.
After the apocalypse came, the two had been cowering on the balcony, watching what was happening here.
The monsters that appeared most frequently in the flowerbed were the spiders Su Ye had mentioned.
They were venomous, and they would pounce on the terrified students, inject them with venom, and then devour them.
The bones remaining in the flowerbed were left by these Venomous Spiders.
Seeing the two girls nod, Su Ye confirmed his guess.
"Then it seems there's a nest of Venomous Spiders nearby. We need to find it."
With that, Su Ye called for Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi to get on Chi Lie's back.
At first, the two were reluctant, but then they realized that this dragon named Chi Lie seemed quite friendly, so they bravely climbed on his back.
The three settled in, and Chi Lie soared into the air, flying to a high altitude.
Su Qian Er and Lin Yan Xi were afraid of heights and clung tightly to Su Ye's arms, making the latter quite speechless.
He had no choice but to take the two koala-like creatures with him to search the campus.
Only a few days had passed since the apocalypse, and the once vibrant campus had changed drastically.
The teaching buildings were empty, leaving only the bones gnawed by Venomous Spiders.
Under Su Ye's guidance, Chi Lie took the three of them around a small portion of the campus, finally discovering something unusual in the gymnasium to the east.
