Chapter 7: Methods of Obtaining Food (Above)

Judging from the attributes of that zombie earlier, even though Lin Mo had leveled up with significant improvements in all stats, he was still slightly weaker than the zombie in terms of strength and constitution.

His only advantage-agility, or speed-was practically useless in the cramped environment of the dormitory building. 

As for spirit… what good was that?

In other words, in a one-on-one fight, Lin Mo clearly wasn’t a match for the zombie yet. 

And with zombies, a single bite meant game over. 

Lin Mo had no intention of testing whether this so-called reincarnation system could grant him immunity to the zombie virus. 

But if that was the case, how could he kill a zombie?

Lin Mo frowned as he pondered. 

If anyone knew what he was thinking right now, they’d surely think he was insane. 

While everyone else was desperately trying to avoid zombies, he was figuring out how to kill one?

Lost in thought, he glanced at his three roommates. 

Their faces were pale from hunger, their bodies weak and listless. 

In contrast, Lin Mo, having just leveled up, no longer felt hungry and was brimming with energy. 

But how long could this state last if they didn’t eat?

Without a doubt, if they just kept waiting like this, they’d starve to death within days.

After a moment’s hesitation, Lin Mo gritted his teeth and spoke up. 

“Are you… just planning to wait here forever?”

His words immediately drew their attention.

Zhou Kai sighed. 

“What else can we do?” 

Even someone as impulsive as him had lost half his nerve after seeing a zombie up close and fighting it. 

The thought of those terrifying monsters lurking outside filled him with doubt-could he really survive? 

His mind conjured images of being pounced on and torn apart by zombies, and his body went limp, consumed by fear and despair.

“If this keeps up, in a few days, we’ll—”

“In a few days, we’ll starve to death,” Zhang Yu finished Lin Mo’s sentence, his face etched with deep worry and resentment. 

They were still young-dying for no reason like this was something no one could accept.

“But… what can we do?”

“We go out!” Lin Mo suddenly stood up.

“Out?” Zhou Kai’s eyes widened in shock. “But—”

“That’s right. We have to leave! We need to get enough food to survive. Only then can we safely wait in the dorm for rescue,” Zhang Yu said firmly, clearly having made up his mind.

Wang Jie remained curled up on his bed, hugging his knees in silence.

“But where do we even get food? The supermarket?” 

Zhou Kai bit his lip. 

Deep down, he knew that if they kept waiting, even if no more zombies came, they’d still starve. 

To survive, they had to take the risk.

“Forget about the supermarket—it’s too far…” 

Lin Mo shook his head. 

The campus supermarket was at least half a kilometer from the dormitory, and who knew how many zombies lurked along the way.

“Then…” 

Zhou Kai was at a loss.

“No need for the supermarket—there’s food right in the dorm building!” 

At that moment, Zhang Yu suddenly slammed the table and stood up abruptly.
