Meeting Pei Yijun's calm gaze, Teacher Cao raised his chin and said, "Pei Yijun, this place is my territory now. If you want to stay, hand over your supplies."

"Teacher Cao, it seems you have already forgotten the lesson I taught you. It's only been a few hours, and you have lost your memory? Indeed, old people are forgetful," Li Yang sneered.

Hearing his words, Teacher Cao recalled the punch he received from Li Yang and felt his stomach throb with pain again. He glared at Li Yang and said, "I was caught off guard by your sneak attack. Do you really think you could beat me in a fair fight?"

The moment she heard this, Chu Zhimiao burst out laughing and asked, "Fair fight? Teacher Cao, do you think zombies will give you time to prepare yourself?"

Gritting his teeth, he glared at them and asked, "You think I don't dare to kill you?"

"If you dare, then do it. Why waste time talking?" Li Yang provoked.

Although he appeared calm and strong, he was actually at his weakest. Even though his external wounds had healed, the internal injuries remained.

At this moment, he felt as if his organs were burning, and the rusty taste of blood lingered in his throat. Every now and then, he forced himself to swallow it, refusing to show weakness.

Noticing the cold sweat on his palms, Chu Zhimiao glanced at him worriedly. Standing beside them, Pei Yijun also took note of his friend's condition.

They were exhausted and injured in the battle with mutant zombies. If they fight, their chances of winning are slim.

After a brief silence, Pei Yijun said, "Since this place has already been taken, we will find somewhere else."

When he finished his words, he turned and walked toward the door.

Seeing this, a woman standing beside Teacher Cao stepped forward and blocked their way while saying, "Who said you could leave?"

Pei Yijun narrowed his eyes and said, "Move. Don't make me hurt you."

Instead of backing off, the woman licked her lips and said, "Oh, look at you. I have long wanted to taste someone like you. I wonder if your performance in bed is as good as your looks."

As soon as she spoke, a sweet scent filled the air, and Pei Yijun suddenly felt dizzy. He shook his head, trying to stay conscious, but within moments, he collapsed.

Li Yang and his team were surprised by this situation. Staring at the woman, Li Yang asked angrily, "What did you do to Brother Pei?!"

Seeing how angry he was, the woman chuckled and said, "Don't worry. It will be your turn next."

"What the hell are you—"

Before Li Yang could finish his words, dizziness overtook him, and he fainted. Within five minutes, Pei Yijun and his entire team had collapsed, one after another.

Seeing this, Teacher Cao walked over and kicked Li Yang's stomach as he asked angrily, "Didn't you talk big just now? Why are you lying on the ground now? Damn you!"

He kicked him a few more times before pulling the woman into his arms, squeezing her bottom as he said, "Well done!"

"Brother Cao, don't forget your promise," the woman said coquettishly.

"Don't worry. You can pick what you want first," Teacher Cao assured her before pressing a kiss to her lips.

After a while, he let her go, turned to his men and ordered, "Tie them up and keep an eye on them. The rest of you, move the supplies into the small room."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they quickly rushed to the entrance to get the supplies.

Jiao Lizhi watched from outside the building. Her gaze lingering on the woman in Teacher Cao's embrace for a moment before she quietly slipped away.

Since Pei Yijun and his team were safe for now, there was no need for her to confront this group. Once the soldiers arrived to pick him up, they would have their own way of dealing with these people.

As she tried to find a place to spend the night, Jiao Lizhi's mind was thinking about the next step.

Before the soldiers arrived, she had to take care of that woman. Her ability was too troublesome. If she sneak attacked the soldiers, then it would be hard for them to escape.

What's more, her ability will become even more dangerous if left unchecked. With that woman's character, there is no guarantee that she won't become her enemy in the future.

With her mind made up, Jiao Lizhi climbed a large tree near the lecture hall building. The tree had a diameter of over two meters and was one of the oldest in Lin'an University. Its thick, sturdy branches and dense leaves made it an ideal hiding spot.

She climbed until she reached a well-covered branch, then surveyed the area. After a moment, she nodded, feeling satisfied with her choice. From nearly four meters above the ground, she had a clear view of the situation while remaining hidden among the leaves.

Leaning against the trunk, she closed her eyes to rest while checking her space. She glanced at the supplies scattered across the grassland inside and began sorting them by type. Once everything was organized, she moved the supplies into the house.

Next, she took a pack of dried corn and soaked it in a basin of pond water, allowing it to absorb moisture before planting it in the black soil tomorrow.

By the time she finished, an hour had passed. Looking at the sun setting on the western horizon, she sighed and took out a loaf of bread and a carton of strawberry milk from her backpack.

Ability users had significantly larger appetites than ordinary people due to their energy consumption. This was also why, in the future, they preferred eating mutant animals and edible mutant plants.

Although the taste was worse than regular food, these provided more energy, allowing them to eat less while still feeling full and recovering their strength.
