"Hey, did the female classmates wet their pants as expected? While there's still a little buffer time, you should hurry up and clean yourselves. Otherwise, the first ones the insects eat will be you delicate women with such strong body odor!"
Just as the classmates were gripped by panic, unsure what to do, Li Jiayu's mocking voice and sharp words suddenly came from behind them.
The students turned around in unison, only to see Li Jiayu standing behind them at his leisure. He held a gleaming fire axe in his hand. Coupled with his sharp eyes, he actually looked the part, possessing the air of a warrior.
"Li Jiayu... you, why are you talking so nastily... Are you even a man? She's already like that, and you still have the nerve to mock her..."
A female student who had wet her pants cried out of shame, her eyes red as she sniffled, large tears rolling down her cheeks. Normally, if a boy made a girl cry in class, he would definitely be attacked by the group, but in this oppressive atmosphere, the students who realized the severity of the situation didn't have much energy to quarrel over such trivial matters.
Li Jiayu turned his head and glanced at the crying girl. Her name was Zhou Jiamin. She was pretty and charming, with a great figure. Even though she was now crying pitifully like a pear blossom in the rain, she possessed a different kind of charm, evoking pity.
Unfortunately, Li Jiayu didn't have much sympathy for girls who were overly delicate and cried at the drop of a hat.
In the apocalypse, it was very difficult to survive alone, so you needed teammates. But if your team had a woman who was a hindrance, only knew how to beg others for protection, and cried all day long, then the team's operational efficiency would be reduced by at least half!
Fear not a god-like opponent, but fear a pig-like teammate!
Women like Zhou Jiamin... their fates in the apocalypse were extremely tragic. They were either devoured by insects right away or became commodities for men, never again able to enjoy the pursuit and pampering of all men by virtue of their beauty as they did before.
Li Jiayu shook his head and spoke faintly, unable to hide the mocking, indifferent tone:
"You think I'm teasing you? It's a kind reminder; if you don't want to listen, fine. Since you insist on seeking death, I naturally won't object."
Pausing here, Li Jiayu smacked his lips and continued:
"Fellow classmates, I have seen the future of this world, and I have seen your futures too. How you will die, I know it all clearly!"
Saying this, Li Jiayu pointed at Zhou Jiamin:
"Zhou Jiamin, you will be the first girl in our class to die. Because you wet yourself, your scent is too strong, and you'll be targeted first by a Scythe Beetle flying in through the window. First, your neck will be clamped off, blood spraying half a meter high, staining the floor red. Then your head will be chewed into pulp by the Scythe Beetle. What a pity for such a beautiful face... However, the Scythe Beetle will only take a few bites of your head before discarding it without finishing the brain matter. Brains will splatter all over the floor. When the classmates finally drive the Scythe Beetle away after suffering heavy casualties, your devastated head will be held by your best friend, crying bitterly..."
"You're full of shit! Nonsense! My end can't possibly be that tragic..."
Zhou Jiamin turned deathly pale with anger, yet felt even more uneasy. Her delicate body began to tremble uncontrollably. She forced herself not to believe Li Jiayu's "wild talk," but thinking of his "god-like predictions," her heart trembled, sinking into icy fear.
Li Jiayu then pointed at another tall, sturdy boy:
"You, Lin Zhibin. You've actually had a secret crush on Zhou Jiamin for four years, from high school to sophomore year, am I right?"
Lin Zhibin leaped up, his face flushed red, stammering:
"Y-You're talking nonsense... I only see Zhou Jiamin as a friend!"
"Hmph, perhaps even you haven't acknowledged those feelings. But after Zhou Jiamin dies tragically, you'll be the first one to jump up like a madman, grab a desk, and charge at the Scythe Beetle. Your roommates are also very loyal; seeing you go up, they'll all charge forward fearlessly. As a result, after your group of six suffers three deaths and two injuries, the Scythe Beetle will finally be forced back. The three who die will be Du Wei, Liang Bin, and Jiang Haitao. And you, Lin Zhibin, will have an arm clamped off... But, as if you can't feel the pain of the severed arm, you'll just hold Zhou Jiamin's headless body, crying bitterly, shouting things like 'I should have confessed my feelings sooner' and 'I'll die with you'..."
"Stop! Stop talking! I beg you, stop talking... I know I'm not worthy of a beauty like her, but I will absolutely not allow that to happen! I will protect her!" Lin Zhibin gritted his teeth, glanced at Zhou Jiamin, and then shouted angrily at Li Jiayu.
"Mm, let's hope so... What I saw is just one possible future. Fate won't necessarily follow the path I described. Everything can still be changed."
Li Jiayu patted Lin Zhibin's shoulder, then pointed at a boy wearing glasses:
"Wang Siyuan, while escaping, you will be pierced in the calf by the tail of a Venomous Lion Scorpion. In less than five seconds, your calf will turn black, then start to fester and rot. It will spread from the calf up the thigh, then reach your heart. You will be tormented by the taste of rot until your throat is raw from screaming. You are the first person I saw rot to death..."
"Impossible! I have great fortune! The fortune teller said I have Buddha's protection... How could I die so miserably?"
Wang Siyuan staggered back two steps, his face pale. Although he shouted disbelief, his mood was utterly terrible.
Ignoring Wang Siyuan's reaction, Li Jiayu pointed at another fair-skinned boy:
"Zhang Han, your end while escaping will also be tragic. You will be entangled by a two-meter-long Purple-Blood Centipede. The centipede's hundreds of legs are sharp as knives. Wrapped around your body, it will be like a thousand sharp blades cutting your flesh, no less painful than death by slow slicing. At that time, you'll desperately scream for help, your voice as tragic as a cuckoo crying blood, but..."
Zhang Han's face stiffened. Swallowing hard, he said:
"But no one will dare step forward to save me from the centipede's mouth, right..."
"Correct. At that time, it won't just be you; many people will be desperate and helpless, afraid of getting themselves involved too. Many people will barely be able to protect themselves..."
Li Jiayu nodded, then pointed at a girl:
"Han Xiaoqi, you will be pinned to the ground by a zombie. You'll cry and resist, but how can you push away a zombie with immense strength..."
Han Xiaoqi's body trembled, her delicate frame shaking, and she shrieked:
"What? Am I going to be... that by a zombie? Li Jiayu, you bastard! What you're saying isn't true..."
"Hey, hey! Let me finish! Zombies don't have filthy human thoughts, how could they do that... That zombie will just bite your neck, tearing off piece after piece of flesh and blood. I personally saw you coughing up large amounts of black blood clots from your mouth and nose, presumably because your throat and trachea were rotting from the corpse poison. In the end, your entire body will be chewed until no piece of flesh is intact, and you too will become a zombie, wandering in the darkness, a walking corpse..."
"A zombie... will I become a zombie? With that kind of ugly appearance, immortally wandering in the darkness?"
Han Xiaoqi felt cold all over. As a girl who loved to dress up, a somewhat narcissistic girl, suffering the fate of becoming a zombie, and a zombie with rotting flesh all over, would undoubtedly be extremely tragic for her.
"You, Gao Xiang, will have parasites drill into your mouth, then your internal organs will be gnawed away. You'll be in agony for three full days and nights, finally dying with your intestines ruptured..."
"You, He Jialan, will be abducted by a group of criminals taking advantage of the chaos, never to be heard from again. I imagine you'll either commit suicide or be tormented to death..."
"You, Sha Yiran, because of extreme hunger, you'll secretly eat a bit of meat from those dead insects. As a result, you'll get food poisoning, your skin swelling up all over like an inflated balloon. Finally, your belly will swell to the size of three watermelons, and you'll commit suicide because of it."
"You, Liang Junjie, will get into a conflict with someone and have your limbs chopped off with a machete, then your body will be thrown to feed the insects..."
Li Jiayu pointed at the students one by one, his tone absolutely certain:
"Your ends will all be extremely miserable. Perhaps a small number will survive by luck, escape to Yong City, Yang City, or Jianye, finding protection from the military, but invariably, you'll just be enslaved by others, living extremely harsh lives. You'll lament the darkness while cursing the damned insects, yet lack the courage to stand up and fight them, and even more so, lack the courage to find release in death!"
"What about me? Li Jiayu... what will my fate be?"
Sun Weiwei looked at Li Jiayu's face, flickering in the lightning's reflection, and asked with trepidation. Li Jiayu hadn't mentioned her future, but she desperately wanted to know.
"You? Do you really want to hear?"
Li Jiayu turned back, looking at the pretty, radiant Sun Weiwei, a curve forming on his lips:
"Did you know? Many women become sacrifices or commodities in the apocalypse... You're afraid of death. You were pampered since childhood, cherished in the palms of your family and suitors, so you cling desperately to life. You're willing to give up many things to survive, like dignity, like integrity... To find someone to protect you, you'll seduce a senior student. He comes from a Xingyiquan martial arts family, has courage, and high skill. He can protect you... But he'll die quickly. And you'll once again use your body as a bargaining chip, finding a middle-aged brute who fought in underground boxing matches to protect you... Then a military officer with some power. Finally, you'll become the mistress of a military district commander. And in a fit of jealous rivalry, you'll be disfigured by another mistress with sulfuric acid... Then, you'll go mad, end up homeless on the streets, and have your brains sucked out by a Soul-Devouring Beast..."
"Ah!"
Sun Weiwei gasped sharply, ice spreading through her body, goosebumps uncontrollably covering her skin. She could never have imagined that she would one day become that kind of loose woman who sold her body, let alone become someone's mistress. And her end was what women feared most – disfigurement by acid!
"Alright, let's not discuss this anymore... In short, you just need to know one thing: if you want to avoid tragedy, try to be a little smarter!"
Just as Li Jiayu's words fell, a heart-wrenching scream came from outside the window!
A student with sharp eyes looked out the window and was immediately scared out of their wits!
