Chapter 6: The Ability to Protect Himself

After Tian Jinghan gave her offer, she looked a little shy.
Her cheeks turned slightly red and her eyelashes blinked.
She was very alluring.
However, Zhou Yuan was unmoved by such a scene.
In the face of life and death, no matter how beautiful a woman was, she was just a skeleton in his eyes!
Not to mention, for this class beauty to have lived to this day, it was very likely that she was no longer clean.
Zhou Yuan was a clean freak when it came to this.
Therefore, Zhou Yuan said coldly,
“I’m a germophobe!”
“Rather than that, it’s more practical for you to hurry and search for supplies.”
Hearing the word ‘germaphobe’, Tian Jinghan’s face instantly became extremely ugly.
Zhou Yuan was implying that she was not clean.
This could be said to be a great insult to her.
Even though she was indeed not clean anymore.
Moreover, although her voice was soft, Zhou Yuan’s voice was loud.
When the other students heard this, they immediately understood.
They all had a look of disdain and ridicule on their faces.
Tian Jinghan had also used this move on them.
Three of the five had taken her offer before.
When they saw Zhou Yuan’s disgust towards Tian Jinghan, they didn’t sympathize with her but instead gloated.
This was the dark side of human nature.
When the environment was stable, everyone regarded Tian Jinghan as a goddess.
No matter how many dirty thoughts they had, no one dared to reveal them.
However, when the world was ending and survival became their main priority on the wasteland…
They relied on food and water to trample on their former goddess.
In order to obtain morbid satisfaction.
In the face of survival, they all began to protect themselves and scoffed at their former goddess.
It was as if belittling Tian Jinghan would make them nobler.
In comparison, Zhou Yuan was a person who was willing to exchange with others and he would not force the other party to trade with him.
He seemed a lot more decent!
However, people would often push the blame on the person in front of them.
Tian Jinghan didn’t blame those people for abandoning her after using her. Instead, she felt great resentment towards Zhou Yuan.
She couldn’t help but think.
“Why can’t you give me some water to drink first?”
“I already said that I’ll give you the items later. We’re all classmates, why don’t you believe me?”
“I’m willing to exchange my body for it.”
“What right do you have to despise me, Zhou Yuan?”
“You’re a germaphobe? I am not clean?”
“Just look at your own unkempt appearance!”
The more Tian Jinghan thought about it, the angrier she became. Her sense of shame and self-esteem that had been hurt by Zhou Yuan exploded with intense anger.
Finally, Tian Jinghan couldn’t take it anymore. She screamed like a shrew,
“You cowards!”
“You’re willing to lower your head and exchange something for that little bit of water, allowing him to exploit you!”
“There are five of you. Don’t you dare to make a move?”
“There’s still a lot of water in his bag. We can grab them and share them with everyone!”
“I swear! I’ll accompany whoever gets the water for three days!”
As soon as she said this, the five people were stunned and looked at each other.
Then, everyone had a strange expression on their faces.
They had all replenished the water in their body and their strength had recovered.
Hearing Tian Jinghan’s words, they suddenly had many thoughts.
That’s right, why not snatch them?
Previously, everyone was extremely thirsty and no one resisted Zhou Yuan’s unyielding attitude.
However, now…
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
“Hmph!” Zhou Yuan’s sneer attracted everyone’s attention.
He raised the bottle that was half full in the air and said coldly,
“I’ll give it to whoever slaps her first. ”
Hearing this, the eyes of the five male students suddenly lit up, and they rushed to Tian Jinghan.
Tian Jinghan’s face was dazed and she didn’t react in time.
She was slapped a few times.
These few people acted extremely quickly, afraid that they would not be the first to act.
Thus, the force of their slaps were naturally very heavy.
Tian Jinghan stumbled and fell to the ground, her face red and swollen.
Zhou Yuan glanced at Tian Jinghan with disdain.
Water was more important than women these days.
If one couldn’t satisfy their basic survival needs, who would care about a woman’s stinky skin?
Unfortunately, Tian Jinghan didn’t understand this.
Zhou Yuan tossed the water bottle over and turned to leave.
The small bottle of water naturally caused an intense fight, but in the end, the five of them came to an agreement and split the water.
Then they left, and from beginning to end, no one looked at Tian Jinghan, who was on the ground.
Tian Jinghan laid on the ground motionlessly. Compared to the physical pain, the pain in her heart was more unbearable.
At this moment, the thought of self-liberation was extremely strong.
However, even after picking up a sharp piece of tile and pressing it against her neck, she still could not bring herself to do it.
After a long time, a low mumble came from the reservoir.
It was like the lamentation of a lonely soul or the curse of a demon.
“I can’t die! You’re the ones who should die!!!”
Tian Jinghan stood up.
Under her disheveled hair, her eyes exuded a strong sense of resentment.
She didn’t say a word and walked toward the depths of the wasteland.
………
Zhou Yuan was standing in front of a pond that was emitting a pungent smell.
He frowned and fell into deep thought.
The previous exchange had given him 184 system gold coins.
He would have a second evolution chance.
After leaving the few students, he pondered as he walked.
How should he use this evolution chance to maximize his benefits?
When he saw the pond full of polluted and stinky water, he had thought of purifying it.
However, after thinking about it, he gave up.
First of all, the system had said that the evolution of non-living things was unpredictable.
It could be better or worse.
In the previous evolution, his lucky attribute had burst forth and turned the pool of water in the reservoir into clean drinking water.
According to the general rule, if he was to use the evolution on the water again…
There was a high probability that nothing good would happen.
It was like buying a lottery ticket.
If you win the first time today, it might be your good luck.
However, if you bought it the next day, there was a high chance that you would not win.
If it could still hit, then luck would not only be an attribute of yours, instead you might actually be the reincarnation of a lucky man.
Zhou Yuan did not think that he was the reincarnation of a lucky man, so he did not dare to bet his second evolution chance on water.
There was another important point.
Even if he was lucky enough to turn the water in the pond into clean drinkable water again.
Such a large pond would definitely attract the covetous eyes of others!
At that time, it might attract people from dozens of kilometers away to fight for it.
He was alone and weak, so it was impossible for him to protect himself.
Therefore, after considering all the above, Zhou Yuan gave up on this option.
From the previous incident with Tian Jinghan, Zhou Yuan also realized one thing.
There were no moral laws in the doomsday wasteland.
There were many cases of people hiding precious resources and getting into trouble every day.
In the future, he would be able to obtain a lot of resources or supplies through the system.
He had to have enough power to protect himself!
However, how could he obtain the ability to protect himself?
Zhou Yuan fell into deep thought.
