This Body is Still Weak

"Yeah, at this point, we can only rely on ourselves. Damn, James, if we want to go, we better hurry up."

James was puzzled, "Why?"

"Look over there..."

The speaking boy gestured towards the distance.

That direction was where Jesse Thompson was cautiously making his way through the obstacles.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would reach the silver vortex soon.

"Jesse Thompson? Damn... we can't let that kid get there first. Ignacio, , grab your weapons and follow me!"

James roared angrily, then turned to another timid boy, "If you're too scared to go, then stay here and wait to die!"

With that, James took the lead, grabbing a steel bar and marched out of the room.

There weren't any powerful weapons in the college dormitory!

Their weapons were mostly dismantled from the beds.

But in order to survive better, they had to pick up these inferior weapons and explore this dangerous world.

Puff!

On the way to the teaching building.

Jesse Thompson killed a black iron novice lizardman with a single axe blow!

"Hoo, hoo!" Jesse Thompson breathed heavily.

He tightened the backpack on his back and stretched his sore arms.

Instead of continuing forward, he found a big tree to hide behind.

"Damn, this body is still weak now. Just killing a dozen or so lizardmen already has me struggling..."

Jesse Thompson cursed himself inwardly.

Although he had combat experience from his previous life, he couldn't change the strength of his body.

Even if he used the most energy-saving methods, after killing a dozen or so lizardmen in a row, he was already feeling the strain.

"Huh, what's this..."

Sitting on the ground, leaning against the tree, Jesse Thompson suddenly noticed the existence of the silver vortex.

At this moment, an incredible expression appeared on his face.

Even though he had experienced ten years of the apocalypse, seeing this silver vortex made his heart uncontrollably pound."Holy... how could there be something like this here?" Jesse Thompson couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the silver vortex.

Because of his ten years of experience in the apocalypse, he knew exactly what this thing was.

But in his previous life, he was insignificant, completely unqualified to seize such opportunities.

And now...

As Jesse Thompson looked at the silver dots, he became increasingly excited, quickly getting up and moving towards that direction.

Just then, there were some noises coming from the distant male dormitory building.

Four students were holding weapons, apparently planning to rush out from the male dormitory.

Jesse Thompson carefully looked through the gap in the trees and noticed that these guys were no pushovers in terms of combat ability.

Scattered lizardmen were no match for them.

Even when occasionally faced with a sickle mantis, they managed to kill it together.

"That is..." Jesse Thompson squinted and immediately dispelled the thought of rushing out!

The combat capability of a sickle mantis was actually quite strong, especially in head-on combat.

Ordinary humans, even two adult males without suitable weapons, were no match for them.

And the reason this team could take down the sickle mantis was primarily because of the two people at the front.

They had clear roles and decent combat skills!

One attracted the firepower upfront, while the other launched a surprise attack from behind.

The guy attacking from behind had bulging muscles, and after killing the sickle mantis with the steel bar in his hand!

He even broke off the sickle mantis's forelimbs to use as weapons??

"James?"

Seeing James's way of fighting, Jesse Thompson immediately remembered his name: "I remember in my previous life, this guy named James, relying on awakened abilities and two special treasures, gathered some subordinates and became a presence similar to that bastard Bruce Roberts."

"Now it seems, James probably obtained his treasures from here? Huh, that guy... is it Ignacio??"

Seeing the guy in front who was drawing the sickle mantis's firepower, covered in tiny scales all over his body like a lizardman, Jesse Thompson instantly recalled his name!

Then a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Bruce Roberts was the villainous boss, and of course, he had more than one lackey by his side.

Apart from the previous Finnegan, this Ignacio was also one of them.

In his previous life, Ignacio had bullied him quite a bit.However...

"Why isn't he staying with that bastard Bruce Roberts, but instead teaming up with this James?"

"Damn it, this is getting a bit tricky!"

Jesse Thompson cursed inwardly, not having time to think too much: "With the remaining strength I have now, I'm no match for them at all?"

For the current Jesse Thompson, he could confidently face anyone one-on-one.

But facing two Awakeners at once? That could be troublesome.

"What should I do now? Huh!!"

Just as Jesse Thompson was pondering his next move, a lizardman noticeably larger than the average one, attracted by the corpse of the lizardman Jesse Thompson had killed, approached.

Upon closer inspection, not only was this one nearly as tall as an adult, but its belly also seemed a bit bulging?

This guy obviously had eaten too much?

"Heh!! It seems someone's about to get a surprise in their sleep? It's you..."

With that, Jesse Thompson tightened his grip on the fire axe in his hand, hidden behind the big tree, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to the lizardman.

On one side of the school, Jesse Thompson was on his way to rescue Cynthia Sanchez.

While on the other side!

The two people, now with fewer barriers between them, sat on the windowsill chatting after finishing their meal.

"Bruce Roberts!"

"Call me husband!"

"Hus... husband!"

"Speak!"

"You... earlier when you cleaned the corridor... was it to find these snacks?"

Since they finished eating until now, Bruce Roberts hadn't gone out again, except to change his blood-stained clothes!

As for the reason?

One was because Andúril sword needed to kill one hundred monsters to level up again.

No need to rush!

Another reason was because the monsters now didn't have crystal nuclei!

Although Bruce Roberts hadn't experienced the apocalypse and didn't know what crystal nuclei were.However, the system has clearly stated that only monsters after Black Iron High Rank have the possibility of producing crystal nuclei.

So far, there haven't been any sightings of monsters outside of Black Iron High Rank or higher.

Without monsters yielding crystal nuclei, Bruce Roberts had no need to risk his life.

Moreover, considering his previous excessive consumption, he needed to use rest to recover his strength and abilities.

"No!" Bruce Roberts replied casually. "These things, I prepared them in advance knowing that the apocalypse was coming! The reason I go outside is just to train my survival skills!"

"Survival skills?"

"Yes!" Bruce Roberts answered. "With so many monsters outside, how can one survive without any survival skills?"

"The end of the world?" Cynthia Sanchez murmured to herself, feeling a bit low again.

Cynthia Sanchez had just turned 20 this year!

Although she had lived a privileged life since childhood, she hadn't even had a proper romantic relationship yet... Well... Although it's generally said that the prettier a woman is, the less innocent she is once she passes the age of fourteen, the female lead is always exceptional.

She had loving parents who belonged to the elite class of society, and they had protected her very well.

A girl with extraordinary looks, a happy family, but who hadn't experienced love yet!

Of course, she didn't want the apocalypse to come at all.

"You've asked this before."

"I... I just can't believe this is real!!"

"People who can't believe it now, surely aren't the only ones!" 

Watching the cars outside the window being smashed, Bruce Roberts took a deep breath. "But I think in another two days at most, most people will come to accept reality!"

"Alright... okay!"

Bruce Roberts's concise response made Cynthia Sanchez feel even more melancholic.

Just then, Cynthia Sanchez seemed to notice something.

"Hey, Bruce Roberts, what's that?"

Hearing Cynthia Sanchez's amazed voice, Bruce Roberts subconsciously followed her gaze.

Bruce Roberts was in a hotel.
