This Mindset...  

"Hmm?"

"Call me husband and see?"

"What?"

Cynthia Sanchez widened her eyes, stopped eating, and looked at Bruce Roberts with an incredulous expression.

What's going on with this guy?

He was just furious and killing a moment ago. How come he suddenly wants me to call him husband?

This mindset...

Bruce Roberts grinned and explained, "Well, we slept together last night anyway, so what's wrong with calling me husband?"

"But... but we're not really that close now, are we?"

"You almost got me killed just now. Don't you think you owe me?"

"I... I..."

"Hurry up, or if I get angry again, who knows what I might do to you?"

"Don't force me..."

Hearing Bruce Roberts say this, Cynthia Sanchez became anxious.

"Do you want to call or not?"

"I... I'll call, isn't that enough?"

Cynthia Sanchez was close to tears. Earlier, she cried out of frustration and guilt, but now it's because she's being bullied by Bruce Roberts.

Bruce Roberts showed no mercy, chuckling as he set the food aside.

"Come on, let me hear it..."

"... husband..."

"Louder, I can't hear!!"

"Hus... band!" Cynthia Sanchez was being terribly bullied by Bruce Roberts.

Not only was she forced to sleep with him, but now she's being forced to call him husband.

And she has to speak louder?

Although Cynthia Sanchez was reluctant, she felt guilty towards Bruce Roberts because of what happened earlier.

And also, she was a bit fearful of him after he killed that woman just now.So she didn't dare to offend Bruce Roberts.

But as soon as the word "husband" was uttered, their relationship improved considerably.

At least over time, Cynthia Sanchez wasn't as afraid of Bruce Roberts as before.

Occasionally, she could even crack a joke or two.

Glancing at the betrayal rate, it had dropped from 90% to 58%.

Okay, good!

Believing it wouldn't take much time, Cynthia Sanchez's additional rewards would soon be credited.

Room 8008 at the Rhine Hotel!

Where Bruce Roberts bullied Cynthia Sanchez!

The slaughter elsewhere continued!

Although the streets outside were devoid of any humans and the monsters seemed to have diminished, the twisted vehicles and devastated roads served as constant reminders to everyone that the previous monster invasion was serious!

Around noon, Jesse Thompson dealt with the mutated female classmate in the convenience store and calmed down the other dark-haired girl with a ponytail!

After resting for a bit and clearing out a few monsters around, he grabbed a quick bite to eat and set off towards the sophomore teaching building with a hiking bag on his back.

He needed to rescue Cynthia Sanchez!

In his memory, Cynthia Sanchez from his previous life was trapped in the sophomore teaching building along with other classmates!

It was the survivors from the school who organized the counterattack and saved her.

He remembered that when they had just saved her, she was starving.

It was that bastard Bruce Roberts who took the opportunity to give her some food and kept her alive.

It was also for this reason that he and Cynthia Sanchez were tied together on Bruce Roberts' ship of thieves.

In this life, he had silently sworn in his heart that he would never repeat the mistakes of his past life.

Thinking of this, Jesse Thompson's strength with the axe increased by two points without him realizing it.

A lizardman couldn't evade and was easily knocked down by him.

"Who's that guy?"

"Damn!"

"Too awesome!"

"He can take on three at once?"

"Strong, incredibly strong!"

"Huh? That guy... seems to be... Jesse Thompson from our class??""What? Jesse Thompson from our class?"

The route from the convenience store to the teaching building passed by several male dormitories. At this time, the survivors from those male dormitories, upon seeing the distant figure resembling a war god, couldn't help but show expressions of surprise, one after another.

Especially on the balcony of the top floor dormitory, there was a student named Ignacio.

"How... how is this possible?"

"Jesse Thompson, this guy usually never dares to fight back when bullied. How did he suddenly become so fierce??"

Seeing Jesse Thompson's agility and skilled movements from afar, Ignacio was dumbfounded.

It should be noted that although humans were caught off guard by these alien creatures, most humans weren't just waiting to be killed. When faced with threats, humans unleash tremendous potential.

So in the first encounters between monsters and humans in major cities, humans exterminated a large number of monsters at a great cost.

But even so, there were still many monsters outside, right?

Jesse Thompson actually dared to venture out alone??

"Huh? What's that...?"

Suddenly, Ignacio seemed to have discovered something, his expression momentarily stunned.

Then he rubbed his eyes as if not daring to believe what he had just seen.

"James, James, come here quick and see!"

He was excited but didn't dare to shout loudly, so he could only lower his voice and call out to his companion!

Hearing Ignacio's soft call, a burly student in the dormitory, accompanied by two other roommates, came out.

The leading student's name was James, strong and robust in stature!

He looked like someone with formidable combat abilities.

"What's up, Ignacio?"

"What do you see there?"

Ignacio didn't have time to explain further and quickly pointed to a large tree at the corner of the dormitory's exterior wall!

James followed Ignacio's direction with his gaze.

"Hmm? Where?"

"That tree, that tree over there..." Ignacio was getting anxious.

James shrugged, "Tree?? There are trees everywhere outside..."

"No, I mean the tree at the corner of the wall, behind that tree..."Upon hearing Ignacio's words, James finally locked onto the target.

There was a high wall at the connection between the dormitory and the corridor.

And on the green belt next to the high wall, rows of camphor trees were planted for landscaping.

Due to the cosmic storm, these camphor trees, which originally had bowl-sized trunks, had mutated.

The trunks were as thick as four to five people hugging together!

But all of this was not the point!

The point was behind the giant trunk, where there was a cluster of silver dots about a meter in diameter, resembling stars.

These dots, like whirlpools, gently rotated in the air.

It was like a cosmic galaxy.

However, due to the angle, people from other dormitories couldn't see it.

Even they could only catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of these dots.

"Damn, what is that? It looks so awesome!"

"James, do you think there might be treasures there?"

"Trea... treasures?"

Hearing a classmate say this, James's heart raced.

If someone had told him before nine o'clock this morning that there might be treasures there, he would have definitely called that person crazy.

But today was different.

Zombies and alien creatures had appeared outside!

He and Ignacio had also awakened some special abilities.

Now, it wasn't strange at all for some special treasures to appear outside.

Thinking of this, James's breathing involuntarily became rapid.

"Should we go check it out?"

After exchanging glances with a few other students, one of them tentatively suggested.

Humans' curiosity was actually very strong, especially since there might be treasures there?

James said, "What do you guys think?"

"I think we should."

"I also think we should give it a try."

"But there are so many monsters outside, we might die if we go out, right?"

A shorter, more timid boy hesitated a bit.

"Die if we die!! Damn it!"

James glared at the boy and cursed, "With the current crisis outside, if we want to survive, we absolutely cannot just sit and wait for death."
