Chapter 19: The Power of Insight

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, Beth stood in front of Rhodes. She said in an easy-going manner, “I don’t want anything. If you need anything, you can come to me.”

Rhodes cocked an eyebrow. Retreating in order to advance? This woman was quite interesting. He bluntly said, “I can guarantee your safety, but in return, you’ll have to pay a price.”

In the apocalyptic world, there were many things that no longer needed to be concealed like before.

Beth’s face flushed red. Naturally, she knew what Rhodes’ words meant. However, to her surprise, she did not dislike it. Moreover, she had decided to find a strong man to rely on. She could still recall the scene where Rhodes fought so many zombies on his own. He was definitely the strongest man she had seen so far. He was not even afraid of the gun earlier. At least for now, he would be able to guarantee her safety.

Speaking of the gun, he had already put it away in his backpack. He would not possibly leave something so dangerous around that could be used against him later.

At this moment, he looked at Beth’s constantly changing expressions in amusement. He wondered if she would faint if she knew he planned to have her take care of the zombie Julie? In any case, he was patient. Time was needed in order to make someone submit. He would take his time.

When he noticed Beth’s chapped lips, he took out a bottle of water and a piece of bread from his backpack and handed it to her. “Eat sparingly. Until we can scavenge for food and supplies, we don’t have any extra food with us.”

Beth was slightly excited when she saw the food and water. One had to know that the bottle of water and piece of bread alone would cause a big commotion outside; people would even kill for it. With food and water, if Rhodes were willing, he could easily find a few women to have sex with him.

In the face of survival, what was morality? Was morality more important than life itself?


Beth’s hands trembled slightly as she held the bottle of water and the piece of bread. Based on what she could tell from his backpack, they only had enough supplies to last them for two days. Did this mean they would have to leave in two days?

Rhodes said a few more words to Beth before he left.

Beth wanted to sleep in the room, but Rhodes rejected her. He would definitely do something he could not undo if she had slept in the same room with him! Therefore, he resolutely closed the door in her face.

After that, he fed Julie some ham and sausages he had found earlier, ate some bread, and fell asleep.

In this relatively safe room on the second floor, it did not take long before Rhodes fell asleep. He held Julie in his arms as he slept, feeling her smooth and delicate skin. He even had a beautiful dream. In his dream, Julie had regained her senses and… bit him in various ways. He kept getting stronger and more powerful. However… he kept having a nagging feeling that he had forgotten something.

… 

When the morning sunlight streamed into the room, Rhodes, who had slept the entire night with Julie in his arms, gradually woke up.

Rhodes shook his head and sat up. He muttered to himself, “36D. As expected of 36D.”

Julie’s body felt extremely comfortable to the touch. It felt as though he was holding a smooth but pliable jade.

Although he had a good night’s sleep with Julie, it was not without some side effects. He looked down at the wet patch on his shorts and laughed at himself.

Rhodes got out of bed and looked into the mirror. “Now that I’m five times faster and stronger than an ordinary person, my physique has changed as well.” His body was now muscular but not overly so. It was well proportioned. Especially his abdominal muscles, V lines, and his waist. He really could not believe his figure would become so good.

After that, he took off his shorts and cleaned them.

When he was done, he checked the supplies in the backpack. He looked at the food and water he had left and estimated that it could last him a month. Although the amount was not bad, he had to be prepared.

Moreover, this place was still in the vicinity of the university. When resources on campus dried up, it was inevitable that those who had taken shelter on campus would come out to scavenge for supplies. There were only so many places around campus that they could go to. At that time, this place would no longer be safe.

In any case, his strength, speed, physique, and spirit were five times better than ordinary people. Those bumbling students would not be a match for him.

At this moment, food and water were not a problem. What was more important was energy crystals. The energy crystals he had obtained yesterday were almost gone. He needed to go out to get more energy crystals.

After he put the things he needed together, he used the bedsheet to bind Julie’s hands and feet. He said to her, “Julie, stay in the room. Don’t move around. I’m going out to get more energy crystals so you can eat your fill.”

When Rhodes was about to leave the room, he recalled that he had been a special ability yesterday. He had acquired it after being repeatedly bitten. The system had called the ability Insight. However, he had no idea what its use was.


Since his spirit points were rather high, five times higher than ordinary people, he thought it would be fine if he tried to use the power once. It should not drain too much of his spiritual energy.

He focused attention, trying to activate the ability. After a while, he felt a slight stirring in his mind. Soon after, he felt as though a cool breeze was blowing against his eyes. Subsequently, he felt as though there was now a layer of indescribable power covering his eyes. The world in front of him had suddenly changed. 

When he looked out the window, he could clearly see the streets in the distance. He could even see in detail the terrible appearances of the zombies shuffling around on the street. Apart from that, he could tell in just an instant there were more than thirty zombies in the vicinity. There were even more zombies in the distance.

How strange! All of them were heading in the same direction: Rhodes and Julie’s university.

Based on the current situation, if the people on campus were not prepared, it was only a matter of time before the campus would be overrun by zombies.

Rhodes continued his observation. After a while, he discovered that if he looked at a zombie for a period of time, he could see information about the zombie he was looking at. At this time, the zombies he saw were low-level zombies that were slow and were only driven by their instincts.

After a while, he was alarmed when he saw two zombies that were different from the others. Strangely, the two zombies were not wearing any clothes. They moved swiftly and differently from the low-level zombies, but one of the things that caught his attention was the word ‘Level One’ above their heads! Apart from that, he could see a faint red dot on their foreheads. Clearly, these two zombies had level-one energy crystals in their brains!

With this, Rhodes had a grasp of his ability, Insight. Apart from better vision, he could accurately determine details and information about most things.

Since he had just received this ability, there might be a chance that the ability would level up over time. At that time, the ability would probably improve.

As he looked at the two zombies with a faint red dot on their foreheads and flashing ‘Level One’ above their heads, his grip on his knife tightened and killing intent flashed in his eyes.
