Chapter 7: Spiking the Drink
But the system only gave him seven days.
Seven days?
Not even enough time to make her his girlfriend, how could he make her willingly accompany him to the hotel?
Moreover, Bruce Roberts' hidden attribute was the villain, while Cynthia Sanchez's hidden attribute was the female lead.
The difficulty of wooing the female lead as a villain would increase exponentially.
Without resorting to some means, how could he win her over?
So, Bruce Roberts had no choice but to resort to this plan.
To be honest, this was the first time Bruce Roberts had done something illegal like this, and he felt somewhat uncertain.
Because if the countdown from the system was fake, then after his malicious intentions towards Cynthia Sanchez tonight, the end of the world wouldn't come.
In that case, he would likely be arrested by the police within two days, and he might never turn his life around.
But Bruce Roberts decided to take the gamble.
After witnessing the absurdities of time travel and the system, the end of the world that the system mentioned was likely to be real.
So...
Rhine Hotel, 8th floor.
This was where Bruce Roberts stored his supplies and weapons.
It was very close to the school, less than 500 meters away in total!
In ordinary hotels, people wouldn't be allowed to store goods.
But in this world, as long as you had money.
Not to mention storing goods in hotel rooms, even if you turned the hotel lobby into an outhouse, no one would stop you.
So, for convenience, Bruce Roberts turned the first few rooms here into his temporary base.
At this moment, Elbert and Cedric were staying in room 8006.
Zara was thrown into room 8007 opposite!
And Bruce Roberts brought Cynthia Sanchez to room 8008!
Bruce Roberts didn't spike the drinks in the wine, instead, he had Elbert spike the juice.
It wasn't some powerful drug, just a regular sleeping pill.
The real potent drug was in the bottle of water Cynthia Sanchez drank.
Originally, Bruce Roberts had intended to incapacitate everyone, anyway, according to the countdown from the system, the world would end tomorrow morning at nine o'clock.When the time comes, let the flood rage?
But the effect of the drug Elbert administered seemed to be a bit lacking.
They remained somewhat coherent until they got into the car.
Fortunately, the final result was still passable.
Take now for example!
The unique scent of the girl entered Bruce Roberts' nostrils, causing him to lose control a bit.
Looking at the innocent and lovely girl lying on the bed with closed eyes, Bruce Roberts took a deep breath!
"Cynthia Sanchez, although we have no grievances, for a better tomorrow, I can only apologize to you......"
With that, Bruce Roberts closed the door and walked towards Cynthia Sanchez with a contented mood!
"Darling, are you asleep?"
"Darling, why aren't you answering the phone?"
"Darling..."
While Bruce Roberts was bringing Cynthia Sanchez to the hotel, on the other side, in room 502 of the university dormitory for male students.
A handsome young man was hiding under the covers, constantly sending messages to his girlfriend.
This young man's name was Jesse Thompson, Zara's supposed boyfriend.
Before the rebirth of Jesse Thompson in the future, he was still the loyal dog deeply in love with Zara.
Several messages were sent out, but there was no response, like throwing a stone into the sea, with no feedback at all.
Jesse Thompson was starting to feel anxious.
He was already feeling a bit sleepy, but now he was instantly wide awake.
It wasn't clear how much time had passed until Zara finally replied.
"I'm really tired today, let's talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."
With that, there was no more movement from Zara's end.
In fact, Zara was truly exhausted.
Bruce Roberts hadn't informed her in advance about spiking the juice, so she was also affected.
She and a few other girls had drunk more wine, so the dose of sleeping pills they ingested was not as high as Cynthia Sanchez's.
So, on this night, apart from Bruce Roberts and Cynthia Sanchez, everyone else fell into dreams.
Jesse Thompson, upon receiving Zara's message, also went to sleep contentedly.
The next morning, at seven o'clock.The weather was clear, the sun shining brightly.
The campus in the morning was beautiful, quiet, and lively. Every morning here was a new hope born.
However...
"Kill, kill, kill, I'll kill all you monsters!"
The sudden voice echoed throughout dormitory 502!
Jesse Thompson, who was sleeping on the top bunk, sat up abruptly, his face filled with endless killing intent.
After a moment, he looked around in confusion, a familiar feeling washing over him.
The killing intent in his eyes gradually dissipated.
"Jesse Thompson, what are you doing?"
"Are you confused from sleep?"
"Why are you shouting so early in the morning, can't you let me sleep?"
There were six people living in this dormitory.
Upon hearing Jesse Thompson's sudden roar, complaints arose from the others.
But Jesse Thompson ignored everyone's complaints, his face filled with terror as he looked at his hands.
After a moment, he pinched his thigh!
It hurt.
Subconsciously, he grabbed his phone from beside him.
He lit up the screen, and the date displayed was September 20, 2022, 7:01 in the morning.
"I've been reborn? Reborn before the apocalypse??" Jesse Thompson, realizing his rebirth, was ecstatic at first, but then a strong sense of crisis gripped his heart.
September 20, 2022, 9:00 in the morning.
The Earth suddenly opened up some spatial rifts!
Sinister insects, ferocious beasts, voracious ogres, and some strange, unfamiliar life forms!
Countless unprecedented monsters arrived on this planet.
Even the cowardly ants, cockroaches, and grasshoppers, which could easily be crushed by humans, were undergoing mutations!
Their bodies expanded, with even tiny mosquitoes growing to the size of an adult's arm. With a simple bloodsuck, humans would turn into dry corpses.
For a moment, the entire planet became a vast slaughterhouse.
Civilization collapsed, and humanity's hearts were scattered.The age of technology arrived, and humanity was bound by books and laws, becoming civilized people dressed in fine clothes, adhering to filial piety, friendship, and love.
But when the apocalypse came, the veneer of civilization was destroyed, and humanity, freed from constraints, became no longer friendly or benevolent.
Instead, in order to survive, spouses betrayed each other, families turned against each other, and patricide and matricide became commonplace.
For a piece of moldy bread, once-loving spouses might turn against each other. A loving father, driven by hunger, might even cook and consume his own child.
A single weapon for self-defense might trigger fratricidal conflicts. Selfishness, competition, survival of the fittest, might makes right—these became the fundamentals for surviving in this world.
In the blink of an eye, all the rules of the world were rewritten.
Some people lived but were worse off than dead.
Some people died, but...
Now, there were less than two hours left until the apocalypse arrived?
At the thought of this, Jesse Thompson shuddered and quickly put on his clothes.
His dorm mate who lived in the bunk opposite him, named Dash.
Seeing Jesse Thompson getting up, Dash looked puzzled.
"Jesse Thompson? Why are you up so early? Are you going to attend the early morning self-study?"
Early morning self-study?
Hah! An ancient term.
As he hurriedly dressed, memories flooded Jesse Thompson's mind as he looked at Dash.
"You are... Dash?"
Dash: "....."
"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me? Have you really slept through it all?"
