Sandra tried her best to wave her arms to signal for attention and she was already exhausted. Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead and slid down the cheeks of her thin face but she didn’t notice it at all. 

She continued to wave her arms, as this was her and Eileen’s last hope. Without the help of the owner of the armored vehicle, she and Eileen would not survive the day and would have died of thirst and starvation.

With her unremitting efforts, a trace of joy finally flashed across Sandra’s face when she received a response from the owner of the armored vehicle. Sandra was not short-sighted and did not wear glasses but her eyesight was not as good as Crowe’s. Sandra could vaguely see a hand reaching out from the side of the armored vehicle and made a gesture in her direction. It lasted for a few seconds before he withdrew his hand back into the vehicle. Although it wasn’t clear, the reply should be a yes, right?

Sandra thought about it, and she waited for a long time, but no one came out of the armored vehicle. The armored vehicle with the outstanding appearance didn’t move at all. This instantly caused the joy in her heart to disappear, it felt as if she had fallen to the bottom of a pit.

Under normal circumstances, which person would take the risk to save a stranger and did not have any acquaintances with them. Although her looks had been sought after by many boys in the past, she has become thin and haggard during the apocalypse. There would not be any sane person who would break through the horde of zombies downstairs just to save her. Undaunted, Sandra immediately left the balcony window, returned to the room, and stayed there. Perhaps it was too early to give up just yet, as the armored vehicle has not left.

Minutes passed. Suddenly, the body of the armored vehicle shook and the roar of the engine was exactly the same as she heard before. Sandra’s heart clenched and this was the moment of truth. Would they come to the rescue, or would they just leave and go somewhere else. Her heart was beating faster than usual. She clenched her fists, and her palms started to sweat uncontrollably.

When she saw the direction of the armored vehicle, Sandra’s eyes widened. The vehicle was moving toward their dormitory building. Her gaze followed the armored vehicle without stopping, moving along with the vehicle. She lowered her head to follow, and even popped out of the window to follow the route of the armored vehicle.

Sandra’s gaze finally stopped at the entrance of her dormitory building. Then, she saw a tall and fit young man walk out and entered the building without any hesitation.

“They… they came to save us…”

Sandra mumbled, but her excitement could not be described with words. The throbbing in her heart could not be hidden no matter how hard she tried. She could not wait to share this good news with Eileen. Sandra quickly turned her head and looked at Eileen who was doing something. Her voice was very soft, but there were strong emotions in her voice.

“Eileen, someone is coming to save us, we…”

Her words suddenly stopped, and Sandra’s expression froze. She quickly supported herself against the wall and staggered back to the bedside by the window.

“E…Eileen?!”

Eileen, who had a head of blue hair and a beautiful face, had closed her eyes at some point in time. She lay on the bed, motionless and silent. This came as a shock to Sandra. She and Eileen were roommates and good friends, and had a close bond. In addition, they relied on each other during this apocalypse. They supported each other, and their relationship took a step forward. They treated each other as family members would.

If Eileen really died, the mental and physical pressure from the past month would explode in an instant, crushing Sandra. Even if Crowe arrived in their room, he would only see two beautiful corpses that were left behind.

Fortunately for Sandra, who was anxious, noticed that Eileen’s chest was still slightly heaving, and her faint breath didn’t disappear like a dead person. She probably fell into a coma from thirst and starvation. After coming to this conclusion, Sandra quietly sighed in relief.

She sat next to Eileen and stared at the wall in front of her, waiting for the people who would enter the building to rescue them. The entire room fell into silence. Only the footsteps of the zombies, which approached and left from time to time, echoed in the corridor.

…

After Crowe left the armored vehicle at the entrance of the female dormitory building, he walked into the building alone. He wasn’t worried at all that the vehicle would be driven away in his absence. That was because the vehicle could only be unlocked and ignited by his fingerprints. No one else could do it. Crowe would like to trust them fully, but one shouldn’t be too careful during an apocalypse

The female dormitory building had the exact same architecture as the male dormitory— it was a six-story building. However, each floor was constructed differently. The first and second floors had quadruple rooms, the third and fourth floors had double rooms, and the fifth and sixth floors were for six students per room.

Based on this distribution, if the female students in these dormitories were turned into zombies, the density of zombies would be the highest on the lower floors, and gradually decrease as they went up the floors. The first and second floor, under normal circumstances, were the most dangerous areas. However, that was only for ordinary people but Crowe was no ordinary person. He held an unusually sharp black alloy blade in his hand, and Crowe slowly walked into the dormitory building.

As he had driven the armored vehicle over, the noise he made attracted the attention of the zombies in the corridor on the first floor. Just as he turned into the corridor from the hall on the first floor, two female zombies slowly moved toward the corridor entrance in front of Crowe.

Their faces were uneven and lacked their original flesh. Their arms and legs were also twisted in a strange way. Their clothes were worn and torn, with many wounds of different sizes. They were all caused by the zombies while they were still alive. One could only imagine how painful it was for them before they died.

At this moment, the two zombies had hideous and abominable faces. Their mouths were wide open, and filthy liquid was dripping out. The moment Crowe appeared, they pounced on him like a wild dog that saw a bone.

However, besides he had all kinds of combating skills, Crowe’s reflexes were also very good. In an instant, he stepped back slightly and turned his body to the side, which caused the two zombies to miss him. Before the zombies turned their backs on him, Crowe moved nimbly and flipped the alloy blade in his hand, before he hacked at the two zombies.

A zombie’s head fell to the ground. Without its head, the zombie fell to one side weakly. The other zombie twisted its body and attacked Crowe again. It met the same fate as its partner as Crowe delivered the same blow and killed it. They were only two zombies without much intelligence, hence there was no pressure on Crowe at all..
