Chapter 91 - I bet 20 yuan that I won't mutate (2)
The boy looked young and was bright as the sun. His eyes were bright and lively. He was like a fearless baby animal. Even though he had just narrowly escaped from the zombies and had almost fallen off the pipe, he still had a pretty good metal outlook. He was even able to think about special abilities.
Indeed, a person who could give a concert to zombies would be brave enough and have nerves of steel.
Lu Xingchi only said, "You said that the cafeteria is safe? Let's go to the cafeteria before talking."
"Yeah, the cafeteria is behind these buildings." The boy led them to the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was a three-story building. Its square footage was quite big, and it had a sliding metal gate.
The reason behind the Shui University's cafeteria's sliding metal gate was mentioned in the novel. It was related to Shui University's famous annual food festival. The place would get packed with visitors on that day of the year.
In Shui University's old campus, the largest cafeteria on the campus had been built decades ago. The first floor of the cafeteria had one wall of glass windows. On the day of the festival, people would flock here, and there would inevitably be people that went through the windows instead of the doors and broke the glass windows. Not only was replacing the broken glass expensive, the broken glass itself was a hazard.
And so, when the cafeteria was built in the new campus, there were no windows on the first floor. In addition to the electrical lights, the architect cleverly designed for the natural light from the building's skylights to be reflected downstairs. The architect had won an award for this design.
Due to the cafeteria's sturdiness, the college students here jokingly referred to the cafeteria as a fortress. As a result, this place really became a fortress to take shelter from zombies.
The cafeteria's gate wasn't fully closed. There was a tall boy guarding the entrance and letting in the students who had fled to here.
From far away, the boy saw Bei Nuan and the others. He did his best to wave at them.
Bei Nuan and the others hastily rushed over.
After they went through the gate, the boy sighed in relief, closed the metal gate, and gave a friendly punch to the rooftop boy.
"Tang Tang, you're amazing. I heard that song, and I knew it was you. So many people ran over here because of your singing."
Tang Tang? Isn't that the person Jiang Fei was looking for?
"Your name is Tang Tang. Is your dad's name Tang Zheng?" Jiang Fei asked.
Tang Tang nodded. "That's my dad's name. May I ask who you are?"
"I'm your dad's…" Jiang Fei glanced at the college student next to Tang Tang. "... coworker."
Hearing the special tone he used when saying "coworker", Tang Tang knew right away that this man was his dad's cellmate and quickly asked, "Where's my dad?"
Jiang Fei glanced at him. "Go in and talk."
There were already many people in the cafeteria, and they all looked to be students of Shui University. Although there were a lot of people, it looked very orderly. People were resting in small groups.
Just as Bei Nuan and the others were about to go in further, the boy that had been guarding the door stopped them.
"Sorry, we have a set procedure for people that just came in. Newcomers have to be checked for injuries. Those with injuries have to go upstairs for isolation."
Du Ruo raised his hand and showed them the back of his hand. "I have an injury on my hand, and it was made by someone who mutated shortly after."
Lu Xingchi said, "Never mind. We found the person we're looking for. We won't go in."
He asked Tang Tang, "Do you want to stay here or come with us?"
Tang Tang had recently Lu Xingchi's metal ability. He knew that his chances at survival would obviously be higher if he followed them.
Tang Tang answered without hesitation, "I'll go with you guys."
Lu Xingchi slightly smiled, pleased about Tang Tang's decisiveness and straightforwardness.
Bei Nuan knew that Tang Tang was one of the members of the team in the novel. He had finally returned to the team.
Du Ruo suddenly asked Tang Tang, "You called out a girl's name on the rooftop. Yuhan? You told her to flee. Don't you want to bring her along?"
Tang Tang shook his head and calmly answered, "No need. She has a boyfriend."
Everyone else: "..."
