Chapter 1: Betrayal

Chapter 1: Betrayal

"Our food and water can last at most another week!"

In a warehouse of a school in Jiangcheng City, a group of people gathered together, all with somber expressions.

Among them, an older man wearing gold-framed glasses continued to speak:

"To ensure everyone's survival, we must send someone out to search for food and water!" The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

"So, the main purpose of calling this meeting today is to select someone for this task..."

Everyone exchanged glances, their faces filled with heaviness and fear.

The middle-aged man was the school's guidance director.

The others were students who had survived in the school.

"But teacher... outside are all zombies! Going out is like walking into death!" a petite and cute girl student said softly, her voice tender and pitiable.

"Are we just going to wait here for death? I support Mr. Terry's proposal!" A handsome boy in sportswear stood up and spoke assertively.

This boy, named Digby, was a well-known bully in the school, and everyone used to be afraid of him.

"Digby is right, I also agree with Mr. Terry's proposal!" A skinny boy looked at Digby appeasingly, in agreement.

Everyone present knew that Digby's family was not only wealthy but also had an uncle who was a general in the military. In these end times, perhaps the only ones who could save them were the military.

But now?

These ungrateful wretches were complaining about his eating habits, wanting him to go to his death!

Indeed, the human heart can be more terrifying than zombies!

After so many days of living together, Alex had finally seen through the wickedness of the human heart.

If given another chance by fate, he would definitely not show mercy to anyone again!

"Cough, cough!"

Terry coughed lightly, speaking with authority, "Since most people agree with Digby's suggestion, then let Alex go out to find food and water! Alex, do you have any objections?"

After speaking, Terry stared at Alex with an air of unchallengeable authority. As the school's guidance director, he was used to wielding power among the students. In such a small group, he naturally assumed he should be the ruler.

No one should defy his will!

"But... the warehouse and the food inside originally belonged to Alex... If it weren't for Alex taking us in, we would probably have become zombie food by now..." Myra, a frail and cute girl, muttered somewhat discontentedly. She didn't dare to speak loudly, as she too wanted to survive and not be cast out to die by the group.

"Hmph! If you're not satisfied, you can go out with him!" Darlene said coldly, "Keeping a useless woman like you around is just a waste of food!"

"Then why don't you go out and find food yourselves? Digby, you're so capable, why don't you go?" A burly boy who hadn't taken a stance before stood up and retorted, "Alex saved us, and now we are going to drive him away. Isn't that inhumane? How are we any different from villains by doing this?"

"We are voting now, the minority must follow the majority, do you understand? If you have an objection, you can go out with him too!" Digby dismissed him scornfully.

If heaven were to grant him another chance to choose, he would definitely not show mercy to anyone again!

"Cough, cough!"

Terry coughed lightly, speaking with authority,
