Chapter 34: Misunderstood
The sunroof of the pickup truck slowly opened, and a man wearing a police helmet emerged from inside. The man took out a pair of binoculars and surveyed the surroundings of the school, then spoke a few words to someone inside the vehicle before sitting back down.
The modified pickup and off-road vehicle turned around and arrogantly drove off again. Alex controlled the three-eyed crow to follow the two modified vehicles for a while. Just as the crow's detection range reached its limit, the vehicles stopped in front of a convenience store. Five men armed with machetes and one with a rifle got out of the cars and efficiently killed a few zombies that lunged at them, like slicing through vegetables.
The man with the rifle was on guard while the other five were responsible for moving supplies from the convenience store. Their coordination was extremely skilled, and they quickly loaded the items they wanted, then got back into the modified vehicles and drove away.
Watching the dust trail left by the departing vehicles, Alex slightly furrowed his brow. These people seemed well-organized, and they appeared to be very interested in the school. However, for some reason, they ultimately did not enter.
Since the City of Darkness had expanded by half after its upgrade, its northernmost end was now adjacent to the girls' dormitory. Alex's current position was right at the northernmost wall of the City of Darkness.
Thus, Alex could clearly hear the shouting coming from the direction of the teachers' dormitory. "Master! Listen! It sounds like the beautiful professor from the Economics Department!" The five women who were cooking and studying cuisine on the open ground also noticed the cry for help. Although the girls' dormitory blocked their view and they couldn't see the situation at the teachers' dormitory, just by the sound, Li Wan'ning and the others guessed it was the beautiful professor from the Economics Department.
"Is that woman still not dead?" Shen Tingting said with disdain. "It really sounds like Professor Lu Yurou! Is she asking for help?! Let's go save her!" Myra, pushing her glasses up, said excitedly. Lu Yurou was her idol.
"Why save her? Don't you know, she was actually in a room with the vice-chancellor, that old man!" Shen Tingting said with contempt: "Why save such a person? Disgusting!"
"Are you talking about Vice Chancellor Lu? The one who looks very fierce?" Tang Jingyan asked curiously.
"Yes! That old man, always looking grumpy, as if everyone owes him millions. To think that Lu Yurou got involved with him! He's old enough to be her father!" Shen Tingting stuck out her tongue.
"Vice Chancellor Lu is actually her father! Although Professor Lu Yurou never mentions it, I know because my father is a director at the school board, and he told me about it," Tang Jingyan said with a smile. "You've misunderstood Professor Yurou; she's a good woman. She's very stubborn too. She's 33 and still refuses to find a boyfriend, which really frustrates Vice Chancellor Lu."
