Chapter 39: Food and toys

The bullet shot through the window and into the night sky. A huge gun sound reverberated through the building.

After the gunshot, there was a weird momentary silence in the school.

After which, one could hear the unique zombie roar!

This place was just a few hundred meters from the supermarket and there were thousands of zombies gathered there.

Although they weren’t as fast as evolved zombies but this distance would be covered in less than a minute. In other words, these people had less than a minute to escape!

Not to mention the students that didn’t know how to fire their guns, even a proper army would get scattered when they fought against thousands of zombies.

Normal zombies seemed weak but once they formed into scale, even six star experts like Ye Zhongming in his last life would have to avoid them.

“Damn you!”

Brother Five hollered and wanted to shoot at Ye Zhongming but he had already dragged Mo Ye back into the room. The two of them and the dog broke a window and jumped down.

Ye Zhongming and Mo Ye leaving drew open the curtains for the rest of the people to flee.

Over ten hours had passed since the apocalypse began and these people had seen too many scenes of zombies eating people. As the zombies got close, they couldn’t care about anything else.

Most of them ran towards the stairs. Everyone was clear that if they didn’t run out of the building before the zombies came, they were left with death.

The corridor wasn’t too wide so they were all squeezing together. Brother Five and his men were amongst them. They thought that they wanted to use their threat to leave first but fear had exceeded the terror that they gave. Er Peng and the others kicked a student but the others forced them two aside. They wanted to hit another student but the gentle student actually bit his arm. His gaze sent a clear message-- Don’t block me or we will die together.

Brother Five, Er Peng and the others realised that if they continued to threaten them, those fleeing students might actually eat them up.

The stairs were too narrow and there were too many people. They squeezed and didn’t move much as they started to shout at one another.

Brother Five pushed those in front of him but there was nothing he could do. He got anxious and he knew that if they delayed more here they wouldn’t be able to get out.

“Er Peng, Gang Zi, Ah Kun! Follow me!”

His three men were sweating heavily. When they heard their boss shout, they immediately followed.

The restriction of moving backwards was much lesser and the place they gave up was immediately filled up.

“Jump!”

The few of them started to smash the windows and they didn’t bother about the remaining bits of glass and just jumped off.

Many people chose to do the same thing and they did it more quicker than them. For example the nasal voice guy. After Ye Zhongming fired he ran backward and fled from the room that he entered.

There was also Liang Chuyin. This woman had some skill in fleeing. She jumped right down without even heading towards the stairs, allowing her to get out right away. Her direction was very certain too... Towards Ye Zhongming.

After seeing them jump out the window, the students at the stairs were enlightened. Those at the back all came to the windows to jump. Three meter height wasn’t much of an obstacle to 20 year old people.

At this time, those closer zombies were already downstairs. Those unlucky students were pounced onto right away when they jumped down. As they screamed, half their faces were eaten up. They struggled and wanted to flee but their legs were grabbed and a few toes were bitten off.

The killing started at that moment. The few who were first out ran out of the place. They were strong males but they bumped right into two zombies. They blocked half of the entrance. A student tried to get across but he felt someone push him. He lost balance and fell into the arms of one of the zombies.

Facing food that gave itself up, the zombies didn’t hold back and it bit his shoulder. Fresh blood and flesh were sent into its stomach and the taste made it nod its head in excitement.

The other zombie was attracted by the smell and started to chew on his back. That guy cried out so much that he was losing his voice. He turned around and saw his best friend fleeing from the path that the zombie freed up, creating the best chance for him to leave.

When he was about to die, the guy shouted the most vicious curses at that fleeing body.

Peng!

Another gun shot made many bodies shake.

The one who shot was a guy who ran out of the building. He got anxious when he saw the zombies run over and just fired. But after the shooting, a girl near him fell and her back was red.

That gun didn’t hit a zombie, it directly hit a girl in front of him!

The crowd became even more chaotic because of that shot. Students who were fleeing in one direction started to lose their target and they ran in all directions.

Cries and screams spread out and amongst them were the excited shouts of the zombies. Each shout meant that one life had disappeared.

“Follow me, follow me, don’t run!”

Teacher Park shouted out loud but very few students could hear her. Her fringe was drenched and they were stuck on her bright forehead and the side of her face. Her eyes were filled with despair.

Many familiar faces fell, struggled, cried, and died in front of her. They were covered in the dark clouds of death but there was nothing she could do.

A person knocked into her and when she turned back, that person looked familiar. It was the person called Officer Mo.

“Follow me!”

A shout shocked her back to her senses and she realised that she was dragged towards a corner where there were two people.

“You?!”

Hiding behind a bench was Ye Zhongming. After seeing him, she pounced over. n0vElUSB.C0m

“It is because of you! You jerk, they died because of you!”

After fleeing, Ye Zhongming didn’t leave with Mo Ye and instead hid near this stone bench. Mo Ye didn’t understand why they were hiding so close.

She saw Brother Five and the nasal voice guy leave and also saw Liang Chuyin run over. She headed over in glee. She saw the students flee and kill one another by accident. She saw them betray one another. This made her thoughts of helping them dim down.

Until now that female teacher was shouting but not only did people not hear her, she was attracting many zombies. Mo Ye couldn’t take it and went to pull her over.

Ye Zhongming definitely wouldn’t let such a weak girl pounce on him. He reached out and pressed on her long neck.

“You are living because of me! Do you think your cowardice friends and colleagues can help you? Without me, you will end up as their toys. Suicide is your best outcome. When they cannot find food, you will be their dinner!”

Ye Zhongming pushed her onto the bench. He didn’t use much strength but it was enough for her to lose mobility for a few seconds.

“Of course, because you are beautiful, they will play with you for the longest time. You will be the last food for them so congratulations.”

“You are talking nonsense!” Teacher Park wanted to pounce over but Liang Chuyin pushed her onto the bench. She wanted to struggle but Mo Ye stopped her.

“He is right, do you realise that your colleagues and students are all ignoring you?”

Mo Ye said to Teacher Park with a sad voice, “You must be smart to be a teacher. Think back and you should be clear.”

Teacher Park was stunned and those scenes appeared in her mind... These people heard her shouts, they did run towards her, but then, they all ran away, they...

Thinking about it made her face turn whiter and whiter. She finally understood that those people she tried to save did hear her. They did another analysis-- shout, attract the zombies and then we can escape.

They abandoned her.

Teacher Park couldn’t take it and she cried out loud.

“Shut up!” Ye Zhongming shouted and focused in one place.

“I am going there. Make your choice. Follow me or leave.” Ye Zhongming started to run. Mo Ye and the other two were stunned and looked toward where the guy pointed at.
