Zane knew enough about how the undead worked to easily evade the majority of the horde, who chased after Ryan and his group because they were the larger group of living beings. Because of this, he led Elena and Olivia out of the school building and into the yard.
The campus was set up in several distinctive buildings that required one to exit into the outside in order to enter the others. The main building of which had the most floors, with that being three, while the others only had one or two, depending on their purpose.
Of course, the outside was just as unsafe as the inside. Since the gates of the school were wide open, all kinds of undead had crawled their way into the campus and were wandering about aimlessly and mindlessly.
Zane realized that since Elena and Olivia were sticking to him, he would have to stealthily avoid detection from the undead if he wanted to make it to the next building in one piece. Thus he raised slowly made his way through the gap between the main building he had just exited, and the one he wanted to enter which housed the shop classes such as woodworking and metalworking.
Both of which would be instrumental to his plans to survive early on.
Elena and Olivia followed Zane's exact movements, and somehow or another the trio made their way into the next building. Where they found that, like the one they had just left, it was swarming with undead. Because of this, Zane pulled out the combat knife which was sheathed on his gun belt, and held it firmly in hand, prepared to deal a lethal blow to any undead he came across.

Thus, he kindly offered a share of rations to these students, who were clearly both hungry and thirsty.
"Well, that sounds like you all went through some serious shit. Have some chips and soda... It's not much, but it's all that we currently have to offer. At least until our scouts report back with some scavenged some food from the cafeteria..."
Although the gym teacher was friendly to Ryan and his group, Ryan was far from satisfied. The man had clearly taken control of the situation here in the gymnasium, meaning unless Ryan somehow got rid of him, he would lose all authority over his little gang, and the perks that came with it. Thus, Ryan tried his best to think of a scheme to get this man out of his way.
"You said you sent scouts to the Cafeteria? That place is swarming with those monsters... There's no way they would have made it back alive...."
This comment caused the gym teacher to frown... He had sent the most capable staff members he had available to go fetch some supplies from the main building, but if the situation was as dire as this student said it was, then they were likely already dead.
The man grimace when he thought of this, not wanting to imagine what horrors had befallen his coworkers. Still, it was better for the staff to die in a vain attempt to gain supplies, then the students under his protection, and thus the man sighed in relief before letting a dangerous viper enter his territory, completely unaware of the threat that Ryan posed to him.
"I'll have to send someone to confirm what you said.... In the mean time you kids make yourselves comfortable with the others. You have been through a lot, and I can't imagine what you are all feeling right now..."
With that said, the Gym teacher walked off, concerned about his fellow co-workers, and the rapidly dwindling supplies that were the only lifeline of himself and, more importantly, his students. He had no idea that he had just allowed a would be usurper into his sanctuary, one that intended to get rid of him by any means necessary.
