Chapter 5, Blood Moon

With a smile, he crushed a little white mouse and walked towards her step by step

But why is this person so certain? It is as if he is strolling leisurely; does he not fear the zombies? Who exactly is so formidable?

Xu Luo maintained a certain distance, wearing a cold smile on his face, yet his heart was far from calm

Although Ma Gui was somewhat reluctant, he ultimately accepted it out of necessity

Walking very slowly

Why can't I obtain special powers? Am I truly a forsaken child of heaven? Even if I were to be reborn, would I only be able to survive in a state of mere existence?

Xia Yujia remained motionless, maintaining her stance with the fire axe in hand, and she did not feel fatigued

eleven fifty-nine and thirty seconds

Nothing has happened yet

He rushed forward, picked up the fire axe, and swung it at the second zombie

Ten thirty

At the same time, imagining oneself wielding a fire axe, chopping down zombies.

... ...

Nothing happened

Xu Luo's eyes were filled with joy

Five seconds

Here, there are people, come up quickly

Her gaze was bright and focused, with only that iron gate in her eyes

He felt disheartened, not even noticing that the blood moon had already vanished, disappearing into the sky, hidden behind thick clouds

Xia Yujia said nothing, nor did she nod; she simply gazed at Xu Luo, her eyes as bright as the full moon.

A shadow walks among the zombies, its steps ethereal

Hello!

One second

However, strangely, she did not feel afraid

The iron door opened, and she stepped into the darkness, the iron door was heavily shut, leaving only a loud "bang" for Xia Yujia.

Xu Luo's mind was buzzing, and he did not hear the crisp sound of metal striking metal

However, strangely, apart from that one instance of knocking, the teaching building has remained very quiet, as if it has become a place forgotten by both humans and zombies.

What reassured him the most was that none of the anticipated changes occurred

Ma Gui was running desperately, feeling very fortunate as a substitute player for the school basketball team

Xu Luomai walked to the large iron gate, pulled out the slightly bent iron pipe, and turned back to say: "Wait for me here. If I do not return in half an hour, you must survive on your own."

For these zombies, this road is hell

Do not leave yet

Twelve o'clock sharp

When the apocalypse arrived, all four individuals in Ma Gui's dormitory rushed out of the dormitory building to escape at the first opportunity

The rooftop has become dim.

There are already five corpses on the rooftop, and Xia Yujia can see more clearly the ugly and terrifying face of the first corpse that appeared on the rooftop

Timid individuals often have a keener sense than others of what constitutes a safe choice

Xia Yujia felt a slight pain in her shoulder, which distracted her somewhat, but Xu Luo said expressionlessly: "Wait a moment, don't rush."

This thought instantly took root in his mind, and after glancing at it twice, he immediately made a decision and plunged into the darkness.

He could clearly feel that he had been waiting for that moment for a lifetime

He is not concerned about the blood of zombies, as it has been proven in later generations that zombie blood is non-toxic

The sound of "he he" began to grow excited, like a passionate aria drifting towards the teaching building

After the last zombie's head was finally severed with two axe strikes, Xu Luo finally stopped. The fire axe fell powerless from his hand onto the ground

She remained completely unaware, merely staring blankly at her own hands in disbelief

Thus, the other three decided to send the most timid and fastest horse, Ma Gui, to scout ahead

Zombie heads rolled across the red surface of the rooftop

One ultimately cannot become a true strong individual

The five corpses seemed to be attracted by the suddenly appearing "fireworks," coming to a standstill

After crushing the last little white mouse in the cage, he discarded the cage and looked up at the bright moon in the sky; the moon remained unchanged.

Xu Luo placed one hand on her shoulder, gently patting it with a soft touch. The hand was very dry, and a warmth spread from her shoulder throughout her entire body, causing her tense legs to relax.

His curiosity compelled him to turn his head, and he saw that the man had already confronted five zombies. He took a small white mouse that was squeaking loudly from the cage and squeezed it fiercely.

The moon in the sky is still a pale red, and Xu Luo's heart beats rapidly. In her hand, she feels that Xia Yujia is eager to try.

Ma Gui, however, suddenly felt unable to run any longer, his sweat had completely soaked through his vest

However, the entire campus is in a state of chaos

A zombie emerged from the darkness and stepped onto the rooftop

Xu Luo felt very calm; everything was under his control, and any changes at present were developing in a favorable direction

In that moment, she did not hesitate; with a scream, she rushed forward and swung the axe down. She had been prepared for this strike long in advance

What time is it

Although she had practiced Taekwondo, it was entirely different from swinging an axe to chop zombies. Strangely, however, her heart was not anxious; it was solely focused.

3 seconds, 2 seconds

Still not speaking

Tears uncontrollably streamed from her eyes, and Xia Yujia continued to swing the axe as if she had gone mad

His hand was steady, and the force behind the axe was substantial, causing the zombie's head to fall with a single strike, while Xu Luo's heart raced once again.

A look of surprise appeared on his face

9:10

A shadow suddenly appeared at the iron gate, followed by the voice of a man.

Both hands gripped the fire axe tightly, very tightly, as if wanting the axe to merge with their hands

A miracle suddenly occurred, the moon abruptly turned blood red, as if it had been soaked in blood, which was somewhat eerie

ten seconds

This is true

The heart suddenly began to beat rapidly

In that moment, this image was deeply etched into Ma Gui's mind, lingering and refusing to fade away

The rooftop is blood red, the zombies are also blood red, and Xu Luo's eyes are a shade of blood red as well

Five minutes remaining

The number of white mice in the cage is decreasing, and more than 20 zombies have been lured by him, beginning to move towards the teaching building, attracted by the fresh mouse blood

She waited for the iron gate to be opened, and even more so for Xu Luo to appear, her mind only pondering what Xu Luo would say after opening the iron gate

What does it mean to him

A cold voice echoed in my ear: "Run far away, I will help you draw the zombies away"

In the span of four hours, the two individuals exchanged only these dialogues; waiting constituted their entirety.

It seems that luck has run out now, and his stamina is depleted, while five zombies are slowly moving towards him from behind, determined not to give up

The closer it gets to twelve o'clock, the more invigorated he feels

After hiding and seeking refuge for a period of time, in their state of anxiety, they decided to seek support, yet they were unaware of the direction to take

When the zombie's head was finally severed by Xia Yujia, Xu Luo could see a flame emerge from her hand, which then quickly vanished

Xia Yujia was also taken aback by the sudden turn of events, the fire axe clattering to the rooftop with a sound, her face still marked with tear stains

Indeed, the speculation was correct, and I bet on it accurately

Just held the fire axe tighter.

Blood splattered out, staining her beautiful face, adding a touch of allure, yet Xia Yujia remained unfazed, continuing without pause

Now he can no longer distinguish the path and is running straight towards the teaching building

They can hear the continuous piercing cries from the beginning to the occasional scream now, and even the iron door that Xu Luo had tightly secured was knocked on an hour ago

What time is it now

Now, we are one family

So it turns out to be a living person

Entering the teaching building, he bent down to pick up the two cages of white mice that had been prepared long ago, and continued to take out one to crush. He had prepared two cages of white mice on each floor to ensure that these zombies could continuously make their way to the rooftop

What power can one obtain for oneself

Divine being, should I call everyone to meet with this person

The gaze gradually dimmed as it lunged towards the fourth zombie

It seems that it does not want to see Xu Luo's dejected appearance now

You will definitely come back, without a doubt

Due to her concentration, she was even unaware that the bright moon above her head was gradually becoming dimmer

Ma Gui's calves trembled, and as he inwardly cried out in despair, the person had already walked up to him and brushed past him.

Xu Luo stared at Xia Yujia intently and shouted, "Cut off his head, otherwise the zombie won't die."

Xu Luo did not say a single word

Once, twice...

There is blood in the air, like fireworks suddenly blooming.

Xu Luo shouted again, this time with a clear intention to kill.

At that moment, Ma Gui noticed someone walking out of the teaching building, carrying three cages of white mice, approaching him with a scent reminiscent of a zombie.

Xu Luo's hand stayed on her shoulder, motionless. She suddenly remembered what Xu Luo had said to her in the laboratory.

A blank slate.

He glanced at Xia Yujia, who remained motionless and dazed. Xu Luo looked up at the sky, the blood moon was somewhat blinding

Why?

The first zombie left a bloodstain only five meters away from the last remaining white mouse.

Summer Yu Jia suddenly heard Xu Luo's gentle voice in her ear.

The heavy fire axe fell, cleaving off half of the zombie's shoulder, yet the zombie continued to move

A touch of pale pink appeared in the moon.

Twenty seconds, the second zombie moved to the rooftop, reflecting the pale red moonlight on its body.

Although he cannot become a key player and is unable to play, the regular training has enabled him to run swiftly and evade the encirclement of zombies

Xu Luo's eyeballs remained still, staring at her changes.

Xu Luo smiled and her expression was resolute.

He knew that zombies were not interested in dead white mice, but the smell of blood could attract them step by step towards the future he had drawn for them.

Go ahead

Even though he is already aware of future developments, he still cannot remain calm before the arrival of critical moments

Taking three steps to extract a small white mouse and crush it, until reaching her, the last small white mouse was crushed, and after throwing away the iron cage along with the small white mouse, I clapped my hands

He turned his gaze towards the third zombie, let out a fierce shout, and swung down the axe

Under his relentless hacking with the fire axe, the blade began to warp, and the number of zombies on the rooftop decreased significantly

The iron door was opened with a clang, and Xia Yujia's hands, gripping the fire axe tightly, tensed up as Xu Luo appeared before her, wearing a smile that brought her a sense of calm.

Ma Gui shivered, instantly becoming alert, and took off running in another direction. After running a considerable distance, he ultimately could not resist the urge to look back.

Has it arrived at 11:30
