Chapter 006 Cafeteria 2

Several girls in the group huddled together, continuously shedding tears. A few others screamed in fright at the several corpses lying on the ground

A glimmer of cold light flashed in Su Qin's eyes as he stood up and walked straight towards the group of students who were engaged in a heated discussion. Lin Qingyang was taken aback for a moment, but immediately stood up and followed closely behind Su Qin

Su Qin looked into the bowl and found that Lin Qingyang, despite appearing quite thick-skinned, still had a conscience, as he only filled it halfway. Moreover, the bowl he offered her was evidently more full. Su Qin felt a bit complicated inside, but she slowly began to eat.

There are still a few people frantically pressing their phones, but as expected, they should not be receiving any signal at all

There were also people over there who saw Su Qin approaching, gradually falling silent and turning their gaze towards him, except for the girl who was still crying, her head bowed, never lifting it throughout.

Su Qin merely watched coldly, not intending to remind anyone. Just as he finally felt a hint of drowsiness and was about to close his eyes for a moment, a faint smell of decay wafted towards him. Su Qin almost immediately woke up, his gaze quickly scanning the group of students who had finished their meal and were discussing what to do next. His eyes then settled in the far corner, where a girl with long hair was hanging her head, seemingly crying, while several other girls surrounded her, appearing to offer comfort.

Su Qin leaned against the wall, slightly opening his eyes to a narrow slit, watching the leading boy instruct the other boys in the group to disperse and search for food throughout the cafeteria. They piled up whatever they found, but it seemed that the people from the second floor had already searched through everything beforehand. As a result, the food they could find was pitifully scarce, mostly consisting of uncooked vegetables like potatoes and green beans, and they could only find two knives for use in the cafeteria.

She appears to be no more than twenty years old, yet she seems even more composed than him, a thirty-five-year-old veteran, and that composure is not feigned. This girl is not simple. Brother Liu concluded in his mind about Su Qin, then turned to Lin Qingyang: "So you..."

Su Qin began to regret having spoken to him

This is a declarative sentence

A few relatively composed girls were arranged to take the prepared dishes to the kitchen to be heated up

After a while, several female students brought the hot meals over. Lin Qingyang consciously went to the cafeteria to fetch two serving trays. A few of those students displayed obvious dissatisfaction on their faces, yet no one said anything. This was mainly because they were all alumni of the same school; although they did not know each other, it felt awkward to speak up. Moreover, it was Lin Qingyang who had opened the door for them.

Su Qin couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, only to realize that he was surprisingly good-looking. Moreover, compared to others, he appeared much cleaner, and his face did not show the same panic and confusion as the others. This team subtly seemed to be forming around him as the center.

After a while, there suddenly came a knock at the door, accompanied by the sound of someone banging on it

Lin Qingyang was clearly very hungry, finishing his meal in just a few bites, without feeling full at all. Reluctantly putting down the bowl, he sat beside Su Qin, watching her eat very slowly, and for the first time felt a hint of worry about the future

Su Qin remained unresponsive with his eyes closed

Once everyone had left, Su Qin found a spot against the wall to sit down. Leaning against the wall, with a half-smile, he glanced at Lin Qingyang and said, "What, are you not afraid that I might turn into a zombie and eat you?"

After Su Qin finished speaking, he paid no attention to the horrified expressions of the crowd. He wrapped his right hand up again and said to the leading security guard, Liu Ge: "I only need to stay here for one night and will not cause you any trouble. Moreover, even if I were to mutate, it would be very easy for so many of you to deal with just one of me."

It is quite bothersome to hear

Her current condition is indeed not good; her physical strength is inferior even to that of an average man. She can only rely on her skills and determination. She can handle two or three early-stage zombies with ease, but facing four or five becomes quite difficult, and with more than five, she can only run away.

While Su Qin was observing him, Zheng Yi also noticed Su Qin, who was leaning against the wall and seemed to lack presence. However, he quickly shifted his gaze and began to organize the collected supplies with the classmates who were following him.

Su Qin eats very slowly, a "good habit" she developed in her previous life. She chews each bite thoroughly before swallowing, which gives her the illusion of eating a lot and feeling full. Although the space is filled with enough supplies to last her for several years, she still unconsciously maintains the habits from her past life

Thus, Liu Ge and his group returned to the second floor. Before going upstairs, Zhu Cheng shot a fierce glare at Su Qin and then gave him the middle finger. Su Qin could not be bothered to respond to him

The girl who called them over whispered: "Exactly, Brother Liu, there are zombies outside now, so let them stay."

The zombies outside the door gradually lost their patience and slowly began to wander around in search of new prey

There are still half a month left, so there should be no problem. In her previous life, she initially lacked the courage to even face the zombies, yet she managed to survive through sheer stumbling, so in this life, she surely cannot be worse off than in her previous one

By the time Su Qin finished his half bowl of rice, the bowls had already been washed over there. After those girls washed the bowls, they surprisingly packed the stainless steel bowls, which were needed by so many people, into their backpacks. Throughout the entire process, no one felt that anything was amiss, not even the boy who appeared to be more mature than his peers and did not say anything upon seeing it.

Without any hesitation, Lin Qingyang said: "I will stay on the first floor"

Her round face still bore some baby fat, while her body appeared quite slender. At that moment, her face showed signs of fear and unease, yet she mustered the courage to speak up

The expressions of those students immediately turned grim, and even Lin Qingyang couldn't help but shudder.

"Did you not say that your hand was ground by a knife? You also said..." Lin Qingyang's face turned the color of pig liver: "Could it be that you were really bitten?!"

The girl with long hair gradually ceased her sobbing, yet her head remained bowed, her long hair cascading down to obscure her face

Indeed, if they want to cook something, they must have bowls. How can they think about utensils for carrying things when zombies are chasing them? They would rather strip off their clothes, just hoping to run a little faster than the zombies.

Su Qin did not glance at anyone else, his eyes fixed on the leading boy, and said: "One of you has been bitten."

Lin Qingyang saw Su Qin leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, asleep, and felt hesitant to disturb her. Therefore, he went to check outside. There was a group of students outside, more than twenty in total, both male and female. When they saw the door open, they rushed in like a swarm, each holding makeshift "weapons." Not a single person was clean, their expressions filled with panic and exhaustion.

One can only rely on the jade pendant space to expedite advancement by using stone spring water to improve one's constitution. However, to upgrade the jade pendant space, it is essential to obtain the crystal nucleus produced in the brains of evolved zombies. In his previous life, Su Qin first heard about the evolution of zombies half a month after the onset of the apocalypse.

The possibility of Jingqing still being at school has now been largely ruled out, so there is no need to linger here any longer. After all, she has more important matters to attend to. At this moment, her uncle should have already been bitten by her zombie aunt, and Tang Yu should also be locked in the wardrobe of the Tang family.

More than an hour had passed, and it was now 7:30. Su Qin had run a lot during the day and had killed quite a few zombies, leaving him utterly exhausted. He had managed to hold on until now, but now that he relaxed, he felt a pervasive soreness and numbness throughout his body. He was too lazy to move even a finger, so he settled into the chair, closed his eyes, and although he felt no trace of drowsiness, he relaxed his body and pretended to doze off, while his mind continued to race, planning the next steps.

Lin Qingyang huddled to the side, staring nervously at Su Qin with wide eyes. His gaze occasionally wandered as he secretly plotted an escape route and a plan in his mind, sincerely praying that even if Su Qin turned into a zombie, he would not be as twisted as he was before the transformation. Strangely, despite genuinely worrying that Su Qin might become a zombie, he never considered going to the second floor or distancing himself from Su Qin.

The number of zombies outside is gradually increasing with the onset of night. If one were to venture out at this time, it is likely that they would become fodder for the zombies before finding the next place to spend the night

The leading boy frowned at the unprocessed vegetables, but still instructed the members of his team to pack everything into bags

Lin Qingyang calmly filled two bowls with rice and vegetables, then happily carried them over.

The urgent task is to get a vehicle first. In her previous life, she and Tang Shuangshuang evaded zombies, stopping and starting along the way, and got lost on the road. A six-hour journey took them over half a month to complete, and it was only after Su Qin found an electric tricycle that they managed to travel a portion of the distance. By the time they returned, Tang Yu was left with barely a breath due to hunger.

There were tasks to be done, and the students who had appeared panicked gradually calmed down. However, a few timid girls still huddled as far away from the bodies as possible, sobbing incessantly.

Liu Ge nodded, but still had some reservations, so he said to Su Qin: "You can stay, but you can only remain on the first floor." Seeing Su Qin readily agree, he couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration. If it had been another girl, she would probably have been scared to tears at the thought of being alone on the first floor. It seems that this girl has been calm and composed from the moment she entered, displaying an air of ease throughout.
