Chapter 008

As she opened her eyes in a state of confusion, her mind clearly took a moment to register when she met a pair of bright, sparkling eyes. Then she saw the face opposite her break into a wide grin, revealing two rows of perfectly white teeth: "You’re awake."

The zombies emitted thirsty, excited howls as they pursued the fleeing individuals with their stiff strides

The performance is commendable

"How do you know the main entrance is blocked? Do you have a pair of clairvoyant eyes?" the girl with an oval face scoffed.

Su Qin continued to ignore her, glancing at Zheng Yi, only to find that his eyes were also filled with doubt. Su Qin had never been a patient person; having already given a reminder, she felt there was nothing more she could do since they were not listening.

Su Qin did not even glance, tightly gripping Lin Qingyang's arm with her petite frame. Her pair of eyes fixed on Lin Qingyang, she coldly uttered a single sentence: "There will be no next time"

Su Qin nodded and asked, "What is your name?"

Suddenly, a chilling howl from the back of the line pierced the air! This howl was not the excited screech of a zombie spotting food, but rather a distorted scream of agony after being injured

Zhang Gu, along with the students who were running, could not help but be drawn by the call, and they all looked up, their eyes suddenly widening!

The chilling and piercing screams rose and fell like swords stabbing into the hearts of those who were fleeing, yet no one dared to look back even once. Some ran until tears streamed down their faces, the tears mingling with sweat, and no one bothered to wipe them away. They summoned every ounce of strength from their bodies, their eyes fixed intently on the direction from which the gunfire came. Run! Run! Run! If they could just get out of the school, they would be safe! The tears and sweat mixed together, and no one went to wipe them away. They summoned every ounce of strength from their bodies, their eyes fixed intently on the direction from which the gunfire came. Run! Run! Run! If they could just get out of the school, they would be safe!

Su Qin pressed his lips tightly together, his face slightly pale, with sweat sliding down from his eyelashes, half of it dripping onto his eyeball, causing a burning sensation. His legs moved mechanically, yet he maintained a steady pace in the middle of the group.

Su Qin almost believed that he was still dreaming, or that he had been dreaming last night

Moreover, what is even more suspicious is that her voice seems to be somewhat similar to that of the broadcast

At this moment, the sun has risen, and the sunlight shines on the girl's slightly pale face, which is almost translucent. The deep black color of the sword blade is profound, and with each swing, it generates a chilling airflow

Su Qin rubbed his temples vigorously, confirming that he was not dreaming now, nor was he dreaming last night. So what is the situation with Lin Qingyang now

Zheng Yi also said: "Liu Qi is right, and I initially passed by the back door, where many people had turned into zombies m.hetushu .com .com"

Nod

Su Qin nodded again: "My name is Su Qin. During the time you are following me, everything must be done according to my instructions"

At this moment, Su Qin, who appeared to be utterly relaxed in the eyes of the crowd, was concentrating intently on observing the movements around him, as every gust of wind carried information from afar

Zhang Gu suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Qingyang, and to his shock, Lin Qingyang had disappeared without him noticing! Zhang Gu quickly turned to look at Su Qin, and was even more startled! Su Qin was also gone!

Su Qin stopped in his tracks, gave him a scrutinizing glance, and asked: "How many zombies have you killed?"

Having said that, he walked towards Zhang Gu, who was running towards her.

The person who fell could only manage to get back up from the ground before being once again knocked down and overwhelmed by the swarm of approaching zombies

Su Qin glanced sideways at the bundle in his arms, then looked at Lin Qingyang and said, "So, have you come to a conclusion?"

This is yet another point of suspicion. Generally speaking, individuals with such skills typically possess good physical fitness. For instance, his second uncle can easily run ten kilometers while carrying a load of thirty kilograms without even breaking a sweat

Zhang Gu closely followed behind, also covered in beads of sweat. However, due to his regular exercise, he found the run not too difficult. He turned his head to glance at Su Qin, who maintained the same pace as him. Although her face remained calm and expressionless, Zhang Gu could still tell that she seemed to be struggling a bit, her complexion slightly pale.

Before leaving, Lin Qingyang's loud shout startled the group of students who were still asleep. Last night, the students were still in a state of fear and had not yet calmed down. They all kept their eyes wide open, staying up for most of the night, and only fell into a drowsy sleep in the early hours. Just as they were sleeping soundly, they were awakened by Lin Qingyang's shout, which immediately provoked a chorus of complaints.

The young man pushed up the glasses on his nose and said, "Four."

Lin Qingyang didn't even have a chance to make a move. As the number of zombies killed increased, Su Qin and Zhang Gu became increasingly coordinated, and Lin Qingyang's expression grew darker.

Zhang Gu's heart was filled with even greater joy! He remembered that his uncle's troops had been conducting exercises in the suburbs near Ningyuan City during this period

Compared to the expressionless girl in front of me who appears to be quite young, such a reaction should be considered normal

Before Zheng Yi could speak, the girl with the oval face exclaimed: "Are you out of your mind?! We are almost at the front door, why are we going around to the back? Who knows how many of these strange monsters are on the way!"

"I thought about it all night yesterday, and I finally figured it out." Lin Qingyang, with disheveled hair and noticeable dark circles under his eyes, revealed a standard smile showing eight teeth: "You must be worried about dragging me down, which is why you didn't let me accompany you back. But you really don't need to worry about me, I... hey! Su Qin, where are you going?! Hey! Wait for me!"... Hey! Su Qin, where are you going?! Hey! Wait for me!

Zheng Yi furrowed his brows and glanced at Zhang Gu, feeling a bit regretful, yet he still did not speak up to keep him.

Although Su Qin did not employ any formal fighting techniques, every strike was lethal and cunningly aimed at the opponent's weaknesses. She seemed to have an intimate understanding of the body's vulnerabilities, ensuring that each move inflicted maximum damage. However, it was strange that while Su Qin's fighting skills appeared to be masterful, upon careful observation of her every attack and withdrawal, it became evident that her strength seemed rather... feeble. Yet, it was peculiar that Su Qin's fighting techniques seemed to be executed with great finesse, but he noticed that her power appeared to be quite... weak.

Zhang Gu used his finger to push his sliding glasses back into place, casually wiping the sweat from his face. However, the most important thing now is to change his weapon, he thought, looking at the serrated kitchen knife in his hand with a wry smile

A group of people walked cautiously for several hundred meters. Although they had not encountered any active zombies for the time being, corpses of both zombies and humans were visible everywhere. One could easily step on unknown entrails. Although this group of students had already experienced such scenes, the feelings had faded considerably after a night. Upon seeing such a tragic sight again, many people's faces turned pale.

Looking at Lin Qingyang squatting on the seat with a backpack, his messy hair and bright, sparkling eyes gazing at her, he had a look reminiscent of a pug, as if tossing him a bone would elicit a bark.

Everyone echoed in agreement

The stunned soldiers finally reacted, rushing forward to protect Su Qin in the center, unleashing a torrent of bullets at the ever-increasing horde of zombies. Occasionally, some soldiers would steal a curious glance at Su Qin while reloading their weapons. Su Qin seemed oblivious to the soldiers' fervent gazes, she sheathed her sword and walked expressionlessly towards Lin Qingyang, whose eyes were fixed on her.

Zheng Yi and Su Qin discussed leaving the city together, and after some consideration, Su Qin agreed. Her right hand was still injured, and although in her previous life her left hand was as agile as her right, she now needed some time to adapt. Their group consisted of 23 people, and with Su Qin and Lin Qingyang, there were a total of 25. With so many young individuals, they would only face danger if they encountered a significant number of zombies. However, given Su Qin's current abilities and resources, she was more than capable of ensuring her own safety.

At this moment, the soldiers, like divine warriors, truly became the most beloved individuals in the hearts of the students present

During this process, Zhang Gu became increasingly alarmed. His second uncle was in the military and had always enjoyed teaching him some combat techniques since he was young. Zhang Gu had never liked to solve problems with violence, so he was not particularly interested in the so-called combat skills. However, under his uncle's insistence, he reluctantly learned a few moves. His uncle, although not particularly skilled, had a keen eye for observation.

Zhang Gu felt perplexed, while Su Qin merely thought that he was being neurotic, and instead found Zhang Gu increasingly agreeable.

Su Qin began to develop a fondness for Zhang Gu. She appreciated straightforward individuals who did not meddle in others' affairs. As Su Qin contemplated this, she cast a glance at someone who had a penchant for being overly involved in others' matters. She noticed Lin Qingyang frowning, staring at her, seemingly lost in thought.

Su Qin no longer paid attention to others, walked up to Lin Qingyang, and said directly: "Lead the way, to the back door." After saying this, he turned and walked in the opposite direction

Su Qin, disinterested in her, quickly walked to Zheng Yi's side and said in a low voice: "We cannot exit through the front door; where is the back door of your school?"

Not long after starting to run, the crowd erupted in cheers! In the distance, over two hundred soldiers dressed in green camouflage uniforms were seen, swiftly approaching with their guns raised!

Logically speaking, a person with such proficient and skilled combat techniques should have honed them through long-term close-quarters combat experience. How could they possibly be so weak? Moreover, looking at Su Qin, who is not yet twenty, her expression when facing a zombie is akin to that of looking at a cabbage. When she effortlessly decapitates the zombie with a single stroke, her expression resembles that of harvesting wheat. Even when the zombie's brain matter splatters onto her face, she merely wipes it away with her sleeve, not even furrowing her brow.

Until the officer in charge fired his gun, hitting a zombie that was lunging towards Su Qin from behind

The main entrance is now blocked by zombies, so we must use the back door to get out. The stench of decay from the zombies ahead is much stronger than that of other rotting matter, with at least thirty or forty of them. This group of people has neither guns nor knives, and there are a few timid girls who only know how to cry and hold everyone back. Rushing forward recklessly would only serve to deliver a meal to the zombies

"May I join you?" A boy wearing gold-rimmed glasses stepped out from the line, holding a kitchen knife that he must have found in the cafeteria.

Zhang Gu

Zheng Yi suppressed the discordant voices within the team, quickly organized the books, and then led the team to catch up with Su Qin

At that moment, several gunshots suddenly rang out from the direction of the back door, followed by gunfire at the front door. Then, a more intense barrage of gunfire erupted, most of which came from the front door. The deafening sound of gunfire almost merged into one continuous roar. Su Qin and the other two were taken aback, exchanged glances, and then quickened their pace towards the back door

Thus, a consensus was reached

At this moment, everyone present, including the soldiers who had just arrived for rescue and had not yet had the chance to act, fell silent in the face of this shocking scene

Zheng Yi arranged the team into a square formation, with boys on the outside and girls on the inside

Lin Qingyang stood at the outer row closest to Su Qin, sporting deep blue dark circles under his eyes, yet appearing unusually spirited. His large eyes sparkled as he continuously scanned the buildings on either side of the road, contemplating how he would be the first to charge forward if any zombies approached, allowing Su Qin to witness his heroic stance against the undead.

They came out of the cafeteria and walked nearly 500 meters, surprisingly encountering not a single zombie. As they approached the school gate, the students, who had been tense all over, began to relax. It seemed that the zombies had been mostly dealt with. Even Zheng Yi let out a slight sigh of relief in his heart. However, Su Qin's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. Suddenly, Su Qin stopped in his tracks. Behind him was a beautiful girl with an oval face, who was nervously staring to the side. As soon as Su Qin halted, she bumped into him, startled, and couldn't help but let out a scream.

Zhang Gu's keen eyes quickly spotted that the one running at the front of the line was none other than his second uncle! Filled with joy, he quickened his pace.

Zhang Gu felt a wave of anxiety and quickly looked around, but at that moment, there were people everywhere, making it impossible to catch a glimpse of Su Qin and Lin Qingyang. Standing in the center of the crowd, Zhang Gu was jostled several times by the flow of people. With no other option, he could only continue to run towards the back door, swept along by the crowd.

At the end of the team, a girl dressed in a black tracksuit with short hair stood in front of a man and a woman, facing the horde of approaching zombies. In her left hand, she held a large black umbrella, while in her right hand, she wielded a dark long sword, decapitating a zombie with each swing.

The three individuals ran frantically, unable to spare a moment to clear away the zombies. They dodged whenever possible, and when they could not, they fought back. The sound of gunfire also alerted other students hiding in different parts of the school, who rushed out to join the frantic escape. Naturally, this also attracted the zombies that had been wandering around the campus in search of fresh prey.

The weapon he held in his hand was one of the two small knives belonging to Su Qin. Lin Qingyang had seen Su Qin use the other one and couldn't help but think that these two might originally be a pair. He sneakily glanced back at Su Qin, who was leisurely surveying his surroundings within the protective circle, and his eyes brightened even more.

Su Qin was awakened by the cold

The troops at the school gate might just be the troops of one's own uncle

Yesterday, he encountered too many girls who usually appeared calm and composed, exuding elegance, but when faced with zombies, they screamed without regard for their image, completely losing the refined demeanor they typically maintained

At this moment, everyone was unleashing their potential for life, desperately sprinting towards the school gate, their speed even faster than during the sports competition. However, when a crowd gathers, accidents are likely to happen; people occasionally fell while pushing and shoving, and before they could get back up from the ground, they were already thrown to the back of the line. At this time, no one had the capacity to show concern for their classmates.

Thus, Su Qin, Lin Qingyang, and the newly joined Zhang Gu hurried towards the back door, while Zheng Yi led the remaining individuals to continue towards the front door

When Zhang Gu ran over, he was somewhat out of breath. Looking at Su Qin approaching him, the eyes hidden behind the lenses shone frighteningly. Then, feeling somewhat at a loss, he supported Su Qin, who was leaning slightly towards him. He then heard Su Qin's voice, no longer stiff, but soft and tinged with the weariness that one of this age should have: "Support me, I have no strength left..."

Suddenly, everyone turned to look. The girl with an oval face blushed, glared at Su Qin, and said, "What are you doing stopping all of a sudden!"

Zheng Yi felt embarrassed to leave Su Qin outside, and Su Qin did not take the initiative to bring it up either. Ignoring the dissatisfaction of the crowd, he stood leisurely within the line as it moved toward the school gate

Lin Qingyang did not hesitate at all and immediately left the group to follow Su Qin

The three individuals encountered numerous zombies along the way. Whenever a zombie spotted them, Zhang Gu would instinctively be the first to charge forward. Zhang Gu had a refined appearance and wore glasses, yet his strikes were marked by a ruthless precision, always targeting the zombies' weakest points. If he missed a hit, Su Qin would swiftly step in to deliver the finishing blow. The two, one focusing on offense and the other on support, surprisingly coordinated very well.

Zhang Gu nodded, indicating his agreement

This is the army! Su Qin's heart raced as she recalled that in her previous life, she had heard Tang Shuangshuang mention that the day after the zombie outbreak, the army had come to their school to rescue them! Because so much time had passed, Su Qin had long forgotten about this, and it was only upon hearing the gunfire that she realized.
