On the second floor of the cafeteria, the window of the Korean restaurant kitchen opened simultaneously with the one below when the small team shouted to open it. However, due to the technical difficulty of climbing, Huang Mo and Fu Xiyuan, who were stationed there, could only cling to the window and watch helplessly as the students below either filed in or ran away in different directions. They were anxious but unable to help. Fortunately, those who ran away eventually returned safely.
Before they could completely relax, they could faintly hear discordant sounds of arguing coming from the tightly closed window below.
"They seem to be arguing?" Fu Xiyuan asked in confusion, his brows furrowing again after they had just relaxed.
Huang Mo didn't speak immediately, but listened for a few seconds before saying with some concern, "It should be."
"Difficulty in getting along?" Fu Xiyuan could only think of this possibility; otherwise, there was no reason for him to start picking fights and settling scores so soon after returning.
Huang Mo lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment: "It might also be related to the one we just brought back."
Eight people went, and nine came back. Moreover, they were all tall, agile, and had to make an extra round trip compared to the others, so it was hard not to notice them.
Fu Xiyuan suddenly realized and couldn't agree more: "What do you mean, 'possible'? Absolutely! If you ask me, we shouldn't have brought back someone as dangerous as Yu Zisheng at all!"
The clear name and surname surprised Huang Mo: "You know him?"
"He's from our department, in the same class as Zhao He, and lives on the same floor as us. Damn it, he used to act all high and mighty, but now that this has happened, his true colors are showing. He was one of those people who refused to open the supermarket for us!" After escaping to the cafeteria, Zhao He cursed through gritted teeth, because he was the only one who saw these bastards through the gap in the cotton curtain. Wu Zhou and Fu Xiyuan were naturally the main audience, since only people who knew each other could truly empathize with the pain of being hurt and could better unite in their hatred.
After Fu Xiyuan's reminder, Huang Mo seemed to have a vague recollection of the name, but this only complicated matters further: "The supermarket was breached the night before last. If he escaped then, it would have been two whole days and two nights by now..."
Fu Xiyuan wasn't one to overthink things, but after fleeing for his life, the circumstances had forced him to gradually become more thoughtful. Therefore, even though Huang Mo hadn't finished speaking, he understood the other's concerns. However, in his view, this was no big deal: "We train all the time. We might not be good at anything else, but we're physically strong. We can go hungry for a couple of days and feel light as a feather. Besides, there are zombies chasing us. Even if we only have a breath left, we'll hold our breath and run first, let alone have the stamina."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Besides, he might not have come out as soon as the supermarket broke down. Maybe he hid in some corner of the supermarket for a day or two. Or maybe he brought food with him when he escaped. Anyway, that kid is cunning, he won't lose out."
"It's good that we managed to escape." Huang Mo sighed softly.
Fu Xiyuan remained silent for a long time before replying, "Yes."
I originally thought none of my classmates survived in the supermarket, but now that one has escaped, there might be a second, a third, somewhere they don't know about... Thinking about it this way makes me feel a little better.
"Why is it quiet again?" Fu Xiyuan noticed something was wrong. The previous vague argument, with its back-and-forth banter, had completely disappeared. Now, only the faint sound of the wind could be heard outside the window. "Are you done arguing?"
"Something's not right." Huang Mo's expression gradually turned serious. "If the grudges have been resolved, the spoils should be inspected. Even if there's no laughter or joy, we shouldn't be unable to hear any voices…"
Fu Xiyuan suddenly leaned half of his body out.
Huang Mo tried to stop it, but it was too late.
"Are you all alright downstairs?"
Just as Fu's urgent shouts echoed through the heavens and earth, Zhou Yilu's hand had just touched the gun barrel.
This inquiry was filled with genuine concern, intense emotion, and perfect timing—even aiming couldn't have been so precise!
With a roar, Yu Zisheng's body trembled, and in the next instant, he turned around and pounced on Lin Dilei on his left!
Xiao Di Lei, who was just standing there to watch the duel between Zhou and Yu, never expected that Yu Zisheng would choose him for no reason. He was stunned for a moment and his feet became sluggish. By the time he tried to move again, Yu Zisheng was already in front of him, with the force of Mount Tai pressing down on him!
Lin Dilei's heart sank, and she subconsciously raised her foot and kicked hard between his legs!
A sharp pain shot through the scalp of every comrade, as if they shared the same feeling as Yu in that instant.
However, the person who was actually kicked was completely unaware and still firmly grabbed Lin Dilei's shoulder, opening his mouth to bite her face!
Yu Zisheng was too strong; Lin Dilei felt as if her shoulders had been crushed, and she couldn't break free at all. She could only desperately shake her head, hoping to buy some time.
Bang!
The immense force knocked Yu Zisheng down, causing him and Lin Dilei, who was being held by it, to lose their balance. The instant they hit the ground, Lin Dilei realized that it was Luo Geng who had hit her! And she too lost her balance, falling directly onto Yu Zisheng!
It's fine even if there are no fish or shrimp.
Yu Zisheng showed no mercy to the new prey that threw itself into his arms, grabbing it tightly and opening his blood-red mouth in an instant!
Luo Geng's arms were clamped, and he was unable to escape for the time being.
Comrades had arrived, but Luo Geng was pressing down on Yu Zisheng, his shoulder blades completely blocking the other's head. The comrades had sharp blades in their hands, but they had nowhere to strike!
Just as the zombie's sharp teeth were about to bite into Luo Geng's back, a wooden stick appeared out of nowhere, directly and horizontally piercing the gap between the zombie's neck and Luo Geng's shoulder, then pressing down hard, strangling the zombie's jaw and preventing its head from rising any further.
It's Lin Dilei!
When I fell and escaped from Yu Zisheng's grasp, there happened to be a wooden mop right next to me!
A mop got stuck around Yu Zisheng, and Song Fei immediately came over to help her hold down the other end. Meanwhile, the other friends had already tacitly surrounded her. Zhao He and Wu Zhou held down Yu Zisheng's left and right legs respectively, while the remaining friends tried to pry her arms off.
Seven people dealing with two arms should be no problem at all. Three people can take one arm, leaving one person to carry out an assassination.
In fact, this is how the martial arts troupe members divided their work.
However, Yu Zisheng's arm strength far exceeded that of ordinary people. Three people struggled for a long time trying to pry his arm open, but they couldn't actually break it. At this moment, Qi Yan had already arrived in front of Yu Zisheng's head with his spear. But stabbing downwards was definitely not going to work, unless Luo Geng didn't want to lose his shoulder. So Qi Yan could only kneel down on one knee, change the spear from vertical to horizontal, point the tip of the blade directly at Zisheng's crown, and thrust it horizontally with a fierce thrust!
Whether it's possession or just a stroke of luck, the moment Qi Yan aimed and aimed for the gun, Yu Zisheng suddenly straightened up!
It's incredible that it not only lifted its back off the ground, but also did so while bearing the pressure from Lin Dilei, Song Fei, and the weight of Luogeng!
The blade, originally aimed at its head, ended up piercing the back of its neck!
After being stabbed, Yu Zisheng fell back to the ground and let out a howl that was no longer human. Luo Geng, who was closest to it, was almost deafened for a moment by the shock!
The two arms that were struggling to fight the prey suddenly relaxed, but as they were rapidly separated to the sides by external force, they swung strangely, and the right arm successfully escaped from the three hands. In the blink of an eye, it accurately grabbed the gun barrel behind the neck and pulled hard!
The blade, which had been completely embedded, was violently pulled out. The next second, Qi Yan felt a sharp, intense pain in his palm as Yu Zisheng snatched the gun away!
Although it gripped the end of the long shaft close to the blade, making the spear feel like a short knife in its hand, even a short knife was enough. The moment it succeeded in seizing the spear, it turned the tip of the blade towards Qiao Siqi, Feng Qibai, and He Zhiwen, who were still trying to subdue its right arm, and stabbed wildly!
The three quickly withdrew and retreated.
Yu Zisheng stabbed at the hand of the person pressing down on his left arm again!
The other three had no choice but to hide. Yu Zisheng, whose upper limbs were finally free, grabbed Lin Dilei's clothes and pulled her in front of him, about to strike with the knife.
In a moment of quick thinking, Lin Dilei raised the mop handle, blocking the zombie's wrist. But at the same time, she could no longer strangle its head, and Yu Zisheng bit Lin Dilei's face!
In the nick of time, a rolling pin pierced through, blocking the way between the two, and took Lin Dilei's place as Yu Zisheng bit her squarely!
"Little whale!"
Lin Dilei was both surprised and delighted. The divine help that had come from heaven was actually the weakling Li Jingyu!
However, the zombie repeatedly missed its target, and seemingly enraged, it took out the rolling pin from its mouth and slammed it forward!
Wu Zhou and Zhao He, who were struggling to hold down its legs, nimbly dodged, but the force they applied momentarily relaxed due to the dodge, allowing the zombie to seize the opportunity and leap up!
The group quickly moved to a safe distance, confronting the zombie whose neck was bleeding profusely, across the counter.
The huge kitchen suddenly became eerily quiet.
Twelve people and one zombie—what should have been an overwhelming battle has stalled to this point. Sometimes, numbers don't equate to overwhelming power, because the difference in their limits is too great. One side is willing to be stabbed as long as they aren't stabbed in the brain, while the other is afraid even of a scratch. As the saying goes, the stubborn fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear the reckless, and now the reckless has even acquired a weapon.
Although it was still lying on the front of the gun barrel, looking like it was holding a snake by the neck, as long as the snake's head was in hand, the battle was destined to be hampered—no one likes to be hurt by a knife in the hands of a zombie.
*Smack*
*Slap slap*
Clap clap clap!
One after another, the sound of banging on the window rang out—no, it was more like the window was being smashed!
The twelve students felt a chill run down their spines and realized that Yu Zisheng had let out a huge howl when he was stabbed in the back of the neck; he was calling for his kind!
Each slap felt like a blow to everyone's heart, their twelve nerves taut, fearing that the glass would shatter at any moment!
"Gently knock on the slumbering soul~~ Slowly open your eyes~~ Look at this busy world~~ Is it still spinning alone incessantly~~ The spring breeze, oblivious to romance~~ Stirs the heart of a young person..."
Everyone was taken aback. Huang Mo?
Before I could think about it, the slapping sound that had paused for a moment resumed, even more intensely than before!
The students upstairs who were trying to lure the enemy seemed to realize that their efforts were not very effective, and immediately changed the music.
Birds fly because of strong wings; flowers bloom because of carefree growth. What makes wings strong and flowers bloom? Why do some birds not have time to fly? Why do some flowers not have time to bloom?
Snap snap snap—
The knocking on the window didn't stop at all.
"No, I really can't listen to this anymore! Don't you have anything more exciting? We're here to lure the enemy into hatred, not to provide emotional healing!"
With a shout from Fu Xiyuan, the gentle singing upstairs came to an abrupt halt.
Soon, a demonic wind swept across the vast天地 (heaven and earth)—
"Dancing non-stop for three days and three nights in the middle of the night~~ Floating with only music for three days and three nights in the middle of the night~~ Damn, this song is too hard on the voice, three days and three nights in the middle of the night, all I'm left with is sweat..."
"The key is set too high."
"How can it be attractive if it's not tall! Ugh, damn, it's not only hard on my voice but also exhausting!"
"You don't have to twist and turn..."
"How can there be a climax if we don't jump? How can we get them hyped up! I'm not tired at all~~ I've been jumping for three days and three nights~~ I'm so happy I could get drunk on soda right now~~~"
"..."
Effort always pays off.
The knocking on the window gradually stopped—Fu Xiyuan, having gone all out and disregarded his vocal cords and back, caused the zombies on the perimeter to collectively look up at the singing god.
For a moment, the zombies were leisurely and peaceful, the singing god danced wildly, and it was hard to tell who was infected.
