Searching for Food

"Tianlei, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll go with you," Wu Bin said, pulling Zhao Tianlei as the three arrived at the back door of the fire escape.

"Wu Bin, you stay here and protect Sitong. Sitong is so beautiful. If someone tries to take advantage of her after we leave, she's just a weak woman and won't be able to resist. Besides, it's more dangerous to go out like this. It's more convenient for me to act alone. If you follow me, I'll have to be distracted by you. Lock the door after I leave. Before I come back, don't open it for anyone unless it's me."

After Zhao Tianlei finished speaking, seeing their strange expressions, he quickly smiled and comforted them again, "Look at your faces, I'm just going out to find some food and I'll be back soon. Those zombies eat people, but they walk slowly. As long as I run fast enough, they won't be able to catch me."

Seeing Zhao Tianlei's determination, the two stopped trying to persuade him. Seeing that Ye Sitong wanted to say something else, Wu Bin spoke first, "Tianlei, you must be careful. We'll stay here and guard."

Then, Zhao Tianlei shushed the two and pressed his ear tightly against the door, listening to the strange noises outside. After listening for a while, he confirmed there was nothing unusual outside. Zhao Tianlei then carefully opened the door and saw that only the two zombies he had just killed were outside, with no others.

Zhao Tianlei nodded to the two and then stepped out, closing the door carefully. As soon as Zhao Tianlei went out, Wu Bin quickly locked the door from the inside. Ye Sitong opened her mouth when she saw this but didn't shout, her expression filled with worry.

In reality, Zhao Tianlei's going out to find food was a pretense. After all, the ring on his hand could open a storage space, and he had already hidden a lot of food inside. Although it wasn't gourmet food, under hunger, those steamed buns were the best delicacy. Besides that, what Zhao Tianlei cared about most was seeing what the campus would look like after a few hours. After all, the first outbreak point of the apocalypse had passed, and Zhao Tianlei had to confirm the news so he could find an opportunity to leave the school later.

The school was a public place with many people, especially the university where Zhao Tianlei was, which was a relatively famous school in the province. The entire school had at least nearly 10,000 students. According to this outbreak, at least half, or even two-thirds, of the students would become zombies or die in this apocalypse. If most people turned into zombies, the entire campus would become a giant zombie cage. The later they left, the more dangerous it would be, especially on campus. Once all other living people were devoured by zombies, the zombies would instinctively gather or search for living prey.

Of course, Zhao Tianlei didn't know all of this. It was all the apocalyptic scenes transmitted to his mind by the so-called Virtual Main God. It was because he had learned this information that Zhao Tianlei had decided to leave early. Before leaving, Zhao Tianlei had to scout the way and make plans in advance.

In fact, with Zhao Tianlei's current abilities, escaping alone would be absolutely no problem. Even when Zhao Tianlei came out of the library this time, despite being alone, with the fire axe in his hand and the food and water in his storage space, it was enough for Zhao Tianlei to find a safe place to hide.

However, the reason Zhao Tianlei didn't do this was because of the trace of humanity in his heart, especially what happened in the library just now. Zhao Tianlei couldn't bear to abandon Ye Sitong and Wu Bin. Especially after he publicly slapped Qian Hao twice and opposed Lin Mu, Zhao Tianlei believed that those people had already regarded Ye Sitong and Wu Bin as his allies. If he were no longer there, those people would definitely cause trouble for the two to vent their anger and seek revenge.

Although he had always secretly liked Shen Xinyu, Ye Sitong, as the class monitor, had always taken good care of him. Especially when he reflexively pulled Ye Sitong into his arms just now, it was the first time Zhao Tianlei had been so close to a beautiful woman. The unique fragrance of a woman entered Zhao Tianlei's nostrils, making his heart race and a indescribable feeling instantly sprout.

Just as Zhao Tianlei was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a "Ugh..." sound. Zhao Tianlei quickly woke up from his fantasy and hid behind a large tree, observing quietly. He saw that he had unknowingly arrived near the sports field. At this moment, the entire sports field was filled with wandering figures.

It was clear that the bodies on the ground had been completely eaten by these zombies. Without food, these zombies were like walking dead, wandering aimlessly. Some zombies even stood still, as if thinking about something. Zhao Tianlei obviously didn't have the time to guess the strange behavior of the zombies at this moment.

Suddenly, Zhao Tianlei noticed a black backpack about fifty meters ahead, with some snacks scattered around it. This place was where Shen Xinyu's film crew had been filming before. The snacks were clearly food prepared by the crew for the actors.

Although Zhao Tianlei had a lot of food in his storage space, he also knew that it would run out sooner or later. Therefore, seeing other food placed in front of him now, it would be a sin to let it go.

Especially since the backpack was large and seemed to be stuffed with things. He didn't know what they were. If it was food, that would be even better. With this one bag of food, it would be enough for the three of them to last for two or three days. However, there were two zombies wandering nearby. If it were the old Zhao Tianlei, he would definitely abandon the food and flee for his life.

But the current Zhao Tianlei had undergone a complete transformation. These were considered lone zombies, and he didn't take them seriously at all. If it were a group of zombies, no matter how passionate Zhao Tianlei was, he wouldn't risk his life.

He decided to act. Zhao Tianlei lowered his body, deliberately slowed his pace to avoid making noise, and gripped the fire axe tightly in both hands, approaching the two zombies step by step. The distance of tens of meters was walked very, very slowly by Zhao Tianlei. Just as he was about to get behind the two zombies, the two zombies actually began to stir. Their bodies, which had been standing and wandering slowly, suddenly began to tremble and become inexplicably excited.

Even more deadly, one of the zombies seemed to have noticed Zhao Tianlei and actually turned around. Zhao Tianlei was greatly shocked. If this zombie discovered him and made a sound, attracting other nearby zombies to surround and attack him, his plan would be ruined. Without hesitation, Zhao Tianlei lunged forward. Before the zombie had fully turned around, he swung the fire axe in his hand and struck its neck.

The sharp fire axe, combined with Zhao Tianlei's strength, directly severed half of the zombie's neck and head with one swing. The zombie's head flew through the air, its gray eyes still wide open, its teeth opening and closing, completely unaware that it had been killed.
