Zombie Siege on the Library

Zhao Tianlei's action was completed in front of everyone, and the words he spoke, though whispered, slowly echoed throughout the quiet first floor. At least more than half of the people heard him clearly, and at that moment, almost everyone's gaze was fixed on Zhao Tianlei.

Among the many students present, not a single one was Zhao Tianlei's friend, yet almost everyone knew him. He was the poor kid who was always bullied at school, never daring to utter a sound when beaten or harassed. The one who always hid in the corner during any activity, the most self-conscious guy. Today, he had actually done several things that surprised everyone. At that moment, no one looked down on Zhao Tianlei anymore.

When Zhao Tianlei finished everything and slowly stood up, he raised his head and stared intently at Lin Mu, Qian Hao, and the others who were watching the commotion on the second floor. His eyes revealed a strong killing intent. Although Zhao Tianlei wasn't holding the sharp fire axe at that moment, when the few of them met Zhao Tianlei's gaze, which seemed to want to kill them, they couldn't help but shiver inwardly.

Suddenly, Zhao Tianlei spoke, coldly saying to them, "Lin Mu, Qian Hao, you disregard classmate bonds, playing with and trampling on others' lives. Sooner or later, you will face retribution. Even if you aren't killed, you'll be eaten alive by those zombies."

After Zhao Tianlei finished speaking, he left. Lin Mu and the others never expected Zhao Tianlei to be so arrogant. They were about to retort, but upon seeing the cold stares from the students below, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel a bit timid.

Although he was usually arrogant, that was during peacetime, protected by his father's influence, and no one dared to do anything to him. But now, with the apocalypse, the outside was filled with man-eating zombies, and survival was uncertain. While Lin Mu was somewhat wicked, he wasn't brainless. In the current situation, if he suddenly offended all the students below and they rushed up to fight him, even with a few followers, he wouldn't be able to resist.

At that moment, Lin Mu stared at Zhao Tianlei's receding back and said fiercely, "Zhao Tianlei, how dare you insult me in public? You remember this, sooner or later, I, Lin Mu, will make you fall into my hands and beg for mercy on your knees."

After the tragic suicide of the poor girl, the atmosphere at the scene instantly plummeted to rock bottom, and almost everyone dared not speak further. A strange sadness spread throughout the library. Even those who were hungry endured it, and under the immense pressure and fatigue, some lay down to sleep. At this moment, only sleep could help them digest time little by little.

After an unknown period, a sudden pattering sound made everyone hold their breath. Following the first patter, more and more sounds arose, even some terrifying "uh..." sounds could be heard. Clearly, the zombies outside had gathered and were banging on the library doors. However, from the sound, it was evident that it wasn't just a few zombies, but a large group.

Seeing the heavy, thick doors being pounded by the zombies, shaking continuously. If the zombies outside were allowed to continue banging, no matter how sturdy the library doors were, they would soon be broken down, and the fate of everyone could be imagined.

Finally, someone couldn't help but cry out in panic, "What do we do? The zombies outside are about to break in! Quickly, think of a way!"

"All the guys, quickly push those bookshelves to reinforce the door! Girls, don't just stand there, go and bring the chairs over!"

Just as everyone was in a panic, a sudden roar stunned everyone. They all looked over and saw Zhao Tianlei walking over, carrying the fire axe.

"What are you all still gawking at? Do you want to watch the zombies break down the door and eat you?" Seeing their dumbfounded expressions, Zhao Tianlei roared again.

This time, someone finally came to their senses and hurriedly acted according to Zhao Tianlei's instructions. Zhao Tianlei, meanwhile, quietly said to Wu Bin, "I can feel that this door is very unsafe, and it's only a matter of time before the zombies break it down. We need to find a way to leave as soon as possible. Come with me to check the back door to see if it's safe. If not, we have to leave here now."

Wu Bin nodded without hesitation at Zhao Tianlei's words and immediately followed Zhao Tianlei, holding two chair legs. As for Ye Sitong, Zhao Tianlei asked her to wait aside first. After all, the sudden appearance of a large group of zombies attacking the main door had greatly surprised Zhao Tianlei, and he couldn't help but worry about the safety of the back door. However, when he reached the fire escape door and saw that there was no movement from the back door, Zhao Tianlei breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately stepped forward, ready to open the door to check if it was truly safe outside. Just as Zhao Tianlei gently opened the door and prepared to step out, he almost bumped into something. However, after feeling what he had bumped into, Zhao Tianlei's hair stood on end, and he blurted out, "Holy crap."

"Ugh..."

It was a zombie. Just as Zhao Tianlei opened the back door to go out, he suddenly bumped into a living zombie. The zombie was originally standing outside the door. Suddenly, a living person popped out in front of it. The zombie was slightly stunned, then clearly excited, and immediately reached out its hand, preparing to grab Zhao Tianlei. Fortunately, Zhao Tianlei reacted quickly. He directly raised his foot and kicked the zombie backward before it could make a move.

However, Zhao Tianlei was shocked again. There wasn't just one zombie in front of him; there were at least dozens of zombies gathered outside the back door. Although Zhao Tianlei didn't know how these zombies got there, they were all attracted by Zhao Tianlei's movement. Almost all the zombies, upon seeing two living people, Zhao Tianlei and Wu Bin behind him, started growling and lunging at them.

"Quick, close the door!" Zhao Tianlei exclaimed, quickly dodging back inside the door. He and Wu Bin quickly closed and locked the door.

However, even after they locked the door, it was too late. The zombies outside clearly didn't want to watch two living people escape, and they all threw themselves at the door, starting to bang on it. The main door of the library was a heavy wooden structure; a normal person banging on it wouldn't make much noise. This escape door, however, was specially constructed. Even one person banging on it would create a lot of noise. Now, with dozens of zombies banging on it desperately, the sound was naturally ear-piercing.

"Ah, don't eat me, help..."

Just as Zhao Tianlei and Wu Bin were filled with tension, a tragic scream suddenly came from the first-floor hall of the library.

From this scream, it was clear that zombies had appeared. Had the zombies outside the main door broken in? If so, why was there no sound of the door breaking? Despite his doubts, the scream was undeniable. Zhao Tianlei immediately rushed into the hall with Wu Bin, where they saw a panicked Ye Sitong and students scrambling everywhere in the hall, or rather, fleeing for their lives.

Zhao Tianlei quickly asked, "Sitong, what happened?"
