Killing My Way Out of the Dormitory

"What? Zhao Tianlei, you're saying the apocalypse has arrived? Was everything you said yesterday true?"

Hearing Zhao Tianlei's words, Wu Bin clearly found it difficult to accept. Everything was fine yesterday, and today such a terrifying event had occurred. If Zhao Tianlei wasn't standing in front of him right now, Wu Bin probably would have succumbed to the mental pressure long ago on his own.

Immediately, Wu Bin almost tearfully pleaded with Zhao Tianlei, "Tianlei, what should we do? I don't want to die yet!"

Zhao Tianlei quickly comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, brother. As long as you stick close to me, I'll protect you. Grab your weapon. If any zombies get close, dodge them. If you can't dodge, use this chair leg and smash it at their heads. Their heads are their weak points. This chair leg is stainless steel, after all. Hitting their heads will cause some damage. For now, though, we need to hide here until the initial outbreak passes, then we'll find a chance to escape."

Wu Bin didn't object to Zhao Tianlei's words, but when he saw their classmates below being torn apart by zombies in their fear, he couldn't help but say, "Tianlei, there are so many of our classmates down there. Are we just going to watch them get bitten to death by those zombies?"

After hearing Wu Bin's words, Zhao Tianlei's expression turned blank. He looked at Wu Bin and said calmly, "With our current abilities, even self-preservation is a problem. If we rush out to save people, we probably won't even make it out of this dormitory building alive. These zombies haven't evolved yet, and their movement speed is very slow. As long as they aren't surrounded, it's usually fine. But these zombies have immense strength when they bite and claw. Once they grab you, it's hard to break free. Even a slight scratch or bite will cause infection, turning you into one of them."

Looking at the scene outside, Zhao Tianlei said helplessly, "This apocalypse came on very suddenly. If some students managed to hide immediately after discovering it and didn't come out, they might have escaped. There are quite a few male students in our class, and some of them are even from the sports department. When the apocalypse broke out, these male students should have protected the girls, stayed in the classrooms, and barricaded all doors and windows. They should be able to get through this."

Wu Bin suddenly spoke up, "But... Shen Xinyu was supposed to be filming on the sports field this morning, and the first few classes were self-study. Everyone agreed to go cheer her on. Everyone must be on the sports field right now, not in the classrooms. If something happens, a lot of people will definitely die."

"What?" Zhao Tianlei was stunned. Yesterday, after being beaten by Lin Mu and others, Zhao Tianlei had some trauma about going to watch Shen Xinyu film, so he had forgotten about this. Hearing Wu Bin's words now, Zhao Tianlei's heart ached. Although he was often bullied in class, these were still his classmates, and some of them treated him quite well, especially the class cadres who usually looked out for him.

"Tianlei, what do we do? Those are our classmates. If you don't go save them, everyone will be bitten to death by zombies."

For some reason, after this apocalypse broke out, Wu Bin didn't see Zhao Tianlei as the weak person he was when bullied. Instead, he seemed reborn. Coupled with Zhao Tianlei's warning to his roommates yesterday, Wu Bin felt that Zhao Tianlei definitely knew about the apocalypse beforehand. Seeing Zhao Tianlei holding two chair legs, it seemed he was fully prepared, so Wu Bin placed all his hopes on Zhao Tianlei.

Hearing Wu Bin's words, a scene flashed through Zhao Tianlei's mind. His classmates on the sports field encountering this sudden crisis, surrounded by zombies from all directions, all tragically bitten to death. Especially the class monitor who treated him well, and the goddess he had a crush on, Shen Xinyu, also met a terrible fate.

"Damn it, I've been a coward my whole life. Today, I'll break the mold and be a hero for once. I'll save them."

With that, Zhao Tianlei looked at Wu Bin, a fierce glint in his eyes. "Wu Bin, you need to think clearly. If we rush from here to the sports field to save people, we might encounter many zombies along the way. If we get surrounded, we'll die miserably too, and no one will come to save us."

Wu Bin suddenly said, "Yes, I know, but I can't abandon our classmates. Right, Tianlei, you said we need to attack their heads to deal with these zombies. Just using the chair legs we have won't be enough. There's a fire axe in the fire-fighting equipment next to the door of the first-floor reception room. If we can get that axe, dealing with these zombies might be easier."

Right, he needed to find a suitable and handy weapon. Violence was strictly forbidden on campus, and no controlled knives were allowed. The school was a public place that paid great attention to fire safety and other potential hazards. In some important passageways, there were also fire hydrants and fire axes. A fire axe would indeed be a sharp weapon against zombies.

"Wu Bin, when I open the door later, stay right behind me and rush out together. Don't engage the zombies in a hurry, and don't panic. Just follow closely behind me. As soon as we get the fire axe, we'll immediately rush out of the dormitory building. Absolutely no lingering. If any zombies get close to you, hit them hard on the head with whatever you have. Even if they were your friends before, that's all in the past. Remember, if you don't strike ruthlessly, you'll be the one who dies."

Before setting off, Zhao Tianlei patted Wu Bin's shoulder and said sternly, emphasizing the precautions again. The memories transmitted by the virtual Sovereign yesterday showed how many people died because they couldn't bring themselves to attack their own family and friends who had turned into zombies. In the chaotic world of the apocalypse, if you want to survive, you have to be ruthless, whether to others or to yourself. Otherwise, you'll be eliminated. The apocalypse is a world that magnifies the reality of the survival of the fittest.

Wu Bin also replied quite seriously to Zhao Tianlei's emphasis, "Tianlei, I understand. I definitely won't hold you back."

Seeing Wu Bin ready, Zhao Tianlei held a chair leg in one hand and reached for the dormitory door handle with the other. He took a deep breath and suddenly flung the door open. Directly opposite, the dormitory door was ajar. A student, or rather, a zombie, was standing there swaying. Hearing the noise, it turned around, revealing a terrifying face. Upon seeing the two living people, Zhao Tianlei and Wu Bin, the zombie became very excited and reached out its hands to grab Zhao Tianlei.

"Holy crap, you want to eat me? Dream on."

Zhao Tianlei immediately unleashed a flying kick, striking the zombie's chest. The zombie, which had just turned around and hadn't stabilized itself, was sent flying backward by Zhao Tianlei's kick and landed on its butt.
