Survivors in the Teaching Building

Zhao Tianlei's words undoubtedly gave everyone a glimmer of hope for survival, especially upon hearing that the government and army had initiated a rescue plan. Everyone couldn't help but get excited.

Only the teacher spoke up again to Zhao Tianlei, saying, "The troops are very far from our school. They definitely won't come here instead of a closer location to rescue people. They'll prioritize survivors nearest to them. If we wait here for the troops to arrive, who knows when that will be. By then, we won't be able to hold on. You just said that almost everyone in the school has turned into zombies, so we must find a safe place first and then figure out how to rendezvous with the troops."

The teacher's words immediately served as a wake-up call for everyone. After all, they were a teacher, unlike those simple-minded students. In the current situation, relying solely on others instead of oneself was not a viable solution. Between life and death, one's destiny is always in their own hands.

The teacher spoke again, "Teacher Zhang and I both have cars, and our cars are parked outside the teaching building. If we can escape, we can all squeeze into the cars and perhaps drive straight towards the troops. Although our school is a bit far from the troops, it would only take less than an hour by car. That should be fine and much safer than everyone walking."

"Teacher, you're right. Everyone, don't panic. I'll find a way to save you all now." After saying that, Zhao Tianlei prepared to leave.

But just as Zhao Tianlei was about to go down, the teacher called out to him again, "Student, what are you planning to do? These zombies are too dangerous. You must have a feasible plan before you act, otherwise, I absolutely cannot let you take risks for us. If you can't save us and end up losing your own life, that would be terrible."

Facing the teacher's concern, Zhao Tianlei smiled slightly and said, "Heh heh, teacher, you don't need to worry about that. It's precisely because of what you said that I've decided to save you all, even if it's risky. Remember, when I knock, you must quickly move those things away and then rush out with me. Also, all the male students inside should find something to defend themselves with. Remember to protect the female students and don't just look out for yourselves."

After speaking, Zhao Tianlei jumped directly from the window and pulled Cheng Yao towards the teaching building. As they approached the entrance, Cheng Yao suddenly became nervous and scared. She clearly didn't want to go in. After all, she had just escaped from the gates of hell; asking her to go back in now was worse than killing her. Zhao Tianlei understood her feelings when he saw her. He gently patted Cheng Yao's face and said, "How about this? You hide behind that car. Be careful by yourself. After I rescue them, we'll leave here by car."

Upon hearing Zhao Tianlei's words, Cheng Yao held his hand and said nervously, "Okay, you must be careful. If there's any danger, run quickly. Don't try to be brave."

"Alright, I understand. I will." With that, Zhao Tianlei, carrying the fire axe alone, quietly slipped inside. Cheng Yao gritted her teeth and quickly left the teaching building, running towards the cars Zhao Tianlei had pointed out.

To say Zhao Tianlei wasn't afraid would be a lie. Although he had a super system within him and had evolved into a so-called Second Class Soldier, this couldn't suppress Zhao Tianlei's innate fear. After evolving into a Second Class Soldier and killing a few zombies, he did feel it was quite easy. However, one must remember that there were many students in the teaching building. If all these students had turned into zombies, Zhao Tianlei would be like a sheep entering a wolf pack, and a terrifying wolf pack at that.

The counselor's office was located in the middle of the teaching building. After entering from here, Zhao Tianlei needed to pass through two classrooms on either side of the corridor. Zhao Tianlei pressed himself against the wall, holding the fire axe, and moved forward inch by inch. When he approached the door of the first classroom, Zhao Tianlei discovered that the classroom door was ajar. Zhao Tianlei stayed close to the door, listening intently for a long time. He found only a few zombies gnawing on corpses inside, with no signs of any survivors.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Tianlei tiptoed to another classroom. Peeking through the glass door, he was stunned. No wonder Zhao Tianlei hadn't found any zombies in the corridor; all of them had gathered in this classroom. He didn't know how many zombies there were, but at a glance, Zhao Tianlei saw at least dozens. Zhao Tianlei quickly tiptoed away and headed towards the counselor's office.

Upon reaching the door, and after confirming there were no anomalies around, Zhao Tianlei gently knocked on the door with a very light touch, so light that it was almost inaudible. However, the people inside the office had been pressing against the door, paying attention to the movements outside. After all, everyone had pinned their hopes on Zhao Tianlei. Even if some didn't have high expectations for Zhao Tianlei, he was their only hope of escape.

In fact, these students and teachers were all terrified. When the apocalypse first broke out, they had all hidden in here. Facing the pursuing zombies, they had closed the door, blocked it with things, and waited for rescue, never daring to go out, fearing that the zombies outside would rush in as soon as the door was opened.

Originally, the zombies had been guarding the entrance, but as students in other classes screamed and fled, they were drawn away from the door. These people had remained hidden inside, not daring to make a sound, thus remaining safe until Zhao Tianlei appeared.

When everyone heard the gentle knocking sound on the classroom door, they couldn't help but get excited. Under the command of the two teachers, they hurriedly moved away the obstacles. After confirming again, they opened the office door and saw Zhao Tianlei standing outside, fire axe in hand, fully alert.

As soon as the door opened, Zhao Tianlei darted inside and closed the door. Then, he scanned the room and found more than ten people inside, including two teachers and a security guard, with the rest being students, roughly half male and half female.

Zhao Tianlei immediately said to them, "Everyone, follow closely and don't make any noise. There are zombies in the two classrooms at the entrance. One of them has at least dozens of zombies. If they discover us, none of us will be able to leave."

Upon hearing Zhao Tianlei's words, some timid individuals immediately became frightened. Dozens of zombies were like countless demons to them. Some timid people even had thoughts of giving up and running away, but under the influence of the majority, those few timid individuals could only follow along.

Following Zhao Tianlei's earlier reminder, some people had found things to use as weapons. However, when Zhao Tianlei saw those weapons, he felt dizzy. Some were holding teacups, some were holding notebooks, one was holding a flower vase, and even some girls were holding backpacks. With these items, Zhao Tianlei truly doubted if they could even kill a single zombie.
