Sharp Weapon for Slaying Zombies

"Run."

After Zhao Tianlei's successful kick, he let out a soft roar and, with Wu Bin, began to sprint towards the first floor. The dormitory building had five floors in total, and they were on the third floor. Fortunately, their dorm was close to the stairwell. After Zhao Tianlei kicked down the zombie from the opposite dorm, he immediately rushed to the stairwell. They managed to rush out without encountering any zombies, as most students were in class or heading to the sports field to watch Shen Xinyu film. This was why Zhao Tianlei and Wu Bin were able to easily rush down to the first floor.

"Tianlei, look, the fire axe is right there."

"Uh..."

Just as Zhao Tianlei and Wu Bin were about to retrieve the fire axe, a non-human sound rang out. Immediately, an old man with a stumbling gait walked out of the guardhouse. It was the security guard of the male dormitory building, but he had now turned into a terrifying zombie, raising his seemingly weak hands and lunging towards Wu Bin. Wu Bin, who had been terrified by the sudden turn of events, trembled as he held two chair legs, unsure of how to swing them at the charging zombie.

"Wu Bin, be careful."

Seeing Wu Bin about to fall victim to the zombie, Zhao Tianlei shouted and swung the chair leg in his right hand with all his might towards the zombie's head.

With a "bang," Zhao Tianlei's full-force strike knocked the zombie to the ground. However, a chair leg was hardly a deadly weapon. If this blow had landed on a person's head, they would have at least been knocked unconscious. But Zhao Tianlei was dealing with a zombie, which felt no pain. After being knocked down, it actually tried to get back up.

"Tianlei, these zombies can't be killed."

"Pfft." Perhaps in response to Wu Bin's words, Zhao Tianlei gripped the chair leg with both hands and forcefully thrust it into the zombie's left eye socket as it was trying to stand up. It pierced through, killing the zombie instantly. It lay there motionless.

"Ugh." The gruesome scene caused Wu Bin to vomit uncontrollably.

"Bang." Zhao Tianlei didn't blame Wu Bin for his reaction. Instead, he quickly pulled the chair leg from the zombie's eye, smashed the glass of the fire axe display, and grabbed it.

Feeling the weight of the fire axe, Zhao Tianlei felt a surge of confidence. Compared to the light chair leg, this fire axe was definitely a sharp weapon for dealing with zombies.

"Let's go." After obtaining the fire axe, Zhao Tianlei dared not linger. The sound of smashing glass had already attracted the attention of some zombies in the hallway. From their distinctive "uh-uh" sounds, he could tell they were excited about finding fresh prey.

Zhao Tianlei grabbed Wu Bin and they rushed out of the dormitory building. In the walkway directly opposite the building, several zombies were feasting on victims. The walkway wasn't wide, and if they were suddenly attacked by zombies, it would be difficult to escape. The sides of the walkway were lined with green belts. Although there were some zombies there too, the area was much larger. Zhao Tianlei led Wu Bin through the green belt on the left.

Along the way, they maintained a steady pace, occasionally avoiding zombies that spotted them and tried to pounce. When they encountered a zombie at close range, Zhao Tianlei would kick it to the ground but not chop it with the axe.

Time was of the essence, and it was best to save time. Zhao Tianlei didn't want to waste time on these zombies. The most crucial thing now was to hope that Shen Xinyu and their classmates were safe. Although the hope was slim, Zhao Tianlei prayed in his heart that they hadn't all met a tragic end, and that those who treated him well were alive.

"Tianlei, look, there are so many zombies on the sports field."

After their hurried journey, they finally arrived at the school's sports field, where Shen Xinyu was filming. If this were a zombie horror movie, it would have been a suitable location. However, Shen Xinyu was filming a campus romance film, and the scene before them could only be described as hell on earth, with dismembered limbs, blood, and screams of agony everywhere.

"Damn it, how are we supposed to find them? Where are our classmates? Where's Shen Xinyu?"

Looking at the scene before him, even Zhao Tianlei, who had mentally prepared himself, couldn't help but panic. Everything he saw was like the scenes imprinted in his mind by the Sovereign, terrifying. The sports field was filled with corpses, and many zombies were tearing at them. Some of the bodies were so disfigured that even their own parents wouldn't be able to recognize them.

"Tianlei, look! There are many students on the podium over there. I don't know if any of them are our classmates. But the area around the podium is completely surrounded by zombies. Those students are unarmed and can't get down. If we don't save them, they'll surely die."

Suddenly, Wu Bin pointed to a podium at the far end of the sports field and said to Zhao Tianlei. Zhao Tianlei quickly followed Wu Bin's gaze. On the podium, where school leaders and hosts usually stood during assemblies, there were at least a hundred students. Surrounding the podium were many zombies, more than the surviving students. They had clearly gathered upon seeing so many potential prey.

However, these zombies had only recently mutated, and their limbs were not agile. Faced with the podium, which was nearly a person tall, they couldn't climb up. They simply surrounded the platform, reaching out their hands and staring at the survivors with their grayish-white eyes, roaring. This alone was enough to terrify the students on the stage, causing some of the more timid ones to burst into tears.

If there were only a few zombies, Zhao Tianlei might have charged forward with a surge of adrenaline, using his fire axe to kill them and save the students. But now, with hundreds of zombies surrounding the podium, even with a fire axe, Zhao Tianlei would be walking to his death.

Alternatively, if there were only one or two students on the stage, Zhao Tianlei wouldn't have taken the risk. But there were hundreds of people up there, and among them were definitely his classmates. Even though some classmates bullied him, and he held grudges, Zhao Tianlei couldn't be so cold-blooded. Especially since Shen Xinyu was likely among them, Zhao Tianlei would never abandon her.

Suddenly, Zhao Tianlei noticed some vehicles parked on the side of the sports field, clearly the film crew's vehicles for Shen Xinyu's shoot. Zhao Tianlei immediately said, "Wu Bin, I'll drive and lure the zombies away. You take the students from up there and escape. Remember to save our classmates first. If Shen Xinyu is up there, look after her for me."

"No, Tianlei, you're going to sacrifice yourself trying to lure away so many zombies alone."
