It was none other than Ye Sitong, the class monitor of Zhao Tianlei and Wu Bin. Ye Sitong was considered a beauty in their class. However, with a star-level beauty like Shen Xinyu present, Ye Sitong had been overshadowed. Still, Ye Sitong had become class monitor through more than just her looks. She also had excellent grades and an enthusiastic, passionate personality.
In short, ever since Ye Sitong had become class monitor, she had done a great deal for the entire class and earned the goodwill of every student. But the person who was most touched was Zhao Tianlei. Countless times in the past, when Lin Mu had publicly humiliated Zhao Tianlei, Ye Sitong had stepped forward to help him out of trouble.
Wu Bin hurriedly said, "The one who saved you wasn't me. It was Zhao Tianlei. He was the one who drove off those zombies just now. Everyone, hurry up and go. Don't let Zhao Tianlei's efforts be in vain. Get to the library nearby and hide there first."
"Zhao Tianlei was the one driving just now?"
A trace of indescribable surprise showed in Ye Sitong's complicated gaze. Clearly, in Ye Sitong's eyes, Zhao Tianlei had always been the sort of person who was bullied. Yet now, when faced with terrifying zombie monsters, this guy—the most timid person in class, and the easiest one to bully—had actually risked his life to step forward and save everyone. As the saying went, ordinary emotions were mostly false. Only in a critical crisis could a person's loyalty truly be revealed.
"But if we leave just like this, what about Zhao Tianlei? So many zombies are chasing him. He won't be able to get away. I'm going to help him."
Seeing the students around her fleeing while they had the chance, Ye Sitong was still very frightened, but she wanted to go help Zhao Tianlei, who was driving alone and drawing the zombies away.
However, before Ye Sitong could go, Wu Bin grabbed her and pulled her back. At the same time, he said, "My dear class monitor, don't make trouble at a time like this, all right? Those zombies eat people. You're a defenseless young woman. How are you going to help Zhao Tianlei? You should hurry and take the students to hide in the library. I'll go help Zhao Tianlei. We'll meet you at the library in a while."
Clearly, Wu Bin couldn't bear to let their class monitor go there. Sending her over would be no different from sending her to her death. Besides, Wu Bin knew perfectly well that if not for Zhao Tianlei, he would probably have already died in the zombies' mouths. So, in order to repay Zhao Tianlei, Wu Bin absolutely refused to flee on his own.
Hearing Wu Bin's words, Ye Sitong stopped hesitating and could only say to him, "Wu Bin, you have to be careful. Many of our classmates were bitten to death by those monsters. You have to stay alive."
"I know. We'll be careful."
With that, Wu Bin stopped chatting with Ye Sitong. Carrying two chair legs in his hands, he ran toward Zhao Tianlei. In truth, Wu Bin was also extremely afraid. It was just that Zhao Tianlei had saved his life, and Wu Bin would never abandon him.
Zhao Tianlei drove away, drawing most of the zombies with him, while the sound of the car attracted even more zombies from nearby. At that moment, Zhao Tianlei was driving purely on instinct. Through the rearview mirror, he saw the densely packed zombies behind him, and his heart nearly leaped into his throat. However, when he saw that all the students on the reviewing stand had escaped, Zhao Tianlei finally breathed a sigh of relief. He promptly pressed down on the accelerator and sped off in the opposite direction.
If he drove after the students, he would only draw the zombies behind him toward them as well. After luring the zombies in another direction and putting some distance between them, Zhao Tianlei secretly abandoned the car and took a detour back.
Besides, Zhao Tianlei had already seen his roommate Wu Bin keeping a certain safe distance from the zombies. He assumed Wu Bin had come to meet him.
Although Wu Bin's actions looked extremely nervous and frightened, and he was even too timid to approach, the fact that he had managed to do this still touched Zhao Tianlei deeply. He secretly felt fortunate that his efforts to save Wu Bin had not been wasted. Zhao Tianlei took a detour the entire way, deliberately avoiding the Zombie Horde. After meeting up with Wu Bin, the two brothers couldn't help giving each other a huge, excited hug.
"Tianlei, you're incredible! You're the students' great hero. If not for you, none of us would have gotten away this time. Are you all right?"
When Zhao Tianlei heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand. "I'm fine. You can skip the empty praise. Let's hurry and catch up with everyone. By the way, where did you tell everyone to go? The entire campus is full of zombies now. With so many of us, we have to find somewhere safe to hide first."
Wu Bin hurriedly said, "When I was saving people just now, I happened to run into our class monitor, Ye Sitong. I told her to take everyone to hide in the library first. There are usually very few people in the library. Besides, when the zombie outbreak happened, everyone was either in class or on the playground, so there definitely shouldn't be anyone inside."
"Ye Sitong? I'm glad she's all right. Did you see Shen Xinyu?" Zhao Tianlei asked.
Wu Bin shook his head. "I didn't notice. There were too many people on the stand, and the situation was urgent. I didn't have time to look for anyone. After I had the class monitor lead everyone away, I came to support you. I was afraid something had happened to you."
"Good brother. I never thought you'd come for me despite the danger. I, Zhao Tianlei, didn't misjudge you. Come on, let's go join the others. This place isn't safe."
With that, Zhao Tianlei carried his fire axe, and he and Wu Bin jogged side by side toward the library. They occasionally encountered zombies along the way, but the zombies were still crouched on the ground, gnawing on corpses, so the two of them did not face much danger. However, as they drew closer to the library, the zombies gradually became more numerous. They had probably been drawn there when the hundred or so students from the playground ran toward the library together.
This situation undoubtedly made things more difficult for Zhao Tianlei and Wu Bin. When they reached the steps in front of the library, Zhao Tianlei immediately felt a headache coming on. At least thirty or forty zombies were gathered below the library steps, gnawing on corpses. The sounds of intestines being pulled apart and bones being chewed made Zhao Tianlei's scalp go numb.
But the library was right in front of them. Zhao Tianlei gestured to Wu Bin, and the two pressed themselves against the library wall, slowly making their way along the steps toward the entrance. Fortunately, the zombies were all eating and paid no attention to the two sneaking figures. However, just as they were about to reach the final step, Wu Bin suddenly panicked and tripped, falling heavily to the ground. The pain from his face striking the ground immediately made Wu Bin cry out, and Zhao Tianlei sucked in a sharp breath.
Just as Zhao Tianlei had expected, Wu Bin's cry of pain immediately attracted the zombies below the steps. At the sound of Wu Bin's shout, dozens of zombies turned toward him. When they saw two living people, they instinctively began walking up the steps.
Seeing this, Zhao Tianlei hurriedly reached out and pulled Wu Bin to his feet. Taking three steps in two, they rushed to the library entrance, where he frantically pounded on the doors. "Open the door! Let us in! The zombies are chasing us!"
"You actually led the zombies here, you bastards! Get lost!"
