After Wu Bin climbed inside, he carefully opened the window. Since it had been left open for ventilation, it had not been locked from the inside. Zhao Tianlei only heard a thud, clearly the sound of Wu Bin jumping in through the window and landing inside. After waiting for more than ten seconds,
"Ugh..." Suddenly, a terrifying sound rang out. The nearby zombies must have caught their scent, because soon one male and one female zombie appeared before Zhao Tianlei.
Although there were two zombies, they posed no great threat to Zhao Tianlei. He first stepped forward and sprinted in, kicking down the male zombie closest to him. Then he swung the fire axe in his hand and split open the female zombie's head. She did not even manage a groan before Zhao Tianlei crushed her skull, sending her tumbling to the ground.
Before the fallen male zombie could get up, Zhao Tianlei immediately followed up, bringing his axe down without hesitation on the zombie's head and crushing it as well.
"Creak."
After Zhao Tianlei dealt with the two zombies, he heard the door behind him open. Wu Bin poked his head out and waved to him. "Tianlei, get in quickly."
The instant Wu Bin opened the door, a pungent stench of blood wafted out. The first thing Wu Bin saw was the two zombies lying at Zhao Tianlei's feet. What he had not expected was that, in the few dozen seconds it had taken him to open the door, Zhao Tianlei had actually killed two zombies. He had to admit that Zhao Tianlei's strength shocked him.
"Tianlei, are you all right? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine. Let's get inside quickly." Seeing that the door had opened, Zhao Tianlei did not answer. He simply pulled Wu Bin inside and locked the door.
After entering the library through the back door, the two found themselves on the first floor. Zhao Tianlei carried the axe in one hand, while Wu Bin held two chair legs in both hands. They proceeded one behind the other. The students inside were whispering among themselves, and some were crying. Clearly, what had happened had terrified them.
The two of them entered so openly that they immediately attracted everyone's attention. Especially when the students saw Zhao Tianlei charging in angrily with a fire axe in his hand, still smeared with blood, they were all startled. Some timid students hurriedly moved aside, afraid that Zhao Tianlei might hurt them with the axe.
"Qian Hao, you son of a bitch! You didn't open the door for us just now, wanting us to be fed to those zombies outside. Go to hell!"
The two went straight to the main entrance on the first floor of the library. Zhao Tianlei charged directly toward Qian Hao, who had nearly gotten him killed. He raised a foot and kicked Qian Hao in the abdomen, sending him sprawling. Seeing Zhao Tianlei's vicious expression, the surrounding students quickly scattered.
After being kicked to the ground, Qian Hao was not afraid. He climbed back up and glared furiously at Zhao Tianlei. "Hmph! For the sake of the students inside the library, I had a duty not to open the door for you. What if the two of you had led those zombies inside? Everyone here would have died. To save everyone, I had to do it."
Qian Hao had always been a slippery person. What he had not expected this time was that Zhao Tianlei, who was usually bullied and never fought back, would actually break in alive. In particular, seeing the blood dripping from the fire axe in Zhao Tianlei's hand made Qian Hao somewhat afraid. He immediately fabricated a lie, claiming that he had done it for everyone's sake. In any case, what he said sounded almost impossible to refute, and some students who did not know the truth were instantly deceived by his lies.
Seeing that Zhao Tianlei was about to attack, a few bolder students could not help stepping forward to mediate. "Enough! What time is it now? Instead of finding a solution, you're still making a racket here. What if you attract more zombies? By then, this door won't be able to hold them back."
"Exactly. In any case, neither of you is hurt, and you've already made it inside. What's the point of fighting and arguing now? Besides, so many people are watching. You can't really kill him, can you?"
Zhao Tianlei had originally held the upper hand, but he had not expected Qian Hao to use everyone hiding in the library as his excuse. For a moment, everyone turned their anger toward Zhao Tianlei, making him grit his teeth in fury. Of course, Zhao Tianlei knew that no matter how much he hated Qian Hao, he could not hack him to death with an axe in front of so many people. After all, Qian Hao was human, not one of the zombies outside. Zhao Tianlei could not bring himself to do it.
"Tianlei, Wu Bin, it's good that you're all right. Thank you for risking your lives to rescue your classmates just now."
Just as Zhao Tianlei seethed with anger, a familiar voice suddenly rang out. He turned to look and saw that it was his class monitor, Ye Sitong. However, after escaping for her life, Ye Sitong's clothes were already filthy and disheveled. She was nothing like her usual spirited self. The swelling on the left side of her face made her look especially miserable.
Seeing this, Zhao Tianlei's anger flared up again. Carrying the axe, he walked forward. Amid Qian Hao's terrified expression, Zhao Tianlei raised his hand and slapped him twice across the face. He had put all his strength into those two slaps, to the point that his own hand began to hurt, let alone Qian Hao's face. A mouthful of blood immediately spurted from Qian Hao's mouth.
"Qian Hao, listen carefully, you bastard. These two slaps are repayment for what you did to our class monitor. If you dare bully any of our classmates again, I'll chop you down with one swing of my axe and throw you outside to feed the zombies. I, Zhao Tianlei, always keep my word."
With that, Zhao Tianlei walked over to Ye Sitong, grabbed her hand, and went with Wu Bin to a less crowded corner. When the students hiding there saw Zhao Tianlei approaching with an axe, they all hurried aside, clearly treating him like a plague god.
Ye Sitong had never imagined that Zhao Tianlei, who had often been bullied in the past and never dared fight back, would actually slap Qian Hao from the neighboring class twice in front of so many people to stand up for her. Qian Hao was the neighboring class's physical education representative. He liked playing basketball, was half a head taller than Zhao Tianlei, and had a sturdy build. Yet faced with Zhao Tianlei's fury, Qian Hao did not dare retaliate after taking those two slaps.
Another thing that shocked Ye Sitong was that after beating Qian Hao, Zhao Tianlei had taken her hand and walked through the crowd in full view of everyone. Although Ye Sitong had been in college for some time, she had never dated. It was not that she did not want to; she had simply devoted herself to her studies, hoping to achieve excellent grades and find a good job after graduation. With Zhao Tianlei holding her hand, Ye Sitong's face immediately flushed. She did not pull away, allowing him to lead her along.
"Class monitor, is your face all right?"
Faced with Zhao Tianlei's concern, Ye Sitong immediately nodded. "Thank you, Tianlei. I'm fine. It doesn't hurt anymore. I'm really sorry about earlier. When you two came to ask us to open the door, I couldn't convince them to let you in, and that forced you to risk yourselves outside."
