Searching for Supplies

"Ah—!"

A hysterical scream echoed through the corridor once more.

The blade in Lin Dong's hand flicked out a heart.

It even made Tank beside him drool.

Xu Shan was already dead. Her wide-open eyes still held the terror and despair from before her death.

"Too dirty..."

A crimson mass was skewered on Lin Dong's dagger like an oversized lollipop, but he found it disgusting and would never eat it. He casually tossed it to Tank beside him.

Tank stuffed it into his mouth like Zhu Bajie eating a ginseng fruit.

"Ughhh~~~"

The only remaining male student in the room kept crying. The scene before him was simply too bloody and horrifying, already beyond the limits of human endurance.

Seeing him cry, the Female Zombie actually let out a "Heh heh heh" laugh.

Perhaps she found it amusing, or perhaps she wanted to comfort him and tell him that today was a good day, so he should stop crying.

And so.

Her sharp nails stabbed straight into the male student's neck.

Severing his carotid artery.

The man's sobbing came to an abrupt stop, and the entire corridor fell completely silent.

But not long after.

The sounds of biting and chewing echoed through the empty hallway.

The zombies began their feast.

After killing those people, Lin Dong felt much better. He suddenly remembered that there might be supplies in the school cafeteria.

There was a freezer there specifically for storing fresh meat.

Since they were already here, they should collect more.

Then.

He led his three underlings out of the dormitory building, crossed the sports field, and arrived in front of the cafeteria.

Lin Dong noticed that there were far more zombies here.

Especially at the cafeteria entrance, where four or five zombies were slapping at the glass doors as though something inside had drawn them in and they desperately wanted to enter.

The glass doors were covered in bloody handprints, forming a blurry crimson smear.

"Could there be survivors in the cafeteria?"

Lin Dong analyzed the situation inwardly.

But the zombies before him were too stupid. The glass doors opened outward, yet those zombies only knew how to crowd together and shove inward, so of course they could not open them.

Seeing that those stupid zombies were in the way, Lin Dong ordered Tank to clear a path.

"Roar—"

Tank let out a low roar and charged forward, grabbing a zombie with one massive hand and swinging it straight into the wall.

"Splat!"

The zombie hit the wall and nearly turned into a meat patty before slowly sliding down, leaving streaks of crimson blood behind.

Tank also sent the other zombies flying.

They growled, but they were extremely afraid of Tank and did not dare attack, retreating one after another.

Tank's intelligence was not much greater than those zombies'.

He also reached out and pushed the glass door inward.

But his strength was simply too great. With a "Crash!", the glass door shattered outright, even warping the frame.

This showed that in the face of absolute strength, skill was unnecessary...

Lin Dong stepped into the cafeteria. The first-floor hall was very quiet, though the air was filled with the stench of decay.

Several corpses lay on the ground. They were all zombies that had been shot in the head, their blood long since dried into dark purplish stains.

Clearly, they had been killed by human survivors.

Since the apocalypse had broken out at nine in the morning, the cafeteria was not at peak hours, so there had not been many people there. It was not considered a dangerous area.

But if there were survivors, they would definitely be gathered in the storeroom, because there was enough food there to keep humans alive.

Lin Dong headed straight for the storeroom.

Before long, a large double iron door appeared ahead. It was shut. He stepped forward and gave it a push, but it did not budge at all. It was locked tight.

Faint whispers also came from behind the door.

Though the voices were weak, Lin Dong's sharp hearing caught every word clearly.

"Oh no, it sounds like zombies are coming! What do we do?" a woman said in terror.

"Don't be afraid. I'll protect you," a male student said, pulling her into his arms to comfort her.

But the girl was still worried.

"Maybe... we should hurry and run."

"Hmph! If you two want to leave, then get out already! Staying here is just wasting rations!"

Opposite the young couple, a middle-aged man in a chef's uniform spoke disdainfully.

The male student frowned, intending to argue.

But when he saw the chef holding a boning knife, he did not dare say anything else.

Inside this storeroom.

There were five people hiding in total. Aside from the chef and the young couple, there were two other girls.

When they heard the door being pushed just now, their faces were also filled with terror.

One of the girls was exceptionally beautiful, her thin lips pressed together. She was Su Xiaorou, the warehouse clerk from Lin Dong's supermarket.

Her family was poor, and she had always worked while studying. After Lin Dong fired her last time, she came to the school cafeteria and continued working part-time as a warehouse clerk.

In truth, with Su Xiaorou's looks, she had no shortage of admirers. She could easily find a boyfriend who would support her long-term.

But she wanted to support herself and had a strong sense of pride.

"The zombies... shouldn't be able to get in, right?" Su Xiaorou said in a trembling voice.

"Mm."

The chef nodded. "These zombies are stupid. They can't even get through the glass doors outside, let alone this locked storeroom door. They can't open it at all."

Hearing this, everyone thought it made sense and felt slightly relieved.

But just then.

With a thunderous "Bang!", a huge fist print bulged out from the sturdy iron door.

The outline of all five fingers was exceptionally clear, showing just how terrifyingly powerful the blow had been.

Naturally, the dirty, exhausting task of smashing down the door was Tank's job.

He raised his fist, as large as a sandbag, and slammed it into the iron door again.

"Bang!"

The entire door shook violently. Dust fell from all around, and another handprint was dented into the door.

The five people inside were all dumbfounded at the sight.

"W-What is that?"

"I don't know. Maybe the zombies mutated?"

"What? Run, run!"

"..."

Seeing that the iron door could not hold back the zombies, the five stumbled toward the corridor deeper inside. At the end of the corridor was a small freezer.

But they had barely taken a few steps when Tank threw another punch. With a crisp "Crash!", half the iron door was smashed apart.

His muscular body squeezed through the opening.

"My God!"

When they looked back, they were instantly shocked beyond measure. They had never seen such a powerful zombie before, and a chill ran through their hearts as terror overwhelmed them.

The chef held his boning knife, yet he ran the fastest.

He was the first to reach the freezer.

"Get in, quick! The zombies are coming!"

"Heh heh heh heh~~"

At that moment, a chilling laugh rang out in the dim corridor, like a ghost come to claim lives.

The chef looked closely and saw a thin figure behind Tank, baring her claws as she charged forward at incredible speed, like a gust of wind.

At this time, the male student from the young couple was running second and had also reached the freezer.

But his girlfriend and Su Xiaorou were at the very back.

"Honey, wait for me!" his girlfriend cried anxiously.

But the male student saw that the terrifying Female Zombie was already nearly behind her. There was simply no time.

"Close the door!"

The male student hardened his heart. The moment the third girl ran in, the three of them worked together, turned around, and pushed the freezer door shut...
