Cultivating Immortality in the Apocalypse

When the apocalypse descends, a zombie crisis emerges, and strange anomalies appear.

It's merely a game for those who cannot be directly seen. The hope of the dying is also the biggest va...

Chapter 39 Rescue

Li Xuanzu and his companion arrived in front of a middle school.

There were many zombies inside. Because it was a boarding school, almost all the students and teachers were in this school. However, the reason Li Xuanzu came here was that he sensed that there were still many survivors in the school.

There are even psionicists, and more than one.

The school looked rather old, and with black filth everywhere, it looked no different from an abandoned school in a horror novel from a distance.

There weren't many zombies inside the school, but there were a lot of zombies on the outskirts, and most of them were level one, with quite a few level two zombies as well.

Li Xuanzu headed straight for the location of the survivors, which was the school cafeteria.

It was lunchtime, so there were people eating in the cafeteria.

A handsome boy in a school uniform is using a large ladle to scoop rice and water mixture from a large pot into dozens of bowls.

It's clear they wanted porridge, but there was so little rice in it that calling it porridge is a stretch.

"Why is there less porridge today? If this keeps up, we'll starve to death here." A girl held a bowl of "porridge," frowning and complaining incessantly.

"That's right. With such a small amount of food intake every day, even the zombies might not be happy to eat us." A boy chimed in.

Then more than thirty people complained at the same time.

The boy serving the porridge seemed to be used to this kind of scene. He sighed and said nothing.

None of them noticed Li Xuanzu, but Li Xuanzu was able to capture detailed images through his divine sense, and even hear the voices clearly.

Li Xuanzu then noticed that the boy was actually a second-tier psionicist, which was quite interesting.

Not long after clearing out some zombies on campus, Li Xuanzu headed straight for the cafeteria.

... ...

The boy's name was Gu Pengyun, and like Ouyang Ningxue, he came from an ancient martial arts family.

He was already handsome and skilled in martial arts. On his way home, he saw a thug attempting to commit a crime, defeated him, and saved a girl from school.

Then, his martial arts skills spread like wildfire, becoming known to everyone in the school.

Because he was usually very low-key at school, after this incident, many people were not convinced and came to challenge him to a duel, but he defeated them all. He also met a girl he liked, and the two of them, a perfect match, got together.

Not long after, the apocalypse arrived. Fortunately, he was in his dormitory at the time. After hearing the strange noise, he went out to check and found that many people had been infected and turned into zombies. He directly removed one of the support pipes of the iron bed and killed several zombies.

But there were just too many people at the school, and he couldn't possibly clear them all by himself. As a result, when he returned to his dormitory, his roommate locked him out, and he was forced to deal with the zombies for a long time.

Fortunately, the zombies were stiff in the early stages of the apocalypse, so he didn't sleep for a whole day, didn't have a single wound on his body, and even killed more than ten zombies.

They then organized a large number of students and teachers into teams to clear out the zombies in the school and reinforced the walls around the school, turning the entire school into a fortress.

But Gu Pengyun never even considered going out, because he had witnessed the zombies' movements and found them extremely stiff. He believed that the country's rescue efforts would be very swift, and even the local police station could clear out all the zombies.

The idea was good, but the unexpected twist of fate led to a massive horde of zombies outside the school, completely surrounding it and turning the unsupplied school into a giant coffin.

With his extraordinary courage and martial prowess, Gu Pengyun became a first-tier psionicist in just a few days. He then quickly eliminated a second-tier zombie near the school and absorbed its spirit core to become a second-tier psionicist as well.

But every day, people die because of zombies that sneak over the city walls, and some people, seeing the dense hordes of zombies outside, lose the will to live and choose to end their lives prematurely.

The school, which once had a thousand students, now only has a few dozen left.

"I'm here to help with the rescue. The zombies outside have been mostly cleared out. Let's go," Li Xuanzu said, pushing open the slightly ajar door of the cafeteria and knocking.
