The group exchanged knowing glances, needing no words to understand that the others were players.

After all, even in university, you don't see people who look that old!

If there are two Xiao Jins, they are probably both around fifty years old.

Xiao Jin's spot was right near the window, and she rested her chin on her hand, looking out the window.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and the young men and women walking below were full of vitality, truly a picture of peaceful and idyllic life.

However, upon seeing this scene, Xiao Jin felt no tremor in her heart; instead, a strange gloom welled up in her mind.

It seemed as if something bad was about to happen.

Xiao Jin slowly sat up straight, her eyes filled with an unreadable emotion. She always trusted her intuition.

Just as Xiao Jin was considering whether to skip class and leave, the system notification arrived late.

[World loading...]

[Mode: Natural Disaster]

Main Quest: Successfully survive in the zombie world for 7 days. Reward: 5000 points and 1 Red Maple Fruit.

Side Quest: Hunt down Level 1 zombies (0/100), Level 2 zombies (0/50), and Level 3 zombies (0/10). Rewards for completing all quests: points, 3 Enhancement Stones, and 3 Spirit Stones.

If only part of the task is completed, points will be awarded based on the number of zombies killed.

Players will be able to trigger more quests on their own...

[The game has officially begun]

As soon as the notification appeared, all the players' expressions changed drastically. Xiao Jin clenched his hands tightly, veins bulging, and his eyes were terrifying.

Why did it have to be...?

"Huh? What happened?"

Suddenly, a commotion abruptly pulled Xiao Jin back from the depths of her thoughts.

She looked up abruptly and found that everyone around her had their mouths slightly agape in astonishment, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Suddenly, a figure sprang up from the seat with astonishing speed.

Immediately afterwards, the figure leaped over the desk without hesitation, grabbed the backpack slung over the back of the chair, and moved with the fluidity of a rehearsal, reaching the classroom door in the blink of an eye.

This scene was too sudden and too dramatic.

Those who knew him, including his friends who usually joked and laughed with him, stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

What... what are they doing? Skipping class in public?

Even the teacher who was speaking eloquently on the podium was stunned. His mouth was half open, and his eyes first showed astonishment, and then turned into raging anger.

"How dare you!" The teacher finally reacted, and his angry shout echoed in the empty classroom.

However, the fleeing figure had already disappeared outside the door, leaving only a series of footsteps fading into the distance and an uproar in the classroom.

"Which class is this person from? What's their name? Class monitor, step forward." The teacher finished speaking and slammed the book in her hand onto the lectern.

The people around looked at each other, especially the few people next to the escapee, who were practically burying their heads under the desk.

"This is outrageous! I'm still up there. We don't need to continue this class. Class monitor, you should also call your advisor over..."

The class monitor of Class 3, who was called out, had no choice but to stand up with a wry smile, announcing the names, classes, and student IDs of the truants while making a phone call to his own advisor.

The male teacher was so angry he could hardly breathe, and was about to unleash a torrent of abuse when something unexpected happened.

At this critical moment, seven or eight more people suddenly rushed out from the crowd.

They didn't utter a sound either, and ran away.

The male teacher's mouth trembled, and the other students' expressions changed.

Good heavens, these guys are real heroes!

If the first person to run away angered the teacher, then the others who followed undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, drawing all the hatred onto themselves.

Those around him lowered their heads in silence, but in reality, they were secretly lighting candles in their hearts.

Brother, rest in peace...

"Oh no! Someone jumped off a building!!"

One wave subsides only for another to rise.

The male teacher was trembling with anger, his face turned green, and he was about to take out his phone when he heard a loud shout in his ear.

He shuddered suddenly, but this time not from anger, but from fear.

"What the hell is going on...?"

"Oh no, did Lao Xu offend the public? Is his speech really that bad that someone jumped off a building after listening to it?"

While everyone's attention was focused on the students who had escaped, Xiao Jin also made his move.

She reacted quickly; the moment the first player ran out of the classroom, Xiao Jin had already stood up, one foot already on the windowsill.

This instance is a zombie-infested world, and the worst thing you can do is rush into crowds.

Where is this? It's a school!

A densely populated disaster area.

Xiao Jin's mind flashed through those zombie movies: schools, hospitals, dense office buildings... the outbreak points were basically all in these places.

What are we still doing here?

They're all veteran players, and they're very decisive in their actions.

The rest of the people knew the moment they saw the notice that they had to leave the school immediately.

Forget about classes; every extra second you run is a minute more safe.

Xiao Jin did the same, except that while the other players chose to leave via the stairs, her method was somewhat 'unusual'.

The lecture hall was on the third floor, and from Xiao Jin's position, she could clearly see the school gate.

Turning a corner is never as fast as going straight. It was only three floors; Xiao Jin didn't even blink before jumping down.

Unfortunately, Xiao Jin's movements were not subtle, and she was noticed by the person next to her as soon as she stood up.

He initially thought she had something to say to the teacher, but then she turned around and jumped off the building. He was so scared he almost lost his mind.

Upon hearing his shout, the players near the window all looked down, and then everyone gaped in astonishment.

The figure below landed on the ground with a 'whoosh,' as lightly as a feather.

Moreover, the other party straightened up without pausing for a moment and ran very fast into the distance, disappearing from their sight in no time, becoming as small as a sesame seed.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

After a long pause, a voice murmured, "What was the world sprint record again...?"

Leaving the classroom, Xiao Jin rushed towards the school gate, leaving the players who had initially fled behind.

Just as she was halfway there, Xiao Jin's ears twitched slightly, and then she suddenly stopped.

She stood facing the building on the other side, her gaze fixed on the corner at the back.

That spot is located at the junction of two buildings, and it's usually completely shaded and never gets any sunlight.

Therefore, when the sun is shining brightly in the summer, students often hide there to cool off.
