Chapter 613 No Survival Experience

Shen Lin was speechless after hearing my words, completely unsure how to explain the matter to me. I was too lazy to explain anything further to him, so I said, "I have already made things very clear to you. As for how you want to deal with me, that is your business. If you want to get rid of me, I have no objection."

After saying that, I went out and left. I was prepared to back down from this matter.

Hu Fei followed me outside and asked, "What exactly happened just now? Did Liu Tian really try to kill you?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, he did try to kill me just now. The details are what I just described. Let's get ready; I don't think they'll let me stay here any longer."

Hu Fei asked, "So, are we going to retreat?"

I said, "Maybe, but Liu Tian is already dead, and we don't know who will take over the school's affairs. But if someone does take over, we'll just have to play guerrilla warfare with them."

Hu Fei said with a wry smile, "Does this mean we're doomed? There are so many of them, and there are only two of us. Wouldn't it be too disadvantageous to fight them like this? Why don't we just take the school and escape tonight? Staying here is just suffering."

I said, "You can't say that. When I went out with them before, I found that these people had very little experience in surviving outside and had no idea how to deal with the zombie horde. What I said up there just now was true. If it weren't for me, those people would have been dead long ago."

"So if we really want to fight a guerrilla war, we still have a great chance of wiping them all out. Once we've scared them into submission, they naturally won't dare to attack the school anymore."

Hu Fei agreed with my point of view after hearing this, and said, "What you said makes sense. When I went out with them before, they didn't seem to know much about the zombies outside. They basically had no experience in surviving outside. Apart from the one in charge who was cautious, the others were all like clueless greenhorns, as if it was their first time looking for something."

I said with a puzzled look, "Yes, their situation is indeed rare. It's been a year since the zombie outbreak, but they don't seem to have much experience surviving outside. There must be something fishy going on. According to Zhang De from the school, Liu Tian was the first person to survive in this office building, but even he didn't have much survival experience. I really don't know how he survived."

A short while later we returned to the second floor. Then, Hu Fei looked at Fan Xian not far away and said, "Should we go over and ask him? Maybe he knows something."

I looked at Fan Xian. This guy took a pack of cigarettes from me before he brought us in. I figured he must know a lot about office buildings.

We approached him, and Fan Xian, seeing us, asked, "You two came downstairs? What happened upstairs just now?"

I asked in surprise, "Didn't you go up to check?"

Fan Xian shook his head: "No, I heard gunshots. A lot of people went up, but I was afraid something would happen, so I didn't dare to go up."

What a coward!

I said, "You'll find out about what happened up there later, Brother Fan. We've come to you to ask you some questions."

Fan Xian took out a cigarette and asked while taking a puff, "Go ahead and ask, what's the matter?"

I asked, "About this office building, how long have you lived here? Do you often go out?"

Fan Xian thought for a moment and said, "I've lived here for almost half a year now. I don't usually go out much. Anyway, about a month ago, we basically didn't leave from here."

Hu Fei and I exchanged a surprised glance, then asked, "If we don't go out, how will you eat?"

Fan Xian said, "The fourth and fifth floors here used to be large supermarkets, and there was also a warehouse. There weren't many people here to begin with, so basically nothing happened. Few new people joined, so the supermarket had enough food for us to eat for a long time. I heard from them that Liu Tian lived here from the beginning, and he and some other people made a living from the supermarket's food, which lasted for quite a while."

I then asked, "And now? Is there any food left in the supermarket?"

Fan Xian shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. People like us who live on the second floor basically have no chance to see what's going on on the fourth or fifth floor, so I don't know exactly how much food is left up there."

"Anyway, the higher-ups have been telling us to go out and find our own food for the past month. No matter what we do, as long as we find food, that's fine. Judging from this situation, there shouldn't be much food left up there, otherwise there would be no need to send us to our deaths."

I thought about it, but I couldn't figure it out.

I don't know how much food is left on the fourth or fifth floor, but I believe there is definitely some left, though not much, just enough for emergencies. That's why people upstairs send those downstairs out to find food.

I only started this survival mode a month ago, no wonder I'm so unfamiliar with it.

I asked, "So you've been staying in the office building the whole time without going out? And you haven't killed any zombies?"

Fan Xian nodded, "Yeah, anyway, there was food and drink in the building back then, who would want to go out and face those zombies? We're not stupid, why would we go out and die?"

Come to think of it, who would want to go to their death when they have food and drink? What happens outside is none of their business; they just want to survive.

Thinking back to my past self, I was truly adrift and wandering just to survive.

However, the drawbacks of their actions are too great. Instead of facing reality, they retreat to one place to live a comfortable life, which will only make them more unfamiliar with the world in the end.

That's why Liu Tiancai was helpless in the face of difficulties before, because he had no survival experience at all.

So, Liu Tian's exploitation of the school was actually his own idea, and had nothing to do with those above him?

After thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true. If Liu Tian really received orders from above to exploit the school, why have the people here never mentioned it?

It seems that this was indeed Liu Tian's own idea.

If that's the case, then things will be much easier. Liu Tian is already dead, so there's basically no danger at the school anymore.
