"Yeah, yeah! Qiao Suinian, you're so selfish! We all want to go to the auditorium, how can you not go?"

"You can't do this, Qiao Suinian! Classmates should help each other! Listen to my advice, come with us right now!"

"Exactly! You have to think about everyone else, sacrifice your own interests for the greater good! The more you talk about dedication, the higher the ideal becomes!"

Listening to these idiotic and morally manipulative remarks, Qiao Suinian was genuinely amused by these people.

These idiots think it's the end of the world?

Rejecting moral blackmail starts with me; it's everyone's responsibility.

Anyway, as long as I have no morals, you can't hold me hostage.

Qiao Suinian was too lazy to explain to these people, and simply drew his rusty longsword with a clang.

“If you want to leave, then leave on your own. If you keep nagging in front of me, then you’re not leaving. You can stay and keep Liu Zhixuan company.”

Everyone turned pale as they looked at Liu Zhixuan's blood-stained corpse beside them. Only then did they realize that Qiao Suinian was no pushover.

This guy is the kind of person who kills without hesitation.

The group that had just been morally blackmailing Qiao Suinian shrank back sheepishly, not daring to say anything more, and immediately turned and left.

After they left, many people pondered for a while and then decided to follow them.

Humans have an inherent tendency to conform.

When I see a long line, I want to go and see what's going on; when I see a crowd gathered, I want to go up and see what's happening and join in the fun.

When danger strikes, people subconsciously feel that crowded places are the safest.

A group of people filed out and headed towards the auditorium, leaving the classrooms empty.

Besides Qiao Suinian, the only ones willing to stay in the classroom were Feng Zhizhao and the four boys who had just helped him fight the human-headed centipede.

Of the four boys, Qiao Suinian only remembered that the skinny boy in the lead was named Jiang Ping, but he couldn't quite remember the other three.

"Are you sure you want to stay? Let me make this clear first, I'm not going to waste my energy protecting you." Qiao Suinian crossed her arms and looked indifferent.

"I'm sure!" Jiang Ping's expression was very firm, and the other three, who shared a dormitory with Jiang Ping, nodded in agreement when they saw how determined she was.

To Qiao Suinian's greatest surprise, Zuo Fangya also chose to stay.

"You're not going with them? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Qiao Suinian retorted.

"I...I'm scared! But I feel that I have a better chance of surviving if I follow you!" Zuo Fangya gritted her teeth and looked at Qiao Suinian with pleading eyes.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Suinian raised an eyebrow, and then her eyes suddenly turned cold.

He couldn't help but think of Lin Wanling from his previous life; she had looked at him in the same way back then...

"I advise you to stick with the main group. I don't have the energy to take care of a burden."

Qiao Suinian turned his head away with a cold face. In his opinion, Zuo Fangya's choice to stay was simply courting death.

"It's okay, I promise I won't be a burden to you!"

Zuo Fangya lowered her head with a hint of grievance, then picked up Liu Zhixuan's bloodstained knife from the ground.

Although she didn't successfully awaken her new class, she can still be used as a regular longsword without any problems.

However, it's hard to say how much fighting power Zuo Fangya would have with a knife.

At least in Qiao Suinian's opinion, there was no difference between Zuo Fangya with a knife and Zuo Fangya without a hand; both were weaklings.

Qiao Suinian ignored this stupid woman who was courting death, because at that moment, the zombie that had just bitten Long Qiang to death was already trembling as it walked towards them.

Its half-rotten body drooped down, making it look incredibly creepy.

[Ordinary Zombie]

[Level: 1]

[Strength: 5]

[Spirit: 2]

[Constitution: 10]

Agility: 5

Health Points: 100%

[Skill: Zombie Toxin (People scratched or bitten by zombies will also turn into zombies after being infected with the zombie toxin.)]

[These are the walking corpses that crawl out of the graveyard; they are vicious, irrational, and will devour the flesh and blood of living people or other animals.]

“Zombies are different from monsters like the human-headed centipede. This thing is a pure undead creature. To kill it, attacking its torso is useless; you have to cut off its head!”

"And when fighting zombies, you must be careful and absolutely avoid getting injured, or you'll be wandering the streets with them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Suinian and the little skeleton cooperated to once again demonstrate what the art of combat truly means.

The little skeleton rushed forward and grabbed the zombie by the neck with a chokehold. The zombie snapped its jaws shut and bit the little skeleton's skeleton.

Sizzle!

The saliva between the zombie's teeth acted like highly concentrated sulfuric acid, directly corroding the little skeleton's white bones into black, sizzling and emitting white smoke.

Qiao Suinian lunged forward, his rusty longsword delivering a clean and swift strike that severed the zombie's head. He then channeled his life force to revive the zombie in a ghostly blue flame.

The entire process was so smooth and elegant, it was as if a Michelin five-star chef was preparing a steak, not a battle.

[Hint: Dead Men's current progress is 2/100.]

[Hint: The current kill progress of the Evil God's Power is 3/100.]

[Note: A regular zombie has been killed, gaining 10 experience points. The power of the evil god has taken effect, increasing all player attributes by 0.1 points.]

"So...so strong!" Jiang Ping murmured to himself, his eyes shining.

“Yeah, I think we made the right decision to stay!” Jiang Ping’s roommate, Li Chaoge, couldn’t help but sigh. “Besides, Qiao Suinian is all bark and no bite, didn’t you notice? He’s been teaching us how to deal with those monsters!”
