Chapter 142 She Can Do It
Ji Zai frowned.
It just so happens to be at this time.
She glanced at the approaching rain and paused. "Never mind, let's check our surroundings and see if those two people are there. If not, then let's just forget about it."
"never mind?"
Upon hearing this, someone asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'forget it,' and 'don't look anymore'? Can't we go out and look for it?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zai glanced at the speaker but did not reply.
But this attitude sent a chill down one's spine.
Ouyang Yi explained, "We won't go out to search. It's not just this rain, but the same goes for future rains. If it's zombies, we can fight them, but if it's something that threatens our lives, we won't go. We don't need to be responsible for other people's lives."
Although it sounds harsh to say it.
But that's just how it is.
Living in the apocalypse, they had to be prepared to die at any moment.
In the apocalypse, no one will be responsible for your life, and you cannot expect others to protect you with a clear conscience.
If you really die, then you can only blame your bad luck.
The scene was deathly silent.
It seems they haven't yet recovered from those cruel words.
Seeing this, Ji Zai sneered, "Although we are living quite well now, you haven't really forgotten the fact that we are still in the apocalypse, have you?"
“What Ouyang Yi said is exactly what I wanted to say.”
“I will not be responsible for anyone’s life, and no one will be responsible for you. And if something like this happens again in the future, I will not save you.”
"If you still have any dependency mentality at this moment, then you'd better pray for your own good fortune. I don't want to play house with you."
Ji Zai's words immediately plunged everyone's hearts to rock bottom.
ah.
Because they were living too comfortably.
That's why they felt an almost self-righteous sense of ease.
They always thought that the school was no different from before, that the school would protect them, that the leader of the alliance would protect them, and that no matter what happened, someone would come to save them.
But now, Ji Zai is blatantly telling them that she is not as noble as she seems.
She will let go of the people she should let go of.
She won't save people she shouldn't save.
No one would risk their life to save someone.
Nobody would.
Only you can save yourself.
This made them truly feel the chill of the apocalypse.
As long as they remain unrescued, their lives continue to teeter on the brink of collapse.
After a moment of silence, a voice rang out, "They're back! They're back!"
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The power grid has been cleared.
Nan Yao and Manman ran towards Building 4.
Ji Zai saw the two figures from upstairs. When they ran into Building 4, she looked away. "That's it for today. No one is allowed to leave the dormitory during the rain. Without my order, you are not allowed to take a single step out."
“If anyone disobeys this order, I will isolate them.”
"If any reanimated corpses are discovered, kill them without mercy."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed again.
Ji Zai didn't look at them, but said to Ouyang Yi, "Go to the warehouse later and get the food, a month's worth for each person."
"Furthermore, throw all the compressed biscuits in the warehouse to Building 5, so they don't have any left."
Ouyang Yi nodded.
After doing all that, Ji Zai looked at the others and said, "Go get the food, then lock the dormitory doors tightly. No one is allowed to come out without orders."
"yes."
The record's attitude was too serious, which instilled fear in people for no reason.
Add to that her cold-heartedness just now.
That sense of fear was spreading unconsciously.
Even the leader of the alliance is afraid of this rain.
Just how terrible was this rain?
Could this be a new nightmare?
Ji Zai went to get the food and then returned to his dormitory.
Soon, Liang Qiyue returned. She had gone to find out what was going on with Nan Yao, and seeing that Nan Yao was alright, she came back.
As soon as she returned, she saw Ji Zai cooking porridge. She sat down and asked, "Alliance Leader, are we really not allowed to go out anymore?"
"No, we must keep the doors and windows tightly closed and not let a single drop of rain seep in."
Ji Zai's tone turned serious as he continued, "The last rain made the zombies' bite force stronger, and their strength also increased. So how strong do you think this rain will make the zombies this time?"
"What if even we are no match for them?"
Upon hearing this hypothesis, Liang Qiyue felt a chill run down her spine. "Impossible! Old Ji, don't be so serious, it's scary. I didn't see you being this serious when you blew up the principal's head."
"Could this be even more serious than blowing up the principal's head?"
Ji Zai nodded affirmatively, "This time the zombies are even more serious than the principal's head. I'm afraid that when I come out again, the campus will be full of zombies again."
Liang Qiyue was shocked. They were living a very comfortable life, but when they were too comfortable, they would go to the school gate to look at the zombies.
They called it adding some excitement to themselves so they wouldn't forget the horror of zombies.
But they just looked at them; they didn't want to see them again.
Upon hearing Ji Zai's words, Liang Qiyue felt a chill run down her spine. "The zombies really can become that strong? That's an iron gate!"
Ji Zai was silent for a while, "It's only a matter of time before zombies evolve into creatures that can devour rusty iron pieces in one bite. After all, the zombie virus is designed to stimulate the potential of the human body. The stronger a person's potential is, the stronger the zombie will be."
"Some people have unleashed amazing potential due to disasters. The stronger that potential was, the stronger the zombies became."
Liang Qiyue asked curiously, "How strong is that person's potential?"
"During the flood, someone was unfortunately trapped under a car. His mother was extremely anxious. In a moment of desperation, she lifted the car with one hand and successfully rescued her child."
"Zombies are unkillable; they're impervious to swords and bullets. Aside from burning them to ashes, there's almost no other way to kill them. So, what if an unkillable zombie also possessed this power...?"
Before Ji Zai could finish speaking, Liang Qiyue murmured, "Then all of humanity will be doomed. Just one bomb will destroy everything."
She realized, "So that's why you were so scared, Leader. Are you really so sure that the zombies will turn out the way you described?"
“It’s confirmed.” Ji Zai nodded. “The reason why special training camps exist is to tap into human potential. Those things that you find terrifying are the abilities we want to acquire.”
"Lifespan, strength, wisdom..."
"The zombies have already shown the first two characteristics. As for the last one, I pray it won't appear. Once the zombies truly develop intelligence, that would be a terrifying thing."
This is more than just terrifying.
This is something that terrifies all of humanity.
Zombies can't die, they're strong, and if they also have intelligence, then who can say whether they are zombies or evolved humans?
No one can say for sure.
Liang Qiyue found it increasingly terrifying the more she thought about it.
How come she never realized before that the situation in Ning City was really this bad?
Fear arose spontaneously.
Ji Zai said frankly, "Liang Qiyue, if things really get to a bad point, I will activate a nuclear explosion and destroy the entire city."
"I think that's why the higher-ups made me stay in Ning City."
The records show that they were not afraid of the evolution of zombies.
She had already feared what she should have feared at the very beginning of the apocalypse.
At that time, she had already considered the worst possible outcome for Ning City.
It's nothing more than destruction.
It was nothing more than making Ji Zai personally raise the butcher's knife and personally kill the remaining survivors.
She can do it.
