"First of all, because of the drinking water issue, please do not wash your face or brush your teeth for the next two days."
"Although it may be a little uncomfortable, it's better than dying of thirst or starvation."
"Everyone, eat something, but not too much, just enough to keep you from feeling hungry. Then we'll figure out how to leave."
Everyone nodded. Lu Yuan had unknowingly become a leader among them.
"Brother Yuan, do you have a way to get out of here?"
Faced with Gong Yuehan's question, Lu Yuan had no way to answer.
"There's always a way out."
"We four grown men can't just die from holding our pee, there's always a way!"
Lu Yuan always spoke so freely, and Gong Yuehan gradually got used to it.
It's like a man who always swears; other people eventually get used to it.
If one day this person suddenly becomes polite and refined, others might find it difficult to adjust.
The saying "habit becomes second nature" perfectly illustrates this point.
"Brother Yuan, I'm sorry!"
"Ye Shengnian is our team's vice-captain, so the blame lies with me!"
Gong Yuehan spoke while eating.
Why are you apologizing to me for no reason?
"If that's the case, then Ye Shengnian is someone I offended, and you're all still suffering because of me."
"We are a team, a collective. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate. There is no right or wrong."
"As long as we work together, I believe we will definitely be able to leave this place alive."
"I believe my luck won't be too bad!"
Lu Yuan's words were a double entendre; he was referring to his own cheat system.
Lu Yuan didn't know how many people in the world had a cheat code, but he certainly did.
“Brother Yuan, Ye Shengnian is petty and narrow-minded, so you can’t be blamed for this.”
“I knew from the beginning that he was targeting you, but I never expected him to be so vicious.”
"He actually came up with this kind of method to deal with us. He just wants us all to die here."
"Don't give me a chance to get out of here alive, or I'll tear him to pieces."
Gong Yuehan grew angrier the more she thought about it.
Looking at the somewhat indignant Gong Yuehan, Lu Yuan sighed inwardly.
This woman is too kind-hearted and a bit naive.
Before the apocalypse, this kind of personality would have been good, but now that it's the apocalypse, this kind of personality, confidence, and way of thinking is fatal.
For example, the main reason for this crisis is that Gong Yuehan's methods are not ruthless enough. Otherwise, how could a team have two businesses?
How could Ye Shengnian dare to form cliques? If it were Lu Yuan, such a person would no longer exist.
Ye Shengnian's actions against him were secondary; his main reason was to take his place.
"Yuehan, haven't you figured it out yet?"
"Ye Shengnian's targeting of me is one aspect, or rather, only a small part of it. The main reason is that he wants the Maple Leaf team."
"To put it simply, only if you die can he rightfully take over the Maple Leaf team. That's his goal."
"This person is ambitious and forms cliques, while I merely played a role in setting the stage and bringing the timeline forward."
Although Gong Yuehan is simple and kind, she lacks decisiveness, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.
On the contrary, she was very smart. In fact, he had long discovered Ye Shengnian's ambition, but Gong Yuehan had always wanted to change Ye Shengnian.
However, it's clear that she oversimplified things.
"Brother Yuan, it's all my fault. I fell asleep last night. If I hadn't overslept, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
Zhao Qiang felt very guilty.
Last night, he was actually very excited at first, constantly teasing and playing with the Azure Thunder Dragon.
But after a while, I got a little tired of it, and besides, I was really sleepy after walking all day.
Then I drifted off to sleep, mainly because I never expected something like this to happen.
Lu Yuan waved his hand.
Zhao Qiang certainly bears some responsibility for this, but he also bears some responsibility himself.
Others may not know Zhao Qiang, but Lu Yuan grew up with Zhao Qiang wearing open-crotch pants. Everyone knows that Zhao Qiang is greedy for food and sleep.
I didn't even consider that last night, which is why the following events happened.
"Forget it, there's no point in saying all this now."
"The main problem is that I didn't consider that. Let's go to the roof first and break down that door."
"Maybe there will be a way to leave."
"Walk!"
Lu Yuan finished eating the half-eaten compressed biscuit in his hand, picked up his large machete, and went out the door first.
Others followed suit.
Lu Yuan led the way, Gong Yuehan and Yu Huanshui were in the middle, and Zhao Qiang brought up the rear.
The four of them arrived at the top floor in no time.
The door in front of them was locked from the outside.
"Look, this door is locked from the outside, which means there must be a passage on the roof leading to other places."
As Lu Yuan spoke, he began to try to pull the door, but it remained firmly in place.
Zhao Qiang nodded, then shook his head; he didn't understand what Lu Yuan meant.
So he asked.
"So what?"
"Even if we find a way to other floors, we still won't be able to get out, right? There are zombies everywhere here."
"I feel it's the same wherever I go."
Lu Yuan glanced at Zhao Qiang, then at Gong Yuehan and Yu Huanshui.
Judging from the expressions of the three people, Lu Yuan knew that they all had almost the same thoughts.
So I began to patiently explain.
"This is different. If we can go to other floors, it's equivalent to leaving the core of danger."
"Then, once the blood here dries up, or it rains, these zombies will naturally disperse."
"Otherwise, if the zombies clear away those obstacles, we'll be facing direct danger."
"With our current level and strength, we probably won't last half an hour before becoming snacks for the zombies."
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he picked up a large cleaver and started chopping away.
Fortunately, the iron gate was only covered with a layer of iron sheet and was not very sturdy.
Before long, a hole was cut through the iron gate.
Lu Yuan reached out and touched it, and was delighted to find that it was only plugged in and not locked.
With a click, the latch was opened, and the iron gate swung open.
The long-awaited sunlight suddenly shone in, and although it was a bit dazzling, it did not dampen everyone's happy mood.
"Wow, it's finally open! Yuan-ge, you're awesome!"
Yu Huanshui immediately started flattering Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan smiled but didn't reply.
The four of them went up to the rooftop and looked down. The rooftop was teeming with zombies.
"My goodness! How can there be so many?"
"Even if zombies have a very keen sense of smell and are attracted by the blood, there shouldn't be this many!"
Looking at the army of zombies below, Zhao Qiang was so frightened that he kept complaining.
"That's normal, it's called the butterfly effect!"
