With a deafening shattering sound, the zombie broke through the remaining shards of glass and, like a kite with a broken string, fell directly from the window, crashing to the ground floor with a 'bang'.
This sudden movement, however, was like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples.
At the other end of the floor, the zombies, which had been sleeping, seemed to have been awakened as demons. Their movements were stiff and rapid, carrying an indescribable terrifying power, as they all turned towards Xiao Jin's location.
Footsteps, dragging sounds, and chilling screams mingled together.
Behind Xiao Jin was an empty space, while in front of her was a torrent of zombies, but she felt no anxiety whatsoever.
Then, Xiao Jin calmly drew out the Shattered Shadow Blade, and with a flash of light, he firmly embedded the blade into the wall beside him.
She used the momentum to push off, deftly using the shattered shadow as a fulcrum to grab the knife handle, suspending herself in mid-air on the edge of the building.
The horde of zombies in the stairwell were completely unaware, falling one after another from the open windows, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Jin moved swiftly, leaping lightly through the window like a nimble cat, and then calmly pulled the fragmented shadow from the wall.
With a flash of cold light, Xiao Jin moved nimbly and cleared away the remaining zombies wandering in the corridor.
Then, she quietly approached the classroom door and peered inside through the small window in the door.
The dimly lit classroom was filled with zombies, some staggering, some dazed, wandering aimlessly.
Xiao Jin scanned the room one by one, but couldn't find Duan Ziyue's figure.
She checked not only Class 6, but also the neighboring Class 5 and Class 7, but still found nothing.
Of course, it's not impossible that Duan Ziyue is somewhere else.
But for Xiao Jin, in a densely populated place like the school, if she didn't see the zombie-like Duan Ziyue in her class, then there was a high probability that she was still alive.
It's a good thing we can't find it.
With light and slow steps, Xiao Jin stepped onto the side stairs.
There are no classrooms on the fifth floor, only meeting rooms, computer labs, the principal's office, and the accounting office.
Before she even went up, Xiao Jin's eyes lit up.
She looked at the stairwell blocked by tables and chairs, and the zombies hiding behind them, and thought to herself: There's hope!
Xiao Jin thought to herself, "Such a big school, surely there must be a single survivor."
Judging from this, they must have all taken refuge on the fifth floor.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jin stepped forward and, before the zombies could react, hacked them all to death with his knife.
As for the tables and chairs blocking the entrance, there was no need to move them. Xiao Jin teleported past the table wall and appeared inside.
However, as soon as Xiao Jin stood still, two sharp gusts of wind came from the front, like venomous snakes lurking in the dark night suddenly striking, making people's hearts tremble.
Meanwhile, the sound of the wind was mixed with the gasps of the surrounding crowd.
"Wait a minute..."
Xiao Jin reacted quickly, raising his long sword in the blink of an eye and holding it horizontally in front of his chest.
Immediately afterwards, two crisp and loud metallic clanging sounds erupted in the air—clang!
The two arrows, swift as lightning, were cleanly cleaved in two by Xiao Jin's precise sword strike.
The broken arrow, still carrying some force, whizzed and embedded itself in the wall not far away, its fletching swaying slightly.
The person on the other end seemed stunned; the space was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Xiao Jin's gaze was sharp as she raised an eyebrow and looked ahead, finally fixing on a few astonished faces a few steps away.
Two students, still wearing sportswear, were holding bows and arrows. Although they looked rather young, their two arrows were quite skillful.
Behind them was an adult man carrying a bow on his back, who appeared to be their coach.
He was the one who just spoke up to stop them.
Besides, there were three or four people who looked like teachers standing nearby, some of whom had blood on their bodies.
Their mouths were agape, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Wait... where did this person come from?!
The black rain turned some of the humans into zombies, and the first to be attacked were the people outside the school and the first-floor classrooms closest to the entrance.
After things got chaotic downstairs, some of the school leaders protected the students and took refuge on the fifth floor.
The fifth floor is usually sparsely populated and empty, so no zombies have entered.
After the remaining people entered the fifth floor, they blocked the east and west stairwells to prevent the zombies below from coming up.
But just now, a loud crash of shattering glass came from downstairs.
The teachers were on tenterhooks. After calming the other students down, they went out to find the patrolling students.
Yes, they not only blocked the entrances and exits, but also stationed people to guard the stairwells.
The patrol consisted of members of the school's sports department, as well as many teachers and students, including members of the archery club. They were armed with sharp weapons and served as excellent protectors.
Of course, it all depends on voluntariness.
If students are really scared, they don't have to participate.
As the sound grew closer, the teachers and students waiting at the stairwell became extremely nervous.
They pursed their lips, and two students holding bows and arrows aimed them forward. Hearing the 'thump, thump' sounds outside, accompanied by the roars of zombies, their faces turned pale.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in their line of sight.
Anyone would be startled if they suddenly saw a living person appear out of nowhere.
The two students, who were already inexperienced, flinched and shot the arrows.
Their instructors had sharp eyes; after all, they were archers. They quickly realized that Xiao Jin wasn't a zombie and immediately spoke up to stop him.
But it was too late; the arrow had already been shot.
Just as he stared wide-eyed, thinking Xiao Jin would be splattered with blood on the spot, the young man opposite him was holding such a long knife that the blade was so bright it was dazzling.
With two swift movements, she severed the arrow that had just been fired.
This scene completely stunned everyone.
"Ah...this..."
The coach scratched his head, wondering whether he should be puzzled by how the person had appeared out of nowhere, or applaud and praise her for her brilliant catch!
At that moment, a kind-looking middle-aged woman walked out from behind.
She looked at Xiao Jin warily, but her words weren't aggressive. The woman pulled the two students to the back.
He spoke with great respect: "May I ask... what brings you here?"
Xiao Jin's special abilities are obvious to all. With zombies appearing, having a superpower that allows him to pass through walls is nothing special.
The woman dared not anger Xiao Jin, as she had so many students behind her, and could only secretly hope that Xiao Jin was not a bad person.
Sensing the wariness in the other person's eyes, Xiao Jin didn't explain anything, but directly stated her purpose.
"I'm here to find someone."
Looking for someone? The crowd exchanged bewildered glances.
The woman secretly observed Xiao Jin's eyes, but found nothing.
Then a thought struck her: "Are they here to look for their child?"
The woman was immediately met with a speechless look from Xiao Jin. Nonsense, this is a school, if I don't come to find the child, who else would I come to find!
