After walking for a while, the admiration in Duan Ziyue's eyes grew stronger.
She witnessed firsthand how Xiao Jin led her, bit by bit, through the zombie-infested school.
With Xiao Jin leading the way, she was just like a mood-maker.
From initial fear and trepidation to almost applauding and cheering later on.
However, Duan Ziyue couldn't help but look back at the location of the cafeteria behind her...
On the other side, Xiao Jin leaned against a tree; it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.
Although it was afternoon, the heat had not dissipated and the temperature remained high.
Having found a piece of clothing from somewhere, Xiao Jin used it to wipe away the tattered clothes. Seemingly sensing Duan Ziyue's thoughts, Xiao Jin slowly spoke.
"Are you worried?"
Duan Ziyue turned around. She knew she shouldn't have said those words, but she just couldn't help it.
"Yes, not just those in the cafeteria, I'm also worried about the people in the teaching building. They don't have any food, and I don't know if they can hold on."
Duan Ziyue bit her lip: "Damn zombies, damn black rain."
As she spoke, she looked up, her eyes glistening with tears: "Brother, do you think we did something wrong? Why is God punishing us like this?"
Xiao Jin paused for a moment, then resumed wiping the area.
She lowered her head, her eyes revealing an unreadable emotion.
“Wrong… Hah~” A mocking laugh escaped her lips.
Whose fault is it? Humanity's? Or that damned survival game!
"Perhaps!" Xiao Jin didn't say more, after all, the survival game was a secret.
She stood up: "You don't need to worry. The rescue team will be here in a few hours. Your teacher and the others won't starve."
"Really? That's great!" Duan Ziyue jumped up and down, her face immediately breaking into a smile.
As for why Xiao Jin didn't tell the people in the cafeteria the news, what a joke! Did she think she was stupid? Couldn't she see such an obvious intention?
Xiao Jin did it on purpose; she had a perverse sense of humor and wanted to see them anxious and helpless.
Just as the two were talking, a sudden, deafening roar, like a thunderclap, exploded from the deep interior of the stadium.
The voice contained boundless killing intent, as if a sleeping beast had been suddenly awakened, ready to break free of its restraints and wreak havoc in all directions.
Xiao Jin's figure suddenly stopped, and her eyes instantly became serious, sharp and alert like a hawk in the cold night.
Before he could offer a single explanation, Xiao Jin swiftly drew the Shadow Dagger from his waist and shoved it into Duan Ziyue's trembling hand.
"Listen, be quiet, don't speak, or you'll have to hold onto the knife tightly if you don't want to die."
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jin lifted Duan Ziyue up, leaped to the side, and steadily placed her on the basketball backboard.
The moment she jumped, Duan Ziyue's heart nearly leaped out of her chest, and fear surged like a tidal wave.
But she forced herself to calm down and firmly remembered Xiao Jin's words—"Don't make a sound!"
Duan Ziyue covered her mouth tightly with one hand and gripped the dagger tightly with the other, her eyes filled with terror, nodding repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
Just as Xiao Jin had settled Duan Ziyue in, a series of heavy and urgent "thump thump thump" sounds came from the gymnasium.
Like the beating of war drums, it vibrated every inch of the air.
The sound grew louder as it approached, carrying an indescribable sense of oppression, as if some enormous creature was rushing towards them at an astonishing speed.
Xiao Jin stood still, holding a long sword, the blade gleaming blindingly in the sunlight, his gaze fixed on the half-closed door of the gymnasium.
The roars inside the stadium grew increasingly deafening, and accompanied by heavy footsteps, a tall, dark figure suddenly rushed out from the door.
The opponent wasn't fast, but it was huge, and it smashed the stadium door open.
Countless stones, planks, and glass flew out.
Xiao Jin looked closely and realized that it was a huge zombie.
It was about three meters tall, with muscles as big as a small mountain, and bloodshot eyes that looked like they could drip blood.
It stared intently at Xiao Jin, a ferocious smile curling at the corner of its mouth, and strode over with great strides, rumbling like an earthquake.
With each step, the blue bricks on the ground could not withstand the enormous force and shattered, raising a cloud of dust and debris.
Ah~
Duan Ziyue sat on the basketball hoop and couldn't help but gasp in surprise, tears of fear welling up in her eyes.
She had never seen such a terrifying creature before, and her heart was instantly filled with endless astonishment and bewilderment. 'What is that?'
Immediately, she looked down at Xiao Jin, her eyes filled with deep worry and helplessness.
He wanted to shout for her to run, but his throat felt locked, and he could only make a weak, trembling sound.
In the end, Duan Ziyue could only choose to believe Xiao Jin and silently prayed that Xiao Jin would be safe and sound.
On the other hand, Xiao Jin, unlike her usual calm and composed demeanor, revealed a hint of joy in her eyes.
As expected, it was a level 2 zombie, and she knew this trip wouldn't be in vain.
After almost a day, it finally appeared!
Xiao Jin quickly adjusted his breathing, tensed his muscles, and swung his long sword with a flick of his wrist.
"Come on, let me see what you're made of."
Xiao Jin's eyes sharpened instantly. Without hesitation, he pulled out the 'Wheel of Destiny', lightly tapped the trigger, and a series of crisp gunshots shattered the deathly silence.
The bullet streaked across the night sky like a meteor, carrying scorching sparks, and struck the level 2 zombie in front of it with perfect accuracy.
Each shot embedded itself deeply into its decaying body, igniting a series of chilling sparks.
"There's hope!" Xiao Jin thought to himself.
It seems that despite the zombie's enormous size, its defenses are not as impenetrable as I had imagined.
Without a moment's hesitation, Xiao Jin moved swiftly, like a nimble cheetah, and quickly circled around to the zombie's massive body.
Compared to this behemoth, Xiao Jin appeared small and fragile, like a delicate toy doll.
However, the opponent's enormous size also limited its speed.
Xiao Jin leaped and dodged with agility, each time perfectly avoiding the zombie's rotten flesh arm that swung like a giant hammer.
At the same time, the sharp blade in Xiao Jin's hand gleamed coldly. She seized the opportunity, exerted her strength suddenly, and the blade flashed like lightning, slashing fiercely at the knee of the level 2 zombie.
Accompanied by the zombie's deafening roar, a crimson column of blood gushed out, exposing the stark white bones.
The zombie's roar was a mixture of pain and rage, and its massive body swayed involuntarily.
Xiao Jin planned to press his advantage, but his previous strike had been too weak and hadn't severed its lower leg.
