Chapter 91 Pei Qi: Cat's Great Escape
Ji Dong stared at his hands in silence, his throat choking with sobs as tears welled up in his eyes. He watched Lu Xuan's receding figure, mumbling absentmindedly, "Come back, all of you must come back safely..."
I don't want to lose another friend.
As soon as he rushed out of the auditorium, Lu Xuan immediately locked onto the teaching assistant standing on the side of the road, and pulled the teaching assistant under the eaves.
"Danger alert, everyone, please go to the shelter immediately."
Teaching assistants are not combat robots. When a crisis comes, they instinctively follow instructions and signal students to go to the shelter as soon as possible.
At this moment, Lu Xuan was not listening to any of these words. He hacked into the teaching assistant's system with ease. The last time he hacked into the system, he left a backdoor inside. He quickly hacked into the entire teaching assistant's system through the backdoor he left.
Ji Dong was right. It was unwise to rush out to rescue people. If he rushed out to look for him without any preparation, he might not only fail to save Pei Qi, but even lose his own life. The most urgent thing was to lock Pei Qi's location so that he could find him efficiently.
“Hiss—hiss.”
The video feedback kept coming back with a busy tone.
The monster had caused so much damage to the school that many of the surveillance lines were out of order. It would be a waste of time for him to check each one individually. He had to locate Pei Qi as soon as possible.
Seeing that checking the surveillance cameras was a dead end, Lu Xuan decided to take a different approach. He inserted Pei Qi's student ID card and said, "Scan the face and compare all the information."
The school's surveillance was indeed broken, but for Lu Xuan, the teaching assistants' eyes were undoubtedly walking cameras. The teaching assistants were like robots with strong bones. Even if they were accidentally injured by monsters and had their arms or legs broken, it would not affect their survival.
After all, they could not provide the flesh and blood that the monsters needed, and the monsters had little interest in nature.
After the frames of images were transmitted back, Lu Xuan's eyes lit up. He found it!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Pei Qi had just come down the corridor with Zhuo Jia when he saw Teacher Zhai leaning against the corner of the corridor. When he saw Teacher Zhai again, he was missing an arm. Looking at his empty sleeves, Pei Qi felt mixed emotions.
Zhai Heng's clean and tidy suit pants turned into casual "jeans" at this time, with holes on the left and right, and the exposed skin was covered with scratches. He seemed to have just experienced a life-and-death battle, and leaned against the wall exhausted.
Seeing this, Pei Qi hurried over and asked with concern, "Teacher Zhai, are you okay? Can you move?"
Zhai Heng slowly opened his eyes, exhausted. Seeing the children moving towards him one by one, he couldn't help but frown. "Why are you still here? Didn't you hear the announcement? It told you to go to the auditorium in Building 3. What are you doing standing here?"
"We're on our way there now, Mr. Zhai, please come with us." Pei Qi looked at him with concern.
"I'm not going there." Zhai Heng interrupted without hesitation.
Zhai Heng was afraid that they didn't know the way, so he pointed them in the direction and repeatedly urged them, "Okay, don't delay any longer. Hurry and get to the auditorium. There will be teachers there to protect you. If you keep wandering around outside, you might get eaten by a monster in no time!"
Zhuo Jia immediately understood what Pei Qi meant. He said awkwardly, "Teacher, if you don't go with us, as long as we go to the auditorium, we'll all be safe!"
"I'm not going."
Those monsters have an extremely keen sense of smell. He must be crazy to go to the auditorium with a bunch of kids. I'm afraid the monsters will find him before they even get to the auditorium!
In order to buy enough time for the children to escape, Zhai Heng has tried his best. The double mark on his body has been used to its limit. Once the mark disappears, his body function will immediately decline. By then, he will be a disabled person with a broken arm. Not only will he be unable to help, he will even become a burden to the children.
Zhai Heng didn't want this to happen.
Seeing that Zhai Heng refused to cooperate with the "work", Pei Maomao immediately puffed up his cheeks and said seriously: "Teacher Zhai, you can't be so willful! You clearly promised Yi Qi that you would go back! Adults can't lie to children!"
Zhai Heng: “…”
Zhai Heng never thought that the child took his excuse seriously.
Pei Qi firmly supported his arm, trying to help him stand up. The little fellow's expression was serious, and he even repeated the teacher's past teachings in a serious manner, "Didn't the teacher say that students should help each other? We should help students in need. This is how we treat our classmates, and we should also treat our teachers."
Unlike complex adults, children are always a blank piece of paper. The color of this blank piece of paper is closely related to the teachings of the people around them.
Perhaps seeing an adult, Xie Xuan's tense heart relaxed a lot. "Teacher Zhai, let's go together. Teacher Ding, she, she's dead. We're scared..."
Those eager eyes stared at him, making Zhai Heng feel particularly uncomfortable. He tried to reason with the children, "No, the teacher is injured and smells of blood. If you walk with me, you will be discovered by the monster faster. I can't accompany you on the rest of the journey. You have to face it alone."
He had lost an arm, and not only had his mobility been greatly reduced, but the double seals on his body had been used to their limit. From now on, he might not even have the strength to help out.
"Then teacher, are you planning to stay here and wait for death?" Pei Qi asked suddenly, his amber eyes seemed to see into his heart.
"Wouldn't it be such a shame to give up without fighting? Although we're not injured, the monsters have wings. We can't outrun them. No one can guarantee we can make it to the auditorium alive. We can only try our best and fight for the possibility of survival."
Pei Qi immediately helped him up. He called Zhuo Jia over and said, "Zhuo Jia, come with me and support Teacher Zhai."
“Okay!”
As Pei Qi's number one little brother, Zhuo Jia's main goal is to hit wherever he's pointed. If Brother Pei points east, I will never go west!
Zhai Heng resisted, but his resistance was ineffective.
The little fur balls struggled to carry him forward. To get from Building 1 to Building 3, they had to pass through Building 2. The two buildings were not far apart, only a few hundred meters.
However, before they could walk out, there were more than a dozen cockroaches eating standing under the corridor outside, which meant that if they walked straight through, they would collide head-on with the cockroaches.
Zhuo Jia turned around anxiously and asked, "Brother Pei, we can't get through with them guarding us!"
"They are concentrating on eating." Pei Qi calmed himself down and reminded them.
"We can hide in the shade and slowly make our way to Building 3. Building 2 and Building 3 are only a few hundred meters apart. As long as we don't make any noise, we won't alarm them. Besides, they're busy eating and might not notice us. If we take a detour, we'll have to walk even further. These monsters are running around the campus right now. There's no safe place here except the auditorium."
"I'm not going with you! I want to hide."
The little girl who had been standing behind Xie Xuan and Zhao Tong suddenly struggled. She fled from the team and tried to return to the classroom where she felt safe.
Pei Qi never expected her to suddenly run, "Hey!"
He had no time to catch the other person, and saw Yan Xue running upstairs like a flash.
Xie Xuan panicked. She quickly said, "I'm sorry, she might be too scared. I'll bring Yan Xue back right away and talk to her properly."
As she spoke, Xie Xuan made as if to turn back.
Zhai Heng suddenly grabbed her arm, his usually smiling face tensed at this moment, "Don't go."
"Kids, you have to listen to your teacher. I said, don't go!"
Xie Xuan's eyes were filled with struggle. She looked back hesitantly, "But Yan Xue is alone, I'm afraid of her..."
"I can't control it anymore."
"If you think you can defeat the monster, then go ahead. Otherwise, there's no point in going ahead. At most, it's a buy one get one free deal." Zhai Heng's tone suddenly became harsh.
Xie Xuan's eyes were full of struggle. Before she could turn around to look for Yan Xue, she heard a sharp scream from behind.
Zhai Heng's heart skipped a beat. It's bad!
Yan Xue's scream made the monsters that were eating stop and look towards the source of the sound.
