With a creak, the door was pushed open by them from the outside.
There was nothing on the other side of the door except a dark and deserted corridor. There were no zombies hiding there to suddenly rush out and scare them.
Xie Fei's fire ability was upgraded to the second level because of the previous crystal core, so this time he took the initiative to open the way ahead.
He walked forward with careful steps, the fireball in his hand lighting up the aisle. After a round, he found nothing unusual, so he gestured behind him to tell others that it was safe here.
Soon the team came to a fork in the road, which led to two directions. One led to the upstairs, and the other led to the warehouse of the logistics department, where the food was stored.
"Master Gu, I'll go search the warehouse." Since Xie Fei reached the second level, he felt that his supernatural powers were much more abundant, and he could launch more fireballs. Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to show off his supernatural powers and try out his supernatural powers.
"You and Xu Chi go together." Gu Yicheng did not let Xie Fei go to the warehouse alone, but assigned Xu Chi to him. He asked him to take Xu Chi with him.
Although Xu Chi did not awaken his special powers after being scratched by a zombie, he had fought a lot since he was a child, so his skills were pretty good, and his physical fitness was also good among ordinary people. He killed as many zombies as the others in the team these days.
Gu Yicheng arranged for Xue Chen and a few others to go to the dining hall on the first floor. As for the others, they followed him to the upper two floors.
Ruan Ning naturally followed the male protagonist.
When she came in from the back door, she found that the blood stains on the corridor walls had turned dark brown. It seemed that the last chaos here happened some time ago.
As soon as the group turned the corner and before they walked up the stairs, they saw a man standing on a platform between the second and first floors. He was probably less than 1.7 meters tall, with a baby face and big eyes, and looked very young.
"Stop! Don't come up." The baby-faced boy stood there, holding an iron bar in his hand, looking at the group of people who suddenly broke in with a vigilant look, "You guys are not students of B University, right?"
Is there really someone alive here?!
"Dear classmate, don't be nervous. We have no bad intentions. We are just here to look for someone." Lin Yang said with a smile.
The baby-faced boy didn't relax after hearing his words. Instead, he held the stick tightly with both hands, and his expression became more nervous. "The person you are looking for is not in the Second Canteen!"
Lin Yang: "..." They haven't even said who they're looking for. How can this person be so sure that the person they're looking for isn't here?
Gu Yicheng looked at the boy's overreaction, narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "Don't tell us that you are the only living person in such a big cafeteria. Do you think we will believe you?"
"Even if there are other living people here, they definitely don't know you." The baby-faced boy said this, and at the same time looked upstairs. He had looked up several times in a short period of time, as if he was afraid that something would come from there.
He looked at them and whispered, "I can swear that I really didn't lie to you. You should leave here quickly. You won't find anyone in the second cafeteria. It's very dangerous here. It will be dangerous if you stay any longer."
"What if we must go up and look for it?" Gu Yicheng said in a deep voice.
Ruan Ning stood aside without saying a word. She could tell something was strange about this baby-faced boy without even having to think too much.
He kept saying that it was dangerous here and asked them to leave quickly, but it looked like he had been in the cafeteria for quite some time. His clothes were wrinkled and there were oil stains on the corners, but there were no obvious injuries on his body, which meant that he had not been hurt by the zombies during the time he was in the cafeteria.
Students in other places on campus may be trapped in one place by the large number of zombies for various reasons. But Ruan Ning saw that there were not many zombies here, and he was also close to the wall. Although the wall was a little high, he could definitely climb over it if he found a way.
But this person would rather stay in this cafeteria than find a chance to leave this troubled place, the school. He must have some secret.
Jiang Jingchao was anxious to find his brother, and he didn't want to waste time with this strange boy any longer. He raised his gun, pointed it at his head, and said, "Get out of the way."
Jiang Jingchao was a well-known taciturn boy in the team, second only to the boss Gu Yicheng beside her in terms of calmness. This was the first time Ruan Ning saw Jiang Jingchao take the initiative to pull a gun at someone. It seemed that the action of this guy who blocked his way and prevented him from going up to find someone really angered him.
When the baby-faced boy saw the man below pull out his gun, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then he thought of something and said in a trembling voice: "Even if you want to kill me today, I will not let you go up."
Jiang Jingchao was not overwhelmed by his emotions. He pulled out his gun because he saw this guy blocking the way, so he wanted to scare him and let him know what to do and leave quickly. He didn't expect this boy to be so stubborn. The gun was pointed at his head, but he still insisted on his opinion. He didn't know what was upstairs that would make him not let them go up.
Ruan Ning watched the situation become deadlocked, so he could only take the initiative to step forward and act as a mediator. He said to the baby-faced boy, "My teammate's younger brother is studying at B University. We came to B University this time specifically to find him. The two brothers have been separated for such a long time, so the emotions are a little agitated. But you are blocking us like this and not letting us go up. You have to give a reason."
Ruan Ning's voice was warm and soft, and it didn't sound aggressive at all. The baby-faced boy didn't know what words touched him, and his emotions calmed down a little, but he still repeated the first sentence, "You can't go up."
"There are zombies above the cafeteria." After saying that, he added with a complicated expression.
What's so strange about zombies? There are zombies everywhere nowadays. And since he was able to survive the zombies, it shouldn't be a reason for not letting them go up.
"We will take care of the zombies ourselves. You don't need to worry about this." Lin Yang, who has a bad temper, really couldn't stand this dithering scene, and said in a bad tone, "Hey, kid, know your place and get out of the way quickly. Don't think we can't deal with you without shooting. If we can't kill you, can't we knock you out? Then you still can't stop us."
"You can't kill the zombies in the cafeteria." The baby-faced boy said with a pale face.
"Huh?" Lin Yang was amused by his words and walked up the stairs. He didn't even need to use his special powers to deal with such a person. He didn't know where he got the courage to stop so many people here for a reason that he couldn't stand.
"Lin Yang, wait a minute. Don't go over there." Gu Yichen suddenly called him.
Lin Yang had just walked up the stairs at this time, and stopped when he heard his words.
After a few seconds, a dull sound of footsteps came from upstairs. It didn't sound like someone was walking down the stairs. Only zombies walking would make such a dull sound.
The sound came from the third floor.
Lin Yang now had no time to care about the guy who was blocking his way. He leaned against the wall, holding his gun, and looked up vigilantly.
After hearing the footsteps, everyone quickly dispersed. Ruan Ning stood at the corner of the first floor, and from her position, she could see part of the second floor.
They had been talking to this young man for several minutes. Xue Chen and Xie Fei, who were searching other places on the first floor, had no idea what was going on there, but since they hadn't heard any movement, they were afraid there had been no progress.
Ruan Ning thought that the owner of the footsteps might be the reason why this cafeteria and even this young man were so strange.
When the baby-faced boy heard the footsteps, he looked even more anxious than the members of the Dawn Team. He walked down the stairs and shouted at them, "It's coming. Hurry up and leave."
The boy's behavior was strange from the beginning, but the tone and expression of every word he said were so sincere that it didn't seem like he was trying to scare them at all.
