The door of the lounge had become loose. If the mother and daughter continued to stay here, it won’t be long before they became food for the zombies, or they would become zombies themselves.
To be honest, if Chen Ju was the only one here. Fu Ke would definitely leave without hesitation.
But there was also a Lin Xiaoya. Lin Xiaoya was only a five-year-old child, still so young. Even though he was determined not to be the same Fu Ke as in her previous life, she still couldn’t bear to watch a five-year-old child face such a situation.
Moreover, the zombies hadn’t come out yet, so it would be easy for her to take them away now.
Fu Ke placed her hand on the table and tapped it gently: “Do you want to go with me?”
Her voice was so clear that the woman who was hiding under the cash register was stunned. Chen Ju carefully poked her head out, but having adapted to the darkness, she could only see a silhouette in the dark.
But what she knew was that zombies couldn’t speak. So the person in front of her must be a person.
Fu Ke clearly saw that the woman looked haggard. She was so frightened that she didn’t even dare to eat much. She looked really haggard living here for some time, but she still had her charm.
Like a young girl, not like the mother of a five-year-old child.
Fu Ke was waiting for their answer if the woman decided to go with her. Then Fu Ke took them out and sent them to school. After all, the school would definitely become the base for the survivors in the future.
At worst, she could send some food as the “entry fee” for the mother and daughter.
In later generations, if survivors wanted to go to the base, they had to pay food or crystal cores before they could enter.
Chen Ju held Lin Xiaoya tightly. She heard the door of the lounge being slammed by zombies and her mind was in a mess. It was scary outside, but she didn’t know how long the lounge door would last.
If the zombies came out from inside, she and her daughter would definitely die.
But it was just as dangerous and terrifying outside. If she went out, she wasn’t sure if she could survive or protect her daughter. It seemed like there were wolves in front and tigers behind.
No matter what choice she made, she would face unknown dangers.
Chen Ju thought for a while, trying to calm her confused mind.
“I’ll go with you.” Instead of hiding here in fear, living like a dark rat. It was better to give it a try, since there was only her and her daughter here.
Maybe there were more people out there? She was going crazy staying here, but she didn’t have the courage to take her daughter out.
As soon as she heard the voice of the woman in front of her, she knew she was a young woman. Chen Ju didn’t believe that such a woman could have much ability, but what she lacked now was courage.
And obviously, Fu Ke’s appearance gave her a little courage.
“Well, let’s go.” Fu Ke led the two of them out carefully and casually took out two backpacks when passing by the snack stand. Anyway, Chen Ju and Lin Xiaoya couldn’t see clearly in the dark.
“Okay, pack some food with you first. We will probably be short of food and go hungry after we go out.” Fu Ke threw the backpack to Chen Ju.
Perhaps because of the appearance of the stranger, Lin Xiaoya closed her mouth tightly and pulled her mother’s clothes without saying a word.
“Thank you…” Chen Ju’s eyes turned slightly warm. It was already good enough that she could take them out. But she didn’t expect that she would still consider it so carefully.
Chen Ju couldn’t see clearly, but it was food anyway, so she packed two large bags at random before following Fu Ke out.
After they walked out, Fu Ke closed the door. The electric car waiting at the door was still there.
It was a small electric car, but it could easily accommodate Chen Ju and a five-year-old child. Especially since Chen Ju was so skinny due to hunger, and Lin Xiaoya was also very thin.
When the door was closed just now, it obviously attracted the attention of the zombies, and groups of zombies slowly surrounded them.
“Get in quickly.” Fu Ke got on the electric bike, turned the key and said to Chen Ju and Lin Xiaoya.
Seeing the zombies coming, Chen Ju’s heart was in her throat. She hurriedly carried Lin Xiaoya into the car, and Fu Ke rushed out on the electric scooter.
Because there were people around, Fu Ke did not release her mental power. The zombies smelled the delicious food and followed them one after another.
Fortunately, not many zombies were attracted, and Fu Ke rode her bike directly to the East Gate of D City University.
There was a student guarding the door. He became nervous when he saw the zombies behind Fu Ke and the others. But he quickly picked up the walkie-talkie to find Zhang Zhongmin.
Zhang Zhongmin, who was in training, kept his walkie-talkie on him at all times. Special circumstances naturally required special handling. As soon as he heard the student’s report, he quickly called for people to rush over.
Fu Ke, who was riding the electric car, was not slow and left the zombies far behind. When she stopped at the school gate, she shouted, “Open the door quickly.”
The boy pressed the door several times tremblingly before slowly opening it a little. Fu Ke frowned and shouted, “What are you standing there for? Close the door!”
“Oh oh oh…” The boy hurriedly closed the door. At this time, Zhang Zhongmin, Liu Guo’an and others came over.
Except for Lu Xun who was still in the classroom, everyone else had rushed over.
“Oh my God! Zombies!” A group of people who were training heard what was happening and rushed over. There were crowds of people standing behind Zhang Zhongmin and the others.
As they got closer and smelled so muck delicious food, the zombies started roaring with obvious excitement, as if they were calling for friends.
Zhang Zhongmin’s face suddenly darkened: “What are you doing here? Go back to training!”
“Yes!” They immediately retreated in a well-trained manner.
Chen Ju was a little confused. She had been sitting in the back of the electric car holding Lin Xiaoya tightly. Her brain couldn’t react for a while when she thought about so many zombies chasing her.
She even regretted for a moment that she shouldn’t have come out.
But she didn’t expect Fu Ke to bring her to the school, and it seemed that there were a lot of people there.
Chen Ju pulled the two backpacks on her back, holding the child in her arms, and stood there uncomfortably. She didn’t know what to do.
Zhang Zhongmin looked at Chen Ju in surprise and looked at Fu Ke in confusion.
“I met them on the road and brought them here.” Fu Ke did not explain much. She believed that with Zhang Zhongmin’s upright character, he would definitely not complain about feeding a few more mouths.
If he was really that selfish, he wouldn’t be able to stay in school. It would probably be much safer for a few active-duty soldiers to act alone than to guard this large group of students.
“Liu Guo’an, take them to register and arrange accommodation for them.” As he spoke, the zombies had already arrived at the school gate.
“Yes!” Liu Guo’an immediately smiled warmly, and in a kind voice led the still dazed Chen Ju towards the school.
However, Chen Ju looked at Fu Ke with some uneasiness.
“Go ahead.” Fu Ke smiled. Her two dimples seemed to give Chen Ju a sense of security. So, she smiled gratefully: “Thank you.”
If it weren’t for her, Chen Ju would not have the courage to come out. She might have waited until all the zombies came out, and then she might be trapped in that place forever.
There was slight moisture in her eyes.
Zhang Zhongmin had already led his men out. After actual combat with the zombies, they had become more and more tacit in understanding each other. They all ran in all directions, causing the few zombies to separate and chase after them.
Then it was quickly resolved.
They nimbly killed the zombies and took out the crystal core in their heads the moment they were killed. The white crystal core was covered with a layer of black substance.
Zhang Zhongmin and his team had put on gloves when they were preparing to deal with the zombies, so they didn’t have to worry about getting black blood on their hands.
Although they didn’t know whether the blood of zombies was contagious, it was better to be prepared.
Fu Ke stood aside without moving, and the boy who had come before also glanced at Fu Ke. He felt a little unconvinced: “Why are you standing here without moving? Those are the zombies you attracted!”
Hearing the boy’s dissatisfied voice, Fu Ke turned her head to look at the boy who had just acted like a fool.
But she just took a glance and then turned back to look at Zhang Zhongmin and the others.
They were swift in their movements, and ancient martial arts emphasize speed as the only way to defeat the enemy. The movements of zombies were much slower than those of normal people, so Zhang Zhongmin and his team, who were already agile, were much faster than the zombies.
The number of zombies that followed was not many to begin with, and they were quickly dealt with under Fu Ke’s intentional control.
“Didn’t you hear me?” Seeing that she didn’t say anything, the boy was so angry that he almost fell down. What kind of person was she? She provoked the zombies and then brought them directly into the school?
Wasn’t this harming people?
Zhang Zhongmin and his group were sweating profusely, but they didn’t even dare to wipe the sweat off their foreheads. They were afraid that the blood would get on them.
Fu Ke put down her backpack and took out a few towels for them: “Wipe your sweat.”
Looking at their gloves covered in black blood, she paused and said: “The zombie virus is concentrated in the toxins on the nails, teeth and blood are very mild and generally not easy to let it get infected.”
“Thank you.” Zhang Zhongmin took the lead and took the towel to wipe the sweat off his face.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter now. If you stand in the sun for a while, your skin will feel hot.
“What are you arguing about?” Zhang Zhongmin had a dark face. After all, they were killing zombies outside, but these two were arguing at the school gate. No one would feel comfortable seeing this, let alone be in a good mood.
“Team Leader Zhang, I’m talking to her. She provoked the zombies and brought them into the school. There are so many people in our school. She did it on purpose.” He didn’t react at that time and opened the door as Fu Ke asked.
Thinking about it now, he regretted it so much. People like her should be eaten by zombies.
When Zhang Zhongmin heard this, his face turned even darker. He didn’t look at Fu Ke, but turned around and looked at the boy, his eyes emitting a cold light.
The boy shuddered when he saw it, but he felt that he was right. If someone brought zombies here in the future, won’t the school be in danger all the time?
Zhang Zhongmin was so angry that he almost laughed: “You mean, if you are surrounded by zombies, you should run away and wait for death?”
The boy was stunned. That’s not what he meant…
“Or, if you are chased by zombies in the future, should we lock you outside the gate and wait for you to fend for yourself?” Before the boy could say anything, Zhang Zhongmin threw the next sentence at him, rendering the boy speechless.
He quickly said, “How can they be the same?”
“Why are they different?” Zhang Zhongmin squinted at him. In troubled times, there must be people who had ulterior motives and were selfish. But Zhang Zhongmin felt that this situation should not happen, at least in this school.
Yes, why was it different? The boy’s face turned red, but he couldn’t explain why for a while.
“Listen, I don’t ask you to become saints, but you must have a clear conscience and at least try to help others when you are able.”
“Our enemies are zombies, not our families. In the face of life and death, all human beings are our family. There is a saying that is applicable at any time. So, you have to remember. You can be on guard against others, but you can’t have the intention to harm others.”
“I don’t hope to hear you say this for the second time, understand?”
Zhang Zhongmin’s face was very scary when he darkened this face, and the boy nodded fearfully. But he felt wronged: “But, she didn’t go over to help…”
