Tiangang Leading the way with glasses, despite one being fat and the other thin, they both move at a fast pace and everyone rushes into the kitchen.
Teacher Xu finally comes in and locks the door behind him: "This is not a solution."
Looking at the crowded zombies at the food window, Glasses said in a slightly louder voice, "These glasses are not the toughened glass of the bank, they won't hold for long."
Then he approached the clear sky and said, "Why don't we go down the sewer..."
In the crowd, a few people's eyes moved slightly, and they began to unconsciously or consciously move closer to the back door.
Eyeglasses noticed these few people and knew what they were up to.
Tiangang also quickly glanced at the manhole cover on the ground, secretly grateful that the sewer entrance was in the back kitchen, and pondered the possibility of this escape route.
Looking around with glasses, Tianjie was with his girlfriend, Teacher Xu was comforting the fragile classmates, Tiangang was speculating on the chances of survival in the sewer, a few people in the crowd were near the sewer, a few near the back door, and of course, more people looked ashen-faced.
Because many people have thought of the inhuman noises from last night, they have speculated on a possibility: zombies did not suddenly appear, but rather infected one by one, which means...
"So, what you're saying is that we are now trapped in the kitchen. And we can't be sure that the underground hasn't been taken over by the infected. In other words, the underground may not be safer than the surface." Li Mu joined the discussion without invitation, right beside them.
"You didn't say..." Li Yu was about to say something to Li Mu, but Li Mu calmly squeezed her hand.
With his glasses on, he sized up the two of them. He hadn't forgotten Li Mu's words just now. Wanting to run alone with his girlfriend, this kind of person wouldn't make a good teammate in the apocalypse.
"The squad leader said he wanted to be the hero of his girlfriend and fight alone. Why is he hesitating now? We should work together..."
" Huangpu Xin, there's strength in numbers. Tell us about your plan," Tiangang interrupted him, seeming determined.
Huangpu Xin paused for a moment, about to speak, when suddenly "click!" and "clang!" sounds of unlocking and the sound of a manhole cover being lifted were heard, and two people escaped from the back door and the manhole respectively.
Everyone's face turned pale. Huangpu Xin quickly locked the back door as expected, then opened the louver to observe. As soon as everyone saw it, they immediately started vomiting.
Outside the window, a dense horde of zombies had already surged forward, and it wouldn't be long before they tore the person into pieces. Looking at the zombies, the leaders seemed to still have bits of flesh in their mouths.
As the crowd retched, Huangpu Xin gestured for Tiangang to cover the well cover and loudly said, "Anyone else who wants to die, please hurry up. I'm in a hurry, don't be like before, bringing others with you to die."
Seeing the dry heaving and trembling, no one wanted to fight alone, so I turned back and continued, "I usually sleep at 4 o'clock and wake up at 6 o'clock every day, so last night I heard a vague voice, thinking it was a senior student. Now I think it should be the time when the mutation occurred, more or less. However, this morning we could still happily have breakfast, and not a single zombie appeared before we entered the restaurant..."
"So what are you trying to say?"
"Some things are limiting their appearance, and we can only guess at three possibilities: 1. They may have one or more time periods when they roam, perhaps from around 4 am to 6 am, and then are restricted from being seen after 6 am. Let's assume they disappear from 6 am to 9 am, then reappear from 9 am to 12 pm, and so on... in other words, they disappear for 3 hours and roam for 3 hours. 2. The time from 6 am to 9 am this morning was just a 'grace period' given to us, and if that's the case, ordinary people are basically waiting to die."
Several people widened their eyes, not sure if they were shocked by the idea of a 3-hour sleep or the thought process.
Tiangang Hearing the confusing explanation, quickly waved his hand and said, "Stop reasoning! Keep it simple!"
Huangpu Xin Took a deep breath and said, "So we have two choices: one is to escape through the sewer. The advantage is that it's a maze down there, so if we encounter danger, we have an escape route. The downside is that the dark environment makes it easy to be attacked from all sides and get lost."
"Another option?" Tianjie asked.
Huangpu Xin raised his arm to look at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's 9:30 now. We can block the windows with the cabinet and fill all the gaps with pots and pans to hold out until 12 o'clock. When the zombie tide recedes, we can all happily set out to seek help or establish a more reliable stronghold."
Tianjie continued to ask, "What if the tide of corpses does not recede?"
"It's not too late to go down the well again," Huangpu Xin said.
Several people fell silent.
In the end, Tiangang made a decision: "Okay, I'll go and talk to them."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the others to stop him, he stood on the table and said, "Listen to me..." Then he quickly explained the pros and cons of the decision in a few words, and since no one had any objections, they all nodded in agreement to join.
Li Mu saw Tiangang's kind behavior and tightened his girlfriend's hand, muttering to himself: Tiangang is too kind. Most of the remaining people are probably just ordinary people. They might be good as bait, but as teammates, they are just a burden...
He was about to ask Huangpu Xin to persuade Tiangang to let go of these burdens, but then he noticed Huangpu Xin standing alone in front of a locked back door, not knowing what she was doing.
Furrowing his brow, he walked forward and patted Huangpu Xin's shoulder, saying, "What time is it? Stop daydreaming, or else you'll be in big trouble..." Before he could finish his sentence, Huangpu Xin fell straight backwards!
Next to him, Teacher Xu quickly stopped Huangpu Xin and glared at Li Mu, saying, "Li Mu, it doesn't seem like the time for infighting now, does it?"
"I, I didn't do anything..." Li Mu stammered.
"I can prove that Li Mu really didn't do anything." Li Mu looked unexpectedly at Liu Lei for speaking up for him.
Teacher Xu laid Huangpu Xin flat, checked his pulse and breathing, and found no major issues, but he remained unconscious.
At this time, someone stood up from the crowd and said, "I am Chenhao. I just gained the ability of exploration. He is my roommate. Let me take a look."
The remaining person with glasses, Li Mu, brightened up at the unexpected presence of another talented person, but his enthusiasm dimmed upon hearing about the exploration ability.
Compared to attacking-type talented individuals, the investigative-type talented individuals are currently quite useless.
Li Mu glanced at the crowded zombies outside the window. This situation doesn't require investigation...
Perhaps in the future, there will be more talented people, establishing a safe zone to explore talented people will have more room to shine. At present, we can't even get past the first level of zombies, so why talk about power struggles.
In the blink of an eye, Chenhao arrived at the top of Huangpu Xin, placing his hands on both sides of Huangpu Xin's head, closing his eyes to feel it carefully.
Other people, under the guidance of a clear sky, began to "plaster the wall." Fortunately, only a small part of the window at the serving window was made of glass. Everyone moved the cabinet onto the table to block all the windows as best they could. Although the sound of zombies hitting and scratching the glass could still be heard, out of sight, out of mind. The sense of security in the confined space was undeniable.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Chenhao suddenly opened her eyes. Clear sky came over and asked, "How is it? How is it?"
Chenhao answered, "Although I don't know why it's taking so long, he should be awakening his abilities..."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure... but I have some confidence."
"Do you think awakening abilities can cause unconsciousness?"
"The place where I am puzzled is here. I woke up when I was washing up in the morning, probably lost consciousness for a minute, and integrated my abilities for three minutes. Xin's ability may be relatively strong..."
"..."
"Okay,"
Tiangang no longer asks, just hoping that Huangpu Xin will wake up when they evacuate at 12 o'clock.
Getting up to move things, who knew Chenhao would add another sentence: "But being powerful is not necessarily a good thing. If you can't wake up within an hour, you might be so powerful that you die when you awaken..."
Tiangang and upon hearing the news, Li Mu both paused. Indeed, in some movies and comics, there are cases where humans with extraordinary talents die upon awakening, taking their teammates with them in a wave of destruction.
Upon hearing this, Teacher Xu's expression also became worried.
"It's all speculation, it's all speculation. My abilities are not enough. Right now, I can only probe whether his state of mind is alive or consciousness is extinguished. There's no way to know the specific situation. Huangpu Xin Good things will happen, we should focus on filling the hole."
The crowd nodded and returned to the task of moving things.
