The fourth day of the zombie outbreak.

I woke up from a long, strange dream.

Looking at my phone, it was already noon.

I didn't die, nor did I turn into a zombie.

My fever broke, and my head no longer felt dizzy.

Surviving a disaster.

"Song Wei, wake up, it's noon, you need to eat something to recover quickly."

I gently pushed Song Wei, but she collapsed stiffly.

Song Wei didn't turn into a zombie, but she died.

I straightened her body, placed the withered flowers from the treatment room on her.

"I'm sorry, I just reconnected with you yesterday."

I messaged Wen Ning to inform him of Song Wei's death.

I also messaged my mom to let her know I'm safe.

I waited for a long time, but received no replies.

"Boom—"

A huge noise came from outside.

I climbed onto the table against the wall and looked out from the top ventilation window.

A helicopter crashed straight to the ground.

The door of the Taoyuan Convenience Store was destroyed due to the explosion.

A group of zombies swarmed out of the smoke and dust.

These zombies were different from the ones I initially saw.

They had a large number of tumor-like growths on their bodies and heads.

I could clearly see these tumors entwined with numerous filament-like structures.

Some of the tumors were rotten and covered with eerie tentacles like octopuses.

"Sizzle—"

"Crack—"

I could even hear the sounds coming from the tentacles on those tumors.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

The Taoyuan Convenience Store is 200 meters away from me.

How did my vision, with a myopic degree of 400, become so sharp?

I looked at the convenience store again, and my vision became even clearer.

I could even see the situation inside through the window.

These zombies moved quickly, and the survivors' screams could be heard wherever they passed.

Our class monitor, Xu Tao, only had crimson eyes, without any other changes.

He was surrounded by many zombies with tumors on their heads.

Those zombies didn't attack him but seemed to be waiting for his orders.

He adjusted his glasses and looked down at his phone.

Soon, a message came from the survivor group in the school.

[The survivors from Taoyuan Convenience Store will head to the library. Food and water have all been moved. Surviving students please deduct 1, and those who survived can contact me in advance for backup.]

Just a few seconds after the message was sent.

A girl was pushed in front of Xu Tao by several zombies.

I recognized the girl as Jiong Ni, the flower of the department.

She was trembling all over, begging for mercy non-stop.

Xu Tao didn't speak, just smiled.

He approached Jiong Ni step by step, lowered his head and gave her a deep kiss.

An apocalyptic love story?

No.

Xu Tao spat out many tentacles from his mouth, which drilled into Jiong Ni's mouth as if they had life.

Jiong Ni's gaze turned from pain to emptiness.

Her eyes gradually turned bloodshot, her head exploded instantly, and a huge tumor grew, the tentacles on the tumor twisting strangely in the air.

She mutated.

"Too bad! It's your own fault. I was going to leave you with a good-looking appearance."

Subsequently, many survivors who did not mutate were dragged in front of Xu Tao.

Some were transformed by him, and some were directly eaten by Jiong Ni.

As more and more classmates fell, I saw Wen Ning's face.

He was caught.

Next to him, a zombie hissed as if saying something.

Xu Tao covered his nose:

"This smell is really not good. What have you turned into?

"But it doesn't matter. Thank you for delivering supplies to survivors everywhere, allowing me to have more advanced mutants.

"Since you can't be of use to me, just kill him.

"The new world will remember the contributions you made."

"Boom—"

Another explosion.

The Taoyuan Convenience Store shook for a few seconds because of the explosion.

"Boss, the army is here."

"Brothers, the opportunity to establish a new world is here!"

Xu Tao led his army of zombies to turn around and meet the challenge.

The injured Wen Ning was tied up and thrown in the collapsing convenience store.

I had to save him.

I picked up a baseball bat from the ground and ran frantically all the way!

The zombies downstairs tried to block me, but they couldn't catch up.

The mutated zombies coming towards me sprayed out huge tentacles, which I broke with a swing of my bat!

My heart was pounding!

The air, filled with the smell of blood, made me nauseous.

I was surprised by the power and speed I unleashed!

In a frenzy, I barely made it to the Taoyuan Convenience Store.

Wen Ning, who was barely alive, looked at me, covered in blood, in extreme shock.

I quickly cut the ropes binding his hands and feet, glanced at the zombies approaching, and dragged him to escape!

"Go to the 5th floor of the teaching building, the office should be safe."

Wen Ning couldn't keep up with my speed, and the zombies behind couldn't kill us all.

If we keep going, we will both die.

To shake off the zombies, in front of Wen Ning's shocked eyes, I lifted him and ran all the way!

When we finally reached the office on the second floor of the 5th teaching building, I realized that Wen Ning had closed his eyes at some unknown time.

"Wen Ning?

"Wen Ning!"

Wen Ning didn't respond, and his face showed a faint blue light imprint, as if something was rushing around in his brain.

In just a few seconds, the light imprint disappeared, and his face turned ashen...

I leaned against the door, collapsing on the ground.

"Zhou Zhou... Don't worry, I won't die."

Wen Ning weakly reached out and touched my head.

I saw the wound on his arm visibly healing!

"Wen Ning, don't close your eyes!

"Song Wei asked you to go to City C, you have to stay alive to save the world!

"The rescue army is here, can't you hear the bombing outside? If we can escape the school, we will be saved!"

Wen Ning reached out and touched my face:

"Don't be afraid, if I can't wake up, the current you, alone, will surely survive."

Wen Ning's hand fell powerless, and he fainted again.
