53 Despair
Nancheng University.
In the spacious and cold building housing the bio labs, blood covered the walls in the already ghastly environment. The crawling and dragging had left blood marks all over the place, and they all led to corpses that were chewed up.
However, even more of them were zombies with their heads blown off. Black blood and brain matter splattered across the floor until there were no clean spots for anyone to stand on.
There were still countless zombies wandering in the corridors. Many of them had just been infected, and their intelligence had not fully deteriorated. They tried to open the sealed entrance and other zombies followed them in. A few hours ago, they had caught this group of people off guard!
After a bloody battle, around eight soldiers attempted to escort over a hundred students into a sealed laboratory. Over 50 people survived.
“I was so scared! I was so lucky… Otherwise, I would have died right there and then!”
“Ahaha! It’s said that good fortune follows a great disaster! We’ll definitely be able to leave this damn place.”
Barely escaping from zombies surrounding them instilled the group of young men and women who had yet to step out into society with great confidence.
They turned to look gratefully at the girl, who looked as elegant as an orchid in an empty valley and was untainted by even a speck of dust. They thanked her sincerely. “Thank you, Chengya! If it were not for you thinking about us and bringing someone to save us, we would already be dead!”
More than half of the remaining survivors were students from class one of level 50 law.
In addition, there were a few students from the sports major and the mechanical-manufacturing engineering major who more or less knew who Ying Chengya was.
There was no joy in Ying Chengya’s eyes, however. Her almond-shaped eyes were all teary, which could easily evoke anyone’s pity.
“Unfortunately, Li Lanyu and the others…”
The two men behind her immediately wanted to comfort her, but when they touched each other’s hands, they immediately stared at each other heatedly.
Ying Chengya saw all of this. She pursed her lips slightly and carefully hid the slight curve forming on her lips.
She walked towards the soldiers in the corner and watched as they simply treated the wounds themselves. The youngest one even broke a bone in a fall. Just as she was about to show her concern…
“Ms. Ying, you have lied to us, haven’t you?” He Qiang said in an icy tone. “Cheng was never here!”
“Qiang!” A stern-looking middle-aged man stopped him. “Ms. Ying is Cheng’s friend. Show her some good manners!”
However, when he said the word ‘friend’, his tone was filled with sneers.
Ying Chengya blushed and didn’t dare to raise her head out of embarrassment. “Regardless, it’s all my fault… I shouldn’t have brought you here without understanding the whole situation.”
But why would You Cheng end up at Cuidi Lake Garden? if she remembered correctly, that was where the Tang family moved to, right?
She stopped herself from thinking too much, as guilt was written all over her face. When the group of men saw she was about to cry, they immediately panicked.
“Qiang, apologize to the girl!” They pushed and shoved him, wishing that they could heap this trouble on him.
He Qiang then said unwillingly, “I was being too inconsiderate. But I saw that you guys were so happy… I’m curious if you guys have a way to leave this place?”
When he said the last sentence, his tone could not help but be a little sarcastic.
Ying Chengya’s expression changed slightly. “We should be able to wait for help…”
Help?
Their hearts sank. There was no response. Could help ever arrive on time?!
As soon as she left, the middle-aged man, who was the leader of their team, immediately lowered his voice.
“We don’t have enough time, hurry! Pick yourselves up and get the hell out of here! I’ll stay behind and protect them!”
“Captain!” several of them muttered in disbelief.
“Don’t forget why we’re here, maggots. A soldier’s duty is to obey orders and I order you to leave immediately!”
“No!” The group gritted their teeth. A few of the younger ones even had their eyes turned red.
“We’ll leave together. If we die, we’ll die together too!”
“You can forget about it. We can’t leave even if we want to now.”
He Qiang, who was leaning against the glass window, looked out and cursed. He quickly picked up a sniper rifle, looked at the magazine, and then let his hands hang dejectedly.
“We’ll wait for our death now.”
The students, who were still glad that they survived moments earlier, were stunned. It was as if a bomb had detonated inside their mind. “Wh… What do you mean?!”
He Qiang was about to tell them with little care as he had had enough of them already!
The radio that had been thrown aside suddenly began to come to life…
