Wang Xiang and his brothers made two pots of rice with the half-bag of rice they found, managing to eat their fill. After all, there were over two hundred people present, and half a bag of rice wasn't enough.
"Tomorrow, these college students should go to another village to fight zombies. Then, we'll quietly follow them, seize the opportunity to grab more food, and be sure to bring more weapons. Otherwise, if those college students turn on us, we might not be able to handle it!" Wang Xiang said to the brothers around him.
"I heard there are many female college students in the school. The meal we ate today was made by those girls. If you ask me, while the boys are out, we should storm the school and snatch some. No one's watching anyway, just grab food and women!" a man beside him said.
Then, another person chimed in, "Yeah, we're all strong and healthy. While those boys are out, we can break in. Is there anyone who can stop us?"
A group of people chatted and laughed, discussing what they should do tomorrow. In their opinion, zombies were too terrifying to confront directly. The college students weren't afraid of death, so let them deal with the zombies. If others were easier to deal with, they could target them.
Just then, a worker suggested, "This old man died here, it's quite pitiful. Why don't we bury him?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiang immediately laughed, pointing at the worker's nose. "Your father also turned into a zombie, why don't you go back and bury him? I'm telling you, this old man deserved to die. Why bother with him?"
The others also mocked him, saying, "Who told this old man not to let go? If he had let go, could we still have killed him?"
"Exactly, it's just half a bag of rice, why hold onto it so tightly?"
These people didn't consider that the half-bag of rice the old man tightly held was actually the hope of survival, the price he paid for staying in the village instead of going to the school. However, this half-bag of rice was not enough to fill the stomachs of over two hundred people!
Just then, a worker pointed to the rooftop in the distance and said, "Someone! There seems to be a woman on that building!"
The surrounding workers all crowded around upon hearing this, but there was nothing on the distant rooftop, only the quiet starry sky!
"Are you horny, kid? There's nothing over there, and you can see a woman. You're really sick!"
"Who told this kid he's been single for over thirty years? He's having hallucinations now. You guys must be understanding!"
"Haha, what a disgrace!" The rest of the crowd began to laugh. They clearly saw nothing, yet they insisted they saw a woman!
The man being ridiculed flushed red and couldn't speak. In fact, he was sure he had seen a woman standing on the rooftop in the distance, but she disappeared in an instant. It was too dark, so he couldn't see what the woman looked like.
Just then, a roar came from not far away, and the men present immediately panicked. It seemed something was rushing towards them. Could it be zombies? Everyone was worried and quickly grabbed the weapons they had. In any case, it was wise to be careful now.
At the same time, the strong type zombie lost its target. It felt like the food that was running in front of it just moments ago had vanished. It became somewhat enraged. However, it then heard sounds and could vaguely see light appearing in the rooms in the distance.
Thus, the zombie immediately charged towards them, and indeed saw food. There were over two hundred of them, and now it could finally feast!
Seeing a tall zombie appear before him, Wang Xiang wasn't particularly alarmed. He quickly said to the people around him, "Brothers, we must unite now. It's just one zombie. We'll take care of it, just like we watched the college students deal with zombies today!"
Upon hearing Wang Xiang's words, the group all charged forward with their weapons, ready to kill the zombie before them. However, they didn't know that this zombie was not an ordinary one, but a mutated zombie with immense strength. Even Shen Feng would not dare to take a hit from this zombie.
As a result, the workers who charged forward were immediately sent flying by the strong zombie's fists. Some hit walls, while others had their heads crushed on the spot. Instantly, the workers present began to flee in all directions. They finally understood that this zombie was not ordinary; it was very strong!
Subsequently, the strong zombie began to hunt the food present. It had basic intelligence, so it knew that these food sources could be killed first before being enjoyed. If it killed one and ate one, the food would probably escape! Therefore, it chased after the people present and began to kill them. Anyone who was too slow to run was caught and immediately killed.
Shen Feng returned to the rooftop where his senior sister was. The senior sister was secretly watching below. Her face showed some compassion, as these people below were her own kind. There's a saying, "When animals see their own kind die, they are often sad."
"Shen Feng, I think I was exposed just now. Someone saw me!" Chang Jianyi said with some annoyance.
Shen Feng shrugged and said, "It's okay. These people are not evolved ones, and it's so dark now. They definitely couldn't see your face clearly, so there's no problem of exposure. Don't worry."
Chang Jianyi then asked, "But if the people below are all killed, our plan won't proceed. What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to wait and see!" Shen Feng said calmly. "So many people killed an old man, isn't that just bullying? Now, let the zombies act as heaven's enforcers, letting these people know that they too can be bullied. After a large portion of them are dead, I'll step in and kill the zombie!"
Chang Jianyi didn't say anything further. She also knew that if a weak and helpless old man was beaten to death, no one would avenge him. If she and Shen Feng hadn't come here, they might not have even discovered that the old man was beaten to death. Now, these people needed to pay a price, and that price was death.
Shen Feng stood on the rooftop, watching the people below constantly running and dodging just to survive. He began to mutter to himself, "You all know fear of death and want to survive, so why don't you consider others? Is the old man's life less valuable than yours? If not, then why commit the crime? Is it because the law no longer restrains you? Or is it that morality can no longer control your actions?"
The pursuit by the strong type zombie was simply endless. Most people chose to hide, but this zombie could accurately locate where people were hiding, then kill them and throw them on the ground. Thus, the number of workers dwindled.
Many workers, when cornered, chose to resist, but the weapons in their hands could not harm this zombie, and they could only be strangled to death.
Seeing the number of workers decrease one by one, Shen Feng finally began to act. More than a hundred people had already died. If more people died, it might affect the subsequent plan, so he had to stop it now.
Shen Feng chose to ambush. As the strong zombie passed through the street below, he leaped down from the rooftop. His samurai sword was already aimed at the zombie's nape. With a "hiss," the tip of the sword, empowered by Shen Feng's immense strength, pierced directly through the zombie's neck, and the zombie's cervical spine was also broken.
Afterward, Shen Feng took out a dagger from his body, cut off the zombie's head, and took it away.
The workers of the construction team felt a little relieved when they heard the zombie's roar disappear, but they still didn't dare to leave their hiding places, fearing that as soon as they stepped out, they would be grabbed by the zombie and crushed like walnuts. Of course, most people couldn't crush walnuts, only those with great strength could crush thin-shelled walnuts.
For these people, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. They realized that zombies were not as easy to deal with as they thought. They thought they could survive by banding together and perhaps even storming the university to snatch something, but now, reality had given them a harsh slap in the face, telling them that independent survival was very difficult.
Shen Feng and Chang Jianyi left. After returning to the office, they hid the zombie's head, preparing to hand it over to Yu Renshu the next day. Besides researching potions, she had nothing else to do and was so idle that many envied her. However, they also knew that this doctor was a microbiologist and didn't need to do manual labor, only stay in the laboratory for scientific research!
Most of the zombies in the school had been killed, and their bodies were thrown into the artificial lake to feed the catfish. Perhaps because the meals had been good these days, the catfish had grown much larger. Some catfish even reached two meters in length, and if they grew a little more, they would be close to the size of crocodiles.
"Alright, let's go back to sleep. It's a pity there's no bathroom, otherwise, we should really wash up properly!" Shen Feng said helplessly.
At this time, it was a special period, and there was no tap water, let alone a bathroom. Moreover, even if there were bathrooms, without water and electricity, it would be impossible to bathe.
Chang Jianyi couldn't help but sniff her clothes, wondering if they smelled. However, Shen Feng said, "Senior sister, you don't smell at all, you smell particularly good. By the way, I'll bring you some perfume in a few days!"
"Let's sleep, you talk too much!" Chang Jianyi said with a blush.
...
The next morning arrived again. Shen Feng issued an order to the combat team: "Follow me to bring back the people from another village. Also, where is Li Xiang?"
Li Xiang quickly stepped forward. He had evolved and felt the strength all over his body. He was very excited. It was good to be appreciated by the president. He had already surpassed ordinary people by a large margin! He said excitedly, "President, what do you need me to do? Our transportation team is on standby!"
Shen Feng issued the order, "You take a few villagers and go to yesterday's village to find tools. Bring back all usable tools, whether it's a hoe or a shovel, as long as it's a tool for digging, bring it back!"
Li Xiang immediately replied, "Understood, I'll set off right away!"
Shen Feng then led his men to set off. Yesterday, they brought back over three hundred people from the village, including men, women, old, and young. This was clearly not enough, so they needed more personnel. Otherwise, the plan could not be implemented smoothly. As long as they found three hundred people in the next village, it would be enough to make do!
As for Li Xiang, after arriving at the village, he began to collect farm tools, but he unexpectedly discovered many corpses, which seemed to be the corpses of yesterday's construction team. Afterward, the survivors of the construction team appeared one by one and recounted what happened last night. Of course, these people concealed the fact that they had killed the old man.
Wang Xiang was also among the crowd. Although his arm was broken, he was very lucky last night. He hid and was not chased by the strong zombie, so he survived.
Hearing everyone's description, Li Xiang said proudly, "You're probably talking about the strong type zombie. This kind of zombie is very brutal. It eats both human brains and zombie brains. However, our president can kill it. He killed one before. It's a pity you didn't follow us. If you had followed us, such a thing would never have happened."
Upon hearing that the Self-Aid Association could kill the strong type zombie, the workers of the construction team quickly requested to join. Li Xiang pretended to go and ask the president for instructions, but then, unable to resist everyone's pleas, he agreed to bring them back. However, joining the Self-Aid Association was not that simple. It required the approval of the president or vice-president, otherwise, it would be considered impersonation, and once discovered, they would be expelled from the camp.
"If the president finds out I brought so many people back, he'll definitely reward me, right?" Li Xiang thought gleefully.
Li Xiang didn't know that his appearance here today, and his successful meeting with the construction team, were all planned by Shen Feng. The excuse was to find farm tools, but the real purpose was to bring the construction team back. At present, there were seventy-eight people from the construction team; the rest were killed by the strong type zombie.
