Zongman: The End of the Universe

Chapter 10. Survivors

The gray sky enveloped the entire Qingzhu City, and several gray smoke columns rose from the flaming buildings in the direction of the city.

When the breeze blew, even the air smelled of gunpowder from the disaster.

Busujima Saeko and the other two were still standing in the corridor outside, looking worriedly at the building diagonally opposite. Although Liu Yuansheng had only been in the building for less than a minute, Marikawa Shizuka felt like it had been more than ten minutes.

"Saeko, do you think Gen-kun will be in no danger?"

Marikawa Shizuka had a sad face, and suddenly turned around and hugged Busujima Saeko's arm and shook her.

The zombies downstairs were like ants returning to their nest, slowly but steadily moving towards the technical college building.

Dense zombies can be seen in the windows on both sides of the third floor.

Why haven’t you come out yet…

There was a trace of unrelieved worry in Busujima Saeko's eyes. She couldn't help but clench the hilt of the knife. She just stared at the exit of the overhead corridor on the third floor without saying a word.

But in the next second, a man and a woman suddenly jumped out of the exit, looking panic-stricken as if there was an evil ghost chasing them after them.

But that's the truth.

As soon as Takagi Saya and Hirano Toda escaped from the broken glass exit, a dozen hideous-looking zombies rushed out behind them.

"Hirano! Quickly kill them with the nail gun!"

At this moment, Takagi Saya no longer looked as arrogant as a young lady before. She ran while shouting at Hirano Toda who was panting behind her.

"Ha... no... no... bullets... only one magazine of bullets left!"

Behind him were terrifying zombies that were ready to devour anyone. Although Hirano Toda was extremely frightened, he knew that now was far from the time to use the nail gun.

Takagi Saya was furious. Which was more important, the bullet or her life?! But she had not completely lost her mind. Hirano Toda's reminder also gradually calmed her down. Although her body was still stained with rotten meat and blood, she was no longer panicked and nauseated as she was at the beginning.

But the next second—

boom!
In the corridor on the third floor, a window closest to the overhead corridor suddenly exploded!

The transparent glass fragments shone with dazzling light under the refraction of the sunlight. A figure climbed directly to the window in full view of everyone. Then, without any hesitation, he bent his knees and jumped towards the corridor more than two meters away on the right!
The surrounding scene kept receding, the handrail on the side of the corridor in front of me gradually approached, and the strong wind blowing in my face made my senses infinitely magnified. I was nearly ten meters high in the air, and the cold concrete floor was faintly stained with a few glaring pools of blood.

Seeing this scene, Busujima Saeko and the other two were so nervous that their hearts were in their throats.

Bang!
Liu Yuansheng stretched out his hand and accurately grabbed the railing. He exerted force with his arms instantly, and his falling body suddenly moved horizontally in mid-air. Liu Yuansheng curled up his knees instantly, and the whole person flipped over the railing and landed in front of Takagi Saya and the others!

!!!

Saya Takagi's pupils shrank.

This guy is not dead yet?!
Just when she thought Liu Yuansheng was going to run away, Liu Yuansheng walked slowly to the center of the corridor.

What does he want to do?
Saya Takagi's face turned pale, and she secretly clenched the cutter in her hand, under Saya Takagi's vigilant gaze.

Liu Yuansheng let out a long sigh as if he was finally relieved, casually moved his neck and shoulders, waved the iron blade in his hand, and then turned his gaze to the zombies behind the two men.

The corridor is narrow, with a spacing of less than three meters, but this overhead corridor is nearly five meters wide.

The zombies pouring out from the exit that was less than two meters wide had their density diluted in this space. There was no more suitable battlefield than here!
While Takagi Saya was stunned, Liu Yuansheng suddenly pushed off the ground and rushed forward, passing by the two of them in one step. Takagi Saya didn't even have time to react, and subconsciously raised the cutter, and Liu Yuansheng passed by her.

A guess that I dared not even think about suddenly emerged in my mind -

This guy...does he want to fight these zombies? !
"Tsk! Are you going to die?"

Takagi Saya spat inwardly and continued to run away without looking back. Hirano Toda ran breathlessly, and the fingers holding the gun handle in his arms turned blue and white because he used too much force.

The next second, he gritted his teeth, suddenly stopped, turned around, pointed his gun at the zombies, and shouted at Liu Yuansheng:
"Classmate! Let me help you defend behind you!"

Liu Yuansheng raised his eyebrows, glanced at the short, fat, long-haired, bespectacled man with some surprise, and then swung the iron blade in his hand——

Bang!Bang!
In a moment, the heads of the two zombies suddenly exploded!

Liu Yuansheng's eyes did not fluctuate at all. He let a few drops of blood splash on his cheeks, and his figure disappeared from the spot the next second.

A pitch-black claw swung from the side. Liu Yuansheng took half a step forward, exerted force on his feet, and suddenly turned his body. While dodging the zombie's pounce and bite, the iron blade turned into a black light and cut off its head with one blow!

"Roar!!!"

The smelly blood seemed to stimulate the senses of the zombies. They roared more frantically and kept on biting and snarling.

Liu Yuansheng tightened the knife handle which was slightly slippery due to being soaked in blood, and with one stroke he cut off the head of the zombie in front of him. With blood splattering everywhere, he rushed into the group of zombies in one stride.

Seeing the zombies on both sides roaring and attacking at the same time, Liu Yuansheng frowned slightly, raised his hand, grabbed the arm of a zombie and kicked it hard in the chest. The fierce force directly kicked the zombie away like a cannonball, and with a bang, it knocked down a group of people behind it.

Almost at the same time, the zombie on the right swung its claws and bit. Liu Yuansheng turned around and swung his knife. There was a bang and the zombie had no time to react. A groove sank into its head. Before Liu Yuansheng could put away the knife, several zombies followed.

Liu Yuansheng suddenly bent his knees and the sharp claws of two zombies swept over his head. His left leg suddenly stopped and the muscles of his right leg suddenly tensed. The next second, Liu Yuansheng, who was squatting to avoid, suddenly turned around like a spiral, and the wrists of his arms that were grabbed from above his head were broken in an instant. A black shadow swept directly over the necks of the two zombies!

Bang——click!

One zombie had its head chopped off, and the last zombie's neck went limp like mud.

As blood spurted out, Liu Yuansheng suddenly kicked the ground, and the tip of the blade instantly pierced through the top of a zombie's skull. Then he raised his foot and kicked it out brazenly. As the zombie flew away, he pulled out the iron blade and slashed it with his backhand -

The head popped up from the neck like a gopher, and blood poured out like rain!
Hirano Toda stared blankly, the nail gun on his chest was pulled down at some point, the man in front of him was like a super efficient killing machine, madly and elegantly harvesting every zombie. The zombies that he had to fight with all his strength were as easy as killing chickens in the hands of the man.

Slash...

Slash...

Thrust...

The simple moves seemed to become something else in the man's hands, each one extremely sharp and smooth.

“That’s…too amazing…”

Bang!
As Liu Yuansheng raised his foot and pressed the last one under him, he pierced the zombie's face with a knife, and the five-meter-wide corridor suddenly became quiet.

He killed all the zombies in the corridor on the third floor and forced them out of the gap. The remaining zombies were still tearing apart the corridor. The corpses in the huge corridor were piled up like building blocks, and broken limbs and remains were scattered all over the ground. Blood overflowed from the corridor like a river, falling to the ground drop by drop.

Amidst the corpses, there was only one figure standing there.

After shaking off the remaining blood on the iron blade, Liu Yuansheng wiped the iron blade on the corpse beside him. He turned around and looked at Hirano Toda who was still in a daze behind him. A barely detectable smile appeared on his slightly bloodstained face:

"gone."

"Ah…oh! Hi!"

Hirano Toda's hand holding the nail gun trembled, and he came to his senses in an instant, stood at attention and saluted Liu Yuansheng.

Liu Yuansheng turned his head to look in the direction where Busujima Saeko was, only to find that five or six figures were standing there at some point.

They all stared at Liu Yuansheng in amazement.

"Senior Liu Yuan... is this really the fighting power that a talented person possesses... It's like... a monster..."

In the crowd, Komuro Takashi stared at the tall figure in a daze, his pupils trembling.

Miyamoto Rei, who was holding Komuro Takashi's arm, had let go of it at some point and also had a look of disbelief on her face. She could no longer describe in words the shock that the scene had brought to her worldview. There was a barely perceptible admiration in her eyes amidst the unspeakable horror.

She had just lost her boyfriend Jing Haoyong, and experienced the indifference of the Self-Defense Forces rescue team on the roof. She felt helpless, panicked, and lacked a sense of security.

Although she felt relieved and grateful that Komuro Takashi had brought her back from the rooftop to the third floor, she suddenly had other thoughts when she saw another incredibly fierce man.

He glanced at his childhood sweetheart beside him without leaving a trace, then lowered his head and looked carefully at Liu Yuansheng in the distance.

I'm sorry...Xiao...

"...With him here...I will definitely be able to survive in this world..."

Ishiiwa was trembling with excitement at this moment. Seeing the powerful figure of Brother Liuyuan, he felt his blood boiling with excitement. The look he gave Liu Yuansheng was as fanatical as if he was worshipping a god.

Only Takagi Saya watched with gritted teeth, her five fingers clenched tightly in her palms, replaying the scene that just happened like a science fiction movie in her mind, her lips kept moving as if she was mumbling something:
"It's unscientific! This is unscientific! How can a human being have such speed and strength? His strength is beyond common sense! Impossible! This is impossible!"

On the side, Marikawa Shizuka held her face with both hands, looking at Liu Yuansheng with a crazy look on her face, holding Busujima Saeko's arm, her plump body twisted constantly, causing her heavy chest to sway left and right:
"Gen-kun is so handsome! Don't you think so, Saeko?"

"Eh? What's wrong with you, Saeko?"

Shizuka Marikawa suddenly turned her head and found that Busujima Saeko's fair face was stained with an alluring blush, and her body was trembling subconsciously. She looked at Liu Yuansheng who walked out of the pile of corpses with a dazed look, and the moisture in her eyes seemed to melt him.

"No...nothing..."

Busujima Saeko lowered her head with difficulty, trying to endure the strong numbness that suddenly ran along her coccyx to the back of her head. Her entire brain was shaking violently and her breathing was uncontrollably rapid and gasping.

"Really? Do you have a fever? After all, you were coughing in the infirmary just now. Teacher, let me take a look at you, otherwise Yuanjun will be worried."

"No...no...no, I'm...fine."

"Well then...if you feel uncomfortable, please tell me."

Although it was a bit strange, Shizuka Marikawa stopped asking questions and turned her head to continue looking at Yuansheng Liu like a fangirl.

But at this moment, Liu Yuansheng suddenly raised his hand and waved to everyone, and a clear voice came out:

"You! Those who are willing to cooperate, gather here!"

As soon as the words fell, Miyamoto Rei's eyes lit up, and she looked up at Komuro Takashi beside her almost instantly:
"Xiao, let's go to Senior Liu Yuan's place!"

"Ah... no problem."

Although somewhat surprised by Miyamoto Rei's initiative, Komuro Takashi still nodded in agreement, but before leaving he glanced at Takagi Saya beside him:
"Gao Cheng, are you going?"

"……go."

After a moment of silence, Takagi Saya finally opened her mouth and uttered that word.

Needless to say, Busujima Saeko and the other two, Ishii and Kazuo looked at Komuro Takashi and the other two warily, then followed Busujima Saeko and the other two and walked towards the teaching building where Yanagi Gensei was.

But no one noticed that above their heads, in the corridor on the fifth floor of the comprehensive building, a man with a feminine and handsome appearance was standing at the corridor window, looking down at everyone with gloomy eyes.

Behind him, dozens of students were hiding quietly in the classroom behind him. The girls were hugging their legs and trembling in fear. They were sitting on the ground with boxes of lunch in their hands, eating one bite at a time with trembling hands using a spoon, and looking at his back through the classroom window with hopeful eyes from time to time.

The boys were holding all kinds of sticks and using saws to sharpen the tips of the sticks. Several men had finished sharpening and were standing in the classroom nervously like guards. The next second, a burly yellow-haired man suddenly walked out of the classroom and looked at the man in front of him with reverence.

"Teacher Shido! The tools are almost ready!"

"Ok!"

Shido Koichi nodded slightly in a positive tone, pushed up the frame of his glasses on his nose, and looked at the yellow-haired man with a smile:
"Imamura, you did a great job! The next step is to wait for the right opportunity. I have found a way. When the time comes, I will take you all away safely!"

The yellow-haired Imamura suddenly looked excited, and said with his head held high:
"Yes! Teacher Shido!"

At this moment, in a classroom on the third floor of the teaching building.

After Liu Yuansheng cleaned up the remaining zombies in a classroom, he casually sat down in a seat, while reaching into the drawer, as if looking for something.

The next second, as if he touched something, Liu Yuansheng took it out and put it on the table.

It was a lunch box wrapped in a striped towel, the plastic at the bottom still retaining some warmth.

Hirano Toda stood outside the door in awe. The moment he saw the bento, his eyes suddenly lit up. He swallowed and his stomach growled uncontrollably. But without Liu Yuansheng's consent, he didn't dare to leave.

Liu Yuansheng glanced at him and said with amusement:

"What are you standing there for? Come in and find it yourself. If you want to eat, just eat it. No one will stop you."

Hirano Toda was immediately surprised:
"Hi! Brother Liu Yuan!"

Liu Yuansheng nodded, accepting the title of "Big Brother". He opened the lid of the box and said:
"The shelf life of these bento boxes is estimated to be only about two days. When you leave, you can take some with you as food for tomorrow."

"Brother Liu Yuan, do you want to save…"

Hirano Toda hesitated for a moment and looked at the lunch box he had just taken out from the table.

Liu Yuansheng glanced at him directly, took out a rice ball from his lunch box, took a bite, and said incoherently:
"There are plenty of bento boxes, and they only have a shelf life of two days. There are zombies everywhere now, and medicine is in short supply. Eat sparingly. If you are not afraid of damaging your health, then eat as much as you can!"

Hirano Toda shrank his head and scratched his hair awkwardly:

"Hi...Brother Liu Yuan."
