Zongman: The End of the Universe

Chapter 15. "Good Friends Forever"

"Twenty people?!"

Komuro Takashi frowned in shock.

"Ah."

Takagi Saya nodded calmly and then explained:
"Although I don't want to admit it, what that guy surnamed Liu said is right. The sealing conditions of bento boxes are not good, so the shelf life is at most three days. We searched so many classrooms but only found 22 boxes. The rest must have been taken away. Calculated as two meals a day, the missing bento boxes are almost enough for 20 people."

"Oh! I see! Takashiro-kun is really smart!"

Marikawa Shizuka praised with a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Humph! I'm a genius!"

Saya Takagi's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she raised her head and looked away.

When everyone heard Saya Takagi's analysis, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all saw a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

Zombies broke out and the city fell. In this situation, numbers mean strength. What's more, Brother Liu Yuan's goal is to build a shelter, so the number of people becomes even more important!

"Then maybe we can work together! And leave this school!"

Komuro Takashi said excitedly. The others thought of the same thing, but did not immediately agree. They couldn't help but look at Takagi Saya. With Liu Yuansheng not here, Takagi Saya was the smartest one.

Takagi Saya glanced at Komuro Takashi, lowered her head and frowned slightly, and said in a calm tone:

"Although I don't want to discourage you, this idea is unlikely..."

"why?"

Ishiiwa frowned.

Gao Cheng Saya glanced at him, sighed, and said slowly:

"Don't you think it's amazing? The zombie outbreak lasted only half a day, and in the chaos, most of the food on one floor disappeared... Such execution ability can only be achieved through teamwork, so there must be a leader among them."

"There can't be two tigers in the same jungle. If they cooperate, Liu's desire for control will definitely make him not cooperate with the leader honestly. The final result can only be one side swallowing up the other. Besides...you said that with twenty people, can't they see Liu Yuansheng clearing zombies in the outer corridor?"

Having said this, Takagi Saya looked out the window in the corridor, and the conspicuous pile of corpses was still quietly piled there.

"They must have seen it, but there was still no movement. They chose to ignore it. Why?"

“There’s only one reason.

That is, they are unwilling to cooperate with a dangerous guy like Liu Yuansheng.

Therefore, not only is it impossible for us to cooperate, we might even become enemies..."

After hearing this, the eyes of the three people including Komuro Takashi, Hirano Toda and Miyamoto Rei narrowed and their hearts sank. Only Marikawa Shizuka remained carefree. In her eyes, Liu Yuansheng was invincible. As long as they followed Liu Yuansheng, they didn't have to worry about anything.

Ishii Kazu didn't care at all, because no matter what the situation, he would stand on Liu Yuansheng's side.

"Don't think too much. We are not the ones who make the final decision. Let's wait for Brother Liu Yuan to make the final decision."

Everyone was silent for a while, and it was Komuro Takashi who spoke up to stop everyone from thinking.

"Now that we have collected the information, let's go back the same way and quickly tell Brother Liu Yuan the information."

Everyone nodded, each helped Marikawa Shizuka carry some lunch boxes, and then walked towards the classroom where they were going to start.

At the same time, there is a technical college building on one side.

The women's restroom at the end of the corridor on the second floor was packed with people.

Dozens of zombies crowded the area. They pushed each other, roared, and banged on the door of a compartment. Their ferocious eyes flashed with desire for flesh and blood living things.

They sensed the scent of humans inside!
"Roar!!!"

The wooden compartment door kept shaking under the continuous banging of the zombies, making a creaking sound as it could not bear the weight.

The two girls, with fear on their faces, desperately held against the door of the cubicle. Tears of despair kept flowing from their eyes, but they dared not make a sound and could only hold against the door and sob in pain.

Fortunately, the space inside the toilet was squeezed by dozens of zombies, and the zombies that were hitting and slapping did not have enough space to exert force. Even though their strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, they still could not destroy the door after hitting it for such a long time.

How did it become like this... It was all normal at the beginning... How did everyone become like this...

They had persisted here for nearly an hour, and both their physical and mental strength were reaching the limit. The despair of death was like a hungry and ferocious beast, patrolling their hearts, waiting for the two to relax and then swallowing them up in one gulp.

"No...no chance..."

The bun-haired girl named Meiling leaned against the wooden door with a numb expression, her lips moving as she muttered to herself like a possessed person.

The girl next to her named Huimei was also in despair and tears were streaming down her face, but she still gritted her teeth and held the door tightly to prevent the zombies from breaking through.

……

The water mixed with blood splashed into the pool. Liu Yuansheng slowly cleaned the handle of the knife that was soaked in blood. The linen handle seemed a little slippery. Although it was not a big deal, Liu Yuansheng did not want any accidents to happen because of this.

As no more blood could be squeezed out of the linen cloth, Liu Yuansheng carefully placed the iron blade against the edge of the pool and put it on the ground. The thirty-kilogram iron blade fell to the ground with a dull thud. Liu Yuansheng was used to it and began to wash his palms.

Suddenly, a rhythmic sound of footsteps was heard from the corridor on one side, and Busujima Saeko's calm voice came from behind:
"Yuansheng, there seems to be someone down there."

The crossed fingers paused, and Liu Yuansheng looked back at Busujima Saeko in surprise:

"sure?"

“Almost all the zombies on the second floor have crowded into the toilet. I suspect someone is hiding in the toilet cubicle.

Yuansheng, are we going to rescue them?"

Liu Yuansheng shook off the blood on his palm, thought for a while, and suddenly sighed:

"Give it a try, but don't do it, Saeko."

A smile suddenly appeared on Busujima Saeko's pretty face. Although she would not object to any of Liu Yuansheng's orders, she was still very happy that Liu Yuansheng was willing to save people at this moment.

The two men stepped over a field of broken limbs and debris, their feet stepping on the blood-covered ground, making a sticky "pa pa pa" sound.

The moment he walked out of the stairwell, Liu Yuansheng also saw the magnificent scenery on the second floor.

In the corridor that was neither wide nor narrow, dozens of zombies were blocking the other side of the corridor as if they were in a subway. Their suppressed and low bloodthirsty roars were intertwined. From a distance, they looked like middle-aged women frantically grabbing things in the discount section of a supermarket.

"Saeko, you go ahead and clear the battlefield. I'll go first." Seeing this somewhat funny scene, Liu Yuansheng raised his eyebrows, said a few words, and rushed towards the group of zombies.

Busujima Saeko nodded and followed closely, obediently not taking any action rashly. The two of them cleared out the zombies on one floor. Although Liu Yuansheng was the main force and slaughtered nearly a hundred zombies, she was also very tired. Her arm was sore from swinging the knife, and she felt extremely weak at the moment.

Liu Yuansheng knew this, so he was not prepared to let Busujima Saeko get involved.

Blood and broken limbs flew everywhere. Liu Yuansheng was extremely skilled in slaughtering zombies. With just one slash of the knife, a zombie would fall to the ground with a thud.

As more and more zombies were slaughtered, the noisy roars gradually became sparse. Suddenly, in the toilet cubicle, the girl with black pigtails was stunned, and suddenly said to the girl next to her in surprise:
"Meiling! Meiling! Did you hear that sound?"

The girl with the bun had a dazed look on her face and numbly leaned against the toilet door, like a puppet.

"Meiling! It seems someone is here to rescue us!"

save…

I…

help me……

Save me? Who save me?!
The pair of dull and gray eyes suddenly showed a surprising bright color, like a glow, and the girl's desperate face suddenly showed a chilling ecstasy:

"Emi! Emi! Who's coming to save me?!"

Facing such an excited Meiling, Huimei felt inexplicably scared:
"Meiling...listen, are the noises outside much quieter?"

Meiling's ecstatic face showed a hint of uneasiness, and the force she was holding against the door loosened. She tried to make herself hear the difference, but how could she possibly hear it with her anxious and paranoid heart?

"I heard it! I heard it! Huimei! I heard it! It's missing! It's missing! We are saved! We are saved! Huimei!!!"

Without waiting for Huimei to answer, she shouted excitedly:
"Is there anyone?! Is there anyone?! There must be someone! There must be someone! I'm here! I'm here!! Save me! Come save me! Save me! I will agree to whatever you ask!!!"

The girl shouted regardless of the consequences, with a morbid ecstasy on her face, as if she would be rescued soon.

But her cries were doomed to be in vain. Her voice was hoarse, and had long been hoarse beyond recognition. Her previous despair and crying made her voice as noisy and dry as a crow's cry, almost identical to the roar of a zombie.

The only one who could hear it was Emi who was beside her.

"Meiling...Meiling, calm down..."

But she still enjoyed it and kept shouting as if no one could hear her.

"Meiling... don't be like this... I'm scared... aren't we good friends for life?"

"..."

Meiling's shouting suddenly stopped. She suddenly turned to look at Huimei, her eyes wide open, full of puzzled doubts:

"Why didn't you call for help, Huimei? Don't you want me to live? Aren't we lifelong friends? Why didn't you call for help?"

Huimei was a little frightened by her gaze, and explained timidly:

"We just need to hold on... They must have discovered us... We just need to hold on—"

boom!
The zombies outside the door suddenly pounded harder, and the terrifying force directly created a crack in the door, causing Huimei to scream in fear.

"Oh... yes... you must not want me to survive... it must be... it must be like this..."

But Meiling's expression remained calm. She leaned against the wooden door, her lips moving, her eyes staring blankly at the ground, and she muttered to herself.

boom!
Again!
The zombies in the toilet gradually walked out of the toilet, and the zombies outside the door were hitting the door with increasing strength. The terrifying force hit the door again and again. The door groaned under the heavy burden and was about to collapse.

Meiling suddenly raised her head and looked at Huimei:

"Emi, if we continue like this, we won't be able to hold on until someone comes to save us! We have to save ourselves!"

“Emi, I’ll count to three, two, one. Let’s let go together. We can seize the opportunity and knock away the monster outside. Let’s rush out! If we rush out, we’ll be saved!”

"real…?"

"Yeah! Believe me! Huimei! Aren't we friends for life?!"

Huimei's eyes froze, she was shaken, yes, they were lifelong friends, Meiling would not harm her... Her frightened brain was in a mess, she could not judge the feasibility of this plan at all.

"Okay...Okay! Meiling, I'll listen to you!"

"Okay, Emi."

Meiling nodded frantically in surprise.

"three."

"two."

"one--"

"let go!"

boom!
The moment he let go, the zombie blasted the door open with a hammer, and two living humans suddenly appeared in front of it. The fresh flesh and blood made it let out a terrifying roar, and then it pounced forward.

Huimei was about to grit her teeth and run out of the cubicle, but the next second, she felt a sudden push from her back——

As she moved forward, her center of gravity suddenly lost balance, and her expression suddenly froze. A question suddenly flashed through her mind -

Who pushed me?
Who?
……

The next second, Huimei fell into the zombie's arms with a dazed look on her face. At the end of her sight was that familiar figure.

She ran away without even looking back...

Ran……

"Meiling!!!!"

In an instant, her face became hideous!

puff!

Instantly!

Blood gushed out like a fountain!
