Deep in the Living

Chapter 49 Lone Wolf
The monitor and Xiaoying supported each other and returned to the rest area.
"water……"

"Oh!" The girl named Xiaoying was very smart. She immediately opened a bottle of mineral water and fed it to the class monitor.

"Huh~ Alive."

"Squad leader, where did you get these investigator's clothes?"

"How else can it be? This thing can only be given by the Investigation Bureau. The reason why they gave it to them must be that we helped them."

"Helped the Investigation Bureau? Could it be that!" Xiaoying widened her round black eyes, "You assisted them in catching the real fake person!"

"Xiaoying, you are quite smart. No wonder you always rank in the top ten in academic subjects and logical analysis."

"Hehe." For some reason, she would feel indescribably happy whenever she was praised by the monitor. "By the way, monitor, you just mentioned you guys? I didn't see anyone else wearing the same clothes as you."

"He chose another reward."

"Him? Is it Rody?"

The monitor did not respond directly, but patted Xiaoying on the head with a smile.
Xiaoying seemed to like this kind of contact very much, and she muttered softly: "No wonder your relationship has become so good~ Last semester you just ate together, and this semester you just came here..."

"Xiaoying, you don't like Luo Di, do you?"

"No! Really not." Xiaoying's head and hands kept shaking in the same frequency.

"I've seen you secretly observing Rody several times during physical education class. Let me tell you in secret, we're not boyfriend and girlfriend yet. If you like, we can compete fairly."

"Only your grades, class monitor, can get into the same place as Luo Di after you go to college. You and I are not the same kind of people. But I will work hard and try to get into the city system."

"Xiaoying, will you eat with us from now on? I remember you always go to the cafeteria alone."

"Can...is it okay?"

"Why not? Aren't we classmates?"

"Okay..." For some reason, although it was just an ordinary invitation to dinner, Xiaoying felt that her tear glands were out of control and her vision became a little blurry.

But at this moment, the sound of flesh colliding was heard, and their attention was instantly drawn to it.

On the field,

Four people including Gao Yuxuan were all eliminated, and Luo Di did not seem to choose to cooperate with his teammates, standing alone in a remote location.

Xiaoying also quickly wiped away her tears and focused on the situation on the field. "What happened? Luo Di didn't seem to cooperate with the deputy monitor and the others in the attack."

The monitor whispered, "Yes, it must be so. Can you guess why, Xiaoying?"

Xiaoying touched her head and said, "The reason, um~ the only difference between Luo Di and before is the knife in his hand.

Then, squad leader, you also said that you two had received rewards from the Investigation Bureau. Since you were given investigator's uniform, Rody's stuff must be good too.

Could it be that the knife is! "

"Xiaoying is really smart~ Watch carefully, the next one should be the most exciting performance of the night."

……

Inside the venue.

The class teacher stared at Luo Di who abandoned his teammates and chose to become a "lone wolf".

Although he regarded Rody as the best candidate, today's behavior was what he hated the most.

"Never give up, never abandon" is the important spirit he brought from his motherland, and he has also conveyed it to every student through teaching.

Now, he decided to use all his strength to curb Rody's inexplicable confidence.

As the head teacher moved forward,

Rody, who had been standing still, also moved forward.

The two of them walked at almost the same pace and looked at each other.

The head teacher was a little surprised. He did not see any confidence in Luo Di's eyes. He just looked as calm and focused as usual.

Just as the two were about to get within attack range,

Luo Di chose to take the initiative, and moved quickly to get close. He used the simplest and crudest slashing posture, the same as in the movie, and swung his sword forward.

With great force and heavy power, it chopped down vertically.

however,
This kind of attack is fine for ordinary people.

But in the eyes of the battle-hardened class teacher, it was full of loopholes.

The moves were too obvious, the swings were too wide, and the strikes were single-minded. Putting aside the power and accuracy, these were the actions that only a freshman would perform.

The head teacher dodged it easily with a side step and swung a mechanical stick at Rody's wrist.

This rapid blow at close range could not only knock off the weapon, but could even fracture the wrist, so the outcome was already decided.

Xiaoying in the rest area also noticed this and couldn't help but whispered, "Oh no!"

when!
The sound similar to that of hammering iron echoed in the venue.
When the head teacher was surprised that the feel of the strike was wrong, Rody's machete turned 180 degrees and chopped upwards.

Danger!

The head teacher moved his feet along with his body and quickly dodged and retreated, creating a distance of more than five meters.

Several strands of hair on his forehead were cut off, and he could smell the stench of corpse and decay.

The whole audience was silent.

Everyone was shocked. Even Gao Yuxuan, who already knew the nature of the weapon, showed an expression of disbelief. After all, this was the first time he saw [Zombieization].

Xiaoying, who was standing by, covered her chest with her hands and tried to lower her heartbeat as much as possible.

The head teacher stared at Rodina's zombie-like right forearm, and his previous prejudice disappeared instantly.

"I see, is this why you 'abandoned' your teammates? The corner-transforming item itself has a concealing property, and it can even hide from me.

Students who have never come into contact with abnormal events will indeed be directly affected by this thing and even develop corners of their thinking.

This thing can actually be used by minors now? And judging from your proficiency, you must have had this thing for a long time. Who gave it to you?"

"Municipal Research Bureau."

"Can the [Zombification] that this thing gives you be completely reclaimed afterwards without any side effects?"

"can."

"Very good~keep going!"

Luo Di's knife skills were very crude, basically copying the movements of the killers in the movies and the basic skills learned in physical education class.
The most he could do was to coordinate with his own body to increase the speed and power of his strikes.

Such a simple trick is unlikely to hurt the head teacher.

but,

Rody can always use his arm hardening to block damage at the right time, and then use the gap created by the block to launch a very threatening counterattack.

For a while, he actually fought back and forth with the class teacher.

But… there are still only so many variables.

The head teacher has many tricks.
The mechanical stick, which was originally used for suppression and striking, suddenly changed its trajectory and pointed out like a spear.

Rody had no time to react, and his speed was even faster than Spider-Woman.

Whoosh! The tip of the mechanical stick poked directly between his collarbones, causing a moment of suffocation.

The next second, Roddy felt that he was kicked in the abdomen while he was defenseless. He was kicked nearly ten meters away and almost slipped off the field.

The students around also retreated, fearing that they would be contaminated by the zombies' scent.

Rody covered his stabbed neck, slowly sat up with his back against the wall, and then looked at the time on his watch.

"Six minutes? That's much worse than expected."

Luo Di was not satisfied with his results, but he got affirmation from his head teacher.
Then, the next group of students came on stage.

With the end of the competition among the whole class, Luo Di basically secured the highest score in the class, but the grade ranking still depends on the final statistics.

The head teacher wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked to the rest area and stood in front of Luo Di.

"You have decided to use this weapon for a long time instead of the field straight knife I usually teach you, right?"

"Yes."

"Given your performance, I may not be in charge of the night training. However, I will still teach the physical education classes during the day.

Since you are obsessed with this most direct way of hacking, I will teach you some special techniques during the free time of physical education class.

Our country had a large sword team when it resisted the invasion of the East Island, and this hacking and killing technique was not lost after the war. "

"Thank you, head teacher."
