There were about a hundred students and several teachers gathered here, and most of them looked confused and panicked.

Because they had been hiding in the auditorium, they did not see the shocking scene of the blood-colored branches enveloping the entire city.

However, the loud rumbling sound caused by the branches and vines moving back and forth, as well as the thunder caused by the Third Herrscher, still scared them to death.

"It's already this late, and you're still thinking about Mei. Don't worry, since Mei sent us a message to remind us, it means she may have known something through some channels in advance. She must be safer than us now."

Su on the side spoke a little unhappily, Mei's reminder did save them. When they saw their classmates who were in an abnormal condition, their first reaction was zombies.

Anyone who is unprepared and dares to approach will end up being bitten to the ground on the spot.

It is even possible that someone has been bitten, but the people around him still have no sense of crisis and may think that the other person is suffering from rabies.

Fortunately, the two of them shouted loudly, and finally there were no more victims.

Some strange-looking monsters appeared behind them. Fortunately, Kevin was a good fighter. He knocked down the monsters that were chasing them with a baseball bat and took the students to hide in the auditorium.

"But I really heard it. I can guarantee that it was not an illusion. If you don't believe me, listen carefully."

As Kevin said this, he seemed to hear something again. He stood up and pricked up his ears.

Su was startled because he also heard the familiar voice calling out, in addition to the sound of orderly footsteps.

The noise became louder and louder, and not only Kevin and Sue, but also the students in the auditorium heard it.

Is it... is it the rescue team that has arrived? Or have the zombies discovered them?

Just when most people were feeling anxious, the door to the auditorium was suddenly pushed open and a group of fully armed men in black rushed in.

"Don't be afraid, we are from the rescue team. Don't be nervous, you are safe now."

The cold guns and the murderous atmosphere of the army made these students feel particularly uneasy, but the gentle words that followed quickly dispelled the panic in their hearts.

Alicia walked out of the team, looked at the surviving students, and spoke with a smile.

"It's Mei. Mei is with them. She must have come here specially to save me."

Kevin's face showed a happy expression. Regardless of the advice of his friends, he stood up and ran towards Mei, as if he wanted to give her a hug.

Two members of the task force stopped the big boy, and Mei moved closer to Xu Nuo with a helpless look on her face.

"Kevin, I already have someone I like. I hope you won't say weird things in the future. At the same time, as a member of the official organization, I am here to save all the survivors, not just you."

"It seems that our Miss Mei is really popular in school. Do you want to catch up with them?"

Xu Nuo spoke very generously, while Mei shook her head.

"No need. Staying and talking to him for one more word will only give him unrealistic fantasies. For such a self-centered boy, only a decisive rejection can make him sober."

"But Mei, I really like you..."

"What does that have to do with me? I've already told you that I have a man and I'm not interested in playing such boring games with you."

"My feelings for you are serious. This is definitely not a game. Please give me a chance. I can compete with him fairly! I will show you my sincerity!"

"That's enough. How long are you going to keep pestering me? You are a person who only thinks about yourself!"

After saying this, Mei grabbed Xu Nuo, who was standing aside watching the show, held the man's head, stood on tiptoes, and offered her lips to him.

The two of them started kissing as if no one was around. At the beginning, Mei took the initiative, but after a while she was defeated by Xu Nuo's offensive.

Kevin stood there with a pale face, his expression looking very sad, as if he couldn't accept it.

But Mei's words and the scene before her reminded her that all this was true.

The goddess I love already has someone else in her heart and has no interest in me at all. She even finds me annoying.

Su sighed, hoping that after this time Kevin would be able to completely give up those naive thoughts and move on.

To be honest, when he put himself in Mei's shoes, he also felt that his blood pressure was a little high.

No matter what, at least you are still classmates and friends. If you continue to cling to them like this, won't you force others to treat you as an enemy?

You will only be happy when a girl points at your nose and tells you to go away and stop bothering her, right?

Chapter 364 Special Mutant

The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward for a moment. Xu Nuo obviously didn't expect Mei to be so bold. He actually didn't want to do anything that was too ostentatious, not to mention that the object of his show-off was a big boy.

Boys of this age are all like this. When a girl looks at him, she starts to fantasize in her heart whether he likes her.

I always feel good about myself and think I am handsome and charming.

Youth...

Of course, Xu Nuo had never seen or experienced any of the above things, he had only heard about them.

After all, at that time, he was still lying in bed and making noises.

He exerted a little force with his palm, trying to push the girl away, but Mei was like an octopus, clinging tighter and tighter, with no intention of leaving at all.

After all, I had been watching Alicia for a long time and was already a little angry. Now that it was just a little bit like that, it was natural that I couldn't control myself.

Not to mention, there were so many people watching around, including former familiar classmates, which gave Mei an indescribable wonderful feeling.

As expected, I have become a bad girl...

Thinking of this, Mei closed her eyes, and the expression on her face became more and more intoxicated.

Xu Nuo was a little helpless, but still responded gently to the enthusiastic girl's enthusiasm.

At this moment, a noise accompanied by crying sounded among the students.

"Stop it, what are you going to do to Haruna-san!"

"Aren't you from the rescue team? Haruna-san is already injured, what exactly are you planning to do?!"

Kevin and Su turned around and looked behind them. Mei also subconsciously loosened her hands, then raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound with a confused look.

I saw several members of the task force roughly pushing a girl to the ground. Several students wanted to help, but were pushed away by them.

"Wait, stop it, what are you doing?!"

Kevin rushed forward. The white-haired boy was indeed in good physical condition and he actually suppressed a member of the task force in the first moment.

However, after a burst of gunfire and the screams of some girls, Kevin calmed down.

Although Kevin is a good fighter, he is not Superman after all. Seeing several black gun muzzles pointing at him, he tactfully raised his hands.

Mei didn't say anything, just looked at the man in front of her, waiting for him to give an explanation.

"Honkai disease, that girl must have been bitten."

"Is there no other way?"

"no way."

Xu Nuo shook his head slightly, and Mei also lowered her head with a lost look.

She did not say anything willful, but accepted the fate that the girl was about to face.

"Hey, how can you just shoot so casually? These people are all students!"

Alicia put her hands on her hips and angrily scolded her subordinates.

"I'm sorry, Captain, but this brat was too ruthless."

The team member who was beaten rubbed his painful cheek and looked a little aggrieved.

"You can't even beat a student, so you should be the one reflecting on yourself!"

Perhaps because he felt a little embarrassed, the team member lowered his head as he listened to what Alicia said.

"Who are you... and what do you want to do?"

"I understand your anger, and I understand your desire to protect your companions, but that girl is beyond saving. You must have seen how ordinary people turn into zombies. Since she has been infected, there is nothing we can do about it."

Alicia sighed. When she first stepped onto the battlefield, she had hesitated, but after seeing more, she had become accustomed to and accepted this fact.

Those who are completely eroded by the Honkai disease will become dead soldiers, and will be transformed from familiar companions into monsters that only know how to attack living things.

"No... I don't want to die. I haven't turned into a monster. Look, I'm fine. I'm not a monster!"

The girl who was controlled by two task force members screamed in fear, her face was distorted and hideous, her skin was as pale as paper, and her strong desire to survive made it impossible for the two adult men to control her body for a moment.

"No, it's a special mutant, shoot it on the spot!"

Soon, the team leader in charge of maintaining order realized that something was wrong. How could an ordinary student-turned-killer be stronger than two fully-armed elite soldiers?

It was obvious that this girl was a special mutant and her powers had increased.

"I'm not a monster!"

She roared, broke free from the two men who were holding her body down, and then rushed towards the group of teachers and students on the side.

Gunshots rang out, and large-caliber bullets pierced through the girl's body. Within just a few seconds, nearly a hundred bullets were shot into her body. The girl, who had just turned into a dead soldier, was directly shot into a sieve.

The huge kinetic energy caused her limbs to twist strangely, accompanied by crackling sounds, as if she was dancing.

The members of the task force were well-trained and their shooting was accurate, with not a single shot missing and no innocent people in the auditorium being affected.

Amid a shrill scream like an air raid siren, the girl, bleeding profusely, staggered to her knees and stretched out her hands forward.

"I'm not... a monster..."

After murmuring the last words, the girl’s eyes lost their luster and her head, which had been held high, drooped down.

Whatever she had become, it was clear that she was now dead.

At this moment, even Alicia didn't say anything. The girl just sighed and seemed a little upset.

Special mutant individuals, occasionally appearing among the dead soldiers.

Compared with ordinary suicide soldiers, special individuals are more powerful, and sometimes even bullets cannot effectively kill them.

Ordinary infected people are temporarily controlled and not taken action until they really turn into dead soldiers. However, in order to ensure the safety of task force members, special individuals will be killed as soon as they are discovered, even if there is only a slight sign.

After the hysterical scream, there was an uncontrollable cry. Kevin stared blankly at the girl kneeling in front of him.

He knew this girl. She had sent him love letters several times and would always have a shy smile on her face every time she saw him.

In the last moments of her life, she rushed towards the direction where she was standing, and her outstretched hands seemed to be asking for help.

But Kevin did not respond to the girl's expectations. He stood there in a daze, as if he was frightened by the sudden change and the intensive gunfire.

By the time the boy reacted, the girl had turned into a cold corpse. Her pretty face, which used to smile so beautifully, was shattered by bullets and covered in blood, and her original appearance could no longer be seen.

Chapter 365: Scientific Rigor

Kevin couldn't help but shed tears. The sentimental boy obviously blamed himself for the death of the girl in front of him.

The boy staggered to his knees and held the girl's hand that she stretched out to him.

Such an action also made the members of the task force feel uneasy. It was obvious that rash contact with the blood of special mutants was a high-risk behavior and there was a high possibility of infection. Immediately, someone wanted to pull away this fearless white-haired boy.

However, Alicia gave her subordinates a look, asking them to stay calm.

Sweet singing came from outside the house. Eden's voice was particularly recognizable and many people could recognize it.

Her singing seemed to contain a special power, which made many people stop crying and their panicked hearts gradually calm down.

It looks like Eden has fixed the sound system?

There are indeed some traces of mental power. It seems that Eden has not been idle these days.

"There should be more than just these few survivors at Qianyu Academy. Do you want to look somewhere else?"

Xu Nuo said this, and Mei nodded slightly, intending to leave here with the man.

At this time, Kevin, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up and called out to the two people who were about to leave.

"and many more!"

Mei didn't want to pay attention to the other party, but Xu Nuo stopped. The girl seemed helpless and could only turn around with him.

At first glance, I noticed that Kevin had undergone a huge change compared to before.

The immature expression on the boy's face disappeared, replaced by solemnity and seriousness. He did not look at Mei again, but stared at Xu Nuo.

"You are not an ordinary rescue team, right? I want to know everything. I want to join you. I want... I want revenge on the one who made us all like this!"

Having gotten rid of his love-sick mind, Kevin now looks a bit like a savior.

"Don't let hatred cloud your mind. What we are doing is not to seek revenge on anyone. We are the guardians of civilization. Everything we do is to continue the civilization of mankind as much as possible."
