You call this a love game?

If the main target dies, then the identity advantage provided at the start will lose its effect, wasting an identity and such a suitable talent, which he is unwilling to do.

However, the driver, who had witnessed the horrific scene, was clearly unwilling to go back. He shook his head, trembling, his eyes filled with terror.

"No...I don't want to...You go back by yourself, I absolutely will not go back..."

"Then get out of the car quickly and let me handle this." Bai Yu exerted a little force, increasing the intensity of his threat once again.

Feeling the hand tightening around his neck, a feeling of suffocation washed over him. In a panic, he quickly reached out and slapped at the arm that was clamping his neck like an iron clamp.

"I...I'll get off the bus...Please...please let me go..."

Seeing this, Bai Yu let go of his hand, allowing the driver to hurriedly push open the door. He didn't even have time to close the door before he found a place with fewer zombies and fled the scene in a panic.

Sitting in the car, Bai Yu braced himself with both hands, shifted his body, and gracefully moved to the driver's seat on the right. He casually closed the door, released the handbrake, stepped on the gas, and steered the car towards his destination following the navigation on his phone.

Megurigaoka Academy.

"The concept of 'permanent existence in the world' in 'The Abbot's Chronicle' reflects the Abbot's view of impermanence..."

On the platform, Sakura Ji was writing on the blackboard, chalk dust falling in a whooshing sound as it rubbed against the blackboard.

Suddenly, she stopped writing on the blackboard, immediately turned around, and stared sharply at a seat in the last row of the classroom.

"Zhangqiang, can you explain the special meaning of this word in Heian literature?" She tapped the two characters "无常" (wúcháng, meaning impermanence) on the blackboard.

"Ah!" Yuki Takeya, who had been caught peeking at a comic book behind her textbook, mischievously stuck out her tongue, stood up, scratched her head, and stared at the words on the blackboard, completely puzzled.

"It's...that...um...I don't know, Sister Ci, hehe..."

It's almost as if she was raised by her husband and couldn't understand those strange things at all. As for understanding what they meant, that goes without saying. She had no idea and simply gave up on herself.

"I told you not to call me Sister Ci! Call me Teacher Sakura!" Sakura Ci looked a little unhappy. She widened her eyes and glared at Takeya Yuki with great dissatisfaction, but her eyes were full of helplessness and doting.

"Yes, Sister Ci!" Yuki Takeya immediately responded loudly.

"Sigh...really..." Sakura Megumi, who was completely at a loss for words with the girl, simply gave up on continuing to argue about the form of address.

Just then, the school bell rang, and the classroom began to stir.

Seeing this, Sakura Ji quickly suppressed the excitement in the classroom and whispered to Takeya Yuki, who was about to run away from the back row.

"Zhang Qiang, remember to stay after school for tutoring. You need to work on your midterm grades."

"Eh!" Takeya Yuki said with a reluctant expression, "Teacher~ can I not have tutoring?"

"No, that won't do." Sakura Ji still refused her with a gentle expression.

The girl pouted, feeling wronged, and had no choice but to sit back down.

The students in the classroom packed up their bags and left one after another. Yuki Takeya lay on the table, her chin resting on the surface, her fingers idly poking at the edge of her textbook.

As Sakura Ji organized her lesson plans, she caught a glimpse of the girl's listless appearance out of the corner of her eye, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Am I not suited to be a teacher...?

She recalled the words of admonition the head of the teaching department had given her that morning.

She was always too close to these students, treating them like friends, as can be seen from how Yuki Takeya addressed her.

It's Sister Ci, not Teacher Sakura.

But she couldn't bring herself to be cruel to these lovely children.

It seems she really isn't suited to be a teacher...

Sakura Ji took a brand-new test paper, walked to Takeya Yuki's desk, and gently tapped the surface. "Stop daydreaming, do this test first. Your midterm exam results were really bad."

"Eh—" Takeya Yuki drawled, slowly straightening up. "Sister Ji, can we go buy ice cream after tutoring?"

Sakura Ji sighed and ruffled the girl's fluffy pink hair. "You'll only get a reward if you finish the questions carefully."

"Great!" Yuki Takeya instantly perked up, grabbed her pen, and began answering the questions with a worried expression.

Seeing the cheerful girl in front of her, Sakura Megumi's mood was also infected by her joy.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated a few times in her pocket. She took it out and saw three unread messages from her mother on the screen.

With a swipe of her finger, she unlocked her phone and began reading the message her mother had sent.

But when she saw the first message, her body froze instantly.

"Good afternoon, Ci. Did you go on the blind date I arranged for you? I hope you take this date seriously. I know you're still young, but if being a teacher isn't really suitable for you, becoming a full-time housewife isn't a bad option either. Anyway, get to know each other first. Everything's fine on my end."

Blind date...

Dating......

She finally understood where the pent-up anger in her heart had been.

She had completely forgotten about it!

I glanced at the time; it was already 6:30 PM, and her appointment was at 5:30 PM!

School ends around four o'clock. I drive home, rest, take a shower, and then head over there.

Although she wasn't very willing to go on this blind date, she had to obey her mother's orders. Besides, her mother wasn't asking her to get married immediately; she was just telling her to get to know each other and see how things went. So she wasn't too resistant to it.

But now everything's messed up!

Looking at the empty chat window with my blind date, the latest message was sent last night to arrange a meeting place, and there has been no further communication since then.

Oh no... Could the other person think she did it on purpose...?

Sakura Ji's fingers hovered above the keyboard that popped up in the dialog box, trembling slightly.

Ruined......

She bit her lip, her fingers tapping and deleting on the keyboard several times before finally sending out a dry, curt message: "I'm so sorry! I was tutoring students at school and forgot about our date today!"

After sending the message, she immediately placed her phone face down on the table, as if that would allow her to avoid receiving a reply.

Hearing the noise, Yuki Takeya looked up in confusion. "Sister Ci? You look terrible."

"N-nothing..." Sakura Megumi forced a smile, rubbed her temples, and her ahoge (cowlick) hung listlessly on her head, as if all her energy had been drained away.

The other person is definitely angry; they've probably already told their mom...

She imagined her mother's disappointed expression, and a sudden throbbing pain shot through her head. Just as she was considering whether to call and apologize, a series of chaotic screams suddenly erupted outside the teaching building.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Whoa!" Yuki Takeya, who was concentrating on answering the questions, was so startled that she jumped up from her chair, and her pencil rolled to the ground.

Sakura Ji suddenly looked out the window. The students who were originally engaged in a passionate exercise on the playground were now piled on top of each other, their blood gushing from their necks.

The students scattered like headless flies. A man in a suit tackled a girl in a school uniform, and blood splattered on the rubber track, a sight so glaring it made one dizzy.

Looking at the students below behaving strangely, and the blood that didn't look like a prop at all, Sakura Megumi's mind went blank.

"What...what happened..." Yuki Takeya leaned against the windowsill, her voice trembling.

"Don't look!" Sakura Ji quickly grabbed Takeya Yuki's wrist and pulled her back.

Chapter 117 Losing Parents, Identified as a Wealthy Man

The radio suddenly crackled, followed by a piercing alarm.

"Emergency! All teachers and students, immediately seal all doors and windows! Repeat—uh...ah...hoo!"

The public address system suddenly crackled to life, emitting a low growl that sounded inhuman.

Yuki Takeya's face turned deathly pale, her fingers gripping Sakura Megumi's sleeve tightly. "Megumi-nee, what happened?"

Sakura Megumi's throat was dry. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

She was equally terrified by what had suddenly happened, but as a teacher, she couldn't show her fear in front of her students; she had to be strong.

She cleared her throat, about to find a reason to explain temporarily, when the classroom door was suddenly pushed open.

"Teacher! Lock the door right away!"

A girl with purple hair tied in pigtails rushed in, her skirt stained with a suspicious dark red liquid, and a small piece of her uniform collar was torn. She was breathing very rapidly.

"Outside...outside there are man-eating monsters!"

It was the height of summer in July, and the sun outside was warm, but Sakura Megumi felt icy cold all over.

"teacher!"

Ebisu Kurumi reminded him again, and Sakura Megumi finally snapped out of her daze.

"Huh? Ah! I know!" She bit her finger, glanced at the still empty corridor, and turned to Huifei Xuzawa Kurumi, saying, "Huifei Xuzawa, let's go to the rooftop. There shouldn't be many people there, and the view is more open. If there really is a man-eating monster... the classroom isn't safe either."

In just a few seconds, she came up with a reasonably good place to take refuge.

There is only one door on the rooftop, and all they need to do is guard that door. Basically, no one can break in. However, there is also a drawback: once that door is breached, they will have nowhere to retreat.

But time was of the essence, and there was no time to find them a good hiding place. Upon receiving the teacher's instructions, Hui Feixu Ze Hu Tao pushed open the door and stepped out first.

"Teacher, I'll go first, you all hurry up and follow."

She was holding a broomstick, which she had somehow gotten her hands on, and was cautiously probing the way ahead.

Although she appeared brave, she was actually terrified inside, and her hand holding the broomstick was still trembling slightly.

Recalling the horrific scene just now, she couldn't help but want to close her eyes.

She was running on the playground when she suddenly saw a car outside go out of control and crash into the school, smashing a large area on the playground. Then, the guys rolled off the car and pounced on everyone. She watched helplessly as her track and field club members were tackled to the ground one by one, the blood spurting from their necks instantly snapping her out of her daze.

She wanted to help those classmates, but when she saw that the bitten classmates also stood up shakily a few seconds later and rushed towards other classmates, she knew that they were beyond saving.

On her way back to the teaching building, she was almost attacked by a zombie hiding in a dark corner of the stairwell. Luckily, there was a broom nearby. In a moment of panic, she picked up the broom and stabbed the zombie. After barely pushing it away, she dared to approach Sakura Megumi.

Take a deep breath...

Hui Feixu Ze Hu Tao carefully walked to the corner, first quickly peeking out to see if those guys were still there. After finding it safe, he waved to the two people behind him to follow. They moved slowly step by step and finally arrived at the rooftop.

The door to the rooftop was opened by someone, but two faint growls coming from inside made Hui Feixu Ze Hu Tao instantly sense that something was wrong.

"Wait!" She beckoned the two to stop. "There seem to be people inside... I mean, those cannibals."

"Ah! Well..." Sakura Megumi's brows furrowed instantly, and an anxious look appeared on her face. "Then let's go down first and find a classroom to stay in for the time being."

Hui Feixu Ze Hu Tao shook his head, "No, no need. If there's only one, I'm still confident."

Indeed, she noticed that those guys weren't actually that strong, and their speed was nowhere near as impressive as hers, the ace of the track and field team.

If there were only one, she would have a good chance of using the broomstick in her hand to outmaneuver it and drive it off the rooftop.

"Is this really okay? Hui Feixuze, please don't push yourself!"

"Don't worry, teacher, I'm really good!" Hui Feixu Ze Hu Tao laughed heartily and gave himself a thumbs up.

Although that's what she said, she wasn't really sure herself.

Theoretical operation is ultimately just theory; whether it will actually work in practice is still uncertain.

But if we give up the rooftop, which is a pretty good spot, we won't have as many opportunities to find a classroom to hide in anymore.

Putting aside the fact that the three of them might not be able to guard both classroom doors, those guys could appear on both sides of the corridor. If that happened, they would be completely trapped inside.

At least there's a small room on the rooftop where we can hide, and I heard they've even planted some crops there. The students from the horticulture department are taking care of them every day, so we don't have to worry about food and drink for now.

This is also why Sakura Megumi subconsciously thought of this place.

But... where did the students from the Horticulture Club go? Have they turned into those guys too?

Sakura Ji tightly gripped the cross on her chest with both hands, held it to her forehead, and silently prayed for the students.

Just as Hui Feixuze was about to attack the rooftop, Bai Yu also encountered some considerable trouble.

The car he stole from someone else overturned.

It's no wonder this is the apocalypse; the city's roads and transportation are completely unusable.

He could just run over the zombies on the roadside; the car might get damaged, but it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, it wasn't his car, and he didn't plan to use it forever.

But he wasn't the only car on the road; there was this other car coming straight at him from the opposite direction.

The hoods of both cars were blown high into the air, billowing white smoke, and the airbags inside the cars had deployed.

Bai Yu tried to start the car and leave, but no matter how he turned the key, the car remained unresponsive.

What bad luck...
