Chapter 103: Chapter 89: Student Clique (Daily Ten Thousand Ends, None Today)
“What’s happening…”
Three more figures appeared quickly behind them, a total of four people, three men and one woman.
The group looked quite disheveled, similar to how Tan Huajun had looked when they first saw him, wearing several layers of spring and autumn clothing. Their hair was messy, their faces weren’t looking too good, and their shoes were stained with various colors. Only the sole female looked a bit better, with some original skin color visible on her face, but her mental state was bad as well.
“Who are you, where did you come from, what do you want to do?”
Zhang Su straightforwardly fired off a series of questions.
Faced with Zhang Su’s questions, one of the newcomers, a man in a baseball cap, was quite displeased and said, “Hey, are you kidding? We’re not zombies, what do you mean by this?”
“Hanzhou, don’t speak recklessly. In this situation outside, it’s not wrong for others to be cautious. Don’t you remember that guy yesterday?”
The first young man who had run to the store entrance stopped his companion’s reckless words, then looked at Zhang Su, “Bro, we’re technical college students. We escaped from school three days ago, and for now… for now, we don’t know what to do…”
Zhang Su and his group exchanged glances, clearly seeing the disbelief in each other’s eyes.
The technical college was a specialized school located in the north of Qin City, a full three kilometers away from where they were!
Three kilometers!
The distance from Sheng Qin Home to Yileiwen Convenience Store is not even this far!
“How did you four come such a long way?”
Zhang Su didn’t overly doubt their identity, as appearances and demeanor suggested they were indeed students. However, he wanted to know how they managed to travel such a distance!
Was it just relying on the broken table legs and hollow steel pipes in the hands of the three male students?
“It’s not four.”
The leading man suddenly became downcast and sad, saying, “When we left, there were eleven of us, but… but now there are only the four of us left…”
When discussing this topic, the four were noticeably sorrowful, and the girl even teared up, silently grieving.
Zhang Su glanced outside, cautiously saying, “Come inside and talk.”
Zheng Xinyu and the others made some space, but they didn’t put away their weapons.
Hearing this, the four students hurriedly entered the store, initially intending to find a place to sit. However, they found the floor charred, making it uncomfortable to walk, let alone sit. They couldn’t find a flat spot to step on.
“How did you manage to come over several kilometers from the technical college?”
Zhang Su asked again.
“We escaped three days ago under the cover of night. Initially, we just hid and ran along the streets. Later, we saw many shops selling electric bikes on the North Port Road, so each of us got an electric bike…”
The leading man seemed a bit embarrassed when talking about getting the electric bikes. After all, they had stolen a total of eleven electric bikes, which was a bit out of line for law-abiding students.
“Why did so many of your companions die afterward?”
Zhang Su frowned and asked.
At the mention of this question, the four were visibly distressed, and the leading man said, “After riding the electric bikes, a few became overconfident… I don’t mean disrespect to the deceased…”
“Why bother explaining so much, it was their own fault!”
The man named Hanzhou chimed in.
The leading man sighed, “After they got on the bikes, they started teasing zombies. One accidentally fell, causing a chain reaction. The zombies swarmed over, and we didn’t even dare to try and help…”
Zhang Su and the others fell silent; this was indeed a classic case of “seeking death ends in death.” Their courage was truly up there, and they paid with their lives.
“Brothers and sisters, could you spare some food? We haven’t eaten for over a day.”
The leading man asked shamelessly, removing his own deflated backpack to prove they were at their wits’ end.
“We have extremely limited supplies and can’t help you!”
Zhang Su waved his hand, rejecting their request.
The leading man looked sullen, then turned to the seemingly more approachable Tan Huajun, “Auntie, we are truly hungry, we lost our food bag to a zombie attack yesterday. Just one portion each, can you spare us just one portion of food?”
Tan Huajun awkwardly smiled, pointing to Zhang Su, “You should ask him instead.”
Before the young man could speak again, Zhang Su shook his head and said, “Go look outside, there is food everywhere.”
“You… you are so cold-blooded. With the world out there like this, shouldn’t humanity unite to face a common enemy? We should just perish!”
The man called Hanzhou was furious, yanked off his baseball cap, squatted on the ground, and began to cry.
“Man, what a wimp… He’s crying, Brother Su, look at him!”
Lu Yubo heartlessly mocked Chen Hanzhou.
Zhang Su discreetly gave Lu Yubo a look, thinking: Did you forget how you cried at the gas station yesterday?
“You can have food, but you must exchange something useful for it!”
Zhang Su finally relented. Chen Hanzhou’s words resonated with him somewhat. Yeah, with the world so messed up, shouldn’t humanity unite a bit?
He wanted to unite with people, but human nature was so nasty, including his own. There was a very ugly side to it, so when facing strangers, he was very cautious.
“Bro, my name is Kuang Miao, what’s yours? We are willing to trade, we can trade!”
Leading man Kuang Miao nodded repeatedly.
“Zhang Su, they call me Brother Su. You can call me that too if you want. Since you’re willing to trade, show us something useful.”
