The Capital’s Apocalypse

–

Seeing the two of them talking together, Shen Jia couldn’t sit still. She wanted to know what they were discussing about. After what happened last night, she was also afraid to stay here alone. The students here were actually killing their classmates for food! They were even more terrifying than zombies.

She desperately wants to rejoin Jiang Song’s team, at least she had a very powerful uncle.

Jiang Song naturally saw Shen Jia’s earnest gaze, but she did not respond. Having such a person like her around is like a time bomb, because you never know when she will stab you in the back and it’ll be difficult to guard against.

After waiting for about five minutes, the broadcast outside was still going on, the voice was loud, and the sounds of the zombies around had lessened. Jiang Song knew that the time had come. She carried her bag and prepared to set off with Lin Shengsheng.

Their movements attracted Shen Tingsi’s attention, and his voice came faintly: “My niece is leaving and she doesn’t plan to take me with her?”

Such words made them sound as if they were very familiar with each other.

Jiang Song looked over and saw Shen Tingsi standing and leaning against the wall, his posture relaxed and comfortable, looking quite nonchalant.

To be honest, Jiang Song really didn’t plan to take him with her.

“Aren’t you planning to wait for rescue at school? Uncle, people with different ideas cannot work together.” Jiang Song faked a smile.

Shen Tingsi saw through it at a glance: “I’m afraid that my niece must have received some news and is leaving now.”

Jiang Song’s heart skipped a beat. Indeed, last night when everyone was asleep in the middle of the night, she saw a rescue message on her mobile phone. It said that at noon, someone would broadcast a message in the playground to attract the zombies, and then a bus would arrive at the southeast gate of the school to pick up the students.

The person who organized this rescue made the announcement anonymously. Jiang Song was not convinced by this kind of news at first because of the previous experience with Dean Zhang. But it turned out that the broadcast at noon today was true, and it did give her a way to escape. However, she did not plan to go to the southeast gate, she wanted to take this opportunity to go to the northeast gate of the school and find another way out. But she also didn’t expect that Shen Tingsi also knew about it.

Because the Internet was disconnected before everyone woke up the next day, very few people saw the message.

Jiang Song stared at Shen Tingsi’s half-smiling eyes and said, “Uncle, you’re joking. I just want to leave school.”

Shen Tingsi straightened up and put away his smile: “Okay, then I’ll go with you. After all, I promised your mother that I would take care of you.”

“Okay, thank you for your hard work, uncle.” Jiang Song replied with a smile. It was good that Shen Tingsi was willing to go with her, after all, he was a very skilled person.

Shen Tingsi was about to leave and no one dared to stop him. The senior student just stared at Jiang Song’s back with resentful eyes.

When Shen Jia picked up her schoolbag and tried to sneak away, she was grabbed by someone in the canteen.

“Who allowed you to leave?” The person who grabbed her whispered in her ear, and Shen Jia’s whole body went limp.

Shen Jia called out to Jiang Song and looked at her back with longing eyes, hoping that she could take her away, but Jiang Song didn’t even turn her head. She didn’t want to be a saint, especially when facing such a person.

Shen Tingsi glanced at Jiang Song, with an incomprehensible smile in the corner of his eyes. He followed Jiang Song and slowly walked out of the small cafeteria, closing the door and blocking Shen Jia’s helplessly desperate sight.

As expected, there were very few zombies outside. There were only dried bloodstains and various unidentifiable human tissues on the ground, the smell of blood filled Jiang Song’s nostrils.

She carefully moved along the wall to the corner, leaned over to confirm that there were only two zombies, and then began to move towards the northeast door.

Shen Tingsi had long legs and took big steps, so he soon walked ahead of her. Jiang Song originally planned to sneak around the zombies and even made a gesture to Shen Tingsi, but this person didn’t seem to understand. He swaggered towards the two zombies who were staring at the sky in a daze, and Jiang Song couldn’t even stop him.

Shen Tingsi had nothing in his hands, not even a weapon. He walked behind a zombie and blew a whistle, instantly waking the zombie from its confusion. The zombie turned around, and his dry and wrinkled face was full of bloodthirsty desire. He howled and pounced on him, but he dodged to the side, and the zombie pounced straight towards Jiang Song.

Jiang Song’s pupils shrank and she immediately raised the frying pan, but the zombie was too tall, approaching a height of 1.9 meters. Jiang Song’s pan only hit it’s shoulders, she was even pushed back several steps from the force.

Jiang Song gritted her teeth seeing Shen Tingsi watching the show not far away. He said to her unhurriedly, “You two take care of this. I’ll go deal with the one in front.”

Unable to care about anything else, Jiang Song struggled hard against the tall zombie, trying her best to keep her body steady to keep herself from being knocked to the ground by it. Lin Shengsheng took a long wooden stick removed from the mop and helped Jiang Song resist the zombie.

The two girls were both petite so the zombies’ saliva along with their loose rotten flesh on their faces fell down and hit them.

“Shengsheng, are you able to hold on?” Jiang Song asked Lin Shengsheng struggling beside her.

Lin Shengsheng gritted her teeth and nodded: “Yes.”

“Okay, hold on for a while.” After Jiang Song said that, she moved the frying pan away, and all the pressure was instantly put on Lin Shengsheng.

Jiang Song didn’t let Lin Shengsheng carry the burden alone for too long. She quickly went around behind the giant zombie and kicked it hard behind the knee. The zombie instantly fell to its knees.

The height was just right and Jiang Song didn’t waste any time. She took out a fruit knife she brought from the dormitory from her pocket and stabbed it directly into the zombie’s temple.

The zombie who was struggling to get up immediately stopped moving and collapsed to the ground. Although the battle lasted less than two minutes, Jiang Song was sweating all over. At this time, she looked back at Shen Tingsi standing not far away. She didn’t know how he dealt with the other zombie who had already fallen to the ground.

Jiang Song felt indescribable anger in her heart, and her eyes were quite gloomy at this moment. She looked at Shen Tingsi very vigilantly.

“Don’t look at me like that, my little niece. These two zombies are blocking the road and must be eliminated. You also need to practice your ability to kill zombies. I’m doing this for your own good.” Shen Tingsi explained without any guilt.

“He obviously did it on purpose.” Lin Shengsheng muttered softly.

At this time, Jiang Song caught the sound of footsteps not far away. Perhaps the previous movement attracted the nearby zombies again, so she immediately ran towards the direction of the northeast gate.

When they were about to pass the southeast gate, Jiang Song saw from afar that there was indeed a bus waiting at the gate and there were also a few people standing there, looking inside occasionally.

At the same time, several students suddenly rushed out from the opposite intersection and ran towards this side whilst followed by a lot of zombies. And so the opposite road was blocked.

Jiang Song immediately changed her plan and ran towards the southeast gate. Lin Shengsheng followed her the entire time. When Shen Tingsi saw her change her route, he also followed her in that direction.

But they were one step slower than the students from the opposite intersection. They got on the car first, and the zombies behind them were only a dangerous one meter away from Jiang Song and the others.

The bus did not wait for them and left in a hurry.
