Apocalypse Shelter System

Chapter 22: Is He Here to Save Us?



"Qiang!" Shen Jiabin frowned darkly and said in a low voice, "Sit down! We are discussing our next plan right now! Our food is about to run out, and this is not the time for you to think about these things!"

Although Shen Jiabin's words seemed to be speaking on behalf of Lin Mancha, in reality, his words had another implied meaning. Everyone present was not a fool; on the contrary, they were all elites from Jiangcheng University, and they could all hear the hidden message in Shen Jiabin's words. If they found food, Shen Jiabin might not stop Zhuang Qiang from forcing himself on Lin Mancha next time.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Yeah, Qiangzi, you're going too far!" Another handsome young man in a basketball uniform also spoke up to stop him, "Also, next time you talk to Jing Yan, you'd better watch your attitude!" This young man was named Gu Fanghua, and everyone there knew that he had always been pursuing Tang Jingyan. He was a true sycophant. Whenever it involved Tang Jingyan, he would be the first to stand up for her, unconditionally supporting whatever Tang Jingyan said.

Tang Jingyan dared to speak to Zhuang Qiang like this, relying on the protection of Shen Jiabin and Gu Fanghua. Shen Jiabin was Tang Jingyan's cousin, a fact well known to the members of the basketball team, so the other two boys did not dare to pursue Tang Jingyan.

Zhuang Qiang's cheeks twitched slightly, and he reluctantly sat back down on the ground, giving Gu Fanghua a cold look without saying anything more.

It was evident that Zhuang Qiang was somewhat wary of Shen Jiabin.

The focus of this dispute, Lin Mancha, was tightly hugging her legs, her eyes filled with despair and struggle for the future, her hands continuously tugging at her dance skirt. Because of this incident, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy, and everyone fell into silence.

At this moment, a girl dressed in yoga attire, who had not been involved in the discussion, stood up and pointed excitedly in the distance, screaming, "Look, quick! That weird person is running towards us!" She was seated at an angle where she could clearly see Alex sprinting rapidly.

Alex was moving extremely fast, outpacing the ordinary zombies who couldn't attack him in time as he dashed past them. Even if a zombie happened to block Alex's path, it was promptly killed by his decisive strike.

Hearing the girl's scream, the others were also surprised and stood up, looking in the direction she was pointing. "Who is this person? Why haven't we seen him before? Is he a student from our school?"

Tang Jingyan, gazing at Alex's agile figure, curiously said, "If there was such a formidable person in our school before, we should have known about him already! If this person is willing to join our team, our chances of surviving in this apocalypse will definitely increase significantly!"

"Hmph! What's so great about him? He's just a bit braver, that's all! I remember this loser once tried to join our basketball team and was kicked out by Bin Ge. He almost became the laughingstock of our team! Just a useless level-ten cripple, what's so impressive about that?" Gu Fanghua arrogantly sneered after taking a glance through the binoculars, though his words carried a hint of jealousy.

"At least he has the courage to fight his way out! Yesterday, I saw him rescue a girl and take her to that strange city!" Lin Mancha said admiringly, "That's what a real man is like!"

Lin Mancha glanced fearfully at Zhuang Qiang, deliberately making this comment for him to hear.

"A real man? Hahaha!" Zhuang Qiang laughed mockingly. "This kid better not fall into my hands. Next time I see him, I'll make him suffer!"

"If only I had a knife like that, I could kill as many of these dumb zombies as come at me!"

Shen Jiabin, watching Alex's movements with the long-handled Mo Dao that sliced through iron as if it were mud, said enviously, "Even a level-ten cripple loser can move freely among the zombies; we should be able to do it even more easily!"

"He's getting closer! It looks like he's coming towards us!" Tang Jingyan exclaimed in surprise. "What does he want to do? Is he here to save us?"

At this point, everyone noticed the formidable man wielding a Mo Dao, running towards the gym at great speed, getting closer and closer.

"Save us?" Shen Jiabin scoffed, still resentful about their previous attempt to seek Alex's help, which he ignored, "Do we need a level-ten cripple to save us? I think this loser couldn't stay there anymore and has come to join us!"
