“How could they…”

Han Rui’s expression was somewhat blank.

They had all cheered each other up last night, agreeing to hold on for two more days, wait for the zombies downstairs to leave, and then they could all go to Shuize University Base… But, but why…

Why did they commit suicide? Just two more days would have been enough!

“What on earth is happening!”

Han Rui forced herself to calm down as her gaze became a bit stern.

Ou Yingying couldn’t bear to look directly into Han Rui’s eyes and just sobbed with her head down.

Sun Weiguang said with a sad face:

“Wife, right after Li Cheng woke up, he seemed mentally unstable, saying he wanted to die. Wu Fei and I were preparing to talk him out of it, but he suddenly jumped off the building! Wu Fei was closer, caught Li Cheng’s arm, but was dragged down with him…”

“Li Cheng didn’t seem like someone who had lost hope…”

Han Rui scratched her messy hair somewhat frantically.

Sun Weiguang secretly pinched Ou Yingying.

Ou Yingying’s body shuddered, and then she grabbed Han Rui’s arm, sobbing and pleading:

“Sister Han, let’s, let’s escape now…”

Sun Weiguang immediately grabbed Han Rui’s shoulder and shook it:

“Yes, wife, let’s get out of here quickly! Li Cheng’s suicide, apart from despair for the world, might also have been intended to create an opportunity for us. The zombies downstairs have all gone after him. We can’t let his good intentions go to waste!”

Han Rui hastily broke free from the two and went to the edge of the rooftop to look down. She saw Li Cheng with his head covered in blood, likely having landed on it, probably dead on the spot.

Wu Fei was still crawling on the ground, but his body was covered in blood, his blond hair dyed red.

Most importantly, the zombies at the door had surrounded them both, and had even started to feast… Clearly, both of them were beyond saving!

“I… we’re leaving!”

Han Rui was not the type to dawdle. Since the situation was irreversible, there was no use saying anything further. Escaping now was the most opportune decision.

She quickly led the two to pack up and go downstairs.

The stairwell was free of zombies now, and the few zombies downstairs were all attracted by the two who had fallen, making Han Rui’s path with her two companions unobstructed.

The zombies feasting on the two paid no attention to their meal and did not notice the people descending.

Han Rui immediately signaled to Sun Weiguang and Ou Yingying with hand gestures to go to the nearby wall, which wasn’t high and had no zombies nearby, making it possible to climb over and escape.

Several zombies were still at the main gate, and without using guns, they clearly couldn’t break through. Using guns would be suicidal. Therefore, climbing the wall was the best choice.

Han Rui took one last look at the two teammates surrounded by zombies in the middle, feeling very sorrowful. They had arrived as six, but now only three remained.

However, this was not the time to grieve. She did her best not to make any noise and waved to the two behind her.

Sun Weiguang and Ou Yingying hurried to follow, but during their escape, Ou Yingying felt as though someone was watching her. She instinctively looked back and saw a pair of bloodshot eyes staring intently at her from amidst the zombies.

She shivered instantly, then tightly grabbed the edge of Sun Weiguang’s clothing and ran without looking back.

Only when he saw the policewoman climb over the wall last, did Wang Tao stop filming the video.

He was initially just interested in watching the drama unfold, which was why he had taken out his phone to record it, but it turned into a witness of human ugliness.

In fact, if the group of survivors had waited a little longer, until Wang Tao drove the zombies away later, they would have had a high chance of safely leaving without any losses.

Of course, they didn’t know that. And Wang Tao had no way to contact them.

But Wang Tao didn’t think this was his fault; it was already good enough that he could save himself, let alone others. He just felt it a pity that there were two less survivors in this world…

The incident also served as a reminder for him: in this apocalypse, it’s fine to trust others, but it’s better to trust oneself!

Looking at the two survivors now surrounded and being devoured by zombies, Wang Tao picked up his weapon.

“Let’s see…”

After he was fully equipped, Wang Tao left the building and ran toward the bottom of the tall building.

Today, most of the zombies in the water plant had already left, apart from a few zombies at the gate, there were only four zombies left at the entrance of the building.

The four zombies were not a big problem for Wang Tao. Especially in such an open space, even if he couldn’t beat them, he could always run back.

Jogging up to the entrance of the tall building, the zombies, perhaps too busy feasting, did not notice Wang Tao approaching. Wang Tao, armed with a spear made from a steel pipe in one hand and a steel pipe hammer in the other, attacked the two zombies.

Wu Fei was filled with hatred.

He hated himself for being blind enough to fall for such a venomous-hearted woman!

He worked twelve hours a day, and out of his monthly salary of six thousand, he handed over four thousand to her! He’d take care of her with warmth every day, treat her to big meals on weekends, and send her various small gifts on holidays! When she was sick, he’d work during the day and spend the night in her hospital room to keep her company; when the apocalypse came, she was the first person he thought of…

He thought he had done well enough. In what way had he wronged her?

Why did she push him off the building?

“Bitch! Even as a ghost, I won’t let you go—wait, someone’s coming!”

“He, he’s killing zombies! He’s so powerful! The zombies stand no chance against him!”

“If only I had his strength…”

“Save me—”

A few minutes later.

With a thought, Wang Tao instantly stowed away the spoils of battle.

[Obtained: purified water (small) *4]

[Purified water (small): 5L, suitable for drinking]

All four zombies had dropped purified water (small), and Wang Tao could never have enough purified water.

In keeping with the excellent tradition of frugality, Wang Tao searched the four zombies again, finding several wallets and a box of cigarettes.

Then he finally turned to look at the two unlucky survivors.

The college student’s neck had been bitten off, his eyes wide open, dead without closing them.

To Wang Tao’s surprise, Blondy was not yet dead.

[10/105]

But he only had ten drops of HP left and was in a dying state.

Wang Tao squatted down in front of Blondy, looking at the unfortunate soul whose thigh, arm, one eye, and half of his face had been eaten away, and frowned as he said,

“Do you have any consciousness left? If you do, blink.”

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, Blondy excitedly blinked his eyes like mad.

“Gurgle…”

He tried to speak, but blood sprayed from his mouth as he opened it.

“If you don’t want to die, don’t talk.”

Wang Tao stripped off a few articles of clothing from a nearby zombie, quickly wrapped Blondy’s head, then grabbed his legs and dragged him back to the exterior of the small building.

“Wait outside.”

After giving him that instruction, Wang Tao went inside the building, approached the air-dropped box, and took out a bottle of Inhibitor.

He had been worried about not knowing the effects of the Inhibitor, and now, a test subject had presented itself!
