After the previous battle with mutated zombies, the survivors finally learned the lesson and no longer dared to shout loudly for fear of attracting the terrifying zombie again.
As for the whereabouts of the mutated zombie that attacked Zhang Fan before, no one knew. Although there was some speculation that Zhang Fan might have killed it, this possibility was too outrageous to believe.
After all, they were in the basement and did not hear the gunfire. It would be impossible for Zhang Fan to kill the mutated zombies with his bare hands!
Similarly, the survivors had a new understanding of the horrors of the outside world. The idea that some people had just raised to accompany Li Yihui to search for food completely dissipated at this moment.
Originally, Li Yihui's idea was that after he lured the zombies away, he would let other students go down and pick up the bag of food.
Who would have known that these teachers and students were all so frightened that no one wanted to go out even though the dropped schoolbag was only twenty or thirty meters away from the laboratory building.
"You really can't do this!"
Li Yihui said helplessly: "I don't know how long the end of the world will last. You have been relying on me like this. What if I can't come back one day?!"
Seeing no one answered, Li Yihui shook his head, sighed and climbed out of the window.
His words made many people feel ashamed, but due to fear, they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
The classroom that used to be lively became extremely quiet at this moment. Everyone was deep in thought and silent. It seemed that they were too hungry to speak. In fact, everyone had doubts about whether they could survive in the future.
The existence of mutant zombies makes everyone understand that there is no absolutely safe place. Even if they stay in the basement, what if there are mutant zombies that can drill holes?
In this way, time passed little by little, and it was not until almost eight o'clock in the evening that everyone finally had food.
On the other side, Zhang Fan basically finished the food he brought.
He didn't bring much from the villa, basically only three or four days' worth of food. Carrying too much on his back would be a waste of energy.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that he knows that the school has sufficient food reserves.
"Go with Li Yihui to get the weapons tonight. Let's stay in the teachers' dormitory first..."
He doesn't plan to live in the laboratory building anymore. In addition to the risk of encountering mutated zombies, the main reason is because there are no mattresses and pillows, making sleeping uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan thought of Xu Sulan again.
"I don't know what this woman would choose..."
In his opinion, after a battle with mutated zombies, Xu Sulan would most likely choose himself.
After all, when facing the crawling zombies today, except for him, the other survivors were powerless to fight back, including Li Yihui.
"Xu Sulan is a smart person!" Zhang Fan smiled, "Then come back at night to pick up the mother and daughter, and go to the teachers' dormitory together..."
With this thought in mind, Zhang Fan took a step forward and headed to where Li Yihui's group was, intending to tell Xu Sulan.
"Squeak~!"
Zhang Fan pushed the door open and walked in. He found that the survivors were no longer as enthusiastic as when they shouted slogans before. At this moment, they were all like eggplants beaten by frost, sitting on the ground with wilting.
Seeing him coming in, the survivors had different expressions.
Some people had a look of fear on their faces, some had some hope, but most of them were still curious and didn't understand what Zhang Fan was doing here now.
Only Xu Sulan was thoughtful and suspected that Zhang Fan came to find her.
Thinking like this, sure enough, the next second, Zhang Fan looked over and said: "Xu Sulan, come out for a moment!"
"Um??"
Everyone looked at Xu Sulan with some confusion, wondering why Zhang Fan asked her to go out.
"Mom, don't go..." Wang Nannan was a little worried and pulled Xu Sulan's arm, not wanting her to leave.
Xu Sulan showed a smile and said: "Nannan, don't worry, mom just went out to say a few words to him and will be back soon..."
With her soft words of comfort, Wang Nannan let go of her arms.
At this moment, Li Yihui had stood up and looked at Xu Sulan with a slight frown, as if he wanted to say something.
Xu Sulan also hesitated, but finally said nothing and left the classroom.
After she left, the originally quiet classroom suddenly became noisy.
"We're just going to let her out like this?!"
"What if Zhang Fan cheats on her!?"
"Haha, don't be so sentimental. Zhang Fan didn't tie her up. He just asked her to get out. Who's to blame if something goes wrong?!"
"What is the relationship between Zhang Fan and Xu Sulan?!"
"What kind of relationship could it be that a pair of frail mother and daughter could survive to the third day in the apocalypse? Apart from that kind of relationship, I can't think of any reason for a cold-blooded person like Zhang Fan to protect them..."
Outside the classroom.
After Xu Sulan went out, she closed the door and followed Zhang Fan to the side.
"I will go to the commercial street with Li Yihui tonight..."
Zhang Fan pointed to the machete on his waist with a smile and said: "The quality of this weapon is not good. I know where there are weapons, and I plan to go find them..."
"When we come back, I will take you to the teachers' dormitory. There are beds there so you can sleep more comfortably..."
As Zhang Fan talked, he found that Xu Sulan's face was not happy, and her eyes were not shining like before.
He suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart and frowned: "You don't want to come with me?"
Xu Sulan pursed her lips, looked into Zhang Fan's eyes, and nodded: "If I were just a person, I would definitely follow you, because I firmly believe that I can survive by following you..."
Zhang Fan was a little confused and didn't understand what she meant.
Xu Sulan explained: "But, my daughter..."
She sighed: "I know you and know that you are an extremely calm person. For you, you can clearly distinguish between everyone, things, and things..."
"There is no doubt that your life safety is the first priority. Improving your strength is the second priority. My value in your heart is only derived from the second priority..."
Seeing that Zhang Fan was silent and still thinking about something, Xu Sulan continued: "So, if your life safety is endangered, you will give up on me without hesitation..."
"I can accept these. In fact, I think that even if I am in second place, if there is a way to improve your strength that is more valuable than me, you will probably abandon me..."
Zhang Fan frowned and asked: "Do you mean Wang Nannan by saying this?"
"yes!"
Xu Sulan nodded and said: "I have carefully observed that when Wang Nannan and I stood together, you didn't even look at her. It can be seen that she is basically worthless in your eyes..."
"I'm a little scared. I don't know what I will do if one day my daughter is in danger and you don't want to save her..."
A trace of struggle flashed across Xu Sulan's face. For her, her daughter's safety is always greater than her own safety.
But soon, her eyes gradually became firm, and she said: "Li Yihui is different. Although, he may not be as powerful as you, not as calm as you, and more suitable for surviving in the apocalypse without you..."
"However, he will do everything he can to save people, to save an unrelated person!"
"I believe that even if I die one day, as long as Li Yihui is here, he will not watch my daughter die..."
