Chapter 22: Killing

The dialogue among the many three people did not result in any substantial progress, however their understanding of superpowers continued to deepen.

Their present scenario was akin to being trapped on a abandoned island, fully unaware of what was taking place outdoors. They did not understand how many individuals had been nonetheless alive or what situation they had been in.

Due to this fact, all they may do was repeatedly enhance and strengthen themselves to face the risks that may come at any time.

This was undoubtedly essentially the most vital survival disaster humanity had encountered in 1000’s of years.

However for the 9 college students of Class 4 of their senior yr, life was nonetheless bearable.

A minimum of they’d some roasted flatbread to eat.

“Is everybody awake? I am going to go make breakfast,” Chen Mu provided, feeling accountable.

“No want, we will not allow you to do all the pieces. Final night time, Du Jiajia talked to me and mentioned she’s prepared to care for the cooking,” Wang Wei mentioned.

“Du Jiajia?” Chen Mu was a bit puzzled.

Aside from Wei Dalei, he wasn’t very acquainted with his classmates. Du Jiajia was often quiet, and her faculty provides had been coated with numerous images of celebrities, like a fangirl immersed on this planet of idol chasing.

And she or he was a foodie.

Chen Mu had witnessed her breaking the varsity guidelines greater than as soon as, secretly bringing snacks into the classroom.

Nevertheless, Du Jiajia was additionally fairly beneficiant.

At any time when somebody encountered her, she would share a few of her snacks with them.

As soon as, when Chen Mu handed by her desk and caught her consuming potato chips, she smiled mischievously and provided him a bit, making a gesture for him to maintain it quiet.

At that second, Chen Mu thought she was… a bit foolishly cute.

After all, as issues stood now, Du Jiajia’s “dangerous behavior” of being a foodie had truly saved all of them.

With out that piece of cake, they could have run out of energy a lot earlier.

Involved about Du Jiajia taking cost of the cooking, Chen Mu requested, “Can she prepare dinner?”

On one hand, he did not belief her culinary abilities, and then again, he frightened about how a lot meals could be left if Du Jiajia dealt with the cooking.

“She says she’ll be taught slowly,” Dong Junwei sighed. “Deep down, all of us wish to contribute not directly, particularly somebody like Du Jiajia who hasn’t woke up any talents and feels ineffective.”

Chen Mu understood Du Jiajia’s emotions.

As a staff, nobody would really like a freeloader.

Earlier than the apocalypse, who wasn’t the darling of their household? Why ought to I be chargeable for caring for you throughout such harmful occasions?

Initially, everybody was simply classmates, and even when they did not have notably shut relationships, inertia would nonetheless make most individuals prepared to lend a serving to hand.

Few individuals would let their savage instincts take over proper after the apocalypse. In any case, nobody knew if they might return to regular within the subsequent second. Even when the legislation did not maintain them accountable, they might be socially lifeless.

However as time went on, issues turned much less sure.

Dong Junwei and Tang Jing could not assist however panic and really feel a bit misplaced. They may settle for the truth that centipedes had been consuming people, however seeing fellow people, with none cause, killing one another, even on this post-apocalyptic world, was troublesome to understand.

Chen Mu was already poised and prepared.

Even earlier than the three people on the opposite facet bought nearer, he pushed Dong Junwei and shouted, “Go inside and name for assist!”

On the similar time, he himself bent over and slipped again contained in the doorway.

Nevertheless, he was effectively conscious that even when he might outrun the three individuals, Tang Jing and Dong Junwei had no hope of doing so.

So, after the 2 girls got here inside, he held his weapon and waited behind the door.

At this second.

Tang Jing ran and shouted, “Dalei, assist!”

Within the distance.

Wei Dalei reflexively jumped up, grabbing his big wolf-tooth membership and dashing over as if flying.

Nevertheless, he nonetheless had far to cowl.

As quickly as he bought up, the three individuals outdoors the door had already bent down and crawled in from beneath the door slit.

Chen Mu was ready lengthy earlier than.

With out saying a phrase, he thrust his spear in the direction of the closest particular person.

His goal was clear – to disable one particular person first, to intimidate the others. If he might purchase a while for Tang Jing and Dong Junwei to run far-off, and watch for Wei Dalei to reach, he would not be too frightened.

He was well-versed in preventing methods.

Both do not interact, or interact to disable the opponent.

…

Three males in opposition to one man and two girls.

The three individuals outdoors the door had been assured and by no means anticipated Chen Mu and the others to counterattack so decisively after fleeing. They chased inside with out a second thought.

“Splurt.”

Chen Mu thrust with all his may, immediately stabbing one in every of them within the neck.

The person had been bending over, obstructing his imaginative and prescient. Simply as he raised his head after coming in, he was struck within the throat by the spear.

Chen Mu did not immediately pull out the spear.

As an alternative, he used his capability to make the lengthy spear thinner and simply withdrew the weapon.

Blood gushed out!
