Class Teacher System-Chapter 108: Save the Savior (14)

After Crew Cut had run ten laps, he looked again at Ren Zhu like he was looking at a monster. He had never known himself to be this obedient. As a child, he was the king little devil; he led a group of little brothers to provoke cats, tease dogs, and steal chicken eggs. He was not an easy child. Not even the fiercest teacher from his childhood could bring him in line.

But, unexpectedly, today, in front of so many people, he had so conscientiously heeded the words of another person?! This simply wasn’t scientific, rather it was frightening.

“Are you an enemy agent sent by the zombies?!” Crew Cut’s whole person felt unwell.

Ren Zhu revealed a smile, “Ah, if you think so, then it is so. Can you speak properly now?”

Crew Cut really wanted to curse at him. But, remembering the consequences of speaking like that, Crew Cut silently swallowed the words in his mouth and instead showed his thoughts through a taciturn expression.

“Ahem, ahem, okay, everyone look at me,” Captain Lei Long brought everyone’s attention to him. “This base was clearly destroyed through maximum damage. Let’s search for survivors or for something that can provide clues. For the zombies to destroy this base so violently, there must be something here that made them so frenzied. It would be better if we could find that something.”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded. However, at this time, Old Qi covered his arm and said, “No matter what, this time I will not be in a group with those three people. Captain Lei, it would be better if you didn’t follow them either. This base is in much worse shape, the gains won’t make up for the losses if you are injured.”

“You, what do you mean by that?! You said before, you were injured because you weren’t careful! If it wasn’t for Wei-ge, you would’ve even lost your life! How can you make such false accusations against us now?!” Lingling, the young girl with short hair among those two women and one man, spoke incredulously. “If Lu Yan’s lying, she’ll be bitten by a zombie!”

Old Qi laughed grimly, “It’s just these snake and scorpion faces that confuse people. I was wondering why you three gathered together—it turns out you three are all experts in acting and deceiving people. Naturally, it’s better for you to live by stepping on the bones of the dead.”

“You!” Lingling wanted to say more, but Lu Yan, the glamorous woman beside her, stopped her.

“Alright Lingling, he’s injured, don’t bicker with him. The mission is what’s important.”

Lingling snorted and looked toward Lei Long, “Captain Lei! You choose someone and we’ll go together. Let the ordinary people rest here, the ability users who can fight can come with us.”

When Lingling said this, Lei Long’s face showed some hesitancy, and for a little while, he didn’t know what to say. Old Qi had been his teammate for over a month, and his close friend for five years before that. Although Old Qi was sometimes gruff, he never told lies. This time, Lei Long instinctively wanted to believe in him. However, Lingling, Lu Yan, and Wei Bo’s words and expressions also seemed to be truthful. They all seemed to not be fake; this really gave Lei Long a headache.

Fortunately, at this time Ren Zhu spoke. “Captain Lei, you take Little Mao and Little Gou. Yi Xiao and I will be a group with those three. This way, all five of us will be ability users, so there’s no need to add any other people.”

Lei Long’s eyes shone and, without waiting for Lingling or the others to speak, he nodded, “Good, Ren-xiongdi, since you’ve said so, that would be ideal. After all, you two have the highest strength within our ranks, and Lingling and the others are all ability users. You five could sweep the whole base without finding a worthy match.”

Originally, Lingling wanted to say something in response, but after hearing that Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao amazingly had the highest strength, she shut her mouth. Instead, it was Lu Yan that showed a smiling expression. “In that case, thank you Captain Lei. We have gained a great advantage.”

Lei Long nodded. Then, everyone once again split into four small groups to explore four different areas. However, this time, about ten people stayed in the central square. The seven or eight ability users found at the previous base also split up into four parts and followed one of the four small groups.

Originally, Daoist priest Zhao was still standing near Lingling, but Old Jin shamelessly pulled him away. Ren Zhu raised his eyebrows and looked at Fatty Jin, who winked at him. Ren Zhu thought to himself that even before the apocalypse, this fatty must have been an impressive figure. He really hadn’t met such a cunning and resourceful fatty before.

“Hey, Ren-gege, are you two really so incredible? Captain Lei actually gave us the area with the research institute, the most dangerous place here. I’m just an average ability user. If we come across an especially terrible zombie, you’ll have to help me, Ren-gege,” Lingling quickly walked to Ren Zhu’s side, batting her eyes and speaking in a cutesy manner.

Unfortunately for her, Ren Zhu only gave this two-faced girl a smile without any heart in it and didn’t say anything or make any promises.

A gloomy look flashed through Lingling’s eyes. She reached out to grab Ren Zhu’s wrist, but just as she was about to grab hold, she suddenly felt a strong force on her shoulder. In the next second, she was directly pushed onto the ground!

It wasn’t until she fell down and felt the searing pain on her bottom that Lingling lifted her head in shock and saw Yi Xiao’s deathly pale jiangshi face looking at her sinisterly.

The indignation in Lingling’s heart was extinguished in a split second, and she showed a pitiable expression. “Lu-jiejie! Wei-gege!”

Lu Yan and Wei Bo had not expected Lingling to be repudiated before she could act. The two of them looked at Yi Xiao, on guard, but Yi Xiao just looked at them as if they were objects and did not say a word.

This effect was more terrible than Teacher Ren’s.

Afterward, along the way, Lingling and the others were all quiet as chickens. Outside of killing zombies, there was, by and large, no interaction.

Because Ren Zhu’s Class Teacher’s Lecture, Class Teacher’s Blessing, Class Teacher’s Punishment, and Disguise skills were used very frequently these days, they had already leveled up. So, one shouldn’t be fooled by the fact that he was just a psychic ability user; the effect of controlling a piece of the field was also very amazing.

Lingling and the others felt unusually relaxed. Sure enough, becoming a temporary team with those two was very good, very relaxing.

The three looked at each other and saw the satisfied and determined-to-win looks in each other’s eyes. If these two golden thighs could be grabbed, then they should be able to live very well in the future.

Before long, the five people had already entered into the depths of the research institute. Inside were things that could, to some extent, still be used. Ren Zhu carried a large backpack and when he came across useful things, he would put them inside the backpack. However, when they reached the first basement level, Yi Xiao suddenly grabbed him. Ren Zhu turned to look at him and Yi Xiao frowned and said, “There are many zombies below us.”

Lingling, Lu Yan, and Wei Bo also heard this and stopped immediately, just as they were about to step down the stairs.

“What is attracting the zombies underneath the research institute?” asked Lingling, faking naivety and cuteness. However, as before, no one answered her.

“Go take a look,” Ren Zhu looked at Yi Xiao. “Maybe this is what caused the base’s destruction.”

Jiangshi King Yi was very unhappy to see his class teacher so urgently courting death. Even if he could beat all of the zombies below into a paste within minutes, stepping into the room with all the beaten into a paste zombies would be very disgusting. Just as Yi Xiao wanted to force him to leave, Ren Zhu used the Class Teacher’s Disguise and secretly went down.

Since Ren Zhu went down, Yi Xiao naturally could not stay up above. He could only furrow his brows in a particularly poor mood and follow him down the stairs. Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao had both gone; Lingling, Lu Yan, and Wei Bo all looked at each other.

Finally, Wei Bo gritted his teeth. “Riches and honor are found in dangerous places! Let’s go!” 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹．𝐧𝐞𝘁

The three people also hastily descended the stairs. However, there were more zombies downstairs than they had even imagined–a zombie appeared at almost every other step. Although at that moment the zombies were like wandering ghosts, those three didn’t dare to be like Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao, who had entered this place without any nerves or hesitation at all. Additionally, they miraculously were not noticed by the zombies.

At that time, Ren Zhu had already pulled Yi Xiao over to the deepest part of this underground floor. As they passed through, the zombies were more and more closely packed together, and they couldn’t squeeze any further through. Just as Ren Zhu was thinking whether or not he should command these zombies to step aside and make a path, the feeling emanating from Yi Xiao’s body changed. All of a sudden, it became extremely evil and highly oppressive. The zombies acted like they had sensed their king arriving and swiftly stepped aside to make a path. Ren Zhu then saw an especially thin and weak middle-aged woman sitting against the wall.

She was still alive, but only just.

When, through her labored breathing, she saw Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao, this middle-aged woman in a doctor’s coat smiled. She said, “God…has not abandoned us.”

She then stretched her hand out toward Ren Zhu. In her palm was a black stone and a small U-shaped dish of the same color.

Ren Zhu felt he had received the greatest shock in this moment. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and held the middle-aged woman’s hand, “I will deliver this to the necessary people.”

The sentence was like flipping the switch for the final curtain drop. After he spoke, the middle-aged woman closed her eyes with a smile on her face.

Ren Zhu took a deep breath, “Let’s go.”

Yi Xiao pressed his lips together and led Ren Zhu back. Ren Zhu could sense clearly that once he had accepted that black stone and U-shaped dish, the target the zombies were staring at switched from the middle-aged woman to him. It seemed that what was in his hand was something they wanted very much. As Ren Zhu thought of this possibility, he couldn’t help but tighten his grip.

They quickly walked to the head of the flight of stairs up from the basement level and saw the three people standing in front of them. Lingling caught sight of Ren Zhu’s tightly clenched hand and inquired as to what thing they had gained.

Ren Zhu looked at this woman and then thought about the woman who had, for the sake of this stone and U-shaped dish, exhausted all of her power to hang on to her last breath waiting for them. He felt he didn’t want to look at these three people anymore. He did so, and walked past Lingling and the others without looking at them.

It was just that this reaction enraged those three people with a dark mentality. Lingling gnashed her teeth and suddenly yelled out, “Ren-dage, what exactly do you have in your hand? Is it so precious you can’t give Lingling a peek?”

.

At that moment, all of the zombies in the underground level looked like evil wolves smelling meat, and charged forward, howling.

Ren Zhu looked up and saw Lingling’s malicious and proud-of-herself smile as she mouthed the words, ‘Who let you ignore me?’
