Chapter 18: Block the Door
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Aaron became more and more anxious when he heard the situation outside. He did not dare to tell the truth to the others, afraid that they would lose hope.
He kept encouraging the others every day, hoping that they could last one more day. This was the only thing that Aaron could do as the student council president.
But soon, a very harsh thing was placed in front of Aaron. They did not have enough food!
Even if Aaron had collected a lot of food in the beginning, it was still not enough. There were originally more than a hundred people in the school building. No matter how much food there was, it would still be eaten up.
And the food on the surface had already been gone three days ago. Some people might still have hidden the food, but they would definitely not share it with others.
In the apocalypse, there was more food, so there was more possibility of survival.
In the face of life-threatening danger, everyone was selfish. It was understandable that everyone wanted to survive.
However, some people had already fainted from hunger. They knew that they would die if they stayed here any longer. Even if they didn’t die at the hands of zombies, they would starve to death sooner or later.
The starving students repeatedly asked Aaron to leave the school building and go out to look for food.
But only Aaron knew that it might be more dangerous outside. He was determined not to let any students leave, but he had no way to get food.
He had previously let some students leave the building and go to the cafeteria to look for food, but there were too many zombies outside. They went to the cafeteria and never came back.
The only way they could get food was also gone.
The rest of the students felt hopeless. They began to doubt Aaron and no longer trusted him. They secretly spread rumors, thinking that the army had taken control of the situation outside and that Aaron was still imprisoning them.
The number of students supporting Aaron was also decreasing. Finally, last night, the conflict broke out.
The students who didn’t trust Aaron struggled together, and they rushed out together.
They wanted to escape the campus under the cover of the night, but they didn’t expect the zombies at night to be crouching over them. Although they didn’t encounter any zombies at first, when they arrived at an empty place, the zombies swarmed over, they killed all the students.
It was also because these students wanted to leave that they destroyed a part of the defense, creating a loophole in the original teaching building.
The pillar of the gate was destroyed. Those people wanted to prove that they were right. Not only did they escape, but they also wanted to destroy the defense of others.
However, they didn’t expect that zombies already had some intelligence. As soon as they went out, they were ambushed and lost the chance to survive.
The remaining students in the teaching building were also in danger because of their recklessness.
The zombies quickly attacked as well. They attacked like an army, as if they knew the gap in the castle and launched a fierce attack.
Just when the building was about to fall, a mysterious person blocked the entrance and blocked all the zombies that were attacking, which shocked all the students.
There was actually someone who could fight against zombies!
This was not one or two zombies, nor one or two hundred zombies, but one or two thousand zombies!
They did not know what fear was, so they rushed toward the door without caring about anything else. Hades was like a god of war, holding an exaggerated long knife in his hand. No matter how many zombies came, they would be blocked in front of the door.
However, Aaron had a quarrel with another person, the vice president of the Student Union, Derena.
“President, you should let him in! If he stays outside alone, he will be swallowed by the zombies sooner or later. There are too many zombies outside!”
“I know, but if we open the door now, the zombies will follow him in. Then, our entire teaching building will be finished!”
“He can block so many zombies, so he can enter in time. You can’t just watch him stay outside the door, right? Isn’t our Student Union supposed to ensure the safety of our students? Right now, there are still students outside. We should open the door, let him in, and stand guard with me.”
“No, absolutely not.”
“Why not?”
“There are too many zombies outside. He can still block them. If he opens the door and the zombies swarm him, he can’t block them. We can only support him upstairs. We absolutely can’t open the door!”
“This is against humanity, president!”
“This is not the time to be humane in this world.”
“I cannot accept this kind of behavior. I have to open the door for him!”
“If you open the door for him, then I can only send you out too!”
Aaron threatened Shalor.
He had to guard this place. There were 57 people in the teaching building. He absolutely could not give up the lives of 57 people for one person.
Hades, who was outside the door, didn’t know about the argument in the room. Hades was still waving his knife, killing the zombies that were approaching.
After those zombies were killed, they dropped countless attribute points. However, he didn’t have time to pick them up because there were too many zombies.
They couldn’t be counted, and he couldn’t kill them all.
Hades waved his knife tirelessly. Whenever a zombie came forward, he would kill one zombie. He couldn’t let any zombie walk through the door.
The more he killed, the more zombie corpses piled up like a small hill. The blood on his body also became more and more. It was the blood of zombies, and there were countless zombie corpses around him.
The students who were watching from upstairs widened their eyes. They couldn’t believe that one person could kill so many zombies. No matter how many zombies rushed at him, they would all be killed by Hades.
How powerful was this man? Everyone wanted to see his limit.
However, these students also knew that Hades was only one person. Sooner or later, he would lose his defense. Meanwhile, the students were also at the window, trying their best to cover for Hades. They shot crossbows, threw sharp javelins, and threw heavy objects like tables and chairs, all of these were to slow down the zombies’ attack.
Hades was also very grateful. At this moment, he suddenly heard a sound:
“Ding! You have received a Red Packet: Encyclopedia Search!”
