Above the station, it was quite simple, with just a sign and a small shop.
Gu Pingsheng braced himself to lead the girls inside.
However, at that moment, he was stopped by Li Ruoyao.
"Pingsheng, let me go first. My constitution is as high as 90 points, I'm the strongest."
Li Ruoyao said.
So, Li Ruoyao's initial constitution was 9 points?
Gu Pingsheng thought to himself.
Just then, a slender female classmate approached Gu Pingsheng, "Let, let me go first!"
Her name was Liu Xiaofang.
Liu Xiaofang quickly explained, "Study Commissioner, Class Monitor, you both have S-Rank Talents. If you get bitten by zombies, it would be terrible...
If you die, it would be a huge loss for our entire class. You are the hope for our class's survival in this apocalypse.
Although Xiaoxue has a Healing Talent, it doesn't necessarily mean she can cure the Zombie Virus, right?"
"Xiaofang..."
Li Ruoyao looked at the petite Liu Xiaofang, who was just over 1.6 meters tall, with a bit of reluctance in her eyes.
Liu Xiaofang was considered a class beauty, with delicate features and single eyelids, ranking in the top ten for looks, but she was usually quiet and reserved, not speaking much.
Liu Xiaofang's intention was clear, she wanted to be the scout.
Since there were zombies inside and they had no weapons, fighting could easily lead to being scratched or bitten by zombies.
Standing at the forefront, Liu Xiaofang had an increased chance of being scratched or bitten.
"Don't refuse, if I die, Class Monitor, Study Commissioner, I hope you can take care of my twin sister. For now, this is definitely the best way!"
Liu Xiaofang said sincerely.
She and another girl in the class, Liu Xiaoying, were twins, with Xiaofang being the older sister and Xiaoying the younger.
Xiaoying was not in the group at the moment.
She wanted to come too, but Xiaofang held her back.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, Liu Xiaofang."
Gu Pingsheng looked at Liu Xiaofang solemnly, feeling uneasy.
If today's sign-in reward had been a weapon, it would have been great.
Liu Xiaofang nodded and slowly approached the group, knocking on the small shop's door forcefully.
Gu Pingsheng also tentatively stomped his foot.
There were zombies inside, and if they could lure them out with sound or other disturbances, it would be best.
Otherwise, with the zombies hiding in the dark, it would be troublesome.
However, the zombies seemed smarter than expected. No one went in, so they stayed hidden, and it was eerily quiet inside, as if nothing was there...
Staying in a stalemate like this was useless, and no amount of noise could lure the zombies out.
Helplessly, Liu Xiaofang cautiously walked inside.
Li Ruoyao and Gu Pingsheng followed, with Zhang Keke, Luo Xiaoxue, and other girls behind them.
The small shop was an ordinary one, with iron shelves holding a variety of snacks, mostly food.
Bread, instant noodles, spicy strips, chips, and more.
The shopkeeper's counter was empty, and a yellow light bulb hung from the ceiling, casting a dim glow.
But,
As soon as Liu Xiaofang stepped inside.
Two inhuman roars suddenly erupted from beside the shelves!
"Roar! Roar!!"
Two twisted figures crashed through the shelves, bringing a stench of rotting flesh as they charged out.
Zombies!
Gu Pingsheng saw it clearly,
The zombies' features were terrifying, with cloudy white eyes, mouths agape with thick saliva dripping, and skin festering, utterly disgusting.
The two zombies lunged straight at the unprepared figure at the front, Liu Xiaofang.
Liu Xiaofang didn't even have time to turn around before she was knocked to the ground.
"Ah!!!"
Liu Xiaofang's scream echoed.
Immediately, Gu Pingsheng and the others froze, their faces drained of color, their minds blank with shock.
Quickly, Gu Pingsheng snapped out of it,
"Go, everyone! Kill these two zombies!"
Beside him, Li Ruoyao also reacted, kicking a zombie's head, and in the next moment, the rotten head exploded.
Gu Pingsheng didn't have time to be shocked by Li Ruoyao's strength, he quickly kicked the neck of the other zombie, as the head and neck seemed to be their weak points.
Zhang Keke immediately used her talent, Gigantification, transforming from a 1.6-meter girl into a small giant. She quickly kicked away the zombie still gnawing on Liu Xiaofang, then pushed over a shelf, which collapsed and pinned the zombie's lower body.
After gigantifying, Zhang Keke's constitution reached about 30 points, so her kick wasn't as powerful as Li Ruoyao's and didn't kill the zombie outright.
The zombie, pinned by the shelf, convulsed continuously.
Gu Pingsheng and the other girls rushed forward, repeatedly stomping on the zombie's head and other parts.
Before long, the zombie was stomped to death.
Everyone was panting heavily, and soon, Gu Pingsheng helped Liu Xiaofang up. At this point, Liu Xiaofang was more out of breath than in.
Her head was cradled on Gu Pingsheng's legs.
"Let me do it!"
Luo Xiaoxue knelt beside her, placing her hands on Liu Xiaofang's body, a green light enveloping her.
"Class Monitor... am I going to die?"
Liu Xiaofang's face was pale, her voice weak.
"Don't joke, Xiaoxue's talent is A-rank, you'll be fine."
Gu Pingsheng quickly reassured her.
The other girls looked at Liu Xiaofang in silence.
Even Li Ruoyao felt heartache, knowing that even with her strong constitution, she might not have reacted in time. Those two zombies were too disgusting, lurking in the shadows.
And since they couldn't attract their attention at the door, someone had to go inside to draw them out.
Even Li Ruoyao might not have reacted in time.
"Class Monitor, I... I've always wanted to say, actually, I like you..."
At that moment, Liu Xiaofang suddenly confessed to Gu Pingsheng.
Gu Pingsheng was stunned, as were the girls beside him.
Wait, is this really the time for a confession?
"Well, thank you for liking me, Xiaofang..."
Gu Pingsheng hadn't expected that this quiet beauty in the class actually liked him.
No wonder during class, besides Li Ruoyao, he often noticed Liu Xiaofang nearby, or at the desk in front or behind...
Li Ruoyao bit her lip lightly, lost in thought.
Luo Xiaoxue's mouth twitched.
She had already figured it out, the Zombie Virus had been cleared, leaving only some superficial wounds and a bite on the neck.
Liu Xiaofang wasn't going to die.
Soon, Liu Xiaofang, thinking she had confessed successfully and left no regrets, closed her eyes slightly, content to lie on Gu Pingsheng's lap.
Dying in the arms of the boy she liked wasn't so bad, at least... she protected him...
But soon, Liu Xiaofang realized she wasn't dead.
Her wounds no longer hurt, and her head, dizzy from the Zombie Virus, was clear.
Liu Xiaofang:......
She was extremely embarrassed.
Was Luo Xiaoxue's Healing Art really that powerful?
Damn...
If she had known, she wouldn't have confessed.
"Is she healed? Why isn't Xiaofang waking up?"
Luo Xiaoxue scratched her head.
Liu Xiaofang could only awkwardly open her eyes.
"I'll help you up, Xiaofang."
As if nothing had happened, Gu Pingsheng helped Liu Xiaofang up.
Liu Xiaofang's blushing face was like a ripe peach.
"Everyone, quickly gather supplies. There are plenty of resources in this small shop, grab as much water and high-energy food as possible, like bread, cakes, and Snickers."
Gu Pingsheng quickly shouted.
