#550 - Chapter 550 Survival Lesson (Challenge) 4
"I'll go!"
Everyone in the isolation zone looked at Zhang Shusheng, wanting to see clearly who this person was who dared to be the first to stand up and challenge someone arranged by Teacher Qin!
"What a bold person!"
"Yeah, he actually dares to challenge! Isn't he afraid of death?!"
Many children were discussing it.
They didn't dare to stand up and complete Teacher Qin's task, and they were all filled with curiosity and unwillingness towards this child who seemed to be bolder than themselves.
How could this person be so bold?
Could it be because they are new here and don't know Teacher Qin's "terror"?
Even Xia Zimiao looked at the boy in surprise.
She knew this person; the leader had taken him over from the Zhushi Oil Base some time ago, and he had recently joined their class to study together.
He was a latecomer.
Zhang Shusheng ignored the gazes of the children. After speaking, he slowly walked towards Qin Jin.
He stopped about two meters in front of him and stared into his eyes, saying:
"I'll go first. You promised that completing the challenge would earn an extra bowl of rice tonight!"
Qin Jin smiled.
Interesting.
He didn't speak, but stepped aside and gestured, clearing the circle in front of the zombie.
Zhang Shusheng didn't hesitate. He walked a few steps to the center of the circle.
At this moment.
The zombie was really only half a meter away from him! (The distance of an outstretched arm)
He could even smell the strong stench coming from the zombie!
"Ooooh!"
Seemingly sensing Zhang Shusheng's fresher scent, the restrained zombie became even more frantic!
With its hands tied behind its back, it desperately shook its body, trying to get closer to Zhang Shusheng!
The distance was shortened again!
It was probably only 50 centimeters away!
"Huff--! Huff--!!"
Zhang Shusheng's face turned pale, and his body swayed slightly, but he quickly calmed down and continued to stand firmly inside the circle!
"Amazing!! This person is something!"
The children behind him were whispering, starting to look at the first person to challenge Teacher Qin with different eyes!
He was not afraid even standing so close to the zombie!
If it were them, they would probably be scared away, right?!
It's less than half a meter away!
Xia Zimiao also watched this scene with a nervous expression. This was completely beyond the imagination of these children!
They had never imagined that one day they would face a zombie at such close range!
And a living zombie!
"Can he hold on?!"
Everyone focused all their attention on Zhang Shusheng.
It was as if they had become Zhang Shusheng standing there, and they began to count down for him unconsciously.
"20 seconds! He should be able to hold on!"
"I also think there's no problem! He's so calm! He's not afraid at all standing so close to the zombie. I don't know how he developed such courage. If it were me, my legs would probably go weak."
The children were still unconvinced just now, but in a short time, they were amazed by the person who dared to challenge first.
This boy is indeed something!
Behind the group of children, Zhang Jingyi also clenched her hands, looking at her brother with a slightly worried expression.
And behind her were those children from Zhushi, some of whom had followed Zhang Shusheng in the past to survive in the wild and look for supplies.
Many people didn't know how difficult it was for Zhang Shusheng's group of children, who were abandoned by the Zhushi shelter, to survive.
At that time, the Zhushi shelter didn't provide much food for them. Everyone needed to complete corresponding tasks on their own.
Or they had to go out to find supplies and food to fill their stomachs.
Like many forces, the Zhushi shelter didn't support idlers.
Therefore, Zhang Shusheng and a few children without support learned to survive in the apocalypse very early on.
They had been chased by zombies during the day, and they had also encountered survivors with ill intentions, but they had turned danger into safety with their ruthlessness and wit.
Especially Zhang Shusheng, who at the age of 13, single-handedly killed a zombie with skill and courage!
This is a feat that many adult men may not be able to accomplish!
At this time, he stood in front of this restrained zombie. Although he was a little nervous, he didn't have much fear.
Because he knew that this was a restrained zombie, and that Teacher Qin shouldn't really let them children fight zombies in close combat, right...
Time continued to pass.
"45 seconds! This big shot is about to complete the challenge! He's a bit awesome!"
Some children began to count down for Zhang Shusheng.
As the focus of everyone's attention, Zhang Shusheng also began to relax slowly.
This is not difficult.
He has no problem just standing here!
Qin Jin watched all this with interest.
Looking at the students who were cheering for this child, a sense of admiration and conquest was slowly emanating.
If there are no accidents, this child does have the aura of becoming a king among children.
He deserves to be someone Zhang Tiankai specifically asked him to take care of.
But.
The corners of Qin Jin's mouth turned up, revealing a dangerous smile.
It's not that easy!
Just as the children were counting down to 55 seconds, an unexpected change occurred!
The iron chain behind the zombie suddenly loosened, causing the zombie, which everyone thought was perfectly restrained, to move forward again!
40cm...
30cm...
20cm...
10cm...
The original distance of about half a meter was quickly closed, almost instantly reaching about ten centimeters!
It was outputting right in his face!!
Zhang Shusheng was also taken aback, and his whole body couldn't help but lean back, wanting to get away from the zombie's surprise attack.
However, he quickly realized that he couldn't leave the circle!
That Leader Qin had said that once he left the circle, the challenge would be a failure!
No!
For his own face, for Jingyi, and for that dinner, he had to persevere!
His body paused, and the original backward trend stopped, forcibly stopping the action of leaving the circle!
!!
The children also didn't expect such a scene at the last moment!
Almost everyone stopped breathing and didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear that their breathing would blow on the zombie and it would continue to move forward.
58.
59.
60.
"Time's up."
Qin Jin said the ending words with a smile.
Looking at Zhang Shusheng, who was sweating profusely in the circle, he nodded at him in approval:
"You're not bad!"
"Tonight, I'll reward you with 2 boxes of rice and a dish! Enjoy a full meal!"
As he spoke, he pulled the iron chain behind the zombie, letting it return to its original distance.
Zhang Shusheng looked at the man's actions with lingering fear.
His back burst out with cold sweat or hot sweat in an instant. In short, it was completely soaked.
That was close!
He almost failed the challenge by going out of bounds.
Fortunately, he persisted until the end.
This Leader Qin...
As expected, he always plays by his own rules, just like what those children said!
