#695 - Chapter 695 Hiding
“I'm starving to death!! When is today's grub coming?”
The man who had complained about sleep deprivation earlier muttered again, rubbing his grumbling stomach.
After spending so much effort fighting zombies last night, logically, they should be given some "rations" this morning to fill their bellies and restore some strength.
Otherwise, how would they have the energy to manage the survivors here and resist the zombies outside?
Everything comes at a price, right?
Despite his grumbling, he still had to do the work he was assigned.
Otherwise, the big shots at the top would be displeased, and that would be terrible.
Those disobedient fellows had already been taken as meat pigs!
Inside this shelter, formed by the teaching buildings of the university town, there was a classroom on the seventh floor of one of the buildings, with some people lying sprawled all over the place.
Don't get me wrong.
They were still sleeping and resting.
Last night was another crazy party, and they hadn't fully woken up from their late-night exhaustion.
Among these sprawled bodies were men and women, and the whole room was filled with a strange smell that made people feel uncomfortable when they walked in.
“Whoosh—”
A cloud of smoke rose as a man sitting on the podium exhaled the cigarette he had inhaled into his lungs.
This was a man with a relatively young face, but with heavy dark circles under his eyes.
He looked to be in his thirties, wearing only a shirt stained with various stains.
His name was Xie Yuankai, and he was the leader of this Nanyang University shelter.
He used to run a gym inside Nanyang University.
You heard that right, he indeed ran such a business here.
In a diversified China, entering this stage of development, even universities could open various businesses that were only available outside.
Of course, this was also thanks to his uncle, who was the vice president of the university.
Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether he could have done it.
The cigarette in Xie Yuankai's hand was about to burn out, and he reluctantly threw it on the ground only when it burned to the filter.
“Damn it! This is the last pack! I have to get people to find more cigarettes quickly! Otherwise, I'll be forced to quit smoking after I finish this pack!!”
He spat a mouthful of saliva casually on the floor.
As if hearing his voice, the others in the classroom also began to wake up one after another.
They sleepily climbed up and saw the leader next to them, and then various greetings rose and fell in the room.
“Get up and prepare to work! Today, we must find more meat pigs and supplies! Keep a close eye on where there are more cigarettes and hammers! If there aren't any here, then go out and look further!”
Xie Yuankai stared at the group of people who depended on him for survival with a pair of red-streaked eyes, skillfully issuing them tasks.
Some of these people were former coaches who had worked with him in the gym, and some were students from the school who had joined later.
As for the women?
They were, of course, survivors captured from the school.
After various adjustments, they needed to be completely obedient to survive.
Otherwise.
They would become everyone's food!
In this school where food was basically exhausted and not much could be found, there might still be some dormitories hiding food and supplies that students had left there before.
But to search these dormitories, they had to face attacks from a large number of zombies inside.
You should know that the mutation occurred at night, which was when many students were staying in dormitories or teaching buildings, and these two places were the most densely populated areas of zombies after the disaster broke out.
After a year of exploration, these survivors, led by Xie Yuankai, had only explored most of the dormitories with closed doors, and the remaining ones might still contain useful supplies.
As everyone knows, student dormitories hide all kinds of good things, packaged snacks, cigarettes, medicines, and other daily necessities are almost always stocked by most students.
This was a treasure trove for these survivors.
Taking out those treasures also required no small amount of courage and skill, after all, the zombies hiding inside were not vegetarians.
The fact that these survivors could survive here for a year could be considered an alternative form of abundant resources.
However, no matter how abundant, there would eventually be a day when they were exhausted.
During the drought, they were confined to this enclosed teaching building shelter, consuming most of their food, and just as they were about to enter a state of starvation, they turned their knives to their own kind.
From then on, they opened the door to a new world.
And quickly mastered the crude method of making big meat.
Those survivors who were disobedient or who didn't get along with Xie Yuankai were controlled and used as emergency rations.
As for the survivors who ate big meat together, there were as many as thirty or forty people!
Most people were very aware of the situation, even if they didn't quite agree with it in their hearts, it didn't stop them from joining Xie Yuankai in colluding for the sake of survival.
Everyone was just trying to survive.
In the end, the interior of this shelter was reshuffled.
Those disobedient survivors were killed and eaten, and the rest were all controlled and guarded. More than 70% of the people obeyed Xie Yuankai and his gang, who had the highest combat power, in order to continue to survive.
In the days that followed, everyone gradually got used to this kind of life. When they were hungry, they would slaughter a meat pig to fill their hunger, and when they were in a bad mood, they would pull one of the women out to start an end-of-the-world carnival party.
Everyone slowly adapted to this kind of life.
The collection of normal supplies was, of course, still part of their daily work. This leader Xie would arrange for his subordinates to go outside to find all kinds of items to enrich and embellish their lives.
Today was like any other day, and after waking up, they began to prepare for their daily routine.
Just then, a boy ran into the classroom with a panicked expression and shouted:
“Boss Xie!! Something's happened!! A huge plane has come from the sky!!”
This boy was in charge of defense here, and he would never dare to break into the place where these big shots lived like this, but what he had just seen was so shocking that he didn't have time to care about these things!
A huge thing, like an airship, appeared in the sky!!
There must be some powerful survivors on it!
Xie Yuankai and the others didn't have time to care about the disrespect of the person who broke in, and ran to the window next to them to see that it was indeed the case!
His face changed several times in a row, and then he ordered his subordinates over there:
“Hide those meat pigs!! If those people come to us later, just say we don't know anything!”
“Everyone remember!! We are just a group of ordinary survivors!!”
He shouted sternly at everyone present.
He didn't know where those people in the sky came from, nor did he know whether the other party would come down and contact them, but Xie Yuankai decided to hide some of the things here that were not very presentable.
If.
These people in the sky were willing to accept him, it seemed that he could follow them!
In a doomsday world, a force with such vehicles and strength, joining them shouldn't be too bad!?
