Chapter 34: Misunderstood

The sunroof of the pickup truck slowly opened, and a man wearing a police helmet emerged from inside. The man took out a pair of binoculars and surveyed the surroundings of the school, then spoke a few words to someone inside the vehicle before sitting back down.

The modified pickup and off-road vehicle turned around and arrogantly drove off again. Alex controlled the three-eyed crow to follow the two modified vehicles for a while. Just as the crow's detection range reached its limit, the vehicles stopped in front of a convenience store. Five men armed with machetes and one with a rifle got out of the cars and efficiently killed a few zombies that lunged at them, like slicing through vegetables.

The man with the rifle was on guard while the other five were responsible for moving supplies from the convenience store. Their coordination was extremely skilled, and they quickly loaded the items they wanted, then got back into the modified vehicles and drove away.

Watching the dust trail left by the departing vehicles, Alex slightly furrowed his brow. These people seemed well-organized, and they appeared to be very interested in the school. However, for some reason, they ultimately did not enter.

But what concerned Alex the most was not this; it was that these people had a rifle! Although the man with the rifle never fired, the deterrent power of the firearm was immense. Even the current Alex was very wary of facing an opponent with a rifle. His knife, no matter how fast, could not outpace a bullet.

If he encountered this group, Alex was not confident he could defeat them. The presence of such an unstable factor made Alex uncomfortable. "I must find a way to eliminate these people and get that rifle!" A cold glint flashed in Alex's eyes.

Alex continued to control the three-eyed crow, searching around the vicinity of the school. Soon, he spotted several Level C burly zombies furiously ramming into an iron fence gate, seemingly attracted by something.

Getting closer with the three-eyed crow, Alex noticed a shopping mall not far from where the burly zombies were slamming into the gate. On the wall outside the mall, a few people were climbing up a rope. The mall building was not very tall, only about seven or eight meters high, and had been obscured by a nearby taller building, so Alex hadn't seen it earlier.

These people were carrying large bags of food and water on their backs, obviously transported out of the mall. Following the rope upward, Alex was surprised to find a settlement on the rooftop! The mall building was not very high but was quite broad. Atop the mall, there were many colorful tents.

Many men and women were walking back and forth on the rooftop. Alex roughly counted and saw there were about thirty people. It was a gathering place for survivors! And because it was on the rooftop of a shopping mall, these people were not lacking food and water. They were living quite comfortably.

Alex was about to get closer to observe the inside of this settlement when he heard a shouting voice not far away. He withdrew his attention and turned towards the source of the sound. It was coming from the teachers' dormitory!

Since the City of Darkness had expanded by half after its upgrade, its northernmost end was now adjacent to the girls' dormitory. Alex's current position was right at the northernmost wall of the City of Darkness.

Thus, Alex could clearly hear the shouting coming from the direction of the teachers' dormitory. "Master! Listen! It sounds like the beautiful professor from the Economics Department!" The five women who were cooking and studying cuisine on the open ground also noticed the cry for help. Although the girls' dormitory blocked their view and they couldn't see the situation at the teachers' dormitory, just by the sound, Li Wan'ning and the others guessed it was the beautiful professor from the Economics Department.

"Is that woman still not dead?" Shen Tingting said with disdain. "It really sounds like Professor Lu Yurou! Is she asking for help?! Let's go save her!" Myra, pushing her glasses up, said excitedly. Lu Yurou was her idol.

"Why save her? Don't you know, she was actually in a room with the vice-chancellor, that old man!" Shen Tingting said with contempt: "Why save such a person? Disgusting!"

"Are you talking about Vice Chancellor Lu? The one who looks very fierce?" Tang Jingyan asked curiously.

"Yes! That old man, always looking grumpy, as if everyone owes him millions. To think that Lu Yurou got involved with him! He's old enough to be her father!" Shen Tingting stuck out her tongue.

"Vice Chancellor Lu is actually her father! Although Professor Lu Yurou never mentions it, I know because my father is a director at the school board, and he told me about it," Tang Jingyan said with a smile. "You've misunderstood Professor Yurou; she's a good woman. She's very stubborn too. She's 33 and still refuses to find a boyfriend, which really frustrates Vice Chancellor Lu."𝒇𝓻𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝙗𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎fre(e)webnov(l).com
