Explore YangHe School again

TN City is a brother city adjacent to LinXian City, with the two cities separated by a river several hundred meters wide. The YangHe Bridge spans across the river, tightly connecting the two cities. Thanks to the convenience of the YangHe Bridge, many buildings were constructed along its sides, and the most famous of these was the riverside YJ Residential Area.

At this moment, in the YJ Residential Area, Building 8, Unit 3, Room 4008.

"Cough... cough!" A young woman lay in bed, coughing intensely. Two men sat by her bedside, one slightly older man holding a child, his brow furrowed as he sighed repeatedly, "Oh, what can we do? If this continues, we'll all be trapped here."

Sighing, he looked at the emaciated infant in his arms, made a determined decision, and turned to the woman on the bed, "Nicola, with zombies everywhere outside and no food left at home, the child will suffer alongside us. Rather than starving to death later, why don't we..."

As he continued, the man paused, but his meaning was clear. The woman's pale face turned flush, and she spoke with excitement, propping herself up, "Duane, this is your child. Are you fit to be a father for saying such things? Cough... cough!"Her words were cut off by a fit of severe coughing.

The man's temper flared too, and he stood up, his voice low and angry, "What right do you have to question if I'm fit or not? If it weren't for me, this family would've been done for! Look at you now, lying in bed every day like a consumptive, doing nothing but nagging at me. If you have the guts, go out and find food!"

"Duane, are you an ungrateful wretch? Back when you had nothing, my parents didn't mind taking you in, providing food and shelter, even letting you work alongside us. This house was bought with my parents' help. Who are you to criticize me?" Nicola cried out while scolding him.

"Enough!" Clark, who had been listening, couldn't take it anymore and stood up to stop the quarrel. With a determined tone, he said, "It's just food, right? I'll go out and get some. Stop fucking arguing!"

He then turned to Duane and warned, "Duane, let me tell you, I'm giving you face by calling you my brother-in-law. You better speak to my sister more politely. If I see you bullying her, I'll make sure you regret it!"

With that, he headed towards the kitchen and grabbed a kitchen knife. Nicola, alarmed, quickly called out, "Clark, where are you going? Let's think of another solution. sister can still hold on!"

"Hold on? Haha! You can hold on, but I can't. If Clark is so capable, let him go! I want to see what he can bring back!" Duane's words made Clark's expression darken, and he shot Duane a fierce glare before leaving the room.

However, at the moment of closing the door, Clark heard the quarrel between Duane and his sister again.

"Ah!" Clark sighed deeply. What had happened to this world? A little over half a month ago, everything was peaceful, but now it was a world of corpses and hell on Earth. Many times, he had told himself it was just a nightmare, that he would wake up, but every time he did, the zombie roars outside the window reminded him that it wasn't a dream.

"What should I do?" Clark's eyes were filled with confusion. His sister now had a lung disease that urgently needed penicillin for treatment. The family had run out of food for three days, and his young nephew was growing weaker by the day. On top of that, his brother-in-law was turning against them. He had no idea why his parents had brought in a son-in-law in the first place.

"Never mind, I should go find food first!" Clark thought to himself, gripping the kitchen knife tightly and descending the stairs with extreme caution. Their apartment was on the fourth floor – not too high – but he moved slowly and carefully, afraid of making the slightest noise that could attract the zombies.

Strangely, just a week ago, he could easily take down one or two zombies on his own. However, in recent days, the zombies had become more agile and stronger. Even dealing with a single one had become a difficult task.

Walking out of the building, soon the roars of zombies reached Clark's ears again. He cautiously peeked his head out and scanned the surroundings. He spotted a zombie walking towards him about fifty meters away from the entrance of the unit.

"Damn it." Clark immediately pulled his head back and pressed his back against the wall. He tightly gripped the kitchen knife in his hands, his heart pounding. The zombie's groans grew closer, and Clark's palms began to sweat nervously. He took a deep breath, preparing for the moment the zombie's head would emerge.

"Die!" Clark suddenly lunged forward, wielding the kitchen knife to strike. The knife easily sank into the zombie's shoulder, and dark red blood slowly oozed down the zombie's arm.

"Damn, I missed!" Clark inwardly cursed. As expected, the wounded zombie howled in pain, turned around despite the injury, and lunged at Clark, bearing its teeth to bite.

"Go to hell!" Realizing the danger, Clark kicked the zombie, knocking it to the ground. Taking advantage of its struggle to get up, Clark dashed outside, not even bothering to retrieve the knife. The zombie quickly climbed back to its feet and chased after him.

"This is bad, really bad!" Clark glanced back at the pursuing zombie. He hurriedly turned his head, sprinting for the exit of the residential area. He remembered that just outside the complex was the YangHe embankment, and below was the river. If he could manage to hide in the river, the zombie might not be able to smell his scent.

At the same time, on YangHe West Road, Anthony walked in the direction of YangHe School. The recent activities on West Road had puzzled him. He had already cleared out the zombies from this street a few days ago, so where had this large group of zombies suddenly come from? There was only one obvious answer.

It was likely connected to the high school section of YangHe School, and very possibly related to that Level 1 Deviant Killer. Lost in thought, he reached the corner where Sunshine Supermarket was located. Turning left, he suddenly saw something that made his pupils shrink.

"As expected!" The view before him revealed that all the shops on both sides of YangHe North Road had collapsed, and the iron gate of YangHe School in the innermost area was utterly destroyed, with debris scattered everywhere. Clearly, it had been subjected to violent force. The only entity capable of smashing open the iron gate was a Level 1 Deviant.

With this realization, Anthony tightened his grip on the Tang sword and proceeded with caution. Stepping into the school grounds, he found himself facing the middle school section, with the basketball court and the school cafeteria on the left, while the high school section was situated beside the cafeteria, closer to the YangHe embankment.

He hardly needed to look closely at these buildings; Anthony knew them well. He had loved climbing the basketball hoops on the court during his childhood. However, this wasn't the time for nostalgia. He briskly walked towards the basketball court. Only a few scattered zombies were in sight, but no sign of any significant threats. He frowned. Could he have been mistaken? Lost in thought, he failed to notice the few zombies spotting him, their groans growing louder as they charged towards him.

Anthony paid them little mind, and when the zombies were about a meter away, he swung the Tang knife. Swoosh! The headless body of one zombie fell to the ground. Five or six more zombies followed, but they were all swiftly dispatched by Anthony in the blink of an eye.

Half a minute later, after collecting the zombie crystals and storing them in his spatial ring, Anthony sheathed his sword and continued towards the high school section. The high school building formed a concave shape, with the gap facing towards the basketball court.

After taking a few steps, Anthony abruptly stopped. He quickly moved, leaping onto the rooftop of the cafeteria and then making a swift step, crouching along the edge of the roof to observe the scene outside the high school section. When he saw what was happening, especially the colossal figure, Anthony couldn't help but inhale sharply.
