Seeing this scene, everyone present was completely stunned.
Tian Wang’s mouth even unconsciously opened wide, as if it could easily fit two duck eggs.
Unlike the others’ astonishment, Lu Bai’s expression remained calm at this moment.
The faint arc at the corner of his mouth seemed to reveal a hint of amusement.
Clearly, there was no visible change compared to before, but the crowd’s senses felt entirely different.
Sizzle~
Blood spurted from the zombie’s severed neck, splattering onto the floor.
Seeing this, the crowd finally snapped out of their daze.
Once reason returned to their minds, looking at the bloody object under Lu Bai’s feet, they all couldn’t help but dry heave.
Although it was still a bit embarrassing, compared to the others, it was already quite good.
After all, they were just a group of high school students, who had never seen such a cruel and bloody scene.
Ke Jianghao looked at Lu Bai, hesitated for a moment, then somewhat unnaturally squeezed out two words.
“Thanks.”
To be honest, being saved by someone with whom he had some conflict made him feel very uncomfortable inside.
Lu Bai didn’t have such complex thoughts; he smiled at Ke Jianghao and then casually wiped the bloodstains from his eight-sided Han sword.
“Yue~”
After dry heaving for a long time, someone finally couldn’t hold back and vomited.
Rice grains and meat scraps, along with stomach acid, poured onto the floor, the sour stench mixed with a strong bloody smell making the office’s odor simply unbearable.
Lu Bai sheathed the cleaned eight-sided Han sword behind his back and scanned the messy scene.
He lowered his voice and said, “You’ve all vomited now, so what do you plan to do next?”
“If more zombies come, this security door definitely won’t hold.” Ke Jianghao looked at the gap in the doorframe, his tone very certain.
Their voices drew the recovering crowd’s attention to them.
Regrettably, after truly contacting zombies, their already scant courage was even more depleted.
Not to mention that most people here temporarily had no motivation to leave this “safety” room.
Ke Jianghao turned to look at the person in this office who nominally had the most right to speak—
The female teacher was still slumped under the window, pressing her chest in lingering shock, making it impossible to expect her to stand up and say anything.
“Um, Lu classmate, and Ke classmate…”
Wu Ya’s face flushed red as she took a sip of water and rinsed her mouth briefly before continuing, “I also agree with the self-rescue plan, but it’s best to come up with a safe plan. There’s no need for us to rush too much.”
Incidentally, Lu Bai’s actions were too clean and efficient.
Apart from that pull on Ke Jianghao, he didn’t show any superhuman physical fitness, at most making the crowd think the sword on him was quite sharp.
“How about we wait until evening to see?”
Tian Wang’s complexion was still very ugly; he was the one who had vomited the most.
Zheng Xiaoming immediately chimed in, “Yeah, maybe by evening those zombies will all be blind.”
Everyone didn’t know how else to call them, so they simply followed Lu Bai’s example and called them zombies.
Lu Bai could clearly sense that Zheng Xiaoming and the female teacher were the two least willing to take risks among everyone present.
He didn’t bother pointing it out, just chuckled and said, “At night, the field of vision is limited, making it more dangerous.”
Having been infected with the zombie virus, he knew zombies’ vision was no weaker than humanity’s, and their hearing was even superior.
Given a choice, Lu Bai preferred to act during the day.
Anyway, he didn’t plan to stay here too long; those willing to leave with him—if they encountered danger on the way and he could help, he naturally wouldn’t mind lending a hand.
But if they insisted on staying in the office to wait for death, he wouldn’t force them to seek survival with him; maybe they could survive a bit longer that way.
“Just say your plan directly.”
Ke Jianghao breathed in small gasps.
Lu Bai walked over and pushed open the window, letting the office air circulate a bit.
As he turned to face the crowd, he conveniently pulled down the curtain: “Action in two hours, head to a place with ample supplies like a supermarket to settle.”
……
Even the most difficult choice could be decided in two hours.
Once Ke Jianghao clearly expressed approval of Lu Bai’s plan, the others, at least on the surface, no longer opposed.
To put it bluntly, going with the flow was the choice of most people.
During this time before action, Ke Jianghao continued collecting zombie-related information online.
Lu Bai, without explanation, gathered everyone’s jackets and planned to twist them together with the curtain.
He didn’t have high requirements for this thing, as long as it didn’t break midway.
Wu Ya saw that Lu Bai had woven it almost done, then inquired, “Are you making it into a rope?”
“We can’t just take the stairs, right? Or do you plan to jump straight down from the third floor?”
Lu Bai glanced at her: “I can’t use Heaven and Earth Great Shift to catch you all.”
“What… Great Heaven and Earth.” Wu Ya was stunned, clearly not getting the reference.
Seeing this, Lu Bai suddenly smiled: “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
He wasn’t stupid; from the situation when he first entered, it was clear.
Letting him into the office was obviously this female classmate’s decision alone.
Although even without hiding in the office, he might not have been eaten by zombies, he still acknowledged Wu Ya’s goodwill.
However, when he said this, he clearly overlooked how much lethality his current appearance had on a young girl.
“Who needs your protection.”
Wu Ya first reflexively refuted, then her face visibly turned bright red at a speed visible to the naked eye, incoherently explaining, “No, that’s not what I meant, I mean…”
Lu Bai blinked eyes, quickly realizing the reason for Wu Ya’s overreaction.
He then proactively changed the topic: “Take a rest now while you can; there probably won’t be a chance later.”
Wu Ya gave a barely audible hum, then walked to the side and sat down with complex emotions.
Before Lu Bai could relax for a moment, Ke Jiangni walked over to him and solemnly said, “Thank you.”
“For what?”
In a daze, Lu Bai felt like he was an NPC in a beginner village, with players coming to talk and accept missions every now and then.
“If you hadn’t pulled my brother just now, he might have turned into one of those zombies outside by now.”
Ke Jiangni’s attitude in thanking was very sincere.
Lu Bai nodded, indicating understanding: “If you insist on thanking me, could you trouble you to clean the floor? You all vomited quite a lot earlier.”
Seemingly not expecting Lu Bai’s reaction to be this, Ke Jiangni’s delicately featured face became somewhat stiff.
“I’ll do it.”
Zheng Xiaoming, who had been paying attention here, heard this and volunteered to pick up the broom and get to work.
