Chapter 9
Ye Li felt puzzled. He thought Yun Man should be a warrior from the Annan Base City, so why was she here? The same went for the other Awakened Beings.
“Senior, we came to Tongcheng for training,”
Yun Man replied, lowering her head.
“Training?”
Ye Li understood. No wonder there were no zombies on the streets when he was at the hospital. These delicate flowers had most likely attracted the zombies away.
“How many people came for training this time?” Ye Li asked.
“About twenty people in total. We didn’t expect there would be so many zombies in the East District. Only five of us managed to escape, but I don’t know how the rest of us are doing”
Yun Man answered, her face still pale, as if she couldn’t believe what she had experienced was real.
“They’re all dead. Not even a trace of bone left.” Ye Li said calmly.
“Ah?”
Yun Man widened her eyes, and her already pale face turned even paler.
The people who died were her classmates. They had come to Tongcheng secretly for training because their teachers at the academy didn’t allow them to come here.
She deeply regretted it now. If she could do it again, she would have persuaded her classmates not to come to Tongcheng.
“Why? If it weren’t for me, you would have had the same fate as them.” Ye Li said slowly.
After saying that, Ye Li seemed to think of something and looked at Yun Man again.
“You said there were a lot of zombies in the East District?”
“Yes, Senior.”
Yun Man was confused, not understanding why Ye Li was asking this.
Ye Li smiled. What he feared now was that there wouldn’t be enough zombies.
“Then lead the way to the East District, let’s go.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Man was so scared that her soul seemed to leave her body.
“Senior, you… you want to go to the East District?”
Yun Man felt like she must have misheard. She had just experienced a narrow escape in the East District. How could she dare to go back?
“Yes, I want to go to the East District,” Ye Li nodded.
“But, Senior, there are too many zombies in the East District.”
Yun Man wanted to dissuade Ye Li from the idea of going to the East District. Essentially, she was being kind.
“I’m not afraid of zombies,” Ye Li said indifferently.
Yun Man saw that Ye Li was determined to go to the East District, but she had just barely escaped from there. How could she possibly think of going back?
So many of her classmates died in the East District. How could she explain it when she returned to Annan Academy?
Yun Man was torn with conflicting thoughts!!!
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to show me the way?” Ye Li looked at Yun Man.
Yun Man was startled. “No, Senior, it’s not that. I just…”
“I’m just hungry and thirsty, with no strength left in my body.”
Yun Man had no choice but to say this. She wanted Ye Li to give up, but she wasn’t lying either. She was truly hungry and thirsty.
“Have some food.”
After saying that, Ye Li took out a box of food from the system space.
Ye Li opened the food box, revealing bread and milk inside.
Yun Man widened her eyes, looking astonished at the bread and milk in the box.
She couldn’t understand how Ye Li had managed to obtain them. She distinctly remembered that Ye Li didn’t have this box of food just now.
But at this moment, Yun Man didn’t have time to think about it. She had run all the way from the East District and was already famished and thirsty.
She picked up the bread and milk and started eating and drinking.
“Mmm, it’s delicious!”
Ye Li smiled. In this city overrun by zombies, it wasn’t easy to find bread and milk. However, Yun Man was from Annan Base City. It must be different for her.
“Now, can you take me to the East District?”
Ye Li looked at Yun Man, thinking that now that she was full and satisfied, it was time to move on.
Yun Man had been preoccupied with eating and forgotten about this. There was no such thing as a free lunch. She could only reluctantly agree.
“Well… okay.” Yun Man nodded.
Immediately, Yun Man led Ye Li toward the East District.
