Chereads / Death For Life / Chapter 40 - Her Retribution

Chapter 40 - Her Retribution

The classroom was awfully silent.

"Now, what?" Chen Yang was unable to be quiet anymore. He was very hungry and wasn't in the mood to stare at the girl like others knowing that he would undoubtedly have to see something much worse than that after more time passes.

"We have to get out of here." Qi Cheng quietly answered with an apathetic face.

"Let's move on. We have to get the food." Yan Zheming suggested with a grim expression. They couldn't waste any more time than they already have.

The girl finally lifted her head when she heard about food. It could be seen that everyone was very hungry and the girl wasn't spared either.

"What about her?" Qi Cheng refused to look at the shivering girl but instead turned his head away in disgust when he saw her staring at him.

"We have to leave her here" Xu Feiqun who was quiet all the time after what happened suddenly proclaimed. "We can't take her with us."

"I agree" Yan Zheming and Chen Yang held no hesitation in agreeing to Feiqun.

Feiqun looked at Qi Cheng for his answer who was hesitant.

"What do you mean?" The girl stood up with shaky legs and slumped against the door with an unbelievable expression."You can't just leave me here."

No one bothered to answer the girl, they were already determined to leave that girl. No one could change their decision.

The girl staggered toward Qi Cheng who was the only one who hadn't agreed with the rest of them.

She tried to clutch the last hope that was extremely close to her but her hand swayed in the empty air and slowly fell.

The girl suddenly began to laugh crazily when she saw that everyone was silent. "You are going to leave me just because I pushed my friend onto the zombies."

"I wanted to live. Think about it in my place, wouldn't you do the same?"

"I had no other choice, I was panicked and I didn't want to die."

"Nobody wants to die. You can't think that it's wrong of me to do that to survive. Anybody in my place would have done that."

Everyone had a disgusted face. They didn't expect her to be so confident about doing such a thing and even dragging them onto the situation.

"We are not taking you with us no matter what you say." Xu Feiqun had a chilly face. He couldn't just take her with him after all that happened.

"You can't leave me here to die!" The girl screamed with tears running down her face.

The quiet and shy face that they saw, in the beginning, couldn't be found anymore only her hysterical and craziness appearance remained.

Nobody was moved from her clamor. They were more determined than before to leave the girl behind. They were plainly disgusted with her by then.

The girl realized that no one would take her side. She understood that the only one who could truly understand was killed by her own hands.

"Don't think of yourselves as saints leaving me here to die alone. You all will be responsible for my death." The girl had a hideous expression on her face.

"All I wanted was to live!" She screamed in paranoia. "I want to live!"

Xu Feiqun was enraged. He didn't know there could be someone who could be so selfish and unreasonable. He would have already hit the person if she wasn't a girl.

"I know that we aren't saints."

"But at least we aren't pushing our friend to die so horribly and don't even dream about getting out of here alive after being bitten." Xu Feiqun retorted. He had enough of her screaming and unreasonable play of victim.

"Let's not waste any more time on such useless things. I'm hungry." Chen Yang

"Yeah. Let's go." Yan Zheming agreed and took the lead in opening the door.

The others sneaked out of the class carefully without withdrawing any attention to themselves.

The girl was the only one left alone in the classroom. Her leg where she had been bitten was already festering. Her face was wet from her tears and snot.

She had no hope in her survival. It was her retribution. She could only hope that her family would survive the apocalypse.

"It's too crowded" Qi Cheng had no idea how they could get inside the canteen and safely fill their stomach when there were so many zombies trudging in that place.

"This sucks." Xu Feiqun sighed regretfully. "Or else let's not go there."

"You want to starve and die like a hungry ghost?" Chen Yang Interrupted whatever Feiqun was going to say next.

"You are welcome to go back but don't expect us to follow you back like a coward."

"I didn't say that you were a coward" Xu Feiqun asserted with an annoyed face. "Don't misinterpret my words."

Chen Yang didn't agree with Feiqun. "Even if you don't say that, the meaning is still the same."

Xu Feiqun opened his mouth to retort back but he was stopped by Zheming.

"Stop fighting with each other like little kids. We have to reach a more safe place before it gets dark." Yan Zheming patted the panel behind which they all were hiding. It was like a paper shelter. It held them no safety.
