Chapter 42 - Janitors closet

"I think knowing this doesn't make any difference at all" Feng Jing was the first one to recover from the traumatic proposal and straightforwardly denied ever hearing about it.

The others quickly nodded thinking that it would have been better if they had not known about it.

Li shrugged and went on saying "It's not like I was forcing you to listen rather it was you guys who forced me to share this extraordinary idea"

"Let's hurry." Li Chuan who was the most cowardly among them was the first one who proposed the thing he hated the most to avoid Li's unusual opinions.

Li raised his brows in surprise but he didn't oppose him after all they were in a rush. "Grab a weapon to your liking and we can go straight after that.

Yan Linyuan didn't hesitate to choose bokuto instead of his favourite shinai. He wouldn't dare to wager on his life knowing that shinai's durability and its attacking power was nowhere near to bokuto.

Feng Jing didn't want to use swords. He was very against the idea of being so close to the zombies to kill them.

He quickly searched for other weapons and found a stinger max. He was quite surprised that the school provided them but more than that he was satisfied with it.

Li motioned his hand to give him one too.

Feng Jing threw another stinger max at him. It was completely white which was looked altogether different from his mossy oak country. "Are you left-handed too?"

"No, but don't worry I can at the least hit the target" Li traced the bow outline by his thin fingers with a blank expression as if he was reminded of something that happened long ago.

Li Chuan was the only one left that was without any weapons. He looked to his right and left and let out a strangled cry from the back of his throat.

"Why don't you carry a sword or a bow? Anything as long as you can increase your security." Li advised while he was busy stuffing the weapons in his clothes for later use.

Li Chuan who was hesitantly looking at the weapons was suddenly stuffed with a sword and a bow. He looked at the faces of his two friends with an exaggerated expression. "What am I gonna do with this?"

"Scratch my back?"

The givers both had offended expressions. They surprisingly had the same opinion for once "No. You are supposed to defend yourself with them."

Li Chuan looked at his hands which were full of unwanted weapons with twitching eyebrows. He suddenly leaned toward them and placed them in their own hands without any pause in his actions.

In their dumbfounded gaze, he comfortably held a stun gun out of nowhere and showed them a big Cheshire grin.

The two backed away from him while Li was looking at Li Chuan's choice of weapon with a complicated expression.

"You can't use stun guns on zombies so who are you trying to use that on?" Li was sure that the zombies were dead already after which the muscles become stiff. It commences after around 3 hours, reaching maximum stiffness after 12 hours, and gradually dissipates until approximately 72 hours after death.

It was practically useless to carry a stun gun during a zombie apocalypse unless the target wasn't a zombie.

"You guys can protect me from zombies and I'll protect you guys from other humans." Li Chuan said proudly not noticing the intricate expression of others.

"It would be for the best for you to protect yourself without our help. You should carry a more efficient weapon." Yan Linyuan showed him his sword when he said efficient weapons. He was afraid that Li Chuan wouldn't be able to keep himself alive if they were ever separated.

Li and Feng Jing also agreed with him knowing how important it was to have a good weapon on themselves for survival.

Li Chuan refused to leave the stun gun but instead carried an extra sword with him.

"Well, let's keep going." Li motioned at them to follow him closely and he opened the door.

They were easily able to reach the next block after utilizing all their strengths carefully. They let Li Chuan guide them after that.

"We are going in the right direction, right?" Feng Jing smirked in humour and glanced at the guide's annoyed expression. He finally felt refreshed after bland killing and an upsetting duration.

"Didn't you want to go to the athletics club room? I'm sure this is the right way." Li Chuan replied sarcastically.

"Did you hear me right? I actually wanted to go to the science lab" Feng Jing continued his teasing with an amused grin.

Li Chuan greeted his teeth and sent him a fierce glare. "Why don't you just ask me to lead you to heaven?"

Feng Jing had a cheeky smile on his face as he replied to his angry friend "I thought that you wouldn't know the way after belonging to the underworld."

Li Chuan who was preparing his retort stopped abruptly when he saw the hallway that was densely packed with zombies.

"Why are there so many zombies gathered here? Feng Jing looked at the hallway with scrutinizing eyes. At most, they found a group of 4-5 zombies in a place which is why they were able to kill them quickly and reach there fast.

"Most of them are surrounding that janitors closet" Yan Linyuan observed carefully and said out his thoughts. He tracked the zombies with his eyes and said in a dazed manner.

"Maybe they discovered a human breath there?"

"You mean to say that there is someone in the janitor's closet?" Feng Jing asked doubtfully, which idiot would find no other place than to hide inside a janitors closet.

"What are we going to do then?" Li Chuan looked at others for opinion. He wasn't willing to be any part of the decision-making team.

Feng Jing rubbed his eyebrows in distress. He was already against the idea of having to go through that many zombies just to save some stupid stranger.

"Let's save him/her." Yan Linyuan contrary to his friends thinking wanted to save the person who was trapped in that predicament.

Feng Jing was quite surprised when the usual solitary person suggested involving himself with someone else by his own decision and even more he wanted to save the person. It was quite a surprising fact.

"Are you sure?" Li asked them once again. It would be quite troublesome and he wanted their firm confirmation to move forward if there was ever going to be a problem involved in that case.

Feng Jing looked at Yan Linyuan determined expression and Li Chuan excited face. He sighed resignedly and agreed at last. "Let's save him/her."

"Yay! We are going to save a person." Li Chuan who left the decision to the other two said without any burden when it was confirmed that they would save the person.

He was so enthusiastic as if he was not the one that going to rescue others but the one that was going to be rescued.
