Xiao Feng stood up and quickly ran towards the group of zombies.
While running, he immediately switched from the Barrett to the kitchen knife.
With kitchen knife in hand, he felt invincible.
Although many zombies were killed, there were still many surrounding the little girl.
It seemed like they were protecting this little girl.
Upon seeing a living person approaching, the children zombies rushed towards Xiao Feng without hesitation.
These were all first-tier zombies, not very threatening to Xiao Feng.
With a swift motion of the kitchen knife, Xiao Feng decapitated every little zombie that came charging towards him.
Upon reaching the little girl, Xiao Feng slowly raised the kitchen knife.
Roar!
At that moment, the massive flesh zombie came charging from a distance.
"Don't get agitated; I'm here to save you!"
As he spoke, Xiao Feng immediately cut open the large net that had enclosed the little girl.
The little girl regained her freedom and stood in front of Xiao Feng.
At this moment, the flesh zombie charged forward, but when it reached the little girl, it suddenly stopped.
"Teddy! Return!"
The little girl shouted.
The three to four-meter-tall rotting zombie rapidly shrank and transformed into a brownish-black rag doll.
The little girl bent down, picked up the rag doll, and then glanced at Xiao Feng. She turned and continued forward.
Xiao Feng felt uneasy upon witnessing this.
He had witnessed that scene just now.
The girl was shouting for her mother. Did those people kill her mother? Or did they take her mother away? Is her mother a survivor or a zombie?
Xiao Feng couldn't be sure.
However, when Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and followed the lonely figure of the little girl, she silently led the way.
The little girl quietly moved forward and unknowingly arrived at the teachers' dormitory on the right side of the school.
Observing the recently killed zombie corpses around, Xiao Feng guessed that the survivors must have come out from here.
He followed the little girl up to the third floor. When they reached the staircase landing of the third floor, the little girl stopped.
She silently crouched at the door of the room around the corner, shedding tears of sorrow.
Due to her being a zombie, her various organs had undergone significant changes. Therefore, the sound of her crying was especially eerie and gave people an unsettling feeling. If she cried like this late at night and you hadn't seen her, it could be terrifying.
When Xiao Feng approached the little girl, he reached into his pocket and took out a green first-grade crystal core He extended his hand, offering it to the little girl.
The little girl slowly raised her head and gazed at the crystal core in Xiao Feng's hand. She immediately ceased crying.
However, she didn't immediately reach out to take it, but instead, she looked up at Xiao Feng.
"Eat it!"
Xiao Feng displayed a gentle smile.
Smiles can be infectious, and the little girl, looking at Xiao Feng, slowly reached out and picked up the green crystal core.
Subsequently, the little girl placed the crystal core in her mouth and began to eat.
In no time, Xiao Feng was surprised to see the bullet holes on the little girl's body slowly healing.
The energy was not only healing her injuries but also enhancing her strength.
Xiao Feng observed that the rag doll in her hand seemed to regain some of its vitality.
After finishing her meal, the little girl tiptoed and looked at the teacher's office.
Xiao Feng followed, confused.
Inside the office, there lay a female teacher dressed in professional attire.
"Is she your mother?" Xiao Feng asked as he lowered his head to look at the little girl.
The little girl seemed to understand Xiao Feng's words and nodded sadly.
With a thud, Xiao Feng kicked open the door to the office.
He slowly stepped inside, then bent down to turn over the body of the female teacher.
The female teacher with disheveled hair had multiple bullet holes on her chest and head. Black blood oozed from the edges of the bullet holes, clearly inflicted by the rescue team moments ago. However...
This female teacher had a pale complexion and a strikingly beautiful face. Despite being infected, her facial features had not changed much. Unlike other heavily infected zombies with torn mouths and bulging eyes, she still retained a somewhat human appearance.
It seemed like she could almost be saved with a good bath.
Gently laying the female zombie on the ground, Xiao Feng looked around the office. The office was minimally decorated, with a dust-covered desktop. On the table were open student assignments, suggesting that she might have been grading papers before getting infected.
There was also a framed photograph on the desk. Xiao Feng picked it up and wiped off the dust. In the photo, the female zombie and the little girl were smiling happily. They appeared to be mother and daughter.
After searching the office thoroughly, Xiao Feng didn't find anything else of value. He put the photo away and turned to leave with the little girl.
However, at that moment, the little girl suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Feng's leg, looking pitifully at her mother's lifeless body on the floor.
"What does she mean?" Xiao Feng wondered.
The little girl continued to shake Xiao Feng's clothes, emitting a hoarse, intermittent voice.
"Save... save... Mom!"
"You want me to save your mother?" Xiao Feng was taken aback.
"But she was already infected, and she got shot in the head. She's already dead!" Xiao Feng felt helpless.
However, the pitiful appearance of the little girl tugged at Xiao Feng's heartstrings.
"Right!"
At that moment, Xiao Feng suddenly remembered the mutant serum. He crouched down in front of the little girl and said, "I can try to save your mother with this serum, but after I save her, you both have to come with me, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" The little girl nodded eagerly without hesitation.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng was relieved. He took out the pale blue serum and explained, "This is the only thing that can possibly save your mother. But I can't guarantee it will work."
He made it clear to the girl, even though he wasn't sure if she understood. Xiao Feng then gently poured the serum into the mouth of the female teacher. To prevent any waste, he fed her slowly, drop by drop, into her foul-smelling mouth.
When the last drop of serum flowed into her mouth, Xiao Feng disposed of the empty glass vial. He silently watched the lifeless body, waiting for a miracle.
The little girl sat quietly beside the body, observing everything.
Time passed by, minute by minute, as Xiao Feng paced back and forth in the office. However, after a full ten minutes, the body showed no signs of response.
"Could it be that it didn't work?" Xiao Feng furrowed his brows.
Outside, the sky was gradually darkening, and the sounds of zombie growls echoed in the hallway.
"Let's go back for now," Xiao Feng decided as he hoisted the body on his back and headed outside.
It seemed like the serum might have expired or been rendered ineffective because it was consumed by a deceased zombie. Xiao Feng couldn't help feeling disappointed.
