Lee Mingyun and Xie Ju had decided to advance to the school's main office, the most obvious place where the principal was when the zombie apocalypse began, and the blonde doubted that the principal had left there.
So they decided to leave, after the blue-eyed one had stressed to him that he should kill the zombies by pointing their heads.
On the way, Lee Mingyun regretted having gone out in the middle of the night with Xie Ju and as soon as they came out and started walking they were stopped by four zombies.
But it's not like she had any other choice, she had a limited time to complete her first task and she was sure that if she failed again, the 01 system would no longer be so merciful to give her some more time.
So they had to fight and to the blonde's pride her friend didn't perform the worst, it's not that she wasn't super strong either and killed the four zombies, but at least she was able (trembling with fear) to kill one, and the She killed the rest.
They did not enter any room to see if there was any supply, because if they did they would waste time, they went straight to the address, on the way they met several zombies, but luckily for them, the group of zombies with the There were no more than five members, so they could easily finish them off with the help of Lee Mingyun, and she had to thank the hard training she underwent by her parents from her world.
But their luck ran out when they were about to turn a hallway and encountered eight zombies. To the girls' relief, this group had not noticed them and they were able to sneak into the nearest room.
—There are eight of these zombies! — shouted anguished with teary eyes, Xie Ju, who received a silence signal from her friend to keep quiet — I'm sorry, it's just that we were so close to reaching my grandmother —
The blonde put her hand on the black-haired man as a sign of support — Don't worry, Juju, we're going to make it, we just have to find a way for at least half of the zombies to leave to continue advancing —
The blonde's words seemed to have somehow comforted the black-haired girl, who took a deep, long breath to say, — You're right, we're going to make it, I just have to wait a little longer —
Lee Mingyun looked around the room, on the walls of the room there were several maps of different places in the world, there were also posters and charts about the climate, biome and other geographical aspects, they even had a large globe, everything in this room indicated that it was Geography class.
— Juju, help me check what things can be useful to us — the blonde said to her friend, going to a shelf to check if there was anything that could be useful, and Xie Ju followed her obediently behind her.
They looked up and down the shelf, they found maps of several countries, they also found several Geography books, they even found several binoculars and a telescope.
Lee Mingyun only took a map with the nearest cities, he also took a pair of binoculars and the telescope that was there, while the blonde was choosing what she was going to take, the black-haired woman was reading a book about the typical foods that were in each region of his country, licking his lips.
It was then that a stomach growl sounded.
The blonde stopped what she was doing and turned to look at her friend who was frozen due to embarrassment. — Did your stomach just growl? — I asked, making Xie Ju blush like a tomato.
Xie Ju just wanted the earth to swallow her because of the shame she just went through — I'm sorry, I just think I'm a little hungry —
Lee Mingyun didn't answer anything, he just grabbed his backpack to take out a can of fruit cocktail. — Eat this — he told him to hand him the can.
Xie Ju stared at the blonde's outstretched hand that contained the can of fruit cocktail — No, no, it's okay, I'm not that hungry, you better eat it yourself — she lied nervously only to be betrayed by her own stomach that growled again.
The blonde rolled her eyes, grabbed a knife and opened the can to extend it again to her friend — Here, you can't refuse or it will be wasted — however, Xie Ju rejected it, with no other option, the blonde put the can in his hands of the black-haired woman.
Xie Ju was moved by that gesture — I will eat it — she said determinedly — only if you eat with me, this is a lot for me so I would like you to eat with me — she said and when she saw that the blonde was hesitant she decided to add — If you refuse, neither will I. I will eat —
With no other choice, Lee Mingyun sat down to start eating the fruit from the can along with Xie Ju who was happy to have something to fill her stomach.
Xie Ju touched her tummy as soon as she finished eating, completely satisfied — Now what do we do? — asked
The blue-eyed blonde finally put the things she had chosen into her backpack and when she was about to respond, a very loud gunshot was heard, scaring the two girls, especially Xie Ju who jumped into Lee Mingyun's arms hugging her. because of fear.
After the shot, several grunts and zombie footsteps followed, which were heard further and further away.
The blonde quickly pulled Xie Ju away from her — What the hell just happened? — Xie Ju asked her friend in a whisper.
— Someone just shot — Lee Mingyun whispered in disbelief, she was happy that she had finally found one of the five weapons — We have to go see what's happening! — She shouted excitedly but her spirit faded when she saw her friend's bewildered face — Maybe the one who shot was your grandmother or was with her, I mean, isn't your grandmother the one in charge of handing out the weapons? You know what the director is like, always so strict and concerned about safety — I comment.
The black-haired woman nodded her head, understanding his point — Yes, it could be her —
— The shot was heard quite loudly, and the zombies ran to the right side as if desperate, maybe that's where the shot came from — he stated — Also, didn't you say that the address was close? —I ask—Maybe it won't be on the right side? —those questions made the black-haired girl tense.
Seeing Xie Ju tense, the blonde knew the answers to her questions.
— Mingyun, we have to go save my grandmother — Xie Ju said desperately, after all there was only one option as to why her grandmother or whoever shot did what they did and that was because she was in danger.
Lee Mingyun put on his backpack again and grabbed his trusty knife. — Come on — he said and started leaving, followed by Xie Ju.
...........
Meanwhile on the other side of the school, there were two women each armed with a gun, dressed in security guard uniforms arguing and on one side there was an elderly woman lying on the ground with a gunshot wound in her abdomen bleeding.
—I told you not to shoot him! — Security guard No. 1 scolded her partner with a frown — We just had to scare her so she would tell us where the other three weapons and ammunition are stored, stupid! —
Security guard No. 2 still remained paralyzed, unable to accept that she had injured a person by an involuntary shot. — I didn't mean to do it — she murmured nervously to let go of the gun she had in her hand.
— Even so, you already shot her and that old woman is bleeding to death — Guard No. 1 commented, making a grimace of displeasure when she saw the old woman bleeding, she bent down to grab her tightly by her neck — Let's see, you stinky old woman! Tell me where you hid the other weapons and ammunition, and maybe we will be merciful to you by shooting you dead or would you prefer that we leave you here to be food for zombies — threat — You choose —
The elderly woman held the place on her abdomen where she had been wounded with both hands to prevent it from bleeding much more, looking angrily at guard No. 1. — Do you think I'll tell you where I hid them just so you can win? You are insane; I'd rather endure being dismembered by zombies, even become one of them, than help you! —
Suddenly, faint growls were heard; They were the zombies attracted by the echo of the gunshot, and they were getting closer and closer.
Security guard No. 2 showed signs of panic when she knew that the growls and footsteps of the zombies were getting louder and louder — They're coming! It would be better to leave before he finds us — she said distressedly with heavy breathing only to receive a blow on her head.
— Shut up! Who do you think is the culprit? If you hadn't been so reckless, everything would be different! — Guard No. 1 shouted at her, looking at her and then returning to pay attention to the dying lady that she was still holding by her neck — And you piece of fossil! You'd better think about it better, after all I'm going to be merciful about something that "Zombies won't do it" — he told her with a mocking smile.
The old woman did not answer anything but she did something she had never done in her life, she spat in the face of the guard who was holding her.
— I never thought Director Xie would be so stubborn! but since she decided to die at the hands of the zombies, it would be better that we fulfill her wish, that makes her selfish and stingy — guard No. 1 mocked and then kicked the old woman right where she had been shot, making her writhe in pain — Now It would be better to leave before those unfortunates come — he said to his companion, who nodded desperately.
— You're right, besides we only have little ammunition — said guard No. 2.
Without saying anything else, the two security guards ran away, leaving the old woman bleeding on the floor.
Shortly after the guards escaped, several zombies arrived at the director's office, pushing each other against the door, which at any moment would collapse due to the force they exerted.
The two guards were barely able to get out without being detected by the zombies, they were walking down a hallway stealthily when suddenly they were attacked by six zombies that were running at full speed towards her, and although they tried to flee without using their weapons due to the orders of the guard No. 1 (for fear that the echo of the shots would attract more zombies) they could not escape or hide.
After a fight where guard No. 2 was bitten by one of the zombies and was being attacked, guard No. 1 in desperation decided to use the gun and started shooting at the zombies without caring about attracting the attention of more zombies.
Security guard No. 1 with the help of the gun was able to easily eliminate the zombies leaving only her and her partner who had been bitten by a zombie finally safe.
However, the roar of the gunshots caught the attention of the undead, who quickly headed towards the new source of the sound.
Even the zombies that were attacking outside the director's office also rushed towards the new source of the gunshot that echoed in the air.
Security guard No. 2 was holding her cheek, which was bleeding after being bitten by the zombie in that precise place. — Thank you for saving me, partner — she thanked, sighing with relief.
The other woman only denied seriously — I didn't shoot to save you, I shot to save myself —
— Even so, I almost died — security guard No. 2 reproached him. — It would be better to continue before more appear — he said to start walking, he did not realize that his companion was giving him a look full of sinister intent.
Guard No. 2 only took a few more steps before her partner stopped her, pointing his gun at the back of her head. She wanted to turn around to ask him why he was pointing his gun at her, but she couldn't because her partner didn't allow it. and I shoot him.
The lifeless body of security guard No. 2 fell to the ground next to a pistol that she was carrying, and her partner, who had murdered her, took the opportunity to take the weapon and flee from there to avoid being caught by the zombies.
But unfortunately she didn't get very far since the zombies found her and she was torn apart by several zombies as she said she was going to die to the old woman.
............
On the other hand, Lee Mingyun and Xie Ju had heard the sounds of distant gunshots, but decided to ignore them and continue on their way to the director's office, quickening their pace.
Even if Lee Mingyun was curious to know more about the weapons fired recently, they had to go check the principal's office first since it would be easier, now that the path was clear, because the zombies were busy chasing the noise it emitted. the shots.
After walking for a while, the two girls had managed to reach the director's office without too many obstacles on the way, except for some zombies; As they approached, they observed that the door to the director's office was marked with scratches and there was a zombie still trying to enter.
Lee Mingyun stopped Xie Ju who was approaching the office and approached the zombie with his knife in hand to stab him in the back of his head.
When they opened the door to the director's office, they found a chilling scene: the director was lying on the floor, bleeding from her abdomen due to a gunshot wound.
Horrified by her grandmother's situation, Xie Ju quickly approached and crouched down to help apply pressure to the wound in the abdomen to prevent it from bleeding even more — Grandma! What happened to you? Why do you have that wound? — the black-haired woman with tears in her eyes asked him, pressing both hands on his wound.
Director Xie had lost a lot of blood and was so tired that she could barely see, so she asked him — Xie Ju, is that you? My dear granddaughter — with eyes full of anguish, she raises her hand to caress her granddaughter's cheek — Oh, my dear granddaughter, you shouldn't be here, darling. At any moment those zombies will return, I don't want them to hurt you —
— I came here for you, grandma, and I didn't come alone, I made a friend who accompanied me to find you. She's a good person — Xie Ju told her, smiling even though her eyes were red from tears when she saw her grandmother in such a state. But upon hearing a moan of pain, he became more worried when he saw that blood did not stop flowing from the wound — Mingyun! — She called her friend, who was standing by the door — You have to help me, we need to do something, I don't want my grandmother to die — she said while some tears fell down her face.
Lee Mingyun hurried to his friend and knelt down to check on the director; He took her pulse and saw that it was weak — We need to stop the bleeding immediately, your grandmother has already lost a lot of blood and is weak, we also have to extract the bullet... — "or else your grandmother is going to die" she expressed, worried Looking at her friend — For this we need not only bandages, but also surgical instruments or something to replace them, and although I have a knife that is not contaminated in my backpack, they are very thick, they will only open the wound even more — she explained sadly.
Xie Ju understood what her friend meant by that, in a few words: "There is nothing we can do." Telling her that it hurt her to hear that was an understatement. — Still, we have to try — she said with a broken voice. — My grandmother. He's not going to die — he murmured, trying to convince himself.
The young black-haired woman felt that someone had grabbed her hand, she turned around to see that her grandmother was giving her a weak smile — It's okay, honey — she spoke with a raspy and weak voice — I already understood that my time has come to leave. this world and I accept it — he continued explaining — I only ask for two things — he asked
Xie Ju gently squeezed his grandmother's hand. — You're not going to die, don't talk like that — he told her to wipe away her tears with his hand.
The director no longer said anything to her granddaughter, she only turned to see her granddaughter's companion — Miss, can you be trusted? — I ask him in a low and weak voice.
Lee Mingyun pointed to herself in confusion.
— Mingyun can be trusted, grandma — declared the black-haired woman — Previously, she saved me from those zombies and also helped me find you — she commented — I wouldn't be with you if it weren't for her —
The director stared at Lee Mingyun with doubts and asked — Then why did you never tell me about her? —
— It's just that today we just got closer and became friends — Xie Ju commented and when she saw that her grandmother was about to reply, she added — But I know that she is a good person and is trustworthy, because if she wasn't, I wouldn't She would have intervened or approached me when I found myself surrounded by zombies — she explained, determined to defend her friend — In addition, she accompanied me to this place despite knowing the risks that this entailed. —
The old woman only gave her a smile. — Since you are so determined to defend her, I have no choice but to trust her...— She was interrupted due to a strong cough that came out of her.
Xie Ju gently patted her on the back without knowing what to do — Granny! — I call him desperate
When the director finally calmed her cough, she told her — Now pay attention to me, I need you to do me two favors, darling — the young black-haired girl just nodded her head at her grandmother's words — Do you see that painting there? Go there and move that painting — she ordered, looking at Lee Mingyun and pointing to the large portrait of herself that was behind her desk on the wall.
Lee Mingyun had no choice but to obey what the director ordered. Once she put the painting aside, she realized that there was a safe behind the painting, which surprised her.
The director carefully observed the blonde's expressions, she must have analyzed her well before deciding whether or not she was trustworthy, but when she saw that the young woman was only surprised and did not show a hint of malice, she let out a long sigh and then said — Open the box, I'll give you the password — he ordered again, the blonde just nodded — It's 0-8-1-8-1-0 —
The safe opened suddenly, Lee Mingyun took a few steps back to wait for new orders from the director.
The director gave her some extra points when she saw that the blonde didn't rush to see what was in the safe and asked — Tell me, what's in the box? —
Lee Mingyun hesitantly approaches the box to check what was inside, and what he saw turned the worst day of his life into the best.
Inside were six pistols, which counted as firearms, with this she would have already completed her first task.
System 0010980 scanned the firearms with its gaze and then said — Congratulations host, you have just completed your first task successfully, as a reward you have just acquired a space of fifty square meters —
Lee Mingyun, upon hearing that, almost wanted to jump for joy but he restrained himself knowing that that would be very insensitive of him when Xie Ju and his grandmother were having a terrible time, so he decided to continue searching for what else was in the box and what he found. It surprised her.
It was a photograph, of a woman and a child, but the truly shocking thing was the color of their eyes.
Her eyes were pink
