Yaeka Tokisada, however, remained rather calm upon hearing this. She didn't feel embarrassed or shy, nor did she display any bloodthirsty fervor.
After Lu Wen suggested in the morning that she might have been influenced by the Tokisada-ryu swordsmanship she'd been practicing since childhood, Yaeka Tokisada had been adjusting her state.
Years of training were not in vain. Yaeka Tokisada was a standout among her peers in terms of both Japanese swordsmanship techniques and emotional control.
Lu Wen fixed the generator, starting it up and initiating a rapid charge.
Previously, it took an hour to fully charge, but now it only took about ten minutes.
The group then set off towards the staff room.
As the school building came into view, so did a hundred or so zombies.
Lu Wen shook the Emperor's Banner, summoning three Yin Spirit warriors: "With these three warriors as the vanguard, Yaeka, you'll cover the flanks. We need to find the school bus keys as quickly as possible."
He also took out the paper spears he had forged earlier and handed them to Shizuka Jukkawa and Rika Nari to use for self-defense.
These paper-based weapons, forged through the art of Paper Person sorcery, required periodic re-nourishment, otherwise, the magical energy within them would dissipate, leaving them as mere ordinary paper.
Now that Lu Wen had secured the generator, he no longer had to worry about energy issues.
He was adept at multitasking, controlling the Yin Spirit warriors to form a three-person team that advanced forward.
Despite their full-body armor, the Yin Spirit warriors landed lightly, giving off an eerie vibe.
Eerie was the right word.
After all, Soul-Nurturing Technique and Paper Person sorcery were both unorthodox arts. Could one expect such sorcery to appear stately and dignified when employed?
The Yin Spirit warriors may have appeared light and airy, but under Lu Wen's control, their strikes were precise and ruthless.
With Shizuka Jukkawa guiding the way this time, Lu Wen and his group moved quickly, the Yin Spirit warriors striking with precision, carving a bloody path through the zombie horde.
Yaeka Tokisada kept a watchful eye on the flanks, and when any zombies managed to slip through, she would step forward and accurately sever their neck bones with her wooden sword.
Lu Wen didn't forget to collect souls, continuously pouring energy into the Emperor's Banner.
Their unique team drew the attention of the survivors in the surrounding buildings.
In a classroom, a student with dyed blond hair, who was sitting by the window, fearfully watched the horde of zombies gathering in the square below.
Upon seeing Lu Wen and his group, especially the three figures clad in full-body armor, the blond student was puzzled and envious: "Are they members of the cosplay club? How did they get hold of a set of Shenzhou armor?"
"With that kind of armor, you can walk sideways through the zombie horde if you're careful."
But seeing Lu Wen leisurely walking among the three beautiful women, the blond student's jealousy surged.
He cautiously approached the teacher: "Teacher Fujii, there are people clearing zombies out in the square outside."
He spoke in a low voice. Zombies were prowling the corridor outside the classroom, so everyone dared not make too much noise.
Fujii Koichi's eyes lit up, and he cautiously approached the window.
The blood-soaked path on the ground was very noticeable, and then he saw the seven people moving quickly through the zombie horde.
"How come there's Shenzhou armor in school?" Fujii Koichi was also very puzzled but didn't think much of it.
Trapped in the school, he was just an ordinary teacher. But if he could escape from here, the power he wielded would allow him to become a person of great influence in this post-apocalyptic world.
Power is the recognition of others.
Like now, in this classroom, the other students regarded Fujii Koichi as their hope for survival in this post-apocalyptic world.
Fujii Koichi could mobilize dozens of people with a single command, gathering the collective will of others, representing the collective will.
Although they were just students, they were still a formidable force.
However, zombies were swarming outside. They lacked reason and sense, so the power of authority had no real effect on them.
"We have to find a way to get in touch with these people, let them know that we're still alive, and ask them to come rescue us," Fujii Koichi said.
The students in the classroom were now filled with fear. Don't even think about having them fight the zombies outside.
Fujii Koichi's words asking for help instantly calmed the students in the classroom.
After all, they didn't have to go out and deal with the zombies. All they needed to do was wait for rescue in this classroom.
Fujii Koichi could only watch helplessly as Lu Wen and his group hacked their way through the zombie horde and entered the school building, his envy and resentment reaching boiling point.
But he still managed to suppress his emotions and discuss with the students next to him how to contact Lu Wen and his group.
Inside the school building, the density of zombies increased dramatically.
However, the space here was narrow, and two Yin Spirit warriors could completely defend a single direction.
As they continued forward, Yaeka Tokisada breathed a sigh of relief. Once they entered the school building's corridor, her heavy panting never ceased.
Just now, when they had hacked their way through the zombie horde outside the school building, it had only taken a few minutes, and Yaeka Tokisada had only swung her sword two or three dozen times.
But she had been constantly vigilant of her surroundings, and every swing of her sword had accurately struck the zombie's neck bone. This had almost completely consumed her attention.
Her physical strength had been severely depleted in those few minutes, and she hadn't had a moment to catch her breath.
If it hadn't been for Lu Wen being by her side, Yaeka Tokisada would have definitely avoided direct combat with the zombies if at all possible, and opted to dodge instead, as this was the normal course of action.
"Ah! Don't come near me..." A scream rang out as soon as they entered the school building.
This was a common occurrence in the early stages of this zombie apocalypse.
"We're on our way, so let's go take a look," Lu Wen said.
As they moved forward along the corridor, quite a few zombies were also attracted by the screams.
"Those who scream in such situations are truly pig teammates. Faced with the fear of death, some people hold back their cries, remaining silent and looking for an opportunity, some face the challenge head-on, striving to survive, while others indulge themselves, hastening their own demise," Lu Wen said.
Yaeka Tokisada and the three women nodded in agreement.
Just imagine, such a teammate, in a critical moment, letting out a scream, instantly attracting more zombies and pushing them away from their chance of survival.
Even if they miraculously survived, they would want to cut this teammate into a thousand pieces and still not feel satisfied.
As they advanced forward a short distance, a dozen or so zombies converged.
The crisp sound of a stapler ringing out repeatedly, hitting one zombie after another. But it didn't cause any fatal damage.
The zombies swayed, but they wouldn't fall.
But these zombies in front served as a barrier.
Lu Wen controlled the Yin Spirit warriors as they passed by, easily dispatching the zombies in front with a few blows.
A rather obese male student and a petite, adorable girl appeared.
Lu Wen didn't stop but passed by them without a word.
Yaeka Tokisada and the others took a look at the petite girl.
Unexpectedly, despite her petite stature, she could let out such a loud scream. It seems that human potential is truly driven by necessity.
