Although the man and woman looked somewhat battered and pitiful, the three girls, including Yumi Tokisaki, did not ask Lu Wen for help.
After a morning of interaction and communication, the three girls knew that asking Lu Wen for help would come at a price.
Moreover, in this zombie apocalypse, everyone was looking out for themselves, and it was already good enough to be able to protect themselves. Who had the energy to help others?
But when Lu Wen and his group were about to leave, Toda Hirano suddenly became anxious.
Lu Wen and his group looked like powerful figures, and they could still maintain a calm demeanor and posture in this apocalyptic environment.
Toda Hirano had some military knowledge, though he didn't know how far the zombie crisis had spread.
But just in this school, with his and Saya Takagi's abilities, they couldn't survive.
"Takagi-san, let's quickly catch up with Tokisaki-senpai and the others," Toda Hirano said anxiously.
Saya Takagi came to her senses. She also remembered the stupid thing she had done before.
A scream had attracted a dozen zombies. If it hadn't been for Yumi Tokisaki and her group passing by, she and Toda Hirano might have died here.
But Saya Takagi was a pampered young lady, and she was also a talented girl. Her pride made it impossible for her to apologize.
But Lu Wen and his group had already gone far. Saya Takagi knew that to survive, she needed their help.
Just a short time ago, she had faced death. She didn't want to experience that despair again. Saya Takagi stumbled to her feet and chased after Lu Wen and his group.
Toda Hirano breathed a sigh of relief, holding his nail gun, and quickly followed.
At another staircase entrance, the original protagonist, Kouta Kousaka, and the female protagonist, Rei Miyamoto, heard the familiar screams and rushed over.
Then they saw Lu Wen and his group, who chopped up the zombies like vegetables and left.
"Kouta, should we follow them?" Rei Miyamoto asked.
She still felt safer in numbers when facing a horde of zombies.
Moreover, Lu Wen's group had powerful fighting abilities. It would be safer to act with them.
However, Kouta Kousaka hesitated for a moment: "Rei, let's follow them. There are too many monsters in the school. It's safer to leave with this group."
He was worried. He had just rekindled his feelings with his childhood sweetheart. Would there be problems if he joined Lu Wen's team?
But there were too many monsters in the school. This was the only option if they wanted to leave safely.
Lu Wen's group slashed through the zombies as they advanced, creating a considerable commotion. Many survivors peeked out to observe.
Some people felt it was better to stay in the school and wait for the rescue from the Japanese government.
But most people, upon seeing the power of Lu Wen's group, chose to follow behind, wanting to leave the school with them.
So, the number of people following behind Lu Wen and his group grew.
They successfully reached the staff room. Along the way, he had already collected over two hundred souls.
He still had enough materials from the last world to make over a hundred paper people. He would need to refine these Spirit Warriors once they settled down.
Even though these Spirit Warriors fought like beasts, they were perfect for dealing with hundreds of thousands of zombies.
However, the energy supply for so many Spirit Warriors was a problem. The generator he had just acquired felt like its 50-kilowatt efficiency was a little low again.
"But my body's capacity is limited. Absorbing too much electricity in a short period of time would damage my body. I can only control the number of Spirit Warriors," Lu Wen thought.
Shizuka Kiryuu quickly found what they were looking for: "Here's the school bus key. It's always refueled every day. We'll have enough to drive to the gas station."
Rika Nanri hesitated before saying: "Lu Wen-kun, what should we do with the students following us."
As a police officer, Rika Nanri had a strong sense of justice and mission.
But as someone who had signed a contract, she understood that only Lu Wen could make the decisions.
Lu Wen smiled and said: "I'm going to clear all the zombies in the school before we leave. When I'm done, it's up to them to decide whether to stay or leave."
"But they think the school is hell, and that escaping to the outside world is heaven. But actually, the outside is the real hell."
Rika Nanri quickly understood what he meant.
Japan's social order hadn't completely collapsed yet. The news on television was reporting it.
The zombie apocalypse had affected the entire planet. Many countries' order had already collapsed.
"Is it really an alien virus? This is completely unreasonable, indiscriminate infection," Shizuka Kiryuu sighed as she watched the news.
The armies and police of many countries had completely failed.
Because many of their comrades and colleagues had turned into zombies in an instant. There was no time to defend themselves before they were bitten.
The number of human beings on Earth was reduced by more than half in an instant.
The number of survivors continued to decrease.
Seeing the three girls were somewhat down after watching the news, Lu Wen said: "Let's go. Find a place to lure all the zombies in the school together. After we deal with them, we'll head to the gas station."
Yumi Tokisaki thought for a moment and said: "Between the teaching building and the playground, there's a passage formed by two buildings. We can use that as our battleground."
With the school bus key in hand, there was nothing important left in the staff room. Lu Wen said: "Let's go."
As they pushed open the door, a group of students were gathered outside. Saya Takagi was raising her hand to knock.
"Rika, you explain to them. We'll go check out the place Yumi chose," Lu Wen said.
He didn't want to waste his time with these people.
Lu Wen didn't want to bring too many people through for the time being. Otherwise, the daily food resources would be enough to make him worry.
Saya Takagi was a little puzzled. Where were the three people in full armor? Why were there only Lu Wen and his four companions?
She wanted to ask, but Lu Wen left directly. He let Rika Nanri tell these students about his plan to clear the zombies from the school.
Rika Nanri knew how to deal with this situation. She knew what was best.
With a stern face, she said coldly: "We will clear most of the zombies in the school. Then you can make your own choice. Stay in the school and wait for rescue, or actively go out and explore."
She finished with a single sentence and left swiftly.
If she had explained nicely to these students, she might have been harassed endlessly.
If she hadn't signed a contract with Lu Wen, Rika Nanri would have fulfilled her duty as a police officer.
But now, being able to follow Lu Wen and adventure through the multiverses, it was already a kindness on her part to explain to these students.
Rika Nanri quickly caught up with Lu Wen and his group, who hadn't gone far.
They arrived at the location Yumi Tokisaki had mentioned.
The zombie outbreak had happened at noon. On one side was the teaching building, where the crowds gathered. The other side was the playground, which had few people.
"Get ready. We'll fight here," Lu Wen decided.
