“What do you think they wanted to talk about?”
“I don’t know, but I don’t think it will be good.”
“Don’t tell me that they expect us to face the zombies?”
“I don’t want to see those monsters ever again. I almost died last time.”
“…”
Many students were whispering and discussing in low voices. However, they still gathered following Chris’ order. Although it was an apocalypse, the identity of a lecturer was still of great use to many students.
Furthermore, Alice and Chris were both adults. They had more experience than these students. In addition, Chris was very kind and had little prestige when he was lecturing in the university.
However, Alice had more prestige because she was cold and serious in the university. She was also very strict with the students and had a dignified image in the eyes of the students.
During the outbreak of the apocalypse, it was Alice, Chris, and the others who arranged matters and made decisions. They gathered everyone and worked together to survive. They were even able to live comfortably on the third floor of the cafeteria.
In a short while, all the students and a chef from another place had gathered at Alice’s place. Even if they hadn’t heard clearly what Chris had said earlier, they still got the message.
“Mr. Chris, why did you gather us here?”
“Yeah, I’m still reading a novel on my phone.”
“…”
The silver-hair girl stood alone at the edge of the crowd. The tall and burly boy was also at the edge of the crowd. He crossed his arms and didn’t say a word, and waited for what the lecturers were going to do next.
“Everyone, quiet,” Alice said at this moment.
Instantly, the voices in the crowd quieted down. However, Andy, Brown, and the other delinquents didn’t stop immediately.
“Miss Alice, why are you being so serious. There are a lot of zombies downstairs, and we’re very scared,” Andy said in a frivolous tone.
If he was still in the university, he might have respected Alice a little. After all, he was a student. However, the situation was different now. He still had other thoughts in his mind, but he had yet to take any further action.
“Miss Alice, if you have anything to say, just say it. Our time is very precious,” Brown said casually with one arm around Manny.
“You are so rude. Is that how I taught you to behave?” Miss Alice scolded them sternly. These students were usually rowdy, but they were not as unbridled as they were now.
“TSK.” Andy pursed his lips.
A few students glared at them. The delinquents were still a minority among the other survivors. Most of the students were still on the lecturer’s side. After all, they were still alive thanks to Miss Alice’s help Even though they were delinquents, they were not stupid. This was also one of the reasons why Andy and the others didn’t do anything to Alice. The other reason was that Alice had learned taekwondo, judo, and other fighting techniques. Ordinary men weren’t Alice’s match. When the zombies attacked, Alice had knocked down several zombies. Of course, she didn’t manage to kill them. The other two students, who weren’t behaving, stopped and kept quiet as soon they saw that the delinquents had quieted down.
“Alright, everyone is wondering why are you all gathered here. Before I continue, does anyone have any brilliant idea to contribute?”
Alice looked at the students, glanced at each of their faces, and then said slowly. Chris stood a few steps behind her. On the other side were Wendy and another female chef who was about 50 years old.
“Everything is good now. There are foods and drinks.”
“Yes, there’s still a place to charge our gadgets, and there’s also internet access.”
“…”
Having heard them, Alice sighed quietly in her heart. Under such a comfortable atmosphere, these students have grown complacent. However, they were far from a safe haven. They are in the midst of an apocalypse, and the zombies were just one floor away from them.
“Miss Alice, could it be that we are running out of food?” A voice emerged from the crowd.
“How is that possible? We had food every day. There must be a lot of food left. Don’t be nonsensical.”
“That’s right. It’s only been a short while. How can there be no food?”
“I’m warning you, don’t be an alarmist!”
The student was denounced by the people next to him. However, a voice interrupted their agitation.
“That student is right,” Alice spoke up and interrupted the growing chaos.
Immediately, the scene turned silent. After a few seconds, everyone reacted.
“Miss Alice, you’re joking, right? Miss Alice made a joke with us, hahaha…”
“Miss Alice, don’t scare us. You’re joking, right?”
A few students didn’t want to believe it, so they said it reluctantly. The silver-haired girl, Beatrice, nodded slightly in her heart. She wasn’t surprised at all. When Miss Alice gathered the students, she had roughly guessed the purpose.
“No, I’m not joking. It’s true.” Alice said with a calm tone.
“How, how could it be?”
“I don’t believe it!”
“If there’s no food, won’t we starve to death?”
“Students, calm down everyone!” Chris stood up to maintain the students.
“Don’t forget what we’ve experienced. Don’t forget the situation we’re in now!
It’s a zombie outbreak, and we’re already in the apocalypse. It’s not the time to let your little tempers run wild! You’re all university students. Stop acting like a spoiled brat as if nothing concerns you!”
Alice’s tone was cold and serious. The students’ fear and unease gradually improved.
Someone asked Alice, “Lecturer, what should we do in the future?”
A few others echoed.
This is why you are here. We need to talk about plans for the future.” Alice felt a slight satisfaction. The students’ literacy and standards were uneven, but there were still some who could understand the situation. She paused for a few seconds to get everyone’s attention, and let the anxiety die down before she continued.
“Without food, we naturally need to look for food. In other words, we need to open the electronic door and go to the second floor’s cold storage room to obtain the ingredients.”
As the words left her mouth, it immediately caused an uproar among the students..
