"Student Ren, you shouldn't say that. Gu Yao has made great progress, can't you encourage her?" Guo Rongrong couldn't stand it anymore. She believed that regardless of the nature of the evolved abilities, they were all enviable, and it was inappropriate to belittle others. Gu Yao seemed genuinely affected.
"I want her to face reality so she doesn't mistakenly believe she has an advantage when danger arises." Ren Yulan retorted, rolling her eyes while smiling.
To reach the roof on the seventh floor, they had to go around a corner. As the group was conversing, they failed to notice a figure rolling down the stairs from behind the corner.
The figure wasn't using its feet to descend the stairs; it was climbing down with both hands and feet...
"I actually think water magic could be quite powerful, and I really like it." Gu Yao still pretended to be calm despite being hurt.
"Hahaha! Water magic? Do you really think you're a little magical fairy?" Ren Yulan sneered without restraint.
"Teacher Guo, let's head downstairs first. I want to help..." Gu Yao began saying but was interrupted when she saw the figure behind Ren Yulan and He Ruorui. Her eyes widened—it was clearly a zombie!
Simultaneously, Guo Rongrong also noticed the zombies behind the two and urgently shouted, "There are zombies! Run, you two!"
Roar!
The zombie seemed to understand human words and let out a roar.
Ren Yulan and He Ruorui didn't dare to look back. Screaming, they ran forward, clutching their heads.
The zombie chased after them. Guo Rongrong grabbed Gu Yao's hand and rushed toward the dormitory. In that moment, she realized something. Li Yanqi and Fu Ying were right. If they didn't practice killing zombies, they would only end up running away and being devoured.
Roar!
The female zombie jumped from behind the group and landed on the ground, successfully grabbing Ren Yulan's ankle.
"Help!" Ren Yulan struggled to crawl forward, kicking the zombie with her other foot. Meanwhile, He Ruorui had already reached a nearby dormitory and heavily locked the door.
Ren Yulan felt a sense of despair, but then she saw Gu Yao rushing over with a mop from somewhere. Desperately, Gu Yao swung the mop at the zombie's head.
"We have so many people here, we should be able to defeat this zombie. Keep trying!" Gu Yao shouted. Guo Rongrong also turned back, grabbing a table leg like Li Yanqi and striking the zombie's head.
Boom!
After a moment, the zombie's roar didn't cease. It was evident that Guo Rongrong's strength was limited. Seeing that it was about to bite Ren Yulan's foot, Gu Yao forcefully shoved the entire mop into the zombie's mouth.
When Li Yanqi and Fu Ying arrived, they saw Gu Yao pushing the zombie against the wall with a long mop, fighting desperately.
Boom!
After a dull thud against the wall, the zombie finally stopped moving, and Gu Yao had effectively smashed the back of its head.
Applause filled the air. "Little Gu Yao did quite well. Look at how admirably she fought." Fu Ying clapped.
At that moment, Gu Yao hadn't let go. Though her hands were shaking, she didn't dare to relax just yet.
"Okay, Gu Yao, it's already dead." Li Yanqi approached Gu Yao, who was still in combat mode, and reassured her.
The zombie, whose entire head had been smashed, slowly slid off the wall. Simultaneously, a shiny, colorless gem-like object fell to the ground.
"Yanqian, Yanqian, you're back. Did... did I kill it?" Gu Yao stammered.
