Since they were all from the same school and had been together for a few days, Fu Ying considered whether the other two dorms should accompany them when they leave.
"Whether they choose to follow us or not is up to them. I don't think they'll want to join us. They might think we're crazy." Fu Ying thought aloud, considering the timid nature of He Ruorui. Ren Yulan didn't even say goodbye, so Fu Ying doubted they would choose to come along.
"That's true." Guo Rongrong replied while wiping the water droplets from her hair. As she was about to use the hairdryer, the power went out.
The world plunged into darkness, surprising everyone except for Li Yanqian.
"Oh no, a power outage." Gu Yao exclaimed, looking out of the window.
At night, many dormitories in the school would still have lights on, but now they were all dark. Only vague shadows remained below. Gu Yao suddenly felt a sense of abandonment.
"We won't be able to find any more news here." Guo Rongrong said, her mood becoming complicated. She had been reluctant to leave before, but now it seemed they were being forced out.
"Let's get some rest. We'll have tasks tomorrow." Li Yanqi calmly suggested. She knew that a power outage would occur in about two days, and the signal would be interrupted as well.
After chatting for a while, they went to bed. Li Yanqian noticed that the two girls from the other dormitory had briefly visited the boys' dormitory but left soon after.
Gradually, Li Yanqi, feeling drowsy, closed her eyes. Even in this world, sleepiness felt real.
The next morning, the three who had fully recovered their abilities woke up early, had breakfast, and planned to use their powers to kill the zombies in front of the building.
Zheng Yu also woke up, and aside from Zhang Tao who was still asleep, Chen Ming and Zhou Kairui also planned to join the residents of the 719 dormitory in practicing zombie killing.
"Are you leaving?" Chen Ming asked in surprise, realizing their plan to clear the zombies in front of the building and find a car.
"Yes, the food here is running out, and we think the situation outside will only get worse." Li Yanqi replied, realizing that the elevator was no longer functional. They would have to find a way down from the fifth-floor fault.
Seeing the serious fault, Guo Rongrong hesitated. Jumping down like that might not be suitable for her.
"I think I can handle it." Zheng Yu said quietly.
He touched the gravel on the ground, and the rocks began to sway. The swaying rocks then formed new, steeper stairs in place of the fault.
"Wow, is this the rock system's legendary special ability? It feels so secure! Buddy, you're amazing!" Zhou Kairui exclaimed, filled with envy.
"It seems so. Let's go." Zheng Yu said, feeling a slight sense of excitement. He had heard about the supernatural powers from Chen Ming and the others, but he never expected to awaken the rock system ability himself. It felt... pretty good.
With the participation of the three boys, they spent the entire morning using their abilities and engaging in melee combat to clear out all the zombies in the open space in front of the building. Although some zombies still roamed sporadically, Li Yanqi felt it was the right time.
The car wasn't far from their dormitory building.
"Fu Ying and I are going out. Gu Yao and Teacher Guo will stay here and wait for the door to open." Li Yanqi announced.
"Where do you plan to go? The streets are filled with zombies, and it's very dangerous." Chen Ming tried to persuade them. The previous experience of running back to the school taught him that even the school itself was dangerous, let alone the road outside.
"I'm not sure yet. I plan to go to my family first." Li Yanqi replied, deciding not to reveal anything about Taoli.
There was one person among them who was her target...
