“Tang, Brother Tang, you didn’t do bad either.” The high school student reddened slightly upon receiving Tang Zheng’s praise, feeling a bit shy.
He had finally changed the way he addressed him and from the bottom of his heart, had begun to admire this man.
The decisiveness that Tang Zheng displayed was something he could never have.
He had only thought of using firearms, but Tang had the courage to engage in close combat with a knife.
This was all merely to save a complete stranger, a woman he hadn’t even spoken five full sentences with yet.
Looking back at how Tang Zheng had dismissed the mockery from these people with such broad tolerance, he suddenly felt that a real man should have this kind of breadth, and that being petty and calculating was really just childishness.
“The views and perspectives on things are just different.” Yang Bin sighed deeply.
Zhao Jingye and he had only been thinking about how to compete for the position of group leader, while Tang had already figured out how to safely lead everyone back, with all these firearms as the best evidence.
“What are you thinking about?” Li Xinlan’s attitude towards Yang Bin also improved a lot.
“Brother Tang, where did you get these guns?
Next time, I’ll go with you.” Yang Bin sniffed, dismissing the idea of opposition.
He just wanted everyone to cooperate and then to get back alive.
“You’re welcome to join.” Tang Zheng retrieved his Dog Leg Knife and MP5
then asked, “Should we call those guys back, or just wait for them to return on their own?”
“Who cares what they do?
They’re just a bunch of spineless ghosts.” Yang Bin curled his lip in disdain, then spat.
Those bastards led by Zhao Jingye and the Bald man, the high schooler wished he could point all ten middle fingers at them.
Bai Guo didn’t say a word, but she nodded vigorously.
Only after about half an hour did the bald man sneak over, opening a crack in the door and peeping inside the room.
“Stop looking.
If there were zombies, you’d be dead by now.” The high school student mocked him, then continued to play with the firearms as Lin Weiguo sat to one side, teaching them about the weapons.
“Haha, the weather is good today, the wind is quite cool.” The bald man laughed awkwardly a couple of times before pushing the door open and coming in.
The others hiding in the corridor saw this and knew they were safe, gaining the courage to enter as well.
“Seven zombies in total? frёeωebɳovel.com
They can climb walls like geckoes?” Xu Lu was just making conversation.
“Everyone, don’t just stand there; get back to what you were doing.”
After saying this, Xu Lu, Zeng Xue and Han Li gathered around Zhou Zhou, “We’re so glad you’re okay.
We were worried sick.”
“Yeah, zombies are too scary.”
“These damn high heels; they’re so hard to run in!”
Zhou Zhou didn’t respond; she simply glanced at them and continued to fiddle with her gun.
The three flight attendants didn’t find any humor in it and stopped talking to her; instead they turned their curious and disgusted gaze to the dead Mutant Hunter Zombie on the floor.
“Zhao Jingye, are you still planning on running for group leader?” Zhou Zhou suddenly spoke up as she noticed Zhao Jingye heading towards the bedroom.
Zhao Jingye didn’t say anything, his eyes wandering.
He knew that his image had suffered because of his running away earlier.
“I take back what I said before.
I won’t support Zhao Jingye.
Besides Tang Zheng, I won’t support anyone else.” Zhou Zhou’s words caused the atmosphere in the room to grow awkward.
“Haha, I also take back what I said earlier.
Captain Zhao, Bald man, if you’re still planning to run for Group Leader, I swear I’ll spit in your faces.” The high schooler was full of provocation, staring at the two men.
“And me, and me, I wholeheartedly support Tang Zheng.” Bai Guo also raised her hand quickly, making her position clear.
Pang Meiqin, Cheng Chen, Hu Qiong, exchanged a glance, and all raised their hands, their meaning clear.
“We all support Tang Zheng as the group leader.”
The maintenance worker also raised his hand.
Seeing the situation turning bad, Baldy hastily raised his hand in support, no longer daring to waste words.
Kang Songde saw that the game was already lost, and Zhao Jingye no longer stood a chance to become the group leader.
He subtly shook his head, then raised his hand, silently pondering that this boy Tang Zheng might not be easy to fool.
Zeng Xue and Han Li glanced at their good friend Xu Lu, unsure of what to do, they hesitated for a moment before semi-raising their hands.
Li Xinlan, Qin Yan, and Lin Weiguo raised their hands.
Therefore, Tang Zheng was elected as the group leader with absolute advantage.
“Zhou Zhou, are you mad?
You run slow, why blame others?
And you few idiots, to put it bluntly, Tang Zheng is also trying to save himself.
If necessary, he will definitely abandon you.” Xu Lu yelled out, completely disregarding Tang Zheng’s face.
After Xu Lu finished speaking, other than Zhao Jingye, everyone’s gaze first swept over Tang Zheng’s expressionless face, then landed on her.
Their disdainful and mocking looks were like looking at a mad dog biting people indiscriminately, even Zeng Xue and Han Li thought their friend’s words were too much.
“Maybe if I follow Tang Zheng I would be abandoned, but that’s my choice because he just saved my life.
Listen up, he risked his life wrestling with zombies to save a stranger like me, while Zhao Jingye had already abandoned me, his coworker, once.
Damn it, should I stupidly stick around just to be abandoned a second time?” Zhou Zhou didn’t give Zhao Jingye any face.
Having just escaped death’s door, she had nothing left to lose.
Zhao Jingye’s face turned dark, his lips moved but no words came out.
He knew he had lost his chance to be the group leader.
Apart from the fool Xu Lu, no one would choose him.
Seeing all the raised hands in the living room felt like a slap to his face; he wished he could dig a hole and bury himself in it.
“Fucking embarrassing.” At that moment, for the first time in his life, Zhao Jingye felt like a clown, a loser.
“We don’t have guns, how are we supposed to fight the zombies?
You guys are being too harsh on Captain Zhao.
If we had guns, we would have done better.” Kang Songde stood up and argued for Zhao Jingye.
“No one is at fault here.
It’s just that Tang Zheng adapted the best.
After this, we won’t fall short either.
Rest assured, we’ll all make it back alive.”
Zhao Jingye cast a grateful look at Kang Songde, seizing the opportunity to shift blame.
“I apologize, when I saw Baldy run first, I became confused.”
Hearing this, everyone’s gaze naturally fell onto Baldy, their disdain and resentment undeniable.
“Eh, how did the topic turn to me?” Baldy didn’t look pleased, but he lacked the confidence to argue since he was indeed the first one to run.
“I won’t wait around to be killed.”
“Idiot.” Hearing Baldy’s words, Zhao Jingye felt a sense of relief.
This fool drew the resentment away just in time so he could shift the target.
“Are we done?
I’m going to take a shower.” Tang Zheng didn’t offer any explanation.
He got up and, appearing nonchalant, stepped over the corpse of the Hunter Zombie and entered the bathroom.
Everyone watched his retreating figure in silence.
Even Zeng Xue and Han Li were feeling down.
They knew choosing Zhao Jingye was not a wise decision but they didn’t want to embarrass their friend Xu Lu either.
If they messed up relationships on both sides, wouldn’t they end up isolated?
At that moment, they deeply regretted not pinning their hopes on Tang Zheng like Li Xinlan did right from the start.
“This woman, so cunning.” Zeng Xue covertly glanced at Li Xinlan and began to think about how to survive and thrive.
“The key is Tang Zheng.
If Li Xinlan can do it, so can I.”
As clean water poured from the showerhead, Tang Zheng felt a chill and let out a small sigh of relief.
A rare smile graced his lips, a sigh of relief at the payoff for everything he had done since entering the Silver Trojan room.
Nothing was more convincing than the support and acknowledgement of the team members.
Only by consolidating their power could their chance of survival increase.
“I will survive and bring those who trust me all the way to the end.”
