An Nuan was transferred to the news channel, and the host of the late-night news break was excitedly broadcasting.
"Fellow citizens, the meteorological bureau has monitored that the heavy rain is about to stop. Experts once again call on everyone to orderly purchase daily necessities, and not to fall into panic and chaos. Let us together..."
*Snap!*
The screen immediately switched to inside the old villa.
At this time, the atmosphere in the villa was extremely oppressive. Lawyer Qian stood at the entrance of the fifth-floor staircase, with a few people standing on the steps below him, and the rest standing on the fourth floor, their calves submerged in water.
The property manager's head had already festered. He was not dead yet, and stood in the water on the fourth floor with a ferocious expression.
They had formed two factions.
Luoluo counted, "That's not right! It seems a few people are missing. Where is Old Qian's girlfriend?"
An Nuan drew a circle on the screen with a laser pointer.
At the turn of the stairs, there was half a head, and in the water, half a severed limb floated.
"An Nuan's little class is starting. Twelve people, when you don't know what the future holds, and don't have enough food, what will you do? Classmate Luoluo, answer!"
"You... you eat... companions?"
Luoluo's stomach churned, and she covered her mouth, wanting to vomit.
An Nuan calmly took out a handmade red flower and stuck it on Luoluo's collar.
"In the apocalypse, people eating people is very common, especially for infected individuals. They look no different from humans on the outside, but they are fiercer and more brutal. In situations where infected individuals are present, cannibalism will occur in ninety percent of cases."
"Xiao Nuan, you mean there are infected people inside?"
"At least two."
Luoluo looked for a long time but couldn't figure out which one was infected.
However, the property manager's appearance was truly terrifying.
Luoluo raised her hand decisively, "The property manager is infected!"
"One correct answer, and what else?"
"And... I don't see the black spots you mentioned."
"Some infected individuals cut off that patch of skin to hide the truth of their infection."
Luoluo's face was filled with horror.
It hurt her for a long time when she cut her hand while chopping vegetables. She couldn't imagine what it felt like to cut off a piece of skin.
An Nuan had seen too many such people.
They didn't want to die, and they didn't want to be abandoned by humanity, so they would rather be a rotten apple that destroys the barrel, harming their comrades and loved ones, than to stand up and be executed.
An Nuan hated these rotten apples the most.
She killed one she saw!
"I'll see who dares to come up!"
Lawyer Qian suddenly roared, and An Nuan and Luoluo were drawn by the sound.
In just this moment, Old Qian had already stabbed someone, and some people screamed.
"Murderer! You killed my son, and I will definitely bring you to justice!"
"I will also call the police! The rain is stopping, and the police will be able to come out soon. I'm going to sue you for murder."
"Bring me to justice? When we were eating meat, you all had a share. Now killing becomes my sole responsibility? Let me tell you, no way!"
"Who ate? I didn't eat anything. I only saw you eating alone!"
"Bastard, are you trying to betray us?"
Old Qian kicked a companion on the steps away, and everyone slowly turned their knives towards Old Qian.
The property manager suddenly let out a tragic roar, ripped off the bandages on his face, and charged at the people around him.
The man closest to him had his arm bitten.
The man yelled, "Idiot, what are you doing! Let go!"
"Oh my god, he bit off Xiao Yu's arm!"
"He's eating, he's eating raw meat!"
Everyone rushed in terror towards the fifth floor. Some people tripped in the water, while others were kicked back to the fourth floor by people fleeing from above.
The stairs were so narrow that it was impossible for everyone to pass at once. In the panic, two or three people fell into the water.
Before they could recover, the property manager pounced on them with a roar, his breath so foul it blew their heads off.
Luoluo, terrified, hugged her two cats, covering her face with her hands, unable to watch.
An Nuan pried her hands open and forced Luoluo's eyes open.
"I know this is cruel, but for us to survive, you must force yourself to adapt quickly. Luoluo, you must watch!"
Blood and gore splattered on the screen, more disgusting than any horror movie she had ever seen.
In less than twenty minutes, only the property manager, Lawyer Qian, and his lackey remained in the villa.
As the lackey was fighting with his legs, Lawyer Qian suddenly rushed from behind and bit his neck.
The lackey twitched a few times, his body going limp...
"Xiao Nuan, Old Qian is the second zombie!"
Old Qian and the property manager stared at each other with a breath, but did not attack.
As they brushed past each other, their eyes met, with an indescribable feeling.
Luoluo laughed, "What's going on?"
"Humans attack their own kind, but zombies don't, unless..."
The dead lackey suddenly jumped up from the ground, on all fours, his head rotating 180 degrees, and he charged rapidly towards Old Qian.
The two zombies wrestled, and Old Qian's attack power was still superior.
In a short while, he tore the subordinate apart.
An Nuan ate her cheesy mashed potatoes with beef, thinking if Old Qian's mouth tasted the same as hers now.
Do zombies have taste?
She was quite curious!
An Nuan drank a small beer and explained.
"Although zombies have lost their reason, they were transformed from humans. They still have love and hate. Those they held a grudge against before they died will be particularly persistent towards their enemies after death."
"Their eyesight is not very good, they rely mostly on hearing and smell, generally inferior to dogs."
"And their social hierarchy is such that the weak submit to the strong."
Luoluo nodded.
The knowledge was simple and easy to understand, even easier than the multiplication table.
But the reality was hard to digest.
The slaughter in the villa lasted for an hour, precisely until one o'clock in the morning.
The screen was divided into several areas, and in each area, zombies were attacking people.
There were apartments, hospitals, and schools.
A line of text suddenly appeared on the screen.
[Collect 100 crystals as tuition fees]
"Holy crap, are you crazy!"
[Complete within 10 days]
"Damn it! Without you, I can still teach Luoluo. There's no need for you to butt in."
The text on the television flickered a few times, and then another line appeared.
[If you fail to collect the crystals within 10 days, I will expose your base and your supplies.]
Following that, a large list scrolled across the screen.
An Nuan's expression grew darker and darker.
Damn it, this was her procurement list!
Who on earth had investigated her so thoroughly?
[Reminder, first stop, Xituya No. 1 High School. Wishing you a bountiful harvest.]
After the text finished scrolling, control of the screen was released.
The television was filled with various news reports about the rain stopping.
Luoluo couldn't track the other party this time either. She apologized dejectedly, "Xiao Nuan, I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault, the other party is a master."
"Xiao Nuan, are crystals very powerful things? Why do you seem so afraid?"
"Not only are they powerful, they are deadly!"
An Nuan brought over two bottles of ice-cold beer, and An Nuan's little class began again.
