Chapter 22: Heavily Surrounded

The words had barely left his mouth before Qin Jia Gui angrily glanced over, he noticed that the student who spoke was a skinny person and recalled that he was a year two student by the name of Li Dong.

Li Dong’s voice was very soft but it made their hearts go into a turmoil.

Whether it be the group of the thousand over people within the school, they all had barely two days worth of food.Now that they only had one and a half day’s time, if they really did not manage to find anything, did they really have to go back without any gains?

There may be another better method, their group would take this food and ignore the lives and deaths of the thousand over people, in that way they would have over ten days to look for an exit. The meaning hidden in Li Dong’s words were clear to everyone.

Qin Jia Gui angrily shouted: “Li Dong! What is the meaning of your words, have you forgotten that there are still over a thousand people in the school? Everyone is pining for our return!”

Seeing Qin Jia Gui become angry, Li Dong seemed to shrink back as Zhou Hua Kang who was by his side retorted: “What Li Dong said isn’t wrong, under the current circumstances, everyone understands that in the limited time frame if we manage to find an exit or a rescue team everything would be fine. However, what if we don’t find anything? Just like what happened this morning, we only met with a few of those monster, then what? Go back? What use would going back do? Everyone simply starve together and wait for death?”

Hearing his words, Qin Jia Gui looked at him angrily before his anger slowly dissipated.

Seeing that no one else spoke, Zhou Hua Kang’s voice grew louder as he said in a heavy tone: “I believe that if we really do fall into such a predicament, we can only carry these food and carry on by ourselves. The school has over one thousand people….. It’s not that we don’t want to save them, but, everyone must think clearly, why should we save them? We ourselves might die at any moment, if we can’t even save ourselves, how do we even talk about saving others? Speaking about carrying all their hopes with us, that’s simply too ridiculous.”

The group fell into a grim mood. After hearing Zhou Hua Kang’s voice, Qin Jia Gui finally spoke up: “Su Yu, what do you think?”

Since the start, Su Yu’s display had awed the others, unconsciously, everyone had regarded him as the leader.

Su Yu tousled his hair as he gave a faint smile: “Right now? Isn’t there still time? At least we can wait till tomorrow night before deciding, it still won’t be too late.” In his heart he was thinking about Jade who was still within the school compound, he may not be that bothered about the others dying, but how could he not care about that little girl who was left in school? He decided to temporarily put off the matter as there was still over a day’s time.

Qin Jia Gui sighed: “That’s right, there’s still time. For now let’s just stick to our initial plan and try our luck. If we still don’t have any gains by tomorrow night, let’s carefully discuss what to do. What do you guys think?”

Zhang Zhong Mou had already filled his backpack with cigarettes, water as well as other food items. After closing the zipper, he added: “That is only natural, let’s just do it like that. Thinking about what will happen the day after tomorrow is simply fearing that the sky may fall at any time.”

Seeing that Su Yu and Qin Jia Gui had already made their decisions, the others did not have any objections as Ma Zi Ye spoke: “We are going to continue exploring, what do we do about all these food?”

Qin Jia Gui replied: “We’ll bring however much we can carry, it’ll probably be fine to leave the rest here. We’ve all seen that those monsters don’t seem interested in these food. We just need to remember the location of this place and in the event that we really don’t find anything, we can always come back here.”

The amount of food was substantial and it would be impossible for the group to bring everything at once. Hearing Qin Jia Gui’s words, the group nodded as they unzipped their bags and began stuffing it with food.
