Chapter 60 - An Unexpected News (2/2)

After a while, everyone sat around Shen Chen and Zhang Hongtao and asked happily, “Boss! Do you know where the nearest shelter for survivors is?”

Shen Chen smiled, pretending to think hard. “Where is the nearest shelter for survivors?”

“J Unversity!” Pan Di’s eyes showed dazzling excitement. He hugged Lin Qianqian and kissed her. “J Unversity! It’s near where we are now. And there aren’t that many zombies on the way! I think we can start tomorrow!”

“Yes, since the army and government have taken over everything, it means that things will get better,” Li Jing said. “We won’t be in constant fear anymore!” Li Jing was ecstatic at the thought of going to the shelter.

“In my opinion, we shouldn’t have come here in the first place,” Lin Qiangian said, her lips curling into a contemptuous smile, but everyone was too happy to dislike what she said. “We never should have left uni!”

People were excited talking about how their life would be after entering the shelter. They wondered whether they could still live in their dormitories or whether the military could help them find their families in the city.

Shen Chen looked at them and slightly squinted his eyes. He slowly stood up, then turned off the TV. “Rest early. Tomorrow we’ll continue to clean out the zombies on the tenth floor!”

The heated discussion stopped, and the room suddenly fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Shen Chen unblinkingly to see if he was joking with them, but Shen Chen’s serious look clearly told them that he wasn’t.

The atmosphere suddenly changed. People’s excitement dissipated, and they looked confused. What Shen Chen said was totally absurd to them.

Excitement disappeared from the three men’s eyes. Immediately, they thought about what Shen Chen said. The three men were not like the others. Although they were also confused, they understood that the only reason they were alive was because of Shen Chen, so they believed Shen Chen, and their friendship with him led them to give him their unconditional trust. Therefore, they didn’t say a word. They just stood up silently and nodded at Shen Chen.

Lin Qianqian hurriedly grabbed Pan Di. “Wait! Come here!” she said, then asked Shen Chen angrily, “What do you mean by cleaning out the zombies tomorrow?”

“I think I made myself clear, didn’t I?” Shen Chen said.

“Why kill the zombies?” Lin Qianqian asked again. “We should go to the shelter tomorrow!”

“Who said we were going to the shelter?” Shen Chen asked her.

The room fell dead silent again. Only people’s breathing could be heard. After a while, Li Jing stood up and broke the silence. “Shen Chen, what do you mean? Are you trying to imprison us here?”

Shen Chen smiled. Because of what he suffered on doomsday in his previous life, he never revealed his true self to outsiders, so he was always calm and cold. So, in the face of Li Jing’s provocation, he remained stoic. At this time, he suddenly thought of some “chicken soup for the soul” that he was told in his previous life, such as “people with dark minds think everything others do is malicious.” This was what he could use to describe Li Jing, but Shen Chen was obviously not a psychological counselor, and he had no responsibility to explain anything to Li Jing.

“If you want to leave, you can go at any time,” Shen Chen said coldly.

Li Jing calmed down a little. She wasn’t stupid. She was just a woman. If she left on her own, she would be killed by the zombies outside.

Li Jing’s face instantly turned red, and she gritted her teeth and didn’t say a word. Instead, she smashed all the dishes on the tea table to the ground and went back to her room in a rage.

But there were others who thought the same as her.
