The Killing

From the hotel to the College of Economics and Finance was still quite a distance, and the journey would not be too peaceful.

First there were the zombies.

In his previous life, the zombies had suddenly appeared after 12 o'clock, which meant that there was a 50 minute window for Xiao Jun to take action.

That time would definitely be enough to get to the location of the airdrop, but dealing with the horde of zombies for the rest of the night would be a big headache.

Fortunately, the current zombies were still quite weak. A normal person, armed with a weapon and without fear, could still easily take down a zombie.

Not like in his previous life, after six years had passed, the zombies had become so powerful they were unrecognizable, and even more terrifying monsters had appeared.

But the danger was still not small. Xiao Jun was not very familiar with the situation at the College of Economics and Finance. He only knew that the airdrop would appear at the college gymnasium.

Seeking riches in danger, if he couldn't seize this opportunity, relying only on the food he had collected, he would just be able to live more extravagantly in the early period.

Xiao Jun thought it through very clearly. Since this was another chance at life, he of course had to fight for it.

He took two flashlights, a cleaver and a boning knife, then brought two large bottles of water, a box of chocolate, and two self-heating rice packs.

He put all these things in a small bag, otherwise it would be inconvenient to move around.

Everything was ready, he just had to wait for the rain to stop.

At 11:11 pm, the red rain stopped right on time, as if everything had returned to its original state. This was the first time in six days that Xiao Jun had opened his door.

There weren't many corpses in the hallway, it wasn't covered with bodies like he had imagined. There were obvious drag marks in many places, it seemed many people still weren't used to being with corpses.

Xiao Jun didn't have time to deal with these corpses. Right now he had to hurry to the College of Economics and Finance.

He had barely taken a few steps when a naked woman suddenly opened her eyes.

"Water, I want water."

This woman seemed to have seen a lifeline. She didn't know where she got the strength, but she suddenly pounced at Xiao Jun's legs.

"Save me, I'll give you anything you want."

Although she had been hungry for many days, and lacked water, it was still obvious this woman was a beauty. After all, it was normal for a beauty to be staying at this high-end hotel.

Xiao Jun wrinkled his brow, and strode over her.

"Please, save me."

Seeing Xiao Jun about to leave, the woman desperately grabbed his pants leg.

"Bang!"

Without any pity, he viciously kicked the already extremely weak woman into the corner. Xiao Jun didn't look back, and swiftly headed downstairs.

The process of going downstairs was smooth. Although each floor had many corpses, they had no impact on Xiao Jun. No matter how horrific the situation, he had seen worse.

Because it was still early, even if there were survivors, they wouldn't have noticed the red rain stopping so quickly. The empty streets only had scattered corpses, swollen from being soaked in water for so long.

Xiao Jun nimbly navigated the familiar streets, quickly heading in the direction of the College of Economics and Finance.

Although it was said to be not far, walking it took at least half an hour.

As time passed, more and more survivors discovered the outside situation, and many people had run out from their refuge points.

The first thing all the people coming out did was run to nearby supermarkets and shops. Six days was neither long nor short, but enough for someone to starve and lose their will.

From time to time there were people fighting violently over food, but Xiao Jun had nothing to do with them. He only wanted to get to the College of Economics as fast as possible, then find a suitable hiding place.

But while he didn't provoke others, others didn't let him off.

Two tattooed men blocked Xiao Jun's way.

"Little brother, I see you look like you must have a lot of food." The man with a tattoo on his left arm said.

Most of the people who appeared were haggard and starving, obviously having gone hungry for many days. There were also some who had more food stored at home, but now they were also hurriedly searching for food. Only Xiao Jun seemed uninterested in food.

Moreover, he had a bag on his back.

The shops had all been flooded, and much of the food was inedible. Only some sealed snacks could still be eaten.

But food was scarce and people were many, so rather than fight over it, it was better to rob Xiao Jun.

"Piss off!"

Xiao Jun definitely didn't have a good expression towards those trying to steal his things.

[Damn, this brat doesn't know what's good for him. There's two of us and only one of him, but he has a knife. ]

[I'll pretend to let him pass first, then ambush him. This brat's bag must have lots of food.]

The man who had spoken rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.

"Don't be so hot-tempered, little brother. The disaster has passed now, and the government will come to our aid soon. There will be more than enough food then."

Xiao Jun just sneered coldly, and didn't say anything.

"Forget it, since little brother is unwilling, my brother and I will go look for food ourselves. We won't disturb you."

Saying so, he signalled with his eyes to the man beside him. The two tacitly moved to the left and right, seeming to make way for Xiao Jun.

With each step Xiao Jun took closer, the two men grew more nervous.

Usually they were just small-time crooks, no strangers to robbing people. But this time the situation was different, their opponent had a knife, while they were nearly starving.

[Just a bit more... come on, faster!]

Xiao Jun had walked in front of them. Both men were tightly clenching their fists, ready to act as soon as Xiao Jun passed them.

But what came was not Xiao Jun, but his knife.

As expected of a knife specially used for carving bones, it was very sharp.

Caught off guard, the man on the left had half his head sliced off directly.

Before the crook on the right could even react, Xiao Jun swung his right hand again, chopping heavily into his chest.

The two men just stiffly fell down without even a groan.

Some people who had been watching the commotion seeking food had scattered and run while yelling "He's killing people!"

Xiao Jun wiped off the blood that had splashed on his face, gripped his knife, and continued on his way. Now no one dared to try blocking him.

Delayed by those two men, the half hour journey originally would have easily reached his destination, but now he had only just caught sight of the gates to the College of Economics and Finance.

So much time had passed since the red rain stopped, most survivors had already gone out, starting to scavenge for food everywhere.

And at universities, there were many snack shops and restaurants, as well as cafeterias which were their first choice.

Xiao Jun casually stopped a student and raised his bloody knife. His target obediently told him the location of the gymnasium.

Comparatively speaking, the area around the gym was strangely quiet, no students had come this way. He didn't know how the airdrop in his previous life had been discovered.

11:51 pm, Xiao Jun arrived at his destination, the entrance to the gym.

The zombies would arrive on the battlefield in 9 minutes.
