Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space - Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Hidden Danger Chapter 44: Hidden Danger As the night deepened, Teacher Cao, his team, and the students finally finished filling all the empty bottles and containers they could find with rainwater.

Some were so thirsty and hungry that they drank the rainwater directly before refilling their bottles.

No one knew whether it was due to the low temperature or poor hygiene, but several people developed high fevers that night.

At first, no one noticed, as most were asleep.

But at dawn, when the sky brightened, one of the students finally realized that the person sleeping beside him was burning up.

Reaching out, he pushed his friend and said, “Hey, what’s wrong with you?” At his touch, his friend collapsed to the ground without waking up.  Startled by this, the student quickly checked on him and saw his flushed face, labored breathing, and sweat-drenched clothes.

He was clearly unconscious and his pale skin and chapped lips made his condition look even worse.

Realizing the severity of the situation, the student shouted, “Teacher Cao!

My friend has a high fever!

Please help him!” One of the patrolling men hurried over after hearing his words.

Upon seeing the student’s state, a flash of excitement crossed his eyes as he recalled what had happened to a team member before they awakened their abilities.

He quickly turned to the dividing screen and called out, “Brother Cao, someone is mutating!” Right now, their team desperately needs ability-users.

If some students managed to awaken abilities and joined them, it would significantly strengthen their group.

Hearing the commotion, Teacher Cao startled awake.

He glared at the man and scolded, “Why are you shouting?!

Do you want the zombies to hear us?!” Instead of looking guilty, the man grinned and said, “Brother Cao, this is good news!

One of the students is mutating!” Teacher Cao’s eyes lit up at his words and he quickly wore his shoes while saying, “Let’s check on him!” “Yes!” The two hurried over to the student with high fever and confirmed that he was indeed undergoing an awakening.

Since ability-users were rare, Teacher Cao placed great importance on them.  He waved his hand and ordered, “Give him more water and find a way to lower his temperature!” The student watching over his friend felt relieved.

He had feared that Teacher Cao wouldn’t care about their lives, but it turned out he still had a conscience after all!

“Thank you, Teacher Cao!” he said gratefully.

Soon, more students reported similar conditions among their friends.

Out of 67 students, 11 were undergoing the awakening process.

As for the rest, they experienced only fatigue and weakness, which they attributed to a lack of proper food.

Those in the midst of mutation were gathered in one area, with several students assigned to care for them.

They were given rainwater to drink, and their bodies were wiped down with it to lower their fevers.

Unbeknownst to them, the more they drank and touched the rainwater, the worse their conditions became.

Everyone believed their friends would awaken abilities and become important figures in Teacher Cao’s group.

Only a single female student and the male student beside her felt anxious.

Both noticed that the students had dark circles under their eyes and their eyes became red after drinking rainwater.

There are red lines in the white areas, as if I haven’t slept for several days.

Those who consume more rainwater even walk in weird ways.

Their movements seemed stiffer and slower than usual.

Sitting in the corner, the female student whispered, “We need to leave this place as soon as possible.” The male student nodded and replied, “They are distracted right now.

We can slip out through the back door.” Hearing this, the female student stood up and carefully moved toward the back.

Since Teacher Cao and his team were focused on the students’ conditions, no one noticed as the two quietly slipped away.

Once outside the lecture hall, the male student supported her as they walked and asked, “My name is Gu Shaoze.

What’s yours?” The female student glanced at him and replied, “Rong Mo’er.” Gu Shaoze nodded and suggested, “Rong Mo’er, let’s team up to survive.” Shaking her head, Rong Mo’er said, “I need to go back to my town and find my parents.

I can’t go with you.” “That’s fine.

I will go with you.

I have nowhere else to go anyway,” Gu Shaoze said with a small smile.

Looking at his smiling face, Rong Mo’er sighed and said, “Suit yourself.” Gu Shaoze looked at the pouring rain and asked, “It’s still raining and we can’t leave the building.

Where should we go now?” “We should head to the ground floor and hide there.

Once the rain stops, it will be easier to leave,” Rong Mo’er replied after some thought.

Thinking for a moment, Gu Shaoze said, “Then let’s go to the guard room.” “Okay.” After they had a plan, the two made their way downstairs, reaching the guard room half an hour later.

Once inside, they locked the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

Noticing that Rong Mo’er was barefoot, Gu Shaoze rummaged through the locker room and returned with a set of clothes and a pair of sneakers.

He handed them to her while saying, “They might be too big, but they are better than nothing.” Rong Mo’er accepted them and said, “Thank you.” “No problem.

You can change in the locker room,” Gu Shaoze said, feeling awkward.

Rong Mo’er noticed his expression but said nothing.

She went inside, removed her torn clothes, and used them to wipe herself clean.

As she did, the hatred in her heart made her eyes burn red.

At that moment, a dark thought crossed her mind.

‘If only I could burn those bastards to death, how good it would be.

They don’t even deserve an intact corpse!’ As soon as the thought formed, fire suddenly engulfed her hands.

Shocked by the sudden fire, she let out a panicked cry, “Ah!” Hearing her cry, Gu Shaoze rushed in and froze at the sight before him.
