Zongman: The End of the Universe

Chapter 9 9. Faculty Office

1% of the "Source of the World"

The rate of change in life trajectory exceeds 100%
Although Ishii Kazu seems a bit cheap, there is no doubt that as the second person whose trajectory change rate exceeds 100%, Ishii Kazu is of great reference value to Liu Yuansheng.

Because even for Shizuka Marikawa, the trajectory change rate only reached 80% after two years of hard work by Yuansheng Liu, and then the progress bar seemed to be stuck and did not move at all.

How long had Ishii Kazusai known him? An hour? The trajectory change rate actually reached 100%!

A hint of thought flashed across Liu Yuansheng's eyes, and he couldn't help but recall the whole process from "contact with Ishii and Kazu" to "Ishii and Kazu's trajectory change rate exceeded 100%."

The only variable in this process is yourself...

What would happen if I wasn't there?

For some reason, Liu Yuansheng thought of this.

So...will Ishii Kazu die?
Died to protect Shizuka Marikawa.

Thinking about it this way, the logic quickly became clear, and Liu Yuansheng's eyes flashed with understanding. With this explanation, the rest made sense.

"Ishii and kneeling" means that he made up his mind to follow me, and by following me, he finally survived...

And Marikawa Shizuka...

It didn’t reach 100%, is it because I still didn’t change her final outcome?
Thinking of this, Liu Yuansheng frowned slightly. Unfortunately, all this was just speculation, and he didn't know where the world was going...

For now we can only take one step at a time.

Liu Yuansheng squatted down and patted Ishii Kazu's shoulder:

"Okay, stand up. What's the point of kneeling? It's time to go to the staff office."

Ishiiwa wiped his tears and raised his head, looking at Liu Yuansheng and nodded heavily:

"Yes! Brother Liu Yuan!"

"ah----!!!"

Suddenly, a loud and shrill scream sounded from the third floor of the technical college building not far away.

The decibels were so high that even the zombies at the bottom of the teaching building paused. Then hundreds of zombies looked in the direction of the third floor of the technical school building at the same time, and then "spread" over step by step as stiffly as puppets.

Liu Yuansheng's pupils shrank and his expression suddenly changed.

He could never have imagined that after the zombie outbreak lasted for more than an hour, there were still people screaming desperately in the teaching building! Don’t they know that this will attract zombies? ! Not only did they commit suicide, but the location was also right on the floor of the teacher’s office!
With his eyes flickering, Liu Yuansheng stared at the third floor of the technical college building opposite and whispered:

"Saeko, wait here. I'll go get the key."

"No! Gensei! All the dead bodies will be flocking there now. I'll go with you!"

Busujima Saeko walked up to Liu Yuansheng without thinking and grabbed his sleeve.

"That's right! Gen-kun! It's too dangerous for you to be alone!"

Shizuka Marikawa clenched her fists anxiously, pursed her lips and looked at Yuansheng Liu pleadingly.

Ishii was also getting anxious in his heart, but the next second he gritted his teeth and stood directly in front of the two women. Although his face was still a little scared, his eyes were also firm:

“Brother Liu Yuan! I’ll go with you! Although I don’t have much combat ability, I can at least help you hold off the zombies for a while. If I…”

"Shut up, everyone!"

With a roar, everyone's voices paused. Liu Yuansheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath. His face suddenly regained its composure. He glanced at Marikawa Shizuka's worried look, patted Ishii Kazu's shoulder, and finally looked at Busujima Saeko:

"Saeko, be obedient."

Busujima Saeko pursed her lips tightly, then suddenly lowered her eyes, and the veins on her five fingers that were grabbing Liu Yuansheng's sleeves were exposed.

"Didn't you say that to be a good woman, you can't stop a man who has made up his mind?"

"..."

Busujima Saeko just lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"Don't trust me anymore?"

Liu Yuansheng lifted Saeko's round and pointed chin with his index finger and looked deeply into her blue eyes.

At this moment, those eyes were like a pool of autumn water, covered with a layer of mist, and seemed to be about to cry, making people feel pity for them.

"say."

With Liu Yuansheng's face reflected in her eyes, Busujima Saeko opened her cherry lips helplessly, and finally slowly let go of her hand.

"I'm leaving."

Liu Yuansheng smiled and without any hesitation, turned around and ran straight to the third floor of the technical college building.

----------

On the third floor of the technical college building, in front of the faculty office.

A short and fat otaku wearing glasses was holding a pneumatic nail gun in a standard half-squatting horse stance, shooting at the dead bodies that kept walking out of the corridor.

What was somewhat amazing was that the glasses otaku's shooting was extremely accurate. Almost all of his dozens of nails hit the dead bodies' heads without exception. The powerful power of the nail gun almost killed one dead body with one shot. However, as time went by, the otaku's face was no longer as calm as at the beginning, and a hint of anxiety gradually appeared:
"Takagi! Please join us in the fight! The magazine is running out of bullets!"

As soon as the words fell, Takagi Saya, who had been standing behind Hirano Toda, suddenly became unhappy. It was me who brought you to the craft room to get the nail gun, but you didn't protect me and asked me to do the work? Don't you have any self-awareness?

"Whose fault is this?! Why were they shooting when they should have just observed the zombies' weaknesses?!"

Gao Cheng Saya was full of indignation, glared and scolded:
"Besides, why should I fight with you? I'm a genius! Can't I just load the magazine without it?! Are you an idiot?!"

Ask her to kill zombies? She won't do such disgusting things! If her body is stained with zombies' blood, it will be too uncomfortable to be sticky!

Hirano Toda shrank his head when he was scolded, and the fierce momentum of holding the gun disappeared instantly. Like a bullied young wife, he lowered his eyes and said timidly:
"Can…"

He had to shoot at the beginning. In order to observe the corpse, Saya Takagi was too close, and the corpse had already discovered her. The situation was very dangerous at the time. For Takagi's safety, he had no choice but to shoot.

At the moment, Hirano Toda wanted to save some ammunition. As the only long-range attack method at present, the nail gun had extremely limited bullets. They searched the entire craft room before finding three horse nail magazines. One of them had been used up in just a short while. If this continued, how could they fight?
He is not good at sports and can only fight and rob. Saya Takagi is a young lady, and if the nail gun runs out of bullets, everyone will die.

Hirano Toda was about to explain when he saw a pair of white sneakers appear not far behind Takagi Saya.

His pupils suddenly shrank and he shouted:
"Gao Cheng! Watch out behind you!" "Behind you?"

Saya Takagi was stunned. As soon as she turned around, a corpse with a hideous and terrifying face pounced on her like a mad dog!
A bloody face, a shattered body, clothes stained with dust and blood——

"ah----!!!"

"Gao Cheng! Get out of the way!"

Hirano Toda suddenly pushed Takagi Saya away, raised his gun and shot!

puff!
The horse nail instantly penetrated into the forehead of the zombie that was rushing towards him, and the powerful impact force caused the zombie's forehead to tilt back!
But there are far more than just one zombies rushing towards them!
"Takagi! Quick! Throw the magazine to me! We have to get out of here!"

Hirano Toda shouted anxiously, his finger constantly pulling the trigger.

The scream of Takagi Saya just now was too sharp, and the corpses on the lower floors would definitely be attracted here! If they stay any longer, they will be dead!
Gao Cheng Saya's face was in a panic. Once these zombies approached a living person, they moved extremely quickly! Several times, the zombies' claws almost touched her calves, and the blood splashed from falling to the ground directly fell on her skirt, which made her feel nauseous and terrified.

He quickly poured out the package and took out two horse nail boxes and threw them to Hirano Toda.

Click.

As a crisp hollow sound came from the nail gun, Hirano Toda's face changed, and he suddenly rolled over to avoid the zombie's bite, while quickly ejecting the empty magazine and reloading it.

"Takagi! There's a cutter in the bag! Let's go!"

As he spoke, Hirano Toda turned around and raised his hand to shoot. With a "pop" sound, a horse nail pierced directly into the zombie's temple.

"How do we get out? There are zombies on both sides!"

Saya Takagi was so anxious that she was about to cry. Although there were fewer zombies on the left, she still didn't dare to go.

"The left side is far from the stairs. Go to the teaching building through the overhead corridor over there! Quick!"

Horse nails shot out from the muzzle of the nail gun, and zombies fell one after another, but Hirano Toda's expression became more solemn.

There are more and more zombies coming up from the stairs not far to the right!
Saya Takagi looked at the zombies blocking her left side, and had no choice but to pick up the cutter on the ground tremblingly, and tears immediately rolled down her eyes.

Why does she have to suffer like this!

Seeing that Takagi Saya had not made any move, Hirano Toda became extremely anxious and could not help but turn around and urge:
"Run! Gaocheng!"

He was struggling to hold on, but Takagi Saya was still in a daze!
"Don't order me!"

Takagi Saya's pretty face was covered with tears, and she choked with sobs and angrily scolded Hirano Toda.

As he said that, he picked up the electric cutter regardless of anything and rushed towards the zombies on the left.

As soon as the five-meter range was reached, the zombies almost instantly locked onto Saya Takagi's position, and as if they had been injected with hormones, they suddenly roared and opened their mouths and pounced on her!

The brutal and terrifying aura frightened Saya Takagi so much that her face froze. In desperation, she suddenly closed her eyes and screamed as she aimed the high-speed cutting tool at the zombie's head!
laugh--!
There was a sharp, low cutting sound.

The smelly blood splattered everywhere like blooming fireworks, soaking Saya Takagi all over.

The zombie's entire head was cut in half like tofu, but Takagi Saya still didn't dare to open her eyes, and the remaining zombies were already approaching!

"Gao Cheng!!!"

boom!
Suddenly there was a loud noise.

The glass door of the overhead corridor on the third floor was kicked to pieces, and then a figure rushed out like a cannonball and kicked the zombie on the far right. The powerful force made the zombie roll out like a bowling ball, knocking away five or six of its kind.

Feeling the ground shaking, Liu Yuansheng didn't dare to stop at all. Even though his physical fitness was nearly three times that of an ordinary person, he didn't dare to fight the zombie tide alone in this corridor. The zombies rushing towards him from all directions left him no space to dodge or exert his strength. He had strength but nowhere to use it. How could he fight?
Saya Takagi, who was closing her eyes to escape, only heard a sudden muffled sound, and the roar in front of her suddenly stopped. She opened her eyes in confusion, only to find a familiar figure rushing straight towards her from the front.

Saya Takagi's eyes suddenly lit up and a look of surprise appeared on her face. Is this... coming to save her?

Then she saw Liu Yuansheng didn't even look at her, he just passed by and rushed to Hirano Toda who was fighting and retreating not far away.

Saya Takagi's face suddenly froze.

The entire right side of the corridor was now mostly filled with zombies. Fortunately, Hirano Toda always kept his distance and did not trigger the zombies' acceleration mechanism. At the same time, he kept shooting, killing the zombies in the front. Zombies were constantly tripped by their own kind under their feet, and then crawled forward one after another.

A few scattered zombies have already "spread" to the door of the teacher's office.

Liu Yuansheng rushed forward with his knife in hand without any hesitation.

Just as Hirano Toda was gritting his teeth and concentrating on shooting, suddenly, a figure flashed past from the side like a ghost, scaring him so much that he almost turned around and fired.

But before he could see who was coming, the figure rushed straight to the teacher's office next to the trophy display cabinet! His face suddenly changed:
"Hey! Classmate! You can't go in! The zombies on the second floor are almost--!"

Before he could finish his words, Hirano Toda's eyes widened as if his neck was being strangled.

The moment the figure approached the office door, he suddenly bent his knees. The next second, the whole figure suddenly accelerated, and the five-meter distance was covered almost in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the zombie in front.

The forearm stretched out to the side suddenly pulled back, and the whimpering sound of breaking through the air seemed to tear apart the air, and the iron blade turned into an afterimage and directly swept across the zombie's head -

Bang!
The hideous head exploded like a watermelon in an instant, and white brain matter mixed with blood splattered all over the ground.

The remaining zombies directly triggered acceleration. Under the horrified gaze of Hirano Toda, Liu Yuansheng's body did not stop at all. He retracted the iron blade to his waist and abdomen, and then swung it again. The blade was not visible, only the sharp whimpering of the air was heard, and the zombie's head exploded in an instant.

The last zombie was still biting from the front, but the man had just swung the iron blade, and the old strength had already worn out and the new strength had not yet been generated. Seeing that the zombie's bloody mouth was less than three inches away from the neck, Liu Yuansheng looked calm, without any panic on his face. In an instant, he stretched out his hand and pinched the zombie's neck, stopping the zombie from lowering its head to bite, and then used the inertia of his body to smash it against the wall with a bang, and then turned his wrist, and the iron blade sank into the zombie's skull with a puff like a bamboo stick.

Smelly blood oozes out from the hole in the skull.

The man in front of him performed his entire set of movements smoothly, without a single unnecessary movement during the fight. The fight was thrilling and perfect, as if it was an art of killing.

"(д)" Hirano Toda.

Liu Yuansheng frowned and pulled out the iron blade. Without support, the corpse slid directly off the wall.

Liu Yuansheng didn't even look at it, then kicked open the office door and walked in.

Hirano Toda was still in a daze, but Takagi Saya came to her senses at this moment. Seeing that Hirano Toda seemed to be helping Liu Yuansheng, she was immediately furious! Damn bastard! How dare you ignore me!

"You fat bastard! What are you doing? Leave him be! If he wants to die, let him die! The zombies are coming soon. If we don't leave now, it will be too late!"

"But…"

"Roar!!!"

A roar suddenly came from the end of the corridor, which scared Hirano Toda so much that he rolled and crawled out of the corridor following Takagi Saya.
