Daily life in Zongman

As for the person in the tent... Shido Haoyi narrowed his eyes. That was an unstable factor.

He was gambling, betting that the people inside the tent possessed basic moral principles. As long as the psychic inside the tent was kindhearted, once he controlled the entire school, they would be easily controlled. And the probability of winning this bet was extremely high. Remember, this psychic had saved the entire school; such obvious saintly behavior was incredibly easy to control.

Even if he lost the bet, he knelt down and admitted defeat. His kindness saved everyone in the school, so he should not be killed, and his life can be saved.

So, while ensuring his own safety, this is his best opportunity to stand up and seize power while everyone is still in chaos.

You have to know that in the doomsday world, he has no superpowers, so power is his strength. He needs this power to protect himself, and he will do anything to achieve this!

Shido Koichi is very cunning and has a strong ability to act. After the zombie crisis broke out, he adapted to the environment in an instant, began to find the right time, stepped onto the stage, and used means to seize power for himself and ensure his own safety.

He watched as ten people on the right side of the playground were tied up, and two of them began to transform into zombies. Fortunately, the two men had been tied up and no major chaos was caused.

After confirming that the matter was handled, he looked at the stern-faced Futaba Rio, and the smile on his lips became even more cheerful.

He faced the survivors on the playground and looked around: "Now, everyone, listen to my plan. I plan to use the school as my base and wait for rescue to arrive. What do you think?"

Most of the students on the playground agreed with this plan because the school was already safe and no one wanted to take risks outside.

Shido Koichi looked at Futaba Rio and said, "So, what was the plan you were going to talk about? Let's compare and see whose plan is better. Then we can just use the one that's better."

Futaba looked at him, her emotions returning to calm from anger.

Her words were flat and cold: "You are such an idiot who only wants to seize power to satisfy yourself. You are so ugly."

After she finished speaking, she ignored Shido Koichi and instead looked at the crowd on the playground, clearly outlining her plans for the future. She gave up on gaining the approval of all the survivors and decided to simply gain the support of rational and intelligent people.

"My subsequent plan is not to wait for rescue, but to take the initiative to save myself."

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon. The boys and girls are divided into groups to do their work. The girls are collecting school supplies, mainly packaged food and water, while the boys are working to reinforce the walls and gates before nightfall. After the reinforcement is completed, they will clean up the dormitory building and cremate the zombie corpses together. At night, they will all sleep in the dormitory building."

Zi Teng tried to interrupt: "Of course I know"

"Shut up, idiot! Isn't it ugly that you interrupt others to gain an advantage?"

"Continue with the previous plan. Arrange personnel to take turns on duty at night. Start exploring the next day, collect nearby supplies, and work hard to save ourselves, rather than simply waiting for rescue. Remember, this is a global doomsday crisis. The probability of rescue is almost zero. We need to save ourselves, and even save others, rather than waiting for others to save us."

"The plan for the next morning is to gather weapons and armor. We'll use the kendo club's armor for protection and the archery club's bows and arrows for weapons. After lunch, we'll organize a fully armed team to go out exploring. During this time, those who remain on campus will continue to gather supplies, this time focusing on lumber and nails. We need to begin fortifying the dormitories where we'll rest for the night."

"By evening, the expedition team must return..."

Futaba Rio finished describing the plan for the previous three days in detail. Everyone on the playground was silent for a moment, and some people started talking.

While Futaba was speaking, Shido Koichi tried to interrupt, but his attempt was rebuffed.

He waited gloomily until Futaba finished explaining her plan, then said, "Of course I know all this. I will also arrange for the collection of supplies. You've said so much, isn't it just to expand my plan?"

He realized that he really had to go out and explore, and now waiting for rescue was basically waiting for death, so he had to try to save himself. So he kept silent about his plan of staying where he was and waiting for rescue, and directly distorted the first half of Futaba's words, taking her plan on himself.

Koichi Shido discovered that Rio Futaba was very smart and her plans were much better than his, and he absolutely could not let her show that she was better than him again.

So he once again used his cunning wisdom and tried to kick Futaba out of the game directly: "I'm curious about one thing. Why are you wearing casual clothes? It's a school day now, why are you not wearing your school uniform?"

Shido Koichi was betting that Futaba wasn't a student at this school. If he won, he could kick her out instantly. If he lost, he could ask her why she wasn't wearing a uniform, using his natural teacher power to undermine her prestige. Regardless of whether he won or lost, he'd benefit.

Futaba ignored Shido Koichi. She had already finished telling him her plan. Among the survivors, there were naturally smart and rational people who recognized her and chose to follow her.

Now all she had to do was continue watching this clown jumping around for a while, and then wait until evening to give up this tiring leadership role.

Seeing that Futaba didn't answer, Shido Koichi thought that he had guessed correctly that she didn't dare to reply, so he looked at the survivors: "Does anyone here know this person?"

The playground was completely silent.

The corners of his mouth curled up: "I don't know you either. It seems that you are not a student of our school!"

"A person who doesn't wear a school uniform on a school day and isn't even from our school, I'm saying, you're not one of those people who dropped out of school early and comes to our school to steal things, are you?"

"Excuse me, what qualifications do you have to arrange for us?"

Futaba looked at him indifferently, without ridicule or anger, just watching quietly.

Shido Koichi felt a little uneasy. He realized that the person in front of him seemed to have escaped his verbal trap and no longer argued with him. Her indifferent expression was as if she was watching a clown show.

He thought about it and felt that he had won the trust of most of the survivors and could end it appropriately.

He looked at the people on the playground: "It's obvious now that this person is a member of society who has infiltrated our school. Everyone, follow me. I will do my best to ensure your safety. Even if you are infected, I will do my best to save you!"

There was enthusiastic applause in the playground.

Shido Koichi's lips curled up. He knew he had succeeded, and he had gained the trust of most people. Next, he just needed to spend some time to win over the remaining people.

It's an easy thing, isn't it?

He shamelessly adopted Futaba's plan and said with a smile: "Everyone, come with me. Let's go to the teaching building to collect supplies and then reinforce the gate and the wall to prepare for a safe rest tonight."

Many of the survivors on the playground followed Koichi Shido and left.

But there are still some people left, including those who know clearly who saved them, those who understand and don't like Shido Koichi, and those who, after rational analysis, choose Futaba Rio, who seems smarter and more reliable.

Among these people are Igo Naga, Miyamoto Rei, Komuro Takashi, Takagi Saya, Hirano Toda, Ishii Kazu, Marikawa Shizuka, Busujima Saeko, and Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Hidenori, Yoshitake and the other two returned to Futaba. Yoshitake scratched his head. He had some plans, but since Futaba was the leader now, he decided to listen to Futaba.

"Futaba-san, what do we do now?"

Futaba Rio looked around the playground and saw the number of people. "There are fewer people, but we should proceed as planned. The school walls and gates must be reinforced."

Miyamoto Rei, who was in the crowd, suggested, "Why don't we go somewhere else? Why do we have to stay in school?"

Miyamoto Rei hates Koichi Shido very much. She was once threatened by him and had to repeat a grade because of him.

Komuro Takashi agreed: "Why don't we go to the eastern district of Bedzhu City? There's a police station there, and the government and the military should have established a base there."

He was not only agreeing with his childhood sweetheart, but also because his home was in the East District and he wanted to go back and see them. He was a little worried because he had not received a reply to the text message he sent to his family.

Seeing Komuro Takashi speaking, Takagi Saya also agreed: "Yes, there is absolutely no need for us to stay here with that Shido Koichi."

She knew it would be better to stay here, but she liked Komuro Takashi and would support him when he spoke.

Hirano Toda looked around, lowered his head and said nothing.

Jing Haoyong looked at his girlfriend and best friend, and instead of agreeing with them, he gave them some advice: "Since we're staying here, let's just listen to Futaba-san's arrangements. Don't make suggestions without authorization, as this will cause trouble to others."

Miyamoto Rei lowered her head and decided to listen to her boyfriend.

Komuro Takashi looked at his childhood sweetheart and didn't refute or say anything, but just clenched the baseball bat in his hand.

Futaba looked at the team in front of her and wondered silently what Fujiwara Haru would say if he were here.

After experiencing things, people always gain something, whether good or bad. After being initially angered by Shido Koichi, Futaba Rio fell into a verbal trap for a while, but she quickly reacted and stopped arguing with the sophist. This made her realize that she was truly not good at communicating with others.

Next to her, there is a person who is very good at communication and has leadership skills. She decided to imitate him to communicate in the team.

After a moment's thought, she began to explain, "We need to determine our goals now. After the zombie crisis, we are struggling for survival, not exploring. I hope you understand this: we must ensure our own survival before doing anything else. If you can survive stably in the same place, don't run around."

"The school is now very safe and well-equipped. We have a library where we can look up information, a plastic running track that can be turned over for farming, a health room that provides basic medical care, and a laboratory for simple research and the ability to make explosives and other props. Finally, if we organize the equipment of the Kyudo Club, Kendo Club, and Gun Club, we'll have excellent weapons and armor."

"What's more, this school covers a vast area. We can just stay in the center and don't have to worry about making noises that might attract zombies from outside. It also has a protective wall, a cafeteria for storing supplies, and plenty of desks, books, and other resources for collection and use. It's an excellent location for a base."

"Here, our survival can be greatly guaranteed."

Futaba Rio thought about the way Fujiwara Haru spoke, and tried to explain why she wanted to reinforce the school as a base instead of choosing to leave.

Hidenori, Yoshitake and the other two looked at each other, and after confirming that the person in front of them was much smarter than them, they felt relieved and acknowledged Futaba's leadership position.

Busujima Saeko looked at Futaba and said, "You look like a leader now. I'll listen to you. Shall we go reinforce the wall now?"

"No, we are going to collect supplies now. We need to collect the most basic food and water, and then collect reinforcement materials."

Saeko Busujima thought for a moment: "Are you worried about Shido Koichi and the others?"

Futaba nodded: "Yes, if we don't collect food and water now, we will definitely have conflicts with them later."

When Miyamoto Rei heard Shido Koichi, her face instantly darkened: "I think even if we collect all the information, he will come and cause trouble for us."

Futaba glanced at the tent, feeling a little annoyed at the idiot who slept so well, and muttered, "I won't be in charge of what happened then. I'm only responsible for making plans."

"Alright, let's get started now. Let's go to the cafeteria first. Who of you would like to stay and watch the backpacks and the supplies we brought back later?"

"I can, yeah. I'm not very strong, so I can't move too many things, but I have no problem watching things."

The blonde school doctor Shizuka Marikawa raised her hand.

After that, everyone started to divide the work and cooperate with each other, and the plan progressed smoothly without any problems.

After bringing back a lot of food and water on a cart and piling them up beside the tent, Busujima Saeko replaced Marikawa Shizuka and began to guard the supplies to prevent them from being stolen.

The rest of the group was opposite Shido Koichi's team, inspecting and reinforcing the wall to prevent the old and dilapidated part from being washed away. Halfway through the reinforcement, Futaba remembered a crucial matter.

There was a certain material she needed to get in advance to prevent it from being snatched away by Shido Koichi. It was in the lab, in large quantities, but now it was a precious material that could no longer be produced.

Futaba Rio checked the progress of the reinforcement and realized they needed to speed up if they wanted to finish the simple reinforcement of the wall before tonight. So after urging them to speed up, she only called Marikawa Shizuka, who occasionally made things difficult, and the two of them headed to the laboratory and the infirmary together.

Everything went smoothly and she found the supplies she needed in the laboratory and health room: goggles, masks and gloves.

If you plan to go out and explore later, these items are essential protective gear. Futaba can confirm that the zombie virus definitely has other ways of transmission besides biting, and to isolate the body from these viruses, in addition to basic armor, you also need to protect your eyes, nose, and mouth.

Goggles, masks and gloves in laboratories and health rooms are the most important props.

Rio Futaba carefully put these things into a schoolbag. This was not her supply backpack, but a one-handed schoolbag that could be seen everywhere in the school.

When they left the teaching building, they found themselves surrounded.

Shido Koichi appeared in front of the two of them with a gloomy face. He was in a very bad mood, a very bad mood.

Just now, after he led his men back to the teaching building, a Dean of Studies and a Vice Principal emerged from among the survivors. They said, "Aiya~ Zi Teng, thank you for your hard work. Let us take care of the student arrangements from now on."

"After all, we are already quite old and can't do any physical work. We can only make plans and arrange people."

"I say, you won't refuse, right? Mr. Zi Teng from Class 3-B?"

In the last step, Koichi Shido said that Futaba was an outsider and used his identity as a teacher to gain leadership. At this moment, his leadership was naturally taken away by a more senior leader.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course, of course. Let me lead some students to reinforce the wall."

Koichi Shido retained some power.

While reinforcing the wall, he noticed Futaba heading towards the teaching building. Looking at his opponent, whom he thought he had defeated, he instantly found an object to vent his resentment and anger at having his power taken away.

He and his men waited at the door, and after Futaba Rio and Marikawa Shizuka came out, he surrounded them.

"We meet again, suspicious outsider. I saw you from afar, sneaking into the teaching building, looking for something. I'm curious, what are you trying to steal?"

Futaba looked at him calmly without answering. She hated Shido Koichi so much and knew very well that there was no need to communicate with such a cunning villain.

Shido Koichi smiled. He looked at Futaba Rio and Marikawa Shizuka and waved his hand to signal them to narrow the encirclement.

Futaba Rio looked at the survivors surrounding her and said to them, "There is one thing you need to understand."

"This school doesn't belong to you. After the zombie crisis broke out, most of the things in this school were ownerless. We were the first to find and collect them, so they belong to us. What you're doing is robbery."

"Robbery? Hahaha, what are you talking about!"

Shido Koichi's face twisted as he quickly attacked: "I am now one of the leaders of this school, so this school belongs to us, including all the facilities, supplies, and personnel inside. You are stealing our supplies, you are thieves!"

He spoke excitedly and continuously: "I don't want to be accused of being a robber by a thief. Your talent for sophistry is truly superb! As punishment for the thieves, I will now take you back!"

He licked his lips as he said this, staring at Marikawa Shizuka: "Just come with us, don't worry, we won't do anything to you, we'll just let you work."

After Shido Koichi finished his suggestive words, he looked at the surrounded beautiful girl and the lady teacher, and the people around them gradually became agitated, with many men swallowing their saliva and preparing to take action.

Futaba watched them quietly, then looked at the distant sky. There, the clouds seemed to be dyed red by the scarlet on the ground.

The sun was setting and it was already evening.

Her words were extremely calm: "Talking to you is disgusting. This is my last warning, go back."

Zi Teng Haoyi paused and scratched his ears: "Wait a minute, can someone tell me what she just said? I didn't hear it clearly."

The crowd around them erupted in laughter. They jokingly joked with one another, "She said she was warning us, and she said it was her final warning."

"A thief, warning us? Hahaha~"

"Teacher Zi Teng, don't talk so much to the thieves, just arrest them and lock them up."

Shido Koichi enjoyed the crowd's agreement, his face full of joy. He looked at Futaba Rio and said, "I like your cold expression. I just wonder if you will show a different face after I lock you up later~"

Futaba looked at him, looked at the people surrounding him who were ready to make a move, and sighed.

"I've been wondering why that idiot sleeps so soundly. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I guess he must be suppressing his overly sharp five senses when he sleeps. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to fall asleep and stay awake for so long."

"But suppressing the five senses can be dangerous, and he's not the type to disregard the safety of his friends."

"So I thought, what safeword would that idiot use to wake himself up quickly?"

Shido Koichi was very confused: "What are you talking about?"

Futaba's words were very calm: "I didn't call him just now because I wanted him to get some more sleep and rest. Now, it's almost time, and I don't want to watch the clown show anymore."
