Chapter 1424 - 525: Another Rescue Mission (Part 4)
But, upon hearing his son’s serious reminder, Father Shen, an old farmer with little education, finally realized the severity of the situation.
He didn’t understand the apocalypse.
But he trusted his son.
Their Xiao He was the second most promising person in Shenjiaping, right after Shen Aotian.
Xiao He was a college student, living in the Provincial City, surely he knew a lot.
His words must be right!
"Alright! I got it, I’ve noted down everything you said!"
Father Shen nodded obediently, and also reminded his son, "Xiao He, make sure to stay safe. Once it gets light, hurry back home!"
It’s too chaotic outside, and his son is alone. If he gets bitten by a monster, there’ll be no one to care for him.
It’s better to return to the hometown.
Although Shenjiaping was a bit remote, they had fields and land, food and vegetables at home, and family around. It’s far better than outside!
"Hmm! Dad, I know, I’ll find a way to come back home!"
Shen Hetian held back his tears and choked out as he spoke to his father.
He said this, but he knew inside: the apocalypse had arrived, zombies were rampant, the outside world was already in chaos.
The Provincial City was over a thousand miles from their hometown, usually it took more than two hours by train, then transfer to a small bus, bouncing along mountain roads for over an hour.
It took half a day to return to Shenjiaping.
Now with the apocalypse, he didn’t need to run outside to see; just from the many apocalypse novels he’s read, he could guess that it’s surely chaotic outside.
Actually, not to mention leaving a city with nearly ten million people, even smoothly leaving a campus with tens of thousands of students, Shen Hetian, being an ordinary college student, couldn’t guarantee.
"Leaving school? What a joke, do you know how many people there are in our school?"
"Exactly, just our dorm building alone has so many zombies. And our school has twenty-something similar dorm buildings."
"I don’t want to rush outside to die! We’ll just stay in the dorm, the government won’t abandon us. Maybe the police and soldiers will come to rescue us in the morning!"
"Yes yes! I think the same!"
"Ordinary disasters, the government indeed wouldn’t abandon us, but the problem is, now it’s the apocalypse! Not to mention anything else, just 110, we can’t even get through right now!"
"...Well, I still don’t want to venture out! Those monsters really eat people!"
"Exactly, exactly, let’s wait a bit!"
In the dorm, seven or eight people, each with their own ideas.
However, they divided largely into two camps:
Led by Wang Zimo, the few classmates who had witnessed the horrors of zombies insisted on staying in the dorm, waiting for rescue.
Shen Hetian, Dong Linna, and another guy with family in the Provincial City wanted to rush out of campus to find their relatives.
"Enough! Stop arguing, whether staying in the dorm or going home, we can’t take immediate action now!"
"Yes, it’s still dark outside, and we don’t know the situation outside!"
"That’s right, let’s wait until it gets light to decide. Maybe the school authorities will have arrangements."
"...Fortunately, we have two large barrels of pure water in our dorm, Old Shen’s cousin just sent him several boxes of popular snacks, even staying in the dorm, we won’t go hungry!"
Shen Hetian: ...Those things are all mine, I haven’t even spoken yet, and you guys are making decisions for me.
Shen Hetian wasn’t stingy; if it was usual times, his snacks and drinks were free for the dorm brothers to use.
But now it’s the apocalypse.
Besides, just now, because he didn’t immediately believe the apocalypse was arriving, a few of them scolded him quite a bit.
Shen Hetian knew, the classmates probably didn’t mean it, they were just too scared, too anxious.
But, understanding is one thing, Shen Hetian still felt a bit awkward inside.
Now, they’re not even asking him, directly using his supplies for "public use."
How could Shen Hetian be happy?
"What? Old Shen, you’re not happy? Really? You’re that stingy?"
It was Wang Zimo speaking again, sharply sensing Shen Hetian’s mood wasn’t right, deliberately poking at him.
Shen Hetian: ...Damn it, forcing me into moral coercion?
What does stingy mean?
Sharing my stuff with you is kindness, not sharing is my right, how is this about stinginess?
The apocalypse had just arrived, and before anyone left the dorm, disagreements had begun.
And Shen Hetian, due to having supplies, was pushed to the opposition of the majority...
