23: Chapter 23: Are all the zombies gathered in the school?

"Dad, I'm going to go look for my sister and that useless brother of mine," Li Hao said slowly.

"Hmm, go ahead! Be careful on the way," Li Chongan said with concern.

He certainly didn't want anything to happen to his only remaining son. If that happened, it would be too late for regrets.

"Don't worry! I'm a legendary Ability User now; who could possibly hurt me? Those moronic zombies are as easy to bully as dogs, let alone that group of ordinary people!"

"Hmm, still, be careful in everything you do. As the saying goes, there is always someone better than you. There should be more than just one Ability User in this world."

"Don't worry, old man! By the way, I'm planning to take A-Wei and Liu Yu with me. With those two, the chances of finding my sister should be much higher."

"Hmm, alright, fine!" Li Chongan thought for a moment before slowly agreeing, "However, if they dare to make any suspicious moves, just get rid of them completely."

"Yes, I understand."

"Then I'll be going now."

With those words, Li Hao bowed to the person in front of him, turned around, and walked away quickly.

...

Jiangcheng University!

At the school gate, Ye Fan and Ji Yuyan hid cautiously at the corner of the wall, observing every movement on the school playground.

The school playground was packed with a dense crowd of zombies, constantly wandering around.

In Ye Fan's mind, the Zombie Monitoring Function had already been activated, and a map appeared in his consciousness.

On the map, within a fifty-meter radius, it was filled with dense red dots.

Seeing these red dots, along with the scene before his eyes, Ye Fan suddenly gasped.

So many zombies—what a spectacle! If he wasn't mistaken, it seemed as if all the zombies within a radius of dozens of miles had gathered in this school!

What exactly was the reason for this?

That remained unknown.

Ji Yuyan was so scared that her legs went weak. She hid behind Ye Fan, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"Ye Fan, wh-what should we do now? There are so many zombies; there's nothing we can do against them!" Ji Yuyan said in a terrified, soft voice from behind Ye Fan.

"This... this is indeed tough to handle, but I still want to try and see if I can kill a few."

"Ah! But... there are so many zombies; it's too dangerous. How about we just forget about it!" Ji Yuyan tugged at Ye Fan's clothes and urged him out of concern.

"It's fine! I know what I'm doing."

"Alright then!" Seeing that she really couldn't persuade him, Ji Yuyan could only speak in a disheartened tone.

Ye Fan turned his head to look around, then locked his gaze on the side of the school wall. Within his line of sight, there was an unlocked building.

Ye Fan pointed to that building and whispered to Ji Yuyan beside him: "Yuyan, you go hide in that building opposite first. I'll go kill a few zombies and come right back."

Ji Yuyan followed the direction Ye Fan pointed, spotted the room immediately, but looked very reluctant.

"But... but I'm scared to be alone."

"It's okay, I'll come find you very soon, don't worry! This area is currently safe; the zombies are all concentrated inside this school."

"O-okay! You must remember to come back quickly," Ji Yuyan said, sounding aggrieved.

"Hmm! Go on!"

"Hmm, Ye Fan, be careful!" Ji Yuyan slowly released the hem of Ye Fan's clothes and walked cautiously toward the building he had pointed out.

Watching Ji Yuyan leave, Ye Fan sighed slowly.

If he had known the situation was like this, he wouldn't have brought Ji Yuyan out today; he should have let her stay at home with Li Shiya and the others.

Although Ji Yuyan might have been very reluctant, she would likely have listened to Ye Fan.

However!

Now that he had settled Ji Yuyan, he had nothing to worry about and could completely let loose.

Ye Fan carefully circled from the main gate to the security office. This was the only way to quietly avoid the gaze of most of the zombies.

The door of the security office and the main gate of the school had long been smashed by the numerous zombies.

Ye Fan easily snuck into the school. Around the playground, there were century-old trees planted.

Hiding behind one, he could easily conceal his figure. Ye Fan slowly leaned to the side, scouting the activities of this group of zombies in the playground.

With a single thought, a flame blazed in his palm, quickly transforming into a spike the size of a finger, which hovered slowly above his palm.

"Go!" Ye Fan whispered.

The next moment!

The spike hovering in his palm shot out instantly like a shooting star.

Puchi!

A sound came.

The zombie closest to Ye Fan instantly fell to the ground, losing all mobility.

On the fallen zombie's head, a huge hole slowly appeared, and wisps of blue smoke drifted out from it.

But the scene that followed!

Shocked Ye Fan instantly. He saw the group of zombies immediately swarm around the one he had just killed.

They frantically tore its body apart and ate it, stuffing it into their mouths in large bites, with blue blood staining the corners of the zombies' mouths.

In just a few seconds!

The zombie corpse on the ground had vanished without a trace!

"This... what's going on? That zombie was... eaten by them." Ye Fan said in a deep voice, looking incredulous.

He had never imagined that these zombies would even eat the corpses of their own kind. Ye Fan had always thought that these zombies only hunted humans, but now, his understanding had been overturned.

But now, there was another question that puzzled Ye Fan.

Since these zombies would eat the bodies of their own kind, why was there such a harmonious scene? Why was there no infighting? This didn't seem reasonable!

Could it be that they didn't dare to?

Ye Fan shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.

Ye Fan looked up at the tree beside him; this large tree was very tall, probably several dozen meters high.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Ye Fan's mind. There were just too many zombies in the playground; he had to find a safe position.

Well, wasn't the tree in front of him a safe position?

Once he thought of this!

Ye Fan started doing it right away.
