The three dormitories had been reclaimed, with only the last girls' dormitory remaining to be dealt with. The area around this dormitory was already blocked by vehicles, preventing the slow-witted zombies from crossing these obstacles.
"Ren Jing, Li Xiang, you two go drive and block all the school gates to prevent the zombies outside from getting in! As for this area, I will handle it with the others!" Shen Feng commanded.
Currently, these two were the ones Shen Feng trusted the most. Although they were a bit timid, they were resolute in their actions, which put Shen Feng at ease when assigning them tasks. The school had three exits in total. Normally, the retractable gates would block the main entrance, while the smaller gates were for students' access. However, the power was out, and the retractable gates could no longer operate. Now, all they needed to do was close the small gates, and no ordinary zombies from outside could get in!
Afterward, Shen Feng led the boys to the area below the girls' dormitory. Strangely, the first floor of the dormitory building had only a few scattered zombies. The number of zombies was so small that Shen Feng immediately sensed something was wrong. He quickly said, "Everyone be careful, there might be mutated zombies here. If you encounter any mutated zombies, retreat immediately!"
He had seen strong zombies in the cafeteria before, and it was similar then. The zombies' brains had been eaten, and there were bodies all over the ground, which was why the zombie population was so sparse.
However, after a closer inspection, Shen Feng discovered that there weren't many bodies inside the dormitory building itself. Instead, there were quite a few bloodstains on the ground, indicating they had been dragged, and the zombies had likely already been dealt with! These bloodstains on the ground were dark red, making it impossible to tell if they were human or zombie blood.
"Brother Feng, do you think someone inside the dormitory organized a hunt for zombies? Otherwise, why would the zombie corpses disappear?" the bespectacled boy inquired, wearing heavy knowledge armor.
Shen Feng recognized this classmate; his name was Wu Kai. He was usually very cautious, meticulously careful in everything he did, as if constantly worried about a zombie biting him.
"It's unlikely the girls organized the killing!" Shen Feng analyzed. "Girls are inherently less capable in combat than boys, and food in the dorms is limited. They wouldn't still have food now, would they? Also, look, the main gate here isn't closed. If there were an organized group, why wouldn't they close the dormitory's main gate? That way, they would be safe!"
Wu Kai nodded, then asked, "Then where did the zombies go? Could it be that our previous actions attracted them, and they all left?"
"I'm not sure. I don't think so. I'll go ahead, you follow me! If you encounter any strange zombies, report it immediately and fall back. Don't risk your lives." Shen Feng said, then directly entered the girls' dormitory with his samurai sword.
Seven or eight zombies, seeing food appear, immediately rushed forward. Shen Feng drew his sword and went to engage them. Although the samurai sword was not sharpened, its weight alone could cause damage. Shen Feng specifically targeted the zombies' necks, quickly breaking their cervical spines.
The students behind him quickly followed. Shen Feng commanded, "Everyone, form groups of ten and follow your group leader. Obey your leader's commands!"
With over two hundred people, Shen Feng couldn't manage them all himself. However, he only needed to select loyal individuals and make them group leaders. This would greatly improve management efficiency, and if anyone harbored ulterior motives, it would be revealed during combat.
Afterward, the groups of ten flooded into the dormitory building. Upon entering, they began knocking on doors, "Classmates, is anyone there? We've come to rescue you!"
A strange situation occurred. The entire first floor was empty. Many dormitory doors were open, and the rooms inside were extremely messy, as if they had experienced combat.
"Brother Feng, what do we do?" Wu Kai asked, seeing that the entire first floor was empty.
Shen Feng pondered for a moment and said, "You take a group of people with me upstairs. Everyone else, retreat from the girls' dormitory!"
Wu Kai's face fell, and he then relayed the order. He was beginning to regret his talkativeness. If he hadn't said that one sentence, he wouldn't have had to risk his life.
Afterward, Shen Feng led ten people up to the second floor, saying as they walked, "Knock on doors quickly. If there are zombies, retreat immediately. Make sure to confirm if there are any survivors!"
The group quickly began knocking on doors on the second floor, shouting as they did, "Classmates, classmates, open the door! We're here to rescue people, is anyone alive?" In reality, many dormitory doors on the second floor were also open. In these open rooms, neither people nor zombies could be seen; the entire dormitory was eerily quiet!
"Knock, knock, knock!" Ten people kept knocking, but no one appeared to open the doors. Instead, zombie roars could be heard from some of the rooms. The sound of knocking echoed through the hallway, and everyone felt a sense of unease. Had something happened here before?
Just then, a dormitory door was gently pushed open. A gaunt girl opened the door. Her cheeks were slightly sunken, indicating that after so many days of starvation, she was close to her limit.
"Classmate, why are you only opening the door now? We've been knocking for two minutes!" Wu Kai said with some dissatisfaction.
The girl quickly looked outside the door. After realizing she saw nothing, she finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't dare to open the door because there's a monster here. This monster also knocks on doors. Many classmates opened their doors and were eaten. I didn't dare to. I only opened it to see when I heard you talking!"
Shen Feng quickly asked, "What kind of monster? What does it look like?"
The girl walked out of the dormitory and tried her best to describe it, "It's a colossal creature. When it passes, the light in the entire hallway is blocked! And it knocks on doors. When it knocks, it stands quietly at the door. If someone opens the door, it will immediately grab them and stuff them into its mouth to eat them! It doesn't just eat people; it eats zombies too..."
As she was speaking, a strange sound suddenly appeared, "Thump... thump..." This sound came from upstairs and was very heavy, sounding like a colossal creature walking. As it moved, dust fell from the ceiling above.
"The monster is coming!" the girl said in terror, her face showing a look of fear.
"Quick, retreat!" Shen Feng shouted.
"I can't move. Don't leave me behind! I don't want to die!" The girl began to plead. She was very weak now, and walking was already difficult. It was completely unrealistic for her to run with these people.
"Wu Kai, carry her and leave!" Shen Feng commanded. Wu Kai dared not object and quickly stepped forward to carry the girl. The group rapidly retreated towards the direction of the stairs.
However, just as they reached the stairs, the monster from upstairs had already appeared. It was slowly descending the stairs. Only the monster's gray-black skin could be seen. It was human-shaped, but it was simply too enormous, standing three meters tall. It had to lower its head to pass through the doorway of the stairwell. Its excess fat accumulated, forming layers of wrinkles. The moment it appeared, it filled the entire hallway!
"A new type of zombie!" Shen Feng was also surprised. He had thought they could smoothly reclaim the last building, but now it seemed a new zombie had appeared. This was a zombie he had never seen before, and it was now chasing his group.
Shen Feng now understood why there were so few girls and zombies in the last dormitory building. They must have all been eaten by the mutated zombie in front of them! It was hard to imagine that in just over ten days, most of the people and animals in the entire dormitory building had been eaten by the mutated zombie.
"You all go ahead, I'll cover the rear!" Shen Feng drew his sword and said to those beside him.
Wu Kai and the others dared not linger. The last time, it was due to a lack of timely retreat that two companions were killed by a speed-type zombie. The situation now was similar. If they were too slow to run, something might happen.
Shen Feng stared intently at the giant zombie. He didn't know the zombie's background and dared not attack rashly. At this moment, he had already drawn his sword, ready to attack quickly once he discovered the zombie's weakness.
However, in Shen Feng's eyes, this zombie was clearly full of flaws. It moved slowly and didn't defend itself. It could only walk down from upstairs step by step; it couldn't move quickly at all. At this moment, Shen Feng also saw the zombie's face. The zombie's face was entirely made of fat, making it impossible to even lower its head. If it lowered its head, the thick fat on its neck would impede its movement.
"Swish!" Shen Feng ignored all this and began a probing attack, stepping forward and stabbing the zombie in the stomach.
Although the sword was not sharpened, with Shen Feng's immense strength, he could still stab into its body with one blow.
However, this attack had no effect, as the zombie actually reached out to grab Shen Feng. Seemingly unconcerned about being stabbed, Shen Feng dared not be caught and quickly withdrew his sword. The zombie continued to pursue him. As for the wound, a layer of fat blocked it, preventing any bleeding. Instead, white fat squeezed out of the wound.
"So much fat?" Shen Feng felt a headache. He hadn't expected the opponent to have such high defense.
"Thump" "Thump," the obese zombie continued to descend the stairs, its feet landing with a loud sound.
Shen Feng had no choice. His current weapon could not inflict damage on it, so he had to retreat downwards. The obese zombie's walking speed was clearly not fast enough, but seeing Shen Feng retreating, it actually retracted its hands and feet, turning into a ball of flesh and rolling down.
"What the heck, it can do that!" Shen Feng was startled and quickly accelerated, rushing out of the dormitory building.
Wu Kai and the others were waiting outside. They saw Shen Feng rush out and immediately asked, "Boss, did you deal with the monster?"
Shen Feng threw the samurai sword he was holding to Wu Kai and said to the people around him, "Everyone retreat, retreat all the way to the road! Also, throw some longer steel bars on the ground! Wu Kai, hold my sword!"
"Clang, clang," everyone quickly retreated, and those holding steel bars casually threw them on the ground. From Shen Feng's answer, they learned that the zombie had not been dealt with yet.
Shen Feng picked up a steel bar over a meter long and stared intently at the dormitory building's entrance. Not long after, the obese zombie appeared. It struggled to squeeze out of the dormitory building's main door, almost getting stuck. The boys in the distance also saw this giant zombie.
The boys began to discuss, saying, "This monster is like a meat shield! With so much fat on its body, it must be tough!"
"I think it's a tank. With such a large body, it can crush anything in its path."
"This monster is probably female, right? It's too exaggerated, the way it wobbles when it walks."
...
Shen Feng held the steel bar and faced the zombie. The zombie also stepped forward, seemingly ready to enjoy a meal at any moment.
"Must attack a vital spot, otherwise, it's completely unbreachable!" Shen Feng thought to himself. However, the zombie had too few weaknesses. It seemed to have no defense, as if its entire body was a flaw, but due to the thick layer of fat on its body, the damage was completely absorbed.
Afterward, Shen Feng charged forward, and the zombie reached out to grab him. Shen Feng dodged the zombie's grab and instantly inserted the steel bar into the zombie's abdomen, then let go and retreated.
"Good! Brother Feng is mighty!" The boys in the distance were clapping continuously. In their eyes, Brother Feng had already won. However, the zombie then continued to grab Shen Feng. Shen Feng dodged it with his speed and then picked up another steel bar.
"No way, this zombie is so fleshy!" The boys were dumbfounded, unable to understand why such a scene was unfolding.
However, Shen Feng had already anticipated this situation. He began to continue his attack. The obese zombie's speed was extremely slow, so it couldn't catch Shen Feng. Shen Feng now understood his advantage: his speed was faster than the opponent's. Although the damage he could inflict was not significant, as long as he continued to attack, it would eventually have an effect.
Afterward, the zombie was densely covered with steel bars, which Shen Feng had inserted using his speed advantage. However, even after being turned into a porcupine, this tank-like zombie did not fall, because the steel bars were blocked by fat and muscle, completely failing to reach the internal organs.
