Following Tianya, Li Chenzhou and the others arrived at the canteen and were surprised to find all the children holding hands in a circle, swaying and singing nursery rhymes. An old man and a young man in his thirties each held a baby in their arms, singing along with them.

The children were of different ages, some with tears still on their faces, but now they were smiling, singing loudly as they smiled...

The sound of Li Chenzhou pushing down the iron gate earlier was very loud. They couldn't have missed it, but it still didn't interrupt their singing. Even when they opened the canteen door, the old man and the young man didn't even glance at the door, but instead sang even louder.

Li Chenzhou stopped and quietly watched the little ones, listening to their singing. Fatty also stood blankly behind Li Chenzhou, while Tianya rushed towards the old man, shouting:

"Dean, someone is here to save us!"

Tianya's voice made the old dean shudder. He originally thought that the sound of the iron gate meant the zombies had already rushed in. He knew he couldn't resist and that the canteen was about to become a living hell, but all he could do was raise his voice and let the children sing a few more lines...

But now, he actually heard a familiar voice. The old dean, who didn't dare to look at the door for fear of seeing zombies swarming in, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Tianya, Li Chenzhou, and Fatty standing at the door in disbelief.

"Stop!"

Seeing that it wasn't zombies at the door, but humans holding long sticks and steel knives, the old dean shouted loudly, and the children immediately stopped singing.

"You...you..."

The old dean walked towards Li Chenzhou, asking in a trembling voice.

"We can take you out safely! But our main force is behind us, you need to wait here for a while!"

Li Chenzhou said:

"You guys pack up first! Our team should be here soon!"

"Okay, okay! God bless us! The children are finally saved!"

The old dean burst into tears again, and then immediately gathered the children and had them line up.

"Fatty, you guard the door here, don't let the zombies rush in."

Li Chenzhou said, then beckoned to Tianya and said:

"Come here, I need you to go outside with me. You bang the gong to attract the zombies, and I'll kill them. Are you willing?"

"I am!"

Tianya immediately ran over and said loudly:

"I said, you saved us, I'll do whatever you want!"

"Okay! Let's go then!"

Li Chenzhou nodded and walked towards the outside. Before he reached the door, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and the other three teenagers rushed down.

They also saw Li Chenzhou and the others come in, so of course they had to hurry down. What if they left and forgot about them?

"One of you stay upstairs and watch the road. When you see a convoy coming, remember to notify me!"

Li Chenzhou said to the three teenagers with faces full of joy, then walked towards the gate.

"Hurry up! Don't let the convoy pass by in a while!"

Tianya said to the three teenagers, then chased after Li Chenzhou.

"Alright, start banging!"

Outside the door, Li Chenzhou looked around, then said.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Tianya immediately raised his mallet and desperately started banging the gong. He knew that Li Chenzhou was going to attract all the nearby zombies to prevent them from being attacked when they went out later.

The alley here wasn't wide. Although cars could enter, there was no way to turn around. Even a bus wouldn't be able to get in. So even if there was a convoy, they would have to walk to the road themselves.

With the sound of the gong, zombies began to appear continuously. This alley was comparable to the urban villages, complex and intricate, so the zombies appeared in ones and twos.

At first, Tianya was a little scared, but after Li Chenzhou easily knocked down a few rushing zombies, he gradually became bolder, looking at Li Chenzhou with admiration.

After a few minutes, the zombies stopped appearing. It seemed that there were only so many nearby.

"Okay, stop!"

Seeing that no more zombies were coming out, Li Chenzhou told Tianya to stop, then looked at the surrounding environment and looked up at the three teenagers on the roof.

Li Chenzhou had originally said that one of them should go up, but all three of them ran up. Moreover, they had seen which direction Li Chenzhou and Fatty had come from, so they were all craning their necks to look in that direction, which looked a little funny.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the side. Li Chenzhou turned his head and saw several survivors running desperately towards here.

Because of the attraction of the gong, the nearby zombies should have all run over and been killed by Li Chenzhou. Therefore, those survivors who were trapped in their homes finally dared to start fleeing!

They might not know that they should leave the city, but they at least knew that staying in their homes would only lead to death sooner or later, because no one's home would store too much food, and because of the lack of water and electricity, the rice and noodles couldn't be eaten at all.

Hearing the sound of the gong, and with the zombies all disappearing, although they didn't see Li Chenzhou slaughtering the zombies, they at least knew that there must be someone where the gong was ringing. Zombies wouldn't bang the gong, at least not so urgently!

Several survivors, both men and women, ran all the way to the orphanage gate. After seeing Li Chenzhou and Tianya, a trace of disappointment appeared on their faces.

The zombie corpses on the ground, as well as the long stick in Li Chenzhou's hand, and the copper gong Tianya was carrying, made the survivors understand that the sound of the gong they had heard earlier was made by this kid.

They originally thought that they would see a rescue team composed of at least a dozen people, and they should still be wearing military uniforms and holding guns—in the hearts of the common people, they trust the olive green that symbolizes loyalty and protection the most when they encounter difficulties!

"These zombies...were all killed by you?"

Although there were only two people, the survivors still stopped. One of the middle-aged men pointed at the more than twenty zombie corpses on the ground and asked.

"I killed them!"

Li Chenzhou replied softly.

"You...are you a rescue team?"

The survivor asked again.

"No! But we're also saving people by the way! If you want to follow us, you can wait here. Our team is behind us!"

Li Chenzhou replied.

"Convoy! I see a convoy!"

At this moment, the three teenagers above suddenly shouted excitedly, while pointing into the distance.

"You guys come down!"

Li Chenzhou shouted, but didn't go out immediately, because if they had just seen the convoy, it would still be a distance before it arrived here, especially since there were still survivors from two residential areas ahead who needed to join the team.

"Convoy?"

Hearing the teenager's shout, the survivors' eyes lit up. The one who spoke earlier looked at Li Chenzhou and asked:

"Your convoy?"

"Yes!"

Li Chenzhou nodded. The survivors were overjoyed and cheered, about to rush out. Since there was a convoy, they definitely had to go over there quickly.

"Hey! Don't go yet, there are still many children here, stay and help!"

Seeing this, Li Chenzhou immediately waved his long stick to stop them, saying...
