Chapter 18: Meeting, the Protagonist Trio

In an empty Rooftop, a ripple in space suddenly appeared, and a young man appeared on the Rooftop. The man waved his hand, and a girl appeared by his side.

Lingyun looked around; this was a beautiful campus, several cherry blossom trees were in bloom, and the campus was filled with a warm atmosphere.

"This place should be Fujimi Academy; it is a very beautiful place, but it is a pity that such beautiful scenery will soon be gone. If my estimation is correct, then the attack of the 'dead' should be about to begin. By the way, Ye Xi, what is your identity?"

"Hmm, let me see." Luo Yexi pointed at the center of her brows, "Oh, I am an exchange student who came here from the Heavenly Dynasty, here to report today."

"Is that so? But it looks like that won't be necessary; the 'dead' have already arrived." Lingyun's gaze landed in the distance, where traces of the 'dead' had already appeared, and they were continuously gathering toward the campus, and the number seemed abnormally high.

"Are we preparing for battle?" Red light faintly swirled on Luo Yexi's palms.

Lingyun reached out to stop her: "The most important thing now is to find those people, Komuro Takashi and the others. Also, unless it is a special situation, do not use True Qi so obviously."

"But, I don't want to touch such disgusting zombies with my hands—uh, according to this world's terminology, they should be the 'dead'." Looking at the 'dead' already approaching the school gate, Luo Yexi looked troubled.

"Here! Use this weapon first!" Lingyun flicked his hand, and a wooden long sword appeared in his hand. "Remember, the 'dead' can only be completely eliminated by destroying their heads."

Luo Yexi took the long sword, a flash of doubt in her eyes; this weight did not seem to be pure wood.

"When necessary, you may use it," Lingyun said. "Now, let's go find people."

"Clang, clang," a man in a suit began to emerge from somewhere, constantly slamming his body against the school gate. One woman and three men, four teachers, appeared at the school gate, and expressions of displeasure appeared on their faces as they looked at the man slamming the gate.

"Teacher Lin, don't worry, I will solve this matter quickly." A strong male teacher, seemingly to win the favor of that female teacher, waved his fist and walked toward the man in the suit. But he did not know that, from an angle he could not see, there was a huge wound on the back of the man in the suit that seemed to have been torn open, and pieces of bloody internal organs were slowly falling out.

Just as that teacher grabbed the man in the suit, preparing to throw him out with his own proud arm strength, the man in the suit directly opened his mouth and bit down on his arm.

That teacher let out a miserable scream, fell to the ground, and kept twitching, and in a short while, he stopped moving. The other three teachers hurriedly leaned over to check on that teacher's condition, but unfortunately, as soon as they got close, one of the teachers was bitten by the male teacher who had suddenly raised his head. In just a moment's time, the school gate turned into a living hell, with screams rising one after another.

At the same time, the campus broadcast also rang out: "Attention, students and faculty! Attention, students and faculty! Our academy is currently under attack by unidentified elements. Please follow the instructions of the staff and immediately begin to evacuate... Ah, you are, don't come over, help! Roar..."

The broadcast was suddenly interrupted. Lingyun listened to the broadcast, his brows slightly furrowed, and his Divine Sense spread out with full force, searching for the traces of Komuro Takashi and his group.

Luo Yexi gripped the wooden sword in her hand tightly, her gaze sweeping over the 'dead' rampaging on campus, with undisguised disgust in her eyes.

"Found them, let's go. Their situation is not very good, and the 'dead' seem to have a tendency to gather in that direction. Let's hurry over." Lingyun opened his eyes, his right hand opened, and a wooden sword appeared in his hand as he ran toward the Rooftop exit.

Luo Yexi followed closely behind him. Lingyun was not too strong right now; previously, it had always been the Master protecting her, and now it was her turn to protect the Master.

After descending from the Rooftop, there were already quite a few 'dead' wandering in the corridor. Before Lingyun could make a move, Luo Yexi beside him had already rushed out a step ahead of him, the long sword in her hand waving at high speed. Before the 'dead' in front of them could make any move, they all fell under her sword.

Watching Luo Yexi quickly defeat the 'dead', Ling Tian said: "Ye Xi, do not get entangled in the fight. The most important thing now is to find those protagonists."

Luo Yexi nodded slightly, the long sword in her hand swung, forcing back the zombies in front of her, and followed Lingyun as they rushed toward the stairs.

In a classroom, one woman and two men were fighting with the 'dead' trying to break into the classroom; they were the group of protagonists Ling Tian was looking for. One of the boys holding a baseball bat smashed the head of the 'dead' in front of him with one swing, muttering constantly: "They are no longer human, they are no longer human..."

Beside him, a woman holding an aluminum mop handle said with an impatient face: "I know, Takashi, you are really annoying!"

"Awoo," a 'dead' suddenly rushed into the classroom. The mop handle in Miyamoto Rei's hand was used like a Spear, thrusting out and piercing into the abdomen of the 'dead', momentarily preventing it from moving forward. The other boy beside him slammed his fist into the head of the 'dead', knocking it to the ground in one blow. Miyamoto Rei seized the opportunity and used the mop handle to pierce into the head of the 'dead'; the 'dead' twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

The boy caught his breath: "Rei, Takashi, we cannot stay here any longer, otherwise our physical strength will sooner or later be exhausted by these 'dead', and when that time comes, we will not be able to escape death."

"But, the 'dead' are constantly gathering toward this place. With our strength, it is not an easy thing to break out!" Komuro Takashi looked at the 'dead' outside the classroom, his face grave.

"Oh no, look!" Komuro Takashi pointed his finger forward, his face extremely ugly.

Igou Hisashi and Miyamoto Rei looked up and forward, their faces also quite ugly; another wave of 'dead' was approaching in their direction, and at that number, they simply could not hold them off.

"Now, we can only break out before they surround us." Igou Hisashi loosened his joints and said seriously to the other two. "Don't worry, we can break out!"

Looking at Igou Hisashi's confident appearance, a glimmer of light flashed in Miyamoto Rei's eyes. But she did not notice the gloom and dejection that flashed in the eyes of Komuro Takashi beside her.

"But, where are we going to break out to?" Miyamoto Rei asked.

"We are going to the Rooftop; there is only one entrance and exit there. As long as we guard that place, we can temporarily ensure our safety." Igou Hisashi's gaze landed on the group of 'dead' in front.

However, a scene that shocked him appeared: two figures, one male and one female, suddenly rushed out from the corner of the corridor and charged directly into the group of 'dead'. Both of them held a wooden sword in their hands, and every strike hit the head of a 'dead' with precision. Black filthy blood splattered, but it seemed that not a drop landed on the two of them. Their speed was extremely fast, and in just a few minutes, that group of 'dead' were all lying on the ground, motionless.

"So, so amazing, are they, could they be seniors from the Kendo Club?" Miyamoto Rei muttered to herself.

"Yo, so there are still living people here?" Lingyun waved at Komuro Takashi and the other two, his gaze landing on Komuro Takashi. With just one glance, he recognized that this person was the most important one among the Fate Children of this world, Komuro Takashi. Because the Fate on his body was quite powerful, exceeding the sum of all the living people in this school.

"Who are you people?" Looking at the two in front of him, Igou Hisashi stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

"I am an exchange student from the Heavenly Dynasty, and today is my first day reporting to school. I didn't expect such a thing to happen here." Luo Yexi said. When entering this world, the World Consciousness had transmitted quite a bit of knowledge to Luo Yexi, and language was naturally one of them.

Igou Hisashi looked Lingyun and the other over and said: "Let's not talk about this for now; we should go to the Rooftop first, it is relatively safer there."

Lingyun looked around and said: "That's right, it's not safe here. Let's go, we will lead the way, and you guys cover the rear."
