Yan Qing felt a sense of urgency. He tore open the packaging and noticed Tan Ming glancing over. "Want me to share half?" he asked, testing the waters.
"You eat; I'm not hungry," Tan Ming replied.
Yan Qing didn't hold back and devoured the chicken leg. After taking a bite, he found it hard to resist the temptation. Once he finished, his hands still felt empty, and he was even hungrier than before.
He glanced at Tan Ming, who also had nothing left in his bag. They hadn't even thought about looking for supplies when they went to the dormitory building in search of answers.
"I don't have any either," Qi Qiuluo said.
Zhang Liu pulled out a bread roll from his bag and handed it to Tan Ming. "Senior, I have one bread roll left."
It was the last bit of food they had.
Among the crowd, many had just swallowed hard after catching a whiff of the chicken. Resources were limited; they had gone searching for food, but the entire school was nearly destroyed by the Mutated Animals. There was hardly anything left to eat, with only a few lucky ones managing to fill their backpacks.
Some were even worse off; their bags were full but left behind in the cafeteria. When they rushed down from upstairs, their only thought was survival—who could remember their bags?
Those with food were not inclined to share at that moment.
Tan Ming raised his voice, asking if anyone wanted to team up to search for food.
Everyone shook their heads.
The school was unsafe everywhere; plants were lurking around every corner. Only Fountain Square felt secure, and as long as they stayed under the protective umbrella of the Jiang Shi for less than five hours, they could return to the cafeteria soon enough. Everyone preferred to hold out a little longer.
"I'll go," Zhang Liu said as he stood up.
"I'll go too," Qi Qiuluo raised her hand. "Count me in."
"Class leader, I’m in!" Xu Le added.
Only a handful were willing to venture out.
Zhang Liu told them honestly, "This time, with the Messenger Tool's usage period ending, we won't be going back to the cafeteria."
"Why not go to the restaurant?"
"My bag is still at the restaurant."
"Why shouldn't we go to the restaurant? It's safer than being outside!"
Qi Qiuluo rolled her eyes. "Why not go to the restaurant? Ha! I can’t believe you’re asking such a silly question. Don’t you think? There are so many Mutated Animals inside; their power is immense. The restaurant has probably been wrecked beyond recognition already. Can we even go back?"
The crowd fell silent, realizing the size and number of the Mutated Animals they were up against. They couldn’t even eat or sleep properly in the restaurant, and their survival depended on guesswork. Why would they want to stay outside?
As long as there were no Mutated Animals outside, those Mutated Plants wouldn’t attack as long as they were out of sight.
After arriving at Fountain Square, the Messengers had already discussed that once the protective umbrella's effectiveness wore off, the Master Ban would reintroduce those Mutated Animals back into the restaurant for another Fifteen Hours.
This was their last Fifteen Hours. If they couldn't find a killer within this time, they would truly be doomed.
Hearing Qi Qiuluo's words, over a hundred people stood up, willing to join Tan Ming in search of food. Yan Qing stood beside Tan Ming, observing the majority of those sitting on the ground; their eyes were fixed on their bags, knowing they all had food.
Tan Ming spoke up early, "I’m heading to Agricultural College. It’s a long way from Fountain Square, and there are Mutated Plants along the route. I can’t guarantee everyone’s safety, so think carefully."
