Capítulo 39: Yulin City's Last Value
In the underground base at Sanzhong School, Principal Wang sat on a chair with a stern expression. The other physical education teachers and students stood below, not daring to take a breath.
"Have they not found her yet?" Principal Wang asked coldly.
"N-No, they haven't," a physical education teacher replied in a low voice.
"Useless! How could she, a girl with no strength, possibly kill both of us? There must be someone helping her!" Wang pounded the armrest of the chair and shouted in anger.
"Is it that guy?" At this moment, Daxiong, one of the students, suddenly spoke.
"Who?" Wang immediately looked over.
The sinister look in his eyes made Daxiong shiver, but he continued to explain, "Principal, today I saw a young man who came to the school with a sexy woman and a little girl. They left, and I saw that he entered the school alone. I figured he must be a powerful Evolver, so I didn't go out to check."
"A sexy woman?" Wang's face revealed a lecherous smile.
"Principal, do you think this guy could be the one they've been talking about on the radio recently? The owner of the Great Potential restaurant in the People's Road area. It could really be him!" The only math teacher suddenly spoke up.
"Yeah! The radio said that some people from Shelter No. 9 often go there!"
"Perhaps this guy is from Shelter No. 9, and he planted himself here in the fallen Yu Lin City. His purpose must have something to do with the city's last value!"
Wang sneered. "Is this guy a fool? Opening a restaurant in a city filled with zombies? I think he's eyeing the last value of Yu Lin City!"
"The last value of Yu Lin City?" Everyone looked puzzled.
"Why haven't I left this place?" Principal Wang stood up slowly.
"Why?" The others looked at the principal in confusion.
"You're supposed to be teachers, for heaven's sake!" The principal rolled his eyes at them with a look that said, 'You're hopeless.'
"Let's get this straight. Why, as a Tier 3 Evolver, haven't I left this place? Why haven't I gone to a shelter?" He asked.
"Because of your leadership?" One of the physical education teachers hesitantly guessed.
"Hmph! Do you think I care about leadership?" Wang scoffed.
"Then why?" They asked again.
"The last value of Yu Lin City is by no means what you imagine it to be," Wang replied.
"Listen up, you've all said it, this place is teeming with zombies. Those zombies are the last value of Yu Lin City. Think about it; what do Evolvers need to enhance their strength? Crystal core! Thirty thousand zombies can yield an enormous number of crystal core!"
"Moreover, Yu Lin City's buildings and immovable machinery are all part of the city's value. Consider this; if we want to rebuild human civilization in the future, it must be built on the foundation of a developed civilization."
The principal's eyes were filled with fantasies about the future.
"Do you know that having control over a mature urban civilization will save us decades of struggle compared to building one from scratch?"
As they heard this, everyone began to realize the implications of the principal's words.
"And if we can control Yu Lin City, we will be pioneers on the path to the future rise of humanity!"
All of them were inspired by the principal's words.
But at that moment, Daxiong's comment somewhat disrupted the atmosphere: "So, are we still going to that restaurant to find the women?"
"Of course we're going!" Principal Wang responded without hesitation.
"We'll go, kill the owner, take the woman, and then hide here. Who will ever know it was us?"
"Principal, something's not right!" Suddenly, a student responsible for guarding the entrance rushed in.
"Someone's come to the school, and a woman is leading them, around twelve people in total!"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Principal Wang widened his eyes.
He led his group to the entrance by the pond and peered through the gap to observe a woman in a white outfit with long hair, accompanied by over a dozen people, slowly approaching.
"Wow! A real beauty! It seems she's an Evolver too. If I could make a connection with an Evolver, my strength, even if I reach the Fourth Evolution, would be just around the corner!"
Principal Wang licked his lips as he observed the approaching Bai Zhi.
"Captain, what do you see over there?" Suddenly, Black Wolf, who was with Bai Zhi, pointed to the iron gate beneath the pond.
Startled, Principal Wang, hidden behind the gate, squinted and immediately called out to the approaching group, "Who are you?"
"Captain, there's someone inside!" Black Wolf pretended to look surprised and told Bai Zhi.
"We're from Shelter Nine. Are you survivors?" Black Wolf yelled from a distance.
"Yes! We're teachers from the school!" Principal Wang promptly responded.
"Come out! We're looking for supplies. We can take you to our shelter!" Black Wolf said loudly, but they didn't approach the pond.
"What should we do, Principal?" Other teachers nearby hesitated.
"Go outside!" Principal Wang said without hesitation.
He then looked at several students. "You few, go ahead. Pretend you haven't eaten for a long time, get close to them, and then attack them directly!"
"Ah!" Da Xiong and the others hesitated.
"Ah, come on! You're students. They'll definitely let their guard down, and I'll handle it when the time comes!"
Principal Wang immediately scolded.
"Alright!"
Da Xiong and the others reluctantly nodded.
Afterward, Principal Wang slowly opened the iron gate. As he stepped out, his face changed, and he slumped, appearing weak and feeble. Two physical education teachers immediately rushed to support him.
The students ahead walked toward Bai Zhi's group, then carefully climbed out of the pond.
If it weren't for the earlier warning from Xiao Fen, they would have certainly fallen for this act.
At that moment, on the rooftop of the teaching building, Xiao Fen used the scope of his Barrett to observe everything closely.
"The one in the middle is probably the principal, along with two physical education teachers and five students. Inside the underground base, there are probably more than fifteen people guarding!"
Xiao Fen relayed the information to Bai Zhi and her group through their earpieces.
"Don't be fooled by them. They might be planning to get close and then attack later!"
"Wait a minute!"
Bai Zhi immediately stopped the people approaching Principal Wang and his group.
"Are you the only ones inside? Aren't there any others? What about the students?"
"There are some students inside, and they haven't eaten for several days. Please go in and save them!"
Principal Wang urgently said.
"Buy some time. Let Da Xiong and the others attack from the back. When they start fighting inside, that's when you move!"
Xiao Fen directed everything from the rooftop.
"Also, Black Wolf, the moment you start fighting, your first priority should be to blow up the iron gate below the pond, cutting off their escape route!"
