Chapter 13

Lao Fatzi and a few others sat together, the atmosphere was very heavy, and no one spoke.

Although no one had ever proposed the concept of a team, the six people in the KTV were actually a small group.

On the first night of the apocalypse, the six people had been together from the very beginning. Although the relationship within this team was still fragile, whether it was due to Si Yao's cowardice, the wariness towards Yan Zetong, or the two girls being a burden.

However, if nothing unexpected happened, this small team would become more united and stronger.

Of course, at the age of twenty-something, nothing goes smoothly, even in a zombie world.

Hao Chen left, setting off on the journey to UEA with Jones and the others.

There were no hugs, no farewells. It was just unlocking the door, and Hao Chen left, very simply.

After experiencing these events, Lao Fatzi knew that the remaining five people would each have their own thoughts.

Lao Fatzi could feel that the others regarded him as the backbone of this small team, so he had the responsibility and obligation to lead the remaining people to go further.

One could say that Hao Chen's departure was a significant blow to everyone, even though she was a burden. Therefore, the most pressing task was to lift everyone's spirits and at least get them to shake off the shadow of Hao Chen's departure as soon as possible.

This was just someone leaving the team. What if, in the future, everyone's feelings grew deeper and someone died? Sigh!

"Hey, Tony. You're quite surprising. Why didn't you go with them? After all, you're all..."

Faced with Lao Fatzi's question, Tony answered without hesitation: "British?"

"Um..."

"Alright, there's nothing to say about this, it's very simple." Tony said, picking up a box of Yuxi cigarettes from the ground and lighting one.

Previously, they had found a lot of cigarettes in the clothes of the exchange students. Yuxi, Zhonghua, Furongwang, Nanjing, Hongtashan, Marlboro, Kent, and so on, scattered all over the floor.

"Even though I'm British like them, I don't know them at all. On the contrary, we..."

As he spoke, Tony looked around at everyone.

"We've been together since last night. Although we haven't experienced much, we've been through life and death together. I know your name is Lao Fatzi, you're Albe, you're Si Yao, you're Yan Zetong. See, I know all of you. Why would I go with a group of people I don't know?"

As he spoke, Tony took a puff of the Yuxi in his hand.

"To put it simply, although I'm not afraid to meet new people, I hate interacting with people I'm not familiar with. It's very awkward."

After Tony finished speaking, Lao Fatzi also took a cigarette from the pile and started smoking.

"Thank you, Tony."

"You don't need to thank me. I just did what I thought was right. If you can call me by my Chinese name in the future, that would be even better."

Tony took a hard puff of his cigarette and then asked in confusion, "But what really surprised me is why Hao Chen left? I can't understand what she's doing."

"Some people leave, and that's it. There's no reason. They just want to leave."

Lao Fatzi answered, blowing out a ring of smoke.

*********

"Beep, beep, beep."

The five people were chatting when the fire alarm suddenly went off!

"Damn!" Lao Fatzi quickly jumped onto the sofa, waving a hammer, but found that he couldn't reach the fire alarm on the ceiling.

"Ha..." Lao Fatzi's comical actions made Albe laugh, and the atmosphere instantly became lighter.

Tony also quickly jumped onto the sofa, took the hammer from Lao Fatzi, and smashed the alarm to pieces in just a few swings.

However, the sofa was very soft, and Lao Fatzi lost his balance, reaching out to grab Tony.

Unfortunately, Tony had just smashed the alarm and his arm was still in the air, and he also lost his balance. Lao Fatzi's heavy body leaned towards Tony and fell directly on top of him!

"Bang!"

The two of them fell hard on the floor, and the worst part was that their mouths met...

The atmosphere in the KTV, which had been lively, suddenly became quiet, as if time had stopped.

"Ha ha!" Albe and Si Yao were the first to react, clutching their stomachs and falling onto the sofa, laughing until tears streamed down their faces.

Even the usually serious Yan Zetong burst out laughing.

"Phew, phew, phew!"

"Phew, phew, phew! You fatso! You took advantage of me!" Tony said, slapping Lao Fatzi, but not very hard, clearly just joking around.

"Quick, go check if any zombies have been attracted!" Lao Fatzi ignored Tony, spat a few times, and quickly told Albe. Albe immediately ran to the door and looked outside. Fortunately, most of the zombies had been cleared by Jones and the others earlier, and the deafening alarm only attracted a few.

"Come and look! There are people in the small supermarket across the street!" Albe pointed to the small supermarket across the street.

The alarm had not only attracted the attention of the zombies but also the neighbors across the street.

Lao Fatzi then remembered what had happened last night and quickly ran to the door with the others to look across the street.

In the small supermarket, a man and a woman were waving at them. They were the two white people from last night, and they had both survived!

Albe also waved back, but apart from body language, there was no other way to communicate.

"Lao Fatzi, why don't we go over there?" The small supermarket was like heaven to Albe.

"No way!" Lao Fatzi poured cold water on Albe's enthusiasm.

"Too dangerous! Even though there aren't many zombies outside, just one could force us to deal with you ourselves. Is that fun? Of course not!" Lao Fatzi said, then walked back to the sofa and sat down.

"However, this is still a good thing for us. There are many things we need in the small supermarket. We can go there if necessary, but not now."

The KTV and the small supermarket were separated by a road. Apart from being able to see each other's movements, they couldn't guess what the other side was trying to express. The others also returned to the sofa, but everyone was clearly more spirited than before.

Humans are indeed social animals. As long as they know there are other survivors, they can overcome their fear.

Moreover, it was a small supermarket! This meant they didn't have to eat bread slices and greasy chips anymore.

"Albe... you... why are you bleeding!"

Si Yao saw blood flowing down Albe's thigh and jumped up from the sofa in fright.

"You didn't get bitten, did you!?"

Seeing everyone looking at her thigh, Albe helplessly covered her forehead and said, "Calm down, will you? Don't make a big deal out of it. Haven't you seen a woman on her period before?"
