Chapter 26.1

Lu Xiuyuan felt that he had never been so lucky.

He and Shen Shian’s student ID cards were stamped in the same batch, and the traces on the photo just happened to be the same; the captain of the rescue team seemed to be very anxious to leave, and he did not bother to verify his identity; Professor Li was not escorted in the same batch. In the helicopter team, he did not see him.

He put a sweater hat on his head, pulled the zipper to the top, followed the last group of rescuers to the wooden bridge leaving the place.

He should be grateful to the more than 5,000 students who have been left behind. Their dissatisfaction and grumbles were deafening. Thus only a few people recognized his shout, and it was soon drowned within the crowd.

He should also thank the rescue team captain for his fierce and arrogant style. In the overwhelming questioning voices, he pulled a pistol and opened three shots. After the sounds subsided, he said, “Take the materials, pay attention to safety and wait for the next wave of rescue.”

Liu Xiuyuan’s lips under the neckline showed a hint of sarcasm. He had already guessed it. This kind of dirty transaction caused by money and power, how can the rescue team explain the reason why only ‘Shen Shian’ is alone to other people?

He heard conversations that others had not heard, glimpsed the truth that others did not glimpse, and seized it at the moment when the opportunity was fleeting.

If any of these links went wrong, then he could only stay here and wait to die. But no, there were no mistakes, everything was more perfect than his eager prayer, and it was incredibly smooth.

Lu Xiuyuan thought that this was God’s will. It was God who wanted him to live.

Therefore, when the helicopter had already flown out of the city, Professor Li responded to the rescuer’s name ‘Mr. Shen’ and when Lu Xunyuan met his shocked, disappointed and contradictory eyes, he backed off slowly.

He did nothing wrong. The rescue team was so anxious to retreat, even if he did not replace Shen Shian’s identity, they would not risk so much to go to the community to save people.

Shen Shian was safe at home, there was water and food, and bodyguards who personally protected him. Compared with other people, he has already had too many advantages. Since he was not in a life-threatening situation, why can’t he give this extra survival opportunity to other people?

If someone else was in his position and encountered the same situation as him, he would definitely make the same choice as him.

The helicopter had already flown so far away. Even if the rescue team found out that he is not Shen Shian, it was absolutely impossible to return to save people. Professor, I am also your student. My life is also a life. Do you really want to disassemble my lies at this time for a worthless truth?

He bet on it. Professor Li was silent for a long while, and he did not say anything after all. Just hang down the line of sight and never look at him again.

Lu Xiuyuan didn’t mind. He turned his eyes to the outside of the window. The matchbox-sized buildings quickly retreated, and the afterglow of the setting sun was warm and spectacular.

He was not particularly worried about seeing Shen Shian’s family after the helicopter’s landing. The captain of the rescue team told the vice-principal that the aircraft would take the researchers to the nearest military base, and the experimental equipment was already prepared in the base. Mr. Gu was far away from the capital, and it was impossible to go to the base through most of the Chinese countries on the third day after the virus broke out.

Even after discovering that his identity was false, what could he do? He had rescued him. Would he kill him for an unchangeable fact? He was willing to take the risk.

As long as he arrived at the base smoothly, he would be able to survive. Lu Xiuyuan looked at the beautiful sunset glow of the raging fire outside the window.

He just wanted to live.

When the three helicopters left H City, Shen Shian had already cleaned up the second floor of the library with more than 20 survivors.

The fourteen survivors with wounds had not mutated, proving that they were not wounded by zombies. The others had untied their bondage and restored their freedom. The man who was bitten by the zombies had turned into a zombie five hours ago, and was smashed by the glasses man.

So far, there were a total of fifty-four survivors in the library, including 19 women and 35 men. In addition to the child with Shen Shian, there was a 30-year-old mother who also brought a child who was much bigger than Shen Xun and seemed to be seven or eight years old.

A total of 54 survivors. Among them, only twenty-three people with Shen Shian went to the second floor to clean up zombies. Excluding two children, the other 28 people refused to participate in clean-up operations for various reasons.

The zombies on the second floor were significantly more numerous than the first floor, but relying on speed, responsiveness and cooperation with each other, 24 survivors successfully solved all zombies and no one was injured.

After jointly throwing the zombie body down from the second floor window, Shen Shian took the child to the bathroom on the second floor and finally found the opportunity to clean himself up. He was covered with a thick layer of cement slag and various ashes in the explosion caused by the crash of the passenger plane. After moving the bookshelves and solving the zombies, he was sweating again, so this time, his whole body were sticky and uncomfortable

Because of Shen Shian’s obsession with cleanliness, he couldn’t wait to get into the space and take a shower. He could wash from head to toe and could wear a clean and dry cloth. But obviously he couldn’t do this at the moment. He could only take a towel from the space by the cover of his backpack and wipe the place where he could after soaking with tap water. In the end, he couldn’t help it and simply rushed the water through his hair.

Shen Xun sat on the sink and shook his calf. He came out of the space after the explosion. He also had Shen Shian all the way to protect him. His body was very clean and he had the milk fragrance of the shower gel.

He was staring at Shen Shian and rubbing his hair. From outside the door came a person with glasses. He was the glasses man from before.

“He’s a lovely child,” the glasses man exaggerated Shen Xun, and then smiled and reached out his hand to Shen Shian, “I’ll introduce myself, my surname is Zhang, and I’m called Zhang Ze. May I ask this gentleman surname?”

Shen Shian folded the towel neatly, put it in the pocket on the side of the backpack, and said, “Shen.” The word are simple and indifferent. He did not shake his hand.

The glasses man didn’t seem to mind. He calmly put his hand back, washed his face and walked out of the bathroom. He even greeted Shen Shian before leaving. “I’m going out first, Mr. Shen. It’s not easy to take care of a child. If you need any help, let me know.”

He had just left and Shen Xun immediately said to Shen Shian, “I don’t like him.”

Shen Shian rubbed his head. Indifferently, he said, “I don’t like him either.”

It was not that the man who claimed to be Zhang Ze had anything to do with him, but the other person was too gentle. Whether it was the attitude to the other survivors, or the initiative to introduce his own name, he was really good at communication.

If it was before the outbreak of the virus, such a person must be very popular with rich people. Shen Shian didn’t have any doubts about him. However, in the current crisis and the worsening of the status quo, any unreasonable goodwill must be guarded against.

He was not sure what Zhang Ze was trying to do, or whether he had something in his mind, but if he didn’t bother me, then I wouldn’t bother him either. As long as the other party didn’t take the initiative, he didn’t mind getting along with the other party during the refuge in the library.

Shen Shian had just finished talking, and there was a very loud sound of “gulu gulu” from the child’s belly. The large ink jade eyes opened up wide, and he couldn’t help but smile, “Hungry?”

Shen Xun nodded.

After the meal that they had eaten before leaving home in the morning, the silly child had only eaten some desserts and ice creams during the collection of supplies in the mall all day. He had been hungry for a long time but he held himself and did not tell him.

Shen Shian was a little distressed. He took a vacuum-packed duck leg from his backpack and handed it to him, “Fill your stomach first.” Just as someone else walked into the bathroom, the thorn stick that leaned on the sink was inserted into the backpack. He then took the bag, hugged the child and went out.

The first floor was too close to the zombies, so most survivors moved up after the second floor was cleaned up. When Shen Shian took the child out of the bathroom, he could clearly feel that many eyes were staring at the duck legs in the hands of the child.
