Class Teacher System-Chapter 106: Save the Savior (12)

When the Daoist priest saw everyone looking at him, he didn’t hesitate to speak about the earlier events, “Although many zombies came inside the walls at the beginning, this is still a mid-sized base. After everyone reacted, many ability users came and killed zombies. I saw as the dozens of zombies who had rushed in were almost all killed. Suddenly, outside the wall, I saw a very strange… zombie. It seemed like it still had its IQ and own ideas; it was neatly dressed. If this was a person, such clothes wouldn’t be odd, but this was a zombie.”

The young Daoist priest pursed his lips, “Right after he arrived, I paid attention to him. I thought he would bring some sort of misfortune. Then, I saw him suddenly whistle at all of the zombies. Those zombies who were originally suppressed by the ability users became wildly violent again. At the time, I thought that zombie might be the leader, but then I saw all of the ability users’ movements suddenly slow down. Then, the lower level ability users started to turn and attack their compatriots. Higher level ability users were able to keep themselves from being controlled to attack their compatriots, but they couldn’t also fight those violent zombies.

“I just know that the zombie, perhaps, has some method of psychic attack to take control.”

Everyone couldn’t help but imagine that scene and felt it was a scene that was especially bloody and grief-provoking.

“As I saw that zombie howl again, I rushed up and hit him. But, even if I exploded the talisman my master gave me, I couldn’t injure him seriously. Meanwhile, I was injured seriously,” the young Daoist priest’s expression was dark and gloomy. “If Yu Xiao-shidi hadn’t come to help, I think I would have died by that zombie’s hands.”

A youth by the Daoist priest’s side quickly shook his head, “Shixiong, you can’t speak like that! If you hadn’t injured that strange zombie, none of us would be alive. Master has already passed away, you are the only legitimate successor left to our Mount Longhu. Nothing must happen to you!”

The young Daoist priest sighed and looked at Ren Zhu and the others, “This is what I know. I don’t know if this is helpful to you.”

Ren Zhu nodded, “It’s a big help. We at least know how this base was breached. This isn’t a good place to stay for long; you all can follow us back to the Yuan City base. If you are a very powerful Daoist priest, you can teach some of the Daoist methods of cultivation to everyone. It can also be regarded as giving merit to everyone.”

The young Daoist priest thought for a moment, then nodded, “I am Zhao Tianfu.”

Tianfu. It was a very fitting Daoist name.

After that, Ren Zhu took Zhao Tianfu and the others down from the base’s main building. Maybe that psychic ability zombie had already left; there weren’t many high-level zombies in the entire base. Ren Zhu and the others reached the center square quickly and the other three groups also returned one by one. Among them, Crew Cut, Old Huo, and Little Xue were in the best state of mind. After all, they had already worked alongside each other for a long time. Even if they weren’t the strongest ability users, their offensive cooperation could keep them out of many dangers. On the contrary, it was the team made up of Lei Long and his teammate, who came with two women and one man, who were in the most disarray. Unexpectedly, Lei Long’s teammate’s right arm was missing. The two women and one man were pale, their expressions hesitant.

“What happened?!” Crew Cut and the others quickly went to Lei Long’s teammate’s side. The face of the teammate who had lost his arm was pale; Old Ding swiftly stepped forward and activated his healing ability. This was the first time they had seen the healing ability at work; everyone standing around watched earnestly. Everyone watched as the wound on the injured ability user’s shoulder slowly stopped bleeding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and became manageable. It was just not completely fine.

“Old Qi, let’s go together next time, okay? I’ll need to use my ability on this wound again,” said Old Ding. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎ｌ.𝚘ｒｇ

The injured Old Qi nodded, “Thank you, xiongdi.” After he said this, he turned to look at the two women and man with a cold look in his eyes. He said directly, “Next time I won’t go with those three to do any task. Captain Lei, regardless of whether or not you believe my words, you must be careful when you interact with them.”

Lei Long’s expression appeared quite serious. He looked at the three people gathered together, then lowered his eyes without speaking.

Although he didn’t speak, others couldn’t stand his silence. The two women among those three people couldn’t bear it, “How are you this vicious?! At that time, I was just unable to help you in time, a zombie was attacking me right then, too! Without my own life, I can’t save you, can I?”

“Lu-jiejie is right, at that time we were all too busy fending for ourselves to help anyone else; we really had no way to help you! Besides, Wei-ge carried you after. If it wasn’t for Wei-ge carrying you, right now you’d be missing much more than an arm!”

“Alright Lingling, leave it alone. Qi-ge is injured and isn’t in a good frame of mind. We’re alright, let’s have some restraint.”

Qi-ge’s expression turned even colder. He believed that the cycle of divine retribution was unfailing. He would just wait for these people who deliberately used him as a shield to get their comeuppance!

“… Let’s not talk about this now, did you rescue any people?” Captain Lei Long watched as the atmosphere became very tense, and took the initiative to turn the subject of conversation in a different direction.

Ren Zhu caught his intent and nodded, “We found more than ten people and we know how the base was breached.”

On the other side, there were also five or six people following Fatty Jin, Liu Mingqing, and the others. “We found people over here, too. But, with the situation at the time, if I hadn’t run away quickly, I think I would’ve become a ghost under the mouth of a zombie.”

Zhao Tianfu told everyone what he had seen before. When the ability users heard “suspected third-level psychic zombie,” they couldn’t help but be worried in their hearts. They all couldn’t help but imagine, if this occurred at the Yuan City base, how would the base be able to withstand this zombie? Though they all thought for a while, no one could think of a surefire method.

“Crew Cut, you turn on the contactor and report the situation to the base. It will at least let those at the base be on guard. If the researchers can develop equipment to withstand psychic control, then that’s best. Otherwise, no matter how strong a fortress is, it cannot withstand that kind of zombie.

Crew Cut held the contactor and gave a report.

Afterward, Lei Long led everyone around the base to search. They found about a dozen more survivors in poor condition; they couldn’t find any more. That night, Lei Long had everyone search for a large bus to drive southwest toward another base.

On the road, Ren Zhu leaned on Yi Xiao’s very stiff shoulder. He suddenly asked, “Do you think any of these people seem like the Savior?”

King Yi’s closed and resting eyes opened at once. His eyes brightened and his brows furrowed, seemingly seriously pondering for some time. He then made a circle in the air with his finger and ended by pointing at himself.

His meaning was clear, ‘I am the Savior.’

Ren Zhu, “…” Even if the system short-circuited, it’s not possible for you to be the Savior. Look in the mirror, with your looks, you look like a villain!

Ren Zhu gloomily rolled his eyes and didn’t say any more. According to reason, anyone who is qualified to go on this sort of mission has some skill, and the people on this team are the best of the best. However, he still couldn’t find someone he thought could be the Savior from among these people. Everyone had a little likeness, but no one had a complete likeness.

Soon, it would be a month since he came to this world, but his mission progress was still stuck at zero. This was something that really depressed people. Ren Zhu tsked when he thought of this and reached forward to tap Mao Gancao and Gou Jianfei. After waiting for these two youngsters to turn around, Ren Zhu asked them, “Do you think any of the people we’re with seem like the Savior?

On hearing this, the two youngsters were confused. They thought to themselves, ‘Dage, what? Why are you suddenly asking about the Savior?’

However, on seeing Ren Zhu’s earnest expression, Mao Gancao first responded, “I think Daoist priest Zhao is very strong, he can hit a third-level psychic zombie. The level of his strength should put him in the top ten of those suspected to be the Savior. Also, he’s a Daoist priest, perhaps Daoist priests have some secret weapon? In addition, Captain Lei is also very strong. Although I haven’t seen his skill myself, thunder cracked over another area of the base earlier and that should have been his skill.”

“Um, generally Saviors aren’t that old, according to the standard method. I think the possibility of it being Little Jin is a bit higher. You see, that kid is thirteen years old, but he doesn’t seem thirteen at all. He’s full of thoughts but doesn’t speak them, he plays with machines, and he could also possibly activate a gold ability. This is all proper treatment for a protagonist!” Gou Jianfei spoke following Mao Gancao’s words and Ren Zhu thought earnestly on their words.

Just as Ren Zhu was about to turn most of his attention onto Jin Yu and Zhao Tianfu, Mao Gancao and Gou Jianfei suddenly both said, “But dage! We think the people most likely to be the Savior are you and Yi-ge!”

Ren Zhu laughed, “Us?”

“Yes! Think about it dage, before the apocalypse, you two already had a different premonition than others. After the start of the apocalypse, your abilities were much better than other people’s. Da-ge, that psychic ability zombie is too capable, but you also have a psychic ability; aren’t you the natural enemy of that zombie, then? Not to mention Yi Xiao-dage, he could kill a third level zombie in one punch. There’s no one like him before and there won’t be since. You two, one at the peak of one ability, the other at the top of another, are strong and strong combined. If that doesn’t describe the Savior, what would?!”

Ren Zhu heard this and felt a bit muddled. These two kids’ words were very reasonable; unexpectedly, there was nothing he could say in reply. If it was like this, what was “Save the Savior?” Did it mean for him and Yi Xiao to save themselves?! This was too unscientific!
