Chapter 561

“How did you even run into them?” Johny’s face darkened.

Sydney lowered her head. “We were all on the fourth floor. We brought them in when the zombie wave hit.”

That only made things worse.

“I told you not to expose our secret!”

“And you actually saved the person who hit Mr. Ortega? What were you thinking?” The girl in the middle snapped, disgu written all over her face.

“Trina, that’s enough,” Marvin cut in. “They didn’t mean to.”

“Mr. Ortega, you always defend them. That’s why they keep dragging us into trouble. This isn’t the first time. Remember last group that broke in? They tried to help them, too. We almost all got killed!”

“Don’t bring up stuff from the past! None of us had experience back then. We all thought they were good people.”

“And today’s any better? Get fooled once, fine. Twice? That’s just stupid!”

“Trina, I don’t like that attitude.”

Trina Carpenter’s eyes turned red instantly. She let out a sharp huff, something bitter flashing across her face, then spun a stormed off.

“Trina!”

“Trina!”

Johny and another boy called after her. The second boy ran after her down the stairs.

Andrew and the others stood there like kids who had just gotten called into the principal’s office, their heads hung low.

“Mr. Ortega… We’re sorry.”

“We won’t do it again.”

“No.” Marvin’s voice was steady this time.

“You didn’t do anything wrong.

“The world’s already bad enough. If people stop helping each other, humanity’s done. As long as vou a fan protect yourselver and it doesn’t put everyone at risk, helping someone isn’t a mistake

“You’re young. You’re the future I don’t want you growing up thinking this world only belongs to cold, selfish survivors

The students nodded, eyes serious

Sydney glanced at Hayley and Grifin

“What about them?”

Marvin stepped forward, subtly shielding the kids betond hun His gaze sharpened

“What are you here for?”

“Zombies,” Hayley said simply

“Zombies?” he repeated

Only then did Marvin seem to notice how much quieter the campus tell There were fewer of them now

+15 Bo

“You’ve got a Zombie King here, right?” Hayley continued. “Where is it? What gifts does it have? Have you fought it before?”

She didn’t bother hiding her intent. She had come here to find the high–level zombie.

If anyone knew about it, it would be the people who had been living here. They could provide a lot of useful information. The more she understood about her enemies before making a move, the better.

So, without hesitation, she stated her objective outright.

Marvin’s eyes lit up in surprise. “You’re hunting it?”
