I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

Director of Education Zhu Tao was quite shocked to learn that Cui Xiaofei had suddenly appeared. Of course, when he came to the martial arts school as the director of education, Cui Xiaofei was no longer at the school.

He just knew a little more of the inside story.

It was all told to him by the principal.

...

Office.

"Xiaofei, are you hungry? If you are, I can have someone prepare some food for you." Duan Chenghu asked with concern.

Cui Xiaofei replied, "Principal, there's no need to trouble yourself. I'm not hungry. Even though it's the apocalypse now, I can still manage to feed myself."

Duan Chenghu said, "Indeed, I'm well aware of your capabilities."

To be honest, Duan Chenghu was genuinely happy to see Cui Xiaofei. The kind of joy that comes from the heart is something that cannot be hidden.

"Brother Cui, you met me before. Why don't I have any memory of it?" Duan Yi asked curiously.

Cui Xiaofei smiled and said, "Because you were little at the time, and the principal was busy with school matters, it was usually me who took care of you. You were just about that big, and it was me who fed you milk powder and changed your diapers. By the time I left, you were already five or six years old. Your appearance has changed, but your essence hasn't."

Upon hearing this.

Duan Yi blushed. These were things from his childhood, and having them brought out clearly made him very shy.

"Xiaofei, why did you suddenly leave without saying goodbye back then?" Duan Chenghu still didn't know the reason and had tried various connections to find Xiaofei's whereabouts but to no avail.

Cui Xiaofei said, "There were some problems at home."

"You should have told me if there were problems. Why just leave?" Duan Chenghu couldn't understand. He truly valued Xiaofei, the most outstanding student he had encountered since founding the school. He had even considered, if his own children couldn't take over, entrusting the school to Xiaofei to lead it to prosperity.

He was aware that Cui Xiaofei came from a divorced family, brought by his mother, who was an ordinary woman pinning all her hopes on her child.

Cui Xiaofei saying there were problems at home, could it be that his mother had an accident?

"Principal, there are some things only I can resolve, but it's okay now. Everything that needed solving has been handled. Back then, my mom had a dispute with someone and was beaten to death. I went to avenge her and killed the person, then went to prison."

As he said this, he appeared very calm, without any emotional fluctuation, as if talking about a trivial matter.

Everyone present stared blankly at Cui Xiaofei.

Duan Chenghu stood with his mouth open, truly unaware of this incident, and even more unaware that his beloved disciple had gone through such an ordeal.

"Oh, you should've come to me, come to me." Duan Chenghu knew his disciple's personality — payback for grievances, gratitude for kindness, with a distinctly martial manner.

"Principal, it's all in the past. I've let it go. There's nothing to hang on to. I always thought of this place and just came to take a look. I thought I'd encounter trouble, but it's developing better than I imagined." Cui Xiaofei said, already noticing many students were Awakeners.

Duan Chenghu said, "We also owe it to Lin Fan of Sunshine Shelter in Huangshi. He's given us many crystals to enhance the abilities of your juniors. He even left us his number; if we face danger, we can call him, and he'll come as soon as possible."

Upon hearing the name 'Lin Fan,' Cui Xiaofei's heart stirred slightly but appeared very natural.

"I've heard the name and read the Zombie Album, truly a remarkable individual in the apocalypse." Cui Xiaofei said.

"Yes, his presence has given endless confidence to many who survive in the apocalypse." Duan Chenghu nodded, then continued, "Xiaofei, why don't you stay here? This is your home; it's too dangerous outside, no need to take risks."

Cui Xiaofei smiled but didn't answer directly, instead changing the topic to chat about other things.

...

Sunshine Shelter in Huangshi.

At the bridge.

"Oh my God, this Corpse Ball is insanely huge."

Zhu Cheng stared at the Corpse Ball rolling in from the distance, somewhat dumbfounded.

Old Zhong's mouth hung open, "Yeah, anyone in the past would be baffled seeing something like this. Just how on earth did a Corpse Ball decide to come our way?"

Ye Qian propped up a sniper rifle, casually aiming at the distant Corpse Ball, firing a few shots. The Spirit Bullets hit the Corpse Ball but were utterly useless. Against such a behemoth, individual strength felt utterly insignificant.

Of course, they were not the least bit panicked, looking to the side where Lin Fan stood, steady like a Guardian God beside them.

If they were afraid of even this, it'd indeed be disgraceful.

Lin Fan stroked his chin, "I think it might have just rolled over here randomly, but its size is truly intimidating, at least ten times larger than the ones I've destroyed before. It really is a colossus."

"This scene needs to be documented."

He said and then picked up a camera, taking a few shots of the Corpse Ball.

At the center of the Corpse Ball was a Lord Zombie.

Rating fifty, with a red crystal.

Can you say such a zombie isn't formidable? Its danger level might indeed be second only to the Creator.

"Brother Lin, recently you've been bringing back a lot of crystals. Have you cleared out many zombies?" Zhu Cheng curiously asked.
