Chapter 338: In the Midst of Crisis_2



Here, there were dozens of students and a few teachers, their faces still displaying the fright they had endured, yet they all firmly believed that they had reached safety upon arriving at this place.

According to others, this was directly beneath the new teaching building. When the school constructed this building, due to some issues, this subterranean space, originally intended for unknown purposes, was left behind.

This area had been sealed off except for the sewer entrances and exits; there were no other accessible routes.

And those entrances were impenetrable to the monsters; likewise, the monsters were unable to detect this concealed space.

So staying here was safe.

In such circumstances, people, having no other choice, could only continue to live here for the time being and even feel fortunate to have found such a hiding place nearby; it was certainly better than death.

However, this sense of gratitude for having survived rapidly evaporated over time.

The threat of death... once again loomed over everyone.

The issue of food was a serious problem that nobody could ignore... Within this sealed underground space, there was virtually no means of obtaining food.

Therefore, the sounds of complaint grew day by day.

Yet no one was willing to go out in search of food because the outside was swarming with monsters; stepping outside was akin to courting death, hence no one wanted to venture out.

Even when suggestions for cooperation were made, no one responded.

Luo Muyao, who had initiated this suggestion, even faced disdain and insults from others; they accused Muyao of being selfish, wanting everyone to die together.

But this was the method with the highest chance of success. Besides this, all other methods had almost no hope. Even if it meant death, and the outcome was the same, why not take a chance? Even though there would be sacrifices, it was better than waiting to die together.

Still, despite this, everyone remained unwilling to undertake the task. They feared that the one who might die would be themselves, so they preferred everyone to perish together rather than make sacrifices.

After facing vehement opposition and understanding people's sentiments, Muyao fell silent and refrained from persuading further.

Yet this was a problem that had to be resolved, so the people immediately thought of an age-old solution: assign ranks to everyone, then delegate the undesirable tasks to those of the lowest rank.

The teachers, who were fewer in number, became everyone's target.

People burst forth, forcefully demanding that the teachers go out to find food, asserting that as adults and as educators, it was their obligation to help everyone.

Everyone feared the monsters, but that didn't mean they feared their fellow humans.

The teachers were naturally unwilling, but being outnumbered by the students and facing the same deadly threat, they had no choice but to capitulate reluctantly.

Later, having realized the situation was unchangeable, the teachers adopted a self-righteous demeanor, provoking laughter from others.

Then... inevitably, only a few teachers, unsupported by anyone, failed in their task. Only one teacher returned, dragging his body, which was battered and riddled with wounds, barely alive.

Fortunately, he brought back some food; unfortunately, it was just a little bit.

This time, no one could laugh.

The students split into several factions, fighting and resorting to shameless tactics, thoroughly exposing their true faces.

However, that little bit of food was also insufficient for the victors; this time... conflicts erupted among those few winners over the allocation issues.

No matter how many distribution methods were proposed, no agreement could be reached.

The gut-wrenching pain, as if perforating holes through everyone's stomachs, tormented each person.

The sense of despair elicited moans of complaint and roars of anger from everyone.

Why even bother rescuing the half-dead teacher, wouldn't it be better to let him find relief sooner?

Knowing this, they should not have allowed so many people inside in the first place!

Such views continuously erupted.

The past morals and kindness were undoubtedly burdens at this moment.

And as Muyao watched these people, although she too felt that in order to survive, one might resort to any means, she ultimately found them repulsive, and thus... she chose to remain silent.

Then, after hearing other girls constantly making pig-like snorts during the night and realizing that people would never unite and only continued forcing group after group to their deaths without ever managing to secure more food, and mysteriously receiving meat of unknown origin and seeing others feast on it, she could no longer bear it.

From this, she couldn't help but consider, even at such a critical juncture, people still couldn't unite and would continue to act foolishly out of selfish desires...

Humans, unrestrained by rules and already free in a sense, were so grotesque.

... Are humans truly beyond redemption?

Muyao found it difficult to conclude the answer to this question, but there was one thing she could confirm; she could no longer stay in this place which was safe but populated with people.
