Chapter 540 - 9.10 Strip
"W–Wait a moment!" Just as Lu Yizhou was going to take a step forward, a middle aged man in a wrinkled suit suddenly rushed out of the crowd, slammed the collapsible door closed and latched the lock, effectively trapping Lu Yizhou inside!
Everyone’s eyes turned to him in shock. Zhao Bolin finally tore his gaze off the other and raised a brow toward the middle aged man. "Professor Lou?"
Professor Lou, who taught Biotechnology Law and also the one who hesitated to offer help earlier today, was firmly guiding the door with his body. In his fifties, his hairline was so thin that it was almost bald, looking especially shiny due to the faint sheen of sweat. "I–It’s not safe! Look at him!" At the professor’s cue, everyone’s eyes shifted to Lu Yizhou. "He has just come from the neighboring building. Not only that, he has fought a lot of zombies. What if he’s already infected by the virus? One scratch... one scratch was enough to change a person! If we let him in, then he will infect all of us!"
Everyone abruptly turned silent, their earlier excitement dampened like being doused by a bucket of cold water. What Professor Lou said made sense. Just now, they could not properly look at Lu Yizhou due to the far distance. It was not until now that they realized how ghastly his complexion was. His shirt was splattered with a lot of blood and to be honest, he did not look like someone who could go through that crowd of undead unscratched...
The students looked at each other in apprehension. They wanted to save as many people as possible but... if that could cost their lives as well...
A man with short black hair suddenly spoke, "You..." His gaze roamed all over Lu Yizhou’s body in doubt. "Are you injured?"
"Li Zhu," the person beside him whispered. "Even if you ask him that, it’s not like he will admit it!"
Due to Lu Yizhou’s enhanced senses, he was able to hear each word loud and clear. He shifted his gaze to the man who had just spoken. So this was the protagonist of this world, Li Zhu. He was a baby-faced man with gentle brows and clear black eyes. No wonder he was the world’s shou. He had the kind of soft aura like a meek animal that made anyone want to protect him.
Unfortunately... meek animals were the perfect prey for predators.
