I haven’t finished fighting the battle in Volume 3! Chapter 38: Women are weak, but strong as teachers
The Third Primary School of Gangdong Town was a boarding school before the apocalypse. Although the zombie virus broke out during the summer vacation, the teachers' summer classes were all held in the school, and most of the students still took tutoring classes here. Some parents complained about this, thinking that the teachers took up their children's leisure time, but more parents were happy about it, because someone could look after their children for them and they could go to work and earn money.
It’s okay to pay some tutoring fees, it’s much better than hiring a nanny to look after the children at home every day.
Then a zombie virus broke out and all the students and teachers were trapped in the school.
Dormitory No. 3 had its main door locked tightly from the inside with an iron chain. A large amount of furniture was piled up at the door, completely blocking the front entrance to the dormitory building. A thin female teacher was holding a large basin with freshly steamed rice in it. Although the color was a little yellow, it still smelled fragrant, just a little moldy.
It's hard to tell how the female teacher's appearance would rate her. She looks dirty, has prominent cheekbones, and not much flesh on her face. She walks a little unsteadily.
She lifted her messy bangs and patted the wall in the corridor, "Dongdongdong~!"
"Students, it's time to eat, get up quickly!"
The voice is hoarse, but there is an indescribable texture that makes people feel comfortable listening to it.
There was a rustling sound in the dormitory on this floor. Soon, little black-faced people came out of the dormitory with lunch boxes, with surprised smiles on their faces, "Teacher He, there is rice! I want a big bowl!"
The woman called Teacher He took a shovel and scooped a spoonful for the black-faced kid who ran the fastest: "One spoonful for each person, no one can eat more, otherwise the other students won't have enough!"
"Hey, teacher, let me tell you!"
The little black-faced boy didn't stop. After he finished serving, he carried the rice bowl back to the dormitory. After one little black-faced boy after another had finished serving, the whole bowl of rice was empty. He Xiao covered his protesting stomach and sighed softly, muttering, "Hey, there's not much food left..."
At this time, the last little black-faced girl came over and handed the remaining half of the rice in the bowl to the female teacher, "Teacher He... I don't want to eat anymore. I'll give it to you. Look at you, you've become so thin because of hunger!"
He Xiao squatted and served more than 50 servings of rice. He was so tired that he couldn't even straighten his back. He slowly stood up with the help of the wall, "Xiao Mei, the teacher is not hungry. You should eat quickly. This is the only meal for today. After eating, lie down early and don't move around!"
"Teacher, please eat. I'm really not hungry. I... I'm so full that I want to poop. I'm going to the toilet!"
The girl put her rice bowl on the ground and ran out. He Xiao looked at the half portion of rice, which was only enough for an adult to eat two big mouthfuls, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. "What a good child... You shouldn't have to endure this..."
He Xiao picked up the rice, scooped a mouthful into her mouth and chewed slowly. The unique aroma of rice with a hint of moldy smell poured into her taste buds. Her brain had already ignored the fact that it was moldy, and kept urging her to eat faster and faster...
The stomach that hadn't eaten for a long time made an excited "gurgling" sound.
A little black-faced boy suddenly jumped out from the dormitory next door, "Teacher... I'm not full, I'm still so hungry, I can't sleep..."
The little black-faced boy is He Xiao's student. He was a fat boy before the end of the world. His parents took him to eat fried chicken and hamburgers every day. He had a big appetite, but after 5 months, he has become like other children, a skinny monkey. He Xiao looked at the big mouthful of rice and sighed, "Here, the teacher is full, you eat it!"
The young man came over happily and wolfed down the food with a few big mouthfuls of food. "Eat slowly..."
After finishing his meal, the student licked his bowl and asked, "Teacher, when will the police come to rescue us? I want to eat a hamburger... I also want... my parents, why don't they come to find me, wuwuwu~!"
As he was talking, Xiaosheng started to cry. He was not a strong child to begin with.
He Xiao held Xiaosheng in his arms, stroked his hair and said, "It's almost there...it's almost there...just hold on for a few more days!"
She says this every time.
After carrying the crying student into the dormitory, He Xiao patted the wall and said, "Students, stop talking and go to sleep. Otherwise, you will be hungry again. The teacher will call you next time we eat!"
He Xiao walked upstairs step by step, looking at the last half bag of yellow rice and a bucket of water by the wall, "Principal...Uncle Yu...Brother Jiang...Brother Qiu, you are all gone, and I am the only one left..."
In He Xiao's dry and red eyes... memories fell like a waterfall...
The apocalypse broke out, and the school was filled with panic, fear, and terror. However, out of instinct, the teachers who had not turned into zombies took the students to the dormitory, and then they sealed off the place. Fortunately, this was a boarding school, and the students brought some food with them. The bottled water in the dormitory could last for a while, but a month later, the food was out, and several strong male teachers suggested going out through the back door and moving food to the canteen not far behind. They opened the way to the canteen and brought back life-saving food and water, but they also paid the price of their lives. Two male teachers were bitten by zombies, and before they turned into zombies, they moved the food to the dormitory, and then jumped into the school's tourist lake...
After several attempts, He Xiao was the only one left.
She is a college student who graduated this year and came here to work as a special-post teacher. Because she is the youngest and most innocent, she has always been taken care of by everyone. The principal went to the well outside to fetch a few buckets of water and was bitten by a zombie. Before he turned into a zombie, he pushed the buckets of water over and asked her to survive with the students until the government rescued her.
She has survived until now relying on the food and water that so many teachers risked their lives to get .
He Xiao hugged his legs and squatted in front of a half bag of rice. He looked at the radio in front of him and tears flowed down his face. "The government... has not yet told us where the rescue site is in Q City. Principal, Uncle Yu, Brother Jiang, Brother Qiu, I can't stand it anymore... These poor children only have one last meal left!"
The heavy burden on He Xiao's shoulders made her breathless. Before the end of the world, she was also a young girl who had just graduated!
Before she came to school, her mother stuffed a lot of her favorite snacks into her bag and told her repeatedly to take good care of herself.
In her parents' eyes, she is still a child.
Now that she has to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, it's a miracle that she didn't collapse. This is all thanks to the determined looks in everyone's eyes when they handed the child to her.
Suddenly, He Xiao’s eyes went dark. She hadn’t eaten for several days and had suffered from hypoglycemia several times. Now she was about to... go into shock.
She struggled to get up and began to regret not eating one more mouthful of rice. At least she had to hold on until she finished steaming the last pot of rice for her child before she collapsed!
“Get up…get up quickly!”
He Xiao struggled to walk to the bucket, hoping to drink some water to relieve the pain, but she no longer had the strength...
“Bang!”
He Xiao fell to the ground, and the water in the bucket spilled all over the floor. "It's over... the child's last meal is gone!"
…
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
“Bang!”
He Xiao, who was confused by self-blame, seemed to hear a collision outside the dormitory. Could it be that zombies came in?
Thinking of her 55 poor students, He Xiao felt heartbroken, but she was dying...
She was starving to death.
"Third brother! There are living people here! They are all students!"
"How many people?"
“55 students!”
"There is a fainted woman upstairs. She doesn't look like a zombie and is still alive!"
"The advancement mission is temporarily suspended. Take the children, carry the woman on your back, and return to Homeland No. 1!"
"yes!"
Number One...Home?
Although he didn't know where, He Xiao knew that he and the children should be... saved.
In a daze, she felt something stuffed in her mouth... something sticky.
I chewed it subconsciously and swallowed it, oh!
It’s eight-treasure porridge.
