Chapter 9: 9

“If I told you I found this vehicle by the roadside, would you have believed me?”

Crowe calmly responded to Marina’s curiosity. His tone sounded natural, as if he was telling the truth. However, they naturally didn’t believe him. When Joan first noticed the van, there weren’t any traces of other vehicles. But now, the van that was supposed to be parked next to the convenience store was replaced by this vehicle that Crowe was driving. It was hard to decide on whether Crowe’s explanation was true. However, if Crowe insisted on his explanation, there was nothing she could do about it.

Although Joan was only a student, she was proficient in computers and was smart. She knew that everyone had secrets. If she delved deeper, she wouldn’t be able to discover it, and it may even backfire on her. If that happened, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Although she had yet to personally witness Crowe’s powerful combat strength, from Marina’s reaction and how the terrifying zombies turned into corpses in a short period of time, it was not difficult to see how powerful Crowe was. Although she has a certain level of combat skills, she was far from being able to take down zombies as fast and easily as Crowe did. Staying with Crowe was definitely the safest choice in this environment where there was no aid from the government forces.

Marina too, saw that Crowe’s words were perfunctory, but there was nothing she could do about it. She was an adult, so she naturally knew how to get along with others. Moreover, Joan, Sean and herself were relying on Crowe. She was obviously not close to Crowe, and wouldn’t be wise to continue asking.

“But… But… there shouldn’t be any other vehicles around…” The two women understood the situation and wisely stopped asking about it. However, Sean, who was oblivious to the atmosphere, continued and spoke intermittently.

“Maybe I missed it. We should be considered lucky that Crowe was able to find a better vehicle,” Joan said in a timely manner.

She didn’t expect Sean to be so oblivious to the atmosphere. She wasn’t close to Sean, nor were they friends. They had just recently met, right after Marina led her into the study room.

“But the van is gone…” Sean didn’t stop and continued probing. Before he could finish, Marina interrupted him.

“It doesn’t matter. What matters is that we survived.

“It’s my fault for bringing up the topic. I had just escaped the danger of zombies, and now I’m in such a safe vehicle. I let my guard down and asked meaningless questions.” As she said that, Marina looked at Crowe nervously. She didn’t want to get on Crowe’s bad side because of Sean. She didn’t expect that Sean, who was quiet before, would suddenly have so many questions.

After meeting Marina’s gaze for a second, Crowe turned to Sean. This time, Sean did not say anything. Under Crowe’s gaze, he lowered his head.

“Speaking of which, when you were at cafe just now, didn’t you know that a little movement like that could have killed you?

“You’re lucky to be safe.” Crowe ignored Sean. He wasn’t someone who deserved his full attention. Hearing Crowe’s words, Joan and Marina glanced at Sean, who was still lowering his head.

“It was you who made the noise.” Crowe raised his eyebrows.

It turned out that the sneeze was also caused by Sean.

“I-I…” Sean was not confident enough to say anything.

“If you suddenly drop the ball and cause everyone to suffer in the future, should I kick you out?”

Crowe, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, changed from a sideways position to a complete turn towards Sean. He supported himself on the back of his seat with both hands and leaned forward, looking straight at Sean.

“No, no… the dust made me sneeze. I didn’t do it on purpose! Don’t leave me behind!” Sean panicked upon hearing Crowe’s question. All his emotions were written on his face. If he was left behind and with his abilities, it was questionable whether he could survive to see another day. 

“Crowe, Sean had learned his lesson. Please forgive him.” Marina quickly added in.

As a teacher, she didn’t want to see Sean being expelled by Crowe. If that happened, based on her understanding of Sean’s ability, he would definitely not survive. However, Crowe did not respond.

For a moment, the air in the vehicle quieted down.

Just when Joan and Marina thought that Sean was going to be eliminated…

“… I see.” Crowe turned around and sat back in his seat. He did not fully intend to get rid of Sean, but he needed Sean to learn his place. 

After being startled by Crowe, Sean would not be speaking nonsense again in the future. Sean was just as Crowe had expected. He had let his guard down because he had survived the disaster and was in the safe space in the vehicle. Now, he was back to being silent. This was just a small episode and it didn’t affect Crowe at all.

The zombies around the convenience store and the vicinity of the cafe were attracted by the sound of his armored vehicle. He proceeded and drove the armored vehicle to crush them. The zombies in this vicinity should have been completely exterminated by now, but even so, they could not stay here forever.

Most of the people in the school had already turned into zombies. The number of people who had been killed by him just now numbered in the hundreds. However, there should be quite a number of people like Joan, Marina, and the others who survived. They were either hiding alone, or in groups somewhere. 

“Crowe.” While Crowe was thinking, he heard a clear voice in his ear.

He turned his head to look at Joan, whose features were as delicate as a doll.

“What’s the matter?”

“There, someone seems to be calling for help.” Joan pointed to a direction outside the front window of the vehicle.

Although the small episode earlier made the atmosphere between them a bit awkward, she could tell that Crowe was just warning Sean that he shouldn’t make such a mistake again. She did not have a good impression of Sean, who had almost caused her and Marina to suffer from guilt but Crowe’s actions were not wrong. 

Although she was shocked by Crowe’s strength and the sudden appearance of such an armored vehicle, she did not harbor any fear towards Crowe. She would still say what she should normally say.

“Someone is calling for help?”

Following Joan’s guidance, Crowe looked forward as well. Through the bulletproof glass of the armored vehicle, he saw a dormitory building. He wasn’t unfamiliar with this dormitory building. If it was before the apocalypse, this dormitory building would have been crowded with male students on the outside, as this was the female dormitory building. 

At this moment, a young girl was standing at a window on the third floor, waving her slender arms at them..
