Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Too Simple

The glass cabinet above reflected everything happening in the convenience store. 

 

"Let alone 17 days, the little things in the convenience store can not last even for two meals. But I want to make sure that nobody starves to death. I don't want to give the penguin what he wants. I know it will be difficult, but I still want to try it. Will you guys help me?"The green tea teacher spoke as he entered, and stopped in front of the counter.

 

Facing the principal and CEO with his back so they could not see his weird expressions.

 

Not only was it difficult, but it was also impossible.

 

There was simply not enough to share, not enough.

 

No amount of food in the convenience store would be enough for more than 2800 people to consume for seventeen days. 

 

Rong Qing Lin simply could not discern if this new teacher of theirs was too much of a green tea or if was he mentally retarded.

 

And the men behind him had the gall to show helpless and loving or 'as to be expected' expressions on their faces.

 

Rong Qing Lin really wanted to ask "Are you sure you're not blind?"

 

Not wanting to listen to any more of this nonsense, he carefully crawled to the door of the backrest area, opened the door with a light click, and carefully entered while trying to make the tiniest sound.

 

Thankfully, the ventilator fan was old and noisy, hiding the rustling voices made by the plastic bags. Plus, the fact that the other three occupants of the room were off in their own little world was a bonus.

 

In the back rest area, Rong Qing Lin found a few cardboard boxes with a 'Fruity' Logo.

 

Unpacking them revealed cans of peaches, lychees, apples, pineapples, and mangos.

 

Elated, he selected a few of each and stuffed them anywhere he could.

 

Rong Qing Lin now had enough food to sustain his physical fitness for several days. As long as he was not robbed, he wasn’t worried about starving to death.

 

But he could not let his guard down. If these hungry people can’t get the ones from the convenience store, then they will grab those of others. 

 

At this time no one will think that they are schoolmates, just to have food, to go as far as a robbery is excessive.

 

It was no longer just food, it was life. 

 

But robbery is still manageable. 

 

There are more monks and less porridge. If there is no more porridge, then you can only reduce the number of monks.There are more monks and less porridge means the demand is more than the supply.

 

They were trapped in the academy unable to enter or exit. Sooner or later, people will discover that the resources were limited and could not be increased. If they want to obtain more resources, they need to reduce the number of people.

 

And the way to reduce the number of people?

 

…Killing.

 

And what if there is no more food left?

 

Human meat was also meat.

 

It was edible.

 

But Rong Qing Lin didn't want to resort to cannibalism. 

 

Not because of morality or something noble like that. 

 

Or because of the disgust at eating the flesh of the same kind.

 

But because of the possibility of the infection, it may cause.

Getting to the convenience store was easy enough—

 

He had to abruptly cut his line of thought as he saw Lin Yi, Jin Yong and another of their classmates, Wang Jun coming in this direction.  

 

He ducked behind and secretly observed them.

 

Since Lin Yi is with Jin Yong and Wang Jun, he can assume that they are in a team in this game. In a fight against them, if he sneaks an attack he is sure he can kill Jin Yong in one go. 

 

Although Wand Jun has a bear-like physique, Rong Qing Lin had confidence that he could kill him with some effort. But if Lin Yi was with them, then, he was afraid things could get a little out of control.

 

When Lin Yi was close to the convenience store he suddenly raised his head and stared straight at one side of the building but there was nothing there.

 

Don't know what he saw there, he stopped in place, not coming in the range of the window’s view.

 

Instead, he went around the building and reached the back door.

 

“Lin-ge why are we entering through the back entrance?” 

 

Wang Jun’s loud voice could be heard from behind him.

 

Lin Yi only put his finger on his lips to indicate to them to be quiet.

 

Faint voices could be heard from the inside.

 

“Amazing!!! Lin-ge you knew there was someone inside even before you enter the convenience store! But why do we need  to hide from others?” Wang Jun whispered loudly.

 

Lin Yi did not look back but a smile tugged on his lips.

 

Rong Qing Lin stealthily entered the high school building through the emergency exit, and walked up the flight of stairs, to the art room on the fourth floor.

 

The art teacher’s surname was Zhang and she was a sweet, chibi teacher with a pleasant and caring personality. Since he liked to paint in the early mornings, Mrs Zhang gave him a duplicate key to the art room.

 

With a ‘click’ the door opened. 

 

The right wall was covered with shelves, while drawers and painted canvas aligned the left wall. The rooms were filled with clay sculptures, stools, easels and other various trinkets.

 

Rong Qing Lin set his bags on the table, took the keys from his pocket, unlocked the cupboard on the right and stuffed a bag inside.

 

Another he put on the topmost drawer. He kept one window open while the others were unlocked but shut. Locking the door, he walked to the library adjacent to the art room.

 

The library had some old steel bookshelves which could be locked individually. The librarian usually keeps old or wasted newspapers in black bags just like the ones he has. 

 

Rong Qing Lin selected the third to last shelf on the last row. He opened the bottommost shelf with a creaking rusty noise and squeezed his last bag in.

 

 He searched the reference desk for the keys to the 25-21-4 shelf, locked the shelf and took the keys with him.

 

Now, on to the next step. Where can I find these damn cards? Since the cards are so important there must be some requirements for acquiring them. They might have to have a certain amount of kill quota. Or are………… Huh?

 

Huuh?

 

Huuuuuuuuuhhhh?????????? 

 

As he descended the stairs and exited the building through the back exit, he saw a………card floating in mid-air right in front of him.

 

Sometimes, things are simpler than you think.

 

"But isn’t this too simple?"

 

A single leaf fluttered through the air in front of him.
