After the monsters finished devouring Xiao Qianqian's body, suddenly, the corridor outside fell silent.
"Huh? What happened? Why did it suddenly go quiet?"
"Did those monsters already leave?"
"We're saved! I want to go home, I want to find my mom!"
The students looked at each other, mistakenly thinking they had survived.
However, they all stayed where they were, not daring to move.
Each of them stared at Chen Jie.
From what they had learned earlier, if they wanted to survive now, they had to rely on Chen Jie.
Chen Jie leaned toward the small window on the door.
Through the glass, he could clearly see that Xiao Qianqian had already been completely devoured.
Only a pool of blood remained on the ground.
Those monsters, at this moment, were all strangely crouched in place.
Trembling, as if afraid of something.
Normally, after devouring Xiao Qianqian, their next target should have been the people inside the classroom.
Not remaining where they were.
What exactly was going on?
Chen Jie was also puzzled.
Because in his previous life, when the apocalypse broke out, he had not been at school.
So he was unsure about what would happen next.
He even felt a growing sense of danger.
"Chen Jie, what's happening outside?"
Xia Wanrou asked.
She tightly gripped her longsword, ready to rush out first to protect Chen Jie at any moment.
Chen Jie turned to glance at her and shook his head.
"Not sure yet. Don't move. Let's observe first."
As soon as he finished speaking, movement began outside the classroom.
Step.
Step.
Step.
…
Strange footsteps approached the classroom one step at a time.
Each step felt like it was striking the hearts of everyone present.
"Classmates, come out and play!"
"I've been waiting for you for so long. I'm willing to share something tasty with you!"
"Come on!"
…
A girl's voice came from the corridor, eerie and hollow.
Hearing it made one's hair stand on end.
"Th-this… this is Zhao Xiaolu's voice! Didn't she take leave today? H-how did she come back?!"
Among the students, Gao Xiaoli said in panic.
Zhao Xiaolu's appearance clearly surprised her.
"Why is she here? And she's not afraid of the monsters outside?"
"Could she have turned into a monster like Gao Junhao and come for revenge? If she wants revenge, she should go after Gao Xiaoli! It has nothing to do with me!"
"Right, it was all Gao Xiaoli bullying her—it has nothing to do with us!"
The girls who had shared a dorm with Zhao Xiaolu began whispering.
It seemed they had done something guilty to her before.
Their expressions were full of panic.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The classroom door was violently struck three times.
Chen Jie tightly gripped the Pangu Axe in his hand.
Whether Zhao Xiaolu had come for revenge or something else, if she dared to attack him or Xia Wanrou, Chen Jie would not hesitate to cut off her head.
"Ahhh! She's here, she's here!"
Gao Xiaoli clutched her head with both hands, curling up in the corner of the classroom.
"Open the door, my dear sisters. Didn't you love playing with me? Now… you won't even open the door? Hehehe…"
Zhao Xiaolu giggled.
But her voice was extremely eerie, sharp like nails scraping a blackboard.
The pounding continued.
Soon, with a snap, the classroom door lock broke.
"She's coming in!"
Chen Jie warned Xia Wanrou.
The next moment—
Boom!
The classroom door was violently burst open!
A monstrous figure blocked the doorway.
The upper half was Zhao Xiaolu, her clothes tattered, her hair disheveled, her teeth now jagged like saw blades.
Her blood-red eyes glared angrily at the students inside the classroom.
The lower half of her body had already mutated, splitting into eight long, twisted spider legs, covered in dense veins.
The nails on her feet had regrown into sharp blades.
"Hehe! I see you all!"
Zhao Xiaolu giggled.
Then, all eight legs moved at once, and in a flash, she rushed into the classroom.
After mutating, Zhao Xiaolu's body had grown several times larger.
As soon as she entered, she occupied most of the classroom.
"Xiaolu, please forgive me!"
Gao Xiaoli knew she couldn't escape, so she immediately knelt down before Zhao Xiaolu.
"Forgive you? Did you ever think about today?"
"And now you want me to forgive you? What a… what a ridiculous joke!"
Zhao Xiaolu's face twisted with madness, her body trembling constantly.
She recalled that pain!
It had inflicted immense trauma on her mind!
And now, having gained the power to take revenge, she felt an overwhelming excitement.
"Yes! She did it!"
One of Gao Xiaoli's dormmates stepped forward to add fuel to the fire.
At the same time, she cautiously edged toward the door.
"You're not going anywhere!"
Zhao Xiaolu's gaze turned cold.
Boom!
The door slammed shut automatically.
Seeing this, Chen Jie couldn't help but feel surprised.
Zhao Xiaolu must have eaten a spider to mutate like this.
But she was already able to use telekinesis to manipulate objects.
She must be close to the peak of Tier One!
Zhao Xiaolu didn't notice Chen Jie's gaze.
With a flash, she appeared in front of the girl trying to escape.
With a downward swipe of her claws, she split the girl's body in half.
She grabbed a portion and brought it to her mouth, chewing.
This bloody scene made several students nauseous on the spot.
"I'll fight you!"
Gao Xiaoli, not knowing where she found the courage, picked up a table leg and rushed toward Zhao Xiaolu.
She struck Zhao Xiaolu's spider leg with it.
However, it was like hitting steel.
It caused no damage at all.
Instead, the table leg fell from the shock.
Zhao Xiaolu sensed Gao Xiaoli's attack.
With a giggle, she lifted Gao Xiaoli into the air with telekinesis.
"You're too impatient. Now it's your turn!"
Zhao Xiaolu said cruelly.
Then she slowly brought Gao Xiaoli toward her mouth.
The powerful telekinesis held Gao Xiaoli tightly in place—no matter how she struggled, it was useless.
One bite!
Blood immediately gushed out.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Gao Xiaoli's screams echoed throughout the classroom.
In about a dozen seconds, more than half of Gao Xiaoli's body had been devoured by Zhao Xiaolu.
But after taking her revenge, she showed no intention of leaving.
Instead, she turned her gaze toward Chen Jie and Xia Wanrou with lingering desire.
"You two… look quite delicious!"
A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Xiaolu's mouth.
