Hades ate the steaming food, which tasted even more delicious after being heated.

After breakfast, Hades left the principal’s office.
He told Hayley that she could only stay here. No one was allowed to open the door, except Hades.
If she was in danger, she would hide in a small hidden room.
That room was hidden very well. If one didn’t search carefully, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find that room.
After all, there were many zombies on campus. Hayley couldn’t take Hades on an adventure.
After all, this wasn’t a game.
While he was fighting, he might not have time to take care of Hayley.
She was just an ordinary person. If she was bitten by a zombie, she might die or turn into a zombie herself.
Hades didn’t want that to happen.
So, Hades persuaded her to stay.
Hades promised her that he would find a suitable place to take her away.
He also left enough food and water for her so that he could leave reassured about her safety.
It had been a week since the zombie outbreak. That was the limit of what ordinary people could hide. People needed food and water.
However, zombies didn’t need it. They had already died once. They were like demons in hell, looking for the breath of living people, then devouring them and dragging them into hell together.
After the zombies that were killed by Hades’s speeding car last night, as well as the zombies that were attracted by the principal’s truck and the others, the number of zombies in the campus had been greatly reduced.
Originally, zombies could be seen wandering around every few steps, but now, zombies were not so common anymore. Only a few zombies were wandering around.
However, the entire campus was still very quiet. After all, those who survived were very careful and would not come out easily.
In the post-apocalyptic world, not only did you have to face zombies, but you also had to face the test of humanity.
When you meet your own kind, they won’t necessarily become your friends. They are more likely to take advantage of your resources and weapons and attack you. They will take everything from you and exploit your labor force.
If it is a girl, then her fate will be even more tragic.
The forest was dark and gloomy.
Although the number of zombies on campus has decreased, no one is willing to voluntarily expose themselves, because that may attract the attention of others and attack.
In the entire academy, only Hades dared to act so boldly.
He wasn’t worried at all, because with his current strength, even if he encountered zombies, he wouldn’t be afraid at all.
Those zombies were only attribute points, and would only increase his strength.
If it was during normal times, the students in the academy would probably have just started classes.
This place was originally a vibrant academy. All the students carried their books and walked towards the classroom.
Hades would also be one of them. He was filled with endless expectations for the future. He thought that after graduation, he might become a reporter or a photographer.
However, all of this was impossible because the world had completely changed.
The previous world would never come back. Even if the humans defeated the zombies in the end, it would become a new world.
The Old World had already died. Who would become the King of the New World?
It was still too early.
Hades only reminisced about all this. Ever since the end of the world, he had never seen such a peaceful campus. The original campus was filled with zombies.
Everyone was living in fear. They were on the brink of death.
Hades suddenly remembered that he had a camera.
He had to do something for this world that was about to die and leave something behind.
Hades took out the camera and pointed it at the trees on the playground and the school buildings in the distance.
He took pictures of all these memories.
He wanted to leave something behind for the history of mankind so that they would not forget this world thousands of years later.
Because the battle with the zombies would definitely last for a very, very long time..
Hades was a person who hated forgetting, and his memory was very good.
He would remember every person who hurt him, and he would vow to take revenge.
He would also remember every person who treated him well, and he would do his best to repay the other party.
This was also the principle of Hades as a person, to repay kindness with kindness, and to take revenge with hatred.
Hades walked across the campus and took many photos.
Some were pictures of the old campus, some were pictures of the destroyed campus, and some were pictures of zombies.
He categorized the zombies and wrote the date on the back of the photos.
There was no doubt that all zombies had become human.
He even recognized his former classmates among the zombies. No matter how good and beautiful that person was, after becoming a zombie, he was just a corpse.
They were ugly and irrational.
While taking photos, Hades was also observing them. He had to record and find out the truth and reason behind all of this.
Through observation, Hades concluded these points.
Zombies would rot under the sun. When the rot reached a certain level, their skin and flesh would fall off. If too much of their bodies fell off, they would lose their vitality.
Zombies would devour zombies. When zombies devoured zombies, that zombie would become slightly stronger. When it devoured enough, its body would also become bigger and stronger.
When zombies ate enough food, they would become no different from human beings. However, if they continued eating, their bodies would become tougher and stronger.
Therefore, it could be inferred that as time passed, the weaker zombies would be eliminated, and the remaining zombies would become extremely powerful.
There was another point, which was that there seemed to be a leader among the zombies.
Hades didn’t have any evidence on this point. Instead, he used his intuition, because he gradually found that some scattered zombies were gathering, as if they were under some kind of command.
Therefore, the idea of a zombie leader appeared in Hades’mind. If zombies had a leader, if he and humans had meaningful wisdom..
Hades didn’t dare to think further, but he knew that the world was completely different now.
Only by fighting, constantly fighting, could he survive!
