Big Gold Tooth and the others slowly approached, drawing nearer.
When they saw that two of the female students were in their blossoming, 15-year-old prime, like budding willow catkins, pure and sweet,
especially with their innocent, timid gazes directed at them,
Big Gold Tooth's heart immediately itched.
Suddenly, someone jumped out of the window—it was Teacher Liu.
Earlier, after being knocked to the ground by a zombie, a few buttons on her chest, despite wearing two layers, had come undone during the struggle, making it difficult to conceal her ample figure.
As she jumped down from the window, her chest… trembled with the impact of landing, like the waves of the sea, rippling twice.
This scene not only stunned Big Gold Tooth and the refined man who were walking towards her, but also the several men behind them. Their eyes instantly fixated on a certain spot.
Teacher Liu jumped from the window and immediately saw the group of people about ten meters away. When she saw the looks in their eyes, she instantly felt a bit flustered.
This group was forming an encirclement, slowly walking towards them.
The apocalypse had already been going on for several months. Although Teacher Liu and her students hadn't encountered many other people and didn't fully understand human nature in the post-apocalyptic world, the appearance of this group suggested they were not good people.
Especially seeing these tall, burly men, each holding weapons, pressing closer with lewd expressions.
Turning her head, she saw the students beside her, and her eyes instantly became resolute. She tightened her grip on the spear, shielding the students behind her, as if cheering herself on, and proactively asked, "What do you want?"
Big Gold Tooth, standing at the forefront, saw Teacher Liu standing on the steps, her graceful figure, and even her long, slender legs, which her sweatpants couldn't conceal.
He immediately chuckled and said, "Hehe, nothing much, just want to make friends with you. Hehe." He spoke while slowly approaching, his face displaying a lewd expression.
Teacher Liu watched these people approach, unable to help but retreat a few steps.
The two male students nearby also looked at the group with some fear, but seeing the two girls beside them looking terrified, they felt they should do something.
Especially one of the girls, who was their secret crush; they needed to make an impression!
So they mustered their courage, picked up their weapons, and walked towards Teacher Liu. As they walked, they looked at the two female students, seemingly wanting to see something in their eyes.
But the girls didn't pay attention to them; instead, they nervously clutched their weapons, flustered like two little fawns.
Behind them, Song Qi also jumped down from the window. After hearing what Big Gold Tooth said, he vigilantly watched the group.
He directly and impolitely said, "We don't want to make friends with you!"
Teacher Liu saw Song Qi standing beside her and retreated backward, while quietly telling the students next to her, "Song Qi, take them, grab your bags, and run quickly."
However, Big Gold Tooth and the others on the opposite side were not far away. Although they couldn't hear what was being said, they could generally guess. So he waved his hand, instructing three people to quickly encircle them from the side.
Seeing this, Teacher Liu made up her mind.
"Run!" Teacher Liu shouted, then, holding her spear, she descended the steps and stood in the middle of the road. She intended to block them, to protect her students even at the cost of her life!
The two male students immediately ran outwards, but the two girls looked back, then at Teacher Liu in front, their faces conflicted. They wanted to run, but they also wanted to stay and help Teacher Liu!
Song Qi, however, didn't move at all. Instead, he ran over and stood beside Teacher Liu, gripping his spear, looking at the group with a determined expression, completely fearless.
The two male students, without looking back, immediately put on their backpacks and scurried away.
But after running a distance, they realized the others hadn't followed. They looked back and saw them still standing there, and felt a bit hesitant.
However, the men Big Gold Tooth had sent to encircle them were already on their way, running to chase the two male students.
One of the male students didn't hesitate and immediately sped up his escape. The other male student, seeing the first boy run and the others chasing from behind, steeled his heart.
He turned and ran.
The three men behind them chased closely.
Teacher Liu looked back, seeing that the two female students hadn't run, and felt a bitter pang in her heart, sighing with some lament, "Why aren't you running! Alas!"
The two female students, though fearful, seemed to want to appear braver. They clenched their small fists tightly and said, "Teacher Liu, if you don't go, we won't go either."
"Teacher Liu, we'll face this together."
Their voices were clear, like orioles emerging from a valley, yet with a slight tremor.
Song Qi beside them also firmly stated, "We advance and retreat together!"
Teacher Liu looked at these children with a touch of emotion, her heart a mix of feelings. These were the students she taught. Sometimes, in education, learning how to be a person is more important than learning knowledge.
They made Teacher Liu proud!
However, these were not good people! If they didn't leave, she didn't know what would happen!
"Wow, how touching! Teacher Liu, I'll also advance and retreat with you," Big Gold Tooth said, looking at Teacher Liu with a lewd expression.
Hearing Big Gold Tooth's explicit words, Teacher Liu felt a surge of anger, her teeth clenched, her eyes seemingly about to spit fire.
Big Gold Tooth and his group surrounded them in a circle, then moved forward to subdue them.
Song Qi forcefully swung his spear. At 15, although he had developed to be not much different from an adult, there were too many opponents!
Moreover, they were all experienced, often fighting thugs, and he was quickly overwhelmed.
He was about to be subdued by several men.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Big Gold Tooth and a man directly rushed towards Teacher Liu, their faces lewd, and their hands reached out to grab her arms, intending to control her. In his eyes, a mere woman would have no resistance; once their weapons were disarmed, they would essentially be lambs to the slaughter.
Just at this moment, Teacher Liu thrust her spear forward. In the sunlight, the smooth spear reflected a beam of light into Big Gold Tooth's eyes.
Big Gold Tooth immediately recoiled backward! He directly collapsed to the ground.
He looked at the direction Teacher Liu's spear had been thrust—it was precisely aimed at his crotch.
That was close!
His calves trembled slightly; it was an incredibly narrow escape, almost getting pierced. A sense of lingering fear welled up inside him.
What followed was an invisible fire that instantly rushed to his head. In his eyes, these were just lambs, powerless lambs, yet they had almost injured him!
Rage!
With a crazed, somewhat distorted face, he glared at Teacher Liu and furiously said, "You bitch, you dare resist! Damn it, just watch how I'll kill you! Fuck!"
"Qin Shou, you guys hold her down for me! I'm going to teach her a good lesson. You little slut!"
The refined man beside him nodded at the words, a perverted expression appearing on his face. He enjoyed torturing people; it was his preference and his specialty.
So, he and the several men behind him gripped their weapons and walked towards Teacher Liu.
Teacher Liu watched these people encircling her, still wanting to resist. She thrust a spear forward, but the refined man was prepared and dodged.
And just as Teacher Liu thrust and was about to pull back, a man behind her struck her arm directly with an iron rod.
Clang!
The spear fell to the ground. The refined man immediately ran forward and slapped her, leaving a five-fingered imprint on Teacher Liu's face.
This refined man, with his other hand, forcibly pulled Teacher Liu's hair, kicked her knee, pulled Teacher Liu's head up, and slapped her twice more.
Then he dragged her straight towards Big Gold Tooth, as if he wasn't dragging a person, but an object.
Big Gold Tooth felt a sense of relief seeing this scene. He looked at the refined man and said, "It has to be you, but you don't know how to cherish a beauty at all. Tsk tsk, little slut, wouldn't it be better to be obedient, why be so naughty..."
At the same time, the two young girls on the other side, holding their weapons, trembled as they tried to help rescue Teacher Liu.
However, the other men immediately ran forward to block them, knocking the weapons out of the two girls' hands with a single blow, then quickly subduing them.
At this moment, Song Qi on the right was surrounded by four men, his leg had been cut by a knife, and his weapon had also been taken away.
He was currently being pinned to the ground by several men, who were savagely kicking him.
Song Qi shielded his head, and seeing Teacher Liu and the others all subdued, an infinite despair welled up in his heart.
