Cherreads

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Then, the Dean looked down at his phone and read aloud in a low, heavy voice: "In these dorms on the second floor, there are people in need of 'rescue." They are: 202, 203, 205, 208..."

One of the other high-intelligence Evil Seeds was Liam Thomas, the head of the Sports Department.

Liam Thomas took the key offered by the Dean and unlocked the door to Dormitory 202 first.

The girls of Dorm 202 were all packed and ready. They stood by the door, waiting for rescue with hearts full of hope.

As the door slowly creaked open, Sarah Jackson, the dorm leader, saw Liam Thomas. Her face instantly lit up with overwhelming surprise and joy: "Liam Thomas!"

trembling with excitement, she threw herself at him, hugging him tightly.

Sarah Jackson and Liam Thomas were a couple; they had been inseparable, their relationship the envy of many. Seeing her athletic boyfriend in such a desperate situation, Sarah Jackson felt as if she were witnessing a god descending to save her.

Liam Thomas paused, a flicker of confusion crossing his face as Sarah Jackson threw herself into his arms.

Since when does luncheon meat deliver itself right to your mouth?

This girl... she seemed somewhat familiar.

Oh, right. His girlfriend?

But... what is a girlfriend?

Liam Thomas's mind had long since been void of any human emotion. All the knowledge he had acquired in the past, every method he now utilized, served only one primal purpose: to feed.

Liam Thomas extended his hands, gripping Sarah Jackson's shoulders as he stared into her eyes.

Sarah Jackson was already sobbing uncontrollably, clutching the hem of his shirt: 'thank god, Liam Thomas... I was so scared..."

"Don't be scared. I'm here." Liam Thomas narrowed his eyes in a smile, gazing at the girl who had offered herself up so willingly.

Her neck is so fair. Her skin, so delicate.

The next second, Liam Thomas opened his mouth and clamped his jaws viciously onto Sarah Jackson's neck, sucking down large, greedy gulps of fresh blood.

The sudden, horrific scene stunned everyone. The joy of surviving the apocalypse froze on their faces as they stared at Liam Thomas in disbelief.

They were so shocked they forgot to scream, their minds unable to process the nightmare unfolding before them.

Liam Thomas fed with terrifying speed.

Before Sarah Jackson could even react, her entire face rapidly shriveled, withering away like a desiccated corpse.

Seeing Sarah Jackson's fate, the other girls in the dorm instantly realized the truth: the group of people standing before them, grinning maniacally, was no rescue team.

They were mutated Evil Seeds.

Screaming, the girls grabbed whatever weapons they could find and hurled them at Liam Thomas.

But this meager resistance was nothing to the tall, powerful athlete.

Liam Thomas was full very quickly. With zero emotion, he shoved Sarah Jackson aside.

Sarah Jackson's fragile body slammed against the metal lockers by the door. Her throat let out a final, despairing whimper. She stared intently at Liam Thomas, the man who had once loved her deeply, as the light in her tear-filled eyes gradually faded into nothingness.

Having fed, the obvious red veins in Liam Thomas's eyes receded significantly.

He turned his gaze toward the others.

He was full, so he glanced back at the other Evil Seeds, signaling that they could begin.

The Dean had already eaten and had little interest in the prey before him. He was simply indulging the intense, frantic desire for slaughter that raged in his heart.

The other Evil Seeds swarmed into the dormitory.

Under such brutal tearing and biting, the slender girls were ripped apart in moments.

And Sarah Jackson, the first victim, dragged her shriveled body up from the floor.

She picked up a severed, bleeding arm from the ground and began to lick the blood.

Soon, her withered face filled out slightly, taking on a sickly green hue.

Sarah Jackson had transformed into an Intermediate Evil Seed.

She quickly joined the ranks of the biting horde.

After ransacking the dormitory, Sarah Jackson followed the other Evil Seeds back into the formation. Her face was smeared with blood.

The mutated Sarah Jackson looked at Liam Thomas and the Dean, a smile that was both evil and cruel curling her lips. She turned her gaze toward the other closed dormitory doors.

"I'm so hungry." Sarah Jackson whispered, licking her dry lips, her voice trembling with extreme craving.

...

In Dormitory 209, Emma Smith could hear every sound from outside with terrifying clarity.

Although this damn dormitory door offered zero soundproofing, right now, Emma Smith was grateful for it.

She clearly heard the heavy footsteps of the horde passing 209.

Their goal was extremely precise; they were only looking for those who had exposed themselves.

There were over thirty dorm rooms on the second floor, they probably couldn't be bothered to check them one by one.

Hearing the footsteps and screams drifting further away, Emma Smith let out a heavy sigh of relief.

It seemed her ancestors were watching over her.

Just as Emma Smith was secretly celebrating, a fierce, arrogant roar suddenly erupted from down the hall.

"Go to hell!"

The voice belonged to Jessica Williams, the dorm leader of 213.

Jessica Williams was a girl who stood one meter ninety, with a physique like a fortress. Emma Smith had a deep impression of her.

When school first started, Jessica Williams was often mocked for her size. But whoever mocked her would soon find themselves having a "friendly and intimate exchange" with her iron-hammer fists.

After beating up nearly half the campus, Jessica Williams commanded serious respect.

The Dean walked at the front, leading the pack of Evil Seeds to aggressively throw open the door to Jessica Williams's room, only to be greeted by a chair smashing violently into his face. His head instantly burst open, blood streaming down.

Caught off guard, the Dean dropped to the ground, howling in pain, purely out of conditioned reflex.

Joy flashed across Jessica Williams's face.
