S City University City.
The police blocked most of the roads, and the students in the university town were evacuating in batches under the protection of the military. There are six universities here, divided into two parks, east and west. It is the campus area with the largest area and the most famous schools in South China.
From north to south, the bus from the School of Political Science and Law had already left, and passed by Liu Yan's car. Liu Yan glanced out, and the students on the school bus were playing around, as excited as they were about to go out for an autumn outing.
Outside the joint university area of the three schools, an armed policeman stopped Liu Yan's car.
Liu Yan showed his student ID, while Meng Feng, who was driving, kept silent and asked Liu Yan to negotiate.
Liu Yan asked: "What's the situation now?"
The armed policeman replied: "A rabies outbreak, is there any injury on your body, little student? If you are injured, go to check immediately and get vaccinated." He pointed to the distance, where there are several sterile tents.
Liu Yan replied: "No, we just came from home, where are we retreating? Where are we retreating?"
The armed police said: "Healthy people are temporarily isolated. The South China Military Region Garrison is 200 kilometers away from here. Go back and find your dean. The instructor and the hospital will arrange for you. You must take a unified disinfection bus. What about you? Get your student ID Come out and see."
Meng Feng turned sideways and asked, "Can we go by ourselves?"
The armed policeman waved his hand, with a trace of purple-black blood stained on his white gloves, and looked at Meng Feng, waiting for him to show his student ID card.
"This is my cousin." Liu Yan said, "He sent me to school for fear that I would be unsafe."
Meng Feng took out his discharge certificate, and the armed police saw that he was a veteran, so they stopped interrogating and raised their hands to let him go.
Liu Yan turned on the radio.
Broadcast: "The outbreak of rabies virus concentrated in summer, the relevant departments call on all localities to do a good job in response, and some hard-hit areas need to temporarily isolate people..."
Meng Feng said: "It's not rabies at all, you're talking nonsense with your eyes open."
Liu Yan: "Isolation of healthy people has already begun, which is much more serious than that of SARS."
Meng Feng: "SARS was also said to be very serious that year, but a lot of illnesses were concealed..."
Broadcast: "The people of the whole country are united as one, the leaders of the central government..."
Liu Yan burst out laughing.
Broadcast: "... visit the patients in S City, the hardest-hit area..."
Liu Yan murmured: "The leader is going to the hardest-hit area?"
Meng Feng didn't speak, Meng Feng still remembered the roads in the campus, there were still many students walking on the road at the moment, completely unaware that the city Z hundreds of miles away had become a hell on earth ravaged by zombies.
Meng Feng stopped the car.
"I don't think it's reliable." Meng Feng said: "According to what I said, we should go by ourselves and go to the South China Military Region garrison to have a look."
Liu Yan was silent, and felt in his heart that Meng Feng's words were feasible, but...
"But the car doesn't belong to me." Liu Yan said, "Cui Xiaokun is my good friend, so what's the matter with driving his car away? What do you think?"
Meng Feng nodded, went around the bend, and parked in front of the dormitory building. Liu Yan slammed the car door and ran to the dormitory. There was a huge arrow posted downstairs - "Returning students, please gather at the wind and rain playground."
"Come with me." Liu Yan said.
"Where's the stuff?" Meng Feng said.
"Don't worry about it for now! Hurry up!" Liu Yan dragged Meng Feng and ran along the road, crossing the empty school road to the wind and rain playground.
It was a central depression surrounded by towering ring-shaped stands, enough to accommodate nearly 20,000 students. Every year, school celebrations and large-scale theatrical performances are held here. Now the playground has been divided into the jurisdictions of each college, and banners are pulled up on the stands .
The students were waiting to be evacuated under the scorching sun. The girls held umbrellas, listened to music, and occasionally chatted quietly.
The broadcast on the central stand of the playground will be played in a loop every five minutes: "Students please abide by the order consciously. Students who return from school should first report to the grade instructor of the hospital, and then go to the medical area for vaccinations..."
Liu Yan found the residence of the graduate school, at the basketball court on the east side of the stand, and then hurried through the stand with Meng Feng.
The sweaty two entered the basketball hall, which was filled with students, and the central air-conditioning blew in.
"Liu Yan!" Cui Xiaokun on the side shouted hastily: "Thank God, I'm finally back."
Liu Yan heaved a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to hug Cui Xiaokun.
"Car keys, Meng Feng." Liu Yan said.
Cui Xiaokun took the key: "How is Auntie? Is everything okay?"
Liu Yan was silent, and Cui Xiaokun said again: "The broadcast said that the virus spread in city Z is very serious, and most citizens have been quarantined and evacuated."
Liu Yan said: "It's okay, I didn't find her, and she probably left."
Cui Xiaokun comforted: "That's good, it will be fine."
Liu Yan stroked his messy hair wearily, his eyes were red.
"What's the situation now?" Meng Feng asked.
Cui Xiaokun knew Meng Feng well. He had lived in their dormitory for a few days when he first arrived in City S. He immediately greeted Meng Feng and explained: "They are going to take us to a nearby barracks and are retreating in batches. It is said that it will be here at five o'clock in the afternoon."
Meng Feng stepped forward and whispered: "You have to leave immediately, you don't know what happened outside, it's very dangerous."
Liu Yan said: "Wait, Meng Feng. Xiaokun, where are the principals?"
Cui Xiaokun held a glass of water and said, "There is a meeting in the office, you probably won't be able to get in now."
Liu Yan waved his hand and said, "You two wait here, I'll be right back."
There were anxious phone calls and safety reports everywhere, and there was a girl crying loudly in the corner. Her boyfriend was hugging her and whispering comfort.
"Liu Yan!" The boy shouted loudly, then bowed his head and said, "Xiao Shu? Don't cry, your friend is here."
The girl looked at Liu Yan with tears in her eyes. She is Liu Yan's junior junior high school student, and they are both from City Z. Since the broadcast announcement last night, they have been calling home non-stop.
"It's all right! Xiaoshu?" Liu Yan said from a distance: "The signal is not stable now. I went home once, and most of the people left. My mother still... saw your brother."
The girl said: "What happened to him! Where are my parents?!"
Liu Yan subconsciously made up a lie and said: "Your brother's girlfriend is not feeling well, she went to the hospital to see her, and your parents are also with her."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Yan said again: "They were transferred to another hospital on Friday night. They should have gone south to the provincial capital and followed the army's car. We chatted for a while."
Xiao Shu almost passed out, crying and said: "Thank you, can I contact them?"
Liu Yan waved his hand and looked at Xiaoshu's boyfriend. He is not a student of engineering university, but a local mixed society in S City, and no one cared about him when he came in with his girlfriend.
Xiao Shu got up and wanted to come to Liu Yan, but Liu Yan said: "I will tell you in detail later, I still have something to do."
The man hugged Xiao Shu and coaxed in a low voice: "Don't worry, look, Liu Yan is still busy."
Liu Yan walked through the corridor, even sitting or standing in the corridor, there were many students staying there, and the end of the corridor was the office.
He knows all the people here, most of them are doing scientific research projects with their graduate tutors. Their tutors are in the office, and they have the closest relationship with their tutors. They come here to wait for deployment and share some chores.
Many of the boys in the School of Mechanical Engineering are nerds and dicks, and they are called Frankensteins by people from other schools. The girls from the School of Biology stood on the other side looking at their fingernails.
Liu Yan greeted each of them, and was about to knock on the door. Sitting on the floor at the door, the boy with his back against the wall retracted his feet and asked, "What's the matter? The teachers are in a meeting, so you can't go in now."
Liu Yan pulled off his earphones and said, "Brother, do you know what's going on outside?"
That person's name was Xiao R. When Liu Yan was studying in the second year of graduate school, he got to know each other very well. After Liu Yan went abroad as an exchange student, Xiao R stayed in school as a teaching assistant after graduation. The two still used to address each other as brothers and sisters.
Xiao R got up and said, "Is your family okay?"
Liu Yan whispered: "My mother may be dead, it's not rabies virus, it's a zombie...you..."
Xiao R was startled and said: "Liu Yan, you are tired! Take a good rest first, don't think about it."
Liu Yan said: "Trust me! Let me in, I will explain it to the head of the department in detail, and you will understand later."
Xiao R couldn't believe it, his brows were full of doubts, he raised his hand to touch Liu Yan's head, hugged him again, and asked, "What did you see when you went home?"
"It's too late." Liu Yan collected himself and knocked on the door, but Xiao R didn't stop him.
"Come in." The old principal's voice sounded.
Liu Yan pushed the door open and entered. Inside was a circular table where a dozen or so senior officials of the college were discussing the withdrawal of students and the modification of the teaching plan.
"What's the matter?" A woman raised her eyes and asked, "Which academy are you from?"
"This is my student." The dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering smiled and said, "Liu Yan, are you back? Everything is alright."
Liu Yan closed his eyes and shook his head.
"Where's the principal?" Liu Yan asked.
The old man who presided over the meeting was the vice principal, and he replied: "The principal has gone to communicate with the armed police. Your name is Liu Yan? What's the matter?"
Liu Yan took a deep breath and said, "I just came back from City Z, and I have some bad news for you."
Liu Yan explained the process of returning to City Z in detail, and there was complete silence in the office.
"My mother is a doctor, so I won't lie to you." Liu Yan glanced at the deans and said uncomfortably, "I think we'd better leave here immediately and go to an open place."
Liu Yan closed the door, Xiao R said in a low voice: "The corpses you saw... the living dead, are they real?"
Liu Yan took a look at him, took his earphones, and stuffed them in his left ear. There was a slow-flowing opera in it, which made his tense nerves relax a bit.
"Yes." Liu Yan said wearily, "What will they do?"
Xiao R said: "It's very troublesome, I can't just leave, I'm still waiting for the escort of the armed police."
"I've tried my best." Liu Yan rubbed his brows, and suddenly someone came over and said, "Liu Yan! Your friend got into an argument with Teacher Lin outside."
Liu Yan really heard one head and two big ones, and said angrily: "What did Meng Feng do again?!"
Liu Yan pushed Xiao R away and ran out of the corridor, only to see Meng Feng arguing fiercely with a tall physical education teacher.
"Where are the security guards!" The teacher surnamed Lin was very irritable: "Notify the people from the security department to come over!"
Meng Feng said angrily: "If Liu Yan doesn't come out, I won't go anywhere! Get out of the way!"
The physical education teacher yelled: "You are not students of this school! A bunch of punks in the society! Get out!"
The two quarreled until they blushed and their necks were thick. Judging by the situation, if they disagreed, they would fight. The physical education teacher was born in basketball. He was nearly 195 centimeters tall, taller than Meng Feng. He was about to move forward, but Meng Feng pointed at him and threatened him. Said: "Don't be rough, I warn you, two more like you are not enough for my three moves."
The physical education teacher said: "It's simply lawless..."
Liu Yan said: "Teacher Lin."
Liu Yan pulled the two of them apart and took a look. There were many people behind Meng Feng who were not from the school, most of them were men, and they all followed to protect his girlfriend.
Liu Yan said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin..."
The physical education teacher said: "Whose boyfriends are they all? Come here to claim them and let them get out of here! Our own students are basking in the sun outside, and it's fine for your graduate students to blow on the air conditioner inside. How did these people get in here?!"
Xiao R stepped forward and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin, please calm down. They don't mean any harm. If students from other schools come in later, I'll ask them to give up their seats."
"Mr. Lin!" Someone said anxiously: "A classmate outside has passed out due to heat stroke, where are the principals?"
Xiao R came out to mediate. Although he was young, he was still a teacher. He protected Liu Yan and others. It was not easy for the physical education teacher. In addition, something happened on the playground, so he pointed to the ground and said, "Mr. Xiao , this will trouble you."
After finishing speaking, he shook his sportswear irritably, coughed a few times, turned around and followed the medical staff out.
Xiao R went to get a glass of water for Meng Feng, who said in a muffled voice, "Thank you."
Liu Yan looked at the back of the PE teacher who was going away, and said nothing, as if he sensed something.
"Has he been vaccinated?" Liu Yan asked.
"The students here have all had injections, how about you?" Xiao r said, "Hurry up if you haven't had an injection, what do you call it?"
"Meng Feng." Meng Feng walked to one side with the cup in his hand, and squatted down by himself.
Xiao R said: "Meng Feng is not from our school, I'll write him a note, you guys hurry up and line up for the vaccination."
Liu Yan nodded his thanks, Meng Feng squatted in a corner drinking water, Cui Xiaokun crossed his legs, and sat beside Meng Feng playing psp.
Liu Yan took the note, came over and stood in front of Meng Feng, and said, "Go, get an injection."
Meng Feng glanced at Liu Yan unhappily, staring at the ground without saying a word. After a while, he said, "You look down on me."
"Nothing." Liu Yan said: "You always like to think wildly, and it's not because of this reason that I separated from you."
Meng Feng shook his head, Liu Yan simply knelt down on one knee, looked into his eyes, Meng Feng said: "You listen to me. Go now, don't stay here."
Liu Yan let out a long breath, thinking about how to convince Meng Feng, he felt that being with his classmates was much safer than wandering outside. After all, the military would come to pick them up and take them to the isolation place. Meng Feng drove him by himself, food and drinking water would always run out, what would he do if he encountered a large number of wandering zombies
Cui Xiaokun played the psp and said without raising his head: "The army will come to pick us up soon, you two should not act alone, it is safer if there are more people."
Meng Feng didn't answer, but whispered: "Listen, Liu Yan, your physical education teacher's complexion is a bit strange. He is very irritable, as if he will attack people at any time. I saw that night, before he turned into a zombie, he was very irritable and aggressive. sex… "
"Zombie?" Cui Xiaokun exclaimed.
Liu Yan immediately hissed, signaling Cui Xiaokun to calm down.
"Why are so many people suffering from heat stroke?" An anxious voice came from afar.
Liu Yan, Meng Feng, and Cui Xiaokun raised their heads at the same time and glanced at the entrance of the basketball hall.
The physical education teacher led the boys from the gymnasium to carry the student who passed out under the poisonous sun into the basketball court. His complexion was even uglier than when he quarreled with Meng Feng just now. Soaked in sweat, stuck to the forehead.
Liu Yan said: "Anyway, get vaccinated first, come on, get up."
Liu Yan stretched out his palm and patted Meng Feng. Meng Feng took advantage of the momentum to stand up, but he held Liu Yan's hand and led him out of the basketball gym to the medical office.
There were a lot of people missing in the stands. It was three o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was at its most vicious, and the ground was almost on fire. Many students had already shifted to stay on duty and sneaked back to the dormitory to blow on the fans.
Many people were sunburned, the logistics department began to distribute mineral water, and there was still a long queue at the vaccination site. Meng Feng held Liu Yan's shoulder domineeringly with one hand, and let others point and talk, Liu Yan stopped struggling, and now his mind was focused on other places.
Students with heatstroke in the stands were carried into the basketball hall, and there were thousands of people in that posture.
"Is it so serious?" Liu Yan's heart moved, and he asked a student, "What time did you start gathering on the playground today?"
The man replied: "At eleven o'clock in the morning, I asked to come after lunch."
The team was moving slowly, Meng Feng suddenly said: "Liu Yan, look over there."
Liu Yan looked at the temporary medical office under several parasols from a distance, where several tables were put together, and the nurses were giving injections one by one, beside them was a foam box filled with crushed ice, which contained medicines.
Meng Feng took out the binoculars and asked, "What kind of vaccine is that?"
Liu Yan glanced through the binoculars, but couldn't understand the color label on the bottle: "Is it a new type of vaccine? I don't know the specifications..."
Meng Feng whispered: "It's useless at all, don't fight."
"How do you know?" a student in the team asked.
Liu Yan frowned and said, "Maybe it's really a mutant virus of rabies, that's not sure..."
Meng Feng tremblingly said: "Liu Yan... You looked at that doctor, did you see it? And the nurse next to him, where did these people come from?"
Liu Yan frowned deeply, and murmured: "The ones from the hospital are not from our school...God, Meng Feng, I saw it."
The necks of the two nurses who were injecting the students had a layer of markings, which were very shallow and not very obvious. Occasionally, he yelled impatiently, telling them to hurry up.
Meng Feng said in a low voice: "The medical staff are also infected, Liu Yan, they don't seem to know about their affairs..."
Liu Yan said, "No, if they are scratched or bitten, they will be quarantined. They must not have wounds, otherwise how could they come out to give injections?"
Meng Feng: "Is it possible that frequent contact with patients before this will cause infection?! How does this virus spread? Sweat? I suspect that all the people in this medical team have been infected."
Liu Yan took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "I'm not a medical student. You ask me, how do I know? I don't even know what kind of disease it is."
Liu Yan thought of the physical education teacher with a bad face, and turned his head suddenly. Outside the team, many students who were unconscious due to heat stroke had already entered the basketball hall, and the graduate students gave up their seats one after another.
"Listen to me, don't go there yet." Meng Feng's voice was a little trembling, he took Liu Yan's hand, and the two ran towards the basketball court.
"Where are the car keys?" Liu Yan panted.
Meng Feng said: "Give it back to your roommate."
When Liu Yan entered the basketball hall, there were noisy people everywhere. The physical education teacher yelled: "Give them some water, bring a towel, and put it on their foreheads!"
The teacher looked quite hysterical, the two watched for a while, and Liu Yan shouted decisively: "Cui Xiaokun!"
"Cui Xiaokun!"
The crowd was in chaos, and it was impossible to find where Cui Xiaokun was. Liu Yan asked around, only to hear a roar: "Why are you punks still here! Get out!"
The physical education teacher came towards Meng Feng, Meng Feng took a deep breath, couldn't bear it any longer, rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight him, Liu Yan hurriedly pressed him, signaling not to be impulsive.
Standing in front of Meng Feng, the physical education teacher couldn't stop panting heavily, crumbling, and all the students looked at him in surprise.
His pupils were cloudy, he opened his mouth and shouted, and rushed towards Meng Feng.
Liu Yan immediately shouted: "Don't touch him!"
Meng Feng immediately realized what had happened, he dodged lightly, and kicked the man on the side with his kick. There was a burst of confusion, the students yelled, and the physical education teacher was kicked by Meng Feng and fell to the ground. Then he got up, threw himself on the student who came up to help him, and bit the boy's neck.
Blood splattered everywhere, and countless girls screamed loudly, and those who were timid immediately passed out.
Liu Yan gasped for two seconds, and immediately shouted: "Cui Xiaokun! You bastard! Where are you!"
An unprecedented commotion broke out in the basketball arena, and another heart-piercing cry came from the corner.
A student who was unconscious due to heat stroke woke up and bit anyone he saw. Liu Yan wanted to go over to take a look, but Meng Feng tightly grasped his wrist, dragged him to embrace him, and shouted in his ear, "Go!"
"No car." Liu Yan said, "Where are you going?"
Meng Feng roared: "Think of a way! Hurry up!"
Liu Yan glanced in surprise and saw Cui Xiaokun in the corner, he couldn't laugh or cry.
Cui Xiaokun was wearing earphones and playing psp with super loud volume, when he was ripped off by a hand, Liu Yan shouted angrily and amusedly: "Run! You're going to die!"
Cui Xiaokun exclaimed: "What happened?!"
Liu Yan forgot that the basketball hall was still full of people, so when he yelled like this, the pot exploded, nearly three or four thousand people screamed and rushed towards the exit.
There was a flood of people at the door, who were trampled on their feet, and there was blood everywhere. The radio yelled for the students to calm down. The door at the deepest part of the basketball hall opened, and the vice-principal came out.
The vice principal shouted: "Don't panic! What the hell is going on! Don't panic!"
The gate was blocked, Meng Feng turned his head to look, gestured for Liu Yan and Cui Xiaokun to follow, and the three rushed into the corridor behind the vice principal.
The principals were all in shock, Meng Feng led the two of them into the corridor of the back hall, grabbed the vice principal by the collar and dragged him back, threw him on the ground, and then he and Liu Yan each side, suddenly Slammed the door.
The moment the door closed, the physical education teacher who had turned into a zombie rushed forward and was blocked behind the door with a bang.
Blood spurted from the door, splashing the vice principal's face.
Liu Yan smashed the fire cabinet, took an ax and firmly supported the gate, Meng Feng said: "Take the safe passage! Quick!"
"Teacher..." Liu Yan gasped and said to the principals.
"There's no time, don't explain!" Meng Feng shouted.
Cui Xiaokun was so startled that he was in a trance, nodded frequently, and said, "Teacher...goodbye."
Liu Yan and Cui Xiaokun followed Meng Feng's footsteps and escaped from the basketball hall along the safe passage.
Cui Xiaokun: "God..."
Cui Xiaokun: "Hoo... ho... my God..."
Cui Xiaokun: "My God..."
Liu Yan: "Xiao Kun, you'd better shut up, so that you won't waste your energy when running..."
Meng Feng: "Both of you... don't talk."
Cui Xiaokun: "My parents... no, I have to go back and find my parents..."
"Don't be stupid!" Meng Feng and Liu Yan shouted in unison.
Cui Xiaokun was so shocked that he didn't dare to make a sound. There were fleeing students everywhere in front of him. A wave of zombies broke out from the basketball court in the middle of the wind and rain playground. The glass was smashed, umbrellas, paper books, and sandals were everywhere. More and more students with heat stroke woke up and became zombies, chasing and biting their classmates.
Blood stained most of the stands, and everyone was frightened crazy. Meng Feng pushed open the door and left from behind the basketball hall.
"Let me scout the surroundings first." Meng Feng said: "You all must be careful, don't make too much noise."
Meng Feng took a step, and a helicopter broadcast came from the sky: "According to the instructions of the South China Military Region, please gather at the gate of the fifth teaching building consciously! Evacuate the scene immediately!"
The army is finally here.
Meng Feng said: "Go with them?"
Liu Yan reluctantly nodded, and the three of them escaped from the playground and ran towards the teaching building.
