Come? where to go
The girl was stunned for a second to react, she sniffled and continued typing:
[It's all about my husband: woo woo woo thank you sister, although I haven't succeeded in getting married with you offline, but you are a good person. Thank you for your kindness, but I should not be able to go. ]
[There are too many zombies in the dormitory area, even if I can make it to your downstairs, I won't be able to get in alive, woo woo woo]
Maybe it was her fate to wander around and die miserably outside.
The message from Tang Xinjue was still brief, but the tone was firm:
[If you manage to get near building 33, we can pick you up. ]
[Want to gamble? ]
[It's all my husband:? ? ? ]
[Really! ! ! ]
Because she was too shocked, the girl didn't notice the word "we" at all. After asking several times if it was really okay, and after confirming that it wasn't the other person's impulsiveness but he couldn't bear it, he wiped his nose and tears, and said sincerely: [Thank you. ]
Although she was very afraid of dying, even though she was accidentally caught by zombies on the road and died—but at least there is still a final hope. She knew very well that wandering outside was the real dead end.
Looking at the fog gradually rising outside, the girl gave a firm answer:
[I'm going to try. ]
"Why did you suddenly decide to save her?"
After the dialog message ended, Zhang You asked.
Tang Xinjue replied: "Because we changed her original fate."
Through the dialogue, it can be seen that if they hadn't accidentally discovered the existence of Guo Guo, a "friend", she would have died silently when she first entered the dormitory.
Guo Guo touched the tip of his nose: "Actually, we didn't help her at first, but just happened to let her hide for a while..."
Tang Xinjue: "Then she happened to survive."
The stress on the word "coincidentally" made Zhang You understand immediately: "This NPC has a special connection with us?"
As Guo Guo said, they didn't really help each other much, and they didn't place any hope on the survivability of the other party in the security room at that time.
But precisely because of their participation, the life trajectory of the other party has directly changed dramatically, as if...
"It's as if she can survive as long as we make a move!"
Guo Guo didn't know why this illogical idea popped up in her mind, she just followed Tang Xinjue and Zhang You's thinking, and then subconsciously came to this conclusion. Reading it again makes me feel ridiculous.
Tang Xinjue nodded, "From a certain point of view, it can be understood that this is actually the connection between special NPCs and candidates."
Guo Guo: "... I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand."
"Give me an example." Tang Xinjue explained unhurriedly: "Do you still remember the copy of Headless Ghost in Classic Movie Appreciation?"
The plot of the dungeon revolves around a special dormitory, and the four Jin Wen and Wei Xian in that dormitory are special NPCs to them.
The same is true for Grandma Mayas in the highway dungeon, and the female ghost in the original bedroom in the sanitation inspection dungeon.
"Our actions may not be able to change the final outcome of these NPCs, but they will definitely have a more or less impact on them. Similarly, their ending will also affect our dungeon process and evaluation. From the moment we enter the dungeon, we It’s a bond with each other.”
This time Guo Guo finally seemed to realize something, "So [it's all my husband] is also a special NPC? But does it have anything to do with saving her?"
If calculated according to this standard, should the squad leader and Fang Fangqiu in the next dormitory also be considered as special NPCs
Tang Xinjue shook her head: "This is what I just realized: the NPCs we met before don't need us to actively explore. As the main storyline progresses, they will naturally appear in front of us."
But if it is a survival type like zombie siege, the main plot is just a copy of the background board
"So I was thinking. Will there be a special kind of NPC that will not appear on its own initiative, but needs us to trigger it? If we haven't noticed, they will die like all ordinary NPCs. Once triggered, the special connection will be will come into being, appearing to us through duplication hints. Only then does the link to which she belongs begin to operate."
"In the game, we call it: side plot."
[It’s all about my husband: Potato Potato, I’m Eggplant, I’ve successfully left the supermarket, and now I’m hiding in the corner of the small garden near Building 3, checking the map, over. ]
The adaptability and acceptance of the girl opposite was higher than expected by the four of 606. From the moment she decided on the plan, while moving her location quickly, the speed of sending messages did not slow down at all.
I didn’t even forget to ask them: [Do you have enough food and drink in your dormitory? Do you need me to find some to take with you? ]
[Well, it's the first surprise face-to-face meeting anyway, so it's really embarrassing not to bring any gifts when I come to the door. Originally, I carefully prepared a box of homemade egg tarts, but when I was running for my life, I was too anxious and covered the faces of the zombies. ]
Guo Guo, who was still calm at first, finally broke his defense when he saw this:
"What? Egg tart!"
Unknowingly, she missed a whole box of egg tarts that just came out of the oven!
Guo Guo gnawed two bites of biscuits in grief and anger, and looked out of the window, his mood turned into worry: "The fog outside is getting heavier and heavier, won't she be affected?"
Zhang You looked at the photo sent by the other party: "The clarity of the ground is not bad. At present, it seems that the fog should increase at a constant speed. According to this speed, it will reach a concentration that makes it difficult to see the road when the next radio station starts."
As long as the girls can arrive in time during this time, the rest will be left to them.
Having said that, concerns about girls turn to the other side.
Guo Guo swallowed the biscuit and said cautiously:
"We, can we?"
She looked towards the sink.
Before washing the mirror, Tang Xinjue wiped the toilet seat, and her clean as new hair made a booing sound. It didn't disturb Bai Tuanzi, who was sleeping like a dead pig in the pool.
"Can."
She speaks clearly.
…
[It’s all about my husband: I have successfully left Building 3, and now I have arrived at the bicycle shed near Building 21. There seem to be some people nearby, but I’m not sure if I’m infected, over. ]
[Guo Guo: The distance is very close. Building 33 is at the end of the southward walk. ]
[It's all my husband: OK! ]
The girl looked at the map in the mobile phone file several times again, full of confidence: [I have memorized the map backwards, and I will definitely not make mistakes this time! ]
"this time"
Just as Guo Guo was distracted by the words, he was immediately turned back by the new pop-up message:
[It's all my husband: Scratch! Those people are coming my way! ! ! ]
She sent a few pictures, which were blurred in haste, but a row of crooked figures could be seen in the distance. It is difficult for normal people to get out of this rough pace.
Needless to say to 606, the girl had already slid and knelt and hid in the corner nearby, crawling behind several bicycles, her thumb flashing like lightning on the phone screen:
[I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I might die halfway through my career... By the way, haven't I told you my name yet? My name is Yu Wei, remember to mark the name when I burn the paper after death, otherwise I won't be able to grab it...
[Mist grass, fog grass, they are coming! ]
606 was afraid of making noise and affecting the other side, so he dared not reply any messages.
The phone remained silent for a long time, until Guo Guo's heart was cold, and a photo suddenly popped up in the dialog box.
In the photo, a group of people are gathering in front of the window on the first floor, reaching into the window as if they are pulling something.
There were streaks of dark blood dripping from the window sill, and it was unclear whether it was flesh or limbs piled up under the window. The arms of this group of people were also bloody, and there seemed to be sporadic blood spots splashing in the air.
Another photo was sent, and this time it was much clearer. A humanoid object could be seen being torn out of the window, its face still screaming and howling. His legs were being held by several hands inside the window, as if two groups of people were playing a game of tug-of-war.
Tang Xinjue observed for a few seconds: "It's the dormitory management lounge on the first floor of Building 21."
This university dormitory area is very similar to their real school. There is no student dormitory on the first floor, only a hot water room, a laundry room, a garbage room, and a rest room for the dormitory supervisor.
The boy who was torn apart in the photo looks young and should be a student hiding in the dormitory management lounge.
Guo Guosong breathed a sigh of relief: Now being able to post photos shows that the girl is still alive.
After a while, the words "typing" appeared in the chat box.
[It’s all about my husband: Thank God, the danger is temporarily lifted, I have already stayed away from the building just now, and I should be able to reach you soon]
[It's all my husband: By the way, did you see the photo I just posted? You were going to be at the scene just now, you must have been scared to death just like me. Because those people are all alive, alive! ! ]
606 was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood what she meant.
Tang Xinjue typed: [You mean, those gathered outside the window to catch people are not zombies, but students who have not been fully infected, right? ]
Yu Wei nodded like a pounding garlic: [That's right, that's what I mean. Not only can they walk, but they can also communicate and talk. The window was originally locked, but it was only after they coaxed and persuaded them outside that they opened it inside. ]
[As a result, as soon as the window was opened, the group of people suddenly violently arrested the person, pulled off the person's fingers and arms, and squeezed the window to get in. It is estimated that no one inside could escape. It was too scary. ]
She fled too hastily at the time, and she couldn't figure it out all the way until now. Those people were zombies, or weren't they
"Some people are still alive, but he is dead."
Tang Xinjue patted Guo Guo's head to wipe away the goosebumps all over his body: "The squad leader's appearance is just a preview. Next, we probably have to face many, many such [people]."
There are still 20 minutes until the radio is turned on next time.
There are still 20 minutes left before the fog completely covers the outside.
And at this moment, the input reminder on the other side of the phone suddenly appeared and disappeared, then appeared again, and disappeared again. It seems to be in a very tangled situation.
Guo Guo hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?" ]
[It's all about my husband:…]
[It's all my husband: One thing, that, it seems, I can't find your dormitory building. ]
She sent a photo and said in shame: [I could see it at first, but I suddenly couldn’t find it after I ran here. Is the fog blocking my vision? ]
The four of them took a closer look, and the dormitory building in the photo was marked with [Building 13].
Yu Wei waited anxiously for a few seconds, and finally received the message:
[It's not covered by fog, it's because you ran backwards. ]
Yu Wei: "..."
Yu Wei: "!!!"
[Building 13 is on the north side of Building 21, and Building 33 is on the south side of Building 21. The former is to the left along the parking shed exit, and the latter is to the right. They are two completely opposite paths. ]
Yu Wei's hand holding the phone trembled slightly. At the same time, the other end of the communication is still calmly making up the knife:
[Are you a little road idiot? ]
[It's all my husband: ... I'm sorry! ! ! (Kneeling.jpg)]
[It’s all about my husband: I didn’t hide it on purpose, I thought at least I wouldn’t get lost in the dormitory area, I overestimated myself (tears streaming down my face.jpg)]
[It's all about my husband: Don't give up on me, I can still save you! show me the map]
Just as Yu Wei tried to calm down and open the map file, she received another map from the other side.
Zhang You: [This is the route map from your current location to our dormitory building. Go straight in one line. If you feel wrong, please share your location at any time. We will wait for you at the end. ]
Yu Wei: [—Sister, I, He De, how can I have such a good friend like you, you are my reborn parents, wait for me, I will come right away! ]
This time she finally stopped chattering about sending messages, and the phone completely quieted down. Guo Guo also took advantage of this time to open the picture marked by Zhang Yougang.
If you follow this route, then Yu Wei's final destination should be...
She turned to look out the balcony window.
— Directly below their balcony!
Count down ten minutes.
There was no more news from the chat software, and the whole world seemed to have entered a strange state of silence.
Guo Guo counted the time, and suddenly realized another problem: "If she doesn't send a message, it's because the phone is out of battery, right?"
Ever since she was in the supermarket, Yu Wei had said that her mobile phone battery was dangerous. Even if it has a long standby life, it's time to strike by now.
What if she was downstairs and there was no way to tell them
Guo Guo and Zheng Wanqing looked at each other, they rushed to the balcony and almost ran into Zhang You.
Zhang You blocked it with a long hand, and said calmly: "Don't wait for too many people on the balcony, be careful to scare the snake away."
Then he comforted: "I am here with Xin Jue."
The two of them immediately felt more relieved, and they were still full of confidence in their roommate's ability to investigate.
Just as he finished speaking, a message suddenly popped up on Guo Guo's phone, but it didn't come from the account "It's all my husband".
[Neighbor Qiuqiu: Didi, I'll be downstairs right away! ]
Guo Guo:
[Qiu Qiu next door: I'm Yu Wei! ]
The opposite side continued to explain: [My mobile phone is out of battery, and I accidentally ran into a group of zombies when I was running from Building 13, so I couldn't find a power bank. I was afraid that I would not be able to contact you, so I went on and on and stole the mobile phone of one of the zombies]
[Neighbor Qiuqiu: I used to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but I didn't expect to be met by a dead mouse by my blind cat. You are really on the list, and I am endlessly hahahaha]
Guo Guo moved his gaze up slowly, glanced at the familiar nickname above, and combined with the fact that the other party just ran out from Building 13...
Isn't this the "Qiuqiu" in the next bedroom?
Yu Wei quickly sent another message: [I didn't make a mistake this time, I will be there soon, and I have seen your dormitory building! ]
Tang Xinjue and Zhang You looked at each other: [Okay, we will go down to pick you up]
[Qiuqiu next door: OK, but this side seems to be the back side, I need to wait a while and go around to find the main entrance... ]
[Don't look for the main entrance. ]
Yu Wei was taken aback: [Then how do you get in? ]
Tang Xinjue took the phone and said concisely: [Just enter here. ]
After the message was sent, she buckled the hemp rope around her waist and turned her body over the railing!
The bedroom is downstairs. At the same time, the girl hiding in the grass looked up blankly, her pupils constricted instantly—
Just above her, a figure fell straight down from the sixth floor along the wall outside the balcony? ? !
