"where?"
Guo Guo immediately focused: "Is it a living person or a zombie?"
Yu Wei quickly stuffed the remaining pieces of potato chips into her mouth: "Look at Ba too clearly, it feels more like being injured and provoking a living person."
Guo Guo quickly recorded: "8 to 15 people, injured, walking along the grass, very vigilant, clear destination..."
Without further analysis, the two of them almost guessed the purpose of this group of people.
They must go to the student stronghold.
In the following afternoon, the two observed eight or nine batches of such "migrating" students, traveling in different directions, and probably not going to the same stronghold.
Sunset on the west mountain, dusk falls.
The dormitory area without electricity became extremely dim, and the vision in the distance could hardly be seen. Tang Xinjue and Zhang You finally returned with a full load, washed off the blood on their bodies, packed up their things and had dinner.
The moment she saw the inside of the 606 refrigerator, Yu Wei completely lost her worries about supplies, and even felt that it would be okay to eat for another month.
"Now eat more and get a good night's sleep."
Tang Xinjue said concisely: "The situation will become troublesome at night."
I don't know if it's because the night fell and the time for the next wave of mutations approached. They always felt that the cold air was thicker, and they couldn't dispel the coldness even if they put on coats.
"It's getting more and more dangerous out there."
Tang Xinjue tightened his cuffs and pulled up his hat, his voice was colder than during the day.
"I'll be back in about two hours."
Zheng Wanqing: "I'm with you."
Tang Xinjue: "I am enough for myself, you stay in the dormitory and guard the main entrance."
Zhang You nodded: "Guo Guo and I guard the balcony."
Yu Wei swallowed the biscuit with difficulty, rubbed her sweaty palms, and emotionally felt that she should stand up and share the effort, but her rationality told her that not holding back the big brother was considered an extraordinary performance.
After thinking about it seriously, she whispered, "I'll sew clothes for you, and I won the first prize in the whole school by hand, super nb."
…
As the clock moved backwards a little bit, the low growl outside the window became more and more obvious.
At first it was just the bottom floor, and then it gradually spread to the second and third floors... until there were footsteps outside the door.
Yu Wei's heart stopped beating for a moment.
Guo Guo looked calm, but in fact, he had already pinched the pendant tightly, looking anxiously at the direction Tang Xinjue left.
Theoretically, now is the best time to go out and look for clues. Once it passes 12 o'clock, the danger factor outside will inevitably increase significantly.
But looking at the bottomless night, they still couldn't help feeling uneasy about being on an isolated island.
Zhang You comforted her: "It's okay, if I don't come back for two hours, I will go to receive the heart formula."
Guo Guo took a deep breath: "In the flag, this is usually called the gourd baby saves grandpa."
Zhang You: "..."
Before he could make another sound, the sound of footsteps outside the door sounded again.
It looked like something was pulling its legs and moving, gradually approaching the door.
"boom!"
The door was slammed hard, and the muffled sound of the trembling iron door became more clear in the silent night.
Zombies are coming!
Zheng Wanqing signaled them to be silent, and mouthed, "I can hold on."
A person's strength cannot easily break through the iron door, and the same is true for zombies.
Everyone settled down and waited quietly for a few seconds before hearing another sound of walking from far to near amidst the slow impact.
"Bang-bang!"
Outside the door, two bodies collided alternately.
Everyone: ... A bad premonition came to mind.
Sure enough, within ten minutes, the third zombie also joined the door-slamming camp.
The sound of the iron door changed from thud to bang, and the three iron chains swayed and clashed, spreading the sound like a rusty rock performance scene, shaking the ears of several people in the room.
"No, if this continues, the sound will definitely attract more infected people."
Zheng Wanqing's face was serious.
As soon as the night entered, these zombies seemed to suddenly come alive. There were all kinds of strange noises in the originally empty corridor, and there were rustling sounds of unknown objects in the direction of the stairs in the distance, mixed together irregularly. People can't tell the specific situation at all.
"There are two possibilities for the increase in zombies. One is that the students who hid in other dormitories during the day did not escape the infection and left the dormitory to rush into the corridor. The other is the zombies gathered in the hall on the first floor."
Speaking of this, Zhang You frowned: "...they started to climb the stairs."
The second possibility is quite strange just to mention it. Why do zombies gather downstairs during the day and climb upstairs at night? Paying homage to the moon
"So at the moment I am more inclined to the first one. The zombies outside are originally from the nearby dormitory. They may smell us, hear our voice, or some other attraction mechanism."
The student union radio station did not disclose the characteristics of the zombies. In order to prevent being smelled, several people sprayed every corner of the room with toilet water, and wrapped their bodies tightly without leaving any blood.
Even so, it failed to prevent the 606 gate from being attacked.
"The fourth one."
Zheng Wanqing drew out a sharp short knife.
Yu Wei's hair stood on end: "I, are we going to fight the zombies with bayonets?"
Zhang You comforted her: "This iron door was not knocked open so quickly. Even if a group of zombies kept crashing, it would take at least a few hours. You can still sleep now and wake up in the early morning."
Yu Wei: ... Does she look like she can fall asleep soundly with the sound of zombies knocking on the door
She didn't dare to go to the weapon rack to pull out the shovel, so she picked out a Nokia and an 8878 gold local tyrant phone from the pile of mobile phones, and held them in her hands to enhance her sense of security.
Boom! bang bang bang!
From time to time, the door lock made harsh noises of being scratched by fingernails, and there was even the sound of keys rubbing—a few people were excited, and immediately heard that the locking holes of the object were not aligned. The zombies seemed to give up after a few tries, and continued to use their heads and iron sheets Head-to-head.
"Ah, if I knew it earlier, I should have installed a 10cm thick alloy anti-theft door with a fingerprint lock and door mirror."
Guo Guo covered her head, now she finally knew why she saw the phantom on the door in the dormitory renovation dream - isn't this the zombies rushing outside the door at the moment!
Fortunately, they chose to change the bedroom door at that time, otherwise, given the hardness of the original wooden door, they should have started shopping by now.
After half an hour, several people began to feel that it would be better to go shopping directly.
Even facing the zombies right away is better than suffering here!
Every second that the zombies slammed outside was involuntarily hanging high, and the stronger dormitory door only prolonged the torture—especially the longer it took, the more difficult it was to know what was going to happen next.
It is possible that the door lock will be knocked open in the next second, or it may be another three hours, or even...
"It seems that someone is coming."
Zheng Wanqing suddenly made a sound.
—Aren’t there people coming outside our door all the time
Guo Guo was stunned for a second, then immediately realized: What Zheng Wanqing said was a literal person!
Zheng Wanqing wasn't sure if she heard it correctly, so she asked Zhang You to go too, and the latter listened for two seconds, then nodded to confirm: "That's right, it's indeed a human being."
One is because human footsteps have a rhythm, which is completely different from that of zombies. The second reason is that since the sound appeared, the force of the impact outside the dormitory door has weakened significantly.
They seem to be attracted by people who come by.
A guess suddenly appeared in Guo Guo's mind, and he stood up abruptly from the chair: "Could it be—"
At this moment, the screams and headshots of the zombies exploded from the door at the same time!
"Heart formula!"
Zheng Wanqing was about to press the doorknob without hesitation, but was stopped by Zhang You: "Check first."
"No need to confirm."
Guo Guo uttered a voice from behind, with the screen of the mobile phone standing on her palm: "God Jue is calling."
After it was connected, the other end of the speaker really had the same noisy environment as that outside the door.
Tang Xinjue's voice sounded effortless: "There's no need to open the door. There aren't many people outside the door. I'll go in in a while."
Before the words fell, there was another sound of blood splattering, something hit the receiver, and the signal became unclear. Only Tang Xinjue's voice can be vaguely heard:
"The phone is bleeding... Forget it, let's go back and fix it."
Compared with the unremitting wave of knocking on the door, this riot outside the door stopped quickly. A few minutes later, a normal knock sounded from the iron door:
"it's me."
It was Tang Xinjue's voice.
"I think you need to explain."
Zhang You looked at Tang Xinjue calmly.
If you ignore that she helped the frame three times in one minute.
Tang Xinjue also said calmly: "Put down the shovel first, everything will be easy to talk about."
"..."
In the quiet dormitory, only Yu Wei huddled in the corner alone and dared not make a sound.
In fact, she was shocked when she saw Tang Xinjue enter the door. If it wasn't for the recognition of the other three people in 606, she almost thought it was a zombie—
Tang Xinjue's whole body was soaked in blood, and the shovel and dagger at his waist had long been deformed, leaving only a bloody Hula, which looked like a toilet shovel in his hand, and the rubber head was covered with minced meat .
It's scarier than ghosts!
"There was an accident, I couldn't go to the balcony, so I had to copy it back from the corridor."
Tang Xinjue wiped the blood with a wet paper towel, but found that it was impossible to wipe off the blood, so he had no choice but to pour a water bottle on his head.
After changing the clothes and blood, Zhang You's expression softened when he saw that there was no wound on the opponent's body:
"We didn't hear any movement of zombies in the dormitory you went to. Was it blocked by the knocking on the door?"
Coming back from the main door of the dormitory means that you have to face the zombies in the corridor. Tang Xinjue is not Zheng Wanqing's irritable character, unless the situation is really difficult, she will not change the plan hastily.
Tang Xinjue shook his head:
"This time it's not zombies, it's people."
Before 12 o'clock, she gave a brief overview of what had happened during the two hours.
There are 24 bedrooms in a corridor, and a maximum of 12 bedrooms can be accessed from the balcony on one side. After sweeping in the afternoon, there are still 7 bedrooms that have not been set foot. And her original plan was to find the dungeon information here.
In the last room at the end of the corridor, information and surprise appeared at the same time.
Tang Xinjue took out a ball of paper from his arms, the blood stains hadn't parted, and the blurred words could still be seen on it.
[Experiment No. 091]
[Process... mutated virus]
[Experiment period: 5 to 7 days]
[Tuning rate 875... Approach degree 0.718... Matching failure]
[Open recycling]
[Recovery time: September 20th]
Guo Guo: "September 20th, isn't it today!"
But she read these words several times, and still only understood half of them.
The experiment can understand, what is the experiment recycling
The experimental cycle can be understood, but what are the adjustment rate and the degree of approach
Guo Guo failed to understand it with what he had learned all his life, but Guo Guo only came to an intuitive conclusion: "Is this information very important?"
Tang Xinjue: "Yes."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been attacked the moment she got the paper.
At first, it was a few ambush devices, and then there was an unknown gas gushing out of the room. When she returned to the balcony, the whole balcony suddenly collapsed, and there was an extremely strong sense of danger.
The sense of danger told her that as long as she opened the balcony window, she would unlock even trickier things.
In contrast, walking through the pile of zombies in the corridor has become a safer choice.
"Fortunately, there are not many zombies." Tang Xinjue did not exaggerate: "If the scale reaches dozens, I will call for your help as soon as I see it."
Zhang You subconsciously thought of a certain flag: "The gourd baby saved grandpa?"
Guo Guo: "..."
Gathering crowds and banging on the door was temporarily resolved, but the atmosphere in the dormitory was not much more relaxed.
Because zero o'clock is coming.
Even if there were only a few tens of minutes left, 606 was not idle. Tang Xinjue discussed briefly with Zhang You and the others, found some sharp iron or wood on the spot, and started to rush to work immediately.
Zheng Wanqing's right hand came in handy at this time, the effect of chopping with her hands was comparable to that of a saw blade, and after a while, huge spikes appeared on the ground.
Yu Wei silently stayed away from this beautiful woman's steel prosthesis, wanted to help but couldn't do anything, so she could only quietly grab Guo Guo's sleeve: "Well, what are you doing now?"
Guo Guo raised a thorn and said excitedly: "Do fortifications!"
Tang Xinjue corrected: "No, it's for some decorations."
Soon, Yu Wei saw the true face of the "decoration":
These spikes were firmly hung outside the dormitory door by a few iron chains, each with a cold glow, facing the outside!
After replenishing the decoration manually, the upgraded version of the thorny iron gate was slammed shut with the chime of zero o'clock.
Don't like knocking on doors? Then have a good time.
…
The five people didn't know what happened to the zombie after 12 o'clock. They only knew that there was another wave of knocking on the door.
The only difference is that this time the movement changed from a piercing thud to a thud like cutting a watermelon.
It is estimated that the door was jammed at the back, and the front corpse blocked the rear corpse. In the middle of the night, all the sounds gradually became quiet again. Several people actually slept soundly until dawn.
That night, it is unknown how the other students in the dungeon slept, but when the student union radio rang again, they knew that the student union must have not slept well.
——Especially when Tang Xinjue got on the phone, the strong sense of despair and exhaustion almost rushed out of the radio.
Guo Guo: "When I got up for my internship on Monday morning, I didn't seem to want to die as much as they seemed."
This time Lily was silent for a full minute, as if she had made some major decision, she solemnly spoke:
"Dear students, I'm sorry, we have to interrupt the latest announcement. Due to the sudden major trauma within the student union, it is unable to undertake the radio question-and-answer business. This project will be temporarily closed along with the incoming call channel."
"Oh?" Tang Xinjue was quite interested: "Where is the major trauma?"
There was no immediate answer on the phone. There was a sound of fists and kicks suspected of fighting, and after a few seconds, another host Xiao Ming's miserable cry resounded through the radio station, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and being dragged.
Lily's voice came back again, panting slightly but with a brisk tone, she said confidently: "Now there is."
