…
Even though he knew that the student union was blatantly cheating, 606 couldn't refute it.
Being able to successfully evade the rules shows that their wave of "trauma" is as good as it gets. It was even doubtful that as long as they could refuse to answer Tang Xinjue's call, they would not hesitate to release the ashes of their teammates.
"I'm sorry to hear the news." Tang Xinjue quickly caught up with the situation, and said sincerely: "If Xiao Ming's injury is too serious, you can temporarily send it to our dormitory for care."
Lily was taken aback: "Do you still have mu... first aid facilities in your dormitory?"
Tang Xinjue looked at the toilet bowl: "First aid may not be guaranteed, but maybe you can deal with the funeral with one click."
A ghost at the student council level, I haven't tasted toilet flushing yet.
Lily: "... no, thank you!"
The radio hastily hung up, announcing the end of today's fixed source of information.
"It's a pity, but it also shows that they really can't reveal more." Tang Xinjue didn't have much regret.
After all, pulling the wool is not about killing all the sheep, it is not good to just pull out the sheep.
Maybe it was to gag, today the student union gave three pieces of information in one breath:
1. The second round of mutation has ended, including all virus-infected people, and those who have not fully mutated are no exception. The mutated content is suspected to have enhanced the strength and speed of the infected.
2. The fully infected people have reached 40% of the total number of people in the campus, while the uninfected people are less than 15%.
3. Off-campus support will arrive at noon on the third day, and some supplies will be randomly distributed by airdrop.
"The support is finally here!" Yu Wei cheered up, and said longingly: "I wonder if we can apply to be rescued?"
"Thinking too much." Zhang You ruthlessly crushed the girl's fantasies: "Even this material, whether I can get it is unknown."
The airdrop is only available once a day, on a first-come, first-served basis. The time when it appears must be the moment when all the students are staring at it, and those who take it will naturally be exposed to countless eyes.
There are too many monks and too few porridge, so a battle is inevitable.
"Fortunately, we don't lack supplies." Guo Guo let out a long sigh of relief, and stuffed another biscuit into his mouth.
It was time for several people to eat. After yesterday's busy work without touching the ground, everyone was so hungry that they could eat a cow. Even Tang Xinjue, who had the least need for food, quickly settled for three bags of bread and a bottle of water.
There is no doubt that the students who ran for their lives all day yesterday will only be more tired and hungry, not to mention that they don't have 606's food reserves. How these people find something to satiate their stomachs is an urgent problem.
Thinking of this, Guo Guo realized: "No wonder there were so many people rushing to the student camp yesterday afternoon."
If the dormitory has run out of ammunition and food, the supermarket outside has already been swept away, and there is no way to risk wandering around the campus looking for food, if you want to avoid starving to death, you can only go to the stronghold to try your luck.
From what she and Yu Wei recorded yesterday, there are at least three groups of student strongholds in the dormitory area, which are located in three different directions.
It is impossible to set up a stronghold that can accommodate many people in ordinary dormitories or remote high-rises. It must be a sparsely populated location that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Several people checked the map and found that they were likely to be located in the East Gate cafeteria, infirmary, and student affairs management center in sequence.
Zhang You raised a question: "According to common sense, the infirmary is likely to be the hardest-hit area for zombies. How can we build a stronghold?"
At the beginning of the virus leak, the news has not yet been transmitted, and the infected students will definitely go to the infirmary for consultation or treatment as soon as possible when they find that their bodies are abnormal.
Tang Xinjue: "The infirmary doesn't open until 9 o'clock in the morning, and the virus has already spread to the whole school before 9 o'clock."
She called up another group chat record from a few days ago. On it, several students complained about the short opening hours of the infirmary. The words revealed that there seemed to be several problems with the medicine, and they were frequent visitors of the school wall hangers. Except for work-study student assistants, very few students go there these days.
"The same is true for Dongmen Canteen."
Tang Xinjue drew the common points of several possible locations: the door opens late, the door is usually deserted, and some students have the key to open the door.
"If it's a cafeteria, there may be ingredients in the back kitchen, and medicines for bruises in the infirmary... What does the Student Affairs Management Center have?" Guo Guo was very confused about the prospects of these strongholds.
"No, no, no." Yu Wei shook her head like a rattle: "I ran into the back kitchen of one of the cafeterias, and there was no food in it, and the food bucket and freezer seemed to be emptied. The face is clean."
"Eh?" In the middle of this chatter, Yu Wei suddenly realized something: "Could the food be moved away by the people who established the stronghold?"
Tang Xinjue had a thought, raised his eyes and said, "I remember that besides the cafeteria, you also went to the supermarket."
Yu Wei nodded fiercely: "Not just one, I found three stores just by sneaking in, two chains, one milk tea shop, and one breakfast..."
"Do you remember the scenes in these supermarkets? Is there anything in common?"
The girl thought for a while: "Are the food shelves empty?"
"How about more details?"
Yu Wei frowned and thought hard, and finally clapped her hands: "I figured it out! Some stores are so empty!"
She tried to describe: "Do you understand that the shelves in some stores are particularly chaotic, and a lot of unused things are taken away, and the shelves are also toppled over. But in some stores, all the shelves are neatly blank, as if they were taken away by others. Take it all away in one breath..."
Others quickly found the key point from Yu Wei's description:
If many groups of people enter the supermarket to loot one after another, the amount each person can take is limited, coupled with the rush and nervous emotions, the store will be chaotic, and the goods will be dropped all over the floor.
But if at the beginning, a group of people cleared the supermarket of all the goods, and the people behind had nothing to take and would not waste time, then the store would show two characteristics of neatness and emptiness at the same time.
"These people are numerous, organized and ahead of everyone else."
Once the details are laid out, the answer becomes obvious:
Tang Xinjue: "They are probably the same group of people who established the student base."
In other words, the student base was not built in a hurry yesterday at noon—some of the students who learned the news in advance did not evacuate, but stayed in the school to hoard supplies in advance, and only then did they have the current base.
"Could they have something to do with the lab?"
Guo Guo made a bold guess.
"But if this is the case, why didn't they merge into one stronghold, but divided into three? Do these strongholds know each other?"
Zhang You found another logical doubt.
When it was Zheng Wanqing's turn, she opened her mouth. She couldn't think of anything to ask for a moment, and simply said, "If these people all turn into zombies, can we beat them?"
"..."
Tang Xinjue said calmly, "Obviously, we don't know the answers to these questions."
If you want to know everything, the method is also very simple: either they go out, or the students come here.
After a while, Tang Xinjue made a final decision:
"wait."
There are tens of thousands of students in the dormitory area, even if the survival rate is less than 15%, there are still more than a thousand students. Over time, these people will continue to flock to the student stronghold.
How much food stock can feed more than a thousand people for five days
"Tomorrow at the latest, today at the earliest, there should be movement in the dormitory area."
Tang Xinjue looked at the "stronghold" closest to Building 33 on the map - the infirmary. It is less than 50 meters away from here, and it is a small three-story building hidden between two dormitory buildings. From the balcony of 606, we can only see a path leading to the side door, which is shaded by greenery.
A sparrow suddenly sprang out from the nearby grass, and before it could even flap its wings to take off, it was caught by a bloody hand even faster and dragged into the thick grass.
The sun was dazzling, and the campus was quiet.
Facts have proved that the zombies are not active during the day.
Since the mighty door-banging army last night, the corridor has been calm all day today.
The corpses of the zombies that were crowded at the door seemed to have evaporated, leaving only bloodstains and a few heads on spikes.
The five people cleaned up the outside of the door, relying on the fact that there was no one outside, they threw garbage at high altitude very arrogantly. After throwing away the garbage, Yu Wei vomited again on the balcony by the way.
In just 24 hours, from making egg tarts to making kebabs with human heads, the excitement was a bit beyond the heart load.
The people in 606 replaced the door with a new batch of spikes. This time, they made new ones. They stretched two iron chains and nailed them through the walls on both sides at the height of a human head, directly enclosing a few square meters around the door of 606.
There is still a row of iron spikes tied to the iron chain. For a human, one can just bend over, but for a zombie, they can probably only pass by stepping on the sacrificial head of their companions.
If it wasn't for the lack of materials and time, Tang Xinjue even wanted to "decorate" the entire corridor.
Because they discovered that it is not only the "human flavor" that can attract zombies, they will also catch up with each other along the traces. So after nightfall, as long as one zombie climbs up to the sixth floor, more zombies will follow one after another.
"Oh, it would be great if we could just stop them from coming up." Guo Guo sighed, "But we can't enclose the entire sixth floor..."
She sighed for a while, but when she turned around, she found that there was no sound around her.
"What's the matter with you, why don't you talk?"
After a few seconds of silence, Tang Xinjue's eyes were burning, and he said:
"Who said we can't enclose the sixth floor?"
Guo Guo:?
Yu Wei who just came back from vomiting:? ?
two hours later. Looking at the new look of the corridor, Yu Wei drank half a bottle of water to calm down.
Using the limited materials at hand, Tang Xinjue abruptly made a corridor layout with five steps, one pit, and ten steps, one trap. Spreading all the way to the rest room next to the stairs, the balcony with glass on all sides was turned into a large "zombie trap" - pouring toilet cleaners and water all over the floor.
Put the zombie that bumped into it during the transformation process, and then saw it start to climb up repeatedly - throwing five bodies to the ground - climbing up again - throwing the ground again...
Five minutes ago, Yu Wei couldn't believe that she would feel sympathy for zombies.
She returned to the dormitory with hands and feet, and saw Guo Guo worriedly asking Tang Xinjue:
"By the way, we've gone out N times, will it be okay?"
After all, the dungeon has repeatedly warned them not to go out, and they have evolved from spreading their wings on the verge of danger to flying wildly on the way to free themselves, even trying to kick the danger out of two miles.
Tang Xinjue said rigorously: "Then it depends on how to judge the position of [the door]."
"If the entire sixth floor belongs to 606, then we are at most taking a walk at home, how can we call out?"
