The scream that almost pierced the sky seemed to be just a signal. After the signal ended, there was a brief silence, followed by more violent screams and cries. Since the place where the sound sounded was some distance away from the teaching building, The sound was somewhat covered by the wind, making it less real.
However, even if it wasn't real enough, the panic revealed in these voices came solidly.
"Did something happen?" Shen Tuchuan felt a little uneasy.
Ji Ting swallowed: "...Maybe." Fuck, she was already mentally prepared, but why is she still so nervous when the end of the world comes
"It seems to be the voice from the dormitory." Shen Tuchuan walked to the window and tried to look at the dormitory. Unfortunately, the snow was too frightening at the moment, and the fine white snowflakes blocked most of his sight. I can faintly see the door of the dormitory in the distance, and it seems that someone has stumbled out, but more people are blocked in the corridor, desperately banging on the locked door from the inside.
"Why didn't the door open?" Ji Ting walked to Shen Tuchuan with a solemn expression, and frowned after seeing the scene in the dormitory.
Shen Tuchuan pursed his lips: "It's not time for the door to open yet. Today I asked the dormitory to open the door before I came out. I guess the dormitory closed the door after I came out."
Ji Ting was stunned, and broke out in a cold sweat at the same time.
In the original text, the male supporting role got up early because of some insomnia that day. Now her arrival has a little impact on the plot, and he came out earlier to help her carry the suitcase. But no matter what the reason is, before she interfered with the plot, the male Everyone will come out of that door.
... But she is different, since there is no specific outbreak time for the zombie wave, she can only wait passively, and because she is not controlled by the plot, everything she experiences happens naturally. In other words, if it wasn't for insomnia this morning, she was probably still sleeping in the dormitory, and she might have been killed by the zombies that broke out in the dormitory at this moment.
Thinking of those roommates who couldn't wake up no matter how she washed and tidied up this morning, Ji Ting was terrified for a while.
"I didn't see the smoke, so it shouldn't be a fire, so what happened to cause such a big commotion?" Shen Tuchuan said, and turned to go out, but was stopped by Ji Ting, who looked at her inexplicably.
Ji Ting laughed dryly: "It looks so messy over there, what if you are in danger in the past now, you should call the police first."
Shen Tuchuan made sense when he heard it, so he took out his mobile phone to make a call, but after calling several times, there was no signal. When he was about to go out to try, a boy rushed in stumbled. When he saw them, he was startled at first, and then realized After seeing that the two of them were normal, they quickly locked the door behind them.
"Zhao Heng, what's the matter?" Seeing that he was a classmate in the class, Shen Tuchuan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are you from the dormitory? What happened? Why are you so noisy?"
"Monster... monster..." Zhao Heng's face was pale, trembling and speechless.
Shen Tuchuan and Ji Ting looked at each other, took the water cup to the water dispenser, got a cup of hot water and handed it to him: "What monster? Drink some water first, calm down and talk slowly."
Zhao Heng held the water glass in trembling hands, and the heat passed from his palms to his body. He finally came back to his senses, and said to them excitedly, "Those people in the dormitory have turned into monsters! We have to escape quickly!"
"What do you mean? When I came out, everyone was still sleeping soundly. Why did they suddenly become monsters?" Shen Tuchuan was puzzled.
Zhao Heng instantly remembered the horrible scene just now, and swallowed: "I don't know, when the wake-up bell rang just now, many people in my dormitory didn't wake up, and then I went to call them, but as soon as I lifted the quilt, they all woke up. ,At once… "
"Just what? Hurry up." Although he knew what his lines were, Ji Ting still couldn't help being anxious seeing him babbled so much. That's right, this Zhao Heng is one of the students who will push Shen Tuchuan's family to the pile of zombies in the future.
"I saw that their bodies were pale and their faces were distorted. When they saw me, they wanted to bite me. I was too scared and ran outside. Before I went downstairs, I saw someone biting me. I was bitten. Those people became as crazy as them, and continued to bite a normal person," Zhao Heng said with difficulty breathing, "I ran fast, those monsters didn't catch up with me, but many people didn't run out... "
Thinking of those normal people who fell beside him, tears welled up in Zhao Heng's eyes, as if he was about to collapse.
Ji Ting looked at the person in front of him coldly. Although he felt sad, painful and guilty about his companion's misfortune like a normal high school student at the moment, he would kill other people's lives for his own survival in a short time.
Shen Tuchuan patted Zhao Heng's shoulder, and didn't know what to say for a while. After all, what Zhao Heng said was too mysterious for him. A monster that can spread quickly, why doesn't it sound real at all
He subconsciously looked at Ji Ting, and then glanced at the direction of the door. Ji Ting nodded to him, and the two of them wanted to move two steps to the side, but as soon as they moved, Zhao Heng looked at them nervously: "Where are you going?"
"I don't know if there is the monster you mentioned in the teaching building. Let's go out and take a look. You should rest first, and we will be back soon." Ji Ting made up a random reason.
Zhao Heng met her gentle eyes, couldn't help but nodded, and then said cautiously: "Then come back quickly, I'm afraid alone."
Shen Tuchuan smiled at him comfortingly: "Understood."
After finishing speaking, he went out with Ji Ting, and the two of them walked silently all the way to the stairs at the end of the corridor. Shen Tuchuan turned to look at her when there was no way ahead, and asked after a moment of consideration: "Do you think what he said is true?" ?"
"He doesn't need to lie." Ji Ting blinked at him.
Shen Tuchuan pursed his lips and sighed for a while: "It's not that I suspect he's lying, but I think what he said may not be true."
Why does this sound so contradictory? Ji Ting was not in a hurry, but just watched him quietly, waiting for him to organize his words.
Shen Tuchuan took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "I suspect that the people in the dormitory collectively have hallucinations, which is why there is such a big panic."
"...Do so many people have hallucinations?" Ji Ting didn't expect that he called himself out specifically to say this, let alone that Zhao Heng had explained it in such detail, and he could find a scientific explanation.
Shen Tuchuan was very serious: "Believe it or not, there have been such cases before. People who received hints in the same environment are likely to have the same hallucinations... Although this kind of thing is rare, it sounds better than the previous classmates. Becoming a monster is convincing."
"Ah, you think so..." Ji Ting laughed, looking at him like watching the first dead character in a horror movie.
Another scream sounded, and Shen Tuchuan frowned deeply: "No, we must call the police as soon as possible, otherwise there will be big problems if this continues."
He was about to go downstairs, Ji Ting hurriedly grabbed his arm: "Where are you going?"
"The phone has no signal, so I'll take a taxi and call the police." Shen Tuchuan replied seriously.
The corner of Ji Ting's mouth twitched: "... I think it's better not to, if what Zhao Heng said is true, then wouldn't it be very dangerous for you to go out now, you must know that before leaving school, you have to go through the playground and the cafeteria, in case What if you get bitten by a monster?"
"How could it be?" Although it was inappropriate, Shen Tuchuan was still amused by her serious look, and after laughing, he seriously comforted him, "There are no monsters, really, you trust me."
Before he finished speaking, the screams of life and death came from far to near, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps, Ji Ting subconsciously pulled Shen Tuchuan to run, and only barely stopped after hearing that the footsteps were so fast that they didn't sound like zombies down. As soon as they stopped, two tall and burly students ran past them, creating a gust of wind.
"What are you two still doing in a daze? Why don't you run away! There are zombies!!!" Qian Peng, who took the lead in the class, saw Ji Ting and Shen Tuchuan while running and yelling to remind him that the grandson behind him Ling's body was stained with a lot of blood from nowhere, and it was very scary to run.
When they ran away in a hurry, Ji Ting immediately looked at Shen Tuchuan: "You still think it's a hallucination?" Did he see the blood on Sun Ling's body with his own eyes
"Of course it's a hallucination. Just now Zhao Heng said it was a monster, but Qian Peng said it was a zombie. It seems that their hallucinations are not exactly the same." Shen Tuchuan was still innocent and cute.
... Really, it was not easy for him to live long enough to wander around with his parents. Ji Ting had a headache, because she found that the most important thing now was not how to get rid of those three people in the class, but to make Shen Tuchuan realize the seriousness of the matter, otherwise she would not be able to stop this guy who insisted on leaving school now .
She was about to speak when a strange sound came from downstairs, which sounded a little like footsteps, and a little like something being dragged across the ground.
Ji Ting was thinking about how to explain to Shen Tuchuan, and didn't pay attention to the stairs behind her. When an animal-like roar sounded, she was instantly pulled behind by Shen Tuchuan, and at the same time, she saw the situation in front of her clearly. A man with twisted joints and a bloody face was climbing upstairs. Although his eyes were open, the eyeballs had turned gray and he seemed to be unable to see. His nose was still working. direction to climb.
Although Ji Ting had read the description about zombies in the original text, it was the first time she saw a living zombie. The three-dimensional image was far more terrifying than she imagined—
This thing on the ground is no longer a human being, its calf seems to be broken, and it is walking on its knees and hands at the moment. At this moment, the pants are completely worn out, and the bones are exposed on the knees. It seems that a face has been bitten before, and it is still flesh and blood at this moment. A blur, sensing their presence and baring their black gums at them.
But it was clearly wearing the same school uniform as them.
Ji Ting couldn't help retching, the sound stimulated the ferocity of the zombie, roaring and speeding up the rush. Shen Tuchuan trembled, finally recovered from the shock of the scene in front of him, grabbed Ji Ting's hand, turned and ran.
The two ran to the door of the classroom in one breath, pushed the door but did not open it, Ji Ting's heart sank. The group of grandchildren are fine, her box is still inside!
Seeing the zombies getting closer, Ji Ting gritted his teeth: "Let's go, go hide in another room."
As soon as the words were finished, the door opened. Zhao Heng poked his head out nervously, and yelled after seeing the zombies running this way: "Hurry up, come in, I'm coming!"
Ji Ting didn't expect them to open the door, and just after hesitating, Shen Tuchuan pushed him in, and the door was locked again in an instant. The zombies outside roared angrily, knocking on the door and trying to rush in. The five people in the classroom held their breath and stared at the trembling door stiffly.
After an unknown amount of time, the zombies outside finally stopped, and the surroundings finally became quiet. Qian Peng heaved a sigh of relief, fell to the ground limply, and stared at the ground in a daze: "What's going on, what's going on..."
"... I don't know, the dormitory manager was bitten, and the door of the dormitory was not opened in time. Many people failed to escape, and probably, probably won't come out." Sun Ling looked at the blood on his body and couldn't help sobbing.
As soon as he started to cry, there was the sound of zombies knocking on the door outside, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry immediately, with tears in his eyes, which was indescribably pitiful. Qian Peng walked up to him silently, stretched out his arms and hugged him, Zhao Heng stayed there for a long time, and then hugged him too, the three hugged each other tightly and wept silently, for the mutated world, and for the lost teacher and friend .
Shen Tuchuan's face turned pale, and he walked to them after a while, and said dryly, "Don't cry..." After saying these three words, he fell silent, because Zhao Heng pulled him over, and the four big boys fell silent. So hugged together.
Ji Ting watched this scene quietly, feeling indescribably complicated. In the original text, the male partner and others were sleepy at school for nearly three days before they were picked up by their parents. During these three days, they should have depended on each other. Since it was a friendship that depended on each other, why couldn’t they resist the evil in human nature in the end and destroyed Shen Tuchuan with their own hands? What about the family
There was no sound in the classroom, and soon the knocking on the door disappeared. Ji Ting glanced out through the small glass opening on the door panel, and after making sure that the zombies had left, he came back and walked around the classroom for a while. After seeing the surrounding environment, his eyes fell on the TV in the middle of the blackboard.
She walked over and opened it directly. Sure enough, news about zombies was being broadcast on the TV. The four boys froze for a moment when they heard the word 'zombies', and immediately looked this way. Ji Ting was afraid of attracting zombies, so he turned the volume down so low that he could only hear it clearly if he was close to the TV. The four of them immediately ignored their sentimentality and gathered together to watch the news.
According to the news, the root cause of the zombie virus this time is environmental pollution, coupled with six months of abnormal weather, the human immune system has been greatly challenged, and finally broke out collectively in one day. Zombies have multiplied geometrically, and the world is in chaos.
When they saw that the zombie wave was not limited to the school, everyone's expressions changed. Shen Tuchuan turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled down by Ji Ting: "Why are you going?"
"...Go home and see my parents." Shen Tuchuan's face was pale.
Ji Ting's face turned cold: "Didn't you read the news? Now there is the same wave of zombies outside. If you go out now, are you sure you can come back home alive?"
"But… "
"Calm down first." Ji Ting held his face and forced him to look at him. After he looked at him, his voice became softer, "What are your parents' jobs?"
"My dad is a soldier...my mom owns a security company." Shen Tuchuan tried hard to calm down, and for the first time in eighteen years he felt terrified.
Ji Ting gently comforted: "Your parents are very powerful, they are more capable of self-protection than you, right?"
Shen Tuchuan looked at her fixedly, and nodded slightly after a long while. Although Ji Ting hasn't been with the male supporting role in this world for too long, she knows 'Shen Tuchuan', so she knows that he has been persuaded to come down by herself now.
As soon as Shen Tuchuan calmed down, Sun Ling sobbed softly: "My parents are getting old, they don't have the ability to protect themselves..."
When he said this, Qian Peng and Zhao Heng also had red eyes, as if they were about to cry at any time. Even if they will become something inferior to animals in the near future, but now they are only half-grown children, and they will only miss their parents when disaster strikes.
Ji Ting didn't have parents, but he could understand them. After a moment of silence, he quietly walked aside to give them time to sort out their emotions.
Even if they are worried about their family members, they don't have the ability to go back now. They can only hide in place and wait for rescue as the news reminds them.
"There is only water in the classroom. If we stay here all the time, will we starve to death?" Sun Ling asked with a sob.
As soon as he asked this question, the faces of the people present became serious. Ji Ting glanced at the box in the corner and said calmly: "It's not just about starving to death. The teaching building is the most densely populated place except the dormitory. , of course there will be a lot of infected people, so we have to go."
"Where are you going?" Zhao Heng asked immediately.
"The library." Ji Ting replied without hesitation. In the original text, after the male supporting parents enter the school, the first place they go to is the library. If they wait in the library from the beginning, they will be able to advance at least ten hours Meet up with the male partner's parents.
After she finished speaking, she saw that few people were silent, so she spoke again: "The library usually opens after nine o'clock. At this time, there are the fewest people there, so there will be fewer zombies, and it is near the back door of the school. Once there is rescue, You can be rescued immediately, what do you think?"
When she said this, Zhao Heng and others agreed, and just about to nod, they heard Shen Tuchuan say: "No."
Ji Ting, Zhao Heng and others all looked at him, and Shen Tuchuan was silent for a moment: "Everywhere is in chaos now, the police must not be manned enough, and I don't know when the rescue will come here, the library has nothing to eat, we are there Even if it is safe, not having food will be our biggest threat, so it is better to go to the supermarket."
"Shen Tuchuan also makes sense." Qian Peng muttered in a low voice.
Ji Ting didn't expect that Shen Tuchuan would become his biggest stumbling block, but his proposal is undoubtedly the most reliable without God's perspective. After all, guarding the supermarket means that he has the confidence to go on—
It's a pity that they are smart, and they are not stupid. According to the original plot, the supermarket has already been looted once at this moment, and there is little food and water left, but it was directly locked from inside by a few students. So when they go there now, it's just a waste of time.
But Ji Ting can't say these things, otherwise there is no way to explain, she thought for a moment and looked at Shen Tuchuan: "Then do as you say." Anyway, the supermarket is between the teaching building and the library, so it is also Not a detour.
"... Mmm." Seeing that she didn't object anymore, Shen Tuchuan was relieved.
As soon as the discussion came to an end, several people immediately moved closer to the door and looked out. After making sure that no one was there, they opened the door and were about to go out. However, as soon as they took a step, they heard the sound of wheels behind them, and the four boys turned their heads immediately.
Ji Ting: "...I'll carry a suitcase."
"What time is it? If you take the box now, you will attract zombies!" Sun Ling protested softly.
Ji Ting smiled mischievously, and picked up the box directly: "I won't let it ring."
"Then you can't run fast, do you want to be dragged down by a box..."
"It's okay, I'll take it for her," Shen Tuchuan went over to take the box from her after finishing speaking, and then smiled apologetically at Sun Ling, "It won't affect anything."
Sun Ling originally cared about it with good intentions, but when he saw that they insisted on this, and then thought that this thing was a relic of Ji Ting's parents, he didn't say anything, just murmured in disapproval.
Shen Tuchuan and Ji Ting walked out behind them. As they walked, the two of them led the way. Ji Ting paused, only to find that the three had already walked behind them. Looking around nervously.
Ji Ting: "..."
The five people walked forward in twos and threes. After passing through the long corridor, they finally reached the stairs. He listened carefully to the movement downstairs, made sure that there was no sound, and then walked down. Just as he descended a step, there was a roar from behind, which turned out to be the zombie who hit the door just now.
Sun Ling didn't expect that he would bump into a zombie at the end of his walk, and immediately let out a terrified roar. It was too late when Ji Ting tried to stop it, and the same roar of zombies began to come from downstairs.
Ji Ting cursed secretly, pulled Shen Tuchuan around and ran away, and the remaining three followed closely. The zombies who were chasing after them at first were easily left behind because they were crawling.
They changed to another staircase and went downstairs. Since the zombies were attracted to the previous staircase, they ran down smoothly all the way, but before reaching the first floor, a zombie with intact limbs suddenly He rushed out from behind the pillar and rushed towards Ji Ting.
Shen Tuchuan shouted: "Be careful!" The next second he pulled Ji Ting behind him, and blocked it with a box without thinking.
The zombie threw itself on the box, and grabbed Shen Tuchuan with its blackened nails. Shen Tuchuan was forced to let go, and the heavy box hit the ground with a clear sound.
Before he could pick it up, the zombies that had been attracted to the stairs rushed over here. Shen Tuchuan wanted to save the box, but Ji Ting gritted his teeth and dragged him out. The box was abandoned alone. .
At this time, the three of them had already run out of the teaching building.
