As one of the few female students in the School of Geological Engineering, Lian Runing often exercises in order to keep up with the team when she goes out to explore and survey. Rao is so, facing the perseverance and tireless chasing of the zombies, she gradually became exhausted.
"I can't run anymore..." Lian Runing's will gradually disintegrated. She looked at the figure that was getting closer and closer. The choices of life and death were intertwined in her mind, and the contradictions burst violently and tragically.
In the end, the desire to survive was better than the idea of dying, she gritted her teeth, turned her head and ran up the mountain.
In normal times, she is quite comfortable walking on rugged mountain roads and mountains. But now she is out of physical strength, and she feels exhausted when she climbs again.
Suddenly, her feet slipped, and her whole body threw herself on the muddy ground. Gravel of varying thickness ripped through the skin of her palm, and she slid down some distance.
She had kept a distance from the zombie, but because of this, the zombie approached her. She turned her head to see the hideous face rushing towards her, her heart was cold, and she didn't dare to open her eyes to see her death.
At this moment, a footstep sound was heard above the head, followed by a knocking sound, and the zombie made a strange cry. Lian Runing seemed to sense something, and opened her eyes suddenly, and saw a figure holding a one-meter-long wooden stick in his hand desperately smashing at the zombie's head.
The zombie aimed at the person who was dealing with it, but the attack after another made it unable to find any flaws. At this moment, the man slammed into its chest and kicked it back to the foot of the mountain.
"Climb up quickly!" The man called out to Lian Ru Ning, who recovered and continued to run up the mountain.
The zombie got up from the ground and chased the two of them again, but it was a little difficult for it to advance in an inclined place. Otherwise, it would not let the prey get farther and farther away from it under its eyes.

Lian Ru Ning's physical strength has reached the limit, and if she keeps running, she probably won't need her legs tomorrow. She stumbled, and she fell to the ground, dizzy enough to pass out.
Hao Jian heard the movement, turned around, and said in a voice that was not in a hurry: "Get up and continue running."
Lian Runing shook her head, her eyes were dim, and she felt that the air in her lungs was so cold that it hurt her.
Hao Jian went back and looked around, knowing that the zombies couldn't catch up with them for the time being, so he stopped urging Lian Ruling to get up. When she reached for the water in her backpack, she realized that she was still holding the blood-stained wooden stick tightly, and her hands were shaking all the time.
It was the first time she fought against zombies, and she could understand why zombies in games and movies are so scary. That zombie is painless and tireless. If she hadn't tried her best to beat the zombie's head again and again to stop it from attacking again and again, she would have been caught on the skin and infected!
Although her perspective did not hit her heart because of the game, the emotion of escaping from death still swept through her whole body.
Throwing down the stick, she stabilized her mood, took out the water glass, and shook it again: "Are you still alive?"
Lian Ru Ning moved a bit, and finally regained clarity. Although his throat and lungs were on fire, he finally passed out without going into shock.
"Slow down first and drink some water."
When Lian Runing saw the water, it was like seeing a life-saving straw. She grabbed it and drank a large bottle. After taking a breath and drinking it to the bottom, she felt alive again.
"..." Hao Jian looked at the bottomed water glass and felt sorry for his water.
"Thank you." Lian Runing raised her eyes and expressed her heartfelt thanks. However, after realizing that he had finished drinking other people's water, he felt rather embarrassed, "I was very thirsty, so I accidentally finished it, I..."
Hao Jian was silent for a moment, then put the water glass back: "I don't plan to rely on a bottle of water for the rest of my life anyway, I'll just refill it after drinking it." This is what she said to herself.
"Thank you." Lian Runing said again. Hao Jian blinked and seemed a little puzzled.
"This is to thank you for saving me." Lian Runing explained. When she said this, her eyes were clear and bright, and a smile flashed in her eyes, which reflected in Hao Jian's eyes, causing ripples in her heart.
Suddenly feeling bad, she exclaimed in her heart, "System, did you make a fool of yourself?"
The system feels innocent: "The system cannot interfere with the host's actions, nor can it distort the host's mind."
"You can be implanted in my mind, so I remain skeptical!"
The system died down and stopped arguing with Hao Jian.
"Can I go?" Hao Jian looked into the distance and found that the zombie was struggling to get here. However, it was stopped at a very steep slope, and it was unable to make large climbing movements, and it was taking small steps and trying to cross the slope again and again.
Taking this feature of zombies down, Hao Jian stretched out his hand to help Lian Runing up. Lian Runing's legs were already weak and weak, but thanks to Hao Jian's help, she didn't fall down again.
When she stood up, her eyes inevitably met the zombie, her heart jumped, and she wanted to run again, but she found herself being supported and unable to move. Hao Jian's calm voice came from his ear: "Don't worry, it won't be able to catch up in a while."
Only then did Lian Runing realize that the zombie was indeed fighting the slope after walking for a few minutes, just as Hao Jian said.
After staring at the zombie for a while, Lian Ru Ning said absentmindedly, "In order to prevent it from catching up, let's go!"
Hao Jian naturally wouldn't object. She picked up the only stick that could make her a weapon, and walked in the other direction with Lian Runing. There is that zombie in the southwest, and it is impossible for her to go down the mountain from there.
Hao Jian suddenly remembered that the zombie also seemed to be wearing these kind of sweatpants, and couldn't help but guess: "Do you know that zombie?"
"Is that a zombie?" Lian Runing asked rhetorically.
After a while, Lian Runing replied, "That's my classmate."
Lian Runing is a student of the Department of Geology at the School of Earth Science and Geological Engineering of Nanfangcheng University. She should have participated in the summer camp organized by the professor of the Department of Geology to study the geology of various places.
During the fifteen-day summer camp, a total of six students were assigned to Fangxie Mountain here. And this place is located in the middle of rolling hills, and it takes an hour to drive to find a village.
In addition to being sparsely populated, the signal is also extremely poor. Fortunately, the purpose of her visit is to study, and she will not be uncomfortable without the Internet.
During the day, she and her classmates followed the professor to rock climbing, surveying the rugged rocks, and collecting data. In the evening, she returned to the camp to sort out the information, and by the way, completed the homework assigned by the professor.
Four days ago, she received a call from home. Originally, I had agreed with my family to make a phone call every three days to report safety, but this call came a little early. But because of the poor signal, she couldn't hear what was being said over there. It was like this several times in a row, and she was inevitably a little uneasy.
She planned to go to the village to call her parents, but the professor said, "It will be over in two days. The gas in this car is just enough to drive to the nearest gas station. Just bear with it!"
But no one could have imagined that when they finished the survey and set out on their way back, the car broke down near here. Seeing that it was getting dark, all the people had to go to the village to stay overnight, and find someone to repair the car by the way.
She found a signal in the village to call her family, but found that she couldn't make a call at all, and she used chat tools to send messages and no one responded. The only thing she could receive was the historical news that several good friends had warned her not to go back to South City three days ago.
She had no idea what was going on, and the people around her lost news one after another, making her gradually fall into an uneasy situation. The next day, when the professor came back and said that the car had not been repaired, she was even more anxious, but if the car was not repaired, they would not be able to leave here.
At night, she was awakened by the barking of the dogs in the village, which made her panic. When she got up to drink water, she saw the professor wandering in the yard alone through the light in front of the door, and a male classmate also walked out and asked, "Professor, why don't you rest so late?"
Suddenly, the professor pounced on the male classmate and bit his neck.
The screams of the male classmate covered her screams, but they also woke up the other classmates, and they all walked out of other rooms: "What happened?"
"Help!" The male classmate hurriedly called for help. The classmates were strong and strong, and they stepped forward, and they were torn apart at once. However, the professor didn't stop because he was torn apart, and the male student's neck was bitten by him until blood spurted out.
She was so frightened that she came back to her senses. She looked at the crazy professors and the suffering classmates outside, and there was a thought in her heart that urged her to leave quickly. So she packed her things, quietly came out of the room, and took advantage of the chaos outside and her classmates had no time to care about her, so she rushed out and quickly blended into the night.
However, her classmates discovered her unusual behavior and chased them out: "Ru Ning, where are you going, it's dangerous at night!"
Lian Runing was quickly caught up by him, but fortunately he didn't pull her, just followed her: "What are you running for?"
"I'm going home!" Lian Ruling muttered.
"Tomorrow, the car will be repaired. By the way, the professor doesn't know what's wrong, and Ziming is also injured. Let's go to the nearby doctor!"
"Professor is not crazy." Lian Runing suddenly thought of a small video that a good friend sent her a few days ago, and the people in it were exactly the same as the professor!
At that time, she thought it was the fake videos that were shared by the parents, so she didn't take it to heart. Until now, she felt that things might not be that simple!
Her classmates didn't listen to what she said. Instead, they saw a small clinic with the lights on, and hurried over to knock on the door. She didn't stop, just walked carefully along the road.
When she saw this classmate again, it was this classmate who had lost his mind and ran towards her like a madman. She knew that she was no match for a big man and could only choose to run away.
