The zombie that crawled across the table did not choose Zhou Yili, but went straight to Qiao Siqi. The latter trembled when he was stared at by the zombies, and almost reflexively pulled out his longest and most reliable partner-the Swiss army knife-the volley was a flurry of dances.
The zombie didn't seem to have expected the prey to suddenly go mad. It didn't know which nerve was left in the body or the instinct of the creature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but it hesitated for half a second in its attack.
Just half a second!
- Clang.
Student Qiao successfully threw the Swiss Army Knife to the ground.
The zombies have fully figured out the depth of the prey, and a fierce tiger pounces on it!
Without a weapon, Qiao Siqi panicked and jumped to the corner of the wall. Seeing that there was no way out, he finally broke out in desperation. He suddenly bent down and grabbed the dead fortune tree trunk in the flower pot, and pulled it out with all his might!
That fortune tree grew tall and mighty, its trunk was as thick as a grown man's arm, Qiao Siqi exhausted all his strength, but he couldn't pull it out!
As the zombie approached the corner, Qiao Siqi was so anxious that he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Huha—"
With a loud shout, Johns finally straightened his waist, and the money tree rose up in response, and its roots swung towards the zombies!
Boom!
With a heavy and dull impact, this blow hit the zombie's head!
Crash!
The flower pot shattered into pieces of porcelain at the moment of collision.
—In ancient times, there was Lu Zhishen pulling out weeping willows upside down, and today there is Qiao Siqi swinging trees with flowerpots.
"Teacher Wang" fell to the ground with a plop, and did not move. Dark red blood flowed out from his ruptured head, staining the marble floor red.
Zhou Yilu has been trying to attack from behind to help his comrades throughout the whole process, but he has not found the opportunity for a long time, and his comrades have already done it single-handedly. Just as he was about to admire, he found that his comrade-in-arms still seemed to have not withdrawn from the fighting state, and kept slamming the money tree at the back of the zombie lying on the ground frantically.
Without the flower pot, only the clods of condensed soil remained at the root of the rich tree. After this smashing, the clods of soil cracked, and it was really flying sand and rocks. Just as Zhou Lv wanted to stop him, he ate a mouthful of dirt, finally spat it out, lost his eyes again, and was in despair.
Finally, Qiao Siqi was overwhelmed and regained some sanity, only then did he see his comrade squatting next to the water dispenser to wash his eyes. Looking down at his "weapon" again, he understood everything, and immediately felt guilty: "Hey, are you okay..."
Zhou Lv wiped his face for the last time, turned around, with gentleness and tolerance: "It's okay."
Qiao Siqi looked at his comrade-in-arms whose eyes were red like rabbits, and his face twitched in embarrassment: "It doesn't look like it."
Zhou Lv smiled, and his tone became softer: "Then come here and let me stab you."
"..." Qiao Siqi took half a step back, "Uh, what did you just say?"
Zhou Yilu gave him a blank look: "I said you come here and let me stab you."
Qiao Siqi shook his head: "No, before that."
Zhou Lv frowned, recalling for a while: "Is everything okay?"
Qiao Siqi nodded vigorously: "I decided to believe you."
Zhou Lu: "..."
[Click.]
Zhou Lu: "What's the sound?"
Joskey: "Huh? No."
Zhou Lu: "Oh, forget it."
Qiao Siqi: "What, I was taken aback."
Zhou Lu: "You don't understand even if you tell me."
—From the moment this guy risked his life to come to Lubanlou to accompany him, the gears of their fate began to spin. It's just that the bite doesn't seem to be very good.
[Click.]
[Crunch.]
[Click thump.]
No, there's no fucking bite at all!
Qiao Siqi collapsed and sat on the ground, finally throwing away the money tree. Zhou Yilu hesitated again and again, but he still made up his mind and made another stab at the head of the corpse. However, after all, it was the teacher he was familiar with on weekdays. Zhou Yili missed his first strike, and only made up for the second strike.
Afterwards, Zhou Lv pulled the zombie under the dean's desk and blocked it with a chair. He found a temporary resting place for the corpse, and saved him and Qiao Siqi from facing bloody and tragic situations all the time.
While pulling the corpse, Zhou Lv accidentally found the bite mark on the zombie's wrist, and realized that it was probably because Mr. Wang fled here during the fight with the zombie, but he didn't want to be infected, and eventually the virus broke out and was trapped here.
The corpses were all settled in this room, and Qiao Siqi in that room finally returned to his senses. He got up and went to the light switch, trying to press it back and forth a few times.
Sure enough, there was no call.
Zhou Lu raised his head when he heard the voice, and was speechless when he saw the situation: "What time is it, do you still expect someone to rush to repair the circuit?"
Qiao Siqi pursed his lips, but he was still not completely reconciled: "Then if the power outage is caused by the surviving classmates like us, for example, for the convenience of the battle, and then push the switch up after the fight!"
"..."
"It's not impossible."
"Then let us pray that this more than two-hour battle ends as soon as possible and ends with the victory of the surviving classmates."
Too lazy to have a boring conversation with Qiao Siqi, Zhou Yili got up and opened the office window, probed out to check the surroundings and the environment below, and after a while, suddenly shouted: "Song Fei—"
Zhou Lv tried his best to shout this, even the starry sky seemed to vibrate.
After a long, long time, the last trace of the last sound completely dissipated in the distant sky, the shattered night returned to silence, and the campus was still the same campus.
"No news." Qiao Siqi leaned weakly against the wall, summarizing the situation.
What they hope most now is to get in touch with their comrades in arms and follow up the latest news of the radio battle in time, but obviously, the attempt failed.
Zhou Lv still looked out of the window, as if expecting a miracle to happen, his lonely back was so lonely.
Qiao Siqi sighed, feeling sorry for his comrades and himself, but also a little annoyed: "Actually, we shouldn't run here. What if they have found the radio? We should run down, or simply go back to the cafeteria."
Zhou Yilu turned around with a serious expression: "We can't go back to the cafeteria."
Qiao Siqi was stunned, puzzled.
Zhou Lv continued: "The reason why we chose this office, apart from safety, is that it faces the only way to return to the cafeteria. If they find the radio, we will definitely go back to it when we return." If they find out, they will go downstairs to meet them and play the role of escort. If they are not found, or if they are in distress, they will definitely find a way to send out a signal. Taking a step back, even if there is no signal, and they have not been found to return after two nights, then There must be something wrong, and the two of us must go to Gewulou for support. No matter what the situation is, we are required to stand by here."
"What you're saying is based on the fact that they haven't found the radio as of yet."
Qiao Siqi doesn't like to use his brain, but it doesn't mean his brain reacts slowly. On the contrary, he is very clever when he really wants to use it, so when Zhou Yi said it, he understood the reason and found the loophole at the same time.
Looking at the time on the phone, he said straight to the point: "It's been almost three hours since we parted ways. How do you know they didn't succeed in these three hours? Maybe they managed to get the radio and went home happily .”
"I'll stress it again for all my comrades-in-arms. Unless you are abc, the way of speaking in Chinese with English is really awkward. In addition," Zhou Lv raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Siqi, "if you are Song Fei, do you think we went straight back to the cafeteria after we lured the enemy?"
Classmate Qiao held aggrieved reservations about the first half of the accusation, and Xiao Qiao felt bitter, but Xiao Qiao didn't say it for the time being, because obviously the second half of the question was more important.
Quiet, for a long time.
Josh thought very seriously.
Zhou Yili saw it, so patiently gave him time to ponder.
Finally, Qiao Siqi broke the silence and said slowly: "If I were Song Fei, I would think that those two idiots must still be poking their heads in a certain window of the Luban Building and waiting to meet up." At the end, he even showed his true feelings Rolling his eyes, he seemed to have seen Song Fei's hateful face.
Zhou Lu couldn't help laughing, and continued to ask: "What if you find that there is no window in any window when you return?"
"Then I'll call downstairs." Qiao Siqi had already brought in Song Fei's cosplay, and blurted out without thinking.
Zhou Lv shrugged his shoulders in satisfaction, without saying anything.
—Luring the enemy up to now, they have not received any rendezvous message from their comrades-in-arms, no matter singing, shouting or other methods, and they are sure that their comrades-in-arms will definitely send such a message when they return, then the conclusion can only be, revolution It has not been successful yet, and comrades in arms are still working hard.
Fighting side by side until now, Qiao Siqi, like Zhou Yili, believes that there is an unbreakable tacit understanding and trust between them, but there is a contingency: "If they have shouted at a certain point in the past, And we happen to be in a place where we can't hear these calls, such as the pantry, or the battle is fierce, so we neither show up nor respond?"
Zhou Yilu said without hesitation, "Then I'll rush in to find someone."
Qiao Siqi sighed: "You will, but Song Fei may not."
Zhou Lv frowned: "You don't have confidence in him?"
Qiao Siqi: "I'm afraid he doesn't have confidence in your college building."
Zhou Li black line: "..."
At this point in the discussion, the two have actually reached a consensus. It's just a little fun to pass the time.
"It seems that it's not just the Luban Building that's out of power." Zhou Lv looked out the window again and found something wrong, "The street lights are also off, and the Yixin Building and Gewu Building are all dark."
"Are you sure?"
Qiao Siqi leaned over worriedly, and squeezed together with Zhou Yiyi to look out.
Luban Building, Yixin Building and Gewu Building are basically a straight line from west to east. The windows where they are located are facing the road in the south, so they can only lean out and look east.
There is still a certain distance between the three buildings, so they can only take a rough look.
"I hope the situation is not so bad." Zhou Yi said quietly against the cold wind.
"If there is a real power outage, why would they rush to the twelfth floor?" Just thinking about that scene made Qiao Siqi's scalp tingle.
Zhou Lv was not too worried: "We also broke into the tenth floor in the dark."
The tragic Luban trip that was finally forgotten made a comeback, and Qiao Siqi raised his forehead in despair: "Then bless them with a cardboard box that can accommodate six people."
Zhou Yili had endured Qiao Siqi's behavior of not wanting to blackmail his college building all the time, but just as he was about to have an attack, Night Breeze suddenly sent sporadic notes into his ears.
Zhou Yi was stunned, no longer caring about everything, he pricked up his ears to catch—
"Companionship in the world of mortals... Chic... Riding a horse... Prosperity in the world..."
"To wine... joy... vigorous... youth..."
Qiao Siqi prepared himself for being bullied for a long time, but the other party suddenly became quiet and didn't say a word, which made him want to beg for bullying: "Hey..."
"Shh." Zhou Lv made a silent gesture.
Seeing his serious expression, Qiao Siqi rarely became obedient.
It's a pity that Qiao's patience is only two minutes.
"What the hell did you hear?"
"It looks like someone is singing."
"What song is it?"
"Uh... Fuck, it's right on my lips, why can't I remember it!"
"What's the content?"
"It's just the classic TV series. It's broadcast every summer. It's an ancient one. Several men have gone through untold hardships..."
"Oh, Journey to the West!"
"... help the two girls recognize the emperor as their father."
The plot turns too fast, like a tornado.
Qiao Siqi was already powerless to complain: "Can you just talk about Huang Ama!"
"Ah yes, Huanzhugege!"
"Congratulations." Qiao Siqi felt that he and Zhou Lv would be alone for a few more days, and they would hate each other to death without zombies.
Zhou Yilu suddenly understood, and then realized that he was led into a ditch by Qiao Siqi: "The point is not what song is sung, but someone is singing it!"
Qiao Siqi swore that he really couldn't hear anything except the wind, and he didn't know if it was because he hurt his hearing by wearing headphones and watching movies on weekdays. But at this time, Zhou will not joke: "Can you tell who it is and where it is?"
"It sounds like the voice from Gewulou." Zhou Lv frowned deeply, wishing he could fly out one ear to broadcast live. "Anyway, it doesn't sound like Song Fei."
"It doesn't matter who it is," Qiao Siqi decided, "Anyway, it must be our people who sing this kind of song."
Zhou Lv looked gratified: "Of course."
It was as if the singing from the sky made the two of them completely at ease. The little friends were still fighting, and they didn't miss it. The next thing to do is to watch at the window in turn to ensure that when the friends return, they can catch them at the first time and set off to meet up.
Taking turns to monitor is easy to say, but it is quite boring to do. Especially at night, when the wind is still strong, blowing for half an hour is a bit overwhelming. The two of them couldn't wear gas masks all the time, they didn't even have enough heat to keep warm, and they had to cover up too much. So when the wind blows, my face is cold and my head is cold.
Fortunately, Zhao He, who has always been in the style of literature and art, brought a cashmere scarf scavenged from the courier point on this trip, so he faced out the window, buttoned his coat and hat, and tied the scarf, which was barely able to resist.
The two of them rotated for an hour, and when it was Qiao Siqi's turn, he asked Zhou for a scarf, but instead of wrapping around his neck and face, he wrapped it around his head. amorous feelings.
Even so, this person still yelled cold every once in a while, at first Zhou Yiyi was still worried, but later he found that the more he yelled, the more energetic he became, and he became numb.
Endless nights, boring surveillance, both of them were so sleepy that they couldn't sleep. It's like driving at night. The co-pilot must be in good spirits and have to chat with the driver from time to time. If the co-pilot yawns or even sleeps like a pig, then the driver will not be far from meeting Duke Zhou.
Fatigue is contagious.
The two classmates, Zhou Qiao, had nothing to say to pass the long night.
Zhou Zhoulu: "By the way, why did you assume 'you are Song Fei' when you inferred whether the comrades in arms would send a signal to us when we returned? It stands to reason that the one with the highest comprehensive combat effectiveness should be Qi Yan, and his brain is also weak." Ling, skill is also good, if you want to lead the team, it is Qi Yan who leads the team."
Qiao Siqi: "It's okay for Qi Yan to lead the team, but Song Fei leads Qi Yan."
Zhou Yilu: "Oh, the one who falls in love first or loves more deeply will always be a disadvantaged group."
Qiao Siqi: "Student, please tell your story."
Zhou Lu: "..."
— Conversation pawn.
Qiao Siqi: "By the way, in the current power outage, will our combination lock be invalid?"
Zhou Lu: "If it fails, what we just opened is a fake lock?"
Joskey: "Battery?"
Zhou Yilu: "It's finally smart. That thing saves a lot of power, and it won't be a problem if you stick to it for a few months."
Qiao Siqi: "Then if a zombie pulls out the battery, will the combination lock become invalid?!"
Zhou Lu: "First of all, pulling out the battery will only keep the door locked. Secondly, if we meet such a thoughtful zombie, I think we can open the door and talk about our lives with each other."
Joskey: "..."
— Let’s talk again.
Zhou Lu: "By the way, do you want to consider changing your shoes?"
Qiao Siqi: "My shoes don't look good? Jordan limited edition!"
Zhou Lu: "There's nothing wrong with the style, but are you sure it's not a pair of figure skates?"
Joskey: "..."
—The conversation died again.
Qiao Siqi: "By the way, what style does your design belong to?"
Zhou Lu: "What design?"
Qiao Siqi: "You just crushed that one earlier, you said it was model work?"
Zhou Yilu: "Ah, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that it was my painstaking work. Teacher Nima hasn't rated it yet!!!"
Qiao Siqi: "Uh, I don't think your teacher should care about this now, really."
Zhou Zhoulu: "The same is true for the CET-4 exam. If I can hand in the papers smoothly, I will pass this time, for sure!"
Qiao Siqi: "Uh, I think the marking teacher probably won't be able to spare the time now, really."
Zhou Lu: "Why is the road to school so difficult?"
Qiao Siqi: "Should I find the reason from myself, for example, are you a little too motivated?"
Zhou Lu: "..."
—The last conversation died.
For the sake of world peace, the two of them spent the entire second half of the night looking at each other in silence. It was really boring. You just glanced at me and I glanced at you for comfort.
In this way, persist until dawn.
Zhou Lv didn't know if he was too tired, or if the comrades in Gewulou had entered a new stage of the battle, anyway, he couldn't hear the singing anymore. As far as the eye can see, there is only bright sunlight.
The day is much better than the night. Once the temperature rises, even if the windows are open and the sun shines on the body, it is very comfortable. Secondly, comrades-in-arms are less likely to return during the day, and their nerves don't have to be so tense, and they can finally catch up on sleep with peace of mind. Moreover, Zhou Lv also pulled up the curtains and hung them outside. On the unfolded curtains, the five letters of JOHNS were cut out with a knife. In case the comrades in arms suddenly want to return home in the daytime, as long as they have them in mind, they will definitely be seen when they look up. See, works better than SOS.
A calm day.
Nothing happened, good or bad, nobody showed up, comrades or schoolmates.
The two of them didn't know whether there were no survivors in this department building, or the survivors were still quietly guarding their unknown strongholds, refusing to show their heads. In short, the two of them watched the whole day, and there was only one feeling - dead silence.
If spring, summer and autumn are good, at least there are flowers and trees, but now, even the plants are dead.
Qiao Siqi said that a few pine trees should be moved over from the teaching building in the south, so as to give them some vitality. Everyone agrees on Monday, and when this matter is over, you can post an appeal on the school forum. Qiao Siqi hesitated for a moment, and asked, after this matter is over, can we continue to go to school? Zhou Zhou thought about it, and said, it must be possible, the degree certificate has not yet been obtained.
Qiao Siqi was overwhelmed by his comrade-in-arms' obsession with learning, and after a while, he gained some kind of strange peace of mind from this obsession.
The dean's office has a separate bathroom and a reception sofa. This is the happiest thing since the two of them entered the Luban Building. There is plenty of food in the backpack, which makes this happiness even more radiant. But after all, people are not made of iron. They can be infinitely strong mentally, but not physically. After staying up until the second night, Zhou Yi was just okay, but Qiao Siqi couldn't take it anymore.
This was discovered on Monday.
Qiao Siqi visibly wobbled when he changed shifts, his face turned pale, although he didn't say anything, his body was very honest. Zhou Yilu couldn't help saying that he pulled him over and touched his forehead. Fortunately, it wasn't too hot.
Qiao Siqi simply admitted: "It's nothing serious, but I'm a little dizzy, probably from the wind."
Zhou Li’s first reaction was that your old man has become an Indian brother and can still blow his head? Seeing how sick Johns was, he swallowed the spit that came to his mouth. After all, if you open the window and look out for a day and a night, let alone blowing, you will be full of wind just by eating. It is understandable for some students who are almost physically weak to catch a cold.
"Okay, stop watching, go back to the sofa to rest. Oh yes, turn the sofa around, don't face the wind, and back it."
"That won't work, how can I let you survive the night alone!"
"Did I tell you to rest for a night? If you can't hold on, you will definitely wake up. Don't worry."
"..."
With a complicated warmth and the urge to complain, Qiao returned to the reception sofa, but in the end he didn't move the sofa, and he could still see the direction of Zhou Yili as soon as he opened his eyes, and lay down and curled up.
Looking at Zhou Lv again, I always feel that the back of his comrade-in-arms is inexplicably taller.
Qiao Siqi's eyelids gradually became heavy, but he didn't want to sleep, and he always felt that he couldn't help stand guard, and it was good to talk to his comrades: "Monday."
"Yeah." The comrade-in-arms didn't look back, but the tone of voice clearly meant "tell me and I'll listen".
"You said that in the entire Luban building, will there be only two of us alive?"
"I don't know. Why did you say this suddenly?"
"No, I just think this kind of feel is very similar to "I Am Legend"."
"Movie?"
"Well, played by Will Smith. It is said that the whole city was infected and mutated, and only he and a German shepherd were left. He fought against loneliness while fighting to save the last hope for mankind. It feels very similar to now. , I even think I am Will Smith!"
"Then my role is out of the question?"
"..."
"Joseki?"
"Good night!"
In view of the fact that the communication with Zhou Lu, no matter whether it is good intentions or intentional, will always be a pitfall, Qiao Siqi decided to choose another more secure way of getting along—sleeping.
It's just that he didn't expect that this sleep would last until dawn.
To be precise, it was just a touch of whiteness and light appeared on the horizon.
With sleepy eyes, Qiao Siqi saw Zhou Lv's back standing in front of the window, like a green pine on the top of a mountain, resolute and upright.
The phone was out of battery, but looking at the sky and feeling his own mental head again, Qiao Siqi knew that it was about time, and felt extremely guilty for a moment, so he straightened himself up and sat up. As a result, he got up too violently, and his head buzzed again. He didn't care about slowing down. He got up and ran to Zhou Lv's side without asking for advice, and directly pulled him back: "Change shift!"
Zhou Yilu was also blown into confusion that night. Seeing that Qiao Siqi was in good condition, he followed suit and stopped being polite to him. Cultivate Qi and nourish your health.
"What's going on at night?" Qiao Siqi hurriedly asked while his comrades were still asleep.
"No." Zhou Lv was too tired to open his eyes, but his mind was still spinning, "If there is no movement during the day, we will go to Gewulou at night."
"Okay." Qiao Siqi replied cleanly.
thump thump—
The sound of thunder and drums suddenly shattered the tranquility of the early morning.
Josic was stunned.
Zhou opened his eyes abruptly.
Boom boom boom boom—
Josic opened his mouth wide.
Zhou Lv has come to the window.
The tempest of drums came suddenly and went without warning.
After a brief silence, the flute whimpered.
Qiao Siqi and Zhou Lv looked at each other, their expressions were indescribable—
"Little Apple?"
"should be."
"Our comrades in arms?"
"Absolutely."
