As the fire gradually dwindled down, the burned corpses gave off an even more unpleasant smell. But this also made everyone relieved.
Although it smelt bad, it was good enough to avoid the smell of zombies. Immediately, they went back to summon all the students and teachers and blocked all the tables and benches in the classroom towards the three gates.
Although these things were not useful, in the end they were better than nothing.
Although everyone was afraid, they were even more afraid of zombies coming in. So after knowing that the zombies at the door had been cleared away, they all started to move things over.
There was strength in numbers, and even though they had to be careful not to make too much noise, the things were still moved quickly.
The three main entrances felt like they were piled with debris. Although they knew it was a shoddy project, looking at the piled doorways made them feel a lot safer.
After looking around, Zhang Zhongmin didn’t find the woman from before, so he quickly used the walkie-talkie to contact Dongdaemun.
“That girl seems to live in the Exclusive Restaurant next to Dongdaemun.” Although Liu Guo’an didn’t stop Fu Ke when she went out, he paid attention to her.
“But she just went out.” Liu Guo’an felt strange that that woman seemed very courageous. How dare she go out at night? There are monsters like zombies, but she was not afraid?
Zhang Zhongmin frowned, did she go out this late at night? However, everyone had been hungry for the whole day, and it was too late to worry about Fu Ke now. After everyone divided things in the cafeteria, everyone was sweating from exhaustion, but they couldn’t take a shower yet.
Suddenly they saw someone sitting on the playground, still tied up tightly. Zhang Zhongmin walked over, looked at it, and turned around and asked, “How long has it been?”
Liu Guo’an was still guarding the door of the east gate because zombies suddenly attacked this time but didn’t go there. So, they decided to guard it with a few more people.
The other blocked gates only needed one person to guard them, but the safety index of Dongdaemun was really too low, and they didn’t have the conditions to solve the problem at the gate yet.
Xiao Bin had come back and looked at the time: “It’s been eleven hours.”
They walked over and took a look. The boy seemed to be a little tanned, but there was no sign of turning into a corpse. The nails on his hands were trimmed cleanly, and his long fingers moved slightly.
Slowly opening his eyes, he asked: “Has my fever gone?”
He woke up a while ago, but there was no one on the playground, so he slowly fell asleep again. But he found that his senses seemed to be heightened.
The moment Zhang Zhongmin approached, he woke up.
Zhang Zhongmin raised his hand and put it on his forehead for a moment: “Go find Feng Han and bring a thermometer.” He tested it with his hand and it seemed that the fever had subsided, but now that the matter was so important, he did not dare to make a decision easily.
Lu Xun twitched the corner of his mouth: “I think I should have been infected because of the fever… Instructor, I think the source of infection is still circulating in the air.”
Zhang Zhongmin’s pupils shrank, and he looked at Lu Xun seriously: “What did you say?”
“When I had a fever, I felt it several times. I thought I was about to turn into a zombie… Fortunately, I survived.” He smiled, but his face was still a little pale. The thin bangs in front of his forehead were wet and stuck to his forehead: “I was not injured, and I have not been exposed to tap water. However, the weather gradually started to get colder at night during this period, and I had a cold.”
“I think there should be something in the air which contains a small amount of infection, and it will not have any impact if you are healthy. But if you get sick or injured, it will give you a chance to invade.”
“Of course, this is just my guess.”
The speculation shocked Zhang Zhongmin greatly. If this was really the case… they may have to make long-term plans. Because maybe all parts of the country were gradually being overrun by zombies.
No matter how powerful the country was, this kind of penetrating attack could still catch people off guard. They had to take some measures. Suddenly, Zhang Zhongmin’s vision became sharp.
At this time, Xiao Bin also took a thermometer from Feng Han and measured Lu Xun’s temperature.
The test results were good and the body temperature had returned to normal. After Zhang Zhongmin gave Lu Xun a large bottle of mineral water, he gradually recovered.
Qiu Yingying returned to the dormitory after taking a bag of instant noodles. She carefully plugged in the electric kettle and poured water to boil the instant noodles.
Afraid that the smell would spread, she closed the doors and windows tightly and blocked the gaps under the doors with cotton wool from other beds.
While the water was boiling, she went into the toilet and took a bath with water. She was able to release more and more water now, and although the water was cold, it was better than nothing.
She shivered after taking a cold bath. After coming out, she quickly soaked the noodles, then wrapped herself in a quilt and poured herself a cup of hot water.
After eating a warm bowl of instant noodles, she felt like crying.
How long had it been since she had had something hot? Since the water source was discovered to be infected, the canteen was no longer open. After all, cooking meant using mineral water. However, the water source was infected, and everyone could only drink mineral water, drinks, etc.
Water was becoming more and more precious, so naturally they could no longer cook. Now everyone ate what they plundered from the canteen. It was okay if you got a pack of instant noodles, but it would be terrible if you got ham sausages or potato chips.
Basically, no one had enough to eat now.
After carefully eating the instant noodles, she even drank the soup inside. After that, she washed her lunch box with water, sprinkled water in the dormitory, and then got into bed to sleep.
Lu Xun was an art student, already in his junior year. He lived in a double dormitory, which was expensive and not easy to get. But he was lucky enough to get it.
When he went back, his roommate was startled, and then said in surprise: “Lu Xun, are you okay?”
Lu Xun nodded lightly.
His roommate was also an art student. Seeing that he was okay, he seemed very excited: “That’s great. Do you know, I was almost scared to death when I saw something happen to you… What on earth did you think happened? Why? Is it really the end of the world? Where did these zombies come from? How did the virus appear?” the roommate said excitedly.
“Keep your voice down, do you want to attract zombies?” Lu Xun glanced at him lightly, and his roommate shut up instantly.
Lu Xun got up early the next morning. When he got up, his roommate was still sleeping soundly.
He opened the door and walked out. Nobody had gotten up yet, and the school was eerily quiet. As if he had entered an uninhabited land, Lu Xun was now full of strength. He stepped out with his long legs and quickly walked to the east gate.
“Classmate, where are you going?” The security team members had just changed shifts with Liu Guo’an, and Liu Guo’an was lying on the side sleeping. As a result, the security team members looked up and saw Lu Xun.
Fu Ke was an outsider before, so they didn’t care, but Lu Xun was obviously a student in the school, so he couldn’t ignore it.
“Need to go out, something happened.” Lu Xun said.
“No, it’s too dangerous outside now. You can’t go out now. Even if you want to go out, you have to wait until after training before you can go out under the arrangement of the squad leader.” The person from the security team said seriously, with a very serious tone.
Lu Xun thought of what the woman said before, and he pursed his lips tightly: “I have something very important.”
“What else is more important than life now?” The people in the security team thought Lu Xun was crazy. Now everyone wanted to hide in a turtle shell, but he wanted to get out!
“Please open the door, I want to go out.” Lu Xun said while looking at the security team.
“Hey, you kid, why are you so disobedient? Do you know that there are zombies outside now? What will you do if you encounter zombies when you go out?” The security team refused to open the door, and the two people argued quietly. But it woke up Liu Guo’an.
“What’s wrong?” Liu Guo’an opened his eyes. His eyes were clear, not like someone who had just been woken up.
“Oh, instructor, are you awake? This classmate says that he wants to go out. It’s so dangerous outside. How dare I let him go out, but he doesn’t listen no matter what I say.” When the people from the security team saw that Liu Guo’an had woken up, they immediately complained in a flurry of words.
Liu Guo’an got up and straightened his wrinkled clothes, then walked over to look at Lu Xun.
He recognized him at a glance as the one who passed out yesterday, but Zhang Zhongmin also told them yesterday that he was well. So, he suddenly asked hesitantly: “What do you want to do when you go out? It’s not safe outside now. It’s not that we won’t let you go out, but we will train you. After you are trained, you can go out naturally.”
However, she said to go find her when he woke up. Lu Xun’s eyes flashed slightly.
He put his hand on the sliding door and it fell open.
“…”
“…”
Liu Guo’an and the security team had no idea that this gentle-looking male classmate would show up like this, and even Lu Xun himself didn’t expect that he would be so relaxed while doing something like this.
He just felt that he was full of energy, so he gave it a try, and it really succeeded. Looking around, he saw the conspicuous sign, Exclusive Restaurant.
He just went that way.
“Notify the squad leader immediately.” Liu Guo’an said, held the door open and went out, chasing after him.
As a result, he saw Lu Xun walk a few steps and stop at the entrance of the Exclusive Restaurant. He immediately thought of the woman from yesterday. At this moment, a little head poked out of the window upstairs.
She smiled sweetly and stretched out her hand: “Hey~ Did you make it?”
Lu Xun’s lips curled up: “Yes, I made it.”
“…” Liu Guo’an, who had just walked behind Lu Xun, felt like he had become a light bulb? He squinted his eyes and looked at the woman upstairs with sweet pear dimples exposed on both sides of her mouth.
“Wait a minute, I’ll open the door.” After saying that, Fu Ke retracted.
Lu Xun looked back at Liu Guo’an, but didn’t say anything. He turned back to look at the rolling shutter door. After a while, the rolling shutter door was opened.
The facade was large and the decoration inside was exquisite. Fu Ke waved: “Come in and sit down.”
Liu Guo’an looked at the girl in front of him suspiciously. She opened the rolling shutter door too loudly. Such that he couldn’t help but say: “Aren’t you afraid of attracting zombies like this?”
Fu Ke was stunned for a moment, then she tilted her head and thought for a while: “I forgot, but there is a tempered glass sliding door inside the rolling shutter door. I won’t close the rolling shutter door in the future. Okay.”
“Are you here alone?” Liu Guo’an looked around. It was clean but not popular at all.
“Yes.” Fu Ke blinked and brought two bottles of mineral water over: “I don’t have anything to entertain you. Let’s drink some mineral water.” Not to mention, Liu Guo’an, who had been guarding all night, hadn’t eaten anything. There was even no water to drink. He was of course thirsty now. So without being polite to her, he just unscrewed the lid and drank most of it.
Lu Xun looked at Liu Guo’an again. This look made Liu Guo’an feel embarrassed.
He scratched his head nervously: “It’s not safe for you to be here alone. Why don’t you go to the school dormitory to live in? It’s safer.”
It was not safe to go in the school. Fu Ke looked at him with a smile.
“No, it’s safe for me to stay here. Zombies can’t beat me.” Fu Ke said naturally, which reminded Liu Guo’an of the scene he saw yesterday when she came in. She didn’t speak loudly, but her voice was transmitted clearly to each of them.
“Thank you for yesterday.” Lu Xun looked at Fu Ke. If she hadn’t spoken in his ear yesterday, he would have given up long ago. His corpse may even have been killed by now.
He naturally wanted to live if he could live without turning into a zombie. Thinking of yesterday’s crisis moment, Lu Xun’s eyes turned slightly red.
Fu Ke waved her hand: “Let me see what kind of power you have?”
“Power?” Lu Xun was stunned for a moment.
Liu Guo’an’s eyes widened: “What? Superpower, is there really such a ghostly thing?”
Although zombies appeared, he had never thought that there would really even be superpowers, and he was suddenly a little scared.
