“Sergeant, why are you here?” Xiao Bin asked why he couldn’t find him anywhere but he ended up sitting next to the truck.
“It’s okay, I just wanted to sit here for a while. Why are you here so late at night?” It was not yet evening, but it was already dark and there was no electricity. The only light outside was the bright moon.
But the moon’s light was much dimmer than before Doomsday, so it had little effect.
Xiao Bin rubbed his hands and began to feel cold in his heart. How could the squad leader still sit next to the truck? But he came here to talk about serious business.
“There were a lot of people here before, and I didn’t tell you something.” Xiao Bin said seriously: “Lin Zhibin from the third squad of the third shift was scratched by a zombie today, but no one noticed it.”
“I discovered it by accident after I came back. He had a fever, and the injury was inconspicuous, and he didn’t say he was injured. I think we should pay attention to this matter.”
It’s nothing to discover it this time, but what about next time? Such an important matter, which could be both big or small, must not be taken lightly.
Zhang Zhongmin’s face turned serious when he heard this: “Where is the person?”
“He was tied up in an empty classroom. I went to see him when I sent Weiwei back to the dormitory. He was still running a fever and his mind was confused. I didn’t know if he can hold on.” Xiao Bin sighed.
But no matter whether he could hold on or not, he no longer had any good feelings towards Lin Zhibin.
Being scratched by a zombie, as long as he hadn’t turned into a zombie yet. No one would ignore him, but he chose to hide it. He knew clearly that if he was scratched by a zombie, there was a high chance that he would become a zombie.
Whereas the chance of becoming a mutant was very small.
“We won’t go out to collect supplies tomorrow. Let’s organize everyone to gather in the grove tomorrow. I think we must have a response plan for this matter.” After a pause, Zhang Zhongmin thought of Qiu Yinlan and felt even more uncomfortable.
“And there is also the protection of women in school.” Zhang Zhongmin said seriously: “Even if it is the end of the world now, I don’t care what other places have become, but at least here, I will not allow anyone to lose their humanity and disregard the law!”
After thinking about it, Zhang Zhongmin stood up: “Xiao Bin, you go and notify the class leaders, we will go to the school conference room for a meeting.”
“Yes.” Xiao Bin did not expect that because of what he said, Zhang Zhongmin convened an emergency meeting. Even thinking of Du Weiwei who was still waiting for him in the dormitory, he didn’t have time to go and inform her.
Zhang Zhongmin strode out of the school and went to look for Lu Xun who was at Fu Ke’s place.
Lu Xun was also one of the class leaders, so naturally he had to attend this meeting. To put it bluntly, this meeting was really important. The base was now gradually taking shape, but there were still many loopholes.
The number of students in schools had increased dramatically and if these problems were not dealt with now, they would become more serious in the future. Then when the time came to deal with it, they may not be able to do it.
Lu Xun was talking to Fu Ke, who looked at the man standing at the door and smiled: “Team Leader Zhang.”
There was a glowing battery-powered desk lamp on the table. Fu Ke had collected some in the supermarket before, but she didn’t remember it at the moment. Plus, she could see clearly at night even without a light.
Zhang Zhongmin looked at the desk lamp: “Lu Xun told you everything?”
Fu Ke saw Zhang Zhongmin coming over and said with a smile: “I know it’s not easy for you to get the generator here. You can help me install the generator tomorrow. I will promise to cook a meal for everyone in the school. How about that?”
She thought Zhang Zhongmin didn’t explain clearly before, so he came there in person.
Fu Ke understood that she could find a generator by wandering around in no time and could bring it back easily. But even if her mental strength was strong, she still didn’t know how to install a generator.
They went through great pains to get the generator back and would even be helping her install it. Although the number of people in the school had increased, if she could use an electric rice cooker at that time, it would be actually more convenient.
However, Zhang Zhongmin inexplicably blocked it.
But he still agreed: “Okay, let’s do it at the end of this month.”
Occasionally give everyone a delicious meal so that they can eat their fill, but it can’t be like this all the time. Last time it was a thousand crystal cores, this time it was a generator. No one knows if there will be a next time.
They couldn’t let them develop a habit.
“Okay, no problem.” However, Fu Ke saw that Zhang Zhongmin’s eyes fell on the battery-powered desk lamp. Although energy-saving light bulbs used batteries, they were still quite bright.
Seeing him staring intently, Fu Ke’s eyes suddenly lit up. This thing was useless to her, but very useful to humans: “Team Leader Zhang, do you like this desk lamp? I have a lot of them here.”
Under the bright white light, Zhang Zhongmin clearly saw the flash of light in her eyes.
Just now he felt upset, but now Zhang Zhongmin found it a little funny: “If I want a lamp, how many crystal cores do you think it will take?”
Although during the meeting, it would be enough to just listen to the sound. But he thought it was better to have lights so that he could see clearly who was sitting where and the expressions on everyone’s faces.
“Not much, just five crystal cores.” Fu Ke stretched out her hand with a smile.
Five pieces… Zhang Zhongmin looked at her: “Didn’t you say before that a piece of cake is only worth one crystal core? In today’s world, food is much more important than this lamp.”
“I also said that the price is only temporary, everything depends on my mood.” Fu Ke said nonchalantly.
She had set the price so low now entirely for the sake of these humans. But when the second-level and third-level zombies appeared in the future, things would naturally be different.
The corner of Zhang Zhongmin’s mouth twitched slightly, but he still nodded and agreed: “I’ll give it to you when I deliver the generator tomorrow. Can I take the desk lamp now?”
Fu Ke directly handed him the desk lamp on the table: “Consider the batteries as a gift.”
“…” Zhang Zhongmin.
Watching them interacting with each other, Lu Xun always felt that something was wrong. After looking at Zhang Zhongmin, he was called away by Zhang Zhongmin.
After Zhang Zhongmin and Lu Xun left, Fu Ke closed the door.
She first went to look inside the space. There was a lot of food in the space, but it seemed that the food collected from the supermarket would not be used during this period of time. After all, Zhang Zhongmin and others had collected a lot of food outside.
The soil after Doomsday had also deteriorated, and the crops grown therein could not be eaten. But in the previous life, Brother Long and his friends found plants that could adapt to the soil of the apocalypse. After experimentation, they were found to be non-toxic and could be used by humans.
It was just that the food grown from that plant tasted bad, and later it was made into nutrient solution, which was also said to be unpalatable.
Fu Ke vaguely remembered what the plant looked like, but she didn’t know where Brother Long and the others found it. Fu Ke took off her contact lenses and looked at her pair of bloodshot eyes in the mirror in confusion.
Why was this?
When she was just reborn, she was almost no different from a human being. Basically, no one except herself could know that she was a zombie. But after becoming an eleventh-level zombie, her eyes turned red again.
She couldn’t help but touch the corner of her eyes. Could it be that as she continued to evolve, all the characteristics of a zombie would appear one by one?
After leaving the space, Fu Ke disappeared through the window like a shadow, and she returned to the villa she had bought before in a very short time.
Just as she reached the door of the villa, Fu Ke stopped.
There was someone inside!
Conference room of D City University.
Sixteen class leaders and Li Yun, who was now the director of the school logistics department, which was responsible for counting the number of students in the school and measuring body temperatures every day. These tasks were done by the elderly people led by Li Yun.
The school’s conference table was a very long one, with space for a total of ten people on both sides and the two ends. It was obvious that there was not enough space for seventeen people, so everyone moved stools and sat together.
In fact, although there were not many seats, it was not crowded with seventeen people sitting here.
“I asked everyone to come here today because I have a very urgent matter to discuss with you.” Zhang Zhongmin sat in the first seat, put his hands clasped on the table and glanced at everyone present.
Although the bright white light in the middle of the conference table did not allow him to see everyone clearly, it was not too blurry either.
“Liu Guo’an reported to me before that someone had committed r*pe in school!” Zhang Zhongmin said, looking up at everyone’s expressions.
Except for Li Yun and Liu Guo’an who knew the situation, everyone else was shocked.
Even Xiao Bin did not expect this. He only thought that Zhang Zhongmin would talk about Lin Zhibin, but he did not expect that he would report such a shocking thing: “Who is it?”
“Sergeant, who is it?” The people below were in a state of uncertainty, but without exception, they all hated such a person.
“We don’t know who it is yet.” Seeing that their expressions were honest, Zhang Zhongmin gradually relaxed a little. As long as this person was not one of this group, he would feel relieved.
“It is very difficult to investigate now, but we should not just sit back and do nothing but must take corresponding measures.”
“Today, Xiao Bin discovered that someone was accidentally injured while going out on a mission but tried hard to conceal it and almost caused a big mistake! So, at tonight’s meeting, does everyone have any good suggestions for the measures taken in response to these two incidents?”
“If we can’t find the r*pist, we must take preventive measures. We must also take measures to deal with matters such as concealing injuries while going out on a mission.”
Everyone looked at each other.
Finally, Xie Bajin, the monitor of Class 11, spoke up.
Xie Bajin was not a member of Zhang Zhongmin’s class before the end of the world, but a member of the school’s security team. In fact, the university’s security team was relatively idle.
When he had nothing to do, he liked to watch movies or read novels to pass the time.
He had no response to the r*pe case, but he had seen the concealment of injuries in novels before.
“Sergeant Zhang, I suggest that every time people go out on a mission, they must undergo a routine check-up when they come back. So I suggest that it is necessary to organize a medical team to be responsible for inspection and isolation. It is best to set up an isolation area. If there is an injury, or if they are sick or infected, they should be temporarily isolated.”
Zhang Zhongmin nodded: “Sergeant Xie’s suggestion is very good. Does anyone have any additions?”
He thought about the feasibility of what Xie Bajin said.
Xiao Bin looked at him: “Squad leader, I think the isolation area that squad leader Xie mentioned is very good. But I suggest that the isolation area be placed outside the school. After all, if it is inside the school, no one knows whether any danger will occur.”
“But if it is outside, won’t those who are isolated be in danger?”
“We can increase the number of people guarding the door in turns to ensure the safety of the isolated people. Originally, the school gate was guarded 24 hours a day.”
“Every time we go out, a team from each of the sixteen classes will go out. If we do a routine inspection when we come back, won’t there be too many people and the inspection will be too slow?”
There were more than ten to twenty people in a class, and sixteen classes had more than two hundred people. How long would it take to check them one by one?
The huge conference room suddenly became lively as everyone discussed the suggestions proposed by Xie Bajin.
Du Weiwei had been waiting for Xiao Bin, and seeing that he hadn’t come back, she couldn’t help but feel a little worried. But then she remembered that Xiao Bin said he would not go out, so there would be no danger.
He didn’t come back and Du Weiwei couldn’t sleep. And as soon as she opened the door, the cold air from outside blew in and she quickly closed the door.
The darker it got, the colder it became. Du Weiwei returned to bed and wrapped herself in the quilt, her teeth chattering slightly.
While worrying about Xiao Bin, Du Weiwei couldn’t help but think of Qin Long.
Qin Long stayed because of Fu Ke, which made Du Weiwei feel a little uneasy. But she also saw today that the girl was holding Qin Long without any hesitation, with that sweet smile on her face. She didn’t seem to dislike Qin Long, nor was she afraid of Qin Long?
