Chapter 7: Undercurrents
The entire campus was covered in a dead air. No one went to class anymore, and all the classrooms were left with dusty desks and chairs. There were still people walking around the campus, but their expressions were the same, no one spoke, everyone just walked with their heads down, and perhaps even they themselves did not know where they were going. The dormitory was equally quiet, and everyone was either lying on the bed or sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at the air in front of them, and all their thoughts seemed to stand still.
He Xun stood on the highest floor of the administrative building, looking at the tomb-like campus, and fear was faintly rising in his heart. He knew that this was just the silence before the disaster, and there was an unpredictable crisis lurking in every corner, and as for the deadly *** hanging above his head at this time, there was a possibility of spontaneous combustion at every moment. He Xun took out the phone, hesitated and pressed the spell-like number.
"When will the next person arrive?" said the familiar voice on the phone, and the tone in the voice was also familiar to the devil.
"You know what the school is like now. Bedroom 3 is empty, and everyone's nerves are on high tension, and if something like a disappearance happens at this time, I'm afraid there will be another riot. He Xun wiped the sweat from his head, and used all his courage to express his powerlessness to the orders of the person on the phone for the first time.
A sigh came from the phone that made He Xun breathe a sigh of relief, at least it showed that the person on the phone had not completely lost his mind.
"How's the blood bank going?" asked the voice on the phone.
"Many of the dead bodies were resurrected, and Old Man Zhang locked them up. But if they don't find a way to get rid of them within three days, they will regain all their strength, and with time they will increase exponentially, and at that point, there will be nothing left to stop these vicious creatures. He Xun said.
"Then let them out, and we'll leave the secret passage you left behind when the school was closed, and go to the next place. The voice on the phone said.
"What about that blood bank, just threw it away, we've been working for it for so many years!" He Xun's voice involuntarily raised, he really didn't expect the person on the phone to make such a suggestion.
"Then what can I do, do you have a better way? What Li Ju wants most when she comes back this time is my life, and she has found the blood bank, which is the only way for her to be resurrected. Now who will be able to enter the blood bank and turn off that deadly switch. Are you going or am I going?" The voice on the phone revealed all kinds of helplessness, and He Xun heard for the first time that the person on the phone was showing weakness in front of him.
"We still have a chance, and we can wait a little longer. He Xun said.
"Chance? Xue Kaimo?" said the person on the phone.
"Li Tang's brother tried to kill him, but failed again. I had no choice but to ask Old Man Zhang to go to him and tell him the truth about what we had made up, hoping to deceive him. I feel more and more that there may really be some kind of special power in this Xue Kaimo's body, and maybe only he can fight against Li Tang. He Xun said.
"Don't be delusional. The person on the phone suddenly lost his patience, his voice was full of terrifying majesty, and He Xun's hand holding the phone trembled violently, and he almost dropped the phone.
"Now you only have two ways," said the man on the phone, "first, send one more person over, maybe this time I can succeed, and then we can deal with this school even if there is a zombie infestation." Second, be ready to leave quickly. Of course, you also have a third option, stay here and wait to die. After saying this, the person on the phone hung up.
He Xun stood in front of the window, continuing to make phone calls, but his mind was dead silent.
