Chapter 234: The Apocalypse of the Living Dead (9)
His daughter did not come back, and Lan's father and mother had no sleep all night.
According to the instructions of the "police", they used large containers that could hold water at home to store daily water, and simply packed the family's luggage into two large bags.
At night, they closed the curtains, locked the doors and windows, and did not turn on the lights or light candles to reveal their position. Even if there was a scream downstairs, they didn't dare to open the door to check, so they could only turn a blind eye and pray with guilt in their hearts. The Lan family is just an ordinary family, and in the face of such a situation, they are timid, and they dare not go to see or save it.
Their emphasis on the end of the world went smoothly as Xiao Lan expected. However, as long as it is an individual, there will be doubts about the authenticity of his daughter's statement.
After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, Lan's father and Lan's mother discussed and decided to "call back" the phone, even if the previous callback ended in a busy line. They clicked on the call log, selected a number they had recently called, and dialed it.
…………
The light of a candle that had been lit since dark became dim, and the wick was extinguished by immersion in hot wax. The music classroom was dark, and Gao Qi, who had been tired all day, couldn't sleep at first, just closed his eyes to recuperate, and then gradually fell asleep on the bench, sleeping in a dim environment.
"Beep, beet, beet!" The alarm of the mobile phone at hand began to ring, accompanied by vibration, waking up Gao Qi, who had finally fallen asleep.
Gao Qi first opened his eyes, shook his head, and after regaining consciousness, he found that his mobile phone was ringing. He subconsciously thought it was a call back from the police, and he didn't even have time to bring his glasses and didn't look at the caller ID, so he connected the phone.
"Hey, is it Comrade Police?" came a hurried greeting on the phone.
Gao Qi thought that the other party was the "policeman", but he was regarded as a "policeman" by the other party, which is a big oolong. But Gao Qi didn't deny it at the beginning, let alone speak. He chose to look at the number, which was a regular landline.
At this time, an anxious voice came from the earpiece: "We want to find our daughter, Laneige." In the evening, she called us at this number and we wanted to make sure she wasn't safe right now. ”
"Fought in the evening?" Gao Qi heard it and instantly understood.
He vaguely remembered that Xiao Lan had called Jia's family with his mobile phone...... But he didn't think that the female student's report was actually a situation of "lying".
"She shouldn't have anything to do, you wait a minute......" Knowing who was the initiator of this nonsensical call, Gao Qi decided not to say anything first, and gave the choice to Xiao Lan.
The candle had been extinguished, and Gao Qi took advantage of the faint light of his mobile phone to go to the next door to explore the way. The fire in the residential area near the school affected the entire school's electrical circuits, the whole school lost power, and the candles ran out, and Gao Qi could only use his mobile phone to light the lights.
"Knock knock ......" Gao Qi touched the next door, he chose to knock on the door first, and then spoke, "Is it inside? ”
No one responded.
Gao Qi was puzzled, he pushed open the door, only to find that the door was only half-hidden, and the candles in the room had been extinguished. The window of the single room was wide open, and the wind outside the window blew the curtains, and the moonlight shone into the darkness, and there was no one inside.
Gao Qi realized that something was wrong, the female student was gone!
Xiao Lan left, and the Kelan family was still in the dark, and a voice called from the telephone receiver in the dead silence: "Laneige?"
Gao Qi entered the room expressionlessly, sat on the bed, picked up the mobile phone and approached his ear, was silent for a while, and finally chose to say seriously: "She has left." ”
Gao Qi knew that as a teacher, he knew that he couldn't help the female student deceive the parents, and it was already the middle of the night, and the female student didn't say goodbye, afraid that she would go home, and it would not work if she didn't let her family know.
Gao Qi waited for the other party's reply, and it was weird again, there was no sound on the other side of the phone, Gao Qi picked it up and took a closer look, and the phone didn't know when it had hung up.
"She'......"
Lan's mother looked forward to the rest on the other side of the phone, but only to mention "her" simply, and the phone had already hung up - there was no electricity.
"What's wrong?"
Mother Lan was frightened by the sudden change, Father Lan realized something, opened the curtain and looked out, the surrounding community was pitch black. After being silent, he walked over to the faucet and twisted it on, and the water gushed out of his mouth, and then gradually became smaller until there was no more.
Lan's father looked up and said to Lan's mother, who was still holding the phone at a loss, "The power and water are out......"
The entire city of Nansu was plunged into darkness, and despair quietly spread in the darkness.
…………
In the early days of the living dead, it takes a certain amount of time to recover from the senses, and Xiao Lan has found this characteristic, so she has not encountered the living dead all the way through.
The school is not large, and the diameter distance from the art building to the laboratory building is only a few hundred meters, and the total number of roads to be bypassed is only about one kilometer. During this thousand-meter journey, Xiao Lan was mentally aware of the movements around him in case the living dead suddenly appeared. Advancing in a state of alertness, although sacrificing speed, allowed her to reach the laboratory building safely.
The time for the spread of the living dead is in the afternoon, and in this high school, the lab classes are scheduled for the morning. At the time of the outbreak of the living dead, the inside of the laboratory building was closed and unoccupied. Xiao Lan came to the laboratory building, and she needed to find an entrance.
Xiao Lan came to the window on one side, and slowly climbed from the anti-theft net on the first floor to the anti-theft net on the second floor, and climbed all the way to the anti-theft net on the third floor. The sprain on her foot slowed her movements, but she also gave some patience, and it took half of her to disappear to the third floor. On the anti-theft net more than ten meters above the ground, Xiao Lan looked down and saw that his heartbeat was about to speed up a few points.
Xiao Lan stepped from the anti-theft net on the third floor to the flower bed, the mud made her legs slip, kicking a jar of flowers from above, "pop!" fell on the ground more than ten meters away, shattered into pieces. Fortunately, Xiao Lan grabbed the anti-theft net in time and did not fall. The sound of falling flowers attracted the arrival of two living dead, wandering downstairs of the laboratory.
"Plop, plop, plop......" The accident just now made Xiao Lan's heart beat faster and her breath unsteady. Turning her head to look at the flower bed again, a space had been vacated, this time she was more careful, using both hands and feet, and finally reached the flower bed.
Secretly relieved in her heart, Xiao Lan didn't stay for too long, climbed from the flower bed to the railing of the corridor, and successfully came to the third floor of the experimental building. She walked to the staircase, probably because there was an experimental class tomorrow, the door of the staircase was not closed, and Xiao Lan entered the interior of the experimental building.
Running at an accelerated speed, she planned to go to the management office on the second floor to steal the key, but her eyes became blurred, and her hands touched her face, only to find that there was an abnormal fever, and she couldn't help but curse: "Damn it......"
The time for antibiotics to delay has arrived, and Xiao Lan's time is running out.
Ignoring the pain in her feet, she began to speed up, came to the management office on the second floor, broke the glass directly, climbed in, rummaged through and got the spare key, opened the door and came out.
So, Xiao Lan started from the first floor and locked all the doors on the main passages on each floor, as long as they were locked, and closed them all the way from the first floor to the roof. She opened the key to the rooftop of the laboratory building and closed the last lock.
Finally had a safety guarantee, Xiao Lan, who gritted her teeth and persevered for half an hour, lost consciousness and fell to the ground, unconscious, and feverish.
The sky changed from open to low, and the clouds were so thick that they kept pressing, obscuring the moon, and the dark clouds spread all over the entire city of Nanjuku, and the wind was blowing, and a torrential rain was about to brew. For some unknown reason, the living dead on the playground seemed to have gained induction, and their heads turned in the direction of the experimental building, and more than a thousand living dead moved in unison......
