Chapter 3: Zombies

The sound insulation of the iron gate was quite good, but there were still faint screams and invectives.

The sound of chirping dispersed the awkward atmosphere between Yun Qi and Xia Xiyue.

Yun Qileng paused, and curiously wanted to go to the door to see what was going on, but was stopped by Xia Xiyue.

"Xiao Xi?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be quiet. ”

I could feel that Xia Xiyue was very nervous, her face was full of solemnity, she gently pulled out the long knife placed in the scabbard with one hand, protected Yun Qi behind her with the other, and stuffed the wooden knife into her hand. The slightly bent knees are a sign of strength, coupled with the tight body, Yun Qi thinks that if someone opens the door and breaks in, Xia Xiyue will definitely be able to cut the other party in a second.

The question is, who can break into the three-lock iron gate?

When surprised by Xia Xiyue's nervousness, Yun Qi couldn't help but feel that his best friend was making a little fuss, even funny.

In addition to the teacher who manages the club, the key to this small warehouse is only owned by himself, and there are two locks or inner buttons, even if you get the key, you can't open this iron door, will the people outside knock the door open?

But the sound of the second came to Yun Qi and felt that something was wrong.

A crowd of people gathered outside, and for some reason, they tried all kinds of means to knock, bang, beg, beat, and pry at the door, just to get into this small warehouse.

If it weren't for the iron door being strong enough, the average classroom door would have been smashed open by these guys.

It's a pity that there is no window on the door, so you can't peek into the outside situation...... No, there are windows that must have been broken long ago.

What's more, there are some things that are better not to see, not to listen, and not to know.

Yun Qi couldn't help but think of the "jokes" that Xia Xiyue said, and suddenly felt chills all over her body, like being drenched on the head by a bucket of ice water, could it really happen what she said just now?

Fortunately, these sounds only lasted less than a minute, probably because they felt that the two people inside would not open the door, and the guy outside the door gave up very quickly, even though there was still a slight commotion outside, no one knocked on the door.

Because of this, Yun Qi's crisis radar resounded even more - if it was Xia Xiyue's self-directed prank (although the probability of this was extremely small), then it should continue for a while, right?

At this moment, a faint smell of blood came.

Blood slowly seeped into the room through the crack under the door.

Seeing this, Yun Qi gasped, and then immediately pressed his mouth.

Now she didn't want to know what was going on outside the door.

More and more blood seeped in, and it gathered in a mess at the door.

"It's okay." Xia Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her long knife. "They can't get in."

As a rule of thumb, the door is strong enough to keep the zombies out for a night.

Zombies can't come in, not to mention that there are so many big meals that can be eaten outside.

As long as the two of them don't make too much noise and don't open the door, the likelihood of encountering danger is very low.

…… The most important thing is that Yun Qi is alive and has not been bitten.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How can you be so sure? ”

"Uh, before...... It is...... The first time I hid in, several zombies banged on the door and tried to follow in, but they didn't succeed for a long time, and finally they gave up. ”

"Are you so sure it must be Resident Evil out there?"

"What else could it be?"

Yun Qi pursed his lips, noncommittal to Xia Xiyue's affirmation that there were zombies outside.

She still had doubts and curiosity, but she wasn't stupid enough to open the door and peek out.

After thinking about it, she walked over to her backpack and took out her iPad to start operating.

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to see what's going on outside."

"News?"

"What do you do when you watch the news...... I'm talking about the outside door, in the hallway, so that you can decide what to do later, and you won't want to hide in this warehouse with me for the rest of your life. ”

"But what!"

Xia Xiyue's eyes widened in surprise, because what was displayed on the iPad was the internal monitor image of the student activity center!

"The welfare club has been robbed before, and Mr. Lin, who is in charge of the welfare club, is a computer novice, and he told us to look through the monitor screen to see who is fishing." Yun Qi explained while operating. "As a result, one day I was bored and accidentally discovered that the monitor image password of the entire student activity center was the same."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ Yes, yes. ”

"So when we get the new social office, don't steal chickens and dogs inside, the teachers can see it."

Can you get it? Xia Xiyue frowned, and now she is still thinking about the new social office, this joke is not funny at all.

As everyone knows, Yun Qi is serious, she doesn't want to face the reality, after all, she hasn't really seen people eat people until now.

But the footage from the monitor made it impossible for Yun Qi to escape.

Most of the footage doesn't show anything, and occasionally a few people can be seen slowly wandering down the aisle, or on the ground with stains, but it's hard to tell if it's blood or not in the black and white footage.

There are also pictures of people falling to the ground, and those people don't move, maybe it will take a while for zombies to be resurrected.

What really made Yun Qi understand that reality had collapsed was the image on the first floor of the student activity center - that is, the image outside this warehouse.

Many people gathered at the door of the physical education department office to knock on the door to get in, and the office was huddled together. Some students held the door to prevent the outside guys from rushing in, the rest were busy moving things to block the doors and windows, and some were huddled in the corner and hugged their knees and trembled.

Yun Qi also saw a person pick up a baseball bat and beat another student mercilessly, breaking his head and bleeding, and even hitting the other party on the ground and beating desperately until the other person's head was completely damaged.

If all of the above is just a metaphor, the most obvious is the scene in the hallway.

Several people were feasting on something on the ground, Yun Qi couldn't see the whole picture of the thing on the ground, she could only see a pair of human legs through the gap, and she didn't dare to think about what the strip they bit into her mouth was.

Suddenly, the picture went dark.

"Don't look at it."

Xia Xiyue sensed that something was wrong with her best friend, and immediately turned off the power of the iPad, reached out to hug the pale, trembling Yun Qi, and gently brushed the other party's back to comfort her.

Yun Qi didn't resist, she really needs a hug now, no matter who it is, as long as it calms her down, lets her sort out the chaos, makes her delay for a while, and is ready to face this qiΔ“ again......

…… Only then did I think that if Xia Xiyue hadn't pulled her into the social office first, she would have been the same as the people outside.

Yun Qi raised his head blankly, Xia Xiyue was still the senseless face that was light and light, and could not be blown in all directions.

Just a slight frown, looking, well, almost the same.

If it weren't for knowing each other for too long, it would be really hard for Yun Qi to feel that she was caring about herself.

She has been like this since they met, Yun Qi carefully observed Xia Xiyue again.

Her half-length black hair was tied into a ponytail and hung behind her at will, but her delicate face was always expressionless, and because of this, no one thought that Xia Xiyue was a beautyβ€”although Yun Qi felt that she had this qualification. I remember that the evaluation given by the classmates was: The silent and difficult female classmates, unlike Yun Qi, Xia Xiyue is almost a shadow in the class, and she also urges everyone to practice with a strict image of the president in the club.

Tall and thin, she doesn't like to talk much, and she rarely fluctuates, except for martial arts, it is almost difficult to have anything that interests her, and every day is either bored or focused, and there is almost no time to show a smile.

…… In fact, it was probably hard for her to be happy after that kind of experience.

I remember that I used to approach Xia Xiyue because of sympathy and maybe some fun.

Later, they became friends under their own stalking, and the two experienced a lot of things together...... However, Xia Xiyue rarely showed too much emotion, no matter how Yun Qi teased her, made fun of her, and played pranks on her, she didn't care, even ...... Not care.

Yun Qi never thought that he was very important to Xia Xiyue, maybe without himself, Xia Xiyue could live a good life alone. If it weren't for the fact that his father cared about Xia Xiyue's situation very much, and he had known each other for so long and happened to be in the same department and class, Yun Qi once thought that the two would be estranged after going to college.

But today, Xia Xiyue pulled her to hide, so that the two of them avoided the fatal crisis.

And he said he wanted to...... Protect yourself.

Yun Qi felt that his cheeks began to burn again, really, isn't it just a sentence? Maybe it's a little handsome, but why do you keep it in your heart...... Well, Yun Qi admitted that he was very happy, which meant that Xia Xiyue still cared about herself, not to mention that this situation was indeed in need of a free bodyguard.

With Xia Xiyue, a martial arts master with four levels of karate and kendo, he must be much more effective than some male classmates who are powerless.

"Do you want to report your safety to your uncle and aunt first?"

"Hmm?"

When Yun Qi came back to her senses, she found that Xia Xiyue was talking to herself, she took out her phone in embarrassment, pretending that nothing had happened - in fact, Yun Qi was thinking too much, and Xia Xiyue didn't notice that she was looking at herself and seeing her trance.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ It doesn't work. ”

"Uncle and aunt are traveling abroad? Did you say which way to go? ”

"I said I was going to Nepal to climb the Himalayas...... Hey, no matter - the mountains should be safer than here, after all, there are no people, and we still worry about whether we will survive first. ”

"Hmm." Xia Xiyue hesitated for a moment and asked again. "To ...... Coaching? ”

"Uncle rarely carries a mobile phone, and the gym seems to be closed today, andβ€”" Yun Qi frowned, "Uncle and zombies, why do I think I should warn zombies of danger?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's right. ”

"You first mute your phone, turn off the vibration, and the most important thing now is not to make any sound."

"No one will call me except your family."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Your mobile phone number is available to the members of the community, who knows what humans will do when they are cornered. ”

"Good. When are we going to leave here? ”

Yun Qi thought for a moment.

"I think it's still ...... Morning is close to noon. First, there are fewer dead spots in the light, and other students will probably choose to act in the morning, and there are many people, and the possibility of being targeted by zombies is relatively low. ”

"I want to go to your house first?"

"No, go to the student welfare club on the second floor, now I should be the only one who can open the iron door, don't worry about zombies inside, and we also need food."

"That's it."

After setting the policy in a few words, Yun Qi suddenly felt a strange feeling.

"Xiao Xi, I said you ......"

"Huh?"

"Aren't you happy......"

Although I don't know what other people are like, but in the face of such a life-and-death catastrophe, why can Xia Xiyue be so calm? Yun Qi felt that he was about to be crushed by the pressure, if it wasn't for someone to rely on, maybe he would really collapse, but Xia Xiyue didn't seem to have this kind of trouble.

I even think she's happy......

"Huh? Oh, maybe. ”

"Can you still be happy at this time? Is it a nervous strip or are you a pervertβ€”"

"Because you're fine, aren't you?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ It's decided that it's a pervert, don't talk to me. ”

"Gah?"

Yun Qi's whole body turned around, ignoring the dazed best friend behind him.

Again, she was glad that the lights in the warehouse were too dim.
