DAY 19 The Fallen University
I swapped with my brother. I told him about my guess about the verification code, and he didn't say no, he just said that he would go with me to get it. I agreed. Anyway, if you don't agree, he'll follow.
But for some reason I've been feeling uneasy ever since I hit the road, and this uneasiness has only increased as I have been driving for more time. I was worried along the way, but my brother had a calm face.
My mind was full of all sorts of conjectures: I don't know what could be in the locker? Why did An An give me this verification code at that time? Is it too late to go see that locker now? Will you accidentally get involved in something strange again? If something really happens, I'm still taking my brother with me, will I hurt my brother like this? As a result, I thought too much, and I couldn't get a good rest when I changed my brother's drive.
After nearly ten hours of driving, we arrived at the school. Because I can drive with my brother in shifts, minus the rest time, and the road is really "smooth" now, the actual time spent is more than half less than I expected.
I only brought a few essentials with me and put them in my backpack with me, leaving most of my luggage in the car. It was almost noon. The familiar school gates were closed, and there was an air of desolation everywhere.
"Sister, how are we going to get in?" The younger brother looked at the locked iron gate.
"Turn it in, I'll teach you." As a college student, it is basically common to climb over the wall because of returning late at night. I expertly kicked the pole and flipped over in a few clicks.
My brother's legs are longer than mine, so it's easier to flip up.
"The library is over here. Listen, let's go to the library and pick up our things, and then we'll leave the school right away. I told my brother. I don't know why I subconsciously feel that the school is very unsafe now, and I try not to stay for a long time if I can.
As we passed by the main building and hurried to the library behind the lotus pond, a man stopped me from afar. When I looked back, I found it in pieces. She stood on the grand staircase at the corner of the main building, half of her body hidden behind the ladder, and waved anxiously to us.
"Shattered?!" I was really surprised that I didn't expect to meet her here. Why is she here? Hasn't she come home yet? But it stands to reason that at this time, no matter how late they are professional, they should be dismissed. I thought there was no one in the school anymore. I greeted my brother and pulled him towards Shatter.
"Glutinous rice, why are you here?!" The crumbs pulled us behind the stairs and struck first. Her expression was ugly, and her attitude was a little aggressive.
"I ...... I received a text message from An An, thinking it should be a verification code from the library, so I thought it was a little weird and came to take a look. Why are you here? Haven't you gone back yet? "I was a little intimidated by her, and my tone became a little no-no.
Seeing me like this, she sighed and softened her voice, "It's not safe here right now, you can't go to the library." A lot has happened here since you left, and the school is not the same school anymore. ”
"What do you mean?" The corner of my forehead jumped suddenly, did my guess in the car come true?
"It's not for nothing that the school left our major until the end. Do you remember what I told you, Professor Xu from our school? She seems to have done some research on the ground, and then made a medicine in the pre-holiday period that would bring the infected back to their senses. Shatter pursed his lips and frowned tightly, "It's a pity that although this medicine can restore people's senses, it can't stop the physiological changes of the infected." In other words, although the infected person who took this medicine was able to regain consciousness, regain emotion, and no longer go violent, he could not prevent his body from deforming in the subsequent process of the lesion. Therefore, the infected person must face the ugliest self, and life is worse than death. ”
Shatter's expression was heavy: "After you left, the personnel sent by the government to assist in the research came. Due to the lack of manpower, most of our medical students were retained to help with Professor Xu's research. I have seen with my own eyes that infected people who have been brought to school have committed suicide in various ways after taking the medicine because they can't accept the image of their legs cracked or their brains exposed. ”
"And we weren't allowed to leave the school. The school was surrounded by armed police officers and soldiers, and the people sent by the government cut us off all contact with the outside world, confiscated all our means of communication, and blocked the signal here. At the same time, they probably told our mom and dad something, so no one came to us...... But recently, the balance here has been upset. Shatter said this, glancing out cautiously.
"There was an infected person who seemed to be a national athlete who went straight out after taking the medicine. It didn't matter how we put neurohypnotic gas into the test box, we couldn't calm down at all. Later, he broke the reinforced glass on the test box and escaped, and arrested several students who were on the scene before leaving. As soon as the news spread, those government officials immediately sent nearly half of the armed police officers and soldiers to escort Professor Xu to safety, but they left us behind, and watched us with the remaining half of the troops, and did not allow us to leave. They feel that we know too much and that going out will cause disharmony and turmoil in society. Crumbs gritted their teeth angrily, "But that's not what we want to know!" The problem is that now that the rampant infected person is still in school, isn't our safety important?! Although the other infected people have been imprisoned by increased forces, who knows that those infected people will not be able to stop once they really break out, after all, there is already a precedent. They don't even treat us students as human beings!! ”
When she calmed down a bit, she looked at us again and said, "Now there are rumors that the rampaging infected is staying in the library. The place is protected by a lotus pond, so anyone who approaches it can see at a glance. We're all scattered for our lives now, and we're afraid of accidentally running into the infected, because there's no one to help us, and no one is going to help us. ”
"There's such a thing!!" The younger brother's face was also ugly, as if he didn't believe that there could be such an inhuman thing in the world. I'm more worried about my brother's safety, and it seems that my conjecture in the car has really come true - it's a crow's mouth!! "But...... When we came in, we didn't see any armed police officers and soldiers. It was easy to get in. I asked, wanting to give myself and my brother a little more hope.
"Now there are not as many troops as before, the armed police are no longer guarding the school, I don't know how to come in, but I know that once someone wants to go out from the inside, the automatic induction alarm system will be triggered, and within 30 seconds, the armed police will rush over and escort you with a gun and let you go back. Regardless of the exit, they are professionally trained elites. ”
"How so!" I immediately got anxious and looked at my brother, I couldn't let him be in such danger because of me.
"Sister, I'm with you, it's okay." My brother thought I was scared and hurriedly comforted me.
No, I've got to figure out a way. "Do you know what the alarm system uses to induce? Sound? Light? Gravity Sensing or Human Body Infrared? I asked Shattered.
"I don't know...... I don't understand these things at all. "I just saw some students running out, and all of a sudden the alarm sounded, and then a group of armed police rushed over and subdued them." I don't think those armed police took us seriously at all. ”
"Now, then, there's only one way to destroy that system." I pondered for a moment, "We'll lead the infected to the door, and then go out while the armed police are dealing with the infected." "And if I'm not mistaken, the reason why the armed police haven't taken action against the infected for so long is because they guessed that they might lose both." As for the method of citation, I probably have an idea......"
