Chapter XXVII
"We've been here for too long, and it's time to go."
This was the first thing Du Jiujiu said after returning to the dormitory. The small space made her feel very oppressive, and she always felt like she could smell blood.
"Why so suddenly?" Hu Xiaoyun was still fiddling with those nail polishes, and couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Du Jiujiu's words.
"We had planned to leave, but we have been delayed by all kinds of things, and now everyone is in good shape, and there is still plenty of dry food, and there is no better time than now." An Cheng also agreed with Du Jiujiu's proposal.
"But I haven't woken up yet!" Guoguo was a little anxious, she watched her companions awaken one by one, and she was the only one left, and she still had no ability.
"It's okay, we'll protect you. Let's get out of here first, find a safe place, and we'll wake up later. Du Jiujiu's desire to leave here was very strong, not only because the corpses of Yao Meng and Wang Lin made her feel depressed, but also because she faintly felt that this place was no longer safe.
After some discussion, after several people agreed to leave, everyone began to pack their bags.
Since they had prepared for the trip in advance, the food they ate in the past few days was some large-packaged food that was not easy to carry. And some small, high-energy food is collected by them in the backpack early so that they can take it away.
Du Jiujiu rummaged through his own mountaineering bag, which alone accounted for more than half of the backpack, except for a large bag of candy, chocolate, two bags of biscuits, a bag of mustard and two bottles of mineral water, the rest were bird jerky baked by Hu Xiaoyun. Also in the corner of the backpack were a flashlight, two batteries, two fruit knives, a pair of scissors, a bottle of iodophor and a roll of bandages. "It seems that in their eyes, I have become a professional injured person." Du Jiujiu said secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She thought about it for a moment, then found a sports jacket and a pair of trousers to put inside, just in case.
As for the bedding that she had planned to take away, she was not interested at all at this time. Since awakening, she's become more resistant to the cold. The futon can only bring her some comfort, but a little more weight will increase a lot of danger. In today's last days, everyone is fighting for survival, and the enjoyment of life has become the most luxurious thing.
That evening, they ate the self-heating hot pot they had been cherishing, drank all the remaining cans of beer, and continued the hearty experience that had been interrupted last time.
Today is the ninth day of their apocalypse, and in these nine days, they have grown from female college students who are ignorant of the world to female warriors who have gone through life and death and are not afraid of difficulties.
Growing up always comes with pain, but only in this way can they survive in a monster-infested world.
When night fell, they all went to bed early. Du Jiujiu hugged his quilt tightly, buried his head deeply, and fell asleep surrounded by a familiar atmosphere.
Tomorrow's departure represents a complete farewell to a comfortable life, and she wants to meet more ups and downs outside with the best attitude.
The next morning, everyone wore only the simplest sportswear, and the black toba-woven vest was put under the tracksuit. Everyone carried a large hiking bag with the most important supplies.
In order to facilitate her movements, Du Jiujiu tied her hair high into a ponytail, and the long knife was also tied behind her in a place that was easy to reach.
After a brief period of reorganization, the group left the dormitory with anticipation and some fear of the outside world.
Just as a few people were walking outside, at the corner of the stairs, a slender figure suddenly walked out, wearing a white dress, carrying a small backpack, and a water-blue hair smoothly draped behind her.
When Du Jiujiu saw such a strange girl, they couldn't help but enter a state of vigilance.
"Don't be nervous, I ...... I have no ill intentions. Seeing that they had all figured out their weapons, the blue-haired girl took a few steps back in fear, and immediately began to explain, her voice crisp and beautiful, which made it difficult to arouse disgust.
"My name is Wei Qingqing, and I am a freshman student in the Department of Foreign Languages. Are you going to get out of here? Can you bring me with you? ”
Seeing this, several of them looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. Although she is a classmate in school, no one has ever touched her, and in today's world, several of them can only protect themselves, and bringing another person is equivalent to adding a bit of danger.
However, Du Jiujiu just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Wei Qingqing's words.
"Don't be too busy saying no, I suddenly had a very special ability two days ago, I guess...... You're going to need it! As soon as the words fell, Wei Qingqing raised a hand, and with the water-blue hair behind her fluttering gracefully, a ball of clear water slowly condensed in her hand.
"It's ...... Water!? Du Jiujiu took a few steps forward in surprise, trying to see the liquid in her hand.
Although there is no shortage of food, the reserves of fresh water are getting smaller and smaller, since the tap water has been cut off, they have not taken a bath for many days, and Du Jiujiu can even smell the pungent smell of blood coming from his body.
"That's right, it's a water ability!" Wei Qingqing withdrew the water balloon, with a slightly smug expression, "How about it, you won't suffer a loss if you bring me, right?" ”
"What's so great about that, it's so far from our abilities!" Seeing her proud appearance, Guoguo replied a little sourly. But she also had to admit in her heart that this was indeed one of the most useful abilities, in the last days, most of the water has been polluted, and in this time of bacteria and viruses, drinking untreated water will undoubtedly increase her chances of getting sick. And where there is a water source, it also means that there will be various mutated creatures, and it is not easy to snatch the water source from their hands.
And Wei Qingqing's water system ability represents unlimited freshwater resources, and I believe that no team can resist such a temptation.
Of course, Du Jiujiu also understood this, and when he saw that they were all looking at him, he immediately nodded and agreed to Wei Qingqing's joining.
"Great, I was worried that it would be a little dangerous to go out alone, but now I feel much safer with you!" A light smile appeared on Wei Qingqing's face.
"What?! Are you still planning to go out alone? Guoguo was shocked to hear her words, she had experienced the dangers outside.
"That's right, I'm going to find my grandma, she's old, and I don't worry about her. I used to be afraid to go out, but now that I've awakened my abilities, I can protect myself. Speaking of grandma, Wei Qingqing's expression was a little gloomy, it has been many days since the biological mutation, I don't know if she can take care of herself alone, and whether the food at home is enough to eat......
