Chapter III
The door to the fire escape staircase clicked open, and I slowly leaned against the wall, carefully sticking my head out to check the hallway, except for a few crumbling corpses that had been eaten outside, only the blood that had already coagulated.
"Safe, we'll go to the infirmary as soon as we're inside." I waved my hand for them to move on.
Entering the hallway, we immediately heard the sound of roars and noisy footsteps, which were obviously coming from outside, which was supposed to be Yumiko unleashing the walking corpses of the stadium.
Everyone swallowed, the corridor was so long that I couldn't see what was in front of me because the sunlight was so strong.
As we approached the corner, the door of the fire staircase behind us suddenly made a loud and terrible crash.
"Are they coming in?" Natasha asked worriedly.
"Hide in an empty classroom and lock the door." I slowly lay on the ground and slowly moved towards the fire staircase, making sure that there was nothing coming out of the corner behind me.
Slowly raising my rifle, I opened the security door again, and Yumiko stood outside the door sweating profusely.
"I collapsed the stairs on the first floor, they won't come up for a while, and the only thing to pay attention to now is the central staircase." Yumiko looked at me, "Can I go in now?" ”
"Ah, I'm sorry." I immediately stepped out of the way and locked the door again.
"How's that tricky thing going?" I asked, "Did the walking corpses really eat that big ball of meat?" ”
"It tastes good, it seems that this thing is indeed not a virus mutation."
Sonny and Natasha walked over and whispered to us, "We found a radio in the classroom with an emergency radio on it. ”
"That's great, will there be rescue?"
Sonny shook his head, "They've started to evacuate the island, the siege has failed, but the last evacuated ship is still guarded by the army, and they're arranging for the last group of residents to evacuate." ”
"We can't catch up unless we have transportation now." I spread my hands helplessly.
"We have." "It's just that you might need to go back to the teacher's office again." ”
"Do you want to use the bus for school activities?" It dawned on me that the key to this bus should still be hanging on the wall of the office.
"That's a good idea, Yang, and the two of us can go find the key."
"Then senior, please go to the infirmary to find the remaining supplies, preferably stretchers and the like, we will meet in this classroom."
"Okay, then John and I will go to the infirmary, Natasha, you stay."
Yumiko and I climbed up the fire escape ladder, and since the stairs below had already collapsed by Yumiko, I tried not to make too many movements so as not to fall.
Yumiko and I were able to get back to the office area very easily, it was relatively safe for now, and the only possible threat was the wandering walking corpses that had stumbled into.
"Are we the only ones in the school who survived?" I couldn't help but feel a little sad when I looked at the empty school building.
"It's incredible, right, it feels like we're going to survive." Yumiko said nonchalantly.
"What do you mean?" I uh didn't understand what Yumiko meant, she meant as if she was implying that the disaster was man-made.
"Don't show a look of righteous indignation, and ask me to say that the teachers in this school deserve retribution."
"You're going a little too far, aren't you?"
"Excessive? Think about it yourself, when ** forcibly brought us here to perform inhumane transformation operations on us, they modified our brains and peeked into our memories, isn't this enough? Yumiko sneered, "I hope I'm wrong, otherwise, it's probably just a simple unit test." ”
I was silent when I heard Yumiko's words, we students were brought here when we were almost five years old, but we don't remember anything about our previous lives, some students have always maintained a hateful attitude towards school, but they didn't show it, maybe it could really be a simple unit test, and we are already predetermined to pass.
But why is that? For what purpose? Why do so many students choose us?
"Don't think about it, you can't think of anything now, let's leave this school first." Yumiko took off the key to the bus from under the nail in the wall and handed it to me, "We are now grasshoppers on a rope, and I hope you will maintain an honest and trusting attitude towards us anyway." ”
By the time we reached the parking lot, Natasha and Sonny and John were already waiting for us at the bus with a stretcher, and after opening the bus door and placing the supplies and securing the stretcher, I started the engine, and soon the sound of the engine attracted a group of walking corpses.
"Hold on, we're going to get out of this hellish place."
Everyone else in the carriage was clutching to the seats, and my original body on the stretcher was firmly tied to the stretcher.
The car crushed the heads of the walking corpses like road rollers, and pieces of blood, **, and other body tissue were plastered all over the windshield.
"Step on the accelerator, and before we get out of the middle at this speed, our tires might get tangled in something from their body tissue."
"Look!"
I turned on the windshield wipers and pressed the accelerator to the bottom, and after the car shook violently like a speed bump, the car slammed out of the school gate, and I slowly drove the car onto the highway from memory, which was the fastest way from the school to the docks.
"Great, the internet seems to be working." Natasha looked at her phone happily, "They said that the virus can't survive in cold, highland places, so they are going to climb Mount Everest." ”
"Mount Everest? These guys are crazy, aren't they? Normally, climbing Mount Everest would kill people, now to climb Mount Everest? John clutched his head and shouted.
"There's not a single truth on the Internet." I muttered and turned on the car radio, thinking that maybe I could listen to the ** emergency announcement here.
"We apologize to remind you that regular programming has been suspended indefinitely, so please stay indoors and keep your radio running until further instructions are received so that you can receive updates on the situation." The synthetic mechanical computer voice on the radio said emotionlessly, "The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Infectious Diseases reminds you, please do not go out, set up barricades around your home, avoid contact with infected people, if you must bring weapons for going out, the people in the United States can use firearms, but please note that any knives and firearms that hurt uninfected people will be punished by law." ”
"It seems that this time the virus is global." I feel like there's no place in the world that is safe anymore.
I stopped the car just as it was about to pass through the tunnel, because there were so many walking corpses and abandoned vehicles in the tunnel, and it was difficult for such a large bus to pass through the tunnel without cleaning it up.
"Why did you stop?" Natasha looked at the dark tunnel with some fear, "Let's get out of here and go through this tunnel." ”
"Gotta wait, we're going to clear a way out of this tunnel." I stood up from the driver's seat and picked up my rifle, "Sonny, can you help me drive this bus?" ”
"Me? I've only driven a car in the game... ”
"It doesn't matter, you just need to step on the accelerator slowly, this is the brake, you just need to drive slowly." I told him the basics, and I got out of the car with my rifle, and of course Yumiko followed me, but she had an extra rifle in her hand that she didn't know where to find it.
I motioned for Sonny to slowly step on the accelerator, and the car shook violently and began to move forward slowly.
Yumiko and I slowly walked into the tunnel by the bus, and it didn't take long to see the black pressed walking corpses, these monsters immediately pounced like moths when they saw the lights, and in order not to waste bullets, I adjusted the weapon in my hand to a single shot, so that the weapon became controllable, and I would not suddenly be frightened when I suddenly got into the corpse.
"Met the enemy, right ahead, they came over the obstacles."
Yumiko pulled the trigger first, and the rifle echoed loudly in the tunnel, but this also meant that we would attract more infected people, but our ammunition was a big problem, and since I didn't have a 5.56 magazine pack, I could only squeeze four magazines into the pocket of my skirt, but it was inconvenient and there was no way to replenish the empty magazine.
"We just need to clear a lane that will allow the bus to move forward." Yumiko pointed to the van and car that had collided in front of her.
I knocked on the glass and motioned for John to come down and take a hand.
Fortunately, the car that had flipped on its side did not leak oil, otherwise we would have to worry about exploding at any time.
"Change the magazine, cover me." Yumiko hands the empty magazine to Natasha through the window, and Natasha hands the newly pressed magazine to Yumiko through the window.
After I managed to turn the car over, a hand reached out from the broken glass of the car and grabbed my arm.
I panicked, and I quickly looked over to the driver's seat, where a walking corpse with half of its face cut off and broken glass in its chest was trying to grab my hand and stuff it into his half-lost mouth.
I tugged at my arm to try to break free from the zombie's grasp, but he was so powerful that he almost tore my arm off.
John unfastened the quick-release strap and took my rifle, he pushed the muzzle of the gun to the half of the head of the walking corpse and pulled the trigger, and the blood and ** splashed me again, but it was worth it for my life back.
Luckily, the traffic jam caused by the chain of crashes was only at the entrance of the expressway tunnel, and after pulling away several vehicles that had collided with each other, we were finally able to clear a size that could be used by buses to get in and out.
The bus came out of the tunnel, we could already see the pier, there were a lot of small black spots on the sea, those were the evacuation boats, it seemed that ** was not going to abandon these people.
"Don't say you're a student on this island when we see the army later, do you hear that?"
"Why is that?" Natasha asked puzzledly, "Isn't it important to report our situation truthfully at this time?" ”
"It's because it's a critical moment like this that you can't trust anyone." Yumiko lowered her voice, "They're the best people, and if they knew where we came from, they might take us to some secret facility and imprison us forever." ”
"So what to do?" Hearing Yumiko's words, Natasha's voice became anxious, "Do you only ask why, I said that I would try my best to hide my identity." ”
"Don't talk to your senior sister like that, Yumiko." I don't know where Yumiko's anger came from, and Natasha, who was suddenly used as a gas bucket on the side, also shrank in Sonny's arms.
"Alright, cheer up, we'll be able to leave this place and start a new life in a moment, won't we?"
No one answered me, they all silently put on their backpacks and supplies, but no one was willing to help support my other body anymore.
I had no choice but to carry myself and pray that the wound would not open again.
"Are you residents of this island?"
"No, we're here for a tour." During the check-in, I made a nonsense excuse that I was the tour guide of the tour group, and these were all tourists from our travel agency. ”
"What's wrong with the guy you're carrying?"
"He was shot." I pointed to the wound on my other body, "If you don't believe it, you can do a blood test on him." ”
"You must do it when you get tested, you can go over, go inside and separate, women go to the testing channel on the right, men go to the inspection channel on the left, and the tourist you are carrying will have a special medical team to check."
"Okay, thank you."
"One more thing, no weapons are allowed in the wear, all your firearms and props are thrown into this box."
It seems that the soldiers don't care where the guns in our hands come from, they only care about what we turn in.
As Yumiko and I looked at each other, I reluctantly threw my rifle into the recycling bin in front of the soldier.
I saw that most of them were weapons such as props and clubs, and even a few GBB toy guns, and maybe the two soldiers thought we were toy guns too.
"It's hard to imagine that this is the last group of residents to be evacuated." Yumiko, who was standing on the steps, looked at the crowd at her feet, "I'm afraid we'll have to stay here until the night." ”
"As long as we don't suddenly see some walking corpses behind us, the rest doesn't matter." I sighed, "Why did you say that to my senior sister, it's not her fault that this city has become like this... ”
