Volume 1 Campus Chapter 6 The Road to Living

The atmosphere in the kitchen was very silent, and the two of them did not say anything, only the constant howls of zombies from the rooftop, and the sound of their messy footsteps, still reminding them of the current environment.

The sunny-looking boy looked at the skylight on the ceiling with some concern, not knowing when the zombies would leave.

He had been hiding here safely, and the reason why he ended up in this field was entirely because he saved a man, the girl who was squatting by the stove. It's just that at this time, there is no blood on her flawless face, and her already fair skin has become even paler, and even a little transparent, as if she has just received some great blow. Even so, the boy was still stupid.

Is there such a beautiful girl in our school?

He thought to himself, in his impression, he didn't seem to have heard of the girl in front of him, the only thing he could think of was Xu Xiaoqi in the third class, but he had seen Xu Xiaoqi, and it was not the same person at all. You must know that with her appearance, I am afraid that not only her grade, but other grades should have heard of it, but there has never been news of her, could it be that she just turned around today?

He secretly looked at Ye Yuyao while desperately thinking about information that might be related to her in his mind.

If it was Ye Yuyao before, she would have looked at her suspiciously, but now she doesn't have that mind at all, knowing the truth, she is like a frosted eggplant, and she has lost interest in everything. Her heart has been filled with fear, helplessness, and confusion, and the unknown is always terrifying.

What's going on...... Why is this happening......

There was only one sentence left in her mind.

"The ......"

An abrupt voice broke the silence, and Ye Yuyao raised his head and looked at the boy blankly.

was stared at by Ye Yuyao's gaze again, and the boy looked embarrassed again. He scratched his cheek and plucked up the courage to ask:

"I don't know your name yet......"

"Ye Yuyao. "

Ye Yuyao replied without thinking about it, she was in a trance and didn't think about the consequences of saying this at all, and by the time she understood, it was already too late.

Oops, awful! How did I tell my real name!

The brain, which had been groggy all the time, suddenly woke up, as if it had been smashed with a chalk by the teacher when he was sleepy in class. Ye Yuyao felt a hot sensation slowly creep up from his back, and his heart beat faster.

"Ye Yuyao...... "

The boy seemed to recall Ye Yuyao's name repeatedly, which made her feel more uneasy, and the feeling of heat on her body became stronger.

This guy won't know me, will he? What can I do about this...... Damn why am I such an idiot...... I should just make up a name......

Ye Yuyao stared at the boy's face, thinking of this remedy in his mind, while noticing the change in the expression on his face. I saw him pondering, as if he was correlating with a certain name in his memory, and Ye Yuyao also knew that he was finished......

"My name is Chen Tao. "

He smiled at Ye Yuyao and said his name.

His reaction surprised Ye Yuyao, but then a sense of sadness came to his heart.

Sure enough...... Am I not famous......

Ye Yuyao smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't expect that ordinary people could save his life, although it was very sad.

However, being so disturbed by him, Ye Yuyao felt as if he had withdrawn from that confusion, yes, he would eventually face it.

She decided not to think about those things for the time being, after all, she had already become like this, plus the bizarre phenomenon was not only her, but there must be some connection between the two, but she couldn't solve it, so leave it to the scientists.

It's also strange to say, like such a ridiculous thing, she thought it would take a long time to accept it, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, perhaps, it was because she had experienced so much in a day today that she was numb.

Thinking like this, Ye Yuyao couldn't help but smile bitterly, but Chen Tao on the side was fascinated by this melancholy smile......

At that moment, a wave of thirst and hunger came over her, and she remembered that she hadn't eaten or drunk water for hours.

Chen Tao ...... Is there water here? "

When she asked him this, Chen Tao was immediately frightened and came back to his senses, he secretly sighed at Ye Yuyao's charm, and hurriedly replied:

"Yes! Yes! It's just tap water. Are you going to drink it? "

"Hmm. "

Ye Yuyao just wanted to get up, but was stopped by Chen Tao.

"I'll pick it up for you. "

"That'...... Thank you. "

Chen Tao smiled, got up and walked to the flow table, turned on the faucet and filled it with the bowl next to him, and walked back to serve it to Ye Yuyao.

After Ye Yuyao took the water, he didn't care if he would have a stomachache after drinking it, he directly took it and poured it into his stomach, the dryness in his throat was finally relieved, and even his hunger was reduced a lot.

"Whew...... Well, Chen Tao, do you know how the situation is now? I mean, about this disease. ”

After drinking, Ye Yuyao wiped the water that accidentally flowed out of his mouth and asked. What she wants to know most now is this, after all, this may also be the reason why she became a girl, but the most important thing is that Ye Yuyao wants to know what is wrong with the world now, her parents...... Friend, are they still alive?

Seeing Ye Yuyao's appearance, Chen Tao was also full of black lines, but when he heard her question, his expression became solemn again.

"Well, I've been listening to radio broadcasts here on my mobile phone, and the Internet has been unavailable since noon, and what it says is really bad, and I heard them say that the epidemic has spread all over the world, and many places have fallen...... You'd better hear for yourself. After speaking, he took out his Samsung mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Ye Yuyao.

Cell phone?

After Ye Yuyao saw his mobile phone, his eyes lit up, maybe he ...... She can use this to reach her parents.

But even if you can get in touch, how can you do that? Now their own voice...... Can they believe that it is their son's? Besides, if she told them that she had become a girl, would they believe it and accept it? If they don't answer, will they be able to accept that kind of thing?

She hesitated, and the excitement in her heart was gradually diluted by this desperate environment. In the end, she still didn't make up her mind to contact her parents, and she was afraid that she would lose them if she did.

She silently took the phone, put on the headphones, the broadcast inside continued, the female announcer's voice still sounded so upright and orderly, but the content inside was different from the previous prosperity.

“…… The outbreak has spread globally, with experts estimating that the number of infected people has reached one-third of the global population...... Japan asked the United States to send troops for humanitarian relief, but it was denied...... The United Nations convened an emergency meeting to discuss whether to use nuclear weapons to clean up the severely affected areas. The programme has not yet been decided, largely due to the absence of heads of State...... Israel has closed all traffic into the country and severely restricted the movement of people, but the situation in the country remains bleak...... Biologists and virologists from all over the world are stepping up research on the virus, and they said that they will do their best to develop a vaccine......"

Ye Yuyao changed the channel frequently, and every time she changed, her eyebrows wrinkled a little. It's pretty much the same, it's all very bad, there's no hope, and that's just the surface.

Is the end of the world really coming?

She felt that this was no longer a question, but a fact.

At this time, in the channel that Ye Yuyao had just changed, such a paragraph came out:

“…… The city government said that everything is still under control and the public should not worry. He also told the people to stay at home as much as possible, close doors and windows, block the doors of their houses as much as possible, stock up on supplies, and wait for the government and the army to rescue them. If you have a family member who has been bitten or has a fever or cough, it is important to isolate them for your safety and that of your family. In addition, the government has set up shelters where you and your family can be kept safe and fed......"

Ye Yuyao didn't believe the nonsense that "everything is under control" in it, but the shelter sounded like a good place, but it was also good, and the place she wanted to go to most now was her home. The end of the world has come, and she just wants to find her family, although they must not know her anymore, but as long as they are sure that they are safe, it is enough. After that, she could go to the shelter in peace, and that might be the only place for her to go.

"Do you know about the Vault?"

Ye Yuyao took off the headphones and asked while returning the phone to Chen Tao.

"Ah...... Well, of course I know, it's set up at a military base on the outskirts of the city, and if I find my parents, I'm going to talk to them about going there. ”

"Suburban ...... Where is it on the outskirts of the city? "

"I don't know...... The place mentioned above is very unfamiliar, although I looked at the map, but the specific way to go is still not clear. "

"Okay. "

Ye Yuyao replied with some disappointment, Chen Tao scratched his head embarrassedly, but he suddenly remembered a very important thing, and hurriedly asked:

"By the way, I just heard you calling for help from the rooftop, and there seems to be the sound of a helicopter, is it the army? "

"Well, but...... They drove away, and it didn't matter how loud I shouted. "

"That's right...... "

This time it was Chen Tao's turn to be disappointed, he thought there would be rescue, but he didn't expect this result.

"…… "

Ye Yuyao didn't know what to say, so she had to look around and think about what to do next.

Well...... Here's the kitchen, the water is enough, and it can be heated with a stove, but what about the food?

In Ye Yuyao's impression, the vegetables in the canteen are brought in from outside every day, and the refrigerated meat should be in the freezer on the first floor.

But how long can it last? Will the army come to the rescue as it says on the radio? Ye Yuyao felt that even if it was, it would be a long time later, at least if this epidemic could be controlled, but no one knew how long it would take.

And most importantly, the zombies on the roof, when will they leave? If not, maybe find a way to divert them.

"You...... Want to get out of here? "

Coldly, Chen Tao came up with this sentence, but his expression was a little nervous, and he didn't seem to know whether to say this sentence or not.

What does he mean? Does he have a way? But why is it that expression?

Seeing Ye Yuyao looking at him suspiciously, Chen Tao continued:

"Do you see the gates of our school? "

Ye Yuyao looked in the direction of his finger, and through the glass of the kitchen window, he could see the school gate in front of the teaching building, but there were many zombies gathered there, and the number was no less than the group she saw in the open space in front of the cafeteria.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"Not long after the outbreak of this disease here in our school, the army came, but it was just ...... They didn't last long, the gunfire attracted a lot of zombies, and there weren't many of them, so they were quickly wiped out. ”

Ye Yuyao's heart was a little surprised, even the army couldn't handle those zombies? Although their vitality is very strong, they can be killed as long as they get a headshot. Or did the army not know that this would take them out?

"Still, they left something useful, did they notice the military truck? With that, we can get out of here. ”

Walking through the layers of corpses, Ye Yuyao saw the military truck that Chen Tao said, and she also noticed that there were not many zombies next to the truck.

"You...... Can drive? ”

"Hah...... Chen Tao smiled embarrassedly, "Don't look at me as just a high school student, I learned to drive with my dad for more than a month in the summer vacation after last year's high school entrance examination, as long as I find the right place for each part, there is absolutely no problem with making it run." ”

Ye Yuyao's eyes lit up, he didn't expect to meet such a powerful teammate.

"But do you have the keys to that car? "

"Of course not. Ye Yuyao, who heard this, really wanted to beat him, but his next words turned her impulse into ecstasy, "But like that old-fashioned military truck, you can do it without a key, as long as you use the wiring to ignite it." "

As for how to start the car, Ye Yuyao felt that it didn't matter, as long as he could go home, he could do anything.

"Those zombies...... "

Ye Yuyao didn't want to ask this again and again, but after all, it was a matter of life, and it was not okay not to think about it carefully.

"yes, it's impossible to get past now, maybe in a few days, in a few days they'll be gone, and then we'll be able to get out of here. "

"Perhaps...... It doesn't take that long. "

"Uh...... Ha? "

Ye Yuyao looked at the campus outside the window, turned his head and said to him with a smile, but at this moment he remembered something very boring.

It was in the last semester, just after the end of the third monthly exam, he was sitting in his seat in a daze bored as usual, when Lin Han came over, patted him on the shoulder, and greeted:

"Hey, what's going on? "

"Think about life. "

"You're enough...... Hey, Yu Yao, let me ask you, do you want to go out to surf the Internet at noon today? "

"You mean...... "

"Hehe, of course I went out over the wall. "

Ye Yuyao had long known that Lin Han and their roommates went to the Internet café from time to time, but he only watched them go and never participated. But today, when Lin Han said this, he also wanted to try it a little.

It's true that it's boring to stay in school all the time, and it seems like a good idea to go out.

He wasn't a good student, and he didn't do anything about going over the wall, but it was only in elementary school, and there was no need to go to junior high school because it was a day school, and when he got to high school, this closed environment really made him miserable.

"Good! "

Ye Yuyao replied briskly, but Lin Han seemed a little surprised:

"I'll go, I'll treat you as a good student...... "

"Hey, didn't I go out with you many times when I was in elementary school? "

"Is there such a thing? "

"What kind of memory do you have...... "

"Ahem, who would remember something so long ago, oh yes, we'll go after school, remember to walk with us. "

"Hmm. "

There is no need to dwell on what happened later. After school, Ye Yuyao followed Lin Han and they turned out of a corner of the school, that place was known by Lin Han from the sophomore who played with him, the process was very smooth, the only thing that made Ye Yuyao a little embarrassed was that he accidentally scratched the skin because he was a little nervous, fortunately he reacted quickly at that time, otherwise it would have been too big.

After returning at noon, Ye Yuyao was still a little worried about whether he would be discovered by the head teacher, but nothing happened, but Ye Yuyao never went to Lin Han again, maybe because he was a thief. He's always been so cautious, and to put it mildly, he's timid.

Thinking of this, Ye Yuyao wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

There will be no more days like that.

…………

Ye Yuyao silently looked at a corner of the campus, that was where she and Lin Han had climbed over the wall before, and at this time, there were a few zombies wandering around, and there was no trace of the past.

She looked at the wall surrounded by iron railings and had an escape plan in mind.
