Volume 1 Campus Chapter 8 Partners
Ye Yuyao and Chen Tao cautiously walked through the dining room, if it was before, there would be busy figures of masters here, and hungry students would stand in the window, but now it was empty. The items are neatly arranged, but they give people an indescribable sense of emptiness. They were cats, observing the zombies in the distance, and moving their steps softly, but they couldn't be too slow, they had to reach the first floor before the glass shattered. The extreme intension caused beads of sweat to appear on their foreheads and the tip of their noses, and their snorting worsened.
It didn't take long for them to come to the door, and Chen Tao's arm was relatively long, so he opened the door. He gripped the doorknob and turned it slowly, afraid to make a little noise. The process of opening the door was very long, and Chen Tao felt that his arm had been trembling during the process, and after looking carefully, he knew that it was an illusion, but fortunately, it was very smooth and there was no accident. Then Chen Tao gently pushed the door open, and as the door opened, the smell of blood and the howls of zombies poured in at once. Ye Yuyao was okay, she was almost used to the smell, but Chen Tao smelled it for the first time and almost threw it up. In order not to make a fool of himself in front of the girl, he swallowed back what he was about to vomit out, and the spicy feeling in his mouth made his face very ugly.
The doors were finally all open, and not far in front of them to the right was the staircase, and without further ado, they quickly moved there, because the movement was light, and it didn't attract the attention of the zombies. They carefully avoided the blood stains and stumps on the stairs and went down one step at a time. The most unbearable thing for them was the corpse hanging on the railing, probably because he was torn off by many zombies below when he ran up, his upper body still maintained his human appearance, but it was stuck between the railings, and the lower half of his body was lying on the stairs, gnawed only the bones with minced flesh were gnawed, and his intestines were still wrapped around the handrails of the stairs, dripping with dark red blood, reminiscent of the dried sausages hanging outside in winter.
Ye Yuyao accidentally stepped on a small section, some blood-red viscous substances were squeezed out of the intestines, and she even saw some red and yellow things mixed with it, she only felt a tingling of her scalp, she guessed that her current face must be very bad, just look at Chen Tao next to her, this guy's face is whiter than paper, and he looks like he is trying not to spit it out.
The two walked down almost of their will.
As soon as they entered the first floor, they were noticed by the zombies wandering there, the living dead who were worried that they had nothing to fill their stomachs, and two fresh food items were brought to their door. They howled, dragging their mutilated and rotting bodies as they hobbled toward the two of them. That's all they do, they find food, they eat it, and they keep looking for it.
These zombies are all students, both male and female, and they are wearing the same black, red and white school uniforms as Ye Yuyao, but there is more blood on them than on Ye Yuyao's body, hanging in tatters on their shriveled bodies, and with the shaky steps, they look like a group of beggars.
Ye Yuyao counted, there were six zombies in front of her, this number, she didn't think Chen Tao could handle it alone.
She looked at Chen Tao, and sure enough, her face was in trouble, her right hand held the bone chopping knife tightly, and the green tendons in her hand were violent, but she didn't dare to go up. At this time, Chen Tao noticed that Ye Yuyao was looking at him, and he was shocked: Damn! How could I be cowardly at this time! It's just a few zombies, what's there to be afraid of...... They are so slow that they shouldn't be a threat to me.
After making up his mind, Chen Tao walked forward quickly and walked towards the first zombie. This is a male classmate with a pair of glasses on his face, and he must have been a good student with a good mannered image before, but now the wound on his shoulder that can almost see the bones and the insect-like expression on his face completely ruined his image. When he saw the food coming, his howl became louder, and he stretched out his hand towards Chen Tao, who slashed at the zombie's head before it could raise its arm.
The broad blade ripped through the zombie's temporal bone, penetrated the meninges that wrapped around the brain, and entered the temporal lobe of its brain, splashing some red and white liquid on the blade. Chen Tao only felt that his tiger's mouth was violently shocked, this skull was much harder than he imagined, he thought that he could cut off half of its head at once, but he didn't expect to cut it in just a little.
Thankfully, the blow destroyed its brain, and the zombie's howl came to an abrupt halt, and it collapsed to the ground in a deflated state, its blood-splattered glasses falling to the side. It may have been too strong, the blade was stuck on the zombie's head, and Chen Tao wasted a lot of strength to pull it out, and at this time the second zombie had already pounced.
Chen Tao cut it without thinking about it, this time he didn't use the horizontal slashing method, but split it vertically, so that it could be better to exert force. The bone chopping knife is worthy of being a bone chopping knife, Chen Tao's knife went down, and the front end of the blade did not enter the zombie's forehead bone, Chen Tao moved the blade left and right, and then pulled out the bone chopping knife.
The first time he killed a zombie, Chen Tao didn't feel anything in his heart, even though the other party was his classmate before. It's probably like seeing a person being knocked off the street, and at most you will be frightened by the bloody scene, after all, it is a stranger, and whether you are dead or alive has much to do with yourself.
After the corpse fell, the remaining four zombies had not yet come over, and Chen Tao was able to rest. He took a few breaths, then continued to walk towards the zombie, swinging his knife at the female zombie who walked in front.
This guy ...... It's pretty good.
Ye Yuyao looked at Chen Tao who was killing in all directions, and couldn't help but be a little envious of him, Chen Tao looked very chic at this time, the muscles on his arms when he wielded the knife, the hair that shook with his body, and the straight back, which gave people an incomparable sense of security at a glance.
She suddenly missed her old body......
Perhaps, as he said, he could do it on his own.
Ye Yuyao thought so.
In fact, the real situation is not as good as Ye Yuyao imagined.
Chen Tao felt that he was really about to be unable to deal with it, the skull was one of the hardest bones in human beings, and he had to use all his strength every time to cut the skulls of these zombies, and sometimes one knife was not enough, and he needed to make up for it. In order not to be surrounded by these zombies, he needs to stagger the distance from them after killing each one. Coupled with the fact that he hadn't eaten for nearly a day, his physical strength was getting worse and worse, and he now regretted very much that he had nothing to do.
But fortunately, these zombies are coming from the front, if they come from all directions, it is strange that he can deal with the ground.
Only the last one remains.
The last remaining zombies howled, it was not frightened by the fall of its companions one by one, and still approached Chen Tao, which was also a reason why they were terrifying.
Call...... Next time, don't do it again.
Chen Tao lifted the knife and used the last strength of his body to slash at the zombie's head. He thought that it would finally be over, and maybe he would be appreciated by Ye Yuyao later, but the change always came so suddenly.
I don't know if it's because this zombie sensed the danger, or because it was just a coincidence, its shaking head actually cleverly avoided the blade that Chen Tao chopped down and slashed on his shoulder, Chen Tao didn't react, and the next moment it was pushed to the ground by the zombie.
"! "
Chen Tao rarely burst into a foul mouth, he hurriedly pressed against the zombie's chin, the zombie's yellow teeth almost bit his finger, and what was even more terrifying was that he felt a dry thing touch his stomach, which was probably the zombie's finger. His heart was cold, and he pulled out the bone chopping knife like crazy, but the blade was stuck in the zombie's damn broken bones and couldn't pull it out for a while, and streams of pus and blood gushed out from the zombie's shoulders and poured on Chen Tao's clothes, and after a while, the collar was wet, but he didn't have time to pay attention to these at all.
Chen Tao could feel that the zombie's nails were constantly digging into his clothes, and he also knew that it wouldn't be long before his stomach would be dug open by this zombie, just like many corpses eaten by zombies. He was scared, the first time he was so scared, he wanted to pull out the bone chopping knife as soon as possible and break the zombie into pieces, but the bones of the zombie seemed to be struggling with him, and he was stuck in the blade of the bone chopping knife, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out.
"Whew, whew, whew! "
The zombie's roar was so piercing, and at this time, its head was already getting closer and closer to Chen Tao, maybe before it could dig open Chen Tao's stomach, it would have bitten off a large piece of meat on his neck.
Suddenly, the zombie's roar stopped abruptly, the whole body stiffened, the expression continued to be the same as before, but there was no change, the mouth was open, and everything looked like the pause button was pressed while the video was playing.
Then, a dark red liquid flowed down from the top of its head, and Chen Tao looked up, a sharp knife was stuck on top of its head, and the person holding the knife was Ye Yuyao.
After killing this zombie, Ye Yuyao immediately pulled out the knife, and the process was surprisingly smooth, this knife was much sharper than she imagined. At this time, the zombie's body became soft, Chen Tao pushed its corpse away from his body, and then wasted a lot of effort to let the bone chopping knife leave the crack of the zombie's collarbone.
"You...... You okay? "
"Well," Chen Tao stood up and pulled the clothes attached to his body, "but this thing probably can't be washed off." "
"…… "
Ye Yuyao was a little speechless, his life was almost gone, what did he care about?
But...... It's okay.
She was relieved in her heart, she didn't want to die like this with a similar kind that she had finally encountered, in this environment, loneliness was the most terrible enemy, and most importantly, if Chen Tao died, she might have to be trapped here forever.
Seeing that she cared so much about herself, Chen Tao couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and at the same time had a question in her heart.
She has such a good impression of me, will she ...... Will you like me?
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Tao felt that his heart was pounded, and then the speed of his heartbeat began to increase. He knew that he shouldn't think about it in this environment, his parents, friends, and relatives were uncertain, but he couldn't stop these thoughts.
"Let's hurry up, it feels like it's getting dark. "
"Ahh Belch...... Belch...... Okay"
Chen Tao was pulled back to his senses by Ye Yuyao's voice, because his thoughts seemed a little embarrassed.
"And ...... "
As soon as Chen Tao wanted to leave, he heard Ye Yuyao's voice, he turned around and looked at Ye Yuyao a little strangely.
"It's better not to be alone in the future, in this situation, recklessness will only kill you. "
Indeed, if she hadn't come up so decisively to kill that zombie just now, she would probably have been bitten. Chen Tao thought so.
"Hmm...... "
Chen Tao nodded, and after Ye Yuyao knew that he understood, he turned around and continued to walk forward.
Chen Tao looked at Ye Yuyao's back, and suddenly felt that this petite figure might not need his protection, but as a partner, a partner who could entrust his safety to the other party.
Well?
Chen Tao felt something strange, but he didn't know why, and then he seemed to feel something and looked at his right hand.
Damn it......
He only noticed now that after killing the zombie, his right hand had been shaking.
