Out of nowhere, a dog barked.

I slowly moved my face away from the cold hose and trembled as I reached for the flashlight in my trouser pocket. I don't know how long it took, my hands were still shaking, and I didn't push the flashlight switch a few times, and finally I finally pushed it away.

I shone a flashlight on everyone in turn, Xiao Lin's head was still buried in the water pipe, and her shoulders trembled slightly; Lu Feng's face also looked pale, and the corners of his eyes were full of exhaustion; The worst thing was Guan Fei, whose tired body was lying on the water pipe like a pile of mud, and his mouth was still panting.

I shone the flashlight at the bottom again, it was okay if it didn't shine, and the zombies who had just fallen down all stood in the circle of light and looked up, with a dry roar in their throats.

Xiao Lin's condition was not very good, so I switched places with her and I took the lead. Soon we were in front of the lattice of the bathroom on the second floor. From a distance, the black window looks like a deep esophagus, as if you will slide into a bottomless black hole as soon as you step on it.

I carefully shone my flashlight again and again, at least near the window. I tiptoed on the windowsill and jumped into the bathroom. It was pitch black except for the flashlight, and the sound of liquid dripping could be heard from nowhere, but it didn't sound like the sound of water droplets.

I turned to greet Xiao Lin, took out a flashlight and waved it upward, and a pair of white thighs stretched down, followed by the infinite spring light in the skirt. Xiao Lin pressed the skirt with her hand and said angrily, "Senior! ”

I obediently turned off my flashlight and reached for her. Then, Lu Feng and Guan Fei also entered in turn.

A strong wind blew outside the window, and the trees made a wave-like sound that sounded especially terrifying in the dark. Xiao Lin wrapped her arms around me and let out a soft gasp sound. We walked quietly forward like cats, trying not to make a sound.

I kept my eyes on the flashlight, the bathroom door wide open, swaying gently from time to time in the wind. Seeing that the aperture of the flashlight cast on the wall was gradually shrinking, we walked out of the bathroom and were about to turn to the right, when suddenly the light of the flashlight went out.

Damn it!

The sudden darkness made me see countless afterimages of lights.

I flapped the flashlight vigorously, and after a while, the light suddenly came back on with a "pop". When I looked to the side, a few rotten grimaces slammed into the retina, scaring people's souls!

Xiao Lin couldn't hold back her scream, and I hurriedly went to cover her mouth. The ghosts who were squatting on the ground and eating corpses also stood up. It took a long time for us to remember that we had a weapon in our hands, so we poked Xiao Lin and Guan Fei to solve the deceased in front of us.

Lu Feng also turned on his flashlight and whispered, "Look what they were eating just now?" ”

His words reminded me that so many days have passed since the outbreak began, and all the corpses have been divided, what else can they eat?

Lying on the ground were three disemboweled, bright red blood flowing down the intestines all over the ground, and it seemed that they had not been dead for too long.

Lu Feng saw the corpse's face clearly through the light, and said, "This is the survivor from the cafeteria, Zhao Yinxiang really sent someone over." ”

We stood up and walked forward. To get from the restroom to the storm corridor, you need to go through a long classroom hallway, and then open a window at the end of the corridor to jump up to the ceiling. There was a student who jumped up for fun, but it was given a big demerit, and no one did it since.

Lu Feng and I carefully checked the surroundings with a flashlight, and sure enough, as Lu Feng expected, most of the deceased were attracted by the commotion on the roof just now, and poured up one by one, so although there was danger at the beginning, the next one was much safer.

We still walked cautiously forward, and as we passed through the familiar hallways, I remembered once again the laughter that had come from here before. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. The corridor that used to be full of people has changed so abruptly that it is like a dream.

At the end of the hallway, all you need to do is open one more window to cross the canopy that leads to the canteen. The canopy is made of green plastic sheets, supported by a skeleton at the center and edges, extending out in a semi-cylindrical shape, like a long, curved umbrella.

I had just opened the window and was about to jump on it, when Xiao Lin behind me suddenly let out a scream. As she passed by one of the classrooms, a deceased man burst out and she fell to the ground in fright. My heart sank, and I hurried over to pull her up.

The dead approached us slowly in the dark, making strange noises in their throats. Lu Feng raised his flashlight to it, and I clenched the weapon in my hand, ready to stab it in the head. Unexpectedly, the "Slowwalker" who appeared in the halo looked extremely terrifying, its throat was swollen with a large sarcoma, and the sarcoma hung straight down on its chest, like a bunch of giant grapes.

We were all so stunned by the form of the dead man in front of us that we forgot to attack for a moment. At this moment, the "sarcoma" in its throat vibrate, and a louder and sharper sound began to come from its throat, and then, I heard countless footsteps coming from above, and the whole school building seemed to be in a commotion.

"Flee to the roof of the shed!" Lu Feng called out. The ominous premonition suddenly filled my body, and I immediately pushed Xiao Lin onto the windowsill, which was still about two meters high from the roof of the shed, and Xiao Lin jumped down bravely.

A dense black shadow suddenly burst out of the corner of the staircase, and we were all shocked. Lu Feng and I jumped onto the roof of the shed almost at the same time, and as Guan Fei jumped down, I heard the windows in the hallway thump.

"Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh......" a hurried and crude roar came like a tidal wave, and soon the windows were crowded with the dead, and several swift walkers were panting and looking left and right, as if looking for prey.

That sarcoma zombie just now...... Isn't it a voice informing other people of the same kind? What the hell is that? Could it be that the virus has mutated? Or is there a different virus in the first place? Or is it just another force that is causing it to be like this?

The night breeze was so cool that I felt a chill in my back. What exactly is the nature of zombies? I couldn't help but think of the bizarre and sensational zombie experiments that Lu Feng did in the dining hall.

He told me that in addition to finding the dead who were agile (swift walkers) and slow ones (slow walkers) in the corpses, he also found the three senses of zombies.

"Three senses?"

"That's right, I wonder how they perceive humans." Lu Feng said.

First, he had one of the utility rooms in the cafeteria cleared, and then trapped the three captured zombies in this room one after another. The eyes and nose of one of the heads were completely destroyed, and only a fleshy head was left sunken inward; On the other hand, the eyes and ears were completely stripped away, leaving only the nose function; In the third head, the nose and ears have been removed, leaving only the eyes.

Among the three zombies, the one with the sense of hearing is the most responsive, and can react quickly to any wind and grass, which is why zombies are always dangling unconsciously, which is a reaction to the sounds around them. On the other hand, the zombie with a sense of smell is not as sensitive as the auditory one, and needs to be very close to respond.

After doing these two experiments, they both thought that the last zombie would become more ferocious, so they all hid away. But unexpectedly, the last zombie with only vision did not move at all, only the eyeballs were aimlessly swaying from side to side.

Lu Feng said: "So we concluded that zombies have no eyesight, but we were wrong and paid the price. ”

He said that when the two bold boys observed the zombie up close, they found that the zombie's pupils suddenly dilated, and as a result, both of their necks were instantly bitten by the zombie.

"Speedwalker ......," I said dumbfounded.

"That's right! It is true that the eyesight of the slowwalker is very weak, but under certain conditions, the slowwalker will suddenly transform into something like a 'speedwalker'. Lu Feng said, but this process of transformation has never appeared again through repeated experiments.

"By the way, I also did such an experiment by the way," his eyes suddenly became interested, "I have always wondered if the so-called zombies are alive or dead?" You know, in these last days, many people are used to judging the current situation based on the movies or novels they have seen before, but I always believe that experimentation is the only way to penetrate the truth. ”

Lu Feng said that in the final experiment, he destroyed all three senses of a zombie, and as a result, the zombie could no longer make any moves.

"Do you know what that means?"

I shook my head.

"That means the zombies are dead."

"Isn't that nonsense?" I wondered.

"You don't understand what I mean, zombies don't move autonomously, and all of their activities depend on sensory input."

I suddenly understood the meaning behind this sentence, and I couldn't help but feel excited.

"That is, the claims of infection by viruses described in those movie novels are not correct, because viruses only infect living organisms." Lu Feng paused, and then said, "Or to put it simply, the enemy we are facing may not be zombies!" ”

"What's that?"

"God knows ......"

Every time I think of what Lu Feng said, I feel a burst of hair in my heart.
