After breakfast, around seven o'clock, Tomie and I decided to revisit the building and courtyard. There was a mess on the lawn before last night, but now there is nothing left. It was the first time that the unidentified creatures had come to this place and swept away the scraps. Thinking of the abrupt sound of metal, I wanted to find out where they came from and how their presence had changed the area.

The zombies outside the iron gate are still crowded, and they haven't dispersed since they were attracted by the sound of battle last night, but they are much more peaceful, just wandering around like confused mourning dogs.

Because of their existence, Tomie's escape plan and I are completely bankrupt, and even if I climb over the wall now, I will definitely be drowned in a sea of corpses.

If you can find the place where the unidentified creatures entered, you might be able to find new clues. Because the courtyard is open, there is nothing hidden at a glance, so we all ignored it yesterday, and now it seems that we must seriously investigate.

"How's your body?" I asked as I picked up the trash.

It's not good to clean up, but I'm a little bit clean. Put the garbage in a plastic bag and put it in the corner of the wall, and walk to Tomie, who is removing the heavy object blocking the doorway, and help.

"Good." She shrugged, stood up and shook her arms, "I don't feel any pain, it seems to be better than before." But the painful experience is really fresh in people's minds. ”

"Scorched?"

"No, it's shedding a layer of skin, and it's all hair out." Tomie looked at me seriously and said, "It's like a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy, and I don't even have clothes." ”

"It's not that bad. You are much healthier and more beautiful than the patient, and you ...... Good underwear. ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

"I'm just telling the truth."

It's hard to imagine that such words came out of my mouth, Tomie and I have only known each other for one night, and now we are like close friends in my boudoir. Not quite like my style, probably because of hormones and adrenaline. It's not annoying, though.

That's right, I don't hate Tomie.

"Take the lesson in mind, not always there is a lifesaver."

"Of course." She moved a chair away and suddenly said, "You really don't want to touch it?" ”

I couldn't help but look at her chest, the shocking size and shape were undoubtedly full of alluring charm. She waited for my answer with her left hand on her waist, and her expression looked very serious, but it made people wonder how to answer.

Hesitated.

"Not now...... Can I take credit? So he replied.

I awkwardly faked coughing.

Tomie laughed.

After moving the barriers, I couldn't help but sigh that I was able to pile them up in a short period of time last night, and the potential of people under danger should not be underestimated.

I handed the axe to Tomie, and took the quiver on my back, but there were not many arrows left, and I was defenseless when I finished shooting. During the day, though, be careful and you shouldn't get into any big trouble. Tomie stared at the axe several times.

"Is this axe really a fire axe?"

"Of course, I took it out of the firefighting supply cabinet, is there anything wrong?"

"It's just ......" Tomie shook his head suspiciously: "It seems to be a little bigger, and it's too easy to cut people." ”

"Are you kidding?" I couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Ah Chuan, look at my current information."

As she wished.

Name: Tomie

Age: Twenty-three years old

Occupation: Graduate student

Weapons: Fire Axe

Rating: D+

"Anyone can use this weapon." She muttered to herself. It seems that he is still haunted by the fact that he did not get the diamond mark.

"Come on, there are as many questions as a mountain, come one by one." I took the lead and walked out of the room: "Let's go through all the rooms in the building first." ”

Tomie quickly followed.

This investigation went much smoother than yesterday. No enemies, no surprises. The hallways, stairs, and rooms have not changed, except that there are no zombie corpses and severed limbs, only mottled bloodstains proving that they once existed. When you enter the large room on the fourth floor, which is used as a "dining room" by the ghost dog, you can't help but look at the imprints on the floor and walls.

The stench and flies had not gone away, and there was a disgusting smell, but the bones and pieces of flesh were also missing.

"It's a bug that eats corpses." Tomie asserted, his voice muffled.

Like me, she covered her nose with one hand.

"I hope they don't eat the flesh of a living person."

Tomie looked around the trail for a while.

"Didn't see the vomit, did you clean it up?"

"Vomit?" I asked, confused.

"Of course, ordinary people who see that situation for the first time will vomit." Tomie looked at me, "I didn't seem to see it when I came in yesterday. ”

"I didn't vomit."

In the face of my statement, Tomie only asked:

"Are you really just an average honor student?"

Of course.

"I'm more receptive."

"No, you're mentally and physically."

So I glared at her fiercely, and she didn't see it.

Tomie and I didn't find anything useful and suspicious, and the monsters that had eaten up the corpses didn't even leave a trace of movement. Maybe it stayed, but it couldn't be detected without special instruments. We talked as we walked out of the building and into the courtyard.

The courtyard was full of sunlight and vibrant plants, but just like the one seen from the upper floor, the meat had been eaten up except for the ruined scene, not even insects and birds. Deathly silence.

Tomie and I stopped by the pool and looked around boredly, even the zombies outside the iron gate paid no attention to us. We are like innocent tourists who have been washed up on a desert island by the waves of the sea.

It's not that it's impossible to survive, but there is a kind of doubt and helplessness brought about by wandering.

Gathering our mood, we continued to search towards the edge of the wall. As he passed by the swing, Tomie swung for a while, as if he had regained the joy of his childhood. The place where the tree was electrocuted was badly damaged, but it did not shake its foundations. Continuing to walk back, you will pass the nostalgic stone table tennis table, seesaw, sandpit, single and parallel bars, and the elephant slide with two iron pipes as a slide.

It's all for kids. One has to wonder if this is a kindergarten.

"Maybe it's a welfare home." Tomie guessed.

"Flip through the documents in the office to see if it's wrong."

I said that, but I didn't have the motivation to look at it. Who cares what kind of place it is.

After a long circle, the dirt became wet as we entered the back of the building, and became more muddy as we went deeper. Tomie also noticed, as her sneakers were stained with many spots from the splashed muddy water. She crouched down and worked with me to find the direction of the current. It didn't take long to find the leak.

It was a stone-built entrance that looked like an old bomb shelter that hadn't been used in years and was covered in moss. The rusty iron door fell to the ground, and next to it was a hose that was connected to the faucet, dripping water.

From the outside, you can only see a section of stairs at the entrance, and the deeper part is shrouded in darkness and blur, and even the sun can't care for it, exuding a damp cool air.

I don't know where it leads, but that's where the monsters tentatively named "Ghoul Worms" came from.

Tomie exhaled, looked at me and turned back to the stronghold.

We decided to find out, but we had to be prepared.
