64. Chapter 64
How did the disaster happen? Why did it erupt? What's next? None of us know, maybe it doesn't matter anymore. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But I know that the life I know is ruined, if we have to live all the time, even if this catastrophe does not change our lives, but becomes our lives.
It's desperate.
But we still have to live.
At 1 a.m. on July 14th, after a thorough rest and preparation, I pried open the entrance to the Housekeeping Department of the Academic Exchange Center, which I had never closed. The door was locked from the inside, but the door was just a slightly thick wooden door, and I didn't have the lock-picking skills of Guan Zhen, but with a knife, I still solved the problem very yellow and violent. I have to say that my current equipment, the military machete with the curled blade is still there, and it can still play a great role. My army was stabbed off, but Lin Lu's one is still there, and now I have it in my hand.
I didn't let Zhao Mo participate in this operation, because I think that since he is recuperating from his injuries, he can play a greater role if he is well recuperated. Lin Lu asked her to stay and take care of Zhao Mo, she didn't have much combat power, and it was useless to participate in the operation. After experiencing the previous separation, Lin Lu's psychological tolerance for this separation was much better, and she seemed to feel that this time the action was much easier than the previous time when I went alone to lure the zombies.
I hope so.
In fact, I don't know what the relationship between me and Lin Lu is now, we have experienced so many lives and deaths together, it is impossible to say that there is no feeling, but whether this kind of relationship is the kind of relationship between men and women, I can't tell. I'm not so narcissistic that she will fall in love with me, it seems that I can't talk about love for her, maybe we just embrace the warm relationship in the midst of disaster. If everything goes back to normal, I think we'll be separated.
Of course, I don't think about these useless things now, and our top priority is to survive.
In fact, since the outbreak of the disaster, I feel that every decision I make is a risk, and every time I take a risk, I almost kill myself, but I still choose to take a risk instead of sitting still, in fact, it is not my choice, but I have no choice.
At 1 a.m., the world was quiet, very quiet.
The lights in the hallway were still on, as if nothing had happened.
It's the height of summer in July, but the rainy city gets cooler, and if it weren't for this disaster, it's a good day to sleep on. But we were walking cautiously, and there was a strong stench in the air, which permeated the entire corridor, stabbing people's noses with hard pain, and pervasive, as if covering their noses, and penetrating directly into the skin. Although I have been used to this smell for the past few days, I am not used to it, so I will not feel stinky.
We didn't want to attract the attention of other people, especially the people on the other side of the restaurant, and we didn't want to make others nervous, and even except for me and Lin Zhuoran, no one knew where we were going and what we were going to do, and even Zhao Jialin, who was involved, didn't know.
There were no lights in the corridor, and Lin Zhuoran told me that the building was only powered off yesterday, and not only this building, but the entire campus seemed to be out of power, and a little farther away, maybe the entire Lingxiu District was out of power, maybe the whole city was also out of power.
In fact, this complex also has its own backup power supply, but it does not seem to be automatically activated like the supermarket in the neighborhood of Century Home. During the day it was fine, but at night, the whole building was pitch black. Before we arrived, Lin Zhuoran and the others used the collected candles for lighting at night, because there were very few, so they basically didn't use them after dark, they all gathered together to rest and save energy. It's not safe, but there's no other way.
At this time, I have a flashlight, which is very valuable. Everything Lin Lu and I found in that military store was a treasure, but unfortunately we couldn't move the entire store at that time.
Maybe because the night is too quiet, my hearing is also exceptionally good, suddenly I felt that I stepped on something, and then I heard a "click" sound, in fact, I didn't have to look down I realized what I was stepping on, but when I looked down and saw that I was stepping on a skeleton that had been eaten up, and the sound just now was because I stepped on a bone on the skeleton, I still couldn't help but feel a tingling scalp, and covered my mouth to stop my swearing.
Damn! Is this still walking in a school hotel? How it feels like walking in a graveyard in the wilderness of the dead!
After entering the door, what appeared in front of us was a herringbone corridor, no matter which side we looked at, the corridor could see the skeleton that had been eaten clean, and the blood stains that had dried up and blackened on the walls of the corridor were also particularly shocking, and there were pools of blood condensed on the ground.
Zhao Jialin and I walked in front, and our weapons ...... Or it's not called a weapon, it's a trolley pushed by the hotel waiter when cleaning, and the trolley is loaded with a huge metal box, which is usually used by the hotel waiter to load garbage and change bed sheets. At this time, we tried to load the metal box as heavy as possible, Zhao Jialin and I both had to bend down and push the ground hard to push the whole trolley up, in the corridor, the two trolleys pushed forward side by side, almost blocking the corridor, leaving only a gap that could squeeze about one person over.
My goal was clear: to rush to the door of the gym along the side of the herringbone corridor and rescue the people inside. I don't know how many zombies there will be, but the zombies in the hallway should all be concentrated outside the gym door, unless there are still living people elsewhere. But obviously, in addition to the corpses that have been gnawed clean, there is not a single zombie in the corridor of the housekeeping department, but some of the doors are open, and the inside is clear at a glance, so there is no need to go in.
There was a carpet in the corridor, so when Zhao Jialin and I pushed the cart inside, there was almost no sound, and we couldn't even hear our own footsteps, but it was so unusually quiet that we were a little nervous. There is a gap between the two trolleys, Lin Zhuoran follows behind this slit, once there are zombies in front, Zhao Jialin and I desperately resist the trolley so that the zombies can't pass, and Lin Zhuoran can resist and shoot with his crossbow arrows. At this time, crossbow arrows are better than guns, not only do they have no sound, but the arrows can be retracted.
I think this plan is very good, but if there are too many zombies...... That is, you can only turn the car sideways, turn around and run.
As we went deeper and deeper, the eerie silence was finally broken, and at the end of the not-so-long hallway, we finally heard a heavy, muddy roar, and turning the corner, we saw the crowd and a crowd of zombies hovering in front of the gym.
A small flock, about 10 of them. The zombies obviously found us, originally irritable and confused, and suddenly had a target, one of the largest, the whole head protruding forward as if the bones were misaligned, the trachea and blood vessels in the neck were all expanding and wriggling under the skin, and then the mouth suddenly cracked, as if tearing the whole face to reveal a mouth full of black mucus.
"Squat down and resist!" I saw that Zhao Jialin's legs were a little weak, and he roared angrily in a suppressed voice, in fact, I was also afraid, but because I was also afraid, I would never allow this guy to run before me, that would send me alone to the zombies. This big man's courage is not proportional to his figure, but I don't know how Lin Zhuoran did ideological work for him, at this time, although his hands and feet were trembling, he squatted straight with a white face, but he didn't run away. In fact, his physical fitness is stronger than mine, and he is more than ten years younger than me, and if he passes the courage level, his potential will naturally be greater than mine.
Seeing the zombies pounce on, Zhao Jialin and I lunge and squat, dead against the wheelbarrow, at this time my mind was a little blank, the muscles of the whole body were so stiff that my thinking seemed to stop, I don't know if it makes sense to do this, but now, I can only do this!
The tall zombie rushed over first, that is, a distance of more than ten meters, and it seemed to have stepped over in one or two steps. Zombies can jump, but not highly, but the biggest problem is not how high they can jump, but when there is a way in front of them, they will only move forward with a kind of inertia. The tall zombie didn't need to think about it, and just squeezed into the gap between the two carts. But it was too big, and the gap between the carts was too narrow, and it got stuck there all at once. Zhao Jialin and I only felt that the trolley was hit by a huge force, both of them were so shocked that they almost fell backwards, I was stuck to the trolley with my whole body, Zhao Jialin is arms were straight, and his legs were tense in lunges, so that he could not stand it.
The tall zombie was still squeezing forward regardless of it, and the two trolleys were about to be squeezed by it, at this time Lin Zhuoran let out a soft shout, holding the crossbow gun with both hands, and the crossbow arrow almost hit the zombie's head and pulled the trigger, I only heard a very slight "poof", the pressure on the trolley suddenly decreased, and the zombie's head was deeply nailed with crossbow arrows, and he fell down.
"It's a pity." I sighed and said, "If you do this, the arrows will be ironclad and deformed, even if they can be dug up, they will still be useful." ”
Lin Zhuoran took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and said with a wry smile: "Are you still in the mood to think about this?" ”
As I spoke, there was another crash from my trolley, and Lin Zhuoran raised his crossbow gun again.
And when I was talking to Lin Zhuoran, Zhao Jialin was obviously distracted, and the trolley in front of him suddenly hit him, with great force, knocking him to the ground in one fell swoop, and the trolley also rushed back two steps, staggering the distance from my trolley. When Zhao Jialin regained control of the trolley, he couldn't stand still, and several zombies crowded in front of his trolley, hitting the trolley's continuous hind legs. At this time, the distance between Zhao Jialin and the zombies was at most one meter, and the eyes of several zombies were staring at him, their mouths were wide open as if they were tearing their faces, and a piece of arm with black nails stretched out towards him like a snake.
It was only a little bit, Zhao Jialin's crotch was about to get wet, and he only felt that he was constantly being pushed back by the trolley, and he saw that the two trolleys were about to stagger the distance of one car, in that case, the zombies would swarm from between the two carts, and the college student who looked a little cowardly yelled in a hurry, and the tracheal vessels in his neck were abnormally thick under the skin, and his face was also red. But in this roar, his cart was finally steady.
At this moment, two zombies scrambled between the two carts, and they could easily squeeze over if there was only one, but the two were squeezed together, and Lin Zhuoran fired two crossbow arrows in a row, one of which missed and shot the third, and in the end it was still the solution to the zombies.
"Listen to me!" I pulled the car back two steps, shouted, and said to Zhao Jialin, "Let go...... Rush! ”
Zhao Jialin followed my password, first let go of his hand, the zombies in front of the trolley were wrestling with us, at this time the trolley suddenly loosened, they naturally pounced forward with inertia, when Zhao Jialin and I suddenly pushed forward suddenly, several zombies were unsteady, were rushed back a few steps, and two or three zombies were knocked down at once.
There are only two or three zombies left standing, and they are all slippery under their feet, their stiff joints can't turn around urgently, I shouted to go, let Lin Zhuoran come to resist my car, I rushed out from between the two trolleys myself, compared to the zombies, my movements are much more flexible, with a breath of blood, I wielded the military machete with the curly blade and stabbed directly into the zombie's eye socket.
Lin Zhuoran and Zhao Jialin also shouted at this time, and the trolley slammed forward, crashing into the zombies who had not yet gotten up. The sharp corner of Zhao Jialin's trolley hit the head of a zombie directly, directly against the wall, and squeezed the head. Lin Zhuoran, who had shot all the crossbow arrows, hit the waist of the zombie who had bent down and climbed up, knocking the zombie twice and then bounced back and rolled under the wheels. The trolley didn't have enough weight to crush the zombie directly, but the zombie was stuck there, and Zhao Jialin jumped out and stepped on the zombie's face with a heavy kick. His big head of 185, coupled with the power to jump in the air, stepped down and directly trampled the zombie's face.
Even though it had only been a few minutes, all three of us were already sweating profusely, as if we had played a full-court football game. Most of this sweat is forced out by nervousness, and if you accidentally get scratched by the zombie's teeth or nails, the consequences are really unimaginable.
