57. Chapter 57
On July 4th, some universities have already closed for the holidays, and even if they are not completely closed, according to the final exam arrangements of the universities, some students must have left after the exams. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is not so much my analysis as my hope, or a kind of self-psychological suggestion. I hope that the school has been closed before the cataclysm, so that we will encounter fewer zombies. It's better to be like when I went to college more than a decade ago, when the school was empty for the holidays, and we could still use the empty school as a refuge.
The road we were currently walking led all the way to the back door of the City University, which I remember near the student residence halls, and behind it was a "Fallen Street" that every university has. But we can't walk through the "Fallen Street", which has become a relatively busy street, regardless of whether the school is closed or not.
There are restaurants of all tastes, although the qualifications of these restaurants are questionable; There are all kinds of entertainment venues there, when we were in college, we would mainly have billiard rooms, Internet cafes, video stores, and now there are countless mahjong parlors, bars, coffee bars, KTVs and even foot-washing cities; There are all kinds of self-built residential houses or old-fashioned residential communities, converted into various small hotels and rental houses, for young couples who are still in college to enjoy the treatment of married people...... Even on holidays, there are still people coming and going, and the telephone poles there are always plastered with all kinds of small advertisements, from tutoring, ordering food, unclogging sewer pipes to painless human flow.
In the distance, I have seen such a back street, and perhaps my speculation is correct - the school is already closed, so even if the back street is still lively, after all, it is not as busy as when the students were in school. Therefore, the zombies on the street also seem to be a little sparse, of course, this sparse Lala is also relative, and there are hundreds of them on the entire street at the preliminary eyesight, which is not what we can face. Definitely not.
It was early morning on July 10th, and I was still a block away from my alma mater.
The rain is still falling, but it has changed from heavy rain in the early morning to an early morning drizzle, which also means that the rainy season is starting to arrive in the city. In this city, it is normal for such a drizzle to rain for a week, and when it rains, in addition to giving people an unusually sad tone to the senses, there are also some side effects, such as cold, and for example, more physical exertion.
I can't go straight through the back street, but in my memory, I still found a path on the periphery of the back street, the winding path was not a road, but a separation belt used to separate the back street and the campus, on the other side of the separation belt there are many old houses, and many of them are villas, these houses were so abandoned on the side of the road when I was in college more than ten years ago, and the windows of those villas were even overgrown with wild grass. I didn't expect this place to be so barren now. It's a pity that those villas don't have doors and windows, otherwise we wouldn't have to touch the campus, so it's good to pick one and hide for a while.
But people can't be too greedy after all, and I should be thankful that there are almost no zombies along this deserted path. And this road is too wild, three-wheeled bicycles can't ride, there is no way, we have to walk. Fortunately, when we rode over this section of the road, it had saved us a lot of effort, and now it is Zhao Mo, who can slowly follow us without our support and will not fall behind.
I was content.
I don't know if my findings are universal, which is that in the rain, zombies move a little more quickly and ferociously.
It's been twice, in the face of sporadic and single zombies on this path, I should have solved it easily, and even Lin Lu should be able to solve it, and after all, I still have the military machete full of gaps, Lin Lu also has her American-style M9 military thorn left in her hand, a single zombie is now easy for us to solve, but in the rain, the zombies are faster and more explosive, and the rain is like a lubricant for their stiff bodies, making it more difficult for us to dodge, Even if Lin Lu and I work together, it is very dangerous to kill a single zombie every time.
That time, I almost got my arm scratched by a zombie.
When encountering more than three zombies, then you can only continue to run, and you don't dare to rush up against dozens of zombies like a few people did in the supermarket yesterday. Was that what happened yesterday? In a trance, I felt that it was simply a lifetime thing! The so-called one day, as if it were another world, refers to the current state of mind, right?!
After walking the path, what appeared in front of us was a wall that also looked a little deserted, the roots of the wall were covered with wild grass, and what surprised me even more was that more than ten years ago, when I and my fox friends and friends in the dormitory skipped class and came out of class to cover the night, they took a shortcut and climbed over the wall to go back to school, and they are still there!
I really burst into tears, time seemed to have stopped here, if it weren't for this damn virus, what a touching nostalgic trip it would have been when I climbed over this wall again? I wish I could climb over this wall and go back in time like Charlotte, back to my school days. Although even if I go back in time, I will not be able to prevent such a catastrophe from erupting, if this is really a worldwide catastrophe...... But even if I can't stop the disaster, at least I can choose to leave the city earlier and take my family to the mountains and forests......
Climbing over the wall, Lin Lu looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Uncle, why are you so familiar with this place?" ”
I don't bother to pay attention to her, do I want to tell you that I have learned the Divine Palm? What makes me happy is that I found a good thing for Zhao Mo, a mop rod, which feels quite sturdy, which can be used as a cane for him or used to fight zombies. You can't kill it, but at least you can poke the zombies away.
Inside the fence is a forest, which is similar to what I remembered, that is, the trees are relatively large and tall, which is very suitable for those young couples who are in love. There is also a tree-lined avenue, and the road is covered with fallen leaves, as if no one has cleaned it for a long time. This is the best, the more remote the corner, the safer it is now. I know this boulevard leads to the dormitory, but if we can, it's best not to go to the dormitory, because if the school hasn't closed yet, or even if half of the students have already left, we're going headlong to the dormitory.
There may be few zombies in the teaching building, but there will be no food in the teaching building, and the protection of those classrooms is definitely not good, I clearly remember that the doors of many classrooms cannot be locked at all, and the tables and chairs in the classrooms are still fixed on the floor, and it is not possible to move them to block the door. The point is that the school building is not eaten.
But now, we must find a place to rest, replenish energy, and regain our strength, otherwise our physical condition will get worse and worse, until we are caught up by zombies, and we don't even have the strength to struggle.
No matter how few zombies are on the boulevard, we will eventually have to finish, and further on is the football field, and across the football field is the towering logistics group comprehensive service building. I beckoned, signaling Lin Lu and Zhao Mo to stop at the end of the boulevard, everyone squatted down or bent their waists, not daring to move, not far from us, there were a few zombies swaying.
In addition to increasing the danger of rainy days, the only benefit is that the rain washes away the smell of the human body, making it not so easy for zombies to find us.
"That's what we're aiming for." I pointed to the comprehensive service building and said, "There are plenty of supplies in that building, and if you can hide in it, as long as the safety facilities are in place, it will not be a problem to hold on for half a year and a year." "As for half a year and a year later? Well, that's not something I can think about right now.
The complex is large, and its cross-section is a wavy shape similar to that of a motion picture film if taken from above. It is a landmark building of the City University, with a total of 17 floors above and below ground, which is more magnificent than the teaching building, more magnificent than the dormitory building, with a canteen, a supermarket, a bathroom, an auditorium, a cinema, an academic exchange center, a conference room, a gymnasium, and of course, many offices. The building was still under construction before I graduated, and I only repaired it after I graduated, and then I came back to see it, and once I rented a conference room in it and did a project.
That's why I wanted to take the risk of storming the building, and if I could get in alive and find a safe room to hide, I would have a chance to borrow the resources of the complex to survive. Regardless of whether the school was completely closed at the time of the disaster, it is always an opportunity to use the building much less frequently towards the end of the semester. I don't want to take the risk, but it's okay to pick up a car on the side of the road and run away, at least not yet. Maybe we can run into the underground parking lot below the building, but I won't steal the car without the keys.
Anyway, it's still the same sentence, people can't wait for death, no matter how risky they are, they always have to fight if they have the opportunity.
At this time, Lin Lu pricked up his ears and listened, and said very uncertainly: "But there seem to be a lot of zombies over there, and I seem to be able to hear their voices." ”
"What do you mean?" I said with a black line on my face: "If you can hear it, you can hear it, if you can't hear it, you can't hear it, what do you mean!" "I used to have good eyesight, but in the past few days after the catastrophe, I found that my eyesight is better than before, maybe because I don't have to stare at the computer, I don't have to stare at the phone. However, it would be a little strange if Lin Lu could hear a lot of zombies in the distance.
"My hearing has always been good!" Being glared at by me, Lin Lu glared back at me, and then she looked up at the building behind the football field with some confusion, listened carefully with her ears sideways, and said very firmly: "Really, my ears are very good, if I am not mistaken, there must be at least hundreds of zombies wandering around under that building." ”
A few hundred, that's desperate.
However, you have to give it a try.
We rushed over from the direction close to the football field, facing the No. 4 gate on the side of the complex, and climbed up to the stands of the football field, it turned out that Lin Lu's hearing was really good, near the complex, there were indeed hundreds of zombies wandering, but they were not completely concentrated in one place, but scattered around the different entrances and exits of the building, so that if you calculate, there are dozens of hundreds near each entrance.
"Listen, I have an idea." I lay on the stands of the football stadium and watched the zombies around the complex from a distance, we were still about 50 meters away from Gate 4 of the complex, and in the misty drizzle, the zombies did not notice us for a while. I said, "You say, if someone runs over, how will the zombies react?" ”
