Volume 1: The Age of Rebirth Chapter 24: Surrounding Malice
The girl stiffened, nodded, and did not respond.
Captain Ma instructed the people who accompanied him: "Xiao Zhou, you help this classmate move these foods to the school hall for registration, this is this classmate's contribution points, and they must be clearly registered for this classmate." ”
Then he led the rest of the group to continue the search for the surviving teachers and students at the school.
Chen Xi felt a little relieved at this time, it turned out that there were still some contribution points, so it was better than nothing.
Only then did she and Xiao Zhou carry one of the few boxes of three and a half boxes of instant noodles and small snacks such as biscuits and potato chips.
It's just that when she went downstairs, she seemed to feel Xiao Zhou's blazing gaze behind her, which deepened her uneasiness.
The auditorium is already crowded with people, and the entire college of Shushan University, even during the summer vacation, usually has tens of thousands of permanent teachers, students and surrounding staff.
And at this moment, there are less than a thousand people at a glance.
At the podium in the auditorium, there were several people, all of whom were high-ranking figures in the school on weekdays, but today they were all sitting next to a middle-aged man with a resolute face and a tactical uniform.
When Chen Xi and Xiao Zhou entered the auditorium, they caused quite a stir.
Because of the food they were carrying, the hungry and dizzy crowd almost robbed it, but fortunately, the weapons in the hands of the stability maintenance personnel that Director Qin had arranged first played a deterrent role and did not let the scene get out of control.
Before that, Director Qin had distributed some food. But there are too many people, how many can be in each person's hands on average?
What's more, intentionally or unintentionally, Director Qin didn't bring too much food with him when he came out.
As the director of security for many years, he naturally understands a superficial truth - Shengmi enmities and hatreds.
Let them eat half full, and they will appreciate you.
Let them eat too much, and they will begin to point fingers.
As for what to do tomorrow, isn't there food everywhere in this land now?
Although the zombies are transformed by people, they don't look like they can be eaten, but all kinds of fierce beasts and sea beasts, but there are real people who have eaten them, I heard that the taste is not bad, and those who have eaten them say that they are extremely warm and very hungry.
The occurrence of casualties and infections in the process of rounding up zombies and beasts is an inevitable and necessary psychological exercise.
Those who can survive are qualified warriors.
In this way, Chen Xi walked to a registration desk in the eyes of everyone.
She happened to know the teacher in charge of registration, a teacher in their department, named Xiao Lihong, a mature and intellectual beauty teacher who is only 32 years old this year. It is also very famous in the department.
Like everyone else, she had lost her former brilliance, her thin cheeks were dull and dull, and her lips were dull and black without lip gloss.
"Chen Xi, you still have so much food and water, it's amazing. You'll be thanked. ”
Teacher Xiao smiled mildly and praised it.
And Chen Xi is not used to makeup on weekdays, but at the moment he is just as plain, but his complexion is warm.
Not only is the skin smooth, but the lips are pink that makes you jealous, and it looks very healthy. Like them, they are all yellow-faced and thin-skinned, like exiles.
Everyone knew at a glance how stable she had lived in the past ten days.
So gradually, there was more talk about her in the field.
"How did she gather so much food without knowing the prophet? Could it be that someone gave her a signal in advance? ”
"It's impossible, if anyone can really know in advance that the end of the world is coming, why do they still stay in school?"
"Who knows, maybe she doesn't have the ability to go out, but she has the ability to change a piece of information?"
"What is she capable of?"
"It's also a kind of ability to look good and let go...
"Really, I've invited her to class gatherings many times before, and I don't say a word about this kind of news, and it doesn't cost me to send a WeChat."
"Why is she like this, just prepared it herself, I begged around for food a few days ago, and she was inside when she passed by the door of her dormitory, so ruthless."
------
Chen Xi was at the registration office, and vaguely heard some unscrupulous discussions, one after another.
Her heart slowly sank.
She soon realized that it might not be a good thing for her to come to register this time.
After Chen Xi finished registering, she silently found a vacant seat in a corner and sat down alone, she was more than one or two years younger than other classmates, and she didn't have many friends on weekdays. Sitting here alone at the moment, staring at hundreds of eyes, she felt a little panicked more and more.
The girl found that everyone did not thank her.
Those teenagers and girls who have had an extremely bad time these days, and even witnessed the death of their classmates and friends, have long been invaded by fear.
And when there is temporary security, fear can subtly brew into resentment.
hated himself for not being prepared and responded to at that time, hated the cruelty of God, and hated the sudden end times.
And, hating others is better than yourself.
Especially when they found a reason to blame Chen Xi after in-depth analysis, the grievances of many days turned into naked hatred.
Over there, Captain Ma brought back a dozen more people. However, these people also look yellow and thin, and they are in a sluggish state.
Captain Ma nodded towards Director Qin on the stage. Director Qin whispered a few words to a chubby middle-aged man beside him.
The middle-aged man is the vice president of Shushan University, he is friendly and elegant on weekdays, and the teachers and teachers at the school know him.
The vice principal stood up, held a megaphone, walked up to the podium in the auditorium, and said in a loud voice: "Teachers and students, please be quiet. ”
But the crowd below was obviously in a turbulent mood, and they didn't take the words of the plain and kind headmaster seriously, and the bottom was still chattering.
The vice principal's face was a little embarrassed, he raised his eyebrows, and continued to say in a loud voice, "Please look up at the ceiling." ”
This time there was indeed silence at the bottom, and everyone looked at the ceiling with some confusion.
When everyone's attention is isolated from the unknown, they are subconsciously silent.
But there is only darkness above, in order to highlight the grandeur of the auditorium, the ceiling is ten meters high, which is more than three floors high on the ordinary floor, and there are only a few camping lights in the auditorium at present, and it is basically impossible to see what the ceiling looks like.
The vice principal saw that the bottom finally quieted down, and shouted passionately by relying on his anxious wit: "The darkness you see, what I see is the forbidden and the blockade. If you hide in school like this, sooner or later, you will starve to death or be eaten by zombies, just like other teachers and classmates who are unfortunately killed. ”
"But ~~~~" The vice principal's but lengthened the end note, not giving everyone a chance to think. shouted: "The people from the security department have arrived, and they have not only brought you food, but also decided to start a temporary recruitment team. Everyone will have weapons to fight the zombies outside the door. ”
"But we don't want to go out! What are you going out for, are you going to die? Everyone looked away from the source of the voice, and there were seven or eight boys standing in one place, and one of the boys at the head said loudly.
