Volume I, Beginnings, Chapter 4. Purgatory on Earth
Blood, everywhere.
It's just that in the thick of the night, I couldn't see the deep and shallow ones on the ground at all, there were pools of blood one after another, only the thick bloody gas in the air, and the pitted bodies on the ground, reminding Tang Ling of what had just happened here.
The playground was full of people, but there was no one.
Tang Ling clenched the mobile phone in her hand, and walked towards the playground step by step.
If Tang Ling turned around, he could find that the exit he had just left was gone, replaced by dense bushes.
There were stump fragments everywhere, Tang Ling couldn't help but let herself look straight ahead, not paying attention to those hideous faces, the whole person trembled uncontrollably, a disgusting feeling surged up her body, straight to her throat, tears flowed down uncontrollably, she covered her mouth with her hands, and forced herself out of the playground.
couldn't control it, Tang Ling's legs were weak, leaning next to a trash can, and she couldn't stop retching.
Where to go? What to do?
Tang Ling knew that she couldn't stay where she was for too long, but now where should she go, as if no one could tell her, where should she flee?
Lorry......
Tang Ling thought about Luo Rui's anxious voice on the other end of the phone just now, she stabilized her mind, picked up a thicker branch on the ground, and walked towards cafeteria B.
The first thing to do is to find a weapon for self-defense.
Tang Ling had just stepped into the side door of the cafeteria kitchen when she suddenly noticed a few lines of sight in the dark.
Be cautious and vigilant.
All the kitchens in the entire building of the cafeteria are connected, but now the safe passage to the second floor is blocked, except for the door where Tang Ling entered, all other places are also blocked with tables and chairs.
It seems that they broke in before they could seal the door.
"Looks like a girl? Why don't we get out? ”
"What are you going out for! Who knows if she's ever been bitten by those monsters! ”
"But ......"
"If you want to discuss it, you might as well seal this door before discussing it." Tang Ling walked behind the group of people squatting in the corner and reminded softly.
A few people who were still talking quietly were startled when they heard this, and quickly stood up and looked at Tang Ling defensively.
It turned out that there were still living people.
Tang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and introduced to the group of people who were staring at him: "Level 24 student of software engineering in the School of Software, Tang Ling. I wasn't hurt by any monsters, and I don't believe you could have someone check it. ”
I haven't even seen those monsters yet.
Tang Ling thought to herself.
Seeing that Tang Ling's exposed skin and clothes on her body had no obvious injuries, the group breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately several people hurriedly blocked the last side door.
"Acting Department, Zhao Chunlu."
"Bioengineering, Chao Wang."
"Electronic Information Engineering, Zhang Xiaohua."
"Department of Finance, Gu Zhou."
"The few people blocking the door over there are bioengineers, Li Xiang, Du Yuan, Zhang Xuanzhi, and I are also from the same dormitory." Wang Chao introduced to Tang Ling.
Tang Ling nodded at them and turned her head to look at the kitchen utensils: "Are you the only ones here?" ”
"Yes." Gu Zhou pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "There are still many students on the second floor, but the door to the second floor is sealed by them, and we can't go up, so we have to stay here." ”
"What about the third floor?"
"Third Floor ......"
Several people fell silent for a while, which made Tang Ling a little uneasy, and she asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"There are a lot of monsters on the third floor, and there are scary." Gu Zhou thought about the previous scene, and there was still a panic on his face, "A few of us originally wanted to run to the private room on the third floor to hide, after all, it is safer inside than outside, we originally wanted to go up from the stairs outside the main entrance of the cafeteria, but before we went up, there were suddenly many monsters on the third floor, trying to bite those students who wanted to go up, all the doors on the second floor were blocked, and we had no choice but to go down to the first floor to hide." I think those monsters that suddenly appeared were because of those who had been injured by monsters. ”
"Is there anything unusual about those people?" Tang Ling asked.
"People who are injured by those monsters, at first they just bleed from the wounds, then their vital signs will get weaker and weaker, and finally they lose their breath, but the next second, they open their eyes again, but they are no longer human."
"What about the people who were killed directly by the monster?" Tang Ling remembered the bodies in the playground before.
"It won't be long before they become monsters, and besides, their missing limbs will slowly grow back."
"Regeneration?"
Tang Ling thought that she had just walked through the playground full of hidden monsters alone, and she was afraid and glad for a while.
What the hell is it?
"Can you tell me about the special nature of those monsters? Actually, I haven't met a monster yet. ”
Tang Ling looked at everyone's puzzled eyes, touched her nose, and said stupidly.
"I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky. Those monsters look like the zombies in the movie, but they attack very quickly and have super healing powers, I think even if you chop his body into pieces, it won't be long before it grows on its own, and I think they should have some independent thinking skills, they know how to kill humans in one blow. Zhao Chunlu told Tang Ling her insights.
"Isn't there any weakness?"
"There should be, but we don't know at the moment, after all, no one has the ability to fight that kind of monster for a long time, and if they see their companions trapped or killed, they will immediately come to their aid."
"It's really a friendly group...... Tang Ling sighed, and a sense of powerlessness swelled up in her heart, "Who invented this 'killing weapon'." Have you ever thought about calling the police? Now these are the circumstances. ”
"If you want to report it, it's useless, now it's not only our school, it's all these monsters everywhere, and the police can't control it at all. And now the mobile phone is almost unable to make calls, the latest news says that there is an imminent widespread power outage, it is impossible to say when the call will come, and it will not be long before the water and gas will be gone. ”
Gu Zhou's words made everyone fall silent for a moment.
"By the way, did you see these girls when you went upstairs?" Tang Ling took out her mobile phone and handed Zhao Chunlu a photo of herself with her roommate on her phone to show them.
"It doesn't seem to be, there are too many people, it was a mess at the time, and we don't know."
"Okay...... Thank you. Originally, she didn't have much hope, Tang Ling sighed.
"Wait! I've seen this girl. Li Xiang, who blocked the door on the side, walked back and glanced at the photo, and suddenly pointed to Li Jia and said, "When we hadn't eaten in the cafeteria before, I saw her pulling two girls from the stairs outside the gate to the third floor. ”
"Xiaoyu ......" Tang Ling looked at Li Xiang and pointed to Liu Xiaoyu in the phone, frowned, she took back her mobile phone, clicked on WeChat, and sent a message to Luo Rui.
"Where are you?"
"I saw a reply."
The third floor is now surrounded by monsters, and Tang Ling doesn't know the current situation of Luo Rui and them, so she dares to make a phone call, I'm afraid it will put them in danger.
Before Tang Ling could figure out what to do next, a message notification came from WeChat on her mobile phone, and Tang Ling hurriedly clicked on it.
Lory's news!
"Lingling, we are now in the outermost private room on the third floor, and we can't get out."
