Chapter 20

Three windows have a total of six curtains, which are tied into two ropes and dragged from both sides of the window. All of them are fully armed, carrying their bags and holding their weapons, using goggles, masks, plastic gloves and cling film to cover themselves, only revealing their noses and eyes. Even Professor Li held the scalpel in his hand to prepare for the worst case. Even if he killed the zombies, he would kill himself. No one wants to experience the pain of being bitten by the zombies, let alone become a monster that is as irrational as they are.

Mo Feng and Fan Guoping carefully checked everyone in turn to make sure there were no one left, and nodded to make sure everyone was ready.

Before leaving the classroom, Shen Shian saw a corpse on the dissecting table that was messed up due to the interruption of the course, and various specimens of the organs soaked in the formalin solution on the surrounding shelves. Professor Li said, “Do these need to be properly preserved?”

“No, no need,” Professor Li was stunned for a while before saying, “The end of the world, who knows when the next class will be, who knows if there is any next class.”

Shen Shian’s eyes glimmered faintly, “That’s right.”

Mo Feng and Fan Guoping went down from the rope and cleared the place near the landing area. Followed by the physically strong boys. They held the weapons in their backs and formed a half circle around the landing area. Then there were the classmates whose physical strength were slightly weaker. After landing, they formed a formation according to the practice. Finally, Fan Guoping climbed up to take Professor Li back down. They made sure to be careful and quiet throughout the entire journey.

Every rope is tied very tight plus the floor is not too high, even the weakest classmate could climb down without much difficulty.

The rope Lu Xiuyuan chose was the one in the middle. He wiped the sweats from his hand and wrapped a knot with both hands and feet as directed by the two bodyguards, each time moving down a small distance to entangle another knot, to keep the action stable, he didn’t shake it from side to side.

The landing process is smoother than he expected. Seeing that only the last quarter of the height was left from the ground, Lu Xiuyuan took a deep breath and look ahead.

The classroom directly below the dissection room is a laboratory. When the bell rings in the first class, it was filled with students. Unlike the good fortune of Shen Shian and others, the people with signs of cold in this classroom have not been able to be isolated from the other students. Therefore, after the outbreak of the virus, most of the students were unprepared to be exposed to the zombies.

At this time, the classroom was in a mess, the tables and chairs were thrown down, and various experimental equipment were scattered in a mess. There were bloods, meat and limbs everywhere. The survivors didn’t know where they were going, leaving only a room full of strange, blind wandering zombies.

One of the zombies swayed to the window. He was infected after a bite. A face that was almost destroyed until he could not see the original appearance. The skin was pulled down and torn to the jaw and neck. As it moved back and forth, it will occasionally drop a little meat residue. The turbid and blood-filled eyeball turned and passed through the clean and bright window glass, just right where Lu Xiuyuan was.

Lu Xiuyuan used his life’s greatest self-control, and he slammed his mouth and did not call out. Under the fear, his body was soft and his one-handed power was insufficient. He fell off the rope.

He was immediately held by a pair of arms, “It’s okay.”

The low, cold voice sounded in his ear, and Lu Xiu turned his head to look deep into the eyes of Shen Shian. The fear in his heart suddenly reduced a lot, he nodded and whispered, “Thank you.”

Shen Shian did not say much, and after he stood up, he continued to pay attention to the next person who landed. When everyone was safe, Fan Guoping also put Professor Li back to the middle of the crowd. The whole team quickly gathered in a diamond shape and gestured toward the forefront of Yun Feiyang and Mo Feng.

From the dissection room to the water auditorium, they must pass through the school building. According to the route planned after detailed discussion by them, the whole route is about 1,700 meters. From the anatomical room to the English Corner, the campus avenue is less than 400 meters. Because there are many teaching buildings on both sides of the road, the crowds are concentrated when the virus breaks out. It is the most dangerous and difficult to pass, and the most deadly area in the whole route.

If you can safely pass this section, the following section of the campus was the one with the least amount of people, the nearest research physiological building is also hundreds of meters away, as long as you run fast, nine out of ten will not be chased by the zombies.

It is life and death. It depends on this short yet long 400 meters.

Everyone has analyzed that the zombies are attracted by sound, so try to minimize the sound as much as possible. However, the factors that attract zombies are obviously more than just one. The group has just turned to the research building and took a head on the campus road. The zombies around, whether they are wandering around without aim, or burying their bodies and smashing their limbs, or screaming in front of the teaching building, have temporarily stopped their movements, their heads are raised, their noses are sniffing. The turbid eyeball turned two laps, and then it was like exchanging some kind of information, and it was surrounded by a team of more than 70 people.

Standing upstairs overlooking the zombies and standing on the same ground as the zombies are two very different experiences. Blood, broken limbs, pieces of flesh, and traces of bites on most zombies are clearly exposed to the eye. At this time, the bloody suffocating and sticky squeaks are heard all around. The huge psychological impact caused by this, even the clinical medical students who often dealt with the corpses are somewhat frightened. They can’t help but turn pale and tremble in fear.

The important role of the two bodyguards was fully revealed at this time.

Yun Feiyang took a half-meter-long medical pliers and opened the road in front of Mo Feng. Before the first zombie rushed over, he raised his arms and stabbed the other’s eyes.

Puchi. The medical pliers were only stuck in a small section of the bones. The eyeballs were squeezed and violently cracked. A few nerves were dragged around the corners of the eyes. The sticky blood ran down the handle and trickled down. There was no feeling at all, and it continued to wave its arms forward, the low growls was extremely uncomfortable to hear, and the still intact eyes were full of crazy desire for fresh flesh and blood.

Yun Feiyang held the medical pliers handle to stop the zombies from approaching them. The bones and the pliers smashed against each other and the sound produced was extremely uncomfortable, he lifted his feet and struggled to smash the zombies and pull out the medical pliers. And when the other party rushed up again, he followed the same position and tried to stab it again. This time, the medical pliers are not even one third inside. He could even feel the soft touch of the metal front end breaking into the brain. The zombies were stiff and went straight down.

After stabbing the brains with the medical pliers, Yunfei Yang clenched his teeth tightly, and the cold sweat on his back had already wet two layers of clothes. And just when he finally killed a zombie, Mo Feng had solved his opponents one after another and cleared a large area around him.

He doesn’t seem to need to react at all, he raises his hand at random, and the metal rod accurately penetrates into the brain of the zombie with various boring angles. The hard skull in front of him is so ugly that there is absolutely no flesh. When he failed, he can raise his legs and aim at the zombie’s neck. Even if there is chaos around, Yun Feiyang can clearly hear the cracking of the cervical vertebrae. The opponents are thrown away like rags.

Fan Guoping and Shen Shian at the rear are equally well-versed. After Fan Guoping solved the two zombies. At the same time, he turned his head and looked at Shen Shian’s direction. Suprised, he said, “Mr. Shen has practiced.”

Such speed, strength and responsiveness are not what ordinary 20-year-old college students can have. Of course, what is even more rare is the extreme self-determination and calmness seen in Shen Shian. Fan Guoping thinks to himself, when he was 20 years old, if he encountered such a situation at that time, he would not be so calm.

The children of rich families are different, if they wanted to practice talent, they can, if they wanted to practive martial arts, they also can, they can learn anything they wanted. However, according to the fact that Mr.Gu is always worried that someone wants to murder Shen Shian for 24 hours, it was normal for Mr.Gu to asks someone to teach Shen Shian self-defense.

Shen Shian nodded as he would normally. He did practice it, the things he practiced were about the same as Fan Guoping’s guess. He raised his hand and smashed the steel pipe in his hand on a zombie’s head. The powerful vibration is returned by the metal feedback. Even without anatomical examination, Shen Shian can confirm that the zombie’s brain has become a paste in this shot.

Under the strong support of the front and rear, the whole team, like a razor blade, smashed an opening in the field full of corpse. There are many survivors in the teaching buildings on both sides. At this time, they are standing by the window and looking out. They are courageous and just on the first floor. They learnt by seeing and everyone wrapped their wrists, neck and other vulnerable parts. They get up, took the tables legs and other homemade weapons, and jumped out of the window and rushed towards the crowd.

Shen Shian and the others considered this situation when discussing the combat plan. Therefore, the “diamond face” for the coming person quickly moved to accept the other party, and the people around him briefly introduced the precautions and coordinated to continue to move forward.

With the increasing number of zombies that everyone has fought, in addition to the rapid loss of physical strength, the psychological endurance is also facing enormous challenges.

In any case, these unknown “biological creatures” in front of them are still alive and human beings less than two hours ago. They will laugh, they will be worried about the same youthful things. They will be worried that they will arrive at class late, and the final exam will be closed. Many of them even went to class together after eating, and laughed and said hello when they met on the road. Killing your own acquaintance or even your friends with weapons, such pressure is unbearable for most normal people.

If you encounter a zombie that is infected after being bitten, it is better. Most of these zombies are unrecognizable. It’s even hard to find out the similarities between the dead and the human beings.

However, there are almost no wounds in the first generation zombies[1]. In addition to the blushing green eyes and the slowness of the action, it seems that there is not much difference between them and normal people. If you change the time, it is estimated that this is a student who stays up all night and no one will doubt it.

Treating such “biological creatures” as a dead enemy, smashing the weapon from the eyelids or through the brainstem into the brain and causing it to die, even Fan Guoping gave birth to a few points. “They are still children.” One at most in their early twenties, seven or eight years older than his daughter.

Shen Shian once again shattered the skull of a zombie, raised his hand and wiped the blood stains on the goggles. He said with a sound that was so horribly calm,“The children who ate human flesh, Mr. Fan, they do not breathe nor do they have heartbeat. Even if a vaccine was developed, there is no way to survive.”

Fan Guoping’s heart calmed down and quickly returned to his sense,“You are right.” The fewer these things, the more surviving people can be safe.

At the same time, Yun Feiyang also encountered the biggest challenge along the way. His face was pale, staring at the front, and the hands clasping the medical pliers trembled violently. Seeing a zombie turning its turbid eyeballs,it rushed toward him, but he could not escape anyway.

“Be careful,” Mo Feng whispered low and pulled him from the zombie’s nails right before it touched Yun Feiyang. At the same time, he flew sideways and kicked the zombie five meters away. He slammed on the ground. While turning to Yun Feiyang, he said, “You knew it.”

Yun Feiyang lips trembled, and there was a tear in his eyes. He nodded, “Room three.” In addition to him in the bedroom, the other three were infected with the flu. He had taken a vacation today to rest in the dormitory. The third grade last semester shouldn’t be here but he talked about a girlfriend, perhaps he was here to accompany his girlfriend to class.

Such things cannot be comforted by others. Mo Feng silently raised his hand and patted his shoulders, “Concentrate and live well.”

The more they go forward, the closer the distance between the buildings, and the more dense the zombies will be. The diamond-shaped team is like a small boat that sails into the swamp, with vines being the obstacle. When there is about a hundred meters left in the English corner, even Mo Feng’s scalp started numbing when he sees the tidal corpse in front of them.

Shen Shian took the opportunity and shouted,”It’s now.”

The students in the inner circle immediately passed the large and small packages in their arms to the students in the outer circle. The students in the outer circle took out pieces of corpse fragments and internal organs from the package and tried to throw them all the way to the road. The pungent formalin smell quickly spread in the air.

Fortunately, such an odor is not a big problem for the zombies. Through the strong formalin smell, they could still find the meat. After a short stop, they turn around and rush to the road to pick up a piece, put it in its mouth and eat it.

“Ou.”

The medical students who have gone through the battle can’t stand it anymore, opening their mouths and vomiting, triggering a series of chain reactions.

Yun Feiyang furrowed his eyebrows and his face turned blue and white. Just seeing it makes him want to spit it out, “Who knows how many years have those specimens been in a jar, but in the end they ended up inside the mouth.”

Other people’s faces are not better than him. Some people whispered “eat, quick eat, eat some that died will be great.” Organs that are made into specimens are usually highly diseased. Even if it has been soaked for several years, who knows if there is any virus left.

After Shen Shian threw out the fragments, he noticed the situation on the road. Because the zombies were attracted by the fragments, the density of the zombies on the road was reduced several times, and he immediately “walked” to the crowd.

Without the obstruction of the vines, this time the boat is moving much faster. In addition to leading the zombies away, it also reduced the guilt of everyone’s “similar” hand blade.

Once the psychological pressure was surpressed, the advantage of being a clinical medical student was fully revealed. The spirit was highly concentrated, and the start-up was quick and accurate. With two bodyguards escorting them, a group of people took only ten minutes to break through the last 100 meters at the fastest speed.

After the team completely turned from the English Corner, with a “run” they all immediately exhausted all their strength and rushed along the empty road, Fan Guoping directly carried Professor Li on his back and ran out with the others. After a distance of nearly five hundred meters, they gradually stopped.

Resisting the zombies and running forward consumed a huge amount of strength. The group of people stopped in the open space outside the North Playground, holding their hands on their knees and bending forward to breathe.

“Ha ha ha” did not know who started it first. After the escape, the joy of the rest of the people can not be suppressed once it spreads. The short laughter is getting more and more dense, with a deliberately low volume in this space. The ground has been resounding for a long time.

The other voice that ended the laughter was coming from the east gate, and there were countless screams with chilling despair, the screams were heard so far that it made people fall to despair.

That is the direction of the affiliated hospital of the Medical University.

In the event of a virus outbreak, the affiliated hospital is probably the most concentrated place for influenza patients throughout the university town. Such screams, just imagine, you can guess what a purgatory scene is in the hospital at this time.

The laughter before quickly stopped. The blood that was pumping from the long run before quickly faded.

Professor Li sighed, “Thinking about it more now is useless, save our energy first, then discuss it later.”

Shen Shian said, “Yes, don’t forget, we haven’t arrived yet.” There’s still nearly a kilometer from the small auditorium.

The people adjusted their mood and rearranged the formation. After accepting a group of mid-way joiners, the entire team now has a total of 83 people. MoFeng is accompanied with 7 sturdy men, armed with weapons and carrying schoolbags. The eight of them will follow the plan and go to the right of the road two hundred meters away to collect supplies within the supermarket next to the graduate canteen.

The reason why they chose this supermarket is because it is located in the route to the water auditorium. Secondly, the number of graduate students is relatively small. When the virus broke out, it was around 9:00 am, which is the time when the canteen has the least number of students. Therefore, the risk factor is the lowest.

But the low risk factor does not mean that there is no danger. On the contrary, this is a task that is very likely to endanger life.

Shen Shian has agreed on this and repeated the precautions, “If you find too many zombies, immediately retreat, don’t take any risks. Everything is for your own safety. If you enter the supermarket successfully, don’t stay too long, give priority to collecting high-calorie food.”

Mo Feng nodded. “Rest assured, I understand the risks.”

“Be careful, pay attention to safety, we will be waiting for you in the small auditorium.”

“You too.” Mo Feng waved, and the seven boys quickly disappeared behind the bushes by the road.

The rest of the people re-started, Shen Shian replaced the position of Mo Feng with Yunfei Yang. After Fan Guoping moved first, the group quickly followed along the main road.

This time there was no zombies blocking the way, the speed of the team was raised, and just a few minutes later, they came to the artificial lake where the water auditorium was located. Going down the wooden bridge to the entrance of the auditorium, the door is locked. The giant banner of “Warmly welcome the expert group to come and exchange guidance” is still on the door. This means that Lu Xiuyuan is right, the possibility of no one in the auditorium was high, and everyone is quietly relieved.

Lu Xiuyuan took out the key, opened the lock, and the two doors slowly opened. He was just about to go inside when Shen Shian stopped him “Wait, be careful.” He turned to look at Fan Guoping, “Mr. Fan, trouble you to be on the outside.” Then with Yunfei Yang and five other boys, holding weapons back to back, they carefully examined the entire two-story, small auditorium. Finally, the steel pipe was knocked hard on the door. The loud impact sounded back to the whole small auditorium. After the sound disappeared, the auditorium inside is still a quiet.

What a relief.

The crowd quickly entered the auditorium and the door was closed again. Pressing the power switch, three huge suspended crystal lamps and fluorescent lamps in all corners make the whole hall bright and white. Because the expert group is welcomed, the walkways are lined with flowers, and each of the large and soft seats are placed. There is also a bottle of water, several special snacks in the city of H, and a brochure for the introduction of the medical department.

Bright and safe space, fresh and sweet mineral water, coupled with the breathtaking floral fragrance in the air, is a paradise for everyone who has experienced the test of life and death.

After cheering loudly, they rushed toward the seat.

“This chair is so soft and comfortable, and it doesn’t mattereven if it’s not a bed.”

“Don’t eat the foods first, wait for the collection team to come back.”

“This projector can even watch movies with a computer, as long as there is food, I think staying here for a month isn’t a problem.”

Excited emotions became more and more high after discovering two vending machines on the second floor. After a while, everyone calmed down and drank some water to restore energy. Several girls volunteered to go to the top floor to pay attention to the collection team. Others were free to move to see if they can find more supplies. After Shen Shian confirmed that Professor Li is safe, he circled around and found the men’s bathroom on the second floor.

When he walked in, he found that Fan Guoping stood close to the mirror and seemed to be fascinated.

“Mr. Fan,” Shen Shian walked over.

Fan Guoping was shocked, retreating from the side of the mirror and putting the sleeves down. His eyelids are a little red

Shen Shian said, “You are still worried about Mrs. Fan and the children.”

Fan Guoping lowered his head for a moment and then squeezed a smile. “I know that I am so far away from them. It is useless to think about it now, but I can’t control it. My heart is like a hot charcoal. ”

Regarding the safety of his loved ones, Shen Shian couldn’t say anything to comfort him. He am afraid that he(Mr.Fan) will not be able to listen to any comfort at this time. After thinking about it, he said, “Now, the communication network is broken. I can’t contact Mr. Gu for the time being. As long as I can contact him, I will ask him to send someone to look at the situation of Mrs. Fan and her children and take care of them.”

Fan Guoping’s eyes were bright, and his heart was filled with thousands of thoughts. In the end, Zheng Zhongzhi’s authentic voice stopped him. He bends over and washed his face with cold water, dried it and asks Shen Shian. “What is Mr. Shen going to do next?” He remembers that Mr. Shen’s child is still at home.”

Shen Shian nodded, “When Mo Feng comes back, we’ll leave.”

Shen Xun has been mad in the space. If Shen Shian doesn’t go home, he can’t put him out. What’s more, the house has plenty of supplies, and there are also a variety of meat products upstairs. It is better than staying here.

He originally came to the bathroom to find a quiet and uninhabited place to enter the space to appease Shen Xun, but now he can’t find a good time. Fan Guoping stood in the aisle and talked a few more words. Then suddenly, the building came up with a few cheers. “The collection team is back.”

Shen Shian and Fan Guoping looked at each other and immediately went downstairs.

Mo Feng and the others did come back, and their backpack were full, they also wrapped a huge package on the body with a sheet of quilt cover, which was full of food.

The collection team that returned safely won a warm welcome from everyone. Shen Shian asked, “Is there any accident?” The seven boys who followed Wan Feng immediately talked at the same time.

“Brother Mo is hanging a sideways chain, even the weapons are not used, and a few zombies have been kicked off the neck.”

“The ones that he have practiced are different. The martial arts masters on TV are far worse than Brother Mo.”

“When we walked out of the supermarket, we encountered several zombies blocking the door. Brother Mo took the bag which is filled with foods with one hand. I didn’t even see anything and the zombies were all killed by him.”

“Grandpa, I decided that from today, Brother Mo is my idol, the almighty Brother Mo.”

Hearing Mo Feng’s praises, Yun Feiyang is like discovering a new world. Because they are familiar and the other party saved his life not long ago, he grabbed Mo Feng’s shoulder and smiled, “Your ears are red”

Mo Feng has no expression as always, but his body is tense like a bow being pulled.

As others watched the enthusiastic discussion around the team, Shen Shian shouted Mo Feng and told him his plans to go home. Nowadays, there are food and drink in the small auditorium. There are lakes as a natural barrier. They have successfully escorted everyone, and they have already done their best.

Mo Feng listened to Shen Shian and nodded.

Shen Shian turned and asked Yun Feiyang, “Do you want to go home with me?”

“Of course, where would I be if not with you?” and Ruibao is still at home.

Shen Shian took a few bags of bread and a few bottles of mineral water and walked over to several people. He said, “We have to go.”

His voice is not small, and everyone’s eyes are concentrated in an instant. When they knew that Shen Shian and the others are leaving, their looks are not colorful.

Shen Shian blinked and looked at Lu Xiuyuan “You will be in charge.”

“What do we do when you leave,” Lu Xiuyuan shouted out. This sentence seems to have been shouted by a lot of people’s mind, so for a time the small auditorium was silent, and the line of sight was firmly focused on Mo Feng and others.

Lu Xiuyuan paused and said, “I want you to stay and it is good for you. Shen Shian said it himself, the medical college is definitely the first rescue target of the country. There are water and foods in the small auditorium. It is not likely that the zombies will come over. Staying here and waiting for the rescue is so good. Why bother to take the risk of returning home? The rescue team can’t save the school and your home. What’s more, even if Mr. Mo and Mr. Fan are capable, they don’t guarantee that you can get home safely, not as good as staying here.”

Pei![2]

Yun Feiyang unceremoniously interrupted his words “I say this, if you want a free bodyguard, you can say it straight. How can you be embarrassed? I sent you safely here. I don’t want people to go to An an, Brother Mo, and Brother Fan to say they owe you. Oh, I remember that your classmates love to care for your safety. Not only that, the virus broke out ten hours later, just in time for An an to be on duty, and he still survive. Do you dare to do it on the bright surface?”

Yun Feiyang’s anger was raising and was gently stopped by Shen Shian. He slowly looked around for a long time and finally whispered, “I won’t wait here for rescue.”

Not only because Shen Xun need to be released from the space, but also because his mother’s ashes are still at home.

“Even if you agree or disagree, we will still leave.”

Shen Shian four people and others were on both sides, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

“What are you doing?” Professor Li walked down from the bathroom on the second floor. Apparently he had heard the incident. “Shen is very kind and has risked his life with Mr. Mo, who escorted us to here, since they need to leave, you all should be thankful and wish them safety. The zombies only appear for three hours, but even some lives were lost.”

Many people were stunned and nodded their heads.

Professor Li, regardless of what they said, went to Shen Shian and the others. “Would you like to take a break now and have something to eat at home? It’s better to take some food. If it’s not for Mr. Mo, we can’t collect these.”

Shen Shian shook his head, “No need.” He looked at the loudspeaker on the podium in front of the auditorium and made another request to the crowd. “I won’t take any food but which of you can lend me a megaphone and a mobile phone?? ”

Then he said to the professor, “Can you please help me record a paragraph?”

About half an hour later, Shen Shian appeared in the most intensive teaching area. After a trip around the zombies, he found the most suitable place. It is a huge stone monument between the teaching buildings. It is nearly five meters high. It is engraved with the medical school motto. The back is engraved with the medical university founder. A well-known physician who has made outstanding contributions to medical development.

“It’s there,” Shen Shian whispered. “It’s in the middle of the school building, and the zombies are not too much.”

Fan Guoping took the initiative to ask, “Give it to me, you should retreat a distance.”

He took the megaphone and the mobile phone from Shen Shian’s hand and like a strong tiger, he quickly ran to the stone tablet and climbed up with his bare hand. He positioned the megaphone with the microphone of the mobile phone and press the button at the same time.

“Everyone, everyone, I am Li Chengfang, an associate professor at the Clinical College of the Medical University. The 78 students of the Clinical College and I are now in the water auditorium on the North Campus. It is very safe, there are water and foods, if you can If you hear this, you are welcome to come and meet us if you can guarantee your own safety. If there is no way to come, don’t worry, keep calm and wait for the rescue, please rest assured, I assure you that the rescue will soon come”

Before leaving, Shen Shian and the others made a half-meter-long crack on the wooden bridge leading to the water auditorium, making that normal people can easily cross the bridge, but the zombies will only fall into the lake.

A safe haven that is completely isolated from the zombies, plus this recording, is what he can do for the survivors.

As for the survivors who later rushed over and whether the seventy-eight people will have conflicts due to food or drinking water, it is not within his consideration. Professor Li, who is always the primary rescue target of the rescue team, no one dares to fight.

Fan Guoping put the mobile phone and megaphone on the stone tablet and quickly went with the three people. A group of four people marched in the direction of the South Gate. Behind him, Professor Li’s sound was amplified by the loudspeaker and bounced back. His voice echoed in most of the campus for a long time.
