Chapter 172: Dead Siege Practice (Part 9)
When the fifth call came in from 606, the Student Union finally gave in:
"Aren't there only four people in your dorm? How come you have five cell phones?"
Tang Xin Jue called in a second time: "First, the student union shouldn't arbitrarily speculate and disclose student information without basis. Second, with the advancement of technology and society, it's normal to have more cell phones. Finally, please don't interrupt the Q&A time. Our question this time is..."
Student Union: “…”
I wanted to escape, but I couldn't.
Although there was no song requested on the radio, Yu Wei seemed to hear the silent BGM in it, and a slight sympathy arose in her heart.
However, it didn't take long for this sympathy to disappear completely when the student union evaded the issue for the umpteenth time and refused to give a direct answer.
She angrily joined the card-picking camp: "This is too much! They don't even want to answer the questions properly!"
Even she could tell that if the host wasn't restricted by some rules, he would have wanted to unplug the phone line immediately, let alone tell everything he knew.
No wonder they need so many phone cards.
Fortunately, the phones had been perfectly preserved during their escape, and the SIM cards were undamaged. Zhang You even found several dual-SIM dual-standby phones and accepted them all without hesitation.
At this time, Yu Wei thought about it and took out a few small and exquisite mobile phones for the elderly from her trouser pocket.
"I almost forgot just now, can these be used?"
Of all the phones she'd gotten, only the "Qiuqiu" one, which had the fingerprint button firmly pressed by a zombie, had the screen lit up. The others either couldn't be unlocked with fingerprints or weren't smartphones that couldn't access QQ at all, so she'd just casually put them in her pocket and forgotten about them. Unexpectedly, they'd come in handy again now.
606: ...How many mobile phones did you bring back?
And with so many mobile phones hanging around, wouldn’t it be heavy when you run away?
Tang Xin Jue finished another question, glanced at the remaining time, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's not smart, as long as there is phone credit."
As for them, all they have to do is change their SIM cards faster than the student union can hang up the phone.
…
When the 12th call was connected, Xiao Ming couldn't even control the volume:
"Do you have four cell phones per person in your dormitory?"
Tang Xinjue said calmly, "Really? This is just my first time calling. You must have recognized the wrong person."
Xiao Ming: "You were clearly on the phone the whole time, you never stopped!!"
Tang Xin Jue ignored him and said, "My question is, once the antidote is developed, what are the requirements to get help?"
After a while, the person on the other end of the phone gnashed his teeth and said, "...Just stay alive."
“——Ding Dong——”
The 30-minute reminder suddenly appeared, and the radio almost immediately shouted in ecstasy: "Time's up!!"
"Well, that's it for today's broadcast. See you tomorrow. Have a great night—and live to see you next time."
The word "beautiful" was emphasized, as if to indicate that this night was destined to have nothing to do with this word.
The radio stopped working and the surroundings suddenly became quiet again.
Zhang You felt a little regretful: "There are still several numbers that have not been used."
Tang Xinjue put away the phone card: "It's okay, we'll continue tomorrow."
The information they obtained today has already yielded a lot.
The answers to these questions were information that required further analysis for 606, but for Wei, it was almost equivalent to reshaping her worldview.
The more you recall it, the stronger the effect.
"Help, help! Are we falling into some horrific experiment?!"
Yu Wei opened her mouth wide, looking terrified.
A sudden lab leak, a mysterious and bizarre student union, a virus that can evolve again even after turning into zombies, and no external signals to contact...
She suddenly covered her mouth, as if she had seen through the truth: "Could it be... a cult? Are we being sacrificed?"
Tang Xin Jue looked at her deeply and said, "Good idea. I'll have to wait until I survive to the end to verify it."
After a brief summary by several people, the previous conclusion on how to clear the dungeon still remains:
Can only rely on hiding.
Unless they can kill thousands of zombies in the school in one go without superpowers, and then dig deep into the ground to find the student union and the laboratory, they may be able to trigger a special ending, or be directly ejected from the copy.
But based on the current information, it is clear that the laboratory is the most mysterious place in the entire school. In short, no one can find it.
Even the student union doesn't know its exact location, so naturally they are clueless about the development of the antidote.
They even suspected that the only opportunity to obtain key information from the laboratory in the copy was that Yu Wei overheard the unexpected incident in the corner of the cafeteria.
While everyone was analyzing the situation, Guo Guo carefully examined Yu Wei for a while and said seriously, "Are you a spy from the lab?"
Yu Wei: "...You flatter me."
The location is hidden and safe, so you won't be bitten by zombies. You'll get the antidote right away, and maybe even get an internship certificate...
When zombies heard about this good thing, they all wanted to go.
"Look at it from a bright side, at least we know when the second wave of zombie mutations will occur."
Tang Xinjue marked a number in the chat history: twelve o'clock in the morning.
Before this, the zombies were still at the average level in their impression of zombie movies, and their numbers were not yet so large that they could flood the sixth floor.
It is hard to say what will happen in the future.
It was the hottest time of summer, but Yu Wei shuddered, feeling an indescribable chill in the air. A question suddenly occurred to her: "Oh, by the way, didn't the Student Union also say that several student strongholds had appeared outside?"
Judging from the literal meaning, these places must be home to a lot of students. Perhaps they can both resist zombies and store a lot of supplies?
"That sounds tempting." Tang Xinjue smiled. "Do you want to join them?"
Yu Wei wanted to nod frantically, but suddenly hesitated: "But after the radio broadcast, there will probably be a lot of people who want to join them."
She currently knows nothing about these "strongholds". If she gets there and is unfamiliar with the place, with nothing to eat and no place to sleep, it would be better for her to hold on to her gay friend here.
Although Yu Wei and the four people had only met for less than an hour, they had already established an extraordinary sense of trust - starting from when she was led up to the sixth floor by Tang Xinjue with a hemp rope and witnessed her stepping on the heads of three zombies.
She was inexplicably convinced that even if all the zombies in the building ran to the door of Room 606, the iron door in front of her would definitely be able to withstand it... Wait, an iron door?
The girl suddenly realized something was wrong and looked up abruptly: "Yeah, why is there an iron gate here?"
When she escaped through other dormitory buildings, she saw that all the dormitory doors were thin wooden doors. Why did this dormitory have a sturdy iron door that was obviously larger?
They are both dormitories, so how could the configurations be so different?
"Oh, this one." Zheng Wanqing said casually, "We changed it at our own expense."
"So that's how it is." Yu Wei suddenly realized, her eyes moved from the door to the iron weapon rack next to the door.
“…”
She swallowed and said, "Did you buy these weapons at your own expense?"
She remembered that this school didn't seem to be an agricultural university. Besides, she couldn't steal such strong fruits even if she went to the fields!
Zheng Wanqing was very proud , but still said matter-of-factly: "I only chose the shelf myself, the rest were opened from the lucky draw blind box."
Yu Wei:?
What prizes are being drawn? What blind boxes are being drawn?
She had been so busy running for her life that she had just caught her breath and caught up with the radio, so she finally had the energy to observe the dormitory in front of her. The more she looked, the wider her eyes widened:
It was clearly a normal dormitory layout, but the area was noticeably larger than the four-person dorm she'd known. Not only was there a weapons rack on the wall, but there was even an LCD wall-mounted TV above the door. She even spotted an exquisitely large refrigerator, nestled next to the uniquely shaped four-seater beds.
By the end, she realized: "A rich woman is actually by my side. Please support me. I can really live off her!"
Mom, she saw the ability of living money!
606 four people: "..."
Without puncturing Yu Wei's beautiful fantasy, Zhang You returned to the main topic: "Regarding the student base, I always feel that there are some hidden dangers."
You have to know that the more people there are, the more uncontrollable the zombie virus will be once it breaks out from within, not to mention that these are students who have just experienced a major change that day and may not have calmed down yet.
Of course, the main problem is that this information was proactively provided by the student union.
They didn't think that the other party would be so kind as to offer such beautiful hope to the candidates on the first day of the copy.
Guo Guo held the pendant and scanned the message about the "Student Base" for a moment. He opened his eyes and shook his head: "The pendant is scorching hot. Very bad luck!"
Without hesitation, they turned the page and fast-forwarded to the last point, which was also the most crucial question:
How to deal with tonight.
"Old rules: when the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth."
The four of them looked at each other tacitly, and then turned their gaze to Yu Wei at the same time.
Yu Wei felt a chill on the back of her neck and immediately raised her hands: "I can do anything! I can keep watch all night, do laundry and cook, and even share silly videos with you... Oh, no, I can't do that. I can't waste my phone battery."
Mentioning this, Tang Xinjue's eyes flickered slightly: "Then will you spread the word?"
Yu Wei didn't think twice: "Okay!"
…
Five minutes later, she understood what Tang Xinjue meant by "let out the wind".
The sun was high in the sky, and she crouched on the balcony, trembling with fear, watching for any zombies that might suddenly jump out from the sky. Meanwhile, Tang Xinjue stood on the railing, estimating the distance to the next balcony.
"Sister, are you sure you want to jump over ?"
Looking at the big shovel on the other person's back, Yu Wei couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Tang Xinjue nodded: "It's daytime now, just check around."
Yu Wei: "...What about tonight?"
Tang Xin Jue: "It's a dark and windy night, perfect for a long journey."
The student union only told her not to go out, but her current behavior is strictly speaking called visiting.
Zhang You and the other two were in charge of jumping off the balcony in the other direction. Guo Guo sympathetically explained, "We're worried we won't have enough numbers to call the Student Union tomorrow, so we're going to other dormitories to get some help."
Yu Wei: That’s true, but why did you bring sacks?
She didn't dare ask, so she could only wait quietly. Fortunately, Guo Guo was with her. The two of them squatted and divided a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips. Suddenly, Yu Wei peeked out: "Outside, downstairs, there seems to be someone about three buildings away."
Not just one, but a row!
