Chapter 176: Dead Siege Practice (Thirteen)
The moment Tang Xinjue opened his eyes, he instinctively jumped up, his awakened brain bringing the surrounding scene back into his field of vision.
This is not a dormitory.
It wasn't even indoors. The sharp corner of the dormitory building loomed before me, and behind me was the iron railings that separated me from the outside of the school. The building number couldn't be seen in the cramped space, but it was clear that it had nothing to do with Building 33.
Dawn had not yet completely climbed above the clouds, and a cold faint light hit my body. A low-pressure wind blew past, bringing the rustling sound of movement in the distance into my ears.
Tang Xinjue looked down at the spot where he had just been lying—under a bare wall. There were no props nearby, nor any signs of activity.
If we rule out the possibility that she is sleepwalking and dreaming, there is only one answer:
The copy started to act up.
The dormitory is built as strong as a rock, but zombies can't break in. What should we do? Move the sleeping students outside the dormitory.
Yes, that’s what games can do.
“Hiss—”
Just as his thoughts settled, a familiar sound slowly approached from the other side of the wall. Tang Xinjue pulled out the shovel from his waist and waited quietly for it to come over.
As a precaution, she always kept a weapon with her when she slept. Besides the toilet plunger, she usually carried four or five more on her waist.
In fact, she had already sensed something was wrong when she started to feel sleepy before she lost consciousness, and she grabbed the nearest tool around her.
Before the zombies showed up, she took out the tool from her pocket - an old-fashioned phone with an extra-long standby time.
A male face with pits, black and purple was reflected on the back of the fuselage.
The zombie opened its bloody mouth and pounced forward with a roar!
Bang!
While the shovel was chopping off the zombie's head, Tang Xinjue opened the cover of his mobile phone, thought for two seconds, and then pressed a string of numbers.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off and cannot be connected at the moment..."
It seemed that the phone Yu Wei had taken from "Qiuqiu next door" had run out of battery. She slowly walked out while dialing another number.
"sorry……"
There is another narrow path outside the corner. The shadow of the entrance to the living area can be vaguely seen from the outside, but it also blocks the view just right, so that people cannot see the scenery of the open area.
But even so, Tang Xinjue could sense that there were a large number of zombies wandering outside, waiting for the scent of fresh food to appear.
She was not in a hurry and tried the numbers in her mind one by one. After the fourth time, the call was connected:
"Hello?"
On the other side was Yu Wei, whose voice was trembling slightly.
Tang Xinjue understood: "Where are Zhang You and the others?"
"Sister Tang?"
Yu Wei was startled at first, then breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said sadly, "I don't know either!"
"When I woke up, you all disappeared!"
Guo Guo woke up from a shiver, his mind still confused for a moment.
When did it get so cold in the dormitory?
This chill was quickly replaced by a burning sensation in his chest. Guo Guo grasped the pendant one second, and then suddenly jumped up in shock the next.
She's not in the dormitory!
The scene that caught her eye was clearly a corridor, and she was lying in the middle of the corridor, with a bloody and motionless body .
Guo Guo held her breath and looked carefully: the face with bulging eyes was facing her.
In other words, she was lying in the corridor sleeping soundly, and another pair of eyes, still open, were staring at her within 10 centimeters, and she knew nothing about it?
The pendant was scorching hot, but Guo Guo felt a chill rushing straight to his scalp, causing the few remaining strands of hair on his head to explode.
——Ahhh, this is a rubbish copy, I can’t behave like a human being!!!
While screaming wildly in his mind, Guo Guo did not forget to observe the surrounding environment and found that this was the second floor. Judging from the appearance of the zombies, it was most likely a girls' dormitory building.
She calmed down, took out a screwdriver from her pocket for self-defense, and walked out carefully.
Before he reached the stairs, he met a zombie staggering down.
Guo Guo: “…”
She turned around and ran quickly, and the zombie pounced down from the stairs to grab her, but the zombie turned in the air and fell to the ground with its face in a twisted posture. Guo Guo, who turned around and shot, hit it directly in the head and nailed it to the ground.
Guo Guo suppressed his nausea and drew out his only weapon. Before he could wipe the knife clean, he suddenly noticed the zombie's face.
Why does it feel a little familiar?
Immediately, she remembered where she had seen this face:
From the mobile phone that was snatched from the dormitory 607 next door.
In Fangfang's phone album, there were many selfies of the four of them in the dorm. If she remembered correctly, the zombie face before her was Fangfang herself.
If "Fangfang" was still here... Guo Guo immediately realized another point: then her current location was most likely still Building 33!
——Just go up four more floors and you will return to the sturdy 606 Fortress.
Fortunately, the copy finally retained a bottom line and did not throw her directly onto the playground, or even into the pile of zombies... Guo Guo thought with relief as he climbed up the stairs without hesitation.
At the same time, on the open and flat sports field.
Zhang You stood up and brushed off the grass debris on his body, his expression indescribable.
The difficulty of the copy has increased out of nowhere, so just transfer her out.
As for throwing it over to the teaching area?
Why not just throw her out of the dungeon and be done with it?
The only lucky thing was that there weren't too many zombies on the field, and the few that were visible were all very far away. Zhang You still had plenty of time to prepare or move before they spotted their target and pounced on him.
Zhang You took a deep breath to adjust his state, then took off the large-capacity backpack on his back.
She doesn't have the habit of carrying too many weapons with her because it would squeeze out the storage space for other items, such as food, water, a full medical kit, a mobile phone, a signal receiver, a climbing rope, a small tent... and other survival tools.
In the end, Zhang You only took out two short shovels and a hammer from it, and then hung the account book with only its hard characteristics left in front of him as armor. He set off lightly and began to look for the nearest hiding place.
After finding a place to stay, she would contact Xin Jue and others. Zhang You knew that if the situation got worse and she was not the only one to be transferred out, then she would probably only be able to contact Xin Jue.
Because Guo Guo couldn't remember their phone numbers and Zheng Wanqing couldn't remember to bring her phone, finding them would depend on luck and external help.
Hopefully they'll be luckier.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
On a lawn, a large number of zombies rushed to the middle, but were all knocked away by a strong and powerful shovel, falling like dumplings, revealing the tall figure of the girl in the middle.
Zheng Wanqing beat the zombie violently while spitting out the weeds in her mouth. The lingering smell of grass roots and dirt made her even more furious, and she pounded the zombie's head with the shovel.
It was not until the last zombie's head was flattened that Zheng Wanqing concentrated on vomiting, and then she started to hit it wildly in anger, as if she was not hitting a zombie, but the dog's head in the copy.
Is there anything more infuriating than waking up among a bunch of zombies for no apparent reason?
——When he woke up, he was lying on the ground with his head down, and his face was covered with grass.
The shovel head was bent from being hit, and Zheng Wanqing stretched her muscles a few times before turning around to look: she couldn't see clearly just now because she was surrounded by zombies, but now that the zombies were lying on the ground, the surrounding scenery was clearly revealed.
This is a lawn on the side of a three-story building, surrounded by several small trees, and is less than ten square meters in total.
Yet, for some reason, over a dozen zombies had gathered in such a tiny area. Judging from the bodies and clothing, they had likely been infected only recently, their expressions still showing signs of panic.
Zheng Wanqing didn't see anything special, so she turned to look at the building next to her. After a few glances, she found something familiar:
Isn't this where the medical room is?
The red cross symbol on the wall was particularly bright red in the gray air. Above the symbol was the only window on the side wall, and there seemed to be a faint figure flashing inside.
Although it was only a moment, Zheng Wanqing didn't think she was seeing things. She nimbly dodged behind the shade of a tree and simultaneously pulled up a corpse with a flat head to block it in front of her.
The next moment, a clear figure appeared in the window.
It was a young, long-haired girl, her face filled with vigilance and suspicion. She opened the window and looked down, but didn't notice anything unusual among the zombies lying around on the lawn. It was as if they were meant to be there, so she slowly closed the window again.
The medical building was as quiet as ever. If you hadn't known about it in advance, you wouldn't have noticed anyone was inside even if you were passing by. Zheng Wanqing took a quick glance and didn't plan to continue observing. She just wanted to go back to 606 first.
Although I don’t know what the copy is doing this time, the dormitory is the most important place and there must be no mistakes... Wait!
Zheng Wanqing paused, keenly sensing something was wrong.
The shovel was used to create a strong wind, and the zombie that had just opened its mouth was shoveled back into the grass.
Zheng Wanqing frowned.
Whether in her memory or from the zombie's face , she had just smashed its head to pieces. According to normal rules, it should have completely lost its ability to move, so how could it still attack people?
In less than a second, several zombies lying quietly at the edge of the sight also staggered to their feet. One of them didn't even have its head on its neck, but was held in its arms and staggered forward.
——The third mutation.
In a flash, Zheng Wanqing understood the answer.
Without hesitation, she kicked over the first few again. Before the shovel that arrived fell, another strange noise suddenly sounded from above her head, this time mixed with shouts of quarrel.
Zheng Wanqing caught a glimpse of the source of the sound out of the corner of her eye: it was still the same window.
The clamor, growing louder, suddenly died down. Seconds later, two windows were violently flung open. The same long-haired girl, with a terrified expression, half - , about to scream, only to be covered by another pair of hands and forcibly dragged back.
The girl tried to hold onto the window frame and continued to struggle, but a boning knife appeared above her head.
Hands up and head down.
Two pairs of hands pushed the struggling body down. One of the boys glanced down worriedly, but he also found nothing unusual on the lawn.
The window closed again.
Behind the small tree, Zheng Wanqing left the last zombie behind and walked to the girl's body, where her eyes were open. She found a note hidden in her sleeve.
[Water was released at 6:00 AM to flood the south side window on the third floor of the entrance]
There was another message on the back of the note: [University A can only have one student base, fakes must die!]
Zheng Wanqing: “…”
Is the competition between your student bases so fierce?
She put the note away and looked up for a while, then picked up the shovel and inserted it into the gap in the wall. She used the force to climb up and soon reached the window on the third floor.
Inside was an office. The two boys had just left and the room was empty except for a box of unopened water on the desk.
The moment she saw the water, the strange taste in her mouth came up again, and Zheng Wanqing finally made up her mind to pry open the window and jump in.
When I unscrewed the water cap to rinse my mouth, I saw an ID card that was left untouched next to the box:
[Director of Dong Jingdongli Student Center]
It seems that the student union radio station was right, at least the student base really exists.
As for reliability... judging from the girl who was "silenced" and the zombies that inexplicably gathered outside the building, no one would believe that there is no trick.
There were no other clues in the house. Zheng Wanqing was just about to leave when she suddenly heard the sound of flowing water - as if someone was pouring water into the house?
She quickly turned around and saw a water pipe coming from the window sill spraying water out. A large amount of mist brought by the turbid water instantly enveloped the house.
“…???”
Is the school spirit of your University A so tough? Do the competition between student strongholds really involve flooding?
