Chapter 183: Zombie Siege Practice (Twenty)
The chaos on campus lasted for nearly an hour.
As the student union radio station neared its broadcast time, the outside world gradually returned to silence. Only the zombies, who had just finished a marathon, were still wandering aimlessly under the shade of the trees.
"Hello, dear students, this is the Student Union Radio Station."
Lily's hypocritical voice came from the radio again, and a hint of gloating could be heard in her voice.
By the third day, their malicious intent was no longer concealed, and was clearly visible to everyone:
"An airdrop just arrived on our campus, and I'm sure many students have participated in the search for supplies. I just don't know whether it will be the students' stomachs or the stomachs of the infected who will be filled today? Hehe, the student union is also very concerned about this..."
Lily's sarcastic report came to an abrupt end only when Tang Xinjue called.
"Excuse me, but I personally think that instead of worrying about how much the zombies ate, the student union should be more concerned about the safety of some student bases."
On the phone, Tang Xinjue spoke clearly and forcefully. As soon as he opened his mouth for the first sentence, the student union had an ominous premonition of murderous intent.
"Well, let me remind everyone again, the radio station stipulates that a student can only ask one question..."
Lily tried to interrupt the other party and continue the conversation, but Tang Xinjue refuted her again in an orderly manner:
"The rules limit it to asking questions, and I didn't ask any questions. I was just raising a concern."
Student Union: “…”
They didn't have a chance to react before Tang Xinjue began to speak without stopping.
Threats and intimidation, arbitrary elimination, injections of unknown substances, starvation of food, and hanging on to students' lives prevent them from leaving...
All the anti-human acts committed by the two student bases over the past few days were exposed within five minutes.
This time, Tang Xin Jue's words were very blunt. "I don't believe a group of cult fanatics and a bunch of perverted research enthusiasts can form a stronghold that can shelter the majority of our classmates. I also hope that when choosing a stronghold to join, you must pay attention to the organizer's mental state. After all, a stronghold is valuable, but life is even more valuable. As long as you can hold on, this will end sooner or later. Thank you."
Even though the radio station was so quiet that only a slight electric current could be heard, the student union seemed to be able to hear the uproar in front of countless radios.
After just a few seconds of rustling on the radio, the voice changed from Lily to another host named Li Lei:
"Okay, thank you for calling this student. However, as a student union that is deeply trusted by everyone, we also have the responsibility to remind everyone that the above remarks are only one-sided statements from this student. The specific content has not been verified. Please do not believe them casually—"
Tang Xin Jue said seriously, "If any students have doubts, they can observe whether there is smoke rising from the direction of the East Gate Cafeteria. According to reliable information, this is because the cult organizer attempted to self-immolate this morning, perishing along with all the students."
The student union remained silent for a moment, still unwilling to give up: "Then there are other strongholds..."
"There was another stronghold in the medical building. After their diabolical virus experiment failed, the organizers attempted suicide by flooding the building. Fortunately, the students inside managed to escape."
"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of a normal base." Tang Xinjue changed the subject, "Even if the conditions are difficult, I believe that with the united efforts of our classmates, we will be able to overcome this difficulty."
Student Union: ...You've already said all the words, why don't you host it?
In the end, they could only forcibly hang up Tang Xinjue's phone on the grounds of time limit, using the euphemism:
"Ahem! We should also give other students a chance to give us feedback. Let's see which students call next."
The call was connected, and a slightly hoarse young male voice was polite for a few seconds before getting straight to the point: "Excuse me, we are the normal base that the classmate just mentioned."
Student Union: “…”
"As a high-quality base of University A, we guarantee that the person in charge is mentally sound, has high moral standards and is law-abiding. We will definitely not steal any piece of bread. Please rest assured!"
At the same time, in the East Gate Canteen, the fire had just been put out.
A group of organizers, their faces blackened by smoke, squatted around a radio. They were so angry at the sound coming out that their faces became even darker and darker, and they almost fainted.
Everything else would be fine, but it was clearly them who burned the house down!
Now that all the students have fled and everything has been looted, these robbers are actually still complaining on the radio?
One of the organizers held a cell phone and frantically dialed: "Hurry up and answer my call! I want to expose them!"
The others were also outraged and pinned their hopes of exposing the "true faces" of those people on the only mobile phone in the entire base that still had power.
However, after calling several times, the phone always received a busy tone, and the radio was filled with propaganda from that low-level stronghold that was so poor that it could barely make ends meet.
"It doesn't matter. Once he hangs up, it'll be our turn. As long as we can get past those idiots in the infirmary, we'll be a sure winner..."
This wave of calls finally came to an end, and just as everyone was about to get nervous, another call came in:
"Excuse me," the person in charge of the third base said politely, "It's us again. We were so engrossed in the promotion just now that we forgot to ask questions, so this time we'll ask questions while we're promoting..."
“…”
The people in the cafeteria nearly crushed their phones, and angrily consoled themselves, "It's okay, there's still time. I don't believe they'll keep calling after this one!"
"Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention that all the subsequent calls should be from us." At this time, the person in charge added on the phone:
"Because we have a lot of mobile phones at our base right now, if you have any other questions, you can come directly to the Student Affairs Management Center to ask us. Thank you for your cooperation."
…
If we ignore the details such as the student union trying every possible way to hinder the whole process, this radio broadcast can be said to be the most comfortable one ever for 606.
They also opened two boxes of self-heating meals they received from the airdrop and had a steaming hot and comfortable lunch while listening to the radio.
With only five minutes left on the radio, the other strongholds had basically given up, and the student union had regained its spirits as it was about to get off work, when the third stronghold suddenly hung up the phone.
The next second, 606 made the call seamlessly as if they had made an appointment in advance.
The student union suddenly became powerless: "Time is limited, we are not accepting publicity, complaints, reports, or anti-counterfeiting measures..."
"No, I just want to ask one last question."
Tang Xin Jue's voice was gentle and clear:
"Can the antidote in the school laboratory be developed in advance in some way?"
"——Or, can this disaster end early?"
After the airdrop, during the chaos on campus, the four of them broke free from the entanglement in the cafeteria and went for a walk around the medical building.
By the way, the students inside were completely released and some reagents were taken away to further reduce the burden and pressure on the organizers.
Although the organizers in the medical building were fewer in number, they reacted much faster than those in the cafeteria: when they found that they could not fight the epidemic even after using up a batch of red injections, they quickly ran away with the medicine, abandoning their stronghold and slipped away.
At this time, the different types of mysterious injections from the two strongholds all fell into the hands of 606.
After returning to the dormitory, the first thing Tang Xinjue did was to combine the "screening agent" from the cafeteria and the black potion from the medical building to observe the reaction.
They captured several zombies as experimental samples, and the results showed that after being injected with the mixture, a zombie that had recently mutated temporarily lost its aggressiveness, while another old zombie directly turned into a real "corpse" and completely lost its ability to move.
After various comparisons, it was basically confirmed that it was just as they guessed: the black injection in the medical building was close to the zombie virus, which could accelerate human death and mutation - but if combined with the "screening agent" of unknown composition in the cafeteria, it might miraculously restrain mutation.
Although it cannot truly solve the virus and its effects are unclear, the existence of the reaction itself is undeniable.
This is why Sun Qian and Yang Hang were able to recover midway even after being injected with the black potion. They had already been injected with another substance long before this.
——If this discovery is handed over to the "laboratory", can it promote the research of antidote?
This is the most important question they prepared for the radio station today.
After Tang Xinjue asked this question, the radio station seemed not to hear it clearly. After asking her to repeat it again, it fell into a long silence.
After an unknown amount of time, the student council finally responded:
"In theory, yes."
But sometimes, the reason why theory is just theory is that once it is put into practice, it is like the Mariana Trench that is difficult to cross.
For example, even though it has been indirectly confirmed that the [laboratory] can be "accessed", the student union still refuses to disclose any access methods, and candidates can only find it themselves.
After the radio broadcast ended, Yu Wei was filled with worry: "What should we do if the lab continues to disappear without a trace?"
Are they going to wait in the dormitory for this important discovery that they have finally made?
Even if these injections were available, no one would dare use them as antidotes without professional research. But what if they were left unused for too long and their activity disappeared?
"Oh." Yu Wei felt that she hadn't done much and was very angry.
Tang Xin Jue was not in a hurry: "Once we have the method to contact the laboratory, someone will deliver it to our door right away."
The sun withdrew from the setting clouds, and dusk quietly fell.
The medical building stood quietly in a corner of the campus. Empty for only half a day, it already looked damp and dilapidated. Fortunately, the door was ajar, preventing the few zombies roaming outside from entering easily.
In the last rays of natural light, a group of people tiptoed out from the darkness, looked around and saw no one, so they rushed forward and shot the zombies in the head while they were off guard, then rushed into the building in one breath.
"Huh! It's still better here. It's really not a place for people to stay outside. There are zombies everywhere."
An organizer wiped the sweat from his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
They thought they were careful enough, but still lost several people in the process of hiding, and were blasted by the northwest wind all day long. They were even more miserable than the students who were originally locked up here.
After dark, zombies rioted and they would die if they stayed outside. They had to rush back no matter what.
"Hmph, let's let those nosy women live one more night. When the virus mutates for the fourth time tomorrow, we'll have new samples to make the enhancer, and then we can take revenge on them!"
A thin man with glasses thicker than the bottom of a bottle slammed his coat on the table and swore loudly.
"No need to wait until tomorrow."
A familiar voice sounded above my head without any warning.
Several people's hair stood on end in an instant, and they looked up quickly, only to see several girls leaning on the stairs above their heads!
Tang Xinjue nodded towards them, his voice calm as water: "You can choose to take revenge now. We have been waiting here for a long time."
…
Revenge is impossible, not in this lifetime.
Several weak organizers were tied up in tears and tied tightly to the stair pillars.
"It's getting dark, so let's not waste time talking."
Tang Xinjue said gently, "Tell the truth, lock the door when we leave, and you can see the sun tomorrow morning."
"If you don't tell the truth, this door will remain open all night, and you can feed the zombies within a hundred-meter radius. Got it?"
The skinny guy with glasses who spoke the most harshly was the first to nod, and his glasses almost fell to the ground.
Tang Xin Jue looked at him: "Then, the first question."
"What is your relationship with the school laboratory?"
