Chapter 11
Just being separated by a balcony doesn't guarantee safety. Su Mo has witnessed it and knows how terrifying it can be once you turn into a monster.
She needs to get out, she can't stay in the dorm.
At this moment, her whole body is already blushing, and it feels like something is biting her fair arms.
Sometimes hot, sometimes cold, she limps along with her left leg, which she knows is probably fractured. She walks somewhat unsteadily, unable to control her balance, so it's understandable that she falls again.
But the pain isn't as painful anymore, in her eyes.
In front of her, there's a flashing bright green light, a router.
For the convenience of internet access, this device has been successfully arranged by a relevant company, and the cables almost cover the entire school.
Looking at the black ethernet cable connected to the router, Su Mo remembers that it's actually longer than she imagined, and it hangs uniformly above the dorm room door, bringing internet access into the room.
The Ethernet cable is very strong and can withstand pulling.
When Su Mo wrapped the torn Ethernet cable around her body, she initially only looped it once. But considering the possibility of breaking free, she couldn't help but unwind the cable and wrap it around herself two more times.
Holding onto the cable, she started walking back, struggling to make her way into the dormitory. She pushed hard until she exerted too much force, falling to the ground again, and biting her teeth.
The taste of blood immediately filled her mouth.
Her body began to convulse uncontrollably, her consciousness fading away. Her once-remembering brain started to go blank, erasing her past.
Su Mo struggled to stand up, fully aware that her body was undergoing changes. She knew she wouldn't last much longer, but at least she had to keep Lu Jia alive.
Opening the door, she walked out of room 417.
Leaning against 417, she slowly slid down and eventually fell to the ground. At this moment, she and the monsters roaming outside were no longer different.
Slowly closing her eyes.
In her mind, there was a white bedsheet with a middle-aged man lying on it. The man had a pale face and lay still without breathing. Around the hospital bed, a middle-aged woman dressed in white mourning clothes cried sadly.
The woman tightly hugged a little boy who looked about seven or eight years old. The little boy's eyes turned red from crying.
Only one female student on the left side was carrying a gray backpack. The backpack didn't even have a zipper, there was just a hole in the middle. A white rope went through the hole and was tied in a knot. Faintly, you could see traces of books inside.
The female student's hands were tightly clasped on the backpack straps, but her expression was gloomy. She seemed to be observing everything coldly until she was pushed with force. She fell onto the hospital bed, and the man's pale face was right in front of her. The female student got scared and quickly fled, even falling onto the neighboring hospital bed.
Fear and terror appeared on her face, but no one paid attention.
After that, some people gradually approached the ward. Their eyes were red, so when they saw that the female student had no trace of tears in her eyes, they looked at her with condemning and disdainful expressions. Someone even said, "As expected, heartless and cruel."
Upon hearing this, the woman who was initially holding the boy let go of him and walked towards the female student. She raised her hand and slapped her, through gritted teeth saying, "Heartless creature!"
The boy who was in the woman's embrace also walked towards the female student and kicked her in the leg.
The female student's leg instinctively bent, but then she quickly straightened it. She clenched her fists, although stubborn, her frail body was already trembling.
The boy was at a rebellious age. The shoes he was wearing had sharp triangular studs on the front, and he kicked with all his strength to vent his emotions.
"Sweeping star," he cursed, laughing innocently. He was clearly shorter than the girl students, but he seemed to know he would win.
"Roar~"
Su Mo was familiar with the sounds of the monsters in her ears. They walked past her without stopping. Obviously, they couldn't smell the scent of food on Su Mo anymore.
Silently leaning against the door, Su Mo gradually lost her ability to think.
************************************************************************************
"Roar~"
Even though the adults transformed into zombies only had half their bodies, they still possessed more power than Lu Jia could comprehend. Or perhaps she was also frightened by the sudden attack.
She sat down heavily on the ground, feeling a sharp pain in her buttocks. She instinctively clenched her teeth and didn't make a sound.
The feet kicked away the hands that were holding onto them, but the hands immediately reached out to grab her again.
The feet were tightly grabbed by a pair of hands, and even though she kicked, she couldn't kick them away.
With the help of her strength, the zombie quickly approached Lu Jia and took a bite at her feet.
Finally, Lu Jia's sword in her hand found a purpose.
Until the familiar foul smell once again filled the ground, Lu Jia acted for the first time. She found it difficult to accept, and only with the support of her sword, she was able to stand up again.
Remembering her frantic pounding, Lu Jia couldn't help but think of Su Mo. She was just like Su Mo, using the door to hit the zombie until it was no longer a threat to her.
What disgusted her now was not only the material splashing on the ground, but also the psychological discomfort.
There is nothing easy.
She knew that she had no choice.
She looked down at her pants and felt relieved. She was glad that she was wearing long pants because the cafeteria auntie's teeth and hands were not sharp enough to rip them or her shoes.
"Sorry," she whispered and chose to turn around, heading towards the door that led to the storage room.
After this scary experience, she became more cautious. She tightly held onto her life-saving sword and gently pushed open the door. The door made a squeaking sound, making her heart pound heavily.
The door opened wide in front of her, and Lu Jia cautiously entered the room, keeping her eyes alert to her surroundings.
Clang!
Without realizing it, she accidentally kicked a ceramic basin, and the sound of it echoed through the once silent room.
As the lingering sound faded, the nervous Lu Jia couldn't help but swallow saliva and her forehead was already covered in sweat.
Only after confirming that there were no zombies, did she finally let out a long sigh of relief.
This kind of situation could easily frighten her to death. Lu Jia was determined that if there was a next time, no, there wouldn't be a next time.
In front of this room is a storage room with a door.
From her current distance, it was less than eight steps to walk to the door. But when she actually stood in front of the storage room door, the agony she felt was like playing a scary game, and this door was like a barrier to unknown fear.
Knowing how you will die and not knowing how you will die are completely different kinds of psychological torment. Not knowing how to prepare for it makes her even more agonized.
Lu Jia felt a bit resentful, there were too many doors.
The lock on the storage room door was different from the previous ones. It was a bolt lock with an iron handle that had become rusty due to oxidation. It indicated that this door had been here for quite some time.
At this moment, the bolt lock was securely inserted into the latch, indicating that someone had closed it from the outside.
She slowly covered the bolt lock with her hand and then turned it upwards 90 degrees. She took a long breath and pulled the bolt lock forcefully to the left.
Clank~
The bolt lock collided with the obstruction on the left side, making a sound.
Lu Jia slowly pulled the door open, and glanced forward while slightly turning her body. Behind her, a man wearing a chef's uniform that was almost white with a hint of yellow, swiftly passed through the door behind Lu Jia and rushed towards her.
Thanks to a low growl and her sixth sense.
She quickly dodged to the side as the zombie charged too forcefully and crashed into the iron door.
Bang~
The sound was loud and the door was splattered with some flesh and blood from above. The door closed tightly due to the impact.
The zombie turned around angrily, once again lunging towards Lu Jia. Meanwhile, the previously closed door slowly opened on its own.
A sword struck the zombie's head directly, causing it to collapse onto the ground without a sound.
However, before Lu Jia could recover from the attack, a low growl echoed in her ears, coming from the storage room ahead.
She looked up and saw a hand reaching out from inside, no, not just one hand, but three male zombies emerging one after another. They growled softly and charged towards the prey in front of them.
Lu Jia became a little scared, which caused her to miss attacking the first zombie that rushed towards her head. She only managed to hit his hand, which didn't do much harm to him.
While she was in panic, the remaining two zombies opened their mouths, growled, and lunged directly at her.
Danger was right in front of her, but Lu Jia was helpless. She couldn't defend against the attacks of the three zombies. At this point, her hand seemed to be ready to accept death and couldn't move anymore.
She was simply unwilling. Su Mo was still hungry. Perhaps Lu Jia didn't expect that the only memory she would have when facing death would be this.
Bang~
Clang~
A black shadow flashed before her eyes, and the zombie in front of her had already been knocked down to the ground because it hit a pot and made a sound.
The other two zombies had already been grabbed by the person who suddenly appeared in front of Lu Jia, with one hand on each neck, and pushed towards the iron gate.
The iron gate kept banging due to the impact of their heads until a piece of grayish-white brain matter covered a part of the iron gate.
The two zombies' roars slowly became weaker, and their hands gradually fell down, no longer moving.
It wasn't until this moment that the hand gripping their necks let go again.
They slid down the iron door and finally fell to the ground, their deflated heads losing their life.
Looking at the familiar southern white stripes on its body, she couldn't believe it but had to.
"Roar ~"
"Bang ~"
Before Lu Jia could confirm it, the refrigerator beside her collapsed and hit the two entangled zombies, stacking them together.
