Chapter 12
Her gaze was completely drawn to the two zombies stacked together, the zombie's arms on the chef's uniform almost breaking. Looking at it, Lu Jia couldn't help but recall something in her mind.
"You?" She looked at the zombie under the refrigerator. Wasn't this the male zombie who had been with her all the way before, and then separated from her in front of the cafeteria?
Can it be concluded that the male zombie in front of her is the shadow that leaped past her before, so does he want to save her?
Before Lu Jia could think clearly, the person who had previously knocked off the heads of two zombies had already arrived at the fallen refrigerator.
Under the refrigerator, the heads of the two zombies were stirring. Perhaps because the approaching person was also a zombie, the two zombies under the refrigerator completely ignored her arrival.
Until the zombie at the very bottom was kicked, causing its head to separate, the body at the bottom didn't move, but the head rolling to the side kept opening and closing its mouth, but couldn't make any sound.
"Crack~"
The woman approached, lifted her foot, and then landed neatly.
In front of Lu Jia, it was like a watermelon being smashed hard with a hammer, splattering watermelon juice everywhere, and the watermelon was split into four or five pieces.
The person in front of her didn't change her expression, turned around, and was about to step on another zombie.
Lu Jia saw the situation and quickly reached out to stop the person in front of her, saying, "Wait, Su Mo."
Upon hearing her words, Su Mo turned to look at her with confusion and perhaps a hint of displeasure. But she didn't understand these emotions. All she knew was that these things threatened her food and needed to be stepped on, yet her food was holding her back.
When Su Mo didn't move, Lu Jia slowly let go of her sleeve. She walked towards the male zombie pinned under the refrigerator. Squatting down, she observed him closely.
She didn't recognize this person. At first, she thought the male zombie had saved her because he knew her like Su Mo did. But now it was clear that she was wrong.
The zombie stared at her, and his growls grew louder. He writhed, trying to get closer to Lu Jia, as if he wanted to tear her apart.
Lu Jia found it strange. She had saved him, and now he wanted to treat her as food?
The zombie's growls grew even louder, and his movements became more violent. If not for his disabled hands, he might have been able to reach Lu Jia.
Even though he couldn't reach Lu Jia, Su Mo had no intention of letting him go.
Her feet landed swiftly as she faced the defenseless Su Mo. Su Mo could only allow herself to be stepped on until she met her end, just like his companion.
Lu Jia knew that Su Mo was trying to save her, but she didn't understand why the zombie that was supposed to save her suddenly changed.
She sighed slightly and found everything she was experiencing now strange.
Lu Jia cleared her mind and didn't allow herself to think randomly at this critical moment.
She intended to get up, but her gaze accidentally fell on the zombie who was being pressed down. Something was sticking out of his pocket, which made Lu Jia curious.
She reached out and pulled out the thing from the man's pocket.
It was a photo, a bit wrinkled, but she could still see the people in the photo clearly - a man and a woman. The man was the one lying under the refrigerator now, but as for the woman...
Lu Jia didn't recognize her, but she had a feeling of familiarity, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
As she was feeling strange, there was a thud in her ear. The person who was standing next to her properly fell to the ground again.
She turned her head and saw that Su Mo was poking her leg, which was already swollen and terrifying due to the dislocated bone.
She didn't feel the pain, but she was confused about why she fell, so she secretly touched her own leg to find out.
Holding the photo, she casually put it in her pants pocket.
Su Mo, who was sitting on the ground, playing with her leg, looked at her and unexpectedly reached out her hands, as if she wanted a hug.
Lu Jia looked at her and didn't say anything. He simply reached out and supported Su Mo's hands, putting his arm around her shoulder, helping her to stand up.
A faint scent in her nose made her unable to resist sniffing more, until she realized that the smell was coming from Su Mo.
Looking at Su Mo, who was looking at her with a tilted head, Lu Jia finally noticed that there was something strange about her. She didn't have the foul smell of a zombie. Every time they touched, Lu Jia felt like she was helping a person, not a zombie.
What was she thinking? She pushed aside the strange thoughts in her mind and focused on the fact that the person in front of her was hungry. She couldn't help but sigh quietly.
Then, she guided Su Mo towards a chair, straightened it, and helped her sit down.
During this process, Su Mo listened like a well-behaved little baby, not making any noise or fuss.
Lu Jia looked at Su Mo, she didn't know how Su Mo found her with such a wobbly left leg.
The person sitting on the chair didn't know what she was thinking, they just had their eyes open, looking at her, occasionally blinking.
Lu Jia looked and couldn't help but feel moved, Su Mo saved her once again, she wouldn't have survived without Su Mo.
"You sit tight, I'll go get you some food."
She smiled and said, Su Mo looked at her, suddenly her eyes froze, but unfortunately Lu Jia didn't notice.
Seeing Su Mo didn't move, she guessed that Su Mo understood, so she didn't pay attention to anything else and turned to walk towards the storage room.
According to her understanding, if there were zombies hearing the noise outside, they would have already come out. She was more worried now about whether there were zombies inside and if the food that could be eaten would still be there.
But she was lucky after all.
Although there were zombies in the storage room before, there was actually a small freezer inside that hadn't been opened, because there was a layer of frost on the freezer, so she struggled to open it.
Inside the cupboard, there were several big pieces of pork with ice on top, and there was even a whole duck.
Then, in a burlap bag, she found a few potatoes and cabbage.
Looking at all of this, Lu Jia felt a little puzzled. The problem now was that even though she had found these things, it seemed like she couldn't take them out.
It looks like she'll have to come up with a plan.
.....
The wheels on the cart were rolling very slowly on the road, and the sound it made as it rubbed against the ground was so faint that if you weren't in Lu Jia's position, you wouldn't be able to hear it at all.
If you silently looked over, you would see a person pushing a white, movable, medium-sized freezer. It moved slowly, like an ant, and the door of the freezer was open. A zombie with a beautiful half face and half body was left outside.
At this moment, the zombie had its eyes closed, as if taking a nap.
Although Lu Jia couldn't figure out if zombies needed rest, it was clear that Su Mo needed to rest.
This freezer used to be the freezer for storing meat. Due to certain factors, this thing has become the most suitable carrier for things.
The small black wheels roll slowly along with Lu Jia's slow pace. In the middle bottom of the four wheels, there is a headphone wire connected to a matchbox-sized mp3 player. It's unknown when the mp3 player was attached.
Because it was blocked by the freezer's body, Lu Jia, who was pushing the freezer, temporarily didn't notice its presence.
After passing the cafeteria with great difficulty, in front of her was a downhill section. This road could even go straight to her dormitory, but the surrounding playground could not be avoided.
Even though there was still some distance across the playground, Lu Jia had already become nervous when she saw large groups of zombies on the sports field earlier.
But with Su Mo around, Lu Jia felt a little more at ease. Although it was difficult, she still had to keep going.
So she slowly pushed the cart down the steep slope.
But controlling the cart on the steep slope was more difficult than on level ground. Lu Jia almost had to rely on pulling the freezer, trying to keep the sound of it sliding at a very low frequency.
Even when crossing the playground, she instinctively placed the freezer close to the grassy area, away from the cement side, in order to minimize the sound. If a zombie passed by or if the sound became too loud, she would immediately crouch down.
Su Mo is a zombie. She is still and doesn't provoke the appetite and attention of other zombies.
Everything was going smoothly until she pushed the freezer past the second playground. Suddenly, something seemed to trip it up, and it couldn't move forward.
Nearby, there was a large group of corpses. Lu Jia couldn't stay here for long. Feeling tense, she glanced at the freezer, but didn't see anything. She thought it might have gotten stuck on grass or mud.
So, she took a deep breath, quietly increased her strength, and pushed the freezer forward.
As the freezer moved, the MP3 player that was originally blocked underneath it was forced to go over some rocks. However, the headphone wire became the next thing to get caught.
With Lu Jia's movements, the object in the socket gradually loosened. Until the freezer completely passed this "roadblock," the headphones were pulled off completely.
"Haha~"
"Haha~"
The MP3 player continued to play, and a voice that sounded like a martial artist's shout echoed into Lu Jia's ears. Then, a catchy melody followed.
The loud noise took away the peaceful atmosphere that Lu Jia was looking forward to.
The key is that it feels pretty good.
Over on the playground, the zombie heads started to swarm and looked towards Lu Jia with a desire to tear her apart.
They roared and rushed towards her, and the music also entered the main part with perfect timing.
{With each punch and palm strike, with each move and technique...}
......
Lu Jia didn't have time to figure out where the music was coming from. To make it easier to escape, the most important thing for her right now was to put the freezer on the muddy ground.
What's even more annoying is that she was clearly nervous, but while moving the freezer, her neck instinctively started to sway along with the melody.
"Roar~"
A group of zombies charged towards her, just as the music started playing, "Everyone is here, let's all attack together."
Lu Jia listened and started pushing the ice chest, running along. Were they trying to kill her?
Even though she ran fast when she reached the cement ground, the loud noises from the zombies on the playground attracted zombies from other places. Gradually, zombies appeared in front of Lu Jia, blocking her path.
Meanwhile, Su Mo, who was inside the ice chest, was still asleep.
Lu Jia didn't have the mood to comment on how good this person was at sleeping because a zombie that was getting close to her had already pounced towards her. Lu Jia quickly pulled out the sword from the ice chest, gripping it with both hands, and fiercely swung it at the zombie's head.
Brains splattered everywhere as the zombie heavily fell to the ground, motionless.
In front of her, without her holding onto it, the ice chest rolled down the slope on its own, taking Su Mo and the meat with it.
Only then did Lu Jia react and hurriedly chased after it.
