Chapter 7
Bang ~
Eventually, the door was lifted up. Countless feet trampled over it, making it tremble and squeak.
In the dormitory, there was a bed near the balcony door, and a bedsheet wrapped around it. The bedsheet extended to the balcony and connected to another one, which stretched further outside.
Because a large number of creatures rushed in, the bedsheet quickly got squeezed and pulled back several meters.
Those monsters quickly crowded onto the balcony, and only a few traces of blood that hadn't completely flowed into the drain remained on the sink.
The eyes that had lost their pupils roared and looked down towards the balcony. Except for the white bedsheet hanging on the balcony, there was nothing below.
Under this balcony, Su Mo hung on the clothesline wire of the third floor. Looking into the dormitory from the balcony, there was a monster wearing a yellow pleated skirt wandering around, occasionally let out a low growl.
Su Mo's hand on the wire was painfully squeezed, and the pain in her face made her almost lose consciousness. With her pale face and blood on one side, her appearance was even more terrifying than the monsters in the room.
Previously, the fear caused by the large number of monsters had overshadowed the impact of pain, successfully keeping her awake. But now, the pain stormed over and took the upper hand.
She clawed at the wire, trying to come down. The ends of the rusty wire that she held on her hands were already loosened where they connected to the wall, and now they moved even more vigorously.
Gripping the wire with both hands, Su Mo slowly put her feet down. Because the wire was close to the sink, but still at a certain distance, the best way was to stand on the sink and then release the wire.
As she moved, all the strength pressed onto the wire, and one of the wire nails was pulled out of the hole in the wall, with only a tiny bit buried in the wall.
Taking a deep breath, Su Mo hooked her left foot towards the sink, and even her left foot had crossed over the sink.
She should have tried to let go.
Bang~
Suddenly, the wire in her hand became soft, causing her body to be propelled forward by the inertia of the force, and her whole body plummeted downwards.
Boom~
Her left leg forcefully collided with the ceramic tiles of the water tank, and her head directly bumped into the bucket.
The arm that let go of the wire crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Uhh~"
Her face, torn and filled with pain, once again filled with tears.
Inside the dormitory, the moving monster heard the sound and turned to look.
With a low growl and a longing for Su Mo, she rushed towards the balcony.
Su Mo looked, fear flickering in her eyes. Ignoring the pain, she quickly pulled back her left leg from the washstand and looked around.
The monster lunged at her, but just as it was about to reach her, a pink bucket appeared in front of Su Mo, keeping the monster away.
The monster roared, but Su Mo stood her ground. Its hand was inches away from her, as if it was about to tear her apart.
The monster's breath was like a menacing whisper in her ear. Its blood-stained mouth exuded a horrifying aura, making her hair stand on end.
************************************************************************************
With red lips, she took a bite of an apple and chewed quickly. Lu Jia sat down beside Su Mo, causing the bed to creak.
Throughout the whole process, Su Mo kept looking at her, until Lu Jia handed another apple to Su Mo's mouth and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Not knowing if Su Mo understood her words or not, Su Mo slightly leaned forward and approached the apple.
Su Mo sniffed the thing in front of her and couldn't help but frown. Then she turned her head to the side, showing that she didn't like it.
Seeing this, Lu Jia couldn't help but take another bite of the apple. Then she stood up and walked to the food she found, one by one handing it to Su Mo, wanting to see what else this creature could eat besides people.
But this creature didn't eat anything at all, because Lu Jia knew that Su Mo was now a zombie. Lu Jia was prepared, but she really had the urge to scold Su Mo for being picky. It's not good for a zombie to be picky about food.
And this thought disappeared completely after Lu Jia finished eating two apples and her belly was full.
After packing up the food and putting it in different cupboards, Lu Jia instinctively covered them with clothes. She had the intention to hide them, after all, it was the end of the world.
After everything was done, Lu Jia was very satisfied. But behind her, there came a low growl.
Hearing that, Lu Jia quickly turned her head and made a hushing gesture to Su Mo. But Su Mo, clearly, didn't understand her actions and growled twice in a row.
Outside the bedroom, it seemed like there was a sound, which scared Lu Jia a lot. She quickly ran to Su Mo and covered her mouth.
It wasn't until she realized that she was covering the mouth of a zombie, and only after the footsteps passed, that she shivered and slowly removed her hand from Su Mo's mouth.
And even though Su Mo's face (or what was left of it) didn't look good, Lu Jia could tell that Su Mo was not feeling very comfortable at the moment.
Swallowing a gulp of saliva, Lu Jia watched Su Mo closely. Her heart skipped a beat.
Oh my goodness, is it angry now? Right now, in this very moment, Lu Jia regretted unplugging the internet cable. Without it, she felt trapped.
Little did she know, she heard a thud, and Su Mo punched her arm. Before she could understand what was happening, her arm was punched again. Lu Jia looked puzzled and wondered, what is this? Is it a punishment for being angry?
Then, the hand that Lu Jia had covered Su Mo's with was held tightly by Su Mo's hand. It felt cold and icy, which was quite comfortable in the hot months of June and July.
Just when Lu Jia was nervous and didn't know what Su Mo was going to do, Su Mo placed her hand on her bandaged belly, with the bandage in between.
At this very moment, in this scene, Lu Jia really wanted to ask without thinking, "How many months is the baby?"
But clearly, Su Mo didn't mean that.
With her hand on her belly, Lu Jia looked at Su Mo again. She even bit her lower lip, looking at Lu Jia earnestly.
Lu Jia felt a sense of unease as she looked at Su Mo. Her mind was in a state of confusion, but she could make a scary guess - was Su Mo trying to be playful with her?
Lu Jia didn't react for a long time, until Su Mo pinched her hand, causing her pain and snapping Lu Jia back to reality.
Su Mo stared at her with angry eyes, clearly upset.
Su Mo thought that the food was being naughty.
Lu Jia studied Su Mo, recalling all her unusual actions, and finally realizing something.
"Are you hungry?"
She just asked tentatively, but to her surprise, Su Mo obediently let go of her and nodded repeatedly, becoming even more well-behaved.
But Lu Jia looked at Su Mo, who was a bit confused. Su Mo was hungry, so what should she eat? Did she want her to go and catch someone?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head vigorously. That shouldn't be necessary.
Looking at the food in front of her without any reaction, Su Mo couldn't help but move closer to the food.
Before Lu Jia could react, someone had already grabbed her arm, and her face turned hot and moist.
Suddenly turning her head, Lu Jia looked at Su Mo who was still about to pounce on her and instinctively covered her own face, "Did you... brush your teeth?"
She was so embarrassed that her face turned red and her neck became thick, and she could only say this one sentence.
Su Mo looked at the strange behavior of the food, tilted her head, and questioned in her mind, "Huh?" She thought the food would be happy. It was happy before.
Lu Jia sarcastically responded, "Oh, yeah right. I was happy before because I knew you were helping me heal. Besides, you were just licking my hand then, but now you're upgrading to licking my face."
The zombie in front of her clearly didn't understand what she meant. Lu Jia also looked a bit helpless. She couldn't possibly tell a zombie that it was being a rogue.
Lu Jia felt Su Mo holding her hand and swinging it back and forth. Lu Jia was now certain that Su Mo was being playful.
Seeing that Lu Jia hadn't responded, Su Mo angrily let go of her hand and fell onto the bed with a loud thud. She started rolling around.
With her movements, the bed creaked and made a lot of noise in the quiet dormitory, even for things outside the dormitory, it was quite loud.
Sensing all of this, Lu Jia could imagine that there was a large group approaching her dormitory.
"Okay, okay, I'll find food for you. I'll find food for you," Lu Jia had to compromise in order to save herself, even though she didn't know how to find food at the moment.
After getting her response, Su Mo suddenly sat up and became well-behaved again.
Lu Jia couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment in her mind, "Finally, I understand that sentence."
Unable to resist the strong desire coming from Su Mo, Lu Jia involuntarily turned her head.
Finding food isn't so easy. Humans are definitely not an option. Maybe Su Mo would eat meat if it was offered.
She turned her head and looked at Su Mo again. After all, it was Su Mo. She thought about how Su Mo saved her and healed her injuries, and it seemed like Su Mo was the one who brought her back last night.
"I can go to the school cafeteria to see if they have any meat. I just don't know if you can eat it."
Su Mo clearly couldn't understand what she was saying, but she felt that Su Mo probably understood the general meaning.
Lu Jia stood up, and Su Mo quickly stood up too. Her hand tightly held onto Lu Jia's.
Lu Jia turned around and looked at Su Mo's swollen left leg. She gently pushed Su Mo back onto the bed and said, "You can't walk anymore, so don't make trouble for me."
She didn't care whether Su Mo understood or not. She said what she had to say.
After a while, the door of 417 slowly opened a little bit, and a pair of cautious eyes peeked out through the crack.
Outside the door, there were two zombies lying on the ground. Su Mo had dragged them out earlier, and they had already been shot through the heart.
As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of blood filled the air, making Lu Jia feel uncomfortable both in her heart and in her eyes.
Carefully, Lu Jia opened the door a bit more, then slowly stepped out with one foot.
