CH 93

Chapter 93 - Whatever, embarrassing herself wasn't a big deal if she could find out if Du Ruo was infected (1)

Jiang Xu had already taken off the isolation suit. He sighed. "His condition is too special. It looks like he's infected, but it also looks like he's not infected. Can you guys stay here for a few more hours? I think he'll definitely mutate before it gets dark."

Du Ruo felt wronged. "I bet 40 yuan that I won't mutate."

Bei Nuan quickly patted his shoulder and said, "I'll add 40 yuan too."

Lu Xingchi didn't want to waste time here. He refused, "We still have things to do…"

Jiang Xu rushed to say, "I tried a broad-spectrum antiviral drug on two students a few days ago. I think it was able to delay the mutation. Do you guys want to try it?"

He had medicine? Why didn't he say that earlier?

Everyone was immediately interested. There were no other options right now. As long as there was the slightest hope, Du Ruo would try it.

The medicine came in an injection form. Du Ruo wasn't at ease. He repeatedly asked about the medicine. Since he didn't feel assured with Jiang Xu or Lu Xingchi's giving him the shot, he ended up giving himself the shot. Afterwards, not even candy could clear away his unhappiness at getting a shot.

Since Du Ruo's condition was too special, Jiang Xu discussed it with the students that were in charge to have Bei Nuan and the others stay in the second floor's small cafeteria.

Just in case Du Ruo suddenly mutated, the door was locked on the outside. Someone guarded the door outside, so if the people inside wanted to go to the bathroom, they could always call for the guard to unlock the door.

Tang Tang was willing to stay with them and risk getting infected by Du Ruo. It was a rare trait to be willing to stay with strangers for better or for worse.

While waiting for Jiang Xu to collect samples from Du Ruo, Jiang Fei had pulled Tang Tang to the side to talk in private about what happened with his dad.

Tang Tang's eyes were red from crying, but he was very calm.

Tang Tang shared with them that the zombie outbreak had occurred during morning class time. He had skipped class that morning to sleep in the dorm and escaped disaster that way.

Eventually, he ran out of crackers in his room. He searched all over the building, but he didn't find anyone else, only some snacks. He had enough food to make do, but there were too many zombies outside. He had tried to sneak past them several times, but he couldn't get out.

The door to the dorm wasn't strong. It didn't look like it would last long.

Tang Tang said, "Sooner or later, they would break down the front door. Rather than hiding in the dorm like a bug and slowly starve to death or be eaten by them, I might as well go out with a bang while I have strength."

"So you're hungry, right?" Bei Nuan quickly rummaged through her pocket space and took out a plate of pan-fried meat buns that Jiang Fei had made this morning. She had put the pan-fried meat buns into her pocket space right after it was made, and it was still fresh and piping hot when she took them out.

The buns were round and pan-fried to a golden brown on the bottom. They were topped with finely sprinkle sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions. The buns' delicious smell filled their noses.

As Tang Tang held the plate of pan-fried dumplings, his black eyes sparkled. "What kind of celestial beings are you guys?"

Bei Nuan had never seen anyone scarf down pan-fried buns so quickly. Before she had time to take out chopsticks and a saucer of vinegar, he had already gobbled down the buns.

He really was very hungry.

Bei Nuan handed him a bottle of water. She let him wait a moment, and then she poured vinegar into a saucer before taking out another plate of pan-fried buns.

Tang Tang was moved to tears.
