“Help! Help me! Open the door!”

The knock on the door was quicker than ever.

Qin Lang and the others all looked at each other. Qin Lang walked to the door, while Ling Liang picked up the drying clothes pole.

Qin Lang just turned the doorknob and was about to open a crack to check the situation when the door was knocked open by someone outside. Qin Lang couldn’t get out of the way in time so the door hit his arm directly, making him take a few steps back.

The person who rushed in, forehead was covered with sweat. He immediately closed the door after he came in.

Ling Liang gave Yu Chao a wink, and gave him the drying clothes pole in his hand, then he went to see how Qin Lang is.

Qin Lang rolled up his sleeves. The skin in his arm was peeled off as blood flowed out. Ling Liang’s face suddenly turned cold.

The visitor leaned his back against the door panel, and heaved a sigh of relief. He was caught off guard by Ling Liang’s gaze. He looked at Qin Lang, who was covering his arms, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry…And thank you for willing to open the door to save me.”

Although Qin Lang was a little annoyed because he was accidentally bruised while trying to help someone, he was not a person who cares too much about these. He waved his hand and said, “Forget it, it’s fine. Have you been infected?”

He was afraid those few people would kicked him out and immediately answered, saying, “I’m alright, if you don’t believe me…”

“…Yu Chao took him to the bathroom to check.” Ling Liang silently pushed Qin Lang’s head aside, and spoke to Yu Chao.

Qin Lang looked at Ling Liang suspiciously. It’s strange, he thought about this kind of behavior. This is obviously because he doesn’t want him to see another man’s body, right?

Zhang Mao listened to the movement outside the door, and said weakly: “It seems that someone is calling for help at the other end of the corridor…”

The boy who was going to the bathroom immediately said: “Don’t open the door! I saw the person behind me get bitten with my own eyes. Don’t open it, or we will be finished.”

They all looked at each other and noticed that something was wrong.

Xiao Fei: “There’s no sound in the corridor…They should have gone somewhere else.”

Soon the boy and Yu Chao came out of the bathroom. Yu Chao shook his head to indicate that there were no bites or scratches.

“My name is Wang Lei, and I’m a sophomore majoring in journalism.” This person is not too tall, with a thin body, a pair of single eyelids and small eyes, very ordinary facial features. Maybe it was because of his first impression when he entered the door, he seemed a little cowardly.

While introducing himself, he stared straight at the food on the table. He had been hungry for two days. The look in his eyes when he saw the food was a little scary.

After the riots in several dormitory buildings gradually subsided, new voices came from several dormitories.

“Building 2, 304, 6 people, safe.”

“Building 1, 212, 5 people, safe.”

.…..

A great number of people, about fifty people, managed to escape into the new dorm room. There’s more than 100 people who rushed out of the dorms room, some encountered zombies directly when rush out so they couldn’t escape from the room. A dozen or so disappeared, maybe they were hiding in some corner and didn’t dare make a sound, or they are likely to encounter some misfortune.

After these people reported that they were safe, a grief-stricken and desperate scream suddenly appeared on the 6th floor, that is, Qin Lang’s building: “Fuck! That bastard who just pushed lao tzu into a zombie! Lao tzu curses your dog’s life to not have a good death!”

After a series of rescue incidents yesterday and today, this is the first time that the dormitory buildings have heard incidents of people using others to save themselves. Although most people had expected it, it was still shocking to hear it.

“Dude, what’s going on?”

“Ha, what’s going on? Look what happened to me?” The boy stretched out his bloody arm. Even though it was night, even though he was standing against the light on the balcony, the blood that was still dripping down, toc toc, from his left arm couldn’t be ignored.

“There were some zombies in the corridor. Our group was divided and separated so I just ran upstairs with a guy because I had the key to the sixth floor. However, we met a zombie on the fourth floor. That zombie rushed toward us directly, the result is…that guy pushed me and ran away by himself.” He laughed when he said this, “Fuck! What a cowardly act! There’s a whole box of snacks in lao tzu’s bedroom. You fucking idiot! Lao tzu will watch how you live from below!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped down from the sixth floor.

The figure swayed from Qin Lang and the others’ sight on the balcony, and soon, with a “peng”, he exploded in front of the dormitory building, followed by the sound of zombies rushing towards the origin of the sound, and then the sound of zombies eating.

Several dormitories were silent. No one thought that this person would jump like this without warning.

“Fuck!” Yu Chao grabbed Wang Lei’s collar. His eyes fill with anger, wishing to beat the man immediately, “You did it, right! You’re the only one on the fourth floor!”

Zhang Mao thought again. Seeing those infected people eating from the dorm room, he couldn’t help shaking, “Heaven… so the one who jumped off the building just now was the one calling for help in the corridor?”

Wang Lei saw Qin Lang and the others looking at him with contempt, he swallowed his saliva: “I… I have no choice. Please don’t drive me out, I don’t want to die. I’m so hungry, please give me something to eat.”

Yu Chao pushed him hard, “Fuck!”

Although they knew how hateful such selfish people were, they still couldn’t really drive him out. After all, if he were driven out, he would die, so what’s the difference between killing him? They’re just a bunch of college students, they don’t have that kind of ruthlessness.

But this person is obviously someone they should guard against. If he can push that classmate today, he might push them to delay the zombies in the future.

There was still some porridge from the evening, which was originally reserved by Ling Liang for Qin Lang, but at this time, they didn’t want Wang Lei to find out that they had more food.

Desperate situations can make people burst out with courage and strength, but they can often breed darkness. Even in the past, when disasters occurred in some places, some people would grieve, some would donate money to hope that their compatriots would tide over the difficulties, but some were indifferent and didn’t care. What’s more, now that there are zombies?

The second night of the virus outbreak was even more difficult than the first.

The boys’ dormitories are no better than the girls’ dormitories. Most people don’t like to eat snacks and stock up on food. There are occasionally a few bags of instant noodles in the dorm room, but how long can a few bags of instant noodles last?

On the third day, many people had no food. And last night, Qin Lang and Xiao Fei took advantage of when the new roommates fell asleep, to put the biscuits they left behind in a bag and locked them in the cabinet.

On the boring and depressing third day, no one spoke on the balcony, and there was still no rescue. The school’s announcement has been quiet except for the first day’s notice. It was so quiet that it was scary, so quiet that it could not help but make people suspicious, wondering if they had been forgotten by the school from hiding in the dormitory building.

On the other side of the teaching building, was it already organized and they already left by car? And because the broadcast may be broken, so no one dares to come in, no one comes to tell them to leave?

They can only stay in the dormitory, hugging themselves tightly, not daring to go out, lack of food, waiting for hope for a long time, but never seeing hope.

After Ling Liang’s two days of caring, Qin Lang had almost recovered.

In the afternoon, he took advantage of when the new roommate curled up in a chair to sleep, to take the few tools in the bedroom and turned them into weapons.

Ling Liang didn’t ask anything when he saw it, and came to help together.

Xiao Fei asked in a low voice, “Brother Lang, what are you doing?”

Qin Lang slashed the broom with a fruit knife and replied, “We are six people now, and there are not many rice and noodles left. That guy is a dangerous person. I don’t really want to be in the same space with him anymore.”

Ling Liang continued with his words: “Today is the third day. The network communication has not been restored, and there is no rescue. We may not be able to wait any longer. We must find a way out before the food is finished. Tomorrow night, we will go to my room. My room is on the back side. The zombies all concentrated on the front of the dormitory building. If we go down from the balcony on my side, the chances of encountering them should be much less.”

Xiao Fei and Zhang Mao both showed hesitation. Yu Chao nodded in agreement, “Together?”

Qin Lang looked at Wang Lei: “I don’t want to go with that guy.”

Yu Chao smiled disdainfully: “We have food and water here, and it is safe, even if we ask him, he might not want to leave either. We just had to leave the rice and noodles for him, maybe he’ll be happy?”

So the five people tentatively settled on the transfer plan.

Although Zhang Mao is a freshman, he has a very strong hands-on ability. Unlike Qin Lang who sharpened the broom wooden stick, he took a few hangers and peeled off the rubber on the surface to expose the thick iron wire inside. This powerful helper unscrewed several hangers from the joints, and then twisted the two ends together. The original curved shape of the back of the hanger became a handle, which can be used as a small iron rod, and can also be used to pierce and stab.

In the evening, someone couldn’t stand the hunger and howled, begging the nearby dorm to throw him some food. However, his upper, lower, left, and right four bedrooms are all empty, which shows how bad his luck is.

But even if there is, it is estimated that no one will share the food so generously at this time. Everyone wants to live.

But not everyone has the perseverance to persevere.

On the third night of the virus outbreak, people began to jump from the male dormitory buildings.

Students, who are used to living with enough food and clothing, and those, who have not yet stepped into the society and experienced hardships and setbacks, in the long and dead night, in hunger and loneliness, in helplessness and despair, they finally couldn’t stand it.

“Peng peng peng——” As if it was planned, after the first one jumped down, several others jumped down one after another.

“Fuck!” Xiao Fei cried silently and collapsed, “Don’t you fucking jump! Are you stupid? You didn’t get bitten, why are you jumping!”

“Please, stop jumping!” Li Bin trembled. He pursed his lips and knelt on the balcony, crying silently. He was also alone in the bedroom. What calm and strong, after three days of hopeless waiting, he finally couldn’t maintain it.

He also had nothing to eat, only half a bar of chocolate. As the student council president, of course he did not have any illegal electrical appliances, and the water he drank in the past few days was only half a bottle of boiled water. Tomorrow, he doesn’t know how he will survive.

The choking and sobbing on the balconies of several dormitory buildings and the sound of the bodies of the students who jumped downstairs being divided into food rang out on this quiet autumn night.

Qin Lang’s eyes were red, and he said loudly, “Tomorrow night, at 1 am, we will be waiting for you in the security room in front of the dormitory building! The goal is the fourth canteen. We can’t live without food, you should decide for yourself whether you should take the risk or not.”

Ling Liang patted Qin Lang on the shoulder and said to the opposite side: “Li Bin, cheer up.”

Hearing about the cafeteria, many people swallowed in unison. That’s right, the cafeteria. With so many meals to prepare every day, it must have stored a lot of food. Starve to death or fight? Many were shaken.

But there are some people in the dormitory who have enough food or are too timid to try it. After all, those zombies are too scary. When they think of their flesh being bitten by them, their scalps can’t help but tingle.

“Are you going out of the dormitory?” Wang Lei looked at the five people, looking at them as if he was looking at a fool.

Ling Liang: “It’s fine if you don’t want to go.”

Wang Lei glanced at the five people vigilantly.

Qin Lang snorted: “Don’t worry, there are so many things in the cafeteria, I’ll leave these to you.”

Wang Lei waved his hands quickly: “I don’t mean that. I’m just worried about you…You all know how terrifying the zombies outside are. But since you have already decided, I don’t want to say anything else. I wish you a safe journey.”

“Huh.” The eyes of the five people showed disgust invariably.

Qin Lang glanced at Ling Liang, and Ling Liang instantly understood what he meant. He went back to the balcony and reconfirmed with Li Bin the meeting time and place for tomorrow night and several other plans, before going back to the house to start packing.

“Aren’t you going to leave tomorrow night?” Wang Lei watched from the side, obviously afraid that they would pack something to eat.

Before, Qin Lang had already packed biscuits and the like, with two pieces of clothes. He opened the cabinet and put the bag on his back.

Yu Chao picked up Zhang Mao’s rope. Xiao Fei and Zhang Mao were holding the modified weapons, while Ling Liang had already opened the door and inspected the corridor to see if it was safe.

No one was willing to answer Wang Lei.

Wang Lei smiled disdainfully.

Ling Liang turned his head and nodded to the few people. They left the dormitory together. As soon as Ling Liang opened the door of his dormitory, the room on Qin Lang’s side was closed, and they seemed to hear the lock locked neatly.

It was locked directly. If they encounter an emergency, it means that they will be directly abandoned outside the door, and they won’t have a way out!

“Trash!” The five scolded in their hearts.
