Chapter 219 Picking up a boy
Everyone was silent for a while, and Song Huaijin spoke first, "Let's fly to the capital first, and then see if we can find the base."
Director Wang chuckled, "It would be great if we could find the base. Then we could get everyone out of the space."
After driving for a few more hours, Lin Xi was worried that the helicopter was out of fuel, so she reminded Director Wang to find a place to stop, refuel, and change drivers.
Not long after, I saw a city below. It was quite large. This was in the northwest, and a city of this size was probably a provincial capital.
The city was in ruins. Director Wang circled in the air for a while and found an open space that looked like a school playground and some flat areas, so he stopped the helicopter.
Song Huaijin and Qi Mo refueled the helicopter.
Lin Xi looked around and found that the place was empty. There were no people or zombies in sight.
"This place looks like a school. Wait, do you think there's a lab here? I want to test the two bottles of water we collected."
Song Huaijin thought for a moment and said, "Ask Xu Lin's wife. I remember she is a lecturer in the biology department."
Lin Xi entered the space and found Xu Lin's wife Jiang Qin to ask about it. Jiang Qin said, "I can do the test."
"But we need a laboratory, some reagents, a microscope, and so on."
Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go find a laboratory first. If we find one later, please do some testing."
Jiang Qin nodded, "No problem."
After Lin Xi came out, he put away the helicopter and the group walked towards a building.
Half of the building collapsed. Several people saw a propaganda board in front of the building. The glass was broken and the paper on it was flying in the wind.
Song Huaijin pulled it off and took a look, then raised his eyebrows. "We're lucky. This is Qingzhou University. There must be a laboratory there."
Lin Xi became happy, "Then let's find it quickly."
A few people wandered around the campus, occasionally seeing the corpses of zombies on the ground. Everyone walked around for fear of contracting the virus. As they were walking around, Lin Xi suddenly said, "There is someone in that room."
Everyone looked over and saw a young man hiding behind a window in a bungalow, watching them.
Lin Xi and the others walked over. The young man did not open the window and his eyes were very alert.
Lin Xi smiled at the boy, "You live here? Where are your parents?"
When the young man heard Lin Xi's voice, which was soft and gentle, he lowered his guard a lot.
He stared at Lin Xi for two seconds and said, "I'm the only one left in my family."
Lin Xi was a little embarrassed. "Um, sorry, I wanted to ask where the biochemistry laboratory of this school is."
The boy looked at Lin Xi in confusion, "I know where the lab is, but what are you going to do?"
Lin Xi whispered, "I want to do a test to see if the water contaminated by zombies contains any viruses."
When the boy heard the word water, he couldn't help but lick his lips.
He only drank half a glass of water the whole day and was very thirsty, but he didn't dare go out.
Lin Xi saw his movements and took out a bottle of water and shook it at him, "Take us to the laboratory, this bottle of water is for you."
The boy stared at the bottle of water longingly, then looked at Lin Xi.
He quickly opened the door and came out, took the water, drank a big sip happily, then screwed the lid tightly and put it in his arms.
Lin Xi extended her hand and shook his. "Hello, my name is Lin Xi."
The young man held Lin Xi's hand and nodded, "Hello, my name is Yu Huai."
"Come on, I'll take you there."
As they walked, Lin Xi chatted with Yu Huai.
"Why don't you hide in the shelter? It should be safer there. Besides, there probably isn't much food left at school."
Yu Huai's voice was a little low. "Who doesn't want to hide in a shelter? However, the shelter here can't accommodate everyone."
"My parents and I went to the countryside to pick up our grandparents, but they refused to go into the city with us."
"When we returned to the city, it was too late. The shelter was full of people and we couldn't get in. Even the door was closed."
Lin Xi asked in surprise: "Then where are you hiding?"
Yu Huai sighed, "My parents and I are hiding in the passage outside the shelter."
"It's right outside, and the entire aisle is packed with people."
Lin Xi couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you see the meteorite fall with your own eyes?"
Yu Huai nodded, "At that moment, the sky seemed to have darkened a lot, and stones fell from the sky like rain."
"Someone outside the shelter was hit by a meteorite and started bleeding. Not long after, he turned into a zombie."
Lin Xi seemed to be thinking, "Did you see with your own eyes that people who were hit by meteorites and bleeding turned into zombies?"
Yu Huai nodded vigorously, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
"I was squeezed in the entrance of the passage, which was similar to the entrance of the subway. I saw it through the gaps in the crowd."
Director Wang continued, "It seems that this zombie virus may be transmitted through blood."
Yu Huai nodded. "Yes, I also saw that after zombies bit through the blood vessels of normal people, it didn't take long for the normal people to turn into zombies."
"My dad said that this virus originally existed on meteorites. After the meteorites smashed into people's heads, the virus entered their bloodstream and turned them into zombies."
As if afraid that Lin Xi and the others wouldn't believe him, Yu Huai said seriously, "My father is a professor in the biology department."
He smiled sadly, "But my parents were bitten by zombies and turned into zombies too. Luckily I ran fast and didn't get bitten."
"I've been hiding here for several days."
Lin Xi asked, "Are you a student of Qingzhou University?"
Yu Huai shook his head. "I'm still a high school student. My dad is a professor at Qingzhou University. My family lives in the school's teacher dormitory, but the house over there has collapsed. I found some food and saw that this bungalow was okay, so I moved in here."
Lin Xi looked around and said, "It seems that there are not many zombies in the school."
Yu Huai gave a bitter laugh. "This is the suburbs after all, and the zombies are concentrated in the city, especially near the shelters and subway stations. At that time, many people couldn't get into the shelters, so they hid in the subway stations. You'll know when you go there. There are really a lot of zombies there."
"If I hadn't gotten a car and started running rampant, I would have turned into a zombie a long time ago."
Yu Huai pointed to a three-story building in front and said, "That's the laboratory. Fortunately, there's not much damage."
Just as they were about to go upstairs, a zombie suddenly rushed out from a room with an open door, emitting an unpleasant fishy smell. Lin Xi pulled Yu Huai behind her and was about to release the wind blade when the zombie flew out by itself and hit the wall heavily.
At the same time, a green light flew over and cut off the zombie's head.
Lin Xi looked back and saw that Qi Mo and Song Huaijin had withdrawn their hands at the same time.
She smiled at the two of them and continued walking forward.
Yu Huai was sandwiched between several people.
He kept looking at Lin Xi and the others, "Are you all superpowered?"
