Chapter 42 Staying at Home
Liang Qiyue saw her typing away.
Somewhat curious, "Ji Zai, what's wrong with you? I feel like you've turned into a keyboard warrior online, arguing with people!"
It has to be said, this state is indeed similar.
Without even looking up, Ji Zai slowly stretched after typing the last word. "What do you know? We've all been scamming people online. If we don't portray ourselves as big shots, how can we justify the traffic we've spent?"
Liang Qiyue understood. "But aren't you afraid that someone might actually come knocking on your door?"
"In this weather, it's impossible to find it even if you wanted to, right?"
Liang Qiyue fell silent.
That's right.
At this temperature, no one will come out unless they want to die.
The outside temperature is already too low for humans to survive.
So Liang Qiyue didn't dwell on it and continued watching the show while munching on potato chips.
Ji Zai made this statement.
They started researching what to eat that day.
She lay lazily on the ground and asked, "July, do we have any food left?"
"Yes, besides rice, we also have military rations, compressed biscuits, drinks, and lots of potato chips and gummy candies as snacks after meals."
They had a lot of stock, all piled up on the bed.
Put one person aside.
Then they slept on the top bunk themselves.
The bed beneath the record was piled high with food, enough to feed her for roughly three months.
There is still water in the dormitory.
The water from the air conditioner was used to flush the toilet.
The remaining rice water is used to wash hair, brush teeth, wipe the body, wash clothes, and then flush the toilet.
The dormitory's water tank is currently full, and as long as they don't waste water like before, it should last them two to three months.
The fire hydrant has been shut off.
The entire building, except for their living quarters, is now filled with water buckets.
Because the south is full of greenery and trees, the car was placed in a corner of a building, which was surrounded by walls, so even if it spontaneously combusted, it wouldn't be able to cause a fire.
As for that sea of zombies that was recorded as being set ablaze.
Zhao Chenchen used a drone to check; the fire was raging, but there was no smoke, and it was completely black to the naked eye.
The fire burned for nearly three days.
Then, since there was nothing left to burn, it went out automatically.
This was the first time Zhao Chenchen's drone had ventured in this direction, leading to a startling discovery: the road leading up to their school had been blocked off.
The fire had two firebreaks. One was large, and the record states that before the fire started, they used tree branches to push the zombies out. Since only bones remained, it was quite easy to push them out.
However, it also took quite a bit of time.
This road is lined with universities, so it can be considered a university town, but it's a rather remote one.
They were all in the suburbs, on a single highway.
And we didn't even have time to plant any greenery.
So when the fire started, it spread outwards until it reached the firebreak.
This proves that zombies have almost completely blocked the road.
The situation can only be described as a sea of corpses.
That's terrifying.
Ji Zai yawned. She had no interest in anything happening outside or in Ning City. She only went online to show off how strong she was.
In other words, it's showing off.
These days, only the most powerful can attract those in the know.
Only when those in the know approach her can she find out what that group intends to do next.
Only by knowing what you want to know next can you know how to prevent it.
Therefore, going online is not the focus of her life.
It was just a necessary step for her to understand how to survive.
Her life revolves around what to eat each day.
As for what those conspirators want to do.
That's not something that Ji Zai could control.
Everything she did was simply to make herself live better in the apocalypse.
A month has passed since the apocalypse.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter.
It was sweltering outside, and Ji Zai needed to cover himself with a blanket when he went to sleep at night.
Three more days passed.
A loud bang came from somewhere.
This startled Ji Zai awake.
She quickly turned on the light.
A bright light.
Liang Qiyue was also startled awake by the sound. "What is that sound?"
"It was the sound of an explosion."
Ji Zai threw off the covers, then pushed open the glass door and went to the balcony.
Because the balcony is also enclosed by windows, a large portion of the heat is kept out.
She felt very hot as soon as she came out.
Upon hearing the words "explosion," Liang Qiyue's expression changed. "The sound was so close to us. Could it be that the enemy has reached us?"
As she was speaking, she saw Ji Zai standing outside the balcony with a furrowed brow.
She rushed over, "What's wrong?"
Ji Zai looked at the view outside the balcony. Flames were burning fiercely, fiery red, and it looked like hell on earth. "The whole outside is on fire."
Liang Qiyue saw it too.
This was the first time they had ever seen such a large-scale fire.
I have no idea what the situation is like outside.
Watching this scene, Ji Zai picked up a bottle of beverage and said, "In the 18th century, the experimental physiologist Bryden from Country Y conducted an experiment to determine the highest temperature the human body can withstand..."
"In order to obtain the most accurate data, he conducted self-experiments."
"The final result shows that in a dry environment, a person can stay in a 120-degree Celsius greenhouse for 15 minutes..."
After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you think the temperature is outside right now?"
Even Liang Qiyue couldn't be sure.
All she knew was that without this air conditioner...
She's definitely one of those people who spontaneously combusts.
Ji Zai felt thirsty just looking at the sparks. She drank her cool beverage and went back to her dormitory.
I checked the time.
Five o'clock in the morning.
This time of year is typically cool.
To my surprise, when I opened the window, I saw a sky full of sparks.
Ji Zai couldn't sleep, so she got up and did a set of Tai Chi to relax her muscles and bones, and then finished a bottle of beverage.
She looked at her stockpiled goods, but had no appetite.
But they couldn't sleep, so they had to get up and wash clothes. These days, they had stockpiled a lot of rice water.
This rice water is used to rinse rice repeatedly.
It turned milky white.
Ji Zai casually picked up the dirty clothes, but when she saw her black and white coat, she was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this the coat she wore when she burned the zombies?
She remembered receiving a USB drive from the zombie named Old White.
She looked around and found it.
It was wrapped in a tissue.
I put the USB drive on the table, and then washed my clothes and dried my hands.
I sprayed disinfectant onto the USB drive.
Only then did I dare to start.
Insert the USB drive into the computer.
Open it.
Then I saw that it was filled with countless folders.
When Ji Zai opened it, he saw a video. Although it was blurry, he could still tell that it was the zombie named Lao Bai.
Liang Qiyue also came over to take a look.
The two squinted.
Click on that video.
He said with a horrified expression, "He's gone mad! The teacher has gone mad! He actually believes he can create a way to make humans immortal! It's insane! The virus is out of control now. By the time the higher-ups discovered it, he had already spread it throughout the entire city..."
"He wants to use the entire city of Ning as his laboratory."
"Using people as experimental subjects..."
