"302, the police have distributed supplies. I'm here to distribute supplies to everyone. Open the door!" It was the dormitory supervisor's voice.
"Ningning." Cheng Sui grasped Jiang Ning's hand, her palms already damp with a fine layer of sweat: "The people outside..."
When they came to inform us about the apocalypse, the police were in uniform, going door-to-door in each building. How could it be that the dormitory supervisor was distributing the supplies?
The dormitory supervisor will probably be locked in her room and won't be able to get out.
"Click, click, click..."
A rustling sound came from outside the door, sending chills down the spines of the three people in the dormitory. They all recognized it as the sound of a key being inserted into the lock.
It really does look like the dormitory supervisor outside the door.
She actually had a key and tried to come in!
"Weren't the early zombies supposed to be mindless? What's going on?" Cheng Sui asked in a low voice.
When Shi Yin wasn't around, Jiang Ning was the strongest fighter, Cheng Sui was the smartest, and Wen Jinxue was responsible for being cute.
In the early days of the apocalypse, Cheng Sui tried to seal the windows on the door with wooden boards and clothes, sealing three sides of the door. However, he didn't seal the bottom of the door because he was afraid that it would be difficult to open the door and that it would be inconvenient to escape through the door if the window broke.
However, just in case, no one dared to turn on the dormitory lights, but instead turned on their phones.
The school's group chats have exploded with messages flooding in.
[Did any of you receive supplies from the dorm supervisor? I was sleeping so soundly that she knocked on the door for ages before I finally got out of bed, so I didn't open it.]
[Don't open the door! I felt something was wrong with the dorm supervisor, so I didn't open it. Because I blocked the door with something, she couldn't open it with her key. Shortly after, I heard a scream from the neighbor next door!]
[Weren't zombies supposed to be mindless in the early post-apocalyptic world? Why can they pick locks?!]
[Didn't you guys read the zombie handbook? Ordinary zombies have no intelligence, but there are two very special zombies: one is a highly violent berserker, and the other is a manipulator with some basic intelligence!!]
No wonder she spent ages turning her key in front of my door. I was wondering why she was being so slow; luckily I blocked the door!
It's 3:30 in the evening, and it's still pitch black outside.
Jiang Ning glanced at the shoes she had stepped into the unknown liquid, slowly pulled her feet out, found a new pair of shoes behind her, put them on, and slowly moved to the window, lifting a corner of the curtain.
With just one glance, Jiang Ning's expression changed.
The school, which was quiet and orderly just yesterday, has now become a living hell. For some reason, many out-of-control zombies have escaped, and their numbers are significantly greater. The guards who used to watch over every building have now disappeared.
"What happened? The police have all disappeared." Jiang Ning withdrew his hand, his forehead slightly sweaty. "My abilities are very limited. I'm not even sure if I can go out and call for help."
She just glanced at her phone; the signal was very weak. She had just tried to send a text message, but it kept spinning and hadn't been able to send it yet.
Jiang Ning's ability is only sensing; at most, it can only help her kill zombies. It doesn't have any large-area damage skills. If she were surrounded by zombies, it would be really difficult for her to get Cheng Sui and Wen Jinxue away.
Wen Jinxue also leaned closer to the window, peeked through a corner of the curtain, then covered her mouth and backed away, her face pale.
A group of half-naked zombies wandered around the school's flowerbeds and roads, their clothes torn, revealing clear bluish-gray spots on their skin.
It seems that after becoming a zombie, not only do they lose their hair, but their muscles also atrophy. Their muscles and skin are stuck to their bones, making them look extremely thin. However, their bones, body shape, and the strength of their muscles are also different.
The glance Wen Jinxue had just made revealed a group of zombies devouring a human.
Humans can turn into zombies if they are injured and infected by zombies, but only if they survive.
Zombies don't feel hunger, but they maintain their vitality by eating flesh and blood. When they feel their vitality is depleted, they will be particularly eager to devour flesh and blood. At this time, it is generally difficult for a human to have a complete corpse. Being torn apart by five horses is the least severe punishment. They are basically eaten piece by piece.
Just like Lin Beiyue in her previous life.
"Why are the police gone now? Shouldn't they be clearing out the zombies?" Wen Jinxue said in a trembling voice, "I remember there were zombie outbreaks right after the meteorite passed by, and the police went door to door using detectors to find and clear them out."
"Let's call for help now. Although the signal is very weak, we should still be able to find a way." Jiang Ning was a little anxious: "Sui Sui, do you know how to make something to strengthen the unloading? Or can you think of a way?"
"Don't bother trying, we've been abandoned." Cheng Sui's voice came from the other side. She had been watching from the other side ever since Jiang Ning lifted the curtains to look down.
Jiang Ning replaced Wen Jinxue, which startled Wen Jinxue. However, Cheng Sui calmly observed the situation under the window throughout the process, keeping a close eye on it, and adapted better than the other two.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Ning and Wen Jinxue looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Just two days into the apocalypse, the police had already cleared out all the zombies in every area with zombie detectors. Everyone saw it when the professionals arrived." Cheng Sui lowered the bed curtains and calmly said, "The country's cleanup methods are absolutely flawless. So where do you think the problem lies?"
"You mean the zombies were man-made? Not just because of the meteorite?" Jiang Ning suddenly realized, "And the problem originated at the school?"
“Yes, the problem lies here.” Cheng Sui nodded: “I glanced out the window before going to sleep yesterday, and the police were still there. But when I woke up after falling asleep, the police had already left. The fact that they left in such a short time shows that they were organized and methodical, and it was definitely not a sudden decision.”
"So, the zombies were man-made, and the police withdrawal was also man-made." Cheng Sui sat down on a chair and poured himself a glass of water. "I always feel that it has something to do with Shi Yin."
"What!...What?" Wen Jinxue almost exclaimed, but then she realized there were zombies outside and immediately lowered her voice.
"It's just a feeling." Cheng Sui shook his head: "If the problem lies with us, the best solution is indeed to withdraw the guards and let things in the school relax their vigilance."
However, this would sacrifice many people, essentially meaning that the person giving the order would abandon the students of the school and leave them to fend for themselves.
All three fell silent.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the window, startling all three of them. They pulled back a small corner of the curtain to peek out, and their expressions changed.
Two massive zombies, each at least 2.5 meters tall, were tearing apart a smaller zombie. They didn't seem to be thinking clearly; they were just eating frantically.
They not only eat humans but also their own kind. As the two giants ate, their muscles swelled up, and eventually, a strange red hue could be seen peeking out from under their bluish-gray skin.
"roar----"
"Hiss." Cheng Sui covered her ears and stumbled to the side.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ning quickly helped Cheng Sui up.
"My ear just hurt a little," Cheng Sui shook her head.
"Look!" Wen Jinxue exclaimed softly. The two looked out the window again and their eyes widened in surprise.
The two zombies, which had clearly appeared to be extremely ferocious, suddenly quieted down and walked into the building one after the other.
