Qin Qing fell to the ground and tried to get up, wielding the machete in her right hand frantically. But after she killed the zombie in front of her, more zombies swarmed behind her. Blood flowed from her left hand, and she knew it was from a cut artery. Her fingers were still stiff, grasping, but they were completely devoid of feeling. Her last bit of strength was gone, and the zombies only increased, not decreased.
Before she lost consciousness, she saw Li Yuyao standing behind the security door with a frightened look on her face.
When Qin Qing regained consciousness, her eyelids felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, and her head felt dizzy. A thought flashed through her mind: Wasn't she mauled to death by a zombie? Could it be that she wasn't dead? It was said that those who survived zombie bites had developed supernatural powers. Could it be that she was one of them? The thought amused her. She wondered what Li Yuyao's expression would be when she saw she was still alive!
As her thoughts drifted away, her consciousness gradually cleared, and she could hear the sounds of people moving around. The voices were incredibly loud, and she even heard someone singing. After the apocalypse, who would dare to sing so loudly? Was this inside the base? Had she been rescued?
Qin Qing gathered her consciousness and forced her eyes open amidst her wandering thoughts. All she saw was a bed frame made of several wooden planks placed on an iron frame. She froze for a moment. Wasn't this the familiar bed frame she'd used to on her upper bunk in her school dormitory? She stiffened her neck and glanced to the side. On the bunk opposite her, she saw a plump girl holding a CD player, swaying her upper body to the throbbing rock music blaring from the player.
Shen Kexin? Didn't she die after being pushed into a zombie apocalypse while trying to escape after the apocalypse? Qin Qing's mind was suddenly confused. Before she could figure out what was going on, she saw the bathroom door slam open.
A girl wearing sportswear and a skinny, high-waisted hairstyle walked out angrily.
"Chen Kexin, you use the toilet and don't flush it? Do you know anything about public morality? This is a dormitory, not your pigsty." Fang Fang put her hands on her hips and yelled at Chen Kexin.
Chen Kexin threw the CD player onto the bed, stood up and yelled back, "Which eye of yours saw that it was my shit?"
"Fang Fang?" Qin Qing was startled upon seeing her. He sat up abruptly and tried to stand, forgetting he was sleeping on the lower bunk. His head slammed against the upper bunk's board. The earth-shattering "bang" made the two men, who had been fighting like cockfighting cocks, turn in shock and look at Qin Qing, who was clutching her head, tears streaming down her face from the pain.
"Qin Qing, what are you doing? Are you so depressed that you bang your head against the bed frame?" Shen Kexin came to her senses and couldn't help but mock him.
Fang Fang quickly stepped forward and tried to touch Qin Qing's head, scolding her, "Qin Qing, you scared me to death! You had a fever last night and refused to go to the hospital. I was planning to ask the teachers to carry you to the hospital if you didn't wake up."
Qin Qing grabbed Fang Fang's outstretched hand, preventing her from touching her forehead. Ignoring the pain in her head, she surveyed her surroundings warily. Her bed was next to the window, where a table sat, with a half-eaten bucket of instant noodles from a certain chef.
Next to the bucket of instant noodles was a digital alarm clock, which clearly displayed 2016... September 20th... 10:47?? !!
Fang Fang felt the hand gripping her getting tighter and tighter, and she couldn't help but pull it out with all her strength. Then she said hesitantly, "Qin Qing? Are you... okay?" She couldn't help but take a step back. Seeing Fang Fang's fake fairy look, Shen Kexin couldn't help but curl her lips.
Hearing Fang Fang's question, Qin Qing lowered his head and lowered his eyelids, shielding his eyes filled with depression and suspicion. What on earth was going on? Qin Qing took a deep breath and slowly said, "It's okay, I have a headache. I need to rest for a while!"
Chen Kexin snorted, stood up, took the CD, and slammed the door to go out. Fang Fang thought for a moment and said, "Then you take a rest first, I'll go out for a while." She rubbed her wrist that was pinched red, and although she was holding her breath, she still went out.
Seeing that the dormitory was empty, Qin Qing breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed backwards! Was she back to the time before the apocalypse? She remembered clearly that today was her birthday, but the night before, she had a fever and was sick. Only Shen Kexin and Fang Fang were in the dormitory, and they hadn't thought of calling a teacher for her or taking her to the hospital.
The next day she was so sick that she couldn't get up. Zhao Chunze came to find her and found out that she was sick, so he hurriedly sent her to the school doctor. It was then that she opened her heart to Zhao Chunze.
But she hadn't known it then. Fang Fang, because she liked Zhao Chunze, was secretly jealous of her. She treated her as a good friend on the surface, but secretly, she had set countless obstacles for her. It was just that Fang Fang wasn't so lucky after the apocalypse. She was bitten and turned into a zombie, and she was the first zombie she killed. That's why Qin Qing was so surprised when she saw her just now.
Qin Qing thought of this and raised her hand to rub the top of her head, which had been hurting from the collision. However, her eyes were drawn to a strange color. She looked intently and saw a circle on the palm of her left hand, as if someone had drawn it—a white circle with a hint of emerald green.
She couldn't help but blink. Didn't she remember having such a birthmark on the palm of her hand? She couldn't help but rub the palm of her left hand with her right hand. Suddenly, her eyes blurred and she found herself in an unfamiliar space. She was originally lying down, but she was standing. This space was square, but there was a vast white mist all around, and she couldn't see clearly what was outside the white mist. There was a piece of mud about two centimeters in size at the edge, but there was nothing in the mud. In the middle of this courtyard, there was an octagonal well, the kind you see in ancient costume movies. The ground next to the well was made of stone slabs, but the water in the well was within reach.
The water in the well was crystal clear. Qin Qing swallowed, then stepped forward, scooped up a handful of water, and took a sip. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately lowered her head and began to drink. You know, in the apocalypse, water is harder to find than food. She had never had a good drink of water. Only after drinking until her belly was full did Qin Qing take a breath and wipe her mouth. She thought about how she had just touched her palm and entered this strange place. She didn't know how to get out.
Before she could finish her thought, her eyes blurred and she appeared on her bed in the dormitory.
This… could this be the legendary space? Thinking of this, she silently chanted in her heart, then rubbed her left hand with her right hand. Sure enough, she re-entered the room and then re-emerged. Qin Qing's heart moved, and before she could touch the bucket of instant noodles, she saw it suddenly disappear before her eyes.
