Chapter 12 Lin Congzhi’s Death?
"Don't push, walk in order! Those behind, catch up quickly!"
The straight-line distance from the N University cafeteria to the gymnasium is about 1,200 meters. Although it takes a roundabout way to go through the poplar forest in the middle, there are few zombies and Gu Chao and his companions have already opened up a path.
This was the last group of students to be transferred from the cafeteria. Gu Chao led the way, Yan Song and Lin Cong were in the middle and at the end of the team respectively, while the others were in control of the gymnasium and divided into groups to check whether there were any students who were bitten, scratched, or had a fever.
The students were all rushing forward in a panic. Those at the back were getting more and more nervous, fearing that so many people would attract zombies, and they wished they could grow wings and fly away.
Originally, this group of people had some complaints about Gu Chao and the others for putting them in the last place, but they couldn't say anything due to the situation.
Now that the stadium is in front of us, we start to get confused.
The people in the front rushed forward, the people behind pushed desperately, and the people at the end of the line didn't want to continue queuing and ran around in a swarm.
Lin Cong and Yan Song were so angry that they fell backwards, but they couldn't scold loudly, so Yan Song had to pull Yan Wei back out to avoid being squeezed.
Suddenly, a group of zombies were startled by the noise here. They were originally wandering in front of the small canteen door between the two buildings, but now they rushed straight over, howling.
When the students at the end of the line saw this, they screamed and dared not move forward. They turned around and rushed towards the library.
"Damn it, run away, it's so troublesome!" Yan Song spat, walked back, and came to Lin Cong to prepare for battle.
Lin Cong swallowed his saliva and said, "Dasong, don't you think the leader is running very fast? Am I seeing things right?"
Yan Song looked closely and saw that the zombie in front was extremely fast. It didn't seem like it was running, but it rushed in front of them in just a few leaps.
He took a deep breath and told Yan Wei to run to the gymnasium quickly.
In a few seconds, the zombie in a dirty basketball uniform approached, suddenly squatted down, pounced on Lin Cong, and stretched out his hand to grab his head!
Lin Cong quickly rolled to the side to avoid it, but before he could get up, he saw a claw coming towards him and could even hear the rustling sound of the wind in his ears.
He felt a chill in his heart, but saw that the zombie's long claws were blocked by Yan Song's fire axe in the next second. Lin Cong supported himself with his hands and jumped up to kick the zombie's leg, but he kicked in the air, and the zombie quickly jumped behind Yan Song again.
Yan Song suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand up. Before he could dodge, Lin Cong saw with horror the zombie's bloody mouth biting him!
Just as he grabbed his arm and tried to pull him away, he heard a "bang" sound. A bloody hole suddenly appeared on the zombie's forehead, and black, red and white brain matter splattered on Yan Song's back, with a foul smell.
Yan Song and Lin Cong fell into a pile due to inertia.
Yan Song hurriedly turned his head to look at the zombie and found that it was dead. He then saw Gu Chao holding a gun and breathed a sigh of relief.
The entire battle lasted less than a minute, and the zombies were so fast that it was terrifying.
"Oh my God, this thing is so scary, I almost died." Both of them were covered in cold sweat, thinking that it was a good thing that the captain was there.
"Captain, why are you here?" Yan Song was puzzled. Didn't he enter the gymnasium a long time ago?
Yan Wei poked his head out from behind a big tree. "Brother, are you okay? I met Captain Gu on the way. He rushed over after hearing about the zombie attack from behind."
Gu Chao looked at the two of them seriously and said, "Don't take it lightly. Next time you encounter this kind of zombie, try to kill it from a distance. If you get close to them, they will easily be scratched."
After saying that, he ignored their repeated promises and just looked down at the incredibly fast zombie. He pondered for a while, then pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the zombie's heart.
After poking for a long time, he found nothing. He poked the zombie's arms and legs, but there was nothing there either. He frowned and thought for a moment, then stabbed the dagger into the back of its head.
"Hey, boss, what are you doing? Are you abusing the corpse to vent your anger? We are fine, please let it go." Lin Cong looked at the smashed brain with disgust, and his stomach twitched.
Gu Chao turned a deaf ear and stirred for a long time. Suddenly, his hand felt an obstruction. He exerted force with the dagger and picked out a transparent round object.
The object was half the size of a finger joint, round and translucent, very much like a fine gemstone, with white flocs lingering inside, constantly floating around.
The other two were stunned. "What is this? My God, there are such beautiful stones in such a disgusting place."
Gu Chao frowned, his expression solemn. He wiped the stone casually, put it away, and warned them with his eyes to shut up.
Seeing that there seemed to be no danger, Yan Wei came over and said anxiously, "Brother, Captain Gu, Brother Lin, I just saw a few students running to the library next door. Can you go look for them?"

Lu Ming looked at the messy cafeteria floor in front of him, stomped his feet, and was very annoyed.
Shit, there's no one left. They must have spread to the library! No, I have to find them before they get hurt.
He turned around and ran towards the library again.
She was not familiar with the route, and at first she ran along the route they had cleared, but when she reached the poplar forest, she took another path.
She knew that zombies rely on hearing and smell to find food, so she kept throwing stones and iron blocks into the distance to attract the zombies away. She would only pick up the knife and chop them when they were unavoidable, killing one zombie with each knife... oh no, a zombie head.
Relying on his upgraded speed and strength, he fought his way out. When he was tired, he drank spring water to replenish his strength. Fortunately, he did not encounter any evolved zombies along the way, otherwise it would not have been so smooth.
Even so, by the time she ran to the library, she was already covered in sweat.
As soon as she entered the door, she ran to the coffee shop on the left side of the main entrance. She remembered that this was where the incident happened. But when she saw the freshly-cooked zombie corpses on the ground, she was dumbfounded again.
What's going on? How can it progress so quickly?
Before she could even catch her breath, she rushed out again, shouting in her mind as she ran, "Fuck you! I really owe you guys this in my past life! I'm so tired!"
------------
Lin Cong sat on the floor of the broadcasting room, gasping for breath. He felt as if he was being roasted over and over in an oven. His vision was blurry and he couldn't stop vomiting.
He wiped his face, tried to look at his teammates who were gathered in a circle, and gave a carefree smile.
"Don't look... Huhu, give me some face... I'm so handsome... I don't want to be... so... disgusting." He turned to the silent Gu Chao, then looked at Cheng Ming with his lips tightly pursed. "You... two... one of you... give me... a... quick death... I'm leaving first, you... don't come... too early."
Li Hangyuan burst into tears and put his hand on his mouth to stop himself from sobbing.
Yan Song walked back and forth with his head in his hands, occasionally pausing only to look at the ceiling.
Zhang Rui squatted on the side, with his head down, not knowing what he was doing.
Gu Chao looked at Lin Cong, whose face was beginning to turn blue and black, and slowly took out the gun with his right hand.
He still remembered the day he first met Lin Cong.
He was 21 years old that year, and Lin Cong was 16 years old.
The young man who had just entered the military camp heard from somewhere that if he defeated him, he could join the special forces.
The skinny little guy, relying on the martial arts training he had learned since childhood, ran up to him and challenged him to a fight.
At that time, he was young and hot-headed, and wanted to teach this ignorant boy a lesson, so he beat him up in front of everyone, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face.
Merciless.
Thinking that the boy was afraid of being embarrassed and would not dare to come again, he appeared downstairs of his dormitory at the same time the next day.
It made him look at it with new eyes.
Just like that, not long after, the little guy really joined the special forces team and became his member.
And became his number one fan.
When he called other people in the team, he would either call them by their code names or their positions, but he was always called "Boss". He was always laughed at and accused of being a street gangster. But he didn't listen and instead shouted even more happily, which attracted others to shout as well. As soon as they went out, it was like a gangster rally.
I guess no one will call him that anymore.
I will miss you.
I'm sorry I didn't protect you.
Gu Chao gripped the gun handle tightly in his hand and couldn't lift it for a long time.
My heart aches when I think of pointing the gun at this face that always smiles heartlessly.
Why, why is it always like this.
For the sake of irrelevant people, we send away one companion and comrade after another.
He shouldn't have died like this, in a place like this, for such a reason.
If I had known earlier, I would have just ignored those people and come to the school to pick them up and leave...
They were all his responsibility, and he hadn't taken care of any of them.
The gun in his hand was finally pointed at Lin Cong, but it seemed to have become extremely heavy and he did not have the strength to pull the trigger.
"Shoot!" Lin Cong roared, then gritted his teeth and his whole body began to tremble.
"Bang!"
