The vines that were blocking the way were cleared away one by one before they could get close.

This vine has a strong ability to absorb blood and has tiny hooks on it, which can be used to absorb blood and adhere to human skin. Once it sticks to you, it is very difficult to get rid of it. Moreover, they have tried it and found that ordinary fire has little effect on it. The flame burned for a while, then stopped burning and went out by itself.

"Where should we go now?" Xie Fei, who was walking in the front, looked at the dormitory buildings around him that were almost identical and asked in confusion.

"There are so many dormitory buildings here, Chaozi, can you locate which building Jingyang is in with your positioning?" Lin Yang waved his hand and cut off another vine, then turned around and asked.

There are ten dormitory buildings in the East District, six for males and four for females. If they don't know which building a person is in, it's really not efficient for them to search one building at a time.

"The positioning is still not useful now. But I can try to see if I can find him with my supernatural powers." Jiang Jingchao said, and before he started to use his supernatural powers, he suddenly discovered something and his face changed instantly.

"Chaozi? What's wrong?" Lin Yang was standing next to Jiang Jingchao and was the first to notice his change.

Jiang Jingchao took a deep breath, looked at his right wrist, and said in a trembling voice: "Not good, the vital signs belonging to Jingyang on the watch are gone."

Of course, if the watch cannot detect vital signs, it does not mean that the person who owns the watch is definitely dead. It is also possible that the watch is broken or some other accident has occurred.

But Jiang Jingchao still felt an indescribable panic in his heart. He had always relied on this to tell himself that his family was fine. Now that he suddenly couldn't detect his brother's vital signs, how could he stay calm?

At this time, Jiang Jingchao no longer cared about whether his supernatural powers were consumed or not, nor did he restrain any of his supernatural powers. A huge mental net spread out in all directions, searching most of the living area in a short time.

Gu Yicheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown when he saw him using his superpowers so unrestrainedly, but he didn't say much in the end. It's just that the lower the level of psychic superpowers, the more restrictions there are. Chaozi might have a hard time recovering from what he did in a short time.

Jiang Jingchao rarely spreads out such a large mental network at once, because this skill consumes too much energy.

Soon, his lips began to turn pale, his face looked worse and worse, and his forehead was covered with sweat. Finally, before reaching the limit of his supernatural powers, he barely retracted his mental network, took several heavy breaths, supported his body with both hands, and tilted his head to look in one direction.

"Jingyang, Jingyang, he's there!" he said anxiously.

Even though there were signs of life elsewhere in the living area, Jiang Jing had a strong feeling that his brother was in that dormitory building.

Seeing Jiang Jingchao's miserable appearance due to the excessive consumption of his supernatural powers, Lin Yang said, "Chaozi, just rest here and don't go over there."

"Just let me go. Don't worry, as long as Jingyang is still in there, I will definitely help you get him out safely."

"No, I want to go too." Jiang Jingchao was not worried about handing the person over to Lin Yang. He didn't trust anyone, and he would not distrust him and Brother Gu. It was just that Jiang Jingchao couldn't stay here when he thought about not being able to detect Jingyang's vital signs.

"Chaozi, in your current physical condition, even if you go, it will only make everyone worry. Just listen to Lin Yang and stay here to rest." Gu Yicheng's tone was irresistible, "Lin Yang, it's not safe for you to go alone, I'll go with you. Xie Fei and Li Bao, the two of you stay here with Chaozi."

"As for Ningning..." He paused, wondering whether he should take her with him.

Ruan Ning noticed that the male protagonist was looking at her, and very tactfully took the initiative to say, "Brother, I will be obedient and wait for you here with everyone else."

Gu Yicheng frowned slightly, and there was no change in his voice. "Yeah."

Xie Fei's fire ability was much more effective against these vines than other abilities. It didn't take long for them to clear a relatively safe area between the two buildings. Ruan Ning only needed to help kill a few zombies occasionally.

After killing the last lone zombie, Ruan Ning breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the building where the male protagonist and his friends were going. He saw that the walls were covered with emerald green vines, making the entire wall look like it was painted green from a distance.

They are safe for the time being, but they don't know how Gu Yichen and Lin Yang are doing in there now.

*****

The door lock at the bottom of the 3-a dormitory building had been broken long ago, so Gu Yicheng just pushed the door lightly and it opened.

With a creaky sound, the door closed again.

A zombie heard the noise and "looked" towards the door. Unfortunately, it didn't know who had locked it in the guard room, with its head and body stuck in the small window. When it saw someone coming in, it could only bang on the wall of the guard room, and its head turned in the direction of the smell of living people, looking very funny.

Gu Yicheng and Lin Yang glanced at the zombie and had no intention of going over to kill it. Finding someone was more important, so the two ignored its existence and walked inside.

The structure of the student dormitory building is very simple. Standing in the corridor, you can see the end at a glance. There are dozens of dormitories on one floor. They don't know which dormitory on which floor Jiang Jingyang is in now.

"Lin Yang, let's look for it separately, and then gather here." Gu Yicheng said.

Even if the person was fine, Jiang Jingyang might have encountered some emergency, otherwise he would not even care about his watch.

The sooner they find him, the more at ease they will be. After all, Jiang Jingyang is Jiang Jingchao's only brother. If he dies here, Lin Yang and Gu Yicheng will not be able to explain to him.

Just as the two were about to separate and search floor by floor, the sound of hurried running was suddenly heard from upstairs.

Someone is up there!!

Gu Yicheng and Lin Yang looked at each other, then changed their strategy and trotted up the stairs one after the other, holding their weapons.

…

In the corridor on the third floor.

"Jingyang, be careful of the zombies!"

Xi Chen used the fire-fighting equipment on the aisle to smash the zombie from behind, making a hole in its head. The brain matter burst immediately and the crystal core fell out.

With Xi Chen's help, Jiang Jingyang got rid of the zombie on his body. However, the place on his right hand where the watch was originally worn was now empty, and the parts of the dial were scattered all over the floor.

The watch was already broken, and no matter how upset Jiang Jingyang felt, it would not help. Moreover, the current situation did not allow him to think too much.

Just now, a zombie bit off a large piece of his flesh, which was bloody and oozing out of the wound. He was afraid of losing too much blood, so he simply wrapped it with a piece of cloth a few times, which finally stopped the bleeding temporarily.

But the smell of blood in the air made the zombies nearby become even more crazy.

"Xi Chen, don't worry about me, just leave here by yourself. If you take me with you, neither of us can escape." Jiang Jingyang not only injured his hand, but his knee was also hit by a sharp object while he was running away. Now his whole leg is numb and he has no feeling, so he definitely can't run fast.

He is now a second-level cripple. If Xi Chen follows him, he will only be dragged down by him.

What Jiang Jingyang said in the dormitory before was not a lie. He really didn't want both of them to get into trouble here.

But people never know when danger will befall you, just like now, the two of them were lying in the dormitory resting a moment ago, and the next moment the glass on the balcony shattered, and then the vines that had been lurking outside the window for a long time quickly drilled into the dormitory.

They had been in this hellhole for a month and were familiar with the habits of the vines, so they would not let them get entangled. However, the door that was used to block the zombies trapped them instead. In the end, Jiang Jingyang blocked the vines in front and Xi Chen moved the table away, and the two of them finally escaped from the dormitory.

But this is just the beginning.

There were still many zombies in the corridor. As soon as they ran out of the dormitory and shook off the blood-sucking vines, the zombies heard the noise and chased after them. The zombies in the corridor were not of high level. If they were in their prime, escaping from these zombies would not be a problem at all. But there is no if. They were exhausted physically and mentally, and they couldn't use their special powers. They didn't even run down to the third floor before they were surrounded by zombies.

Hearing Jiang Jingyang asking him to leave alone, Xi Chen hesitated for a moment before he immediately became firm, helped him up from the ground, and said, "I still say the same thing, let's go together! You didn't abandon me when I was in danger before, so I won't leave you here alone. Otherwise, how would I be different from those treacherous people! If you can't walk anymore, I will carry you out of here even if I have to."

Jiang Jingyang was touched and felt guilty when he saw Xi Chen did not leave.

The zombies were approaching step by step. The two stood back to back, taking care of each other, and their eyes were red from killing the zombies. However, without their superpowers, they were exhausted and were like sheep in a wolf's den.

In the end, the zombies had killed less than half of them, and their clothes were covered in blood, and they could not tell whether the blood was from the zombies or their own.

Fortunately, both of them are superpowers and are not afraid of being infected by the zombies in front of them, otherwise they would have died long ago.

Xi Chen was forced into a corner by the zombies, and Jiang Jingyang was so exhausted that he could hardly stand. He only persisted until now because of his determination to stay alive.

Just when the two felt there was no hope of leaving this place, a burst of gunfire rang out, and the zombies around them fell one after another.

Is this... someone coming to rescue them?

Jiang Jingyang and Xi Chen both looked incredulous.

After all, the survivors in the entire living area ran away or died, and there were not many people left. Everyone was busy thinking about how to save themselves and escape from here. Who would come to save them? ?

"Jingyang, are you okay?"

After seeing clearly who the person was, Jiang Jingyang couldn't hide the surprise on his face, and said excitedly, "Brother Gu? Brother Lin Yang! Why are you here?! I must be dreaming."

"You're not dreaming, it's us." Gu Yicheng stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support Jiang Jingyang who was about to collapse, and at the same time handed him the gun in his hand, frowned, and said: "I'll explain this later. We'll take you away from here first, Chaozi is still outside waiting to meet us."

"My brother is here too." Jiang Jingyang was even more excited when he heard his brother was here. The joy of escaping a desperate situation and meeting an acquaintance diluted the panic of being nearly bitten to death by zombies just now.

Lin Yang glanced at Xi Chen next to Jiang Jingyang and asked, "Can you use a gun?"

Xi Chen also knew that the two men were friends of Jiang Jingyang's brother. His vigilance disappeared and he nodded, "Yes."

"As long as you know how to use it." After saying that, Lin Yang gave his gun to Xi Chen and told him to protect himself.

As long as the person is fine, everything is fine.

Lin Yang and Gu Yichen quickly dealt with the remaining zombies on the third floor, and then walked downstairs with the other two people beside them.

the other side.

The situation for those who were left behind suddenly became grim.

"What's going on?" Ruan Ning took several steps back. The trousers she was wearing were now covered with a lot of plant mucus. She saw with her own eyes that the fibers on the trousers were corroded by the mucus.

Originally they were living in peace here. Xie Fei could deal with those vines by himself, and Ruan Ning and Li Bao worked together to kill the zombies. But no one knew what was wrong with the vines around them. Suddenly, they rushed towards them without any care.

"Oh no, it looks like that third-level zombie is coming this way!"

Jiang Jingchao has psychic abilities. Although he is only at level 2 and cannot detect the locations of zombies higher than his level, he is much more sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment than ordinary people. As soon as the vines moved this time, he discovered something unusual.

"Let's leave here quickly and find another place to hide. Otherwise, if it gets entangled with us, we will be in trouble."
