Chapter 40 Library
Yun Shuhuai spent a day cleaning up the zombies in this building.
There are many musical instruments on this building, which should belong to the music department. There are six floors in total. Except for the third floor, there are not many zombies on the other floors. There is a small auditorium on the top, which is locked. After Yun Shuhuai went in, he smelled a foul smell, but there were no zombies inside. There were more than a dozen corpses lying at the back of the auditorium.
They looked like classmates who hid in. They had no food or water for almost a month and had not waited for rescue. They had already died in this place. The corpses began to stink.
Yun Shuhuai lowered his eyes and looked at them. These were classmates who were about the same age as him. He might have passed by them one day in the past.
She took out a piece of white cloth and covered them as a last respect. At least they died as human beings.
After coming out of this building, she went to the school's infirmary office building and other places, took away the medicines and other things inside, and shuttled between different teaching buildings, killing zombies and collecting some things she was interested in.
Yun Shuhuai's activities in the school were relatively covert, and she was basically active inside the building. There were many zombies in the building, and she didn't meet any survivors. After all, there was no food in the teaching building. Hiding here would either be trapped to death or bitten to death by zombies. I'm afraid she would collapse in her heart if she didn't get rescued for such a long time.
In his previous life, Yun Shuhuai had seen some survivors who had suffered enough from the apocalypse and chose to commit suicide or turn into zombies.
I don't know if the rescue team from the university town has not arrived yet or what. In the past few days, Yun Shuhuai only saw a helicopter flying over and broadcasting, but later he didn't see it coming down to rescue people, at least not in this school.
Are there too few survivors?
Yes, zombies randomly appeared in the crowd. In a crowded place like a university, it is not easy to escape when zombies suddenly appeared around you. Judging from the traces of car accidents at the gates of various schools, everyone was trying their best to run. The school's bicycle sheds and electric sheds were also empty. The underground garage was a mess, with scattered cars and wandering zombies everywhere. The garage door was blocked by several cars. I'm afraid not many people ran out. Most of them abandoned their cars and ran away.
On the streets around the university city, you can also see zombies that look like students wandering in groups of three or two. It seems that even if you escape from the school, you can't escape the fate of being infected.
Yun Shuhuai felt that there would be many survivors before the superpower zombies appeared, but after they appeared, the number of survivors would probably drop sharply. The superpower zombies could easily break through doors and windows to enter your hiding place. Even if you hide well, ordinary people will die after being discovered by them.
But even so, there must be survivors hiding somewhere in the school.
The campus is now extremely quiet, and the zombies are either wandering or standing there sluggishly.
Yun Shuhuai was lying on the roof of the library, basking in the sun and looking down. She climbed up directly from the outer wall and planned to clean up all the way from top to bottom. Now is a short rest before the action, because the weather is really good, she plans to stay a little longer.
The rooftop was covered with a glass dome, which seemed to be a small garden with many flower pots. However, because no one had watered them for a long time, almost all the plants except for a few drought-resistant ones died.
There was also a mutant cactus here. It was very large, more than two meters tall, and stood out among the plants.
Yun Shuhuai carefully observed it and found that there was no danger, so he approached it. The appearance of this cactus was still the same, except that it was bigger and its thorns became very long, about fifteen centimeters, which could easily pierce a book. It could also make a crisp metal-like sound when tapped lightly, and it was also very hard.
Yun Shuhuai used a claw to gently open the thick stem of the cactus. The tender green inside was no different from an ordinary cactus. This should be just an ordinary mutant plant. Unlike the things in the previous life that could actively hunt or even set traps, Yun Shuhuai even felt that they should not be called plants. Plants should grow well in the same place without moving. Some mutant plants have vines that crawl everywhere like snakes.
Mutated plants also have good mutations. Of course, this good or bad is for humans. Some crops or fruits can mutate into new flavors. In the previous life, there was a batch of mutant rice and wheat planted in the base. The taste was not very good, but the advantage was high yield.
Yun Shuhuai saw that the cactus was not a threat, so he put it and some living plants into the space. Maybe he could sell it to plant-based psychics in the future.
After resting enough on the rooftop, Yun Shuhuai prepared to take action.
The library is the place with the most students in a school besides the teaching building, because there are always students reading or studying in it, and there are also seniors who are preparing for postgraduate entrance exams or graduation papers reviewing in it. They have to get up early every day and run to the library to reserve seats, and they will not come back until the library closes at night.
So Yun Shuhuai is ready to do a big job.
This library has only three floors, but it has a large area. The space inside is not too divided, and most areas are connected.
Yun Shuhuai had a rough look inside when she climbed the wall. There were many zombies scattered everywhere, with few places to hide, but she could use the rows of heavy bookshelves as cover.
She climbed down from the rooftop to the third floor, kicked the glass and jumped in from a place with fewer zombies.
Having not seen a living person for many days, the zombies howled excitedly and rushed towards her. Yun Shuhuai was already fully armed, and two energy blades easily harvested all the zombies in front of her, and then an energy bullet took care of a superpowered zombie in the distance.
Yun Shuhuai is very sensitive to energy. She can clearly see the energy properties of zombies and humans. After upgrading, this ability is particularly obvious. The fire zombie is just a big red ball in her eyes. Even if half of its body is hiding behind the pillar, she can still see it at a glance. It is right to deal with it first.
Apart from the zombie with super powers, the others are much easier to deal with. But Yun Shuhuai came here not only to kill zombies, she also wants to take away the books here.
Yun Shuhuai loves reading. After a few years, when the weather becomes more extreme, the buildings collapse, and the city becomes a ruin, these books will also decay. She collects books not for the purpose of passing on spiritual wealth, but purely for the purpose of having books ready when she wants to read in the future.
So Yun Shuhuai will carefully avoid the bookshelves when attacking, and will only attack when the zombies run to the reading area in front of her.
She knocks on the table to attract the zombies on the third floor while attacking, and it doesn't take a few minutes to kill them all.
Then, she collected the books and the crystal cores at the same time. This time, Yun Shuhuai did not dig the crystal cores by herself. Two silver iron rings were suspended beside her. They pierced through the zombies' heads on the ground and took out the crystal cores. They flew to Yun Shuhuai's side and threw them into a box. Although the speed was a bit slow, Yun Shuhuai was not in a hurry and just took it as practice.
This is the improved "Hunter No. 2". No. 1 was too easy to get stuck in the bones and the CD was too long. Since the ultimate goal is to directly take the crystal cores out of the zombies' heads, it doesn't matter if it is not made into a barrel shape. As long as you pay attention to two points: piercing the skull and getting the crystal core stuck, you can think divergently and improve it.
"Hunter No. 2" was modified based on No. 1. It is not connected end to end. Now it can penetrate the skull without being stuck by bone fragments. The support at the bottom can hold the crystal core and bring it out.
After the improvement, the weight was reduced a lot. It was no problem to control two, and even a third one could be added after practice.
It was really worry-free not to have to dig crystal cores by myself. After collecting the books, Yun Shuhuai slowly controlled the iron ring to take out the crystal cores one by one.
The crystal core was in the zombie's head, which was the place with the most energy on the zombie's body, so Yun Shuhuai could see the location of the crystal core at a glance, and the iron ring would not miss it.
With the energy she had now, she didn't get so tired after digging these crystal cores as she did before the upgrade. Although it consumed a lot, it was still no problem to kill all the zombies in this building.
But Yun Shuhuai still sat on the third floor to rest for a while.
She really likes the design of this library. There is a wall next to it that is a full-length French window. Now the weather outside is nice, the sunlight shines in and spreads a brilliant light all over the floor. The library looks bright and warm.
If you ignore the pile of broken bodies on the ground and the large blood stains on the wall.
Yun Shuhuai sat by the French window, took out a cushion and a cup of milk tea, and briefly enjoyed the beautiful sunlight.
