Chapter 20 My home is my decision

Anyway, we have to find a place to rest, and their university happens to be in the nearby suburbs.

After getting Chen Qingqing's approval, Lin Bo immediately drove to the destination.

The stone with the four big characters "Qingshan University" engraved on it soon appeared in front of him.

The bodies of people and zombies were lying in all directions at the gate. It seemed that there had been a fierce battle here.

Facing the school gate inside was the library of Qingshan University. The library and the gate were separated by a shallow Geumrei Pond.

On both sides of the Geumrei Pond were newly built dormitory buildings, which should be allocated to freshmen.

Except for the brightly lit library, the entire university, including a snack street in front of the school, was dark.

And it had just been less than a month since the start of school.

I don't know where the students have gone, but a library with transparent glass can't hide so many students.

"It seems that I can't eat beef noodles anymore." Lin Bo sighed.

Chen Qingqing: "I'll go out and take a look."

"Maybe there are seasoning packets or something like that in the beef noodle restaurant?"

Lin Bo: "Too dangerous..."

Chen Qingqing smiled and said: "I searched six stores in a row last night and killed three zombies."

"Don't worry, husband, I won't be in danger."

Lin Bo knew his wife's ability. She was confident that she could deal with a lone zombie.

And the night is when zombies are more active. At this time, the surroundings are quiet and there will be no groups of zombies suddenly appearing.

Lin Bo nodded, stopped the car close to the roadside, and took out the walkie-talkie and handed it to his wife.

"If anything happens, be sure to tell me."

"Don't worry."

Chen Qingqing walked towards the snack street with a flashlight.

After a while, a voice suddenly came out of the walkie-talkie in Lin Bo's hand.

Lin Bo immediately responded: "What's wrong?"

Chen Qingqing's excited tone: "I really found the seasoning packet!"

"Great, we will have beef noodles to eat in the future!"

Lin Bo smiled helplessly, and said in a doting tone: "I know, come back soon."

Chen Qingqing returned to the car safely, and Lin Bo was really relieved.

Chen Qingqing held the jade pendant around her neck: "But these seasoning packets have a shelf life... It would be great if we could unlock the freezing space as soon as possible."

Frozen can be preserved for a longer time.

Lin Bo turned off the lights in the car, hugged Huo Huo, and Chen Qingqing took Xiao Huan into the space to cook noodles and eat.

Half an hour later, Chen Qingqing and Xiaohuan returned to the car and brought a bowl of hot beef noodles to Lin Bo.

The beef used was vacuum-preserved braised beef, soaked in delicious soup. A piece of meat slurped into the mouth along with the noodles, and the fragrance lingered in the mouth after swallowing.

"It still tastes the same." Lin Bo was very satisfied.

"I still remember that after we went to the library to study, we went to the beef noodle restaurant to order two bowls of noodles."

Chen Qingqing smiled: "Before we were officially dating, you secretly gave me the meat sandwich."

Lin Bo coughed lightly.

"You were too thin, and you studied very hard. You spent a whole day in the library, so you should eat more."

Xiaohuan popped his head out from behind and pointed at the library with lights on: "Mom, is the library fun?"

Chen Qingqing: "Do you want to go and have a look?"

Xiaohuan nodded shyly.

Lin Bo looked serious: "It might be dangerous in the library."

Chen Qingqing paused and gave a different answer: "Maybe we can go to the library to collect some supplies."

Lin Bo was at a loss: "There is a small supermarket on the first floor of the library, but it must have been plundered now. There are only books and books, where are the supplies?"

"Those books are supplies." Chen Qingqing said seriously.

Chen Qingqing explained solemnly: "November will be extremely cold, and everyone will try their best to stay warm and survive, but coal is not available everywhere."

The trees in the mountains will be cut down, the green belts in the city will be plucked out, and everything that can be thrown into the fire as fuel for heating will be burned.

This includes books.

"After two months, these books in the library will be burned to ashes."

"But after a year, the survivors will start to regret it."

Because many useful books on building shelters, developing vaccines, and fighting disasters were burned to ashes in the cold winter of the previous year.

The terrible thing about the end of the world is that it will give everyone the same despair without distinction.

Many people who work in technical jobs will die quietly in this disaster, leaving nothing behind.

The long-term reliance on technology has made physical books a thing of the past for people today.

When people who intended to build a base were at a loss in the face of construction and medical problems, they suddenly realized how important the words in the books they had ignored were.

But it was too late.

Chen Qingqing: "We still have some room in the car, and there is still room on the upper floor..."

"You know, Xiaohuan should have gone to school next year."

If they don't rescue the books, Xiaohuan may never have the chance to come into contact with them again.

"...You make sense." Lin Bo nodded seriously.

"Let's go to the library tomorrow morning. There should be some survivors inside. We can exchange supplies."

"Husband, wake up."

Lin Bo and Chen Qingqing took turns to stand guard at night. When it was just dawn, Chen Qingqing noticed the situation at the school gate and immediately woke her husband.

"...What's wrong?" Lin Bo took off his eye mask and stood up. The next moment he was awake.

He saw a group of students walking out of the school gate in the distance.

Chen Qingqing had expected this.

Although the dormitory building was not lit, it was very likely that there were still people living inside.

They saw Chen Qingqing searching for supplies with a flashlight at night, so they naturally came to look for her. Chen Qingqing did not break into the school directly, and she sent them a signal through her actions last night - she had no ill intentions.

At this time, the college students who were walking towards the car were holding baseball bats, badminton rackets, and some were even holding branches. It was obvious that they had used everything they could.

The man in the lead was the most eye-catching. He was wearing a football player's helmet, which could be said to have armed his head in all directions.

The people behind him held their weapons tightly, but he was the only one who was swinging around, looking like he was not afraid of anyone.

Chen Qingqing held up her chin and said, "This helmet of his is quite good. You can ask him if he wants to change it later."

Lin Bo: "...I don't think he will agree."

Chen Qingqing: "Why?"

"Because he is afraid of death."

Lin Bo pointed to the five or six layers of clothes he wore, as well as the big rain boots on his feet.

Thick clothes can effectively resist the scratches and bites of zombies, and the same goes for helmets.

After all, who is not afraid of death?

But Chen Qingqing has never seen someone who is afraid of death and walks so arrogantly.

Fortunately, this kind of person who seems to have completely exposed emotions and a simple mind should be easy to negotiate with.

"I'll go down." Chen Qingqing said, "You watch Xiaohuan and Huhuo."

Lin Bo nodded.

Chen Qingqing took out a machete from the space and got out of the car.

The machete in Chen Qingqing's hand is much more intimidating than the baseball bats in the hands of the students opposite.

When Chen Qingqing got off the car, the college students opposite immediately stopped.

Chen Qingqing took a few steps forward, and the opposite immediately took a few steps back.

"Are you the only ones left?" Chen Qingqing asked.

Everyone looked at each other, as if they didn't expect Chen Qingqing to ask them questions first.

It was the helmeted boy who was in the lead who shouted loudly and said, "We don't talk to women. Let your man come down and talk to us."

Chen Qingqing: ...

Chen Qingqing's hand holding the machete moved slightly, and under the vigilant eyes of everyone, he threw the machete into the air and caught it neatly.

Chen Qingqing: "I'm the boss of my family, is there a problem?"

"..."

Normally, Chen Qingqing hates communicating with such arrogant people, because they hardly listen to anything others say and only stick to their own opinions.

For such people, action is the best proof.

Chen Qingqing, who has been trained in the last three years of the apocalypse, does not need to catch a zombie to prove his ability. As long as he shows some powerful-looking moves, it will be enough to make them exclaim.

The leading boy's attitude softened a lot: "Who... are you? What are you doing here?"

Chen Qingqing: "To make a long story short, my family and I originally wanted to eat a bowl of beef noodles in front of the university where we used to study."

"But I want to exchange supplies with you now."

Everyone: ...

Did they miss something?

Is there any connection between the two?
