Chapter 101 Meeting
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Xi and Lu Wei, who had killed the zombie, were the focus of everyone's attention.
Gradually, people came over to say hello.
Most of them were Lu Wei's former police colleagues, and some were acquaintances.
Even Xiang Xin recognized some of the survivors and recounted the harrowing experience they had just gone through.
No one came looking for Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was a little bored, so she stayed to the side and silently watched the scene of everyone's reunion.
She seemed to see a few familiar faces in the crowd, but the memory of those faces was too distant—
Zhou Ling, who was making a phone call with a long face, was sitting nearby with Jiang Xiaoli and Wei Shuhan.
Jiang Xiaoli and Wei Shuhan seemed to meet Lin Xi's gaze, but quickly looked away.
In this life, they do not know Lin Xi.
The commotion in the stadium continued, and several more tragic incidents occurred where infected individuals, who had secretly hidden among the crowd, suddenly mutated and injured people.
Because the crowd was too dense to shoot, the zombies were dealt with by close-quarters combat and headshots.
Some troops stood by with their guns, while others patrolled the crowd.
Besides Lin Xi and Lu Wei joining the battle, more and more skilled individuals from the human community gradually appeared to assist in fighting the zombies.
They looked somewhat familiar.
"Isn't this Coach Lin?"
Lin Xi recognized the zombie as one of her students at the martial arts school, and in the critical moment, she stepped forward and defeated it.
The people with him also recognized Lin Xi and waved from afar.
Lin Xi simply nodded in response.
Over the years, the tasks assigned to Hongwen Hospital have weighed heavily on her like a mountain. Apart from improving her martial arts skills and making money, Lin Xi couldn't think about anything else, nor could she remember all the people who came and went.
Her classes were very strict, and her students often complained about how difficult they were.
Lin Xi was thinking that if she hadn't been able to stop the tragedy at Hongwen Hospital, these people might have been able to protect themselves.
If she successfully prevents the zombie outbreak at Hongwen Hospital, then she has earned her tuition fees from the martial arts school and remains a good instructor.
A familiar-looking trainee blurted out his doubts: "I heard you're in jail?"
Another trainee chimed in, "I heard it was the death penalty?"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers and civilians nearby all looked at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi's right hand, which was holding the dagger, twitched slightly. "Actually, there is a difference between being in a detention center and being in prison."
"That's right! Our Sister Xi has killed dozens of zombies, so show her some respect!"
Xiang Xin had just snapped a zombie's neck, clapped his hands, and strode over.
Lin Xi was slightly surprised.
A martial arts student in the back row said, "Isn't Xiang Xin still in the beginner class? How can she fight zombies? I wish I had enrolled too. I'm in the intermediate class."
When Xiang Xin walked up to her, Lin Xi couldn't help but ask curiously, "You killed a zombie?"
Xiang Xin gave a peace sign, "Two! I'll try my best to match yours."
People are different. Xiang Xin is like a passionate young man, innocent and fearless.
She had been eager to try it out since the moment the zombies appeared.
Xiang Xin was still muttering, "I've been observing him for a long time and haven't noticed anything abnormal. How did you figure out that those people were about to mutate, and you started killing them directly from the infected?"
Lin Xi: "Observe more and summarize your experience."
That's hard to say, mainly because she herself had become a zombie and knew what a person would do when they turned into a zombie.
But faced with Xiang Xin's enthusiasm and respect, she was embarrassed to admit that she had joined the zombies because she was afraid of them.
Are she and Xiang Xin friends?
Before the word "friend" had even formed a clear image in her mind, Xiang Xin grasped her arm and said, "You are my only sister! I will learn from you."
She even chuckled and made two punches.
Lin Xi thought to herself, "So this is what it feels like to be expected of something by someone."
The military and police at the stadium were already short-handed, and after discovering that some martial arts students had gathered there, they assembled a temporary volunteer team to help kill the suddenly mutated zombies and maintain security.
Those brave enough to know kung fu can voluntarily join the school, but formal recruitment requires passing some simple tests, such as basic kung fu skills.
Those whose courage and ability match are recruited.
Captain Shen Hua had no subjective opinions about Lin Xi and Xiang Xin, but he always acted according to the rules. These two, along with Lu Wei, were all suspects who needed to cooperate with the investigation, and in principle, they should not be allowed to move freely.
"It is our duty to guard suspects and protect their safety."
It was Yang Yicheng who dispelled Shen Hua's concerns, giving her his assurance:
“I have taken over the three of them. I believe they are capable of participating in volunteer work. If they exhibit any unusual behavior…” Yang Yicheng adjusted his gun.
This means that he can give Lin Xi and the others freedom, but he can also control them at any time.
After passing a simple test, Xiang Xin, who had successfully enlisted, walked excitedly to Lin Xi's side.
The police officer asked, "Are you willing to save lives?"
Xiang Xin suddenly straightened her head and puffed out her chest, placing one fist over her heart, revealing a very determined look in her eyes:
"I dedicate my heart to my motherland!"
Looking at the invisible burning flames, Lin Xi knew that Xiang Xin was probably paying homage to a character from a shonen manga.
The officer glared at her and asked again, "Are you willing to 'save lives'?"
"certainly!"
Then, the next moment, Xiang Xin, who had vowed to give his heart for the greater good, went to join the team that was saving lives.
To be precise, it's "to save someone from death".
Xiang Xin was assigned to a "temporary funeral team" to deal with the zombies that had been killed.
People know too little about zombies and are unsure what changes these corpses might bring, but everyone knows that corpses can spread viruses, and they know even less about the dangerous consequences of zombies.
Ordinary people are afraid to face zombies, even corpses, so these tasks also need to be done by volunteers.
Because Lin Xi judged that the infected person was highly capable and had armed strength, she was assigned to the entrance to screen newly arrived female refugees for infection.
Lu Weize was conducting a check on the male refugee.
Lin Xi saw from afar that a regular partner had appeared next to that person—Liang Hui.
It is said that he was practicing martial arts at the gym when the zombie outbreak occurred, and was then transferred here.
Lin Xi suddenly felt that her world was very small, so small that all the familiar faces she had reborn several times were gathered in this one stadium.
The survivors were rescued in batches by police officers and the military, and were checked in the tents at the entrance.
Lin Xi put on a mask and mechanically asked, "Have you been scratched or bitten by zombies? Are there any exposed wounds?"
100% of people would answer no.
However, only 90% of people are fine.
These people were lucky; the virus had a long incubation period in their bodies, so they didn't immediately turn into zombies.
They refused to acknowledge their wounds, even knowing that any mutation could harm those nearby.
They were so desperate to survive that they clung to the hope that they might be special and wouldn't mutate.
However, Lin Xi did not give the lucky ones a chance. Once he noticed something unusual, he swiftly and decisively killed an infected person.
Just like her actions with the infected individuals at Hongwen Hospital who hadn't yet mutated, the female officers on the main team were all amazed by her sharp moves.
