Chapter 1: The First Day of Salted Fish



001:

In October, the plane trees at Mingtong University are still as green as ever.

The sun was blazing high in the sky, and wherever the light shone, the tragic scenes across the campus were visible.

A week ago, the sky was suddenly covered by a black curtain, and gray dust rose in the air and disappeared in an instant.

Then someone fell to the ground, his whole body burning and twitching.

When he stood up again, he had turned into a monster that ate flesh and blood, and pounced on the classmates beside him.

The beautiful and peaceful campus instantly turned into a living hell.

Soon the communication was cut off.

The survivors hid in the dark, waiting for rescue.

At this moment, a muted argument was taking place in the school infirmary.

Wang Tianlei was agitated, with fear and alarm flashing in his eyes:

"She has a high fever and the medicine is ineffective. She will definitely turn into a zombie. If we don't throw her out, we will all die!"

Seeing that no one responded after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but raise his voice:

"Do you all want to turn into man-eating monsters?!"

"Tianlei is right," Liu Yizhou said, meeting Wang Tianlei's gaze. "It's too dangerous for us to leave Sang Luo here."

"There are zombies everywhere outside. Throwing her out is equivalent to killing her, isn't it?" Squad leader Hu Lingling frowned in disapproval.

Wang Tianlei stared at her coldly: "She will no longer be human soon."

"I agree to throw Sang Luo out. If it weren't for her, Yi Fan wouldn't have died. This is her retribution." Xu Qi said gloomily in the corner.

Hu Lingling ignored them. Although Sang Luo was not likable, the way they handled the situation chilled her heart.

She turned to the school doctor, Zhang Zhenhua: "Teacher Zhang, do you also think Sang Luo should be thrown out?"

Zhang Zhenhua, who was slightly overweight, looked at her, then at the others, wiped his sweat, and said, "What the students said makes sense..."

This is equivalent to consent.

Hu Lingling was disappointed: "This is murder!"

Everyone looked away, and Xu Qi sneered at Hu Lingling: "Holy Mother, if you don't want to, you can stay with Sang Luo."

Hu Lingling paused for a moment, then looked expectantly at Ning Ziqiu, the last boy who hadn't spoken, hoping that he would stand on the same side with her.

Meeting her gaze, Ning Ziqiu pushed his glasses and said:

"Why throw her out? Why not just take her to the pharmacy and tie her up?"

"If she turns into a zombie, she won't be able to get out."

"If nothing changes, let her out again."

The others were stunned.

It seems that I didn't expect there was such a compromise.

After a moment of silence, everyone agreed to Ning Ziqiu's proposal.

Wang Tianlei and Liu Yizhou took action and walked towards Sang Luo who was curled up on the hospital bed.

The girl's body was shaking due to the high fever. Her delicate little face, the size of a palm, was as pale as paper. Her brows were slightly furrowed in discomfort, revealing a breathtakingly fragile beauty.

Hearing their footsteps approaching, Sang Luo had no choice but to open his extremely heavy eyelids.

The girl's butterfly-like long eyelashes slowly spread out, and her clear amber pupils stared straight at the two people approaching.

They probably didn't expect her to wake up suddenly, they were startled and stepped back in a hurry.

Sang Luo supported himself on the edge of the bed and sat up.

This action made everyone alert.

But seeing that she didn't have any of the typical zombie symptoms except for her pale face, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to approach her.

"Great, you're finally awake!" Hu Lingling trotted over, her eyes filled with concern. "Are you okay?"

Sang Luo said sincerely, "Something's going on."

Hu Lingling was stunned.

Sang Luo: "My head hurts, my feet hurt, my body hurts, everything hurts."

Hu Lingling was a little confused: "...How about you lie down for a while?"

Sang Luo nodded and lay back down amidst the indescribable expressions of the others.

He also politely said, "Please keep your voice down."

Still think of yourself as a young lady!

Xu Qi's face turned pale and he wanted to rush over.

Bang--!

The door of the infirmary was slammed loudly by the zombies.

The door lock was shaking violently, causing the cabinet behind the door to shake as well, and a roar could be heard clearly.

Everyone fell silent in panic.

No one paid any attention to Sang Luo lying on the bed, for fear that the noise would attract the attention of the zombies outside the door.

The movement of standing up made the world in front of Sang Luo turn upside down.

This Sangluo is not that Sangluo.

——A few minutes ago, at the moment this body died, she came in.

Then a system appeared and told her that the world she was in now was created from a doomsday novel.

The original self is an important supporting character in the novel and runs through the entire book.

As a result, he died now.

Big bug.

So Sang Luo was pulled over to take the blame.

System: "The fact that I was able to successfully pull you here means that your original self is already dead. Now that you're replacing your original self, it's like being reborn. It's quite a good deal~!"

System: "How many people are not as blessed as you."

Hearing this, Sang Luo mocked indifferently: "This blessing is given to you, do you want it?"

“…”

The system was speechless for a moment after being confronted by her.

It was its first mission, and the host it encountered was different from the hosts served by its predecessors.

The hosts served by the predecessors were extremely happy to know that they could be reborn and live another life.

There was a momentary silence.

Sang Luo took the opportunity to feel his new body.

I feel weak all over, dizzy, nauseous, chest tightness, and persistent pain in my right ankle.

What can such a weak body do?

I feel so tired.

Then I listened to other people's discussion about how to deal with her, and their words were full of disgust.

This shows how unpopular the original person was.

I feel even more tired.

"Host host."

The buzzing system didn't let her rest either.

The system thought that it might have been too rigid before and did not allow the host to feel warmth and kindness.

The seniors said that we must build a good relationship with the host so that we can complete the task more efficiently.

Otherwise, if the host and the system fight against each other, it will be these working systems that suffer.

So it spoke very gently: "I will tell you the story now."

Unable to block it out, Sang Luo had to do his best to benefit his ears: "Change to a voice that sounds awesome."

The system feels disliked: "..."

It changed to Long Aotianyin with a wronged look.

This must be so cool.

After calming down, it began to tell the story.

A virus fell from the sky, and the humans unfortunately infected turned into zombies.

Soon order was lost, monsters were rampant, and the end of the world was coming.

In the cruel living environment, the hero and heroine work together to grow into strong men and advance and retreat together to guard the last hope of mankind.

The original body was set to be the male protagonist's fiancée. She came from a wealthy family, was white, rich, and a little bit of a drama queen.

When she entered the school as a freshman, she fell in love with the male protagonist at first sight and launched an offensive.

The male protagonist was having a quarrel with the female protagonist Bai Yueguang, so in order to piss her off, he agreed to be with Sang Luo and got engaged to her.

On the day the virus broke out, she was having dinner with the male protagonist in the school cafeteria when the classmates around them suddenly turned into zombies and pounced on them.

The original body pushed the male protagonist away to avoid a zombie that was rushing towards her, but she herself was knocked to the ground by the zombie.

The male protagonist who escaped the disaster did not go to save her. He saw the helpless female protagonist in the chaotic crowd, and left his original body to save the female protagonist!

At the critical moment, her childhood sweetheart Yi Fan appeared, pushed the zombies away, pulled her out, and hid in the infirmary in a panic.

After this incident, the original body turned evil.

The system said this and announced her main task:

——Integrate into the role and seek revenge on the male and female protagonists.

"I believe the host will be able to complete the task perfectly~~"

The system uses the experience shared by predecessors to instill ideological inspiration and encouragement into the host, making the host full of motivation.

Sang Luo said expressionlessly: "You wish."

system:"……"

It must be that the chicken soup it makes is too stiff and not pleasant enough.

Sang Luo added, "Block out the pain in my body."

The system was stunned and said honestly: "I can't do it."

Sang Luo was shocked: "You don't have this authority?"

The system nodded embarrassedly, it doesn’t have this function.

Sang Luo was desperate: "What's the use of you then?"

The system felt so wronged that she despised it.

The useless system made Sang Luo wonder what sin he had committed to end up here.

She swallowed her burning, dry throat and couldn't lie still any longer. "Is there any water?"

When her voice rang out in the room so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, it immediately attracted everyone's angry glares.

"Shut up! There are zombies outside!" Wang Tianlei growled, wishing he could throw this stupid woman out.

Hu Lingling was close to her and saw that her lips were so dry that they were chapped and cracked. She felt a little sorry for her and quietly picked up a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her.

“What are you doing!”

Wang Tianlei wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

He suppressed his anger and whispered, "We don't have much water to begin with. What will we do if she drinks it?"

The infirmary has several boxes of bottled mineral water in stock to accommodate students who come for medical treatment.

In addition, there is a large bucket of water on the water dispenser.

School doctor Zhang Zhenhua is also a fan of instant noodles and has stockpiled several boxes of instant noodles of various flavors.

Several students hid here for a week thanks to them.

——The water from the tap has an indescribable strange smell. Even if it is boiled, people dare not drink it in this situation and only use it for washing.

By now, the stock of mineral water is running low.

"Alright, alright, students, stop talking. Zombies have very sharp ears."

Zhang Zhenhua tried to smooth things over by adding, "Sang Luo has a fever, so it's only right for him to drink more water."

"She's awake now, who knows if she'll suddenly turn into a zombie."

Wang Tianlei said this unwillingly, but kept silent.

Hu Lingling felt that Sang Luo was very pitiful.

Sang Luo is famous for her beauty.

She was named the campus beauty shortly after entering the school and had many suitors.

Later, her arrogant behavior of breaking up a pair of lovers made many people despise her.

After the news spread, people in the class didn't like her.

But Sang Luo didn't care at all. She lived so recklessly and arrogantly, and her actions made people grit their teeth.

How could those who envy her not envy her?

Such a gifted child is now hiding in the infirmary, emaciated by the high fever.

Yi Fan, who used to take care of her in every way, is also gone.

She was like a rose in full bloom on a branch that was trampled into dirty mud and gradually withered.

As the squad leader, Hu Lingling has a gentle personality.

Therefore, even though Sang Luo's personality was unpleasant, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted towards her.

Sang Luo twisted the bottle cap, but his weak hands couldn't open it.

“…”

Seeing this, Hu Lingling reflected on her own inconsideration. She should have thought that Sang Luo couldn't open the bottle cap.

She quickly took the water, opened it and handed it over.

Sang Luo met Hu Lingling's eyes, and the other smiled at her kindly.

"Thank you."

After drinking half of it in one breath, the burning sensation in my throat finally subsided a little.

She felt much better and smiled at Hu Lingling after drinking.

Hu Lingling was stunned at first by Sang Luo's sudden thanks.

You know, Sang Luo has never been so polite to them.

Then I was amazed by her smile again.

It's really pleasing to the eye when she smiles.

Even though she looks haggard, she still has an indescribable unique charm.

Maybe this is the characteristic of beauty.

Hu Lingling's face turned red for no apparent reason.

Sang Luo raised his eyelids and looked around casually.

The infirmary was quite spacious, with three beds placed in the same direction, and she was lying on the innermost one.

There is a small door on the right side of the main gate, which should be where medicines are stored.

This was probably the room Ning Ziqiu suggested locking her up in.

There is a washbasin on the left side of the door, and next to it is the bathroom.

No wonder they hid in the infirmary for so long and their personal hygiene was still very clean.

There is food, water, and toilets.

It's a good refuge.

There was more than one zombie outside the door, as could be heard from the heavy footsteps. They would occasionally pound on the door.

As if they knew there was delicious meat inside but couldn't find a chance to eat it, the hammer door said they would never give up the delicious food.

suddenly--

A scream that pierced the eardrums came from outside the window, so shrill that it seemed to penetrate the entire campus.

The zombies that were banging on the door now had a new target and ran out with a clatter.

Everyone, who had been on edge, breathed a sigh of relief with mixed feelings.

Sang Luo's bed was next to the window. She leaned over, lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out.

A rather spectacular and terrifying scene appeared before my eyes:

Several students ran frantically, and a group of zombies chased after them. The one who fell behind was quickly caught up and overwhelmed by them.

...This thing will be gnawed to a skeleton!

How painful it must be.

Sang Luo's scalp tingled.

The next moment, a zombie turned around suddenly.

As if sensing something, it came towards this side with its fangs bared.

Her "beautiful" face was completely exposed in Sang Luo's eyes——

The dark and rotten face, the strange and evil eyeballs, the flesh and fascia turned outside, and the dark and dirty blood dripping down.

“…”

Sang Luo quickly lowered the curtains and breathed rapidly.

"Don't look at it next time." Hu Lingling thought she was frightened by her classmate's miserable condition and hurried to comfort her.

Although her hands were stirring restlessly, her eyes were filled with despair and sadness: another classmate was gone.

Sang Luo was still in shock and muttered something.

Hu Lingling's expression suddenly became strange, wondering if she had heard it wrong.

She seemed to hear Sang Luo say: "Fuck you, you're so ugly that it hurts my eyes."

The shocked system: "..."

The hosts served by the seniors were said to be very gentle.

But it feels that its host may not be gentle.

After Sang Luo calmed down, he glanced at several people.

Seven people including her——

An ordinary middle-aged school doctor, with a slightly plump build;

Ordinary young students who have never been out in society:

There was unconcealable fear in everyone's eyes.

It is no exaggeration to describe them as old, weak, sick and disabled.

In particular, she gloriously gathered the “weak, sick and disabled” together.

——She just touched her right ankle and it was very swollen. She was really half disabled.

According to the system, the current zombies are only level one and have not yet begun to evolve.

More monsters are still in the making.

It is a blessing for ordinary people to die at the beginning of the end of the world.

Sang Luo's gaze fell on Wang Tianlei, and he suddenly said, "You're right."

Wang Tianlei didn't know what she was going to do. He stared at her warily and frowned unhappily.

"I'm awake now, but I still have a fever. There's a real possibility that I might suddenly turn into a zombie."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Sang Luo got out of bed, feeling weak and helpless. "So, tie me up and take me to the pharmacy."

...?

Everyone looked at each other.

Sang Luo, who was so considerate of others, seemed unfamiliar to them.

Seeing that Sang Luo had already moved into the pharmacy, Hu Lingling reacted and wanted to stop him.

"Maybe she senses a change in herself and doesn't want any accidents to hurt us," Ning Ziqiu said thoughtfully, "Let's do as she says."

"Is she so kind?" Xu Qi didn't believe it.

Ning Ziqiu glanced at her, and she curled her lips and stopped talking.

Regardless of whether Sang Luo has a change of heart or not, it will not do them any harm.

Perhaps because of her sudden understanding, Sang Luo was treated better.

They didn't tie her up, they just fastened her to a chair, leaving her hands free.

Then, locked the door.

Sang Luo sighed: "They are all good children."

The system was wondering why she was making such a fuss, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Sang Luo waved his free hands: "If I'm a little considerate, they won't feel comfortable tying me up."

And this was exactly what she had planned.

The system was even more confused: "But you won't be infected and turn into a zombie, so you don't need to be isolated at all."

This body is just sick and has a fever.

Sang Luo's eyes curved slightly: "It will change in a moment."

The system was confused: "?"

It’s so difficult to communicate with the host QAQ

Without waiting for it to ask, Sang Luo took out a scalpel like a magic trick.

The system was surprised: "Where did it come from?"

Sang Luo: "Under the pillow."

"Oh," the system realized. It was normal for the infirmary to have a scalpel. It was happy. "I can use it to cut the rope."

Sang Luo curled the corners of his lips in an enigmatic manner.

Her slender, beautiful fingers deftly manipulated the scalpel.

The small, sharp blade seemed to come alive between her fingers.

She said to the system:

"Actually, zombies are just a little ugly. Their abilities are pretty cool. They're not afraid of pain or heat, and they can live indefinitely without feeling anything, right?"

The system couldn't keep up with the host's thinking: "..."

His tone sounded like he quite liked zombies, but he was cursing them just now.

After thinking about it, in order to establish a friendly relationship between the system and the host, it reluctantly agreed: "It's pretty cool."

Sang Luo touched her smooth and delicate face and said, "This face is so beautiful. If it turns into a zombie, it must be a force in the world of corpses."

The system vaguely felt something was wrong: "..."

No!

At this moment, the deftly rotating blade cut a small cut on the index finger of his right hand without any warning.

Oops, I messed up while playing with the knife.

The system wants to laugh.

I'm wondering if I should comfort you...

Sang Luo lifted up his right sleeve.

There was an ominous dark bloodstain on the fair skin on the inside of the wrist.

Then she pressed her cut fingertips against it.

system:"?!"

The system's Long Aotianyin trembled: "What kind of blood is this?"

Sang Luo explained it cheerfully: "It's zombie blood, I just scratched it on the window~"

system:"???"

Long Aotianyin collapsed and screamed: "Why!!!"

"Of course it's for the dog leash."

Sang Luo curved his eyes in pleasure, and there was a misty coldness in his amber eyes.

Oh, she's not stupid.

Having nothing better to do than playing survival games in the apocalypse.
