Qiu Yingying and her roommate had a fever, who had washed their hair with water yesterday. They had a.s.sumed that everything would be fine as long as they don't drink contaminated water, but it turned out to be that even with a little contact, they would become zombies.

Originally, there was only Qiu Yingying and her roommate left in the dorm room. So when her roommate became a zombie, her roommate's nails scratched her neck, leaving a deep gash with blood, tears bursting forth like water from a dam, spilling down her face. She screeched and shortly, the instructor came to kill her roommate.

  No one found the wound on her neck covered by her hair.

Qiu Yingying felt a knot in her stomach, tension grew in her face and limbs, her mind replaying the recent attack. She closed the door of her dorm room, it would've been great if she had gone to the cafeteria to get food in the morning, now, she did not dare to go, the pain had left her feeling groggy.

    She laid down on her bed, cheeks burning with the flush of fever.

 “Mom …” Qiu Yingying said with no strength in her voice, just a whisper. She wouldn't dare cry out loud, fearing that someone might something find wrong with her.

    She was wrapped tightly within a thin quilt and even with that, she had no sense of security. Her body quivered in short, quick gasps. Dark shadows appeared in her vision.

  Every time she'd get close to sleep, she bit herself fiercely, and a new intimidating spell would force her awake, `she will get better'

    She didn't dare to sleep or fainted like this. Her intuition told her that as long as she lost her consciousness, she would become like her roommate.

The place where the instructor had killed her roommate earlier was stained with black blood on the ground, emitting a stench. Qiu Yingying shrank under her covers and s.h.i.+vered, she dared not get out of bed.

So unbearable and..hungry but in her current situation, she couldn't even think of going out, once she did, she'd be exposed.

She pursed her lips.

Zhang Zhongmin summoned the instructors and the security team who guarded the four gates. The school security team started using walkie-talkie, they all were in charge of different areas, once anything abnormal happens at the gate, others would be contacted immediately.

    “Now, let's tally the time it took for someone to turn into a zombie.” Zhang Zhongmin sat in the cafeteria chair and asked the remaining nine instructors to sit down, all carrying grave faces.

The man sitting closest to Zhang Zhongmin wore a camouflage suit. He held a book in his hand, with data recorded on it: “I inquired during this time. People who drank from an infected water source turned into a zombie in about three minutes, the fastest mutation.”

    “Right.” Zhang Zhongmin said: “Secondly, if bitten by a zombie, it would depend on their own situation. It varies from three to twenty minutes. The slowest one was scratched by a zombie nail."

Zhang Zhongmin looked at everyone and placed the book in Liu Guoan 's hands on the table: "Generally, people who get scratched will have a fever, and the time for the corpse to change is between six hours and twenty-four hours. That's all we know for now.”

These statistics were very painful.

“Squad leader, I suggest counting the number of people left in the school. Every day, we must gather people on the playground, and then arrange people to do thermal screening on everyone to prevent something disastrous from happening.” One of the youngest instructors said.

 Yes, Zhang Zhongmin was their squad leader. This time, they came to the city D for military training with two squads, and the squad leader from the other team was injured in the chaos and turned into a zombie.

    What was left behind was a combination of a few people from the previous squad and some from Zhang Zhongmin 's own team, and some who went to contact the military department. Unfortunately, there was still no news.

Zhang Zhongmin thought about Xiao Bin's words: “Yes, at the moment of crisis, we can't let anyone or anything be sloppy. Unfortunately. there was not enough manpower, this matter can only be left to the school teachers.”

 “Xiao Bin, you immediately gather the teachers and arrange this matter.”

“Yes!” Xiao Bin stood up, gave a military salute, and turned to look for the school teachers.

Liu Guoan said hesitantly: “There was also the problem of food. Now that the cafeteria was in short supply, we might only be able to support it for a week at most. These students were too timid to let them go out and collect food. Simply impossible.”

“But if we go out, school safety becomes another issue.”

“Guts are to be trained, who was not afraid first? Who was not timid? Girls aside, I suggest that we organize all the boys into ten teams, train and lead them  separately as well as go out and gather food.” Deng Wencong said with a dark face.

Who was not afraid here? That ghost-like thing, even they were afraid. They also wanted to protect this group of students, but a st.i.tch in time saves nine.

They can protect these students for a while but not for a lifetime. The circ.u.mstances right now were dire, no one knows what lies ahead, they can only make best preparations for the worst case scenario.

“No, not just boys, but all the teachers and students in the school need to be  trained. We need to teach them self-defense skills in the shortest time possible. How much they can learn depends on what they can do.”

Zhang Zhongmin was not in favour of this differentiated treatment, training will always be a good thing and everyone needs it equally.

It was already dark when Fu Cao arrived at her exclusive restaurant. She had collected a lot of supermarket items on the road. She could barely move all the food, but she still took away the instant noodles, ham, sausages and other things.

 There, she also collected a lot of mineral water and then sanitary napkins. Because she would be using it too. Placing these items in her s.p.a.ce, she had nothing to worry about. Expiration? What's that?

Just like what she thought whenever she wanted to release her spiritual power, all the zombies around would willingly surrender. This was the act of surrendering to higher-order zombies by lower-order zombies.

Fu Cao exerted spiritual power to open the shutter

On a quiet night, the sound of the rolling shutter opening was especially loud and clear that it woke up the team of security guards who took turns to patrol at night. During this time, the instructors and security guards took turns to monitor the situation.

The security team stood on guard for a long time when they heard the sound of closing the shutter again.

 After listening closely for another moment, there was no sound. The security team's  leader wondered who would have come out to find something at this time … he scratched his head, he was not one of those instructors. As long as that thing didn't come to school, he pretended didn't see it.

Fu Cao turned on the lights and looked at the decor of the shop, it was exquisite. The restaurant had two floors, but when it was renovated, Fu Cao changed the upper floor into a bedroom.

Inside the s.p.a.ce, a pig was being killed in a conscious manner, the pork was nicely divided into chunks and placed in the kitchen outside the cabin. After taking out a piece of meat, she cut it with a knife before taking the chopsticks and eating the thinly sliced meat piece by piece.

It was only when she felt full that she turned off the light downstairs and went back to sleep upstairs. She did not know for how long the electricity would last.

  Qiu Yingying couldn't resist falling asleep in the end, and when she woke up the next morning, she blinked and a pair of tears raced down her chin. Her sobs echoed in the room. It was a cry of relief.

She did not become a zombie, she was still alive and well, but because she had a fever for two day and nights, her lips were chapped. When she cried, her lips sorely hurt, and her dry throat was extremely sore.

She hastily got out of bed and took a look at the water bottle, there was not even a single drop of water in the bottle.

Disappointed, she collapsed on her bed and felt something damp in her hands.

Looking up, water was still still trickling down her hand.

Qiu Yingying was stunned for a while. Where did the water come from? Neither did she got down from her bed nor did she pick up the water bottle. There was no way she would go to the sink or touch the tap.

Suddenly, she had a notion, and she placed her hand at the mouth of the water bottle while she focused on her hand. A small stream of water slipped out of her fingers and fell into the water bottle. Until there was half a bottle of water, the water in her fingers reduced and slowly trickled down drop by drop. When she first woke up she was full of life, but now she only felt exhausted and drained.

Seeing that she couldn't get out of the water anymore, she quickly picked up the gla.s.s besides her and poured herself water, then chucked two gla.s.ses of water before stopping.When she stopped, she was worn out and fell asleep.

The teachers in the school had already started counting the students in the school, looking up in their rooms one by one. Fortunately, the zombies were all cleaned up before, otherwise these teachers would not dare to come at all.

The male and female teachers separately counted the students in male and female dormitory.

When she came to Qiu Yingying's dorm room, the female teacher knocked on the door and waited until there was no response, she muttered: “Is there no one in this bedroom?”

The door k.n.o.b was fastened and locked. Naturally, a locked bedroom cannot be empty.

“Could it be … a zombie?” Another female teacher swallowed her saliva. The ones who came to tally were young teachers. The instructors did not dare let older teachers come to count the numbers.

“No, no … the zombies in the school were all cleaned up.” Another female teacher said with uncertainty and fear in her tone. She was also suspicious.

 “Perhaps, maybe they were injured … afraid to be killed, so they dared not to tell anyone to hide inside?” Several people looked at each other and swallowed.

“Let's just knock on the door, zombies … they won't be able to open the door.” Although they have the keys in their hands, they could not pluck up courage to open the door. What if there is a zombie inside?

After knocking for a while they still couldn't hear a response.

“How about we open the door and have a look inside? If there is a zombie, there's no way it would be this peaceful.” The female teacher was quite sensible.

Because the zombies could not open the door, It would certainly come over, roar and scratch the door, it can't be so quiet.

 “Forget it, forget it … let's go somewhere else.” Several other female teachers said timidly.

    “If you want to be afraid, then allow me to open it.” The female teacher in professional attire with her hair tied in a high ponytail, looked at them with disgust.

Fear, who was not afraid? But this is for the safety of all of them.

When she was about to open the door, although they couldn't just run away, they hid as far as they could. But from their posture, it was obvious they were planning to immediately run away as soon as something went wrong.

The female teacher standing at the door could also feel her stomach lurch and her heart ache, although she reasonably told herself that there were no zombies inside, yet she couldn't help but be afraid.

She took out the keys and found the key to this bedroom.

 ‘Click'.

Several people swallowed nervously.

As she opened the door, a foul smell a.s.saulted their senses. The female teacher was so terrified, she could feel her hair curl and wanted nothing more than to close the door when she suddenly saw dry black blood on the ground.

No one rushed over, she hesitated for a second and opened the door completely.

The room was for eight people with four bunk beds. A figure laid on the top bunk of one of the beds besides the door, where a hand dangled motionlessly.

The female teacher felt as if her heart was in her throat. She took a deep breath to calm down her heart from palpitating wildly and did not dare to approach: “Student? Wake up, student?”

Qiu Yingying, who just got her powers, didn't know how to control it yet was completely exhausted and dazed, she heard something, and moved, but her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open her eyes for a long time.

Seeing the hand that fell on the edge of the bed move, the female teacher almost turned around and ran away. Her voice shook a little: “Student?”

“Huh?” Qiu Yingying responded in a nasal voice, after listening to these coherent words, the female teacher's heart finally landed into her chest. She was relieved that she was not greeted with a hissing roar.

With a sigh of relief, she walked over: “Student, wake up, let's register your information.”

After a long time, Qiu Yingying finally opened her eyes diligently. She was still dizzy when she got up from the bed, her eyes had no focus at all.

“Student?” The female teacher almost laughed. At a time like this where everyone is terrified, this student could still sleep like a dead log, simply not worrying at all.

“Ah–teacher? Is there something wrong?” Qiu Yingying saw the name tag on the female teacher's chest, Qiu Yinlan, a teacher from the Mathematics Department.

Qiu Yinlan held the book in his hand and said: “I came here to collect the data of the people in the school. What is your name?”

“Qiu Yingying.” Qiu Yingying said, as she brought out her ident.i.ty card and pa.s.sed it to Qiu Yinlan.
