Chapter 12 Human Transfer Team
Chapter 12 Human Transfer Team
With a new plan in place, and now that it was past noon, the rustling sounds of zombies slowly moving about in the corridor outside the door began again. Everyone could only wait in Lu Yuan's dormitory until noon the next day before they could start their operation.
While everyone was resting, two girls and the boy who hadn't spoken a word entered Lu Yuan and Pei Sihao's room. They really had no sense of boundaries.
Although there wasn't much in the room, Pei Sihao was still very unhappy. Just as he was about to explode, he heard a girl in the room sobbing and saying sorry, while another girl cursed the two men. The man remained silent.
The people outside were dumbfounded. Lu Yuan and Pei Sihao exchanged a "This is just like the script in a post-apocalyptic novel: the wife tearing into the mistress and the scumbag husband!"
Pei Sihao, who was about to get angry, immediately suppressed his temper and squatted by the door, wanting to get a piece of the melon.
Gu Nanfeng chatted briefly with his junior, Ruan Wen, and learned that the troublemaker was Zhong Qiang from the Physical Education Department of G University; they were roommates. After hearing the broadcast, the two of them decided to go to the shelter on their own. Later, seeing the G-Wagon successfully driven out, they remembered that Gu Nanfeng and his friends had two cars. Although other cars weren't entirely out of the question, they figured they should only consider the best option. So, Ruan Wen and Zhong Qiang's goal was to find Gu Nanfeng in room 1203.
They lived on the 16th floor, and when they came out, they saw Yang Xiao on the 18th floor smash a zombie's head with a hammer. He also seemed to be heading to the shelter, so the three of them teamed up. Yang Xiao was a student in the sculpture department of G University's art school, so he had some of his carving tools in his dormitory.
They followed Yang Xiao and searched several rooms with doors that weren't properly closed. They found a fruit knife and a baseball bat as weapons, and some food. On the 13th floor, they encountered the three people who had been fighting. They had been cooped up in a room together for about seven days, and everyone was at their breaking point. The scumbag took the last of the food and water and tried to drive to the shelter by himself. As soon as he opened the door, he ran into Ruan Wen and the others. The two girls in the room immediately noticed that he was trying to run away.
The loud argument attracted zombies from the 13th floor. Yang Xiao, like a professional zombie killer, took down three zombies with a few blows. The other zombies that came after hearing the noise stopped charging, and the three men were rendered speechless.
Then, they successfully found Gu Nanfeng, but unfortunately, Gu Nanfeng's G-Wagon wasn't there. Otherwise, they would be eating communal meals in the shelter right now.
The group of people in dormitory 1203 ate the food that Yang Xiao and Ruan Wen had gathered for dinner. The man and two women still hadn't come out of their room. Yang Xiao, Ruan Wen, and Zhong Qiang each took a sofa in the living room to rest. The longest double sofa was given to the big boss Yang Xiao, who didn't stand on ceremony and went to sleep right away.
Lu Yuan and the other three squeezed into Gu Nanfeng's single room. The room's decor was indeed very much in line with Gu Nanfeng's style. As soon as they entered the room, Pei Sihao unceremoniously lay down on Gu Nanfeng's double bed and patted the other side, saying, "Xiao Yuan, you sleep here."
It wasn't until there were only the four of them left that Lu Yuan realized that the Plan B Gu Nanfeng mentioned was indeed something he had come up with on the spot. As for the map of the underground parking garage, it was just extra maps that Lu Yuan had Wei Guo print out in reserve.
Pei Sihao didn't know about Plan B either, but he still cooperated with Gu Nanfeng naturally, and suddenly felt that he had lowered the fighting power of the dormitory.
Lu Yuan flipped through the hospital bill in his wallet again. Tomorrow he would be facing zombies head-on, and he didn't know if he would ever see his father again. And that person—this space was so important, didn't that person need it themselves? He clearly remembered not having a ring on his hand when he showered, so why had it suddenly appeared on his finger?
"Thinking about your dad?" Pei Sihao was already fast asleep. Gu Nanfeng helped him put a summer blanket over his stomach. Turning around, she saw Lu Yuan still leaning against the bed in a daze. Thinking he was worried about his father who had been frozen in the hospital, she comforted him, "As far as I know, the temperature of frozen humans is close to absolute zero, and they are all placed in a unified manner. The ambient temperature is very low, and the power system is not public electricity. You don't need to worry too much."
Hearing Gu Nanfeng's words, Lu Yuan looked up at him, then glanced at the payment slip in his hand and nodded. Suddenly remembering that Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao hadn't contacted their families in the past few days, he asked, "Is Senior Brother Gu's family safe now?"
“It’s very safe. The outbreak in Beijing started about an hour earlier than in G Province. We contacted them before you came back. They had already entered Beijing’s quarantine zone by then. That’s one of Beijing’s strategic command centers, so their safety is completely guaranteed.” Gu Nanfeng smiled. He didn’t expect Lu Yuan to care about his family. But when he saw Lu Yuan floating towards the sleeping Pei Sihao, he became unhappy. He probably treats all his friends the same way.
"Don't worry about that idiot. His father is a man of some influence in the military now. Apart from this unlucky guy, the rest of the family is in the quarantine zone in Beijing."
"Why did Senior Brother Pei come to our small city to study medicine all by himself? Wouldn't medical schools be better in big cities?" Lu Yuan didn't quite understand. As for Gu Nanfeng, although he and his research group were here, there were special reasons. The new material involved was a very unstable substance, only discovered in G Province. Without fully understanding its properties, Gu Nanfeng's mentor brought the entire team to G University. But for Pei Sihao's medical studies, universities in Beijing were definitely much better than those in G Province.
"I don't know." Gu Nanfeng avoided the question, told Lu Yuan to rest, and then lay down on the floor to sleep.
Lu Yuan also noticed the sudden change in Gu Nanfeng's tone, so he obediently shut up, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
DAY8
Pei Sihao woke Lu Yuan up early in the morning, insisting that he eat a good meal before leaving, considering they would be facing zombies today. Coincidentally, Lu Yuan thought the same thing. He had read many post-apocalyptic novels and watched many zombie movies and TV shows, and even if he safely reached the supermarket after facing zombies today, he felt he wouldn't be able to eat anything.
So the two of them secretly ate some mild-smelling food under the covers with Gu Nanfeng. After they finished eating, Lu Yuan found mouthwash and lemon deodorizer in his space, brushed his teeth, changed his clothes, and made sure that no one could smell what they had eaten before opening the door and going out.
"Didn't Brother Gu say there should be two more people next door? Should we call them?" As they were about to open the door, Lu Yuan suddenly remembered that a few days ago when they roughly counted, they saw that the curtains next door were closed, and Gu Nanfeng guessed that there should be two more people inside.
“When they knocked on your door yesterday, I listened outside their door and heard zombie sounds coming from inside,” Yang Xiao said, glancing at the three people in room 1203. “You should take some weapons for self-defense.”
Lu Yuan had already put away all the knives that Gu Nanfeng and the others could use for self-defense before letting them in. They could pretend to take them out of their bags later without any problem. He looked back at the room again and realized that they didn't have anything like baseball bats. However, he did find a large soup ladle, which could be considered a medium-to-long-range weapon. He couldn't find anything else.
Left with no other choice, the hastily assembled team of ten headed towards the supermarket in the commercial center...
