Chapter 181: Dead Siege Practice (XVIII)
Squad leader?
Yu Wei was completely bewildered. Apart from the four people from class 606 whom she had just met today, she knew nothing about anyone else in this school, let alone the girl outside the door who claimed to be the class monitor.
"You guys, don't you remember me? I'm the class monitor."
There were two giggles outside the door, but the tone was as hoarse as a stone rubbing against a chopping board.
Yu Wei instantly got goosebumps on her back.
She racked her brains to answer: "Hello, class monitor, what can I do for you?"
"I want to..." The squad leader's voice became lower and lower, so low that Yu Wei had to lean against the door to listen. Only then did a rough voice sound in her ear: "I want to go in."
Bang bang bang bang! !
The iron gate was suddenly and violently slammed, and Yu Wei screamed in shock and took several steps back, almost falling to the ground.
"Let me in, let me in!"
The noise outside the door was sometimes crazy and sometimes weak, and the sound of banging on the door was sometimes louder and sometimes softer. Yu Wei felt her heart and head pounding, and she couldn't help but feel very lucky that she didn't open the door at the beginning.
Her life-saving instinct told her that it was impossible to open the door, absolutely impossible.
The day before yesterday, on her way to 606, she had seen several groups of infected people who were still sane. Some of them not only acted normally, but could even hold simple conversations—and use this to trick other students out.
But in fact, these people's brains have already mutated.
After realizing that she couldn't communicate normally with the "person" outside the door, Yu Wei closed her mouth and stopped talking. No matter how people banged on the door, she pretended that she didn't exist.
If the sky falls, there is an iron gate with iron chains to block it, and she is just a poor little thing shivering and waiting for the boss to come back.
Amidst the terrifying whispers and banging sounds on the door, Yu Wei ate another bag of potato chips with tears in her eyes.
Just as she was about to reach for the next bag, the loud noise outside suddenly stopped.
Boom!
A muffled sound burst out from the air, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and silence returned outside the door.
Yu Wei was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: Boss Tang and the others are back?
However, this time, no matter how long she waited, there was still silence outside the door. There was no sound of the door being unlocked, nor was there any knocking on the door.
So who knocked the “squad leader” unconscious just now?
Could it be that the IQ of the infected people is now high enough to fish?
Yu Wei was still in a daze when the crisp ring of her phone suddenly broke the stagnant air. The screen displayed a familiar number:
It’s a call from Tang Xinjue!
After listening to Yu Wei's retelling of what had just happened as if she had been reborn, Tang Xinjue thought for two seconds and asked her to open the door a crack and take a look.
There are three iron chains blocking the inside of the dormitory door. Even if someone is lying in ambush, they cannot break through this line of defense.
Yu Wei felt relieved and walked to the door as she was told, carefully pressing the handle.
There was still no movement outside.
She prepared herself mentally, took two deep breaths, and then dodged to face the crack in the door: there was still nothing outside.
"Strange, is there really no one here?"
Yu Wei was completely bewildered and could only close the door again: "But I clearly heard it...Ah!"
The force of closing the door was suddenly blocked. Yu Wei reflexively jumped and rushed to the door to slam it shut. "Help, sir! There really is an ambush!"
"Ambush? Where is the ambush?"
An even more terrified female voice was heard outside the door, and the force pushing the door inward suddenly doubled, directly pushing Yu Wei out!
Yu Wei: “…”
The door was completely opened, and a familiar figure rushed in quickly. Then he closed the door again with lightning speed, and then patted his chest lightly: "Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have been ambushed."
Yu Wei slowly came back to her senses: "Guo, Guo classmate?"
Guo Guo opened his eyes wide: "It's me. By the way, what kind of ambush was there just now?"
“…”
After a brief explanation, Guo Guo finally reacted: "So it's not that there's an ambush outside the door, but that you mistook me for an ambush?"
Yu Wei nodded quickly, still feeling a lingering fear : "You didn't say a word for a long time after you defeated the infected person just now. I thought I was hallucinating."
Guo Guo was almost figuring it out, but was confused again when he heard this: "Wait, when did I fight the infected? What infected?"
Yu Wei: “???”
She pointed outside: "It's the one lying outside. She said she was your squad leader and asked you to open the door for her..."
Guo Guo took a deep breath, and his face, which was already pale from the intense exercise, seemed even paler.
"But the infected person you mentioned should have died two days ago... and when I just came back, I didn't see anything outside."
On the other end of the phone, Tang Xinjue and the other two were silent for a moment: "Perhaps you should check again."
Soon, the door to Dormitory 606 opened for the second time. This time, two little heads overlapped, cautiously peering out.
As the gap in the door widened, a thick bloodstain suddenly appeared in their field of vision, extending outward along the ground. The two followed the bloodstain and saw it disappear under the door of the dormitory opposite.
The door opposite was now tightly closed.
Neither of them said anything.
——Either the "class monitor" fell down and crawled into the opposite dormitory by himself; or, someone from the opposite dormitory knocked it unconscious and dragged it in.
Unfortunately, now is not the right time to explore either possibility.
The two of them decisively closed the door again, and only then did they feel the chill that had crept up the back of their heads slowly disappear.
Peace and security have temporarily returned to the world.
Guo Guo's timidity was well known, and Yu Wei wasn't particularly courageous under normal circumstances. Leaving them alone in the dorm room could easily lead to a double panic—a fact the other three members of 606 knew all too well, so they rushed back with unprecedented speed.
The five of them reunited in the dormitory. It was only the middle of the morning, but it felt like ages had passed.
After taking a breath, Yu Wei heard another piece of bad news before she could finish her second bag of potato chips:
The four of them are going out again!
"So, I have to guard the tower alone again?" Yu Wei opened her mouth in despair, and potato chips fell into her palm.
Tang Xinjue thought for a moment and said, "If you're interested, you can go out with us."
Yu Wei asked curiously, "Then what are you going out to do?"
Tang Xin Jue: "External communication."
Zhang You: "Cooperate in the jungle."
Zheng Wanqing: "Take them down!"
Yu Wei: “…”
"I will definitely guard the dormitory carefully and wait for you to come back."
She raised her hand and swore.
"The airdrop is less than an hour away. Excluding travel time, we have about half an hour. Is that enough?"
Zhang You asked seriously.
Tang Xin Jue: "Two are not enough, but one is enough."
Guo Guo only understood half of what she had heard. Although she had a general understanding of what the three of them had experienced that morning, she was still a little confused about what to do next:
"Are we going to the East Gate Canteen now? What are we going to do with the base there?"
Tang Xin Jue replied: "Repeat what Wan Qing did before and open the gate and let them go."
In a short moment, they arrived at the East Gate Canteen. The four of them followed the path Tang Xinjue had taken to the rooftop, then pried open a small door leading inside.
After the iron plate was moved away, a narrow wooden ladder emerged from the dark space.
"But this time, we're not just releasing the people; we're also giving some things some fresh air. For example, stored food... or some potions that can react with other medicines and even suppress mutations."
Tang Xin Jue leaped into the darkness.
Five minutes later, a scream erupted from the peaceful cafeteria:
"Help! There's a fire!!"
