Chapter 6: Rainfall causes two dangers, increasing the number of zombies.
At that moment, the torrential rain outside stopped. The three people and one machine from room 1203 sat around the small coffee table in the living room. On the coffee table in the middle were three evenly distributed cups of cola and an empty cola bottle.
Before opening the bottle of cola, Gu Nanfeng cautiously glanced at the production date. Good, it was produced back in 2010, with a shelf life of nine months. Although it was very fizzy after opening and didn't smell anything strange, none of the three dared to take the first sip.
"I believe you haven't been hiding anything. This must be some kind of family heirloom." Pei Sihao stared at the soda in his cup. If the water really couldn't be drunk anymore, this 100ml of expired cola would be his source of life.
"I really do have a system, and it has a lot of things in it, but I can't open it now." Lu Yuan thought that the things given by the system in the system novels he read had not expired, so in order to prove that he really had a system, he took a small sip of the cola in his cup, so fast that Gu Nanfeng did not have time to stop him.
"Ah! Help! Let me go!" "Help! No!" "Go away! Monster!" The sudden shouts came from all directions in the dormitory area. Not only in Lu Yuan's building, but also the three of them and the machine immediately rushed to the balcony to investigate.
They could clearly see the girls' dormitory building across the street. Several girls, one or two at a time, were standing on the balconies of several floors, calling for help. Behind them, behind the closed glass doors, they were pounding on the glass, but their joints were twisted, their eyes rolled back, and their mouths were moving involuntarily. They were too far away to hear the zombies' sounds, but judging from the girls' expressions, they knew that the sounds were not pleasant.
More and more boys went out to check the balconies of the boys' dormitories, while more and more girls started screaming for help. The glass doors were no match for the girls who had turned into zombies; they shattered after a few thuds. The girls who did not want to become zombies chose to jump off the buildings without hesitation.
Since there were no zombies downstairs, there might still be a chance to survive. The girls, whose floors were too high, decided that they would rather die than become zombies, so they started climbing down from the balconies. The lucky ones made their way down to a lower floor and then jumped down. The unlucky ones either slipped and fell straight down, or landed in a dormitory with zombies and instantly became one of them.
Similar situations occurred in several male dormitories, but not as many as in the female dormitories. In some male dormitories closer to the female dormitories, some brave boys braved the heat, wearing thick down jackets and motorcycle helmets, and went to rescue people as soon as they opened the door.
Some rushed over from other buildings to rescue their girlfriends. While they were there, they also ransacked several convenience stores that were still open, since there weren't many zombies in the dormitory quarantine area. After all, no one was sure that rescue would arrive tomorrow, and many people hadn't eaten for at least a day.
"Tsk, if our dorm wasn't on the 12th floor, the person happily shopping with Lin Xue right now wouldn't be that idiot." Pei Sihao watched the students downstairs quickly sweeping up food at the convenience store and coming out of the checkout one after another. He then noticed that the C University's newly crowned campus belle, whom he was currently pursuing, was walking towards the B-building boys' dormitory with another guy, carrying food.
"Technological advancements are great; you can't even buy things for free anymore." Lu Yuan, holding his cola, sipped it slowly while observing the students downstairs who were overjoyed with their food purchases, and those eagerly waiting outside the dorm to grab some supplies. If he didn't have a system, he probably would have gone downstairs by now. Oh wait, there are still a few zombies in their hallway.
"I don't feel well; the rainwater on the ground hasn't completely dried." Although the temperature has been around 40 degrees Celsius for the past few days, the downpour just now lasted quite a while, and the rainwater on the ground hadn't completely evaporated. Thinking of this, Gu Nanfeng immediately pulled the two people who were still watching back into the living room, quickly closed the balcony doors and windows, and then immediately checked all the doors and windows in the house before turning on the whole-house air purifier. Thanks to the increasing number of viruses in this world, and the various inventions scientists have made to combat viruses.
The instant Gu Nanfeng finished doing all this, food scattered all over the ground downstairs, and everyone mutated into zombies within those few minutes. People who had turned into zombies also began to crawl out of the dormitories on the lower floors with their windows open. The number of zombies wandering around the dormitory area increased many times over, not even considering those who had mutated inside the rooms due to excessive inhalation of rainwater and evaporating gases from open windows.
"Urgent Notice! Urgent Notice! All citizens are urged to avoid contact with rainwater, strictly adhere to the silence management policy, and immediately turn on air purifiers and set them to virus purification mode. Until further notice, please do not use water from the city's water supply pipes and do not open windows for ventilation. All centralized quarantine areas will have their municipal air purification systems activated. Each quarantine area will report the infection status and the number of people in quarantine. The government and military will arrange supplies as soon as possible! Citizens, please do not panic and trust us!"
Many drones flew over the campus, each playing a loop, indicating that this kind of incident didn't just happen in the university town.
