Chapter 14
Hao Jian is also not clear: “It may be that I bumped into those zombies just now, so some parts are damaged!”
Lian Ru Ning suddenly felt like it was going to be cold.
Hao Jian sighed: “Leave here first. Please pay attention to the door. Even if it is locked, it seems that the lock is a little broken. Don’t let the zombies open the door.”
The car drove far before the group of zombies came around, but the movement of the car was too loud, and it felt that the zombies within a radius were all alarmed, even if the car did not enter their field of vision, they all moved with the wind.
However, zombies have no explosive power, and their speed is far less than half that of humans, and soon they will no longer be able to see them. Even so, they also know that although zombies are not explosive, they don’t know what they are tired, and they will always chase them. Everyone knows the truth of the tortoise and the hare, and they will not be arrogant rabbits.
The sound of the car is getting louder and louder, and the speed of the car is also slowing down. Hao Jian gritted her teeth and asked Lian Runing to open her offline map to see if there was a suitable shelter nearby.
“There are town government office buildings, a health clinic, a bank, two elementary schools, and a middle school nearby.”
“Town government office buildings and health centers are not safe, but banks and schools are worth considering.”
“There are more residential houses and supermarkets near the bank.” Lian Ru Ning reminded that this type of place is often the place with the most people, and it is also the place where zombies are most likely to wander. In comparison, elementary and middle schools would definitely choose to go home when the incident occurred, but there were a lot fewer zombies left in the school.
“The neighborhood of the school is relatively remote,” Lian Runing said again.
The town’s school is not as good as the city’s school. Generally, this type of school is relatively run-down and the students who are charged are also children from the nearby villages, so it is not too big and the location is not very good.
“Point out the way.” Hao Jian said.
Turn left in the car, and after a dozen residential buildings built on the side of the road, you can see a building standing alone on the side of the field. There is an iron plate in front of it with the words “Xinhe Primary School” engraved on it. .
There is a building next to the elementary school. According to its style, it looks like a small shop. On the right side of the school is a village road going deep, and private houses.
This elementary school looks a bit dilapidated, even the iron gates are rusty, and it looks like it hasn’t been repaired for a long time. But the iron door was closed tightly, and I don’t know if it was locked.
“I’ll go down and have a look, you can help pay attention to the situation.” Hao Jian grabbed the crowbar, grabbed the walkie-talkie, and got out of the car. Lian Ru Ning also got out of the car, holding a flashlight in her hand, and said, “I’ll go with you!”
Hao Jian thought for a while, but didn’t refuse. She walked to the iron gate, touched the lock, and found that the lock had been locked. Looking up at the top of the head, the entrance of the school is three meters high, and the iron gate is more than two meters high. There are spikes on it to prevent people from turning over.
“The lock from the inside, there should be someone inside.” Hao Jian said.
Lian Ru Ning glanced back at the roads and quiet houses that disappeared under the dark night filled with thick ink, and gritted his teeth and shouted inwardly: “Is there anyone?”
Is there anyone…someone…person…
Her voice echoed on the empty court, and at the same time it also resounded across the sky. Finally, there was some movement in the houses, but still no one came out.
Hao Jian was taken aback by her shout, but didn’t stop her either, instead paying attention to whether there were attracted zombies around.
After a while, there was finally a slight movement in the school, and I saw a beam of light dangling over. Lian Ru Ning shone the flashlight, and saw a petite woman approaching cautiously.
Suddenly, Hao Jian roared: “Open the door!”
The woman was taken aback and stopped immediately. Lian Ru Ning was puzzled as to why Hao Jian was suddenly so anxious, but saw Hao Jian biting the flashlight, then raised the crowbar and waved it back.
“Ah…” The groan-groan of the zombie rang in his ears, and she got goosebumps all over her body, she couldn’t help knocking on the door quickly: “Open the door!”
The woman was even more reluctant to open her eyes. Her eyes were on Hao Jian who was fighting with the zombies. She saw Hao Jian calmly knocking the zombie’s head like a watermelon to break. She even more tumbling in her stomach, she suddenly vomited Came out.
“Open the door.” Hao Jian knocked on the iron door with the crowbar, and the woman vomited. He hesitated for a moment and came over to open the door for them.
______
Hao Jian put the flesh and blood on the crowbar into the sink to clean it, and Lian Ru Ning also washed her face with water on the side. The woman stood two meters away from them, looking at them warily.
“We are not infected, you can rest assured.” Lian Runing explained.
The woman was relieved when she heard the words.
“By the way, my name is Lian Ru Ning, and her name is Hao Jian. I haven’t thank you for opening the door yet.” Lian Ru Ning said with a smile.
“I, my name is Xin Ting.” The woman said weakly.
Xin Ting is an intern teacher here, far away from home, so she has always lived in the school’s teacher dormitory. When the zombie virus broke out, she had to stay at school on duty, so she had never been aware of the outside situation. When she discovered with hindsight, she had already missed the time to escape, so she could only continue to stay in school and wait for rescue.
She knew the situation outside from Lian Runing’s mouth, and knew that rescue might never come, and she suddenly felt a little bit ashamed. She has always been very timid and fearful. It is impossible for her to go home like Hao Jian and Lian Runing through the hordes of zombies. Thinking about it this way, she seems to be trapped here to die.
“Ouuuu…” Xin Ting’s crying sound came, and Lian Ru Ning suddenly became a little flustered. She knew very well how a person felt after losing all hope, as if the whole world had collapsed. If she hadn’t been obsessed with finding people back home, I’m afraid she would have lived like a zombie.
She wanted to persuade Xin Ting to cheer, but Xin Ting’s timidity was rooted in her bones, and she couldn’t instigate Xin Ting to find a goal to live like she did.
“I’m sorry.” Lian Runing apologized in a low voice. She shouldn’t have told Xin Ting this cruel fact.
Xin Ting cried harder and harder. Lian Ru Ning panicked and wanted to ask Hao Jian for help, only to find that she had opened the front cover of the car and was focusing on checking the car’s accessories.
“You can repair cars?” Lian Ru Ning asked in surprise.
Hao Jian turned his head: “No.”
“…” Lian Ru Ning paused, extinguishing the thought of asking her to help comfort Xin Ting.
It is impossible for Xin Ting to cry so hard that Hao Jian could not hear her, but she still pretends to repair a car without knowing how to repair it, with only one purpose-not to interfere with Xin Ting’s affairs.
Xin Ting heard Hao Jian’s answer and replied weakly while sobbing: “I, I can repair the car.”
Lian Ru Ning was so startled that she didn’t speak for a while, Xin Ting wiped away her tears and explained: “Although I am a teacher, my family runs an auto repair shop. I can learn some simple car repair skills.”
“Then we are really lucky!” Lian Ru Ning smiled.
Xin Ting sobbed and walked to Hao Jian’s side, and asked, “Can you help me?”
Hao Jian nodded, raised the flashlight to help her light up, and explained the situation. Xin Ting first inspected the chassis and found no abnormalities, and then inspected various ball joints. After inspecting the balance bar connecting rod, it was found that there was a problem with the shock absorber strut bearing.
“There is no new shock-absorbing strut bearing that can be replaced, but there is still no big problem with this point of damage.” Xin Ting said.
Hao Jian scratched his head and said, “As long as there is no major problem, let’s go ahead!”
“Thanks for your hard work.” Lian Ru Ning handed Xin Ting a bottle of drink, and Xin Ting took the drink and smiled.
“By the way, have you eaten anything?” Lian Ru Ning took out the supper that you and his wife had packed for them from the car.
Xin Ting looked at the lunch box and swallowed imperceptibly. But her education told her, “No, it’s not easy to find something to eat at this time, eat it!”
“It’s not an easy-to-preserve food, eat it before it rots away!” Hao Jian also said.
Xin Ting took the lunch box hesitantly, looked at them again, and said, “Let’s eat together!”
Neither Lian Runing nor Hao Jian objected. They have consumed a lot of energy and energy after dinner. Although they are not hungry, they also have a lot of appetite.
After eating these meals, Xin Ting glanced at her watch and found that the pointer had been pointing at four o’clock in the morning. However, Lian Runing and Hao Jian had too short a break, so they listened to Xin Ting’s suggestion to sleep first in the teachers’ dormitory.
______
Xinhe Primary School is not very big. It only has a three-story teaching building, a basketball court and a badminton court. Opposite the teaching building is a two-story teacher’s dormitory with a total of seven or eight rooms.
“Usually they are assigned to the teachers who live far away here. They don’t have much here, but they didn’t take away anything like mattresses when they left, so you can choose a room at will. Come to sleep.”
Lian Ru Ning is not as embarrassed: “Where to sleep is the second, but I don’t know if there is electricity and hot water…”
Xin Ting understood that she was already sweating just to help look at the car just now. If she didn’t take a shower, she might be stinky in one day.
“We have been out of power here, but power outages here are commonplace, and in order for daily teaching activities to be carried out normally, our school will have a generator.”
“Forget it, if the generator makes too much noise, it will attract zombies.” Lian Ru Ning said.
After Lian Ru Ning rubbed her body with cold water, she went to rest first. She and Hao Jian agreed to rest alone and watch the night, lest any zombies come over and don’t know the situation. She rested for four hours first, and the walkie-talkie was placed next to her pillow, so that Hao Jian could wake her up at any time.
When Hao Jian was patrolling around the school, she found several one-meter-long wooden sticks. She weighed them in her hand, and found a kitchen knife. Sharpened one end of the stick and tried the effect with a basketball. Found that the effect is significant.
Hearing the unusual sound of footsteps, Hao Jian became vigilant and pointed back while holding the wooden thorn.
“Ah!” Xin Ting exclaimed. If she gets closer, the thorns will scratch her face.
“It’s you!” Hao Jian withdrew the wooden thorn. The experience of the past few days has made her nerves a little more sensitive and her movements sharper.
“You, don’t you rest?” Xin Ting was so scared that her heart was still thumping.
“I’ll take a rest later,” Hao Jian said, and asked questioningly, “On the contrary, it’s you, why don’t you take a rest?”
“I, I can’t sleep.” Xin Ting took a deep breath. “As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw the scene of students returning for school cleaning activities biting at children of the same age. At that time, the school was in chaos. A few students, teachers on duty… everyone flees desperately. The school that was already ruined is even more desolate after that, I’m afraid…”
She wants to escape too, but where can she escape? She was assigned here for an internship. She was hundreds of miles away from home, without transportation, and it was very chaotic outside. How could she escape from here?
“Will you stay here too? It’s safe here. There is a small shop at the door, and there are enough food to support us for a while. There are farmland nearby, and we can also pick some vegetables in the field to eat.” Xin Ting was nervous. To make her suggestion.
Hao Jian looked at her in silence for a while before saying: “Lian Ru Ning is also scared.”
Xin Ting looked at her in confusion, only to hear her continue to say: “Lian Ru Ning is also afraid of all this, but she wants to go home and find her relatives. So even if she feels scared, she will be brave Stand up, go out, and go to the most dangerous place, just for the obsession in your heart.”
“It’s normal to be afraid when you encounter such a thing. But if you shrink back because you are afraid, it’s the same as catching with one’s hands. It’s a little bit useless.”
Xin Ting shook her head and said, “But you don’t even know how terrible it is!”
“The big deal is to die.” Hao Jian said lightly.
“Do you not cherish life so much?”
“It’s not that I don’t cherish life, but that there are many ways to live, but you can choose the one that you think is the most meaningful. I choose to leave with her, and it will not necessarily lead to the loss of my life, as if you stay here, it is not necessarily very It’s safe.”
Xin Ting couldn’t understand, but after five hours, she soberly realized-Hao Jian was right.
