Becoming Stronger in the Last Days (2)

Su Xiao realized what he had done after hearing what the other said, and quickly let go of his hand like an electric shock. His ears were red, as if he could not understand why he would subconsciously pull his clothes.

This time he did not dare to even look at him, but taking into account the injuries on the other’s shoulders, he looked up again with courage and asked “how are you feeling now? Where do you feel uncomfortable?”

When he raised his head, he met the black eyes that were not covered by the lens. Su Xiao suddenly realized that Shen Moyan´s eyes were really beautiful. It was obvious that there was no smile in his eyes, but when the peach blossom1 eyes were watching him calmly, Su Xiao still couldn’t help it, his heart trembled slightly.

Did Shen Moyan look like this?

“Is there anything I can help you with…”

Although Su Xiao said so, he himself knew that in this situation, he could not help at all, he couldn’t even help Shen Moyan lighten some of the burden.

Anyone who had watched a zombie movie knows that if someone is scratched by a zombie, he will be infected, not to mention that a large piece of Shen Moyan´s shoulder was bitten off, the wound was shocking even for him. He didn´t dare to look at it.

“Stay away from me.” After he spoke, his voice became much duller than usual.

Shen Moyan did not fall down. The moment that Su Xiao pushed open and closed the door abruptly had consumed most of his energy. Now his whole body is aching, like being torn from the inside.

There is still someone here at this time.

Shen Moyan was more wary of outsiders than he thought. If he was the only one in this classroom now, he would probably fall to the ground without any scruples and forcibly endure the pain, but now Su Xiao was there, so he didn’t move.

At this moment, there was a loud crash outside the door, and the original sound of zombies trying to hit the door suddenly disappeared.

The door was opened, and outside the door was a teacher holding a fire axe. When the zombie invaded the school, he was obviously on the way to class on the highest floor of the teaching building. When he was about to escape, he found a zombie with a broken arm knocking on a door, he guessed that there must be a student in it, so he mustered up the courage to smash the fire cabinet on the floor, and chop off the head of the zombie with the fire axe inside.

The zombie virus will quickly corrode the human body. After completely turning into a zombie, it will become a real carrion, just like when Shen Moyan closed the door and squeezed the zombie’s hand smoothly. No matter how hard the head is, the strength of an adult man put on the axe is enough to smash a head.

Perhaps it was the profession of a teacher that gave him a sense of responsibility, or perhaps not everyone was so cold-blooded and ruthless in the most critical time. At this time, he opened the door and saw that there were two students in the classroom. The teacher was thankful that he didn´t escaped just now.    

“Are you all right? Where are the other students? We have to leave the school now and look for the police.” He successfully hacked a zombie to death without taking any damage, this gave him a little courage. Chen Dian felt that the zombie did not seem so difficult to deal with, maybe he can take the surviving students to find asylum with the police.    

“Mr. Chen!” Su Xiao was overjoyed, “Shen Moyan was bitten by a zombie, we have to take him to the infirmary!”

The closest hospital near their university takes half an hour by car. Zombies are rampant in the school and the situation outside may not be so optimistic. It was impossible to rush to the hospital in a short period of time. The most feasible route was to expect that the infirmary could help Shen Moyan.    

At first, Chen Dian didn’t see the wound on Shen Moyan’s shoulder. He saw a zombie hit the door and thought that the two students fled into the classroom and hid inside. At this time, he saw that another student had obviously a corrupted wound. His face changed, and he couldn’t help squeezing the axe in his hand.    

Su Xiao didn’t notice the change in Chen Dian’s attitude. He took the arm of Shen Moyan and led him to the door.

As long as Shen Moyan didn´t really become a zombie, Chen Dian couldn’t take an axe to kill a living person. Now the zombie virus has just spread, and the human nature is far from reaching the level of the story that Shen Moyan received.

He wanted to persuade the intact student in front of him to give up his friend, but he felt that it would be too ruthless to say such words, so he could only freeze in place for a while, cautiously guarding against the infected student.    

The experience as a prisoner did not give Shen Moyan any good memories, but gave him a lot of experience in observing words and colors, so even if he had just said to let Su Xiao stay away from him, he still changed his mind at this time. He let Su Xiao pull him towards the door, he can see that although Chen Dian is guarding him, there is no malice. The most important thing is that he recognizes him. This man named Chen Dian is a character in the plot, one of Su Xiao´s suitors.     

Su Xiao, who insisted on holding on to Shen Moyan, was relieved to see that he didn’t shake him off, not even a verbal rejection, and at the same time, he was glad to see that he was closer to him. If seriously pursued, if Shen Moyan wasn´t wounded to solve the zombie, maybe he would also be bitten by the zombie, saying that Shen Moyan was his life-saving benefactor is not wrong.

Su Xiao couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed thinking about this.   

Shen Moyan didn’t know what Su Xiao was thinking. He looked at Chen Dian, who became more and more nervous as they approached, he bluntly grabbed Su Xiao by the collar and threw him to the man standing at the door.     

Perhaps his body condition has changed after being infected, his strength is much greater, Su Xiao was thrown by him so the whole person hit Chen Dian, Su Xiao was not prepared for such a development, but Chen Dian has been nervously watching Shen Moyan’s movements.

He clasped Su Xiao’s arm to prevent him from falling, and then subconsciously blocked Su Xiao, who had no strength in his hands, and looked at Shen Moyan vigilantly.    

“What are you doing?” It can be seen from the current state of this student that he has not lost his mind. Chen Dian didn´t understand why he suddenly acted like this.

Su Xiao seemed to understand his thoughts in an instant. After standing firm, he turned around and wanted to pull Shen Moyan, but his actions were a step behind the classroom door. Once the door closed, they were completely isolated on both sides.  

Finally alone, Shen Moyan almost at the same time as the door was closed, his whole person fell to the ground along the door, the back door of the classroom was blocked, the front was locked by him, the closed space more or less gave him some sense of security, allowing him to not have to focus on irrelevant people.

Even if he was in so much pain that he felt like dying, Shen Moyan knew that he would not die. If the system can control the travel through time and space, then he must be free to choose the time to put him in the plot. It puts him in at the node where the original owner was bitten. Then there is no possibility that he will die. What’s more, judging from the plot he received, there were ability users in this world. One of the ways to awaken an ability was trough infection. All he needed to do was to find a way to survive this stage.

Keeping his consciousness awake was his greatest effort. At this time, his body was hot, but his hands and feet were extremely cold, and in his brain, he felt a needle-stabbed pain. At this time, the system sent him the task.    

[Main mission: kill zombie (11000), kills advanced zombie (50), kill the zombie king (01), 1 point for a zombie, 10 points for an advanced zombie, and 1000 points for the zombie king.]    

[Side task: Collects beliefs, the belief value is 0 (Belief value points exchange ratio 1:1)]

[Optional task: defeat the main character (1000 points).]   

[Warning: In order to ensure the player’s gaming experience and rigorously indulge in the game, the player’s affection value estimation system is now enabled. When the player’s affection for a character reaches 80 or more, the system will be forced to intervene. Players must remember.]    

[There is no limit to optional task means.]    

[The access rights of the first-level library are opened, and the system store on the first floor is opened.]   

[I wish you a happy game.]

Just reading the words on the light screen has cost Shen Moyan most of his energy, he didn’t even have time to think about what the so-called affection is, and he heard the sound of Su Xiao banging the door outside.

“Shen Moyan! Open the door! You come with us to the infirmary! There must be a way!”

 “That classmate has been infected, and we should look for other survivors now!” That was Chen Dian’s voice.

“Mr. Chen! Shen Moyan was bitten to save me! He kept himself in another classroom to prevent other classmates from being frightened. How could I leave him alone, not to mention that he drove me out for our sake…”

Even if Shen Moyan didn´t want to hear their conversation, just a door couldn´t block any sound, Su Xiao’s every word was clear, every knock on the door was like a knock on his nerves.

The Su Xiao in the plot was a silly white sweet2 who lives in the last days. He will treat those who are good to him a hundred times better, and those who treat him badly didn’t even need him to act. Su Xiao’s suitors would help him deal with it without Su Xiao’s knowledge.

Shen Moyan has no ill feelings towards him, but also did not want to get involved with this person in any way, he felt that the time was short and he hadn´t done anything great, he had only said two words to him, respectively ‘let go’ and ‘stay away from me’.

He had no idea what exactly Su Xiao had brainstormed, but he knew that he himself would be in a very bad mood right now.

“Shen Moyan! Open the door! Come with us!”    

[A change in the player’s affection for Su Xiao is detected. The system will take the initiative to remind you for the first time. Please check it by yourself in the future.]    

[The player´s affection value for Su Xiao is 30.]   

[It is detected that the player’s affection for a certain character is too low. In order to develop the player in a harmonious way, please try to avoid blackening.]

Chen Dian outside the door didn’t know what kind of emotional change the Shen Moyan inside had gone through. He looked at Su Xiao trying to take away his friends, and only felt that their friendship was very moving.

One was injured in order to save his friend, and the other stayed true to his friend.

If he could, Chen Dian didn’t want to be a ruthless person, but Su Xiao knocked on the door and shouted, and he had already seen the shadow of the zombies emerging from the corner in the distance.

They couldn’t stay here anymore.

“We have to go!” He grabbed Su Xiao, and couldn’t help but feel soft when he saw the unbearable anxiety on Su Xiao’s beautiful and handsome face “We will come back to pick up that student when we find help, otherwise we will only attract more zombies here, and that is what will harm him.”

And there were other students on this floor, they couldn’t delay anymore, they had to take the uninfected students away.

Su Xiao also saw the zombies in the distance, he was convinced by Chen Dian, before he left, he did not forget to lean against the door and insisted, “You wait for me to come back! I will definitely bring people back to save you.”

Shen Moyan behind the door ……

Not long after they left, it was like a switch was turned on, in the corridor that was still safe more and more zombies appeared one after another, some zombies sensed the scent of living people in the classroom and began to smash the door.

There were zombies outside the door, and there were even a few zombie hands attached to the glass window on the corridor. The ordinary zombies in this world didn´t have vision, they only relied on hearing and smell to determine the location of the living, so Shen Moyan did not pull the curtains on the windows at first.

In the case of a possible zombie break-in at any time, Shen Moyan could not rise to the occasion, and the virus in his body seemed to have entered a critical moment of transformation.

The first thing that started to change was his right hand, starting from the fingertips, his skin began to gray down at a rate visible to the naked eye, as if the entire palm of his hand was covered in ice, after the initial tingling, his entire right hand was senseless and looked like a dead hand.

This condition did not end in his right hand, the tingling and numbness mixed on his hand gradually spread upward to his entire right arm.

Shen Moyan was momentarily blank.

…… he is going to become a zombie?

Notes:
