Rebirth: Kill Through the Doomsday Game

Chapter 10 School for the Infected

The night is getting darker, the gray sky is raised on the top of the tall building, and the bright lights are lit in the college.

Yes, all the buildings in Qiming University turned on their lights at the same time, and the whole college was brightly lit.

The school area is densely populated and fell in the early days of the apocalypse. The nearest security station in Qiming City was rebuilt from the twin commercial buildings in the east of the city. It is more than ten kilometers away from the university town. It is impossible for Qiming University to have so many students!
Gu Lingxin suddenly shuddered. She raised her head and looked at the windows of the academic building and dormitory building. The silhouettes of people sitting upright inside were clearly visible.

Fear was like a poisonous snake crawling up her back. She turned her head stiffly and glanced at the dried corpses on the ground, and an idea ran into her mind uncontrollably.

All the "people" sitting in the classroom are infected.

They have received some kind of restriction or control and are on standby here, waiting for an infected person with the [devour] ability to absorb them. And the guy who has "devoured" a huge number of infected people is preparing to enjoy his midnight snack in Qiming University.

Gu Lingxin suppressed the shock in her heart, turned around and ran away without looking back. According to the time when the doomsday comes, the monsters here have "devoured" at least one-third of Qiming City's population. And this is just according to the calculation of the end of the world. The rough estimate of the number of aborigines in Qiming City does not include college students and migrant workers from other places.

She is no match at all.

Just as her mind was racing, a light shone in her field of vision.

Infected people have almost no intelligence and thinking ability. Since they are controlled by some kind of force, there will be no slowdown. The infected people turn on the lights at the same time, and their behavior is very different. Probably the guy who controls all the infected. It makes sense to turn on your own light after using the manipulation-type awakening ability.

Gu Lingxin was stunned for a moment and looked in the direction of the light.

"library?"

She couldn't help but take a few more glances at that location, but she didn't have time to think about it - a slow sound of footsteps came from not far away.

Gu Lingxin immediately plunged into the bushes on the side of the road, and the sharp bush branches hurt her. She protected her cheek with one hand, and covered her mouth that couldn't control the screams with the other hand, waiting in agony for that moment. A group of infected people have completed this journey.

They have no consciousness of their own and will not attack Gu Lingxin, but this place is different from the edge areas of Qiming City. Who knows whether the guy in the school will detect the outside world through their senses, so they should hide just in case. It’s better to get up.

However, no one could understand Gu Lingxin's anxiety. The unconscious infected people walked here one after another, as lax as college students who had skipped a semester of classes and were about to take exams.

Five minutes later, Gu Lingxin walked back to the ditch at the back entrance of Qiming University, stepping on the dried corpses of infected people.

While she was lying on the wall cursing, Gu Lingxin caught a glimpse of a group of infected people walking out of the dormitory building and slowly wandering in the opposite direction of the library.

What's the matter? Isn't the person who controls them in the library?
If the infected person with the [devour] ability is not in the library, then who is in the library? There are no students alive in this haunted place that is considered one of the must-play horror-themed secret rooms behind closed doors, right?
Gu Lingxin looked at the dimly lit library, and then at the back door of the school where infected people kept coming in. She seemed to have no choice.

Walking to the library, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can clearly see the neat bookshelves, tables and chairs inside.

Gu Lingxin glanced at the closed library door again. Now she was almost sure that there were surviving students inside.

These tables and chairs are not like those in the academic building where infected people sit at the head and on the bench, and there is no need to close the door to the infected. The people inside don't know when the "monster" in the school will control the infected people to turn on the lights uniformly, so the lighting time in the library will be slower than in other places, but they know to disguise themselves as infected people rather than risk escaping. It's pretty smart.

Gu Lingxin climbed up a camphor tree, stepped on the branches with one foot, and stepped on the edge of the narrow window sill with one foot, trying to enter through the second floor window.

But the window was locked from the inside and she couldn't push it open.

After less than a second of mental struggle, Gu Lingxin used both hands to remove the entire glass window.

No matter what the life or death of the people inside is, if I don’t come in, I will die outside. Gu Ling wanted to put the window back, but after trying several times to no avail, he had to put it back in the window frame neatly, pretending that it was a good window.

Looking back at the room, a dozen college students huddled in the corner and looked at her with big eyes and small eyes. In the cabinet under the bookshelf next to her, there was a guy who was facing the wall and holding his head outwards, pretending to be an ostrich.

They seemed to be ordinary people. Gu Lingxin looked at the girl pretending to be an ostrich.

[Awakening Ability: Space]

[Control space changes]

[Hazard level: None]

There are actually awakened ones? But he seems to be a bit timid. It has a good survivability ability in the apocalypse, but it has no combat effectiveness. Otherwise, she might still be able to get out before the infected person with [Devouring] eats a lot.

"I was passing by. I'll leave tomorrow." Gu Lingxin shrugged at the frightened students and took out her mobile phone from her pocket, "Which one of you has a charger?"

"Are you an official awakened person?" a student asked her.

"No." Gu Lingxin shook her head.

"Then can you take us away?"

Gu Lingxin still shook her head.

If there were only two or three people, she might be able to consider it, but there were too many of them. The infected person in the school didn't know what the situation was, so she didn't dare to go out rashly. But after all, she was borrowing someone else's territory to settle down. She thought about it and said, "I can help you contact the administration of Qiming City tomorrow. Do you need it?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one answered.

Just when Gu Lingxin looked confused, the ostrich sister next to her raised her head: "The administration won't care about us! They can't deal with the infected people in the school at all. The administrator is scared to death, and the administration building has been sealed off for a long time. !”

Gu Lingxin opened her mouth to speak, but when she saw the face of this ostrich sister, all her words were stuck in her throat: "Gu Yu?"

Gu Yu is the daughter of her stepmother, her half-sister. Her stepmother and father were not bad to her, but they couldn't be said to be very enthusiastic. They always felt that she was the redundant one at home, so Gu Lingxin left home early to work and wander around, and had little contact with her family.

The baby-faced school girl with big eyes looked angry just now, but now she was also stunned: "Sister?"

She got out of the bookcase and threw herself into Gu Ling's arms, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Gu Lingxin:?

She pulled the person away from her, "Why didn't I know when I died?"

"I haven't been able to contact you. I thought you were eaten by an infected person!" Gu Yu said and threw himself into Gu Ling's heart.

"..." Have you contacted her? There was no signal in the game and she couldn't contact the outside world. After she came out, her mind was in a mess and she didn't think about anything at home. In the previous life, his father, stepmother, and Gu Yu all seemed to have gone to the safety station in Qiming City.
