Hu Jin is a senior in the School of Economics and Management. He usually hangs out. He told his family that he would not look for a job in preparation for the postgraduate entrance exams in his senior year. In fact, he stayed in the dormitory playing games and watching live broadcasts. He was supposed to go to the welcome party with his friends last night. , he is also a fan of Make a Wish, but he had an important battle to participate in last night and couldn't leave, so he had to ask his friends to take pictures of Make a Wish's dance and send it to him.
But then what happened outside the window shattered his cognition and outlook.
He saw all the students on the road running away in panic, looking back from time to time, as if they were running away from something terrible. Just when Hu Jin was wondering, he found a boy with half of his white clothes stained with blood, with a ferocious expression, as if he was hungry. He ran towards a girl who was running away like a wolf. The difference in physical strength and speed allowed the ferocious and crazy boy to quickly catch up and knock down the girl who was screaming. Then the picture of Hu Jin's eyes appeared. The boy bit the skin of the girl's neck and pulled hard, tearing off half of the skin on her neck, exposing the red muscles and blood vessels. Before it was over, several more "bloodthirsty lunatics" like the crazy boys came running from behind. They were like hyenas that smelled blood. They greedily pounced on the girls who still had a glimmer of life and were begging for help. They started to madly Biting the girl's arms, chest, and abdomen... Hu Jin couldn't stand it any longer. He quickly closed the window, locked the door with a trembling voice, and hid in the bed trembling. All he could think about was that a group of bloodthirsty lunatics had just torn apart the girls. The extremely bloody scene of biting the poor girl to pieces. The screams outside the window were like steel needles piercing his heart, making his reason and spirit almost collapse...
When Hu Jin woke up, it was already noon the next day. He didn't know how he fell asleep, but maybe a good sleep allowed his brain to relax and breathe. Hu Jin felt much calmer, although he was still very scared and panicked inside. , but compared to the situation yesterday when I was so frightened that I couldn't even move my body, I have undoubtedly recovered a lot.
"Gulu..." He was hungry. Hu Jin didn't have the habit of hoarding snacks. He had to find something to eat. After some ideological struggle, hunger and survival instincts finally defeated the fear of zombies. Hu Jin picked up a chair. , opened the bedroom door and walked out
The corridor outside the door was quiet, and the silence was a bit scary. Hu Jin looked at the locked dormitory doors opposite, and suddenly realized: "Damn, I was so scared that I lost my IQ. There are all seniors on this floor. , I'm the only one still in the dormitory. This building is owned by the School of Management, and most of them went to the auditorium to watch the welcome party. The door is guarded, and zombies can't get in. As long as I don't go out, what do I have to worry about? Maybe there are still people in the building. There are other survivors.”
But just in case, he tiptoed down to the fifth floor and began to check the dormitory situation one by one. The method was also very simple. If everyone in the dormitory went out, the door would be locked; if there were still people in the dormitory, the door would be locked. , then the door is either open or locked from the inside. Hu Jin decided that if the door to the dormitory was open, then he would go directly in to search for supplies. Anyway, the owner of the dormitory might never come back. If the door was locked, then he would knock on the door to test the reaction of the creature inside. The speaker was People, the ones who are banging on the door like crazy are zombies.
After checking more than a dozen locked doors, Hu Jin finally saw an internally locked door. He held his breath and gently knocked on the door: "Hello, is there anyone there?"
There was only a rush of footsteps and voices coming from inside. It seemed that several people were discussing and arguing inside. After a while, the door opened. Seeing the scene inside, Hu Jin guessed right. There were other survivors in the dormitory.
The dormitory of less than 25 square meters was crowded with 9 people. Some of them were lying on the bed sobbing, some were sitting on chairs and writing tremblingly. Some people had no place to sit, so they simply sat on the ground and whispered, everyone Their faces were covered with negative emotions such as panic, despair, worry, and sadness. The person who opened the door for Hu Jin was a sophomore named Zhang Ping. Compared with the despair and death on the other people's faces, Zhang Ping was in a better state. He forced a smile and said, "Brother, it's so great that you can survive." Okay, how did you find this place?"
When Hu Jian saw the despairing faces of his juniors, he knew that if they didn't quickly restore their mental state and hope for future survival, these people would only become a burden to him. He might as well act as a strong and independent person in front of them. People, gain their trust and obedience, and then become the boss, then your probability of survival will be much greater than that of a single person.
As soon as his thoughts changed, Hu Jian straightened his back, and Dayi Lingran said: "Hello fellow students, I am Hu Jin, a senior in Economics and Management. I believe everyone knows what happened outside. I was there last night. When I first saw these tragedies, I was very scared like you, but today I can tell you that I have overcome my fear of zombies. It’s not about how strong I am, but I want to tell you that if you want to live, just Be brave and take this step! Do you know how I found this place? I knocked on each door from the 6th floor. I found that as long as there is someone in the dormitory, the dormitory door must be locked. As long as I find Surviving classmates, our probability of survival will increase. I originally thought that you would be as strong as me, but I didn’t expect that all grown men would just cry in place like women. I won’t go in, and I will continue to go. Look for the remaining survivors downstairs, and then go outside to look for food and water. If you want to survive, take the guy and go with me. If you don't want to live, just lie down and rest. Let me tell you a fact, you just haven't had breakfast yet. Your body can still move normally, but if you stay in this dormitory because you are afraid to go out, how long can you last? One meal? Two meals? Or not eating for a few days? At that time, your body function will decline, can you still Should you go out to look for food? Can you still run away if you encounter a zombie? Think about it for yourselves."
A boy squatting in the corner timidly retorted: "Hu... said that we are waiting... for the army to rescue us. Yes, we are waiting for the government and the army to rescue us."
Hu Jin said disdainfully: "You all have read the news on your mobile phone and you don't know. This virus outbreak is not just in our city, but all over the country. No, zombies are breaking out all over the world. Countries like South Korea and Australia have all fallen." ! It’s also a matter of time for us here. Didn’t you notice that no soldiers or police have come here since last night? That’s because they are in trouble and can’t come to save us. If you don’t believe it, just call and see if anyone is there. Let me get back to you."
The boy lowered his head unwillingly. Indeed, the police had been calling since last night, but no one answered. In the early morning, they also saw dozens of military helicopters whizzing past. They thought they saw hope, but until now, no matter what No one, whether it was the police or the army, walked into the campus and shouted with a loudspeaker: "The crisis has been resolved, please survivors come downstairs to join us!"
When they turned on their mobile phones, all online games and entertainment apps crashed and could not be checked. If the network and phone signals were not still available, they would have thought they were the last people in the world.
Hu Jin took the stool and left without looking back. He looked firm and calm. In fact, Hu Jin was very nervous inside and his calves were trembling. How could he dare to go out alone? If he wasn't so hungry, he would hide in his dormitory like the surviving juniors and dare not go out. At most, he would break open some dormitory locks, sneak in to see if there were any snacks, and then quickly return to his dormitory after eating. Lock the door and don't go out.
Out looking for food and rescue? Just kidding, he doesn't want to end up like the girl who was dismembered last night. There are probably no normal humans outside now, they are all zombies. With the stool weapon in his hand, he probably can't even touch the door of the canteen about 50 meters away. Just burped. But if he becomes the boss of this group of survivor apprentices, everyone will go out together, carry the food in the middle, and they will stand around to protect him. If they encounter zombies, they can help him block it. If it doesn't work, they will leave the food and If everyone ran away alone, his chances of survival would be much higher.
Therefore, he is betting on whether everyone will follow him. If they do, his prestige will be established, and becoming the boss will be easy. If they don't, the worst he can do is go to the fourth floor to see if there are really no other survivors. If necessary, he would break open the door to search for supplies, and then sneak back to the sixth floor to sleep.
"Senior Hu, wait for me, I'll go with you." A boy trotted over. It was Zhang Ping who opened the door for Hu Jin. He looked at Hu Jin with admiration and said, "Senior Hu, you are right. If you don't go out and look for food and water when you are well now, it will be really bad if you wait until you are so hungry that you go to look for food." It’s useless!”
Then, some people were chased out of the dormitory one after another, and a trace of determination appeared on their panicked faces: "Brother Hu..., we also want to go looking for food with you!... We..." No... not afraid!"
The bet was right! , Hu Jin was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he looked back with a serious face, and said in a senior tone and dignity: "Okay! I am very pleased that you have bravely taken this step. Now that we are a team, the team needs to have a clear The division of labor and leadership. I was a member of the wilderness survival camp before and have more experience than you, so I will be the commander. Do you have any opinions?"
The others looked at each other in confusion, feeling that Hu Jin was a bit domineering and authoritarian, but they really couldn't find anyone better than him at the moment, so they could only nod in agreement.
"Okay! Since you have no objections, let me tell you the truth. I will make exploration and combat plans, and assign everyone's tasks and positions. No one can shirk or refuse! I have already conducted reconnaissance, and there are no zombies near the canteen. We can fight it together, but if anyone disobeys my commands and orders and escapes without permission, I will expel him and not be allowed to enjoy the food and supplies we find! Do you understand?" Hu Jin said seriously.
"I understand, Brother Hu, we believe in your decision, we are a whole!" Zhang Ping was the first to answer.
"I understand, Brother Hu"
"I understand, everything is up to you"
···
It is very easy to be the boss of a flock, especially when the sheep are frightened and panicked. They will lose their own opinions and easily hand over the decision-making power and leadership status to a seemingly big animal, even if the animal is a wolf. ···
Except for a boy who was lying on the bed crying, Hu Jin had already organized a team of 9 people. Although everyone was holding simple weapons such as umbrellas and chairs, Hu Jin still said that he would search the remaining 1st to 4th floors today to see what happened. Are there any other survivors? Then break through some dormitory doors to search for supplies.
So, a group of people held their breath and slowly came to the fourth floor to do some reconnaissance. At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Brother Hu, look, why is this table lying across the corridor?"
Hu Jin and others quickly went over to take a look and found two public wooden tables placed in the corridor on the right. There were also some miscellaneous books on the wooden tables. It seemed that someone deliberately placed the tables horizontally in the corridor to serve as "City wall" to keep out zombies and others. Hu Jin frowned slightly. It seemed that there were survivors here, and he seemed to be a thoughtful, calm and cautious person. Only now did my group muster up the courage to go out and find out the situation. This person actually established a zombie defense line. Could it be that this guy is usually a doomsday survival enthusiast? He may be studying these survival knowledge and skills on weekdays, so when a real crisis occurs, that person will use the survival knowledge and skills to survive.
If the other party is really a doomsday survival enthusiast, then he will definitely hoard canned food and other food. Even if there is no food, he will have survival tools and medical supplies. No matter what he gets, he will not lose. Thinking of this, Hu Jin directed the man to go over and see if the two doors behind the desk were locked, but the reply he got was that they were both locked.
All locked? Does it mean someone is out? Hu Jin suddenly felt surprised and ridiculous. When there were zombies everywhere outside, instead of hiding in the dormitory to prevent them from being discovered, he went out actively and even locked the door! The survivor thought he was going out to buy groceries, so he locked the door to prevent theft! But no matter what, he had to break open the door to get food and supplies from the survivors, otherwise he would really have to go outside to get food from the zombies.
Hu Jin gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Ping, Qiu Jianshu, you two go over and break the lock with that person and pry the door open. I think there is food inside."
Zhang Ping and Qiu Jianshu also vaguely figured out that the two tables were deliberately placed to block zombies, indicating that the innermost room was occupied by someone. Although he was not in the dormitory, was it really okay to tear down the door of someone's house like this?
Seeing that Zhang Ping and Qiu Jianshu were reluctant to take action, Hu Jin cursed angrily: "Why are you two hesitating? Are you waiting to starve to death? There must be food and other things in those rooms. If you don't take it from me, I will You got it, don’t eat it!"
Hu Jin cursed and walked forward, intending to break down the door himself, but suddenly a cold, deep and terrifying sound came from behind, scaring Hu Jin to the point where his hair stood on end.
“Whose door do you want to break down and whose things do you want to take!!”
