A figure rushed over, and Jiang Li subconsciously caught him.
She looked at the daredevil in front of her, and her tense nerves relaxed for the first time.
"Jiang Xu..." Jiang Li looked at the face that was somewhat similar to his own and couldn't help but smile.
"Sister." Jiang Xu hugged her tightly and said in a muffled voice, "You smell so bad."
This familiar way of speaking is definitely Jiang Xu.
Jiang Li pushed her away angrily, "If you find it smelly, don't hug me. Do you think you smell good?"
"Ahem, each other."
After all, the weather is hot now. I'm afraid no one in this classroom has taken a shower in the past few days. The most they can do is wipe their body and hair with cold water.
After a brief chat with Jiang Xu, Jiang Li realized how difficult the other party had been these past few days.
The afternoon when the zombies broke out happened to be the exam time for Jiang Xu and the others' major. Just a few minutes into the exam, people around them turned into zombies one after another. The scene was as terrifying as it could be.
What was even more unfortunate was that because they had to hand in their mobile phones during the exam, all their mobile phones were on the podium, and almost all the students on the other side of the podium turned into zombies. Several of them had to escape through the back door and lost their mobile phones.
In the next few days, because the zombies discovered their hiding place and were looking for food, the few survivors hid and ran away. Originally, more than a dozen people fled together, but in the end only five of them were left. One, hiding on a rock climbing tower, only waited for rescue by the army today.
Seeing Jiang Xu, whose face was sunken with hunger, Jiang Li naturally felt distressed, but their belongings had been taken away by the soldiers before they came in. Apart from their mobile phone keys and other personal belongings, they had nothing else on them.
Perhaps knowing that these students had not eaten for a long time, lunch was delivered very early, and it was very rich, including meat, vegetables, and even chicken legs.
The soldiers meant that they could go out after being quarantined for one day. I don’t know if there were more quarantine points or something. But at the end of the whole day, they were the only ones there, and no one else came.
The next day, they were let out, and the soldiers also found Jiang Li and the others and gave them some pieces of paper. Jiang Li took a closer look and found that these things looked a bit like food stamps.
"The cars, food and medicines you brought have all been handed over, but we will not take your things in vain. They have all been converted into new money. The previous coins are invalid. You must eat and buy things in a safe place. That’s all you need to use.”
The soldier gave them four new bills, each in one hundred denominations.
It didn't seem like a lot, but several students next to me only gave one piece of new money in the denomination of "ten yuan".
"Then how are we going to get new money?" one student asked. After all, it's about food, so it doesn't matter if we don't care.
"At that time, you can go to the management hall, which is downstairs of your dormitory, to receive tasks. If you complete the corresponding tasks, you will be given new money. By the way, I would like to remind you that the safety point is very short of people now. We only serve the elderly, weak, pregnant and disabled Free food is provided, so I suggest you go make some money today, ten yuan of new money is only enough for you to eat two meals.”
After explaining, the soldiers took them to the dormitory building, received basic daily necessities such as toothbrushes and towels, and left.
It was clearly just after eight o'clock, but the downstairs was already crowded with people. Although there were many people, it was not crowded because there was a soldier with a gun watching next to him, and everyone was lining up obediently.
The newcomers looked around like curious babies. After asking a few questions, they found out that these people were receiving today's mission.
The so-called tasks are actually hard labor, such as building fences, cleaning areas, and moving corpses.
After learning more about it, Jiang Li and the others decided to go back to the dormitory first.
Fortunately, Jiang Xu was assigned to the same dormitory as them.
There are very few things in the dormitory, and it can be seen that it has been cleaned manually, but some blood stains that cannot be washed away can also be seen in the corners. One can imagine what happened here.
The time when the zombies broke out was during the lunch break at University S. Except for those who were going to take exams, the other students were basically gathered in the dormitory. You can imagine what kind of tragedy happened here.
The cabinet was empty, and the bed utensils were all uniform new bedding. Sitting by the bed, Jiang Li even had the illusion of returning to his student days.
When he was a student, he was impoverished.
However, the most touching thing is that there is even hot water supply in the dormitory!
You know, in normal times, Metropolis S will be cut off from water and gas from time to time due to various reasons. This is so difficult, but there is still hot water!
After taking a shower, Jiang Li felt like he was reborn.
"Haha, I didn't expect that one day I would be able to live in the student dormitory with you." Jiang Xu poked his head out of the upper bunk, looking cheerful.
"Don't we live together at home?" Jiang Li looked at her helplessly.
"That's different. At home we have one room per person, but here we have bunk beds!"
So what’s there to be happy about?
The dormitory is a standard four-person room. In addition to the three of them, there is another student named Sun Yunqing, whom Jiang Xu met halfway and was rescued this morning. He is also a sports student.
After taking a shower and getting to know each other, the few of them were ready to go out and have a look.
It was already after ten o'clock when they went down, and there was no one on the first floor. There was only one person in the dormitory room, who was the person in charge of distributing tasks in the morning.
It was a young man wearing an ordinary T-shirt. He was lying by the window and seemed to be taking a nap.
"Hello?"
When he heard someone calling him, the young man was excited. He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw four girls standing in front of the window.
"What are you doing? I have collected all the tasks for today. Come back tomorrow." He yawned and waved his hands, looking lazy.
"Handsome guy." Lin Muxi walked to the window and handed over the ten yuan of new money borrowed from Jiang Xu, "Let me ask about something."
Seeing the ten yuan of new money, the young man opened his eyes immediately. He looked around, took the new money calmly, and said with a righteous face:
"Ask, it's my job to solve problems for the survivors!"
They also asked some basic information about the safety point, and the young man answered them one by one responsibly.
It turns out that there are only as many survivors in the safe spot as they saw this morning, which is more than two hundred people. For the convenience of management, they are all concentrated in one dormitory. Dormitory Building No. 1 is divided into AB by the study room in the middle. There are two buildings. The female survivors live in Building A, and the men live in Building B.
Three-quarters of the survivors were students, and the rest were faculty members or people who fled after receiving information.
Jiang Li naturally thought of Luo Suo and the others. He forgot to ask yesterday and asked this young man today, but the young man said that he saw so many people every day and could not remember who was who.
In addition, there is also information about the army stationed here. The young man doesn't know much. He only knows that the army comes from the military base across the river. However, there don't seem to be many people in the army, so many positions are filled from among the survivors. Recruit people.
And now the army has only cleaned up the Western District. It is said that they are still looking for those foreign professors.
In addition to these, there is also the issue of new money that Jiang Li is most concerned about.
As far as the young man said, the purchasing power of these new money is almost twice that of old banknotes. A lunch of one meat and two vegetables only costs four yuan, while some daily necessities only cost one or two yuan, but medicines are much more expensive. Yes, the cheapest isatis root costs 30 yuan.
Jiang Li calculated carefully and found that the four of them had a total of four hundred new dollars, but the medicines they brought were not only isatis root, but also some very expensive medicines. There were at least twenty boxes of medicines here and there.
Even not counting the broken car and leftover food, I should have eight or nine hundred new dollars.
Damn it, seems to have been tricked!
