Chapter 3 Zombie Virus
“Huh?”
Lu Bai tore a slit in the trousers on his thigh.
Looking at the wound that should have been bloody and bloody, it was now restored to its original state, and a clear sense of confusion inevitably flashed in his eyes.
When he didn't feel any pain, he thought he was numb from the pain.
But when he looked carefully, he found that there were no teeth marks on his thighs.
All that was left was the gradually drying blood on his pants, still reminding him that the previous bite was not an illusion.
Seeing this scene, he raised his hand and touched his neck uncertainly.
Sure enough, the wound on the neck healed on its own just like the thigh.
"Super speed regeneration?"
Of course he didn't forget that he chose [Super Speed Regeneration (Gold)] in the ability pool, but he really didn't have high expectations for this thing.
After all, this is the first time I have come into contact with such a supernatural power, and it has not been verified, so it is difficult to take it into consideration with peace of mind.
He pursed his lips and stood up with the Eight-faced Han Sword.
Turning his head to look in the direction of the playground, his eyes seemed to be able to see clearly the specific situation on the playground through the old banyan tree: "What an unexpected surprise."
…
The main entrance of the school is on the other side of the playground.
After leaving the corner of the old banyan tree, Lu Bai did not choose to forcefully cross the playground. Instead, he returned to the teaching building along the same route.
After all, the zombie outbreak happened to be when school was over at noon, and the flow of people in the playground area was huge.
Even though Lu Bai knew that he had the ability to regenerate at super speed, he was still unable to deal with the zombies wandering around the playground.
Compared with forcing your way through the zombie horde, it is obviously more reliable to find an opportunity to climb over the wall behind the teaching building and leave the school.
Teaching building, toilet on the first floor.
Wow~
Lu Bai stared at the mirror on the sink in a daze.
The face in the mirror was extremely handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
Or maybe it's because he was a Taoist priest all his life in his previous life, and he still has a somewhat mundane temperament.
After a simple wash, it looks even fresher.
Squeak~
He turned the faucet back on and let out a sigh of relief.
"Young people are still young...well..."
Just as he was halfway through his nonsense, severe pain suddenly surged from his head to his limbs.
Severe pain that was difficult to describe in words came in waves like a tide, and every cell in his body seemed to be emitting uncontrollable wails.
thump!
The whole person collapsed to the ground uncontrollably, and his limbs gradually began to twitch unconsciously.
At this moment, Lu Bai's own consciousness was still awake, and he was trying his best to suppress the twitching arc of his body.
Bang~bang~
He felt that his heartbeat became extremely obvious, but his vision became increasingly blurry.
After observing the bad boy before, Lu Bai quickly realized what was happening to his body.
But this discovery really left him with nowhere to use his strength.
Zombie virus!
Since the bite wound healed itself, Lu Bai subconsciously ignored this.
The most terrifying thing about zombies is their infectious nature.
Veins popped up on Lu Bai's forehead, and his expression became ferocious.
He wasn't going to give up.
There is hope.
If I remember correctly, the description of [Super-speed Regeneration] refers to the ability of cell-level self-healing.
So theoretically, this ability is also effective against zombie viruses.
As long as he doesn't lose consciousness and turn into a zombie before that, he should not be eliminated.
I just don’t know how long this process will last.
Looking back at the speed of the wound's recovery just now, Lu Bai felt really unsure and could only grit his teeth and hold on.
One minute, two minutes...
There is no room for thinking, and the mind goes blank.
Under the seemingly endless pain, Lu Bai didn't know how much time had passed at the end, and completely lost the concept of time.
His mind was in a state of confusion, and it seemed like there was only a thin line between him and his complete disappearance of consciousness.
Fortunately, just when Lu Bai couldn't help but want to give up, the pain that spread throughout his body suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Breathing slowly becomes even.
Not sure whether it was because he had been suffering from pain for too long or for some other reason, Lu Bai felt that his current condition was extremely good.
It seems like you are stronger than before?
And it’s not just the feeling of power that fills your body.
He could even clearly hear the deliberately suppressed breathing in the pit in the corner of the toilet.
Um……
Um?
There are still living people hiding in the toilet?
"Classmate? Do you want to come out and chat?"
As Lu Bai said this, he got up from the ground, stared at the locked door in the corner compartment, and smiled indifferently.
If you don’t come out, don’t come out.
After all, it is your own choice to be a human or a zombie, and outsiders have no right to interfere.
Stop paying attention to the introverted survivor.
He tore off a long piece of his school uniform jacket and wrapped it around the lower end of the eight-sided Han sword. He carried the sword behind his back, and the two sections of the strip were wrapped around his body and tied in a knot.
After finishing the preparations, Lu Bai's seemingly determined movements suddenly froze.
Frankly speaking, he really didn't know what he was going to do now.
He is now basically certain that this is a "game". Even if he is really eaten by zombies, he will just be eliminated and there is a high probability that he will not really die.
But the question is, when will this game end? What are the conditions for winning?
He didn’t know anything about these issues, but he wasn’t too far off.
He glanced at the data panel in front of his retina.
[Current points: 1]
[Current ranking: 31/384]
According to the logic of normal games... "In short, try to live as long as possible first?" Lu Bai thought thoughtfully.
Just as he was muttering to himself, he suddenly noticed the sound of staggering footsteps in the corridor outside the toilet, which seemed to be attracted by the voice he spoke before.
Lu Bai's breathing slowed down.
His hearing was extremely sharp now, and he could easily tell that the footsteps came from two zombies.
One on the left and one on the right, about ten meters away from the toilet entrance.
And the footsteps are getting closer.
Lu Bai bowed slightly and rubbed his toes slowly on the ground.
Although it is not yet certain to what extent my body has been enhanced by the zombie virus,
but...
Lu Bai suddenly stepped down, and with the help of this powerful reaction force, he jumped out of the toilet entrance like a tiger out of its cage.
During this process, his right hand had been raised to hold the hilt of the sword behind him.
Show your edge!
Thump~thump~
The sword light flashed by, and two zombie heads with gray eye sockets fell to the ground.
The blood spurting from the necks of the two zombies spattered onto the wall of the corridor, forming a radial bloody pattern.
One of the heads rolled twice on the ground, and you could see a blank expression on its face.
"...I can't let you attract more zombies."
Lu Bai glanced at the two corpses and shook off the blood on the sword: "However, it seems that he is seriously ill."
He could notice that he didn't feel even the slightest bit nervous inside, but he couldn't help but want to laugh.
When making decisions, be so decisive that it scares you.
…
Having said that, no matter which floor the toilet in the teaching building is on, it is always on the far right.
In addition, there are stairs on both sides of the teaching building. If you just go upstairs, you don't need to risk walking through a corridor full of zombies.
Of course Lu Bai would not deliberately make things difficult for himself.
He stuck his head out from the corner and took a look. Now there were no living people in the corridor, only zombies wandering around.
Drying blood stains can be seen everywhere in the corridor, especially the bloody handprints on the white walls, which are particularly conspicuous.
Without alerting the zombies in the corridor and classroom, Lu Bai quickly stepped up the steps.
The corridor can only accommodate up to four people walking side by side.
If such a narrow area were blocked, it would probably be impossible to escape without being chewed a few times.
For the sake of safety, Lu Bai slowed down and climbed up the stairs slowly.
Turning the corner of the corridor, a silhouette appeared in front of Lu Bai.
It was a female classmate. As its body swayed from side to side, the horrific tooth marks on its calf also surged with flesh and blood.
Lu Bai secretly apologized, raised his hand and planned to rush through the remaining ten steps to deal with the opponent as quickly as possible.
However, these zombies have extremely keen hearing, and the rapid footsteps alerted the female classmate.
It turned around suddenly, its face with bulging blood vessels showing the ferocity of a beast.
It's going to happen!
Lu Bai's heart skipped a beat.
The female classmate did not disappoint him. She let out a sharp roar and rushed towards him with her teeth and claws.
Lu Bai was naturally not worried that this zombie would cause harm to him.
What is really worth worrying about is how many zombies will this "girl" attract if she roars so loudly?
This teaching building has eight floors in total, with seven classrooms on each floor.
Even when zombies broke out, most students went to the cafeteria.
But if there are hundreds of zombies in the entire teaching building, it's just like playing.
In short,
Can't be stuck on the stairs!
Lu Bai responded quickly.
He leaned down and raised his sword.
While avoiding the flying attack of the female zombie, he accurately cut into the center of the opponent's head.
The sharpness of the Eight-sided Han Sword is indeed good.
He felt that there was not much force on his wrist, and the zombie's entire body was split into two.
But now is obviously not a good time to praise a sword.
The news of a large number of zombie riots has reached his eardrums.
He held the blood-stained long sword and passed the remaining steps in three steps and two steps at a time. He turned his head and looked at the corridor on the second floor. Dozens of violent zombies were crowding each other and rushing towards him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zombies one after another broke open the windows of the classroom, and even though their ankles were twisted after falling, they still roared and rushed towards him.
The messy footsteps coming from downstairs meant that the option of returning the same way was also erased.
Looking at the small "tide of corpses" that formed almost instantly, Lu Bai had no idea of killing them.
Before the encirclement was formed, he decisively turned around and continued running upstairs.
When he was approaching the third floor, he saw three zombies already appearing at the stairs.
In order to avoid being blocked in such a narrow area as the corridor, Lu Bai threw the Eight-sided Han Sword without hesitation, and followed closely behind him like an arrow from a string.
The zombie in the middle was stabbed to death on the spot.
Thanks to the zombie virus's strengthening of physical fitness, Lu Bai's short-distance burst speed was not much slower than that of a long sword. He quickly stretched out his hands and pressed the foreheads of the left and right zombies at the same time.
Then he suddenly exerted force and hit the two zombies' heads heavily on the steps.
Regardless of the life or death of these two zombies, he picked up the Eight-sided Han Sword and rushed to the third floor.
The disappointing thing is that the third floor is not much better than the second floor.
In the corridor, zombies rushed towards Lu Bai, fearing that they would not get a hot bite.
Can't stop here.
Just when Lu Bai was about to turn around and continue to escape upstairs...
Click~
No more than three meters away from him, a security door with the word "Office" written on it was pushed open half way.
A pretty girl looked at him anxiously, without making a sound, she just waved her hands quickly.
