Chapter 004: Survive

Girl, I can no longer accompany you on this journey. Allow me to do one last thing for you, to help you grow with my blood... No matter how difficult it may be, you must survive. The last glimmer of light in Wang Jin's eyes faded away; he died, leaving behind an infinite affection for this world, completely vanishing from it.

The sound of broken sobs caused Wang Jin great pain in his heart, making him feel as if his head were about to explode. His consciousness grew increasingly blurred, yet there was still one thing he could not let go of. He tightly grasped You Min's hand, his eyes fixed on her, struggling to utter his last words in this world: "Xiao Min! Be sure to avenge me!"

Then, after seeing Su Qin put away the knife and reveal a smile that was not quite a smile, he no longer paid attention to him. After quickly descending several steps, Lin Qingyang finally reacted and shouted at Su Qin's back: "My Lady Queen! Wait for me!"

Then he lowered his head to glance at the half brick in his hand, secretly thinking that he must take action to resolve the next issue! He could not allow the queen to look down on him

In fact, the early zombies, despite having greater strength, are slower in both reaction and speed compared to normal humans. As long as one overcomes the fear of zombies, even a girl can kill a zombie with all her might.

As they spoke, having already reached the corner, Lin Qingyang noticed that Su Qin showed no reaction. Just as he was about to continue speaking, suddenly! Su Qin turned around without warning, holding a small knife in his hand, and fiercely lunged at him with a surge of hostility

Yet most people are fleeing without direction or purpose

There are still a very small number of people who have realized that if that broadcast is true, then the outside is no safer than the school; on the contrary, because of such a broadcast serving as a precaution, the school is even safer than the outside.

In the darkness, You Min could no longer hold back her tears, which flowed down in an instant. Her throat choked, and she could not utter a single word, only knowing to shake her head desperately. Do not die, Wang Jin! Do not die, and the books! We promised to get married after graduation! You said you would take care of me for a lifetime!

Su Qin furrowed his brows, pressing his lips together even tighter

As Su Qin once again plunged the short knife into the head of a female zombie, Lin Qingyang couldn't help but exclaim

Still immersed in fear, the crowd was awakened by the sound of screams, and many rushed towards the school gate in a frantic scramble.

Who would have thought that Lin Qingyang was following closely behind her, calling out, "Su Qin! Let's go together! I can protect you!"

Lin Qingyang was infuriated to the point of almost exploding with rage at Su Qin's dismissive attitude. Gritting his teeth, he quickly caught up to her and raised his hand to block her path.

Most people in their previous lives were caught off guard by such sudden events, and coupled with their fear of zombies, half of them were bitten by those around them and transformed into new zombies without any warning. In the midst of panic, they could hardly think of killing zombies, only focusing on escaping, which ultimately led to a quicker demise

Su Qin's eyes twitched rapidly a few times, then he dropped the words "Su Qin" and bypassed Lin Qingyang to continue down the stairs

She got up, stumbling to find a large stone, and then squatted beside Wang Jin, her eyes fixed on him without blinking. The moment "Wang Jin" opened his eyes, ... she could only emit a low, desperate growl that was not human-like, as a large stone came crashing down on his face, once, twice, three times ... You Min closed her eyes, her hands moving as if wound up, striking the stone down repeatedly. Even with her eyes shut, tears flowed continuously from her eye sockets until she could no longer lift her hands, collapsing over Wang Jin's corpse and sobbing uncontrollably ... she could only emit a low, desperate growl that was not human-like, as a large stone came crashing down on his face, once, twice, three times ... You Min closed her eyes, her hands moving as if wound up, striking the stone down repeatedly. Even with her eyes shut, tears flowed continuously from her eye sockets until she could no longer lift her hands, collapsing over Wang Jin's corpse and sobbing uncontrollably ... and all of this was just the beginning

Su Qin said coldly, "Step aside!"

Su Qin felt an indescribable disappointment in his heart, yet he still thought that perhaps he was at school, but had been delayed by some matters and couldn't make it over. Rather than waiting here, it would be better to go to other places in the school to search.

Even so, compared to the nearly 18,000 students at Ningyuan University in my previous life, where only a little over 100 managed to escape with the library in the end, this situation is much better.

Lin Qingyang's eyes were about to pop out! Watching Su Qin clean the small knife and then stand up nonchalantly, he felt as if he were dreaming. After a while, he came to his senses, realizing he was not dreaming, and then began to stare at Su Qin with a gaze akin to that of a monster. This woman can't be human, can she? Not human, right? No way, right? Then he continued to stare at Su Qin with that same monstrous gaze. This woman can't be human, can she? Not human, right? No way, right?

In this chaotic situation, many teachers in schools still remembered their responsibilities, loudly proclaiming that it was merely a rumor, a prank. However, no one paid them any attention

If it were not for that broadcast, the number of dead would have been greater, and those who survived might not have had the courage to face this terrifying group of monsters

Did you not say that you would tell me your name the next time we meet? Please tell me now

University students who are now mentally prepared not only begin to actively and systematically eliminate zombies, but they have also started to accumulate experience.

As soon as Su Qin opened the door, he was taken aback.

Su Qin merely cast a fleeting glance at him, then walked past him with a blank expression, proceeding directly downstairs

After exiting the teaching building, Lin Qingyang discovered that many people had already turned into zombies, some of whom were even more terrifying and disgusting than the one encountered in the building. However, Su Qin seemed completely unafraid, his agility keeping his eyes wide open at all times. Just as Lin Qingyang spotted a zombie, Su Qin's short knife had already been plunged into the zombie's brain.

The boy who had just led the way was standing outside the door, gazing at her with an unpredictable expression, as if he were trying to find a flower on Su Qin's face.

They escaped the initial confusion and terror of the apocalypse, yet there was not a trace of relief in their hearts. Studies, love, career, the once ordinary yet comfortable life felt so distant at this moment. They even wondered if the sun would rise as usual tomorrow

At this moment, everyone inevitably thinks of that mysterious female broadcaster

Lin and Tu Shu Qingyang looked aggrieved and said, "You promised me!"

At this moment, however, a resolute thought exists in everyone's heart—survive

The girl, unable to attend to the bruises on her body, bit her lip and crawled over to the boy, using both her hands and feet. She tightly grasped his hand, and despite her efforts to suppress it, panic still seeped through as she exclaimed, "Wang Jin, are you okay?!"

The sky gradually brightened, and the first ray of sunlight fell upon You Min's face, where soft features were etched with twisted tear marks, exuding a sense of numbness and despair akin to dead ashes

In every corner of the campus, people are constantly fleeing and suddenly collapsing, unconscious. If a mere solar eclipse is not enough to destroy people's reason, then after these individuals faint, the last remnants of rationality are also consumed. An unprecedented panic spreads in everyone's heart, like a heavy hammer striking forcefully upon their heads

Thinking of this, I began to run towards the broadcasting room

Lin Qingyang turned around stiffly, and at that moment, all the hairs on his body stood on end! He saw a man lying on the ground, his body in various stages of decay, with most of the skin on his face having fallen off, revealing red flesh mixed with a disgusting slime...! A wave of nausea rolled in his stomach, and Lin Qingyang quickly averted his gaze, unable to look any longer; if he did, he would surely vomit!

Everyone remembers what that mysterious broadcast said: those who faint will turn into flesh-eating zombies. The best way to handle the situation now is to blow their heads off while they are still unconscious. However, no one is willing to do this. Even if they are not family, friends, or lovers, no one can bring themselves to take such action. They have all come this far without incident, and at most, they might curse a little. To blow someone's head off requires immense willpower and courage, which they do not possess; they only know that they cannot do it.

In the midst of a frantic run, the sky finally darkened completely, and those who stubbornly believed it was merely a prank soon found themselves crushed by reality, plunging into even greater panic and confusion.

A couple was running when suddenly the male partner's legs gave way, causing him to fall to the ground. Because they were holding hands tightly, the female partner was also pulled down when he fell, and both of them landed hard on the ground

However, looking at You Min, who was trembling yet feigning calmness, he suddenly felt unafraid. He forced a smile onto his face, forgetting that it was so dark that You Min could not see it at all: "Girl, I’m sorry, but I can’t accompany you on the road ahead. Even if you are alone, you must survive. No matter how difficult it gets in the future, you must live on. I will be watching over you from above. If you come to find me too soon, I will not forgive you..." You Min could not see it at all: "Girl, I’m sorry, but I can’t accompany you on the road ahead. Even if you are alone, you must survive. No matter how difficult it gets in the future, you must live on. I will be watching over you from above. If you come to find me too soon, I will not forgive you..."

Truly deserving of the title, Your Majesty!

Wang Jin felt as if his entire body was burning in fire and freezing in ice, the pain so intense that he could hardly bear it. He was very scared; he was only 23 years old, still very young, with many things left undone. How could he just die like this

Before he could catch his breath, he saw Su Qin casually walk over to the terrifying corpse, deftly pull out the small knife embedded in the zombie's face, and wipe the knife clean on the zombie's clothing.

In fact, Su Qin did not notice Lin Qingyang, who was not far behind her. She quickly dealt with a zombie, and the palm of her hand was rubbed raw by the knife handle, causing a slight sting. Her arm felt sore and numb, nearing its limit, and even the rate of her stamina depletion was much faster than she had anticipated

However, the broadcast that I initiated has indeed played a significant role. Although there are some individuals who have been bitten because they could not bring themselves to harm the zombies that were once friends, the majority have begun to clearly recognize their current situation and have started to resist.

However, it must be understood that for a man with strong psychological resilience in all aspects, it takes immense courage to crush a zombie's skull, let alone for those delicate girls who cannot even bear to watch a chicken being killed. At this moment, the differences between men and women become glaringly obvious. Most boys begin to utilize everything around them to craft various weapons to attack the zombies, while the girls huddle behind the boys, occasionally letting out piercing screams that attract even more zombies. As of now, half an hour has passed since the eclipse. Ningyuan University has a total population of 18,000, with over 500 having transformed into zombies and more than 3,000 infected. Currently, there are still over 2,000 zombies, the majority of whom are female, and this number is on the rise.

Screams echoed from every corner of the campus

To survive is to have hope

Su Qin looked utterly perplexed

Su Qin leaned against the window, gazing at the pitch-black sky outside, devoid of any light. He raised his wrist to check his watch and saw that ten minutes had already passed; he would not be coming.

You Min still tightly held Wang Jin's hand, feeling that warm large hand gradually turning cold

Lin Qingyang never expected that Su Qin would attack him! He was completely stunned! Su Qin's hand was too quick, and he was already frightened, leaving him no room to dodge! He could only watch helplessly as the small knife, imbued with a chilling aura, plunged straight towards him, then fiercely stabbed behind him, close to his face... Accompanying the blade piercing flesh was a low growl that seemed inhuman, causing the hairs on Lin Qingyang's neck to stand on end with the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground

Those who became zombies due to the proximity of their loved ones, holding tightly to the words from the broadcast, lost their family, friends, and lovers. The deep-seated hatred overcame the fear and sorrow within them, transforming that hatred into rage, which they unleashed frantically upon the zombies. Thus, they became the first group to awaken at the beginning of the apocalypse

An hour later, Lin Qingyang looked at Su Qin in the distance, who was kicking a zombie to the ground and then swiftly delivering a knife strike to the zombie's head. His large eyes had already transformed into starry eyes.

There are still some people who refuse to believe such an absurd thing. A solar eclipse is a normal event, and it is possible that someone observed in advance that there would be a solar eclipse and deliberately used this to play a prank
