Chapter 66 - Warm Corpse 4

The autumn night is very quiet, and the night sky is full of stars, pure and quiet.

On this night, two hours ago, a brilliant meteor shower had went passed, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

It was three o’clock in the morning now, and Ling Liang couldn’t sleep.

The reason for his insomnia was probably because he had sleep with Qin Lang, causing Qin Lang to have a fever, but he did not send the medicine to Qin Lang, nor did he see whether Qin Lang had improved. He was a little worried.

There is a more serious problem. After a day, Ling Liang seemed to have remembered what happened last night completely. He found that he seemed to like Qin Lang a little, otherwise, how could he, who has always had a good self-control, do such a thing to Qin Lang just because he had drunk a little wine? Also, Qin Lang didn’t resist at that time, did he also…or did he take him as someone, so he didn’t resist?

Has Qin Lang’s fever subsided now, and has he eaten what his roommate bought for him? If Qin Lang has a bad appetite and doesn’t eat at all, wouldn’t he be hungry for the whole day with a fever?

Ling Liang’s mind is now full of Qin Lang. Thinking about him like this, he fell asleep.

The next day, Ling Liang was woken up by the noise in the campus. Due to insomnia and going to bed late, it was almost ten o’clock when he woke up.

Screams, whines, cries, curses, and roars.

What happened? Ling Liang got up and stood by the window and glanced down, then he was stunned.

Several students downstairs in the dormitory were attacking the surrounding classmates indiscriminately for unknown reasons, and several were wounded.

Those students were like beasts, knocking down and biting the slowest classmate, blood burst out together with the classmate’s screams – they were actually eating the flesh and blood of the classmates.

In the distance, a male student who was bringing water could be seen from a distance, but as if he didn’t notice the craziness. He carried the water bottle and quickly stepped forward, then he threw the water bottle at the feet of the crazy students.

The boiling water splashed on the students’ legs, but none of them cried out in pain. But they all raised their blood-stained faces to look at the young man at the same time.

The classmates on the ground had died, his limbs were bitten to varying degrees. In some places, his flesh was gone, and the bones inside could be seen. The skin on his face was bitten off by these students. There was blood all around, and his internal organs even appeared in one of the crazy students’ hands. Seeing his movements, it was obvious that he was eating…

The boy’s stomach rolled for a while. The one closest to him had already rushed towards him, he kicked them away, and the slippers on his feet flew out with his movements. He ran wildly toward the dormitory building.

In the boys dormitory buildings, there were many students who didn’t understand the situation and watched this bloody and violent scene like Ling Liang. They talked with each other above, but most of them asked what was going on. Those students were all crazy. And why is there no teacher to take care of them? They just start murdering, should they call the police? Will they be sentenced?

Ling Liang left the window. He took the medicine he bought for Qin Lang yesterday. He made a phone call first to check whether Qin Lang was still in the bedroom. However, the phone didn’t get through. He tried calling the police again, but he still couldn’t get through.

Ling Liang felt even more uneasy.

Qin Lang’s bedroom is opposite his. They were only separated by a corridor. Ling Liang put the medicine in his pocket. Yesterday, he struggled with these things all day or even all night. Now he has to see Qin Lang to calm down his anxious feelings.

Ling Liang opened the bedroom door. He had just knocked on the opposite bedroom door when a boy suddenly appeared in the corridor. The boy saw him and rushed towards him.

Ling Liang’s expression froze. This student was the one who just went crazy and bit his classmate downstairs and ate his internal organs. His face was covered in blood, his pupils were gray and lifeless, and his posture was fast but stiff.

This person should have followed the boy who just fetched water into the dormitory building. Thinking of the cruel thing this man did to his classmate just now, Ling Liang mercilessly kicked his chest and abdomen.

With the strength from a tenth rank, the man was kicked out several meters.

The door in front of him opened at this time, it was opened carefully showing a slit. It was Qin Lang.

Ling Liang was about to say something, but found that the person just got up and charged towards him again. Before Ling Liang could counterattack, Qin Lang had already pulled him into the door, and immediately closed the door and locked it.

“Ling Liang,” Qin Lang touched Ling Liang’s body and looked over his body repeatedly. At this moment, he couldn’t hide his worries, “How are you? Are you injured?”

“I’m fine.” Ling Liang didn’t expect Qin Lang’s sudden concern, so his reaction was delayed by two second. He answered first before asking, “How about you, has the fever subsided?”

Qin Lang shook his head and didn’t answer. He was relieved to see that Ling Liang was really not injured.

Ling Liang handed the medicine to Qin Lang, Qin Lang looked down and saw the name and efficacy of the ointment, and his face turned red unnaturally for a moment.

“Remember to use it, I’m going back.” Ling Liang coughed. The expression on his face was rather unnatural.

“Don’t…” Qin Lang held Ling Liang, realizing that pulling his sleeves was too anxious, he immediately let go and pointed to the computer on his desk, “Don’t go out yet, come and see this.”

Ling Liang sat down at Qin Lang’s table. There is news on his computer, and the time of the news is 6:30 this morning. The current network is no longer available, so this piece of news was downloaded by Qin Lang.

Ling Liang opened it to take a look.

Qin Lang said on the side, “I slept too much yesterday. I woke up after six o’clock in the morning, and was bored playing games. As a result, this urgent news popped up on the computer… The person who attacked you just now is like the infected person in the news, so now you’d better not go back.”

Ling Liang’s face became more and more solemn. The news said that the meteor shower last night, or the meteorite group, fell on the south of the country, as predicted by experts. The destructive power of the meteorite group directly destroyed a first-tier city in the southern province of X. Large and small craters directly buried hundreds of thousands of lives.

Not only that, there is radiation near the meteorite group. Those who were lucky enough to survive the disaster still had bad luck. The radiation carried a lot of toxins. They began to have a high fever, and any antipyretic and anti-radiation drugs did not work. At the end, their heart stopped beating and they stopped breathing.

However, just an hour after they died, they came back to life again and began to attack people around them indiscriminately, and regarded living people as “food”.

And those who were bitten or scratched by them also began to have a high fever, and finally stopped breathing and no heartbeat, but soon they will come back to life. This shows that the virus is contagious.

When infected with the virus, they will die and revive, the whole process only took five hours.

At the end of the news, they announce to the public to keep doors and windows closed, try not to go out, and wait for further notice from the government.

Ling Liang couldn’t believe it after reading the news.

At this time, the school’s radio announcement sounded – in fact, it sounded once after the emergency news at 6:30, but it was too early so many people didn’t hear it. It stands to reason that they should have announced it a few more times between six and ten, but in the intervening time maybe something went wrong in the broadcast room, such as an infected person entering the broadcast room after the first broadcast.

“Attention all teachers and students, this is an emergency notice, not an exercise! If you find any classmates or teachers who are similar to rabies, please stay away as quickly as possible. They are likely to carry the X-body virus. Once you are scratched or bitten, you will be infected with the X-body virus and die directly after five hours! Teachers and students, please choose a safe place to stay as soon as possible and wait for government rescue. If you are unfortunately attacked by an infected person, attack their heads can make them incapacitated. Repeat, attention all teachers and students…”

The broadcast repeated several times, and after the voice of the announcer on the broadcast disappeared, there was a moment of silence in several dormitory buildings, and then many of those who stayed in the dormitory came out of the balcony one after another, discussing the matter at length.

Like the few infected people mentioned in the announcement, just now, downstairs in their dormitory, they ate a classmate!

No one will take this as a prank. What’s the situation now? The living dead? Zombies? Apocalypse? What about school security? What about the teacher? What about the police? What about the doctor? When will the rescue team arrive and how long will they be stuck here? One or two days, or ten days? There are some snacks in the bedroom, but what should they do if the rescue team does not come after a long time?

Panic, helpless, dazed. These emotions shrouded the young students’ hearts in K University.

No one would have imagined that after a boring and normal day, when they woke up, there was a deadly infectious virus around them. That kind of unreal feeling was put together with the tragic situation of the classmate who was eaten just now. In front of this group of young students, how could they not panic?

“Damn it! Am I fucking dreaming?” Xiao Fei was woken up after the broadcast had been broadcast for so long. He was still in shock as he grabbed his hair, but more than that, he couldn’t believe it.

Qin Lang glanced at him, then looked at Ling Liang again: “Actually, after the news, I received a text message from our city on my mobile phone. The content is similar to the news. Do you have it on your mobile phone?”

Ling Liang remembered the message when he was trying to call Qin Lang. When the unread text message appeared on the phone, he saw that it was a long list of special business numbers. He just thought it was an event advertisement for a data plan, so he naturally didn’t pay attention. Apparently, most people in the school had the same reaction as Ling Liang. They didn’t notice the text message, or they saw fake news that they thought was eye-catching and didn’t believe it.

When Xiao Fei heard it, he also took out his mobile phone to check. There was indeed a text message. After reading the content of the text message, Xiaofei hurriedly called his family, but he couldn’t get through.

“What should I do… My mother’s phone can’t get through…” Xiao Fei was a little overwhelmed, but still didn’t dare to accept this reality, “Why is this happening? I played until three o’clock last night and the internet was still normal…”

Qin Lang felt weak and sat down on his bed. His throat was sore, but he still endured the pain and continued: “Today is Monday, many people have classes. The announcement also rang once after six o’clock, but it wasn’t so serious to such an extent. Our school is not in the urban area, and the outbreak of the virus is also in the south. The school just wants to let everyone pay attention to safety. Who would have thought that K University, which is not even in the urban area, would happen so quickly, so what about the infected people in the south?”

Ling Liang: “The infection time is five hours. Could it be that the infected people entered the school in the middle of the night?”

“I guess, in the short half-day after the virus broke out, the virus’s erosive ability is stronger, and it may not need five hours, maybe four hours, three hours, or even less…”

“Brother Lang, stop talking…” Xiao Fei wailed.

As soon as Xiaofei finished howling, there was a new movement downstairs in the dormitory. He lifted the quilt, stepped on his slippers and got out of bed. He went to the balcony with Ling Liang and Qin Lang to see the situation.

“Help…help…”

“Ah…don’t bite me, it hurts…”

“Quick! Who can open the door on the balcony on the first floor? Help!”

There are generally hundreds of classmates who come to the dormitory together. There are also some female students. They were probably walking on the campus, and immediately ran towards the dormitory after hearing the broadcast. After all, in the rich K University, every dormitory is equipped with a powerful security door.

But they were not the only ones wandering around the campus, so they inevitably encountered infected classmates along the way.

They are still a group of students who have not entered society, they are neither selfish nor cold people. Hearing their classmates’ cry for help, several people in the dormitory on the first floor opened the doors on the balcony. The closest male classmate rolled over and entered the balcony, extending his hand to the girl behind him.

Others ran into their dormitories or rushed to other dormitories. There were actually one or two infected people in the corridors.

The few who fell behind were unfortunately thrown down, just like the classmate who was divided some time ago, they were eaten as food by those infected people. The scene was extremely bloody.

The screams echoed downstairs one after another, plus the sound of running in the corridor, the same sound also sounded in several places. Then, they finally arrived at their dormitory safely, but they didn’t expect that the roommate who came back first had already been infected…

Like Qin Lang and the others, the classmates who stayed in the dormitory early in the morning all watched such a tragic sight from the balcony.

Some were so frightened that they fell to the ground, some covered their faces and wept, some still couldn’t believe it, and some remained calm in such extreme shock.

On the balcony on the third floor of the dormitory opposite Qin Lang, Li Bin, the president of the student council, stood there. He shouted downstairs: “The students who opened the balcony door on the first floor just now, hurry up and check if there are any students around you who have been scratched or bitten. If there is, it is best to isolate them. Also, the classmates in the dormitory, if any classmates are knocking on your door for help, when opening the door, you must pay attention to safety. It is best for everyone to stay in the dormitory and lock the door. It was said on the announcement that’s only when we are caught and bitten will we be infected with the X-body virus. As long as we are in a safe space, we will definitely be able to wait for the country’s rescue. We are students of K University, we are strong and brave, our country is strong and united. We will definitely survive…”

Downstairs in the dormitory was extremely quiet. It was so quiet, like it was still the lazy dormitory building in the past, as if the extremely tragic scene just now had never occurred.

However, the bloodstains on the ground, the amputated limbs and other things that were not completely eaten because the infected person was probably full, all lay quietly on the ground, reminding the people in the dormitory buildings. This disaster came so unexpectedly.

Qin Lang’s eyes darkened, he almost fell from the balcony.

Ling Liang’s, who grabbed his arm and pulled him back into his arms, heart was beating very fast. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise Qin Lang might have fallen off the balcony.

“What’s the matter?” Ling Liang placed the back of his hand on Qin Lang’s forehead. The back of his hand was scorching hot, “Why do you still have a fever?”

“He’s burning again?” Xiao Fei helped Ling Liang lift Qin Lang’s quilt off, “Before going to bed last night, I took a look at brother Lang, his fever has subsided…”

Ling Liang helped Qin Lang lie down, looking at Qin Lang’s complicated eyes, his tone softened: “You’re not well yet but still came to open the door and pull me with so much strength too, you…”

“I can’t watch you die, can I?” Qin Lang interrupted Ling Liang’s guess angrily, his eyes looking elsewhere, revealing his guilty conscience. “If you are infected, your parents, my parents, and Xiaorou, won’t they scold me to death?”

Ling Liang frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Qin Lang’s explanation, but had to accept it. After all, if it wasn’t that, then what else could it be?

“What’s wrong with you? Do you feel dizzy? Does your throat hurt? Have you eaten breakfast? I bought you antipyretics. Have you eaten once?” Ling Liang, who was interrupted, still spoke softly.

Qin Lang looked at him blankly, as if he couldn’t believe that this person that was so gentle to him is Ling Liang.

After regaining his senses, he lay on the bed with a wicked smile in his eyes, and instructed: “Um, I bought a rice cooker a few days ago. I still have rice in the cupboard, so you can cook some porridge.”

When Ling Liang boiled the rice in the pot, Qin Lang yawned again and said, “Actually, I drank a carton of milk in the morning and ate two apples. Now I’m not hungry at all. Pour some boiled water for me and take the medicine too, okay? I’ll go to bed now. You can wake me up and eat when it’s done.”

Xiao Fei watched from the side, the corners of his mouth twitched. Brother Lang’s arrogant expression is really… special! Look, Brother Liang is silent now, he must be holding back his big move. He will definitely ridicule Brother Lang in a moment.

However, the mockery that Xiao Fei expected did not arrive as expected. Ling Liang poured water for Qin Lang, brought it to Qin Lang’s bed, opened the pill box for him, put the pills in Qin Lang’s palm, watched him eat and lay down, and then pulled the quilt to cover him…

Xiao Fei: “…” This world is a fantasy! This is the apocalypse, that’s why those classmates who eat people just now are real. Otherwise, how could Ling Liang be so gentle and considerate to Qin Lang?!

Xiao Fei rushed into the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, and then rushed out again. Ling Liang was still sitting beside Qin Lang’s bed, staring at the back of Qin Lang’s head, his expression completely different from his usual indifference. He rushed out to the balcony again, the blood stains downstairs had dried up, the color had become much darker.

Xiao Fei slumped back to his desk, took the apple he bought for Qin Lang yesterday and ate it, slowly digesting the fact – the disaster was real, they were trapped in the dormitory, under such circumstances, even Ling Liang and Qin Lang, who were usually tit-for-tat, shook hands and made peace, caring for each other.

More than ten minutes later, the sound of water boiling sounded in the rice cooker.

Xiao Fei saw that Ling Liang was still sitting beside Qin Lang’s bed, and was putting Qin Lang’s arm that was restlessly trying to get out the quilt back into the quilt. He then tucked the quilt into Qin Lang’s back, wrapping the person tightly, and then he got up and opened the Rick cooker pot. This is the most common small rice cooker in the supermarket that Qin Lang bought. If the lid is not opened, porridge will emerge from the pores and edges.

In the peaceful atmosphere, Xiao Fei licked his lips and asked Ling Liang, “Brother Liang, has Brother Lang’s fever gone down?”

Ling Liang raised his hand and felt the temperature of Qin Lang’s forehead, frowning: “No, the wound needs to be treated before it will go away.”

“Wound?” Xiao Fei was shocked, seeing Qin Lang’s face that was hot and turned red because he was wrapped too tightly, he suddenly said, “Brother Liang, Brother Lang, he won’t be…like in the news? They said that after being infected, the high fever will not go away, he…”

Ling Liang gave him a cold look: “The news also said that if the high fever did not go away for five hours, he would die.”

Xiao Fei touched his nose and said embarrassedly: “Brother Liang, you’re right, I’m too nervous… Brother Lang hasn’t been out of the dormitory since yesterday, so how could he be infected and it has been a day since he had a fever…”

He said, then added: “What if brother Lang fever won’t subside? He has to go to the hospital…”

Ling Liang stared at Qin Lang’s face and fell silent.

Qin Lang was so uncomfortable that he stretched out his hand again. This time, the movement was bigger, and the loose clothes exposed his shoulders. The eye-catching tooth mark under his right neck was also exposed in front of the two.

Xiao Fei’s voice trembled a little: “…Brother Liang, Brother Lang, he…”

Ling Liang’s face darkened for a moment, and he quickly wrapped Qin Lang again before saying, “I bit his shoulder, don’t worry, He’s not infected. Now I’m going to give him some medicine, you go to the bathroom first.”

“Oh…” Xiao Fei obediently went to the bathroom after being frightened. After closing the door, he felt that something was wrong, “Ah? Brother Liang is going to put medicine on Brother Lang, why couldn’t I look? Isn’t it the spot on the shoulder, it is such a small injury, right? Could it be that the two of them had a fight two days ago. Brother Liang injured Brother Lang and even bit him. Fuck! Is Brother Liang three years old or what? No wonder he wants to push me away…”

Ling Liang, who had indeed “fight” with Qin Lang, pressed the quilt on Qin Lang’s upper body, then sat at the end of the bed, lifted the quilt on his lower half, and carefully took off Qin Lang’s pants. Seeing that Qin Lang was relatively quiet at the moment, and that Xiao Fei hadn’t returned, he was relieved. He carefully gave Qin Lang the ointment, then put on his pants and covered him with the quilt again, and then called Xiaofei out.

The porridge should be boiled until it is softer and thicker. Qin Lang was already sweating. Ling Liang asked Xiao Fei to pour some boiling water. After warming it up, he wiped Qin Lang’s sweat with a wet towel.

Xiao Fei stood aside and looked very dazed. He doesn’t know how hard Brother Liang beat brother Lang, but now he must feel guilty to serve him to such an extent.

It was noon, the taste of instant noodles of various flavors wafted from several dormitory room.

The people in the dormitory that rescued the classmates on the first floor realized only now that they were too many and had no food. They wanted to borrow something to eat from the bedroom on the second floor, but couldn’t get on the balcony. If they go out, the infected people who are still lingering in front of the dormitory will definitely attack them. What is it like to be hungry? When the police come and arrest these infected people, they will still surely be able to eat delicious food again.

As the president Li Bin said, the country is so strong, they just have to wait safely for the rescue team.

Qin Lang was sweaty and weak.

Ling Liang brought the porridge to his bedside, “Eat it, I had cooled it down for you so it isn’t hot.”

“Oh…” Qin Lang just woke up and took the bowl of white porridge in a daze. He still didn’t react when Ling Liang reached out to touch his forehead.

“It’s not so hot anymore.” Ling Liang was obviously relieved, “Hurry up, I’ll wipe your body after eating. You can change your clothes and take the medicine again in two hours. You’ll be fine then.”

“…” Wipe, wipe himself?

Qin Lang made a random “uh” sound, holding the bowl and drinking the slightly sweet white porridge, covering his blushing face.

As he drank, he smelled other scents. He smacked his lips and looked at Xiao Fei who was waiting for his instant noodles.

Ling Liang understood Qin Lang’s thoughts almost instantly: “No, you can’t eat it. You can only drink porridge for the next two days, and don’t try to dip it in spicy oil too.”

The warm feeling of being cared for by the person he likes couldn’t be maintained for too long. After awhile, Qin Lang quickly spit out a word from the gap between his teeth: “Fuck!”

His stomach was warm. Qin Lang felt much better after eating. Seeing Ling Liang come out of the bathroom with water and a towel, his face became a little hot again.

“Uh, I’ll do it myself.” Qin Lang took the towel, his tone and expression were unnatural, completely different from the usual flamboyant and wanton teenagers. He seemed to be bashful and shy… Shy?

Xiao Fei looked at them in a trance again.

Qin Lang took his clothes to the bathroom to change, and just as he was about to close the door, Ling Liang came in.

“What are you doing?” Being used to using this tone for more than ten years, Qin Lang asked directly without thinking. He felt that it was a little unfriendly when he said it, so he coughed lightly and changed his tone, “Is something wrong?”

“This.” Ling Liang handed the ointment to Qin Lang, “You should guess how to use it, right?”

“…” Qin Lang lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Ling Liang, so his eyes naturally focused on the ointment. Looking at it, he suddenly found that the ointment had been opened and used. When Ling Liang brought it, the transparent film on the box was still there, but now it was suddenly used…

Qin Lang’s little chrysanthemum tightened, hey, his husband secretly gave him medicine. He liked such a warm-hearted little husband, but he said angrily: “Ling Liang! What the hell did you do while I was sleeping?”

T/N: Who want to be in Xiao Fei place? (OvO)
