Chapter 68 - Warm Corpse 6

Ling Liang and Yu Chao’s expressions changed, and Qin Lang was out on the balcony watching them.

“Don’t panic! Be steady!” Qin Lang shouted anxiously.

The boy who was rescued was so frightened when he saw more and more infected people coming towards him. He was just about to stretch out his hand to pick up the network cable and climb up when he heard Qin Lang’s voice, he suddenly seemed to wake up from those two minutes and stopped.

Everyone has worked so hard to save him, and his swaying on the rope will only increase the hardship of the two above to pull him. If they accidentally fall down due to his reaction force, he will definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, he didn’t move, and before a dozen infected people climbed up in piles and caught him, Ling Liang and Yu Chao quickly pulled him up smoothly. Before he could untie the rope, Ling Liang pulled him off the balcony, pulled him into the house, locked the door on the balcony, and quickly closed the curtains.

“On the fourth floor, Qin Lang, hurry in. It seems that these infected people’s eyes can also see. They should leave after not seeing a living person.” Li Bin shouted from the opposite side.

Although Qin Lang was very worried about Ling Liang’s situation, he had to go in. If they are still outside and stimulate those infected, more and more will stack up, not to mention the second floor, even the third floor might be reached.

Those standing on the balcony back up one after another, no longer exposing themselves.

Those dormitory buildings fell silent. Only the roars of those infected who continued to climb towards the second floor tirelessly and painlessly could be heard.

“How come there are so many? It’s almost twenty.”

“Could it be that I just sang too badly and caused public anger?”

“…” They also feel speechless by that too.

“The voice just now was too loud. There were zombies running out of the dormitory building, as well as around the dormitory building… If we still want to escape, I’m afraid it will be difficult.” Suddenly someone said this.

Everyone just breathed a sigh of relief for Ling Liang and the others, and now that they mentioned it again, yes, in order to save one person, more people are attracted. If the rescue fails and they want to escape, what should they do?

“Zombies? Are these really like the zombies in the movies?”

“A rabies-like transmission that makes people die within a few hours and then get up again. People who die and come back no longer have feelings or thoughts. They only know how to attack the living and eat the living. We need to hit their heads to make them incapacitated, isn’t this a fucking zombie?”

“Ahhh! Why does this happen?! Laozi has been studying English for a week just waiting for the make-up exam…”

“Wuwuwu…I finally asked the goddess to go to the cafeteria for dinner at noon today.”

Some people couldn’t help but complain: “Ask the goddess, but you only go to the cafeteria to eat? Dude, that’s too stingy.”

“…” The poor man didn’t want to talk more to humiliate himself.

“Look, they didn’t see anyone, and they stopped.”

Two infected people had already climbed up on the balcony on the second floor, but they looked around with stiff necks and couldn’t find their food. Their bodies swayed as their feet stepped on empty air, then they fell. They all landed on their heads. It was only from the second floor, but black blood and brains were still spurted out. Retching noise sounded from several balconies.

But as everyone expected, the two zombies who broke their heads never stood up again. They were really dead.

The rest, who had been climbing, saw that there was no longer any sound or figure on the balcony upstairs, they all started their aimless wandering again. Their gestures and expressions fully reflected the words ‘walking dead’.

That’s right, if this isn’t a zombie, what is it?

As soon as the word “zombie” came out, people in several dormitories finally understood why they still couldn’t see the shadow of the police, and began to realize that this disaster would not end in a short period of time.

The excitement and tension from saving someone faded. What followed was more frustration, depression, and despair.

“When I used to watch zombie movies with my buddies, I said that if this virus really broke out and I go it, I would jump off the building and commit suicide, because I was usually at home with bad physically strength, and didn’t have a smart mind, how could I survive? After being bitten, I would turn into that kind of monster and run to eat people or be eaten directly by them. It’s so painful and disgusting. It’s better to die cleanly…Now that I think about it, I still can’t believe this bad day is here…” A young man wearing big glasses whispered. No one knew whether he was joking or serious.

The atmosphere in the dormitory buildings was extremely gloomy for a while. Even Li Bin couldn’t say anything at the moment.

The cool autumn wind blows the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance from outside the dormitory building into those dormitory buildings. However, even such a refreshing breeze brings not only the sweet fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, but also that stench of blood downstairs the dormitory.

The sun is gradually setting in the west. The sunset glow is like fire, bathing the entire K University in the glow. If it is like any other day, those boys who want to pretend to attract girls will pretend to raise their hand to welcome the sunset, but at this moment, K University is already very bleak. In the dead silence, no one has such a leisurely and carefree mood anymore.

“Ling Liang?” Qin Lang squatted on the edge of the balcony and whispered to downstairs.

Ling Liang heard the voice and came out from the dormitory on the third floor to the balcony, and looked at Qin Lang.

“Are you okay?”

“Are you feeling better?”

The two of them spoke out almost at the same time. The two people who were usually tit-for-tat, in a moment, seemed to tacitly let go of their previous contradiction for a moment.

Qin Lang nodded, “I took the medicine again, my fever has subsided. What about you?”

“I’m okay. The rescued one is okay, he was not infected, but scared. He hugged Yu Chao and cried for a long time.” Ling Liang said this, and rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Qin Lang exhaled and asked again, “Then do you have anything to eat?”

Ling Liang glanced at Yu Chao, and Yu Chao shook his head honestly, “No.”

He went to fetch water in the morning to soak the last bucket of instant noodles he bought last week. He had already eaten at noon, besides, their dormitory didn’t even have a kettle. Yu Chao could also be said that he was a good student so he has never brought any illegal electrical appliances here.

Ling Liang was speechless. Without boiling water and food, the three of them couldn’t stay in this bedroom all the time.

Ling Liang didn’t waste any more time, the zombies downstairs didn’t notice them anymore. He went back to the bedroom and picked up the previous network cable.

“I’ll throw it up, you catch it.” Ling Liang’s right hand turned. The network cable rolled several times and was successfully thrown onto Qin Lang’s balcony. “When you guys tie it up, say something, and I’ll climb up.”

After he finished speaking, he said to the remaining two people in the dormitory: “There is food upstairs. After I go up, Yu Chao will climb up again. As for you, wait for us to pull you.”

“Wuwu..Thank you.” The young man’s tears welled up again.

Ling Liang raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and walked to the balcony to wait for Qin Lang and the others. Qin Lang signaled that he had already tied it up and asked him to go up.

The physical strength of the dignified male protagonist is definitely not to be underestimated. After Ling Liang grabbed the cable, his two sturdy arms grasped the not thick network cable and quickly went to the balcony on the fourth floor.

Then Yu Chao and the boy also went up to the fourth floor safely. By then, the sunset has gradually disappeared and the light has begun to dim. They are going to usher in the first night after the outbreak of the virus.

In the dormitory buildings, the smell of food began to waft again.

The boy who was rescued was named Zhang Mao. He was in the same department as Tang Xiaorou, but not in the same class. He was a freshman.

“Fuck! There are rice cookers, rice, and noodles?” Yu Chao looked at the boiling porridge in amazement, “Friend, aren’t you afraid of the student council’s inspection?”

Qin Lang lifted his chin towards the opposite building, “The president of the student council is my buddy, as if I’m afraid—”

Qin Lang couldn’t say the word ‘dick’ smoothly, probably because Ling Liang didn’t like to hear him, a dignified young son of the Qin family, kept swearing from his lips every day, Ling Liang stuffed an orange into Qin Lang’s mouth to block his words.

Qin Lang was dazed for a moment. His arrogant tone changed along with the taste of the oranges that Ling Liang put into his mouth: “You should thank me for being so disobedient, otherwise you won’t get to drink hot porridge and boiled water.”

“You are the boss, the boss has the final say. So boss, do we get any food?”

When Yu Chao mentioned it, Qin Lang patted his head, “Fuck, I forgot!”

He opened the two cardboard boxes in the cabinet. He carried the cardboard boxes to the table, took a knife and slid off the seal, and then showed the contents to four people.

There was a sound of gasping in the room.

“Fuck!”

“My God, this brand of snacks is so expensive.”

“Brother Lang! No, Dad, you are my dad! Dad, why are you so awesome, you even saved two boxes of snacks.”

Only Ling Liang did not speak. He took out one of the boxes of chocolates with a subtle expression. If he remembered correctly, Qin Lang used to give Tang Xiaorou this brand of chocolates.

Hearing the compliments, Qin Lang was overjoyed and subconsciously answered: “I bought it for Xiaorou two days ago, but then I…forgot to give it away and haven’t gone out.”

Qin Lang finally remembered when he looked at Ling Liang’s expressionless face. After he finished speaking, he looked at Ling Laing’s face again. His handsome and sharp profile showed no special emotions, Qin Lang couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

Ling Liang put the chocolates back into the box and said, “Let’s keep more of this kind of food for backup now. While there is still electricity and water in the bedroom, we will eat rice and noodles first. If there is really no way to go out later, when the time comes, we can carry these around for emergencies.”

Several people responded and only took out two bags of beef jerky that they all wanted to eat.

After Ling Liang finished speaking, he went to look at the porridge in the rice cooker, and his face completely fell at this moment.

Tang Xiaorou, Qin Lang really liked her.

The porridge was ready, Ling Liang prepared a bowl to give to Qin Lang first, but heard Qin Lang, who was looking at the two boxes of snacks, and said quietly: “I don’t know how Xiaorou is now. Is she also in the dormitory? I didn’t give her the snacks, does she have something to eat…”

“Crack!” A bowl of hot porridge was placed in front of Qin Lang, splashing a little, burning Ling Liang’s palm holding the bowl a little bit.

“Eat.” Ling Liang said with a straight face.

“Fuck! Scare me. Ling Liang, are you…” Qin Lang didn’t have the courage to continue after seeing Ling Liang’s dark face.

Although Qin Lang didn’t finish his sentence, Ling Liang understood the meaning of the second half of the sentence, ‘are you sick?’

He’s afraid there really is something wrong. Since that night with Qin Lang, Ling Liang has been ‘sick’. When Qin Lang came out to drag him into the dormitory regardless of his physical weakness; when he wanted to go downstairs to rescue Zhang Mao, when Qin Lang pull his clothes; even when he heard that he was going to send Tang Xiaorou two boxes of snacks, he felt that he was a little ‘sick’.

It stands to reason that Qin Lang used to give things to Tang Xiaorou, and he never felt anything, he just thought Qin Lang was naive. After all, a lot of things were useless, and Tang Xiaorou didn’t like it either.

That clamoring and unhappy feeling, the dull ache that suddenly spread from the bottom to the top of his heart. Ling Liang felt a little weird. He seems to be jealous?

[Ding, Ling Liang—favorability +2, current favorability level is 45.]

Qin Lang was blowing the porridge, and secretly raised his gaze to look at Ling Liang. A pair of beautiful peach eyes bent without a trace.

In the evening, Ling Liang observed the zombies downstairs on the balcony for a while. He found that the eyesight of these zombies was similar to that of ordinary people. At night, their speed was much slower and some even slammed into the notice board downstairs in the dormitory.

After Ling Liang collected this useful information, he returned to the dormitory. The four people in the room are deciding on the bedding.

Yes, five boys, but only two beds. Although the beds are fairly spacious, one must have three sleeps together, which is bound to be a little crowded.

“I will sleep with Qin Lang.” Ling Liang came in and settled the matter with the hammer.

Qin Lang opened his mouth, but he didn’t object. He just lowered his head and poked at the seam on his sleeve. Although his face was reluctant, his subconscious movements seem very coy and shy.

Xiao Fei looked at Qin Lang, who was being like this, feeling like his eyes were a little spicy.

T/N: Can’t remember if I said this before but spicy eyes is a way of talking like what one sees hurts their eyes, or something you want to unsee.
