The two got out of the car, climbed onto the roof from the hood, and took a look. There weren't many zombies behind the dormitory, only a dozen or so.
Cheng Liangqing jumped over the wall first and turned to catch Xu Qian.
Xu Qian's expression remained unchanged. Without hesitation, she jumped down and landed gracefully.
"Let's go, I know where she is."
As Xu Qian willed it, a long saber appeared in her hand out of thin air. Cheng Liangqing was startled and scanned her hands, wondering where the saber came from.
There weren't many zombies, and the two cooperated seamlessly, silently eliminating the dozen or so zombies.
[Open map.]
Red dots had spread across the entire dormitory on the map, especially the girls' dormitory, with no green dots left. Several days into the apocalypse, very few people had survived.
There were also many zombies at the main entrance of the boys' dormitory. Xu Qian's eyes darkened, and she decided to go around through the teachers' dormitory to the boys' dormitory, as there were far fewer zombies in the teachers' dormitory than in the boys' or girls' dormitories.
The two moved with light steps, their bodies slightly lowered, and silently arrived in front of the teachers' dormitory.
Cheng Liangqing reached out and pushed the door, but it wouldn't budge. He looked back at Xu Qian.
Xu Qian frowned. It hadn't been locked last time.
She took out a black clip and bent down to pick the lock. In a short while.
"Click."
The lock opened.
She pushed the door, but it still wouldn't open.
The door was bolted from the inside.
Xu Qian leaned close to Cheng Liangqing's ear and whispered, "There's no other way. We'll have to climb the wall to the second floor and then go around."
Cheng Liangqing's ears twitched, and he nodded.
The first floor of the teachers' dormitory was normally used as a storage room and had no windows. Teachers began to live from the second floor upwards. The dormitory building had a total of six floors.
The two finally decided to climb up barehanded using the water pipe.
It was very dark, and the second floor wasn't high, but every room had a red dot. Xu Qian's eyes lowered and she said, "I'll go up first. Once I'm up, you can climb up."
Without waiting for his reply, Xu Qian grabbed the protrusions on the water pipe and carefully climbed up. The water pipe was covered in moss. Despite her caution, she still stepped on it.
Her foot slipped, and she slid down. She reacted quickly and immediately grabbed the pipe, steadying herself. However, the plastic protrusion on the pipe ripped through Xu Qian's pants, tearing off a layer of skin.
Xu Qian gasped, a biting pain spreading from her leg to her limbs.
Cheng Liangqing's heart tightened, and he looked up, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Xu Qian gritted her teeth and continued to climb. As she jumped through the open window, she raised her saber and chopped off the zombie's head. The stench of decay filled the room.
In less than a minute, Cheng Liangqing was up. Climbing to the second floor was easy for him; he had climbed to the fourth floor barehanded when there was no other option during missions in the past.
"Follow me."
Xu Qian didn't stop, quickly descending the stairs. With a single chop, a zombie's head would fall, her precision impeccable.
Along the way, they fought zombies, and when there were none, they ran.
Cheng Liangqing, following behind, was dumbfounded. This girl was more capable than the police?
The two reached the entrance of the boys' dormitory. Cheng Ya Qiu's corpse was unchanged and in the same position. A white cloth hung over her face, and there were several footprints on her body, likely from zombies stepping on her.
Having known her for many years, Cheng Liangqing recognized her as Xiao Ya at a glance. His eyes reddened, and his trembling hand removed the white cloth from her face, revealing her pale, bloodless face.
At this moment, he finally broke down.
This was his own sister!
Cheng Liangqing covered his eyes, tears silently flowing through his fingers.
Soon, he took a deep breath, his trembling hand gently caressing her wounds, and closed her eyes.
