I loaded the dream game

She said this to herself in her heart, but when she saw the zombie dog leap down from the roof of the car and pounce towards her, her mind went blank for an instant.

"Pfft..."

The sound of someone falling into the water was heard, and Yukinoshita only felt that she was pushed into the water by a huge force. The cold rain submerged her whole body. The sounds around her seemed to be isolated by a layer of membrane, becoming hazy and no longer real.

The feeling of cold water choking her nose brought her back to consciousness. She struggled to get up, but she felt like something was always pressing her down in the water, making it difficult for her to keep her balance.

But soon, accompanied by an unclear gunshot, the existence that had been pressing on her immediately lost its strength, and then a hand pulled her out of the water.

"Are you okay?"

Xia Zhi asked with concern as he patted the girl's back and helped her cough out the water that had choked her lungs.

After coughing for a long time, Yukinoshita finally recovered. She shook her head palely and said weakly, "Get in the car first."

She didn't ask Xia Zhi why he was a step late in catching up. The two of them had already spent long enough in this place. If they didn't leave, they would be in danger of being surrounded by zombies at any time.

Xia Zhi helped her into the car, then sat in the driver's seat himself and successfully started the truck after several attempts.

Hearing the roar of the engine starting, he felt a little relieved.

Only then did he have the energy to carefully check the girl's condition. It was also at this time that Xia Zhi noticed the girl's unusually pale face and the fact that she had been covering her left arm.

His heart sank slightly, and he realized something.

"It pounced on me from the front, and the bulletproof vest helped block the first bite." Noticing his gaze, Yukinoshita panted slightly and slowly removed the hand that was covering her left arm.

On her fair and tender left arm, a glaring wound had appeared at some point. The bright red blood that slowly seeped out of the wound was mixed with an ominous black color, which was shocking to see.

"He must have been accidentally scratched by its teeth while struggling in the water," Yukinoshita analyzed calmly.

Although she appeared calm, her slightly trembling voice and pale face showed that she was not as calm as she appeared.

"Give me your hand." Xia Zhi stretched out his hand to her and said.

Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment, but still obediently placed her left hand in his palm.

Xia Zhi closed his eyes and thought about clearing the virus from the girl's body.

[This modification will consume 180 dream points. Do you want to confirm the modification? ]

Just to eliminate a virus, you need 180 points? Xia Zhi frowned slightly.

He was thinking about letting Yukinoshita gain enough immunity to resist the zombie virus, but he was reminded that it would cost 210 dream points, which was even more expensive.

Is it because it involves Yukinoshita, a person from "reality"?

He quickly made a judgment in his mind.

So what about making vaccines directly? He changed his thinking.

However, the subsequent reminder that 180 dream points were required once again declared the failure of his idea.

"Don't worry about me, let's leave here first." Yukinoshita withdrew her hand, shook her head and said.

She knew very well that she had been infected. Although she didn't know how long it would take her to turn into a zombie, she was definitely beyond help in the absence of a specific medicine.

But Xia Zhi is different. As long as he can leave here safely, he still has a chance to survive.

and so……

Yukinoshita bit her lip lightly and said in a slightly dry voice: "Don't let me become a burden to you, Xiazhi classmate."

The girl who said this basically gave up her hope of living, and no one knew what kind of mood she was in when she said this.

"Do you remember what I told you that day?"

Xia Zhi did not answer, but turned the truck around and asked calmly.

"What?" Yukinoshita was stunned.

Then she quickly noticed that the route of the truck driven by Xia Zhi was a little different from what she had imagined. He was not driving away from the academy, but instead, he was driving towards the place where the most zombies gathered.

What does he want to do!?

Before Yukinoshita could figure out the answer to this question, she heard the roar of the engine reaching its power limit and the boy's firm words:

"I told you I won't let you die!".

Chapter 15: Max-level Kendo and Obtaining Vaccine

The roar of the truck engine immediately attracted the attention of the zombies on the road, but the zombies' fragile flesh and blood bodies were completely unable to stop the advance of this steel behemoth. They were either knocked away or crushed, and it forced its way out.

Xia Zhi's thoughts were very clear. The zombie virus on the school's isolated island would take no more than a few hours from infection to full outbreak. There was no way that Yukinoshita could survive until the end of the copy the next day, and the points he had were not enough to eliminate the virus from the girl's body.

So, are we just going to watch the girl die?

Don't be ridiculous! If this is the case, then all my efforts over the past two months would have been in vain.

"Xiazhi classmate..."

Yukinoshita pursed her lips and seemed to want to say something, but was blocked by Xia Zhi's "Shut up".

"I saved your life with great difficulty. I haven't even repaid you for saving my life, but you want to shirk your responsibility so easily? No way!"

Xia Zhi's words are full of unquestionable meaning.

If the 800 dream points were lost just because of this incident, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?

"...You can make it sound so righteous to say that you are repaying a favor. Xia Zhi, your character is even worse than I thought."

Yukinoshita spoke with some difficulty, and one could tell that her voice was beginning to become a little weak, and her infected left hand was beginning to spasm slightly uncontrollably.

Xia Zhi knew that these were all signs that the zombie virus in the girl's body was beginning to break out.

"So I told you long ago that you got the wrong person."

Although he was anxious, he did not lose his composure. While trying to keep the girl conscious by chatting her up, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and with a roar, the truck accelerated towards the destination in his mind.

The only way to save the infected girl now is to inject her with the experimental vaccine. The only vaccine he currently knows about is the one mentioned in the mission prompt, which means he must go back to the place where the helicopter crashed.

Nearly half an hour has passed since the helicopter crashed. The sound of the explosion has already attracted the zombies nearby. When Xia Zhi drove the truck to the crash site, he saw a scene like a zombie siege.

In the heavy rain, thousands of zombies crowded together, and many zombies could be seen crossing the gap in the wall and entering the academy. And in the distance, behind the rain curtain, more zombies could be vaguely seen pouring towards this side.

Faced with so many zombies, even heavy trucks lost their advantages, especially when the half-person-deep water provided huge resistance. Once the engine stalled and ran aground, it would be tantamount to a death sentence for the two people in the car.

Therefore, Xia Zhi did not get too close to the area where the zombies gathered. Instead, he stopped at a distance slightly away from the crash site. After simply cleaning up the zombies around him, he helped the girl down from the car.

At this time, Yukinoshita's consciousness had begun to become hazy, and an unnatural blush appeared on her pale face. Xia Zhi had no choice but to carry her on his back.

"Classmate Xia Zhi..." the girl on his back murmured softly.

"what's up?"

While answering, Xia Zhi spent two dream points to exchange for a pack of remote control C4, stuck it on the truck's fuel tank, and then took difficult steps away from here.

"You said... what does death feel like?" Yukinoshita's consciousness had obviously begun to become a little fuzzy, and her voice also sounded a little vague and light, like a fragile thread that could break at any time.

"There's no need to talk about something you've already experienced, right?"

After Xia Zhi arrived at a nearby house, he turned around to estimate the distance. After confirming that he was out of danger, he took a deep breath and said, "It's the feeling before you were born."

"..." After hearing his remarks that were different from ordinary people's thinking, the girl was silent for a long time before she said softly: "That is really... a very boring thing."

"Do you still have any romantic ideas about this kind of thing?"

Xia Zhi complained while pressing the button on the remote control in his hand.

The C4 in the distance exploded immediately, and the flames that shot up into the sky dyed half of the street red. The strong shock wave even pushed away the rain, forming a vacuum zone of rain in a short period of time.

Immediately afterwards, a second explosion sounded. Although not as powerful as the first one, it was equally loud.

The zombies gathered near the helicopter crash site were attracted by the noise here and staggered towards this side.

Success! Xia Zhi thought.

Although it was successful, I couldn't relax yet. Even though most of the zombies were attracted by the explosion, there were still many zombies that stayed near the crash site because of their slow movements or the long distance. In the distance, there were still a steady stream of zombies rushing towards this side. I had to hurry up!

Now the only problem facing Xia Zhi is how to get the vaccine from the driver while being surrounded by these zombies.

He thought rapidly in his mind.

Explosive weapons cannot be used, as the huge explosion will attract back the zombies that have been lured away with great difficulty. At the same time, explosions that are too close may also damage the vaccines.

He could not use individual firearms as the bullets in the firearms were limited. It would be very bad if he encountered danger while changing bullets. Moreover, he had to support the girl on his back with one hand, which invisibly increased the difficulty of changing bullets.

In this case, there is only one solution.

"Dream game, exchange kendo skills for me." He said in his heart.

[Please specify the skill level]

"Laman!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his dream points dropped significantly. At the same time, a lot of knowledge appeared in Xia Zhi's mind, and the world in front of him seemed to become a little different.

He took a deep breath and walked towards the group of zombies gathered in front of him.

The outermost zombies noticed the movement here and slowly turned around. Xia Zhi reached his hand into the rain curtain, and the next moment, a long sword with a cold light was slowly pulled out from the rain curtain by him.

"Shh-"

The sharp cold light cut through the rain curtain, bringing up a string of black and red blood. The zombie's body shook slightly twice and fell down, splashing a large amount of water.

Xia Zhi did not stop, and continued to walk towards the smoke-emitting helicopter wreckage with a long sword in hand. In front of him were hundreds of remaining zombies.

"Shh-"

Another sword light flashed, and the two zombies blocking his way were struck on the head by the cold light before they even had time to turn around, and fell weakly into the water.

The sound of falling into the water attracted the attention of other zombies around. More and more zombies began to change their original trajectory and slowly walked towards his location.

"Don't be impatient, but be quick!"

Xia Zhi took a deep breath, took a step forward and continued walking forward.

Although the zombies move slowly, there are too many of them. Plus, no one knows if there are other dangers lurking in the water, and he needs to devote his attention to protecting the safety of the girl behind him. So he has to be on his toes and be extremely careful with every step he takes.

Fortunately, his maximum-level swordsmanship skills were powerful enough. Within the range of the sword light, no zombies could get close to him, let alone hurt him.

A few minutes later, Xia Zhi, who had successfully arrived at the wreckage of the helicopter, breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he could use dream points to eliminate physical fatigue. Otherwise, with a body that had hardly done any exercise, his arms would have been so sore that he couldn't lift them after several minutes of high-intensity sword swinging.

There was no time to waste, Xia Zhi carried the girl to the helicopter cockpit and found the pilot who had already died.

After a brief search, he quickly found a small box next to the driver's seat. When he opened the box, he could see a syringe filled with a transparent liquid.

[Side Quest: Obtaining Initial Vaccine Experimental Drugs (Completed)]

[Reward: 150 Dream Points]

The game prompt indirectly proved that the liquid in the syringe was the vaccine he wanted.

Xia Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, but just as he was about to leave with the hard-earned vaccine, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed his wrist tightly.

Chapter 16 Don't Leave Me Alone

When Yukinoshita woke up again, it was already early morning of the next day.

The rain outside the window was still falling tirelessly, and the raindrops hitting the glass made a crackling sound. It was this sound that woke Yukinoshita from her hazy consciousness.

"here it is……"

She sat up from the bed and looked around, and found that this was not the familiar Academy Life Department classroom, but another unfamiliar room. Judging from the decoration inside the room, it seemed to be the bedroom of a young girl.

The headache and nausea that were like a fever had long disappeared, and the girl only felt refreshed all over, as if she had escaped from a depressing dark space.

She lowered her head and looked at her left arm. The injured part had been bandaged and it looked like there was nothing serious.

Without a doubt, Yukinoshita knew who did it.

She shifted her gaze to the figure lying on the bed, and as she watched the boy's peaceful sleeping face, her eyes gradually softened.

But soon, she realized something was wrong.

Although the boy seemed to be asleep, his breathing was not steady, but short and rapid. Yukinoshita gently touched his forehead with her hand and immediately felt a scorching temperature.

"Have a cold?"
