Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

No reaction, just a specimen.

He thought: I was probably too nervous just now and saw it wrong.

Even so, he wanted to leave this empty classroom as soon as possible. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he turned his back to the whole wall of specimens, he seemed to really feel a cold gaze...

"Damn... This is so frustrating..." Chu Xiao scratched the back of his head, feeling very unhappy, so he turned back and walked to the specimen wall, picked up the jar of eyeball specimens again, walked to the window and opened it.

"Go away!"

He threw the specimen far out of the window. The glass bottle shattered on the concrete floor, and the sound of the shattering attracted several zombies nearby.

After doing all this, Chu Xiao looked at the specimen cabinet again, and after confirming that there was nothing uncomfortable, he left the first classroom.

The second and third classrooms were similar in structure to the first, with the same uncomfortable specimen walls and the smell of formalin. Nothing useful, such as food or weapons, could be found.

Su Muhe had said before that a class of students came to take a biology experiment class today. Judging from this situation, when the disaster broke out, the students taking the experiment class might have already finished class.

"Wait... this is too weird... it's ok that I didn't see any students, but why didn't I see any teachers..."

For a large laboratory building, even if there are only a few managers, there should be at least one or two people to come to work? Could it be that when the crisis broke out, they had already found a chance to escape?

At this moment, the light of the mobile phone swept across an object on the floor of the corridor. Chu Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted and even his heart skipped a beat.

It was a shoe, and there were dark red bloodstains on the ground around it.

Judging from the style, they should be women's sneakers. The main color is pink and they are still very new. As garbage thrown away casually, they are too luxurious.

Chu Xiao slowly approached, picked up the shoe, and when he was about to take a closer look, a bloody toe fell out of the shoe.

Even though Chu Xiao had blown up several zombies' heads during the day and had witnessed even more disgusting and terrifying scenes, at this moment, his scalp went numb!

The toe nail was painted with shiny nail polish, and the cross-section was very rough, as if it had been bitten off by something.

It was a sultry summer night and he was still wearing a thick stab-proof suit, but at this moment, the chill all over his body made Chu Xiao slow down his breathing.

——Those students who came to class, they didn’t manage to escape before the disaster…

But where are they? Even if they turned into zombies, how come there are not even a single one of the 40 or 50 zombies?

What the hell is going on here...

The shoes appeared in front of the door of the fourth biology experiment classroom. It is very likely that this classroom is where the students of that class take classes.

Chu Xiao leaned forward and put his ear against the door. After confirming that he didn't hear any strange noises, he let out a deep breath, clenched the golf club in his hand, and then slowly pushed open the door of the classroom.

In the darkness, a pungent smell of blood pierced Chu Xiao's nostrils, completely covering up the previous smell of formalin.

With the help of the light from his cell phone, Chu Xiao looked at the scene in the classroom and was stunned for a moment.

He thought he had seen enough tragedies today and had become immune to them, but at this moment, he still had the urge to vomit.

The entire classroom was covered in blood, as if a group of people were thrown into a juicer, with all the blood squeezed out and then sprayed on the ground, walls, and ceiling.

Chu Xiao now knew where the group of students had gone. They had not gone anywhere.

The classroom was full of their bloody skeletons!

The bodies scattered in the pool of blood were not corpses at all, but human bones that had been bitten by something! The bones were scattered everywhere, and the thick blood plasma formed a full layer on the ground.

This is not a classroom at all! It is the cafeteria of some horrible monster! Those students are its food!

Chu Xiao seemed to still hear the miserable howls of the students as they were eaten alive. Just imagining it made him unable to stay here any longer! The blood on the ground hadn't even coagulated yet, which meant that all this happened not long ago, and it was even possible that it was still going on after they entered the building!

Chu Xiao suppressed his nausea and lowered his head to examine a corpse. He was not a forensic doctor, but even without medical experience, he could tell at a glance that this was not done by a zombie! Because human teeth could not bite so delicately!

At this time, he noticed that there was an empty iron cage on the podium in the classroom, covered with hay, and a large hole was torn on the surface of the cage.

He probably knew what had done it.

Chapter 17 Causes

The room at the end of the corridor was hidden in darkness, but at this moment all the nerves in Chu Xiao's body were sounding the alarm.

You will die. It is extremely dangerous.

That's where all the unrest comes from.

From the back door of the classroom, a bloody trail on the ground extended all the way to the depths of the corridor. It should be the trace left by a corpse or something being moved and dragged. In addition, Chu Xiao also saw tiny blood-red animal footprints on the ground and walls.

The number of skeletons in the classroom was obviously less than the number of students in a class. It was obvious that the remaining students had been dragged into the room at the end of the corridor.

The light from the mobile phone illuminated a line of words on the wall - "Yuntai High School Mouse Breeding Room".

Could it be that even animals could mutate? But if that was true, why weren't the stray cats and dogs they saw on the road affected? If the monster that ate an entire class of students really existed, why didn't they react at all after entering the lab building for so long?

Many questions flashed through my mind, but one thing was certain, this building was by no means a safe temporary shelter, but rather the lair of a, or a group of, man-eating monsters!

No matter why it or they had let them go for so long, they could no longer stay in this damn place.

Chu Xiao swallowed, stared at the end of the dark corridor in front of him, and retreated silently and quickly towards the staircase.

In a trance, he seemed to hear the sound of heartbeat...

……

Yuntai High School experimental mouse breeding room.

In the pitch-black room, a huge bloody flesh cocoon stood out, rising and falling like a heart. It was obviously made of a human body, the boundaries of which were blurred, the flesh was rotting rapidly, and on its surface one could see painful and hideous human faces, still with their mouths open, screaming silently, as if they were still alive, even though they had completely lost their human form.

These are the students who were dragged in here. They didn’t die, but they might as well have died.

Blood-red rats kept going in and out of the mouths and eyes of these students, which reminded people of an ant nest or a beehive. Those rats were like worker ants or worker bees, with bloody human flesh constantly going in and out of the blood nest in their mouths, as if they were fully serving "something" inside the blood cocoon.

"...Let me die...Let me...die..."

One of the students who became part of the blood cocoon was still able to think, and his consciousness had not completely disappeared. The pain of his body melting made him wish he could die quickly, but this body that had lost its human form no longer had the ability to faint. He could only feel his body gradually turning into nourishment for a horrible monster.

It was just an ordinary boring day half a day ago, but a disaster in an instant changed everything.

The young biology teacher brought a cage of experimental mice to the experimental class. The nearly white experimental mice were moving around in the cage, like a ball of snow-white cotton.

But suddenly, something strange happened, and the first to be affected was the biology teacher. She suddenly covered her throat and screamed in pain, then fell on the mouse cage and smashed her head into the mice.

The classroom was in chaos and no one had time to take care of the teacher because several classmates mutated almost at the same time and turned into zombie-like monsters that crazily attacked their fellow classmates.

They were lucky as not many students had mutated. Led by a few brave students, they smashed the zombies' heads with chairs and the rest of the people survived. However, they did not know that their survival at this moment was only the beginning of a bigger tragedy.

Since no one had time to take care of the biology teacher, her head was eaten crazily by the frightened mice. The teacher's blood kept pouring out of her head, dyeing the cage of mice red. The mice ate the flesh and blood of the zombies and gathered towards the teacher's head like crazy. They bit off her ears, ate her eyes, tongue, and nose, and then drilled into her body through these holes!

By the time the students noticed, nearly a hundred mice had already crawled into the biology teacher's body. Strange bulges kept appearing on her body, and it was obvious that mice were roaming around in her body!

She twitched all over and struggled to break free from the cage, staggering to her feet. Her young and beautiful face had completely lost its human form, and was completely a bloody "honeycomb" of flesh and blood that had been bitten by rats.

The students thought she was the same zombie, so one of them took a bloody chair and prepared to relieve the teacher.

However, just as he was about to strike, a rat several times larger than his own suddenly jumped out from the zombie's eyes, which had turned into bloody holes! The rat pounced on the student's face, bit through the boy's eyes in just a few seconds, and got into his brain!

Then, something even more terrifying and strange happened.

Nearly a hundred enlarged rats continuously poured out of the zombie teacher's body, as if she was only left with a layer of skin, and her body was full of these bloodthirsty man-eating rats!

The bloody screams suddenly filled the entire classroom...

——It would be great if I could die at that moment...

Many students were killed by the rats on the spot, but the rest had their limbs bitten off by the rats, and then they were all moved into the breeding room for experimental mice. The zombie that combined with the rats became the queen who controlled all the blood-red corpse rats.

The rats ate all of their own kind, then piled the bodies of the survivors next to the zombie. With her as the core, they built a cocoon of flesh and blood like a beehive or ant nest, and everything became quiet.

"... Just now... I seemed to hear some sound... Did someone break into this building..." His remaining consciousness made him think so. His consciousness was dissipating, and as his body melted, he felt that he was "disappearing". At the same time, the "Queen" surrounded by their flesh and blood was waking up.

——Is this torture finally coming to an end? Are we going to be eaten up by “her”…

"…………Whoever you are……Run away……it's coming……"

……

The first thing Chu Xiao did after returning to the second floor was to immediately close and lock the door of the stairwell on the second floor. He also moved a desk to block the door, and then immediately rushed back to the duty room to notify several girls to prepare to evacuate.

After hearing the news from Chu Xiao, the faces of several people turned extremely ugly. Especially the gentle Su Muhe, who turned pale when he heard that all the students in the class were eaten to skeletons.

"I don't know how much time we have left, but we have to leave as soon as possible."

"But we have no way to leave now!" An Suxin gritted her teeth and said, "There are too many zombies outside. If we leave here suddenly, we will die!"

Caught between a rock and a hard place, he was in a hopeless situation!

An Suxin's eyes narrowed, as if she had thought of something: "I'll go prepare some things, it shouldn't take long."

After saying that, he quickly ran towards the experimental classroom.

Chu Xiao didn’t know what An Suxin was going to do, and he didn’t ask much, because he believed that this woman would not do anything unnecessary at this time.

At this time, Su Muhe walked to Chu Xiao's side, and her expression made Chu Xiao's pressure even greater.

"Brother Xiao, Xiaoyan has started to have a fever..."

Chapter 18 Waiting

It was already the second half of the night, but the heavy rain had yet to fall, so much so that the air seemed frozen and extremely dull.

When Chu Xiao arrived at the duty room, he saw that his sister's face was a sickly red and her temperature was frighteningly high. Su Muhe had already applied a cold towel to her forehead, but it had almost no effect.

"Is there any other solution?" Chu Xiao asked in a deep voice, his voice was surprisingly calm.

Of course he was anxious, but he knew better that being anxious would not solve any problem. He needed to think and struggle. He had already promised someone and could not continue to be in such a mess.

Su Muhe looked at Chu Xiao with a little surprise, and then replied: "I have tried everything I can, but the conditions here are limited, and I can't even treat the symptoms."

Chu Xiao had heard from his sister before that Su Muhe's parents were great medical professors and she herself had abundant medical knowledge, so at this time, Su Muhe, this little girl, was actually the most authoritative.

"Where can we save her?" Chu Xiao gave the power to decide the next destination to Su Muhe.

The girl stared at Chu Xiao's eyes, then looked at her best friend who was sleeping on the bed and was obviously in pain, and gritted her teeth and said, "Go to my home hospital, the private Qinghe Hospital, to find my parents."

The private Qinghe Hospital is quite famous even nationwide, and its medical equipment is among the most advanced in the country. Su Muhe's parents are the founders and deans of this large comprehensive hospital. They are also top experts in biology and medicine in the country.

"My parents are very capable, they will definitely find a way!" The girl said confidently. She didn't want Chu Xiao to think that she said this because she wanted to reunite with her parents, but in fact, her parents were indeed the most likely people to save Chu Yan at this time.

Although he couldn't contact his parents through the cell phone, no one could guarantee whether the couple was still alive, let alone whether they would be able to treat Chu Yan. But Chu Xiao was already half drowned in the water, and he would desperately grab at any life-saving straw, no matter how tiny it was!

However, precisely because of Qinghe Hospital’s popularity, it has become the most dangerous place at this time.

Every day, patients from all over the country come to Qinghe Hospital for medical treatment, so the hospital must be one of the most crowded places. Under such a huge disaster, it may have become a ghost place more dangerous than school.

"Okay, after we leave here, we will go to Qinghe Hospital!" Chu Xiao made the decision and determined the next goal.

Since they were going to meet up with the Su family, Su Muhe must go with them. Ruan Mengmeng patted her chest and said, "Of course I will go with them."

An Suxin had already made an agreement with Chu Xiao, and Chu Xiao was sure that she would go with him.

——We have to move from one dangerous place to another place that may be even more dangerous.

The only problem left to solve was how to get through the dense swarm of zombies outside the building. They wanted to get from the laboratory building to the parking lot, and the shortest route was to start from the flower bed downstairs and then cross the entire playground. Under the current circumstances, this was simply courting death!

The road from the laboratory building to the playground alone was filled with densely packed zombies wandering around, and there were no bushes or anything like that to hide or provide cover. Rushing down without any preparation would be like walking into the zombies' mouths.

As if to prove how stupid it was to rush out in the dark, at this moment, a group of survivors ran out from the teaching building a little further away. In the darkness and the dim street lights on campus, Chu Xiao could only see the blurry shadows of the group of people. They must have survived the disaster during the day and now wanted to escape from the school at night.

However, the zombies' reaction in the night was much more sensitive than they imagined. As soon as they approached the zombies, the zombies seemed to be awakened instantly, ignoring the night and rushing straight towards them. The night, which was originally used as a cover, became an obstacle for the survivors to escape. In the dim night, they could not see the road and the situation clearly, so they could only flee in panic. Their screams attracted more zombies, and they were soon completely overwhelmed by the zombies.

It took only a few minutes from their appearance to their death.

Standing in front of the window on the second floor, Chu Xiao looked coldly at the tragedy happening downstairs. He was surprised that his mentality was so calm.

Only one day had passed, but he had already begun to adapt to the new order of this world. He was able to accept the miserable deaths of his own kind in front of him so calmly and even indifferently.

He looked at the tightly closed door of the laboratory classroom and resisted the urge to push it open.

An Suxin locked herself in the experimental classroom at the moment and no one knew what she was doing. Chu Xiao felt that he could not always rely on the secretary to make decisions on everything - although he had to admit that a smart and pretty secretary was indeed very useful... in every aspect.

"...The zombies' vision should be limited. They should rely mainly on their sense of smell and hearing...So the night itself cannot be an obstacle to the zombies' actions, but an obstacle to us," they concluded by observing the zombies' bodies and their actions along the way. "So...if there is something that can hinder the zombies' senses, then our escape will be much easier..."

Chu Xiao muttered to himself as he watched the zombies enjoying a feast of flesh and blood outside the window. Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky. There seemed to be muffled thunder in the distance, and in the thick clouds, it seemed that a huge anger was brewing, ready to pour down at any time.

It rains frequently in this season, and it often rains heavily. Judging from the current weather, the rain that is about to fall will be significant.
