Rebirth: I went back to the day of the zombie outbreak

I originally thought that I would retreat after getting the key.

But now that we have discovered that there are survivors upstairs, the operation has become complicated.

Actually, I don’t want to save them. God knows how many zombies are still in this dormitory building.

His eyes swept over the zombie corpses lying all over the ground. There were so many of them on the first floor alone.

Moreover, the system task requires fifty people, and I have already exceeded the quota.

Although one more person can provide an extra layer of protection.

But one more person means one more burden.

Now I have to take risks to shoulder this burden, which is not worth it no matter how I think about it.

I didn't express my opinion and asked Xiong Wei and Duan Kai what they thought.

Xiong Wei acted as if he was determined to save people from danger.

This Xiong Wei, others are virgin bitches, but you are a virgin.

It seems that I have wrongly blamed Xiao You and his gang. It was clearly Xiong Wei who wanted to get involved in this mess.

Duan Kai said sinisterly that he should take the Iveco key and go back to the library to pick up Ning Zhirou.

This kid is just dreaming.

Besides, if we save these people in the dormitory building, we won’t have to worry about the people in the library.

Thinking of this, I made a prompt decision and said loudly, "After going through so much, we have become brothers who have been through life and death together. Of course, we must advance and retreat together. It's fine if we didn't see the survivors upstairs, but if we saw them and didn't help them, what's the difference between us and these zombies?"

"You're right!" Xiong Wei was deeply moved by my words.

Duan Kai, who was standing by, became extremely anxious upon seeing this and kept winking at me.

I pretended not to see it, and Xiong Wei and I pushed through the pile of zombies and found the driver's keys.

I just don't know if this key soaked in blood can still be used.

After everything was packed up, the three of us, armed with various weapons, marched resolutely towards the dormitory building.

Due to the power outage, the dormitory building was pitch dark.

The doors of the duty room and the lounge on the first floor were all open. No wonder there were so many zombies.

We planned to go straight to the sixth floor and ignore the zombies on other floors.

I led the charge and rushed forward first.

As soon as he stepped onto the stairs to the second floor, he bumped into a shirtless zombie.

This is the first time I've encountered this kind of rogue zombie in all these days.

This zombie was probably upstairs before, and was attracted by the noise below and fell all the way down.

His whole body was covered in bruises, his neck was broken, his cervical vertebrae pierced through the skin and were exposed, his entire neck was covered in blood, and his head was drooping to the side.

The key point is that even after falling like this, he not only didn’t die, but his mouth was opening and closing as if he wanted to bite someone.

I couldn't dodge it and bumped into it head-on.

Even through my clothes, I could clearly feel the chill coming from the zombies' skin, it was chilling to the bone!

Fortunately, the stair railing was on my left, and I quickly grabbed it with one hand to prevent myself from falling.

I grabbed the butcher knife in my right hand and started to chop, but the zombie was too close to me, almost leaning on me.

In this awkward position, I could only bend my right hand slightly at best, and was totally unable to exert my full strength.

As a result, the blade only left a shallow scar on the back of the zombie's head.

At this moment, the zombie's head, which was originally close to my right shoulder, suddenly tilted and opened its bloody mouth.

A strong, pungent, fishy smell hit me in the face, making me dizzy and almost fainting.

The zombie's teeth had turned black, as if corroded by death, and were covered with disgusting rotten muscle tissue.

If you get bitten by this, you will die from the zombie virus or the infection.

For an instant, despair enveloped me, and a feeling of sadness welled up in my heart.

In order to save these people, he sacrificed his life.

What a damn bad luck.

Thoughts surged like the tide, and all kinds of chaotic thoughts were churning in my mind.

Memories kept flashing like movie clips, with every detail of the past rushing past my eyes.

I hope to die in a dignified way, preferably by committing suicide rather than being hacked to death by Duan Kai's axe.

"what--"

At the moment of facing death, fear surged into my heart like a flood breaking through a dam.

I could no longer suppress my inner panic and couldn't help but let out a shrill scream.

It seemed as if he wanted to release all his fear and anxiety through this shout.

For a moment, I was trembling all over and sweat was pouring down my face.

Just as the zombie was biting my shoulder, a piece of wood was stuffed into the zombie's mouth and directly broke several of its teeth.

I almost flew into the sky, but the foot that was about to step into the gates of hell retracted slightly.

It was Duan Kai, he was behind me holding a fire axe.

This kid's aim was so good at this time, if it was even a little off I would be dead.

"What the hell are you still looking at? Hurry up and leave." Duan Kai stared at the zombies with his eyes wide open and yelled at the top of his voice.

Hearing this roar, I came back to my senses as if awakened from a dream.

He subconsciously squatted down, then quickly dodged to the side, successfully escaping from the zombies' attack range and collapsed to the right.

At this moment, I felt my heart beating rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of my throat.

At the same time, a large amount of adrenaline and saliva began to be secreted crazily.

Now my eyes are dark, my whole body is weak, and the urge to vomit is rushing to my head.

Just as I was about to fall down the stairs, Xiong Wei, who was standing next to me, was quick-witted and reached out to hug me tightly.

However, at this point I had completely lost my strength and was unable to support my own weight.

So, the two of us rolled down the stairs together.

I was lying on my back on the ground, and I saw Duan Kai on the stairs pull the handle of the fire axe out of the zombie's mouth and lift it up.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the zombie's jaw shattered instantly, and its originally stiff tongue was bitten off by its own sharp teeth.

The broken tongue rolled on the stairs for several times and landed not far from me.

Duan Kai twisted his wrists, raised the axe and swept it across.

The shirtless zombie with a crooked head had half of his head cut off and collapsed on the stairs.

The scarlet and sticky blood had already coagulated into lumps, like a pool of dark red mud, covering the surrounding ground.

After resolving the immediate crisis, Duan Kai hurried to my side.

He squatted down, grabbed my arm and asked anxiously, "Are you bitten?"

"I don't know. Probably not."

Having survived the disaster, I dared not be careless at all, as if all my courage and strength had left me.

It was then that I realized that although I was reborn, I thought I was the protagonist of 1000 zombie novels rolled into one.

But at best, he is just an ordinary person.

There is no special ability.

There is nothing extraordinary about facing death.

Thinking back to the thrilling scene just now, I was terrified like a dog that had lost its home, and I would definitely be ridiculed by the two of them.

Rebirth did not bring me a qualitative leap. This damn "Hongjun System" was a waste at the critical moment.

Duan Kai patted my sweaty arm and said reassuringly, "No, no, you weren't bitten."

"Thank you, you saved me." This time, I meant it.

Duan Kai patted my pale cheek, showing a wretched expression again, and said jokingly: "What nonsense are you talking about? We are friends. How can I watch you get bitten if I don't save you? Then I will have to work hard to kill another zombie."

friend?

My face felt hot.

All my previous actions were only for the purpose of achieving goals and completing tasks, and were entirely based on considerations of my own interests.

But this time, facing life and death, I am so glad that my friend Duan Kai appeared.

"Leader, are you okay?" Xiong Wei, who was under me, patted me and asked.

I was wondering why I didn't feel any pain when I fell down just now, it turns out I was using him as a scapegoat.

What the hell, is this a leader? Can a leader be so embarrassed?

Xiong Wei was deeply poisoned by bureaucracy.

I climbed up with difficulty and sat down on the steps.

My legs and even my entire body were still shaking involuntarily, as if they were no longer mine.

At this time, Duan Kai took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs and gave it to me.

I looked at the saliva on the cigarette butt, hesitated for a moment, then took the cigarette and took a deep puff.

Then he slowly exhaled the turbid smoke.

The fear and weakness in my heart were exhaled out of my body along with the white smoke.

Why didn’t I realize before that smoking could make me so good?

Except for the smell of cigarette, everything else is fine.

My legs and feet stopped shaking, and my mind suddenly became clear.

Only by personally experiencing the test of life and death can one truly understand the value and meaning of life.

In my long journey of killing zombies, I have never had such a profound understanding.

It was not until I silently took the last puff of my cigarette, threw the butt on the ground and stomped it out that the two of them pulled me up from the ground.

Duan Kai looked at me and asked, "Let's go? Continue?"

I took a deep breath and answered decisively: "Keep going!"

We walked very carefully on the rest of the road, and looked carefully at every corner before moving forward.

Killed a few more zombies on the fourth and fifth floors.

But they were all killed by Duan Kai and Xiong Wei. After what happened just now, I felt like a waste.

I remember when I was taking the driving test, the driving school instructor once told me that once a driver has experienced a serious car accident, he or she will often develop a fear of driving again.

I think this is the way I am now.

So I handed the butcher knife to Xiong Wei, and walked at the back holding his stick.

In this way, our group of three finally arrived at the sixth floor.

The corridor here still looks a little dim.

On both sides are dormitories with closed doors.

There were several zombie corpses piled in the aisle, probably killed by those survivors.

"Where are the people? Come out!" Duan Kai shouted towards the corridor.
