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

I could only rely on my intuition and the remaining light from my vision to reach out a hand to grab the lighter that was thrown to me.

Almost at the same time, countless zombies roared, stepped through the open elevator door, and fell down one after another.

This is the tenth floor, at least fifty meters above the ground.

If this falls, my internal organs will be smashed into pieces.

However, the zombies driven by the virus fell down one after another without any hesitation.

After three or four seconds, I heard a series of "bang, bang, bang" sounds of things falling to the ground.

The zombies kept crashing and rolling in the air, and finally fell in the darkness.

It was like falling into a bottomless hell.

The sound echoed back and forth in the closed shaft, making people's hair stand on end.

In the darkness, all we could do was hold on to the track, close our eyes and wait.

Pray that you won’t be hit by the zombies and fall down with them.

I don’t know how many zombies fell down, nor how much time passed.

Anyway, I let out a breath until there were no more zombies falling.

He took out the lighter that Duan Kai had just thrown to him and lit it up.

The flames ignited, and the surroundings regained light.

The dark and mottled shaft came back before our eyes.

A hissing sound came from under my feet.

I looked down and saw that one arm of a hideous-looking zombie was hanging on the horizontal bar.

The other hand continued to reach up.

Other zombies can't climb stairs, but you can climb the ladder directly.

I will never allow such powerful zombies to exist in this hospital.

He broke the zombie's arm with one kick.

The zombie lost its footing and almost fell.

His body kept hitting the horizontal bar, and with a "bang bang bang" sound, he turned into a ball of minced meat and disappeared.

"Fang...Fang...Mu. You are amazing."

Above me, Duan Kai held tightly onto the slightly raised horizontal bar and spoke facing the wall.

I looked at Officer Yan again and saw that he was also almost exhausted and sweating profusely.

"Go see if there are any zombies outside the elevator." I whispered to Duan Kaina.

"What the hell am I still looking at? I can't stand it any longer - ah -"

As Duan Kai spoke, his whole body began to spasm.

This condition occurs when a person keeps his muscles tense for too long.

Seeing this, I hooked my left elbow on the track, leaned forward, and grabbed Duan Kai's ankle.

Almost at the same time, Duan Kai yelled and leaned back.

The gravity of Duan Kai's fall was directly transmitted to my entire right hand.

I just felt my whole body tremble, and I gritted my teeth, tensed my muscles, and pulled him back.

Fortunately, Duan Kai is small in stature. If it was someone like Du Long, I definitely would not reach out to catch him.

Maybe he'll take me away with him.

Duan Kai was hanging upside down in the air, still yelling.

The heart-wrenching sound echoed in the shaft, constantly torturing my ears.

I yelled, "Stop yelling, I've got you, hurry up and grab the bar."

When Duan Kai saw that he did not fall, he let out a long sigh and adjusted his posture.

He climbed up the iron frame in a panic and stood up.

Not long after, Officer Yan also climbed up to us.

At this moment, a tall and thin figure appeared at the open elevator entrance.

It's the one that sprays sulfuric acid.

This kind of zombie has a certain level of intelligence and might even be able to climb ladders.

I immediately let go of the lighter, and the shaft fell into darkness again.

The three of them held the shelves tightly in their hands, their eyes fixed on the elevator entrance.

I saw the faint figure looking around at the elevator entrance for a while, and then the whole body suddenly shook.

There was a "pop" sound.

A stream of dark green liquid shot into the pitch-black shaft.

The sound of the well wall corroding "crackling" sounded as if it was right next to my ears.

Fortunately, the liquid is in beams, not like a shower head.

Otherwise, none of the three of us would be able to escape.

After nearly half a minute, the zombie slowly left.

"It can't see us?" Duan Kai's voice came from below me.

I thought about it for a while and guessed, "That should be the case. The price of zombie mutation is to give up some functions. This zombie has lost the ability to sense thermal radiation."

This can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

There are still zombies outside the elevator, and it is impossible for us to climb out and take the safe stairs.

The situation on other floors is probably not much better than this one.

In this case, going down the well is actually the safest method.

In this way, the three people climbed down intermittently.

They climbed for a while, stopped for a while, and encouraged each other.

In the darkness below, the zombies that were not yet dead were still making terrifying roars.

The sound was getting louder, which meant we were getting closer to the ground.

When I could vaguely see the horrific pile of zombies in the light of the lighter, I signaled that it was time to stop.

So the three of them banged on the elevator door frantically.

Soon, voices were heard outside the door.

"There's someone in the elevator."

"It sounds a bit like Lao Yan's voice."

"Is it them?"

The group of people outside were discussing incoherently for a long time.

I pressed my face against the door and yelled, "Open the door!"

Then, there was a "bang".

Someone outside kicked the elevator door hard.

The door, which was originally made of iron sheets, became deformed.

Soon, everyone worked together to open the door.

The burning chamber pot outside the door was revealed, against the backdrop of a group of trembling shadows.

Someone put the chamber pot into the well, and saw Wang Defa's face floating in front of me.

"Oh! It's really you. How did you get here? The sound in the elevator shaft just now scared us to death." Although Wang Defa was mentally prepared, he was still startled.

"It's a long story, just pull us up first, Lao Wang."

Only then did Officer Yan breathe a sigh of relief and spoke weakly.

After the three of us got out safely, we ignored everyone's questions and just lay down on the cold ground, gasping for breath.

This journey took about ten minutes, and the feeling of fear finally subsided a little.

I felt like I was asleep and dreaming.

In my dream, I returned to the corridor on the tenth floor full of zombies.

The zombie that sprayed sulfuric acid pointed its chrysanthemum-like mouth at my mouth...

I woke up suddenly, so scared that I broke out in a sweat and gasped for breath.

Liu Xinnan's face was right in front of me, and she was looking at me with concern.

Xie Liting, Xiong Wei, Du Long and others were also there.

When they saw that I woke up, they all had questioning expressions on their faces.

I found myself lying in a ward, still wearing a bloody protective suit.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and replied, "It's okay, I was just dreaming."

"You are so bold. You actually dared to go upstairs." Liu Xinnan took a towel and wiped my face. "Officer Yan told us everything."

"That's right, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Xie Liting also came over and said.

I just woke up, and my limbs felt like they were falling apart. I asked in a daze, "Duan Kai, he..."

"Leader Duan has also woken up." The speaker was Xiong Wei.

Duan Kai!

What did I want to ask?

Did he turn into a corpse?

Damn it, if it wasn’t for him, would I have been able to go through this close call with hell?

Well, I saved him N times this time, so the life-saving favor in the dormitory building is repaid to him with interest.

From now on, let him go find his father, mother, and grandfather. It has nothing to do with me anymore.

"You're amazing." Seeing me in a daze, Liu Xinnan reached out and flicked my forehead, then continued, "Officer Yan said that you are really young and promising. You risked your life to save Duan Kai, and later, in order to save him, you gave up the chance to live and die together. In the end, you thought of prying open the elevator door to escape. God, do you think you are the protagonist of a zombie novel?"

I blushed at her praise and said casually, "It's just so-so. It's not just you, the student union, who have high awareness and talent. Did you forget when I saved Brother Xiong?"

Xiong Wei was standing beside him, giggling awkwardly.

“You’re just being ridiculous!” Liu Xinnan made a face at me. “Can we go now? They want to check you out. If you have any wounds, you’ll have to be isolated.”

I stretched my muscles and felt something was wrong everywhere.

Could it be that he was scratched by a zombie just now?

But it’s okay, I still have some powerful pills. If you really turn into a zombie, eat them quickly.

I just rested for a while and now I feel much better and have regained a lot of strength.

After I got out of bed, I followed them out of the ward.

Outside, groups of three or five sat together, but there were fewer people.

I heard from Liu Xinnan that many people were taken away for quarantine.

I looked at the time and it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Why is this night in the hospital so difficult?
