Zhao Tianlei Infected

As Wu Bin was about to turn back to rescue Zhao Tianlei, Ye Sitong gritted her teeth and, with a heavy heart, grabbed Wu Bin, saying, "Wu Bin, I'm more heartbroken about Tianlei's situation than you are. I don't know when it started, but I've begun to like him. But now he's been scratched by those zombies. Just as I came down, he locked the window and charged into the zombies. He used his death to buy us a chance to escape. If we don't cherish it and run back, it'll be no different from rushing to our deaths. Do you want him to die in peace?"

After speaking, Ye Sitong bit her lip and looked at Shen Xinyu beside her, saying, "And you, Shen Xinyu, perhaps in your eyes, Zhao Tianlei was just a good-for-nothing poor boy, but he always had a secret crush on you. I know you wouldn't like him, but I just feel sorry for him. All this time in school, he was always bullied, but he never gave up on life. Now that the apocalypse has broken out, he's the first one who dared to risk his life to rescue us. I'm not asking you to like him or be moved by him; I just want you to remember him, so his sacrifice wasn't in vain."

Ye Sitong's words were very moving. Although Shen Xinyu had seen all sorts of people and encountered various stories of sacrifice for love in many movies, she could say that for an unknown fan like Zhao Tianlei, she wouldn't even bother to remember him if it weren't for their classmate relationship. However, everything Zhao Tianlei had done this time truly touched Shen Xinyu's heart. Thinking of the classmates and teachers around her, one by one, falling prey to the zombies, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She looked at Ye Sitong in silence.

Seeing Shen Xinyu's red eyes, on the verge of tears, Ye Sitong couldn't say anything more. Instead, she turned to Wu Bin and said, "Wu Bin, among our group, you're the only guy. From now on, you are our captain. You must take on the responsibility of protecting us. Of course, we won't hold you back either. We'll work together to survive, for ourselves, and for Tianlei's sacrifice."

Upon hearing Ye Sitong's words, Wu Bin gritted his teeth and said, "I understand. I will definitely try my best."

As he spoke, Wu Bin felt the burden on his shoulders instantly increase. Holding a stick he had found somewhere, he cautiously observed the situation below. He found no zombies nearby, clearly, those zombies had already rushed into the library for a feast.

Immediately, Wu Bin cautiously crawled down. After confirming there were no issues, he beckoned to the others. The three women took turns stepping on Wu Bin's shoulders to climb down, then ran along the wall towards other seemingly safe areas.

Meanwhile, to give Wu Bin and the others absolute safety, Zhao Tianlei had no qualms about using himself as bait, attracting the zombies and leading them upstairs. Zhao Tianlei had originally been unwilling to go upstairs because all the students had run from the stairs to the third floor, which had drawn all the following zombies. It was important to note that the third floor was a spacious reading area, with no place to hide at all.

Although Zhao Tianlei had already accepted his fate, he didn't want to be bitten to death by the zombies, or rather, he was unwilling to die like this. However, seeing the zombies constantly chasing him, and with many zombies surging up from the other staircase, it could be said that all escape routes were blocked. Zhao Tianlei had no choice but to walk towards the edge of a window. After chopping down a few of the closest zombies, Zhao Tianlei directly opened the window, climbed out, and scaled the roof using a pipe.

However, during the climb, due to multiple scratches and a bite wound, Zhao Tianlei's injuries kept pulling, and if he hadn't persevered, he would have fallen long ago. Some other students, seeing this, also started to imitate Zhao Tianlei, wanting to run over and climb out the window.

But at this moment, the entire reading room was already crowded with quite a few zombies. Even if someone opened a window now, it would be too late. Before these people could even stick their heads out, their legs were already being pulled by the zombies behind them.

When the zombies occupied the window area, no one dared to approach the windows. The one or two remaining windows were also fought over by some students, leading to no one yielding to another. Finally, one student managed to grab a spot and climb out, but before he could grab the pipe, he was pushed by a student behind him. With a scream, he fell directly from the third floor.

As soon as Zhao Tianlei climbed onto the roof, he immediately rolled and scrambled, finding a spot to lie down. At this moment, he didn't want to move at all, not even bothering to blink, as if truly waiting for death to arrive.

In a secret underground base somewhere, a report was heard again.

"Report, Dr. Zhao, we just received news that Subject 0's condition has become abnormal. His body has been infected by the Biochemical Virus in multiple places, and his vitality is continuously weakening. He could become a zombie at any moment."

Upon hearing the report, the woman known as Dr. Zhao slammed the table and exclaimed, "What? How could this happen? It's been less than a day since the outbreak, and Subject 0 is about to undergo corpse transformation. Are all our hopes going to be dashed? By the way, wasn't Subject 0 injected with the Virus Evolution Fluid?"

"According to the detection scan, Subject 0 was clearly not injected with the Virus Evolution Fluid. Based on his current vitality, he probably won't last three minutes. Once the time passes, he will enter a state of death, and even injecting the Virus Evolution Fluid then will be useless."

"It's over, everything is over... Humanity has no hope left."

"Sigh, I didn't expect to die in this apocalypse. Oh well, I guess Wu Bin must have safely escaped with Ye Sitong and Shen Xinyu. Cough, cough, it seems this body won't last much longer. I should eat something filling before I go."

As he spoke, Zhao Tianlei activated the storage ring in his hand. Instantly, the storage space appeared before him. Looking at the food in front of him, Zhao Tianlei couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, what's the use of having so much food? I didn't expect that even with this powerful item, I, a rookie before the apocalypse, wouldn't survive a day after it."

After saying that, Zhao Tianlei laboriously picked up a steamed bun and a bottle of water, preparing to eat. Suddenly, a transparent bottle of blue liquid caught Zhao Tianlei's attention, stunning him. He even forgot to bite the steamed bun that was already at his lips.

In that instant, Zhao Tianlei was suddenly struck by a thought. If he remembered correctly, the voice in his mind at that time told him that this thing was called Virus Evolution Fluid. If he didn't have the virus in his body and injected it directly, he would become a terrifying zombie. But if he was infected by the virus and then injected this, he would evolve.
