Chapter 23 Finding the School

After about ten minutes, Brother Bing , who had just gone out to look for someone, returned. He ran all the way back and saluted Fu Jingmo, panting heavily.

“Second Lieutenant, what you said about He Ze is true. He’s still in the staff dormitory of Changyi Middle School and did not evacuate…”

Fu Jingmo frowned and confirmed again, “Is he still alive?”

“Yes, Second Lieutenant. At least he was alive during the evacuation. There’s a teacher in the team from Changyi Middle School. He said he was in the same dormitory with your friend. He said your friend refused to leave, saying that someone would come to find him.”

Brother Bing’s tone was quite helpless, as if he couldn’t understand why this person wouldn’t leave for safety and was still staying in the midst of the zombie horde.

Fu Jingmo pondered for a moment. “Please draw me a map of the exact location of the staff dormitory at Changyi Middle School and the route of your protective net. I’ll need to leave in ten minutes.”

“What?! But we’ve been evacuating for several hours. The protective net may have been knocked down by the zombies long ago. You…”

Brother Bing became anxious. They had seen the zombies in the school, and the entire campus was densely packed with them.

However, Fu Jingmo’s determined expression silenced him, causing him to sigh and leave to report the arrangement.

After understanding the situation, Zhou He only instructed the soldiers to do as requested. They couldn’t intervene in any decision made by District 113.

Brother Bing provided Fu Jingmo with gasoline and food, as well as a gun and ammunition. Fu Jingmo thanked him and then carried Lin Mu away.

The SUV was still parked in the same spot. After Brother Bing saw them off, he closed the protective door, leaned against the protective net, and said, “Captain, we will evacuate at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning. If you want to leave, you should come before 10 o’clock.”

Fu Jingmo nodded. He didn’t know when Lin Mu would wake up, so he planned to find He Ze first to ensure his safety. When Lin Mu woke up, they would decide whether to go to the safe zone or leave together.

As the night grew darker, Fu Jingmo started the SUV, made a turn, and drove away from the stadium…

——

The stadium was very close to the school, and the characters of Changyi Middle School soon appeared in front of them. In the dark night, these metallic characters reflected the moonlight, giving off an eerie feeling.

Fu Jingmo found the northwest gate that Brother Bing had mentioned. This gate should be the school’s side entrance, located behind the faculty dormitories and mainly used by teachers.

The raised protective net was still visible. Fortunately, there was nothing inside the net that would attract zombies, so it remained intact.

The car drove through the gate, and the night made Fu Jingmo’s hearing even more acute.

He clearly heard that there are countless zombies in this school, wandering in every corner, making a “hehe” sound from their mouths.

In order to avoid attracting zombies, Fu Jingmo quietly turned off the car lights. His night vision ability has improved a lot after the mutation.

Thanks to the fact that it is no longer raining, the moonlight is enough for him to see the road inside the protective net clearly.

The SUV slowly approached the staff dormitory, which is a row of five-story buildings. According to Brother Bing’s instructions, he quickly found Building No. 2.

There are two tall trees in front of the dormitory building. They are quite tall and can provide some protection.

After observing for a moment, Fu Jingmo noticed that every window of the building was pitch black. He Zhe’s room is on the left side of the second floor.

With a turn of his wrist, he looked at the rearview mirror and backed the car into the parking spot.

The rear of the car was against the entrance of the dormitory building, and the front faced the intersection. This way, it can block the door downstairs and make it more convenient to leave.

He didn’t dare to leave Lin Mu alone in the car. With a flick of his wrist, he threw a black crystal, which hit the wall next to the window on the second floor with a “pu” sound. If there is someone inside, they should be able to hear it.

Sure enough, there was a slight movement in the lower right corner of that window, revealing an eye.

Fu Jingmo stretched his hand out of the car window and shook his hand. The person inside the window seemed to want to confirm whether he was a zombie or a human, and slowly extended a finger and press it against the glass window.

“……”

Fu Jingmo, who was patient, also extended a “1”.

The person waited again, then extended a “2”.

Fu Jingmo couldn’t help but twitching his forehead, extended a “2”, and at the same time gestured “3, 4, 5”.

The person seemed to confirm that he was a human, stepped back from the window, and closed it again.

Before long, there was the sound of stealthy footsteps in the corridor.

With a “click,” the old iron door made a slight sound and opened a crack.
