Chapter 111: Zerg Invasion 5
But now… Chu Yian looked at the school’s peaceful appearance and suddenly wanted to find a place to hide. She simply wandered slowly around the campus, trying to memorize the entire layout of the school.
As a newly built school, there were actually many areas that were not yet in use.
Chu Yian was so meticulous that she even checked every classroom and every room. The abandoned storage room under the Sports Ground stands, the Fifth Laboratory Building that was not yet completed, the warehouse storing cleaning supplies in the underground parking lot… She only regretted not bringing a map of the school’s interior, otherwise she could have made more intuitive markings.
These were all good places.
It didn’t matter if she couldn’t leave the school; she had already found plenty of locations that could satisfy her need to “lie low.”
By the time she had finished exploring all these places, it was already six o’clock in the evening.
Chu Yian ate dinner and returned to her dorm room. The moment she entered, she smelled a strong scent of perfume. It was quite rich, as if someone had spilled a bottle of perfume.
Who did it?
She was about to ask when Zhang Lu, looking annoyed, turned to her, “Little Chu, where did you run off to? You missed all your classes this afternoon.”
Right.
She had forgotten that she was a student now.
“Luckily, I’m quick-witted. I told the teacher that you had an upset stomach today and were resting in the dorm.”
Zhang Lu picked up a bag of snacks from her desk and tore it open, “I covered for you today, so it’s not too much to eat one bag of your snacks, right?”
“Eat whatever you want.”
Chu Yian wasn’t stingy about a few snacks. She glanced at the bed above her, “Is Li Yun feeling better?”
“I don’t know. I went out for class this afternoon and she seemed to be in bed the whole time until I came back tonight.”
Zhang Lu replied.
As a roommate, even though she wasn’t as close to the other two, she wasn’t completely cold or heartless.
Zhang Lu climbed the ladder, pulled back Li Yun’s bed curtain, and was immediately hit by a strong, extremely pungent sour smell.
“Yuck!”
“Yuck!!”
Zhang Lu quickly got off the bed and rushed to the bathroom, throwing up violently.
Chu Yian covered her nose and retreated outside the dorm room, looking inside, “What’s wrong with Li Yun?”
“She threw up! The entire bedsheet is covered!”
No wonder the dorm room smelled so fragrant; they had to use perfume to cover up the stench.
But when Zhang Lu pulled back the curtain, the smell of vomit mixed with the perfume, making the odor indescribable. Even though Chu Yian’s psychological resilience had greatly improved in the game, she still couldn’t quite withstand such a strong chemical attack.
In an instant, the smell permeated the hallway.
All the other dorm rooms closed their doors; no one could stand the smell.
Chu Yian glanced at Zhang Lu, who had rushed to the balcony, and seeing her about to come over, she reached out to stop her, “Stay on the balcony, close the glass door.”
As she spoke, she took out her phone and dialed the infirmary’s number.
It was worth mentioning,
She had written down this number when she visited the infirmary at noon today, and unexpectedly, it came in handy now.
The reason “suspected food poisoning” was very useful.
The school doctor quickly appeared downstairs in the dorm building and carried Li Yun, who was on the bed, down.
Chu Yian jogged alongside the stretcher, her gaze fixed on Li Yun. Other than being unconscious, the other party didn’t seem to have anything unusual, until just before she was lifted into the car, her eyes suddenly opened for a moment.
Gray pupils, bloodshot eyeballs.
A grayish-yellow, segmented object wriggled and flashed across her eyeball.
“Alright, student, please step aside.”
The medical teacher next to her patted her shoulder, pushed her away, and climbed into the ambulance.
Bugs!
Zerg!
Chu Yian stood frozen, extremely shocked.
The bugs in this round of the game were clearly not what she had imagined—they were parasitic! It was only the second day of the game, and the bugs had already parasitized her roommate, so close to her!
Chu Yian was deeply shocked and couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Thinking that Zhang Lu was still in the dorm room, she quickly took out her phone.
[Come out quickly, don’t touch any of Li Yun’s things.]
“What’s wrong?”
Zhang Lu hurried downstairs, covering her nose, her expression a little bewildered.
“You didn’t touch Li Yun just now, did you?” Chu Yian asked.
“No, I was almost knocked out by the smell.”
She lowered her arm from her nose, taking deep breaths of the fresh air around her, “How can anyone live in our dorm room with this smell now? I wonder where Xu Yangyang went.”
Xu Yangyang was the other girl in the dorm room.
She was closest to Li Yun, knew more things, and was more likely to be parasitized by bugs.
“Did Xu Yangyang vomit or feel unwell this afternoon?”
“Doesn’t seem like it.”
Zhang Lu carefully recalled the situation this afternoon, “When I was in class, she also went out. You know she’s the most competitive person in our dorm, always at the library, and won’t come back until 9:30 PM.”
Alright.
Chu Yian took out her phone and sent a message to Xu Yangyang, asking her to come back early today.
Although she sent a message, Xu Yangyang still didn’t arrive back at the dorm room until 9:30 PM.
For over two hours, they were fully equipped and cleaned the dorm room. All of Li Yun’s bedsheets were thrown into the trash can downstairs, and Chu Yian sprayed disinfectant everywhere in the dorm room.
As Xu Yangyang walked into the dorm room, she immediately smelled a pungent odor. She placed her backpack on her chair, “What did you do? The dorm room has such a strong smell.”
“Didn’t you see the message on your phone?”
Chu Yian glanced at her.
The information had been conveyed to her two hours ago, yet she only returned after everyone else had finished everything. How could she be so shameless?
“I was studying, I didn’t check my phone.”
Xu Yangyang casually brushed it off, “By the way, is Li Yun alright?”
“She was sent to the Hospital.”
Chu Yian said, looking at her eyes.
Xu Yangyang’s eyes were normal, her complexion rosy, and she looked very healthy.
“What did Li Yun eat at the Cafeteria today at noon?” she asked.
All the signs today indicated that the Cafeteria was the cause of people getting infected with bugs. Since there was already one infected person in their dorm room, what she ate could be the source of infection.
Xu Yangyang: “She had a portion of potato ribs and boiled sliced pork at the Cafeteria today.”
Chu Yian continued to ask: “Did you two eat the same thing?”
“No.”
Xu Yangyang replied, “I prefer lighter food, so I had scrambled eggs with tomatoes and garlic mashed loofah.”
Hearing this answer, Chu Yian relaxed a little, but to be safe, she still asked another question, “Did you feel unwell today?”
“No, I’m perfectly healthy.”
She was getting a bit impatient with the questions and took out her pajamas, preparing to take a shower.
Chu Yian saw her rather haughty demeanor. Although she was a little displeased, she didn’t bother to argue with her.
If the Cafeteria was the source of the Zerg’s parasitism, then it would be easy to deal with; as long as they didn’t eat the food there, they could avoid it.
She looked at Zhang Lu, who was standing beside her, “The Cafeteria isn’t clean lately, don’t eat there. Let’s go to the supermarket tomorrow and buy some food to keep in the dorm room.”
