Chapter 55 Lack of Water

Chapter 55 Lack of Water

That familiar roar made everything go black.

Having spent a month in the dormitory, my fear of zombies was gradually fading, but the moment the roar came out, that shadow and fear returned.

Nan Yao's face turned pale. "Weren't the zombies burned to death by the high temperature? Why are there still some now!"

The temperature was so high before.

Humans cannot survive in such high temperatures, let alone zombies.

I thought that after this trip, I wouldn't have to worry about the zombie problem anymore.

It also makes it easier to find water.

But unexpectedly, the zombies came again.

The thought of the horror of zombies cast a shadow over Nan Yao, making her face look horribly pale.

Ji Zai frowned and looked towards the source of the roar. "Don't be afraid yet. Let's find Zhao Chenchen and use the drone to check the situation."

Zhao Chenchen was on the fourth floor.

The heavy rain has just stopped.

The corridor was covered in water.

Because of the virus, Ji Zai walked very carefully, afraid that the water would splash on him.

She quickly arrived at the fourth floor.

405 on the fourth floor.

I knocked on the dormitory door, and there was a response from inside very quickly.

With a bang, the door was opened.

An unpleasant smell wafted from the dormitory.

It smells like the stench of sweat in the summer.

It smells awful.

Ji Zai instinctively covered his nose. A girl he didn't recognize came out. She rubbed her eyes and said in a weak voice, "Greetings, Alliance Leader. You're here to see Zhao Chenchen, right? She's been very ill these past few days."

"I'm still lying in bed, not feeling better yet."

When the girl saw Ji Zai, she realized her current disheveled state and felt somewhat embarrassed.

After all, I haven't taken a shower for a month.

It's normal for some points to appear.

Ji Zai saw it, but had no right to say anything, because she was also smelly now, and not only smelly, but also had a stench on her body.

After feeling heartbroken and sweating for the people in the dormitory who hadn't showered for a month.

She frowned. "How many days has Zhao Chenchen been sick?"

"It should have been seven days."

The girl said, "Zhao Chenchen was the last one in our dorm to get sick, so she's still not better. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't be alive today."

The virus is very aggressive.

They've had a fever for the past few days.

High fever, cold sweats.

The food was malnourished; it's a miracle they survived.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zai frowned. "Nan Yao, bring out the loudspeaker in a bit and tell all the dormitories to ventilate. We've been stuck inside for a month, and we haven't dared to open the windows. Maybe that's why we're recovering so slowly."

Nan Yao nodded. "I understand, but the most important thing right now is the zombies! How did they come back to life?"

After Nan Yao finished speaking, two zombie roars came from somewhere.

It could be heard very clearly throughout the entire dormitory building.

The most terrifying thing is the fear of not knowing where the zombies are.

They seemed to have become lambs to the slaughter, with the constant possibility of being bitten by zombies.

Ji Zai also said helplessly, "The situation is too complicated now. The sky is still overcast, and I'm afraid it will rain again."

The most important thing now is to ensure they don't turn into zombies.

The people in the lab are too cunning.

Nobody knows where they might tamper with things.

However, according to the records, those bastards were eager to turn everyone into zombies so they could get the experimental data they wanted.

If there really is something wrong with this rain.

They were completely wiped out as soon as they went out.

Ji Zai looked at the disheveled appearance of the people around him and couldn't bear to look at them. "Wait a minute, I'll go check the chemistry lab. I remember we brought back a lot of reagents from the chemistry lab last time, and it seems like there are some things we need for disinfectant in there."

"Then I remember you guys retrieved a microscope from the school's vault last time."

"We can also take a sample to see what happens."

At this point, Ji Zai had already figured out what to do.

She stretched and said, "Go and tell the other dormitories to open their windows for ventilation. If it rains, close the doors immediately."

Nan Yao nodded to Xue Nai.

Ouyang Yi is currently unconscious, so there's nothing we can do but have those who are awake carry out the tasks.

Why.

This is a huge dormitory area.

Only the three of them could breathe and jump.

For a better life in the future, I have no choice but to work.

Ji Zai went to the chemistry lab on the second floor immediately and knocked on the door.

Soon, someone came to open the door.

Manman opened the door and saw Ji Zai. She was somewhat surprised and called out, "Alliance Leader."

Ji Zai nodded; the smell in this dormitory was even stronger.

The moment I opened it, I almost fainted from the stench.

Seeing Ji Zai covering his nose, Manman felt a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Alliance Leader. For some reason, everyone in the dormitory has been sick lately, and we haven't had time to clean up, so it smells a bit bad."

Ji Zai didn't care either.

She glanced inside; the people inside all looked very thin, but they looked much better than before when they were half-dead.

It seems they have been eating on time this past month.

Ji Zai glanced at it, then went inside. "Now that the high temperatures have passed, if you'd like, you can move to a more spacious dormitory. This chemistry research lab is somewhat dangerous, so I don't recommend continuing to live here."

Upon hearing this, Manman nodded and said, "I understand."

After Ji Zai finished speaking, he looked at the medicine placed on the table.

It's just a bunch of random stuff.

None of the people in the entire dormitory could understand it.

Ji Zai looked at the people in the chemistry lab, frowning, "How many of you have fallen ill?"

After thinking for a moment, Manman said, "During the two weeks or so that the dormitory was closed, some people started to get sick one after another, but so far, I don't think I have had a fever."

"So I've been taking care of them."

Ji Zai was somewhat surprised, "You don't have a fever? What about your other symptoms?"

"Aside from some soreness all over my body, I'm fine."

Upon hearing this, Ji Zai was genuinely surprised.

The people around her all fell ill because of the virus in their bodies.

Even Ouyang Yi was no exception.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly quiet girl in front of them had a milder illness than the others.

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

Ji Zai withdrew his gaze and said, "Since you're alright, go help Nan Yao and Xue Nai. Many people in the dorm are sick, and we've almost run out of medicine. Quite a few need care..."

"Remember, don't touch this water."

The most urgent task at present is to solve the water problem.

Their health is in terrible condition right now.

If we don't deal with it soon...

Bacteria can engulf them.

The only usable water in the dormitory right now is condensate, but condensate is not healthy and cannot be used without special treatment.

But it's a coincidence.

Ji Zai is from the Chemistry Department.

They've done everything.

Laundry detergent, disinfectant, and even ibuprofen.

I've done both.

However, due to technical issues, they themselves never used what they created.

Actually, I'm afraid to use it.

Ji Zai felt a little guilty when he recalled the lab that the chemistry department had messed up.

Don't worry, teacher.

We will definitely carry forward the knowledge you have imparted.

Just as Ji Zai was about to leave, a voice came from inside the dormitory, "Wait for the Alliance Leader!"

Ji Zai paused in his steps.

Then I saw a girl with a high ponytail walking over.

Ji Zai remembered her, the girl who was badly injured and smashed half of Su Dan's medicine warehouse, Yang Le.

She didn't understand. "You called me?"

Yang Le nodded. "Alliance Leader, I'd like to know why we didn't collect the rainwater directly when it rained heavily earlier? Rainwater is cleaner than condensation, isn't it?"

This is something Yang Le doesn't understand.

Since the water shortage is so severe, why not just use rainwater?

She looked at that familiar face; even though it was disheveled, she could still vaguely see a hint of arrogance and haughtiness in it.

This is what historical records are all about.

That outstanding student who made the school proud.

Yang Le asked, "Furthermore, you said there are viruses in rainwater, but can't we filter and kill them? Why do you insist on not using those water resources?"
