Zombie UniversityCh27 - White Knight

Translator: transcendent.wings


Fear gripped Luo Geng’s heart as he whipped around to peer behind him. However, before he was able to get a good look, he was tackled to the ground by a huge force and could only watch helplessly as a mouth dripping with blood chomped down on his face! ojMlLp

Ka!

The teeth of the zombie slammed onto the goggles forcefully then as if it realized something, it immediately loosened its jaws and aimed for his neck in the next second!

Luo Geng’s body including his arms were tightly pinned down underneath rendering him completely immobile and he could only watch as the zombie was about to plant a hickey of death!

In his moment of crisis, a flying kick struck the zombie in the head fiercely! K2N8SM

It was Qiao Siqi who had noticed the abnormality first. He had no time to pull out his knife so he struck with his foot first!

Qiao Siqi’s kick was already brutal, however the zombie just tilted its head to the side a little in response while its body still pressed down on Luo Geng’s without budging at all. Luo Geng made multiple attempts to try and knock the person off, however he discovered that he couldn’t compete in terms of strength at all!

Just as Luo Geng fell into despair, the zombie crushing him suddenly released him and got up.

Luo Geng was surprised but he didn’t dare delay and immediately rolled to the side before quickly getting up at warp speed. Only then did he find that other than Qiao Siqi, his other companions also already collectively turned around and were about to attack with their weapons which were already at hand.

If the zombie was still pinning him down, Luo Geng thought, then at this moment, its brain would’ve been stabbed into a hornet’s nest by now.

“Why did it suddenly get up. . .” Qiao Siqi deliberately suppressed his voice until only a whisper came out and because the voice was quivering, it sounded even quieter.

Luo Geng didn’t want to take a wild guess, but he had no other choice: “Maybe it detected danger.”

Qiao Siqi wanted to cry: “We are clearly the ones in danger. . .” wCdhpq

Qiao Siqi wasn’t an alarmist, six against one, although it seemed very advantageous, but the zombie in front of them had a very important characteristic— burly. A height of greater than 1.9 meters by visual estimation and was probably about twice the weight of Qiao Siqi. Earlier, it relied entirely on its well-developed muscular physique to pin Luo Geng down by sitting on top of him.

And being tall meant that it would be even more challenging to injure his brain. It’s not so simple as being able to cause damage just by reaching the head, instead they would have to use force at the right angle or it would be very likely that they’d just scratch the skin and not be able to hit the target solidly.

Zhou Yilu: “What should we do?”

Song Fei, Qi Yan: “Plan D!” 8iAnXH

Action was taken before the command was completed. The words just fell when the two split up in opposite directions and ran at an extremely fast speed!

The zombie looked left and right in confusion and couldn’t figure out what was going on for the moment while the remaining four in front of it suddenly waved simultaneously: “Hai~~~”

The zombie was stupefied and stared blankly at the prey that were smiling like a spring breeze caressing the skin.

Then in the next second, its body abruptly pitched forward and fell in a standard dog-eating-sh*t posture as its face kissed the ground solidly! The other four companions were long prepared and the minute it lost its balance they already started advancing. With impeccable timing, they reached the zombie and soon a few pupu sounds rang out as the four inserted their murder weapons through its head! dHDTF7

The zombie struggled a few times and then ultimately stopped moving.

Song Fei and Qi Yan who had ambushed it from behind by hugging its left and right thighs respectively, both breathed a long sigh of relief. They exchanged a glance then let go.

What they called Plan D, was to create a diversion while engaged in close-quarters combat. The plan was set to have four people attract its attention in front while the other two looped around back to outflank it and if they were able to strike a fatal blow easily then they would do so directly, if not then they would at least make it lose its balance for easy pickings.

Luo Geng: “They really don’t like Hualu Shui.” DwUK8H

Qiao Siqi: “How can you tell?”

Lin Dilei: “If it liked it, wouldn’t it have immediately pounced on us instead of quietly listening to us say hi?”

Zhou Yilu: “It’s understandable. If anyone sprayed Hualu Shui on my sashimi, I would also lose my appetite.”

The companions: “. . .” dxQdlq

Song Fei: “Next time when you make an analogy can you not make it from the perspective of the zombies!”

Lin Dilei walked to the side and pulled on the suitcase once again. Just as the group was about to continue onwards, the sound of heavy and chaotic footsteps were suddenly carried over by the wind. Everyone held their breaths and swept their gaze around, there seemed to be countless eerie shadows intermingled with the pine and cypress trees!

“F*ck—”

It was quite obvious that the intermittent sounds of the scuffle attracted zombies from other places, so the few companions no longer cared about being as quiet as chickens and picked up their feet to madly sprint away! 4VwfHj

The library got closer and closer and their world was almost lit up as bright as day!

Countless red-painted windows and the myriad of antiquated balconies equipped with railings were their beacons of survival! CU6u4G

Qiao Siqi, the first one who reached the bottom of the structure, wasted no breath before he started to climb up, making full use of his hands and feet! As a result, he ascended too quickly and didn’t have a solid hold making him fall off and slam bodily into Zhou Yilu’s head who had followed closely behind him. Both of them fell together, fortunately, they were only a floor and a half up, so apart from having his dignity slightly insulted because his head was sat on by another’s buttocks, Zhou Yilu didn’t receive that many points of damage.

However, when he renewed his charge, Zhou Yilu adopted a smarter stance and no longer followed directly behind Qiao Siqi, he shifted to the side and was shoulder to shoulder with him instead. When Qiao Siqi climbed the first vertical row, he climbed the second vertical row so that they occupied different paths in order to avoid any further unnecessary accidental clashes or rear-end collisions.

Finally, the two of them made it onto the second floor balcony and after confirming that the balcony was safe, they immediately turned around to meet their comrades below.

At this time, Luo Geng had already reached the spot below Zhou Yilu, he struggled to lift the suitcase and Zhou Yilu promptly stretched out a hand to receive it. By the time Zhou Yilu jerked and heaved the suitcase onto the second floor balcony, Luo Geng had already crawled up by Qiao Siqi’s side. 1ugJhi

At that moment, two zombies had already arrived and were dispatched by Qi Yan and Song Fei. However, from their perspective on the second floor balcony, they could clearly see that there were even more zombies approaching from all around!

Luo Geng made a show of strength and pulled Lin Dilei up in one smooth motion and at the same time shouted at Song Fei and Qi Yan: “Stop fighting, come up quickly! There are even more zombies coming!”

In fact, it wasn’t that Song Fei and Qi Yan wanted to fight, but because at that moment, they couldn’t extricate themselves!

“Don’t worry about us,” Qi Yan pierced the eye of one zombie with his scissors and sternly shouted in response: “Hurry to the closed stacks section!” juaKoX

The four companions didn’t want to leave their comrades behind to face danger alone, but it would also be easier for them to break away if needed as a pair. On the other hand, if the four of them went back down again, there’s no telling what the situation would further morph into with zombies attacking them from all directions!

As soon as they saw Song Fei kick the zombie that was entangled with Qi Yan away then pull Qi Yan to his feet and make for the base of the nearest window, the four didn’t delay any further and continued to ascend!

The restricted books section held closed stacks that were not open to students at all. The books displayed there were generally so precious and it’s said that even if professors wanted to access them, they would need their department leader to sign off on it. Anyway, it’s usually always locked up, so when they laid out the plan to escape to the library, the safest place to stay would be there without a doubt. Of course, on the day of the outbreak, if the doors were already wide open inviting all of the zombies in, then they wouldn’t have anything to say to that.

The closed stacks section was at the highest part of the library which is the westernmost side of the fourth floor. Four people plus one suitcase were currently directly below it on the second floor balcony which made them a mere two floors away. 1jt Mq

However, Qi Yan and Song Fei were inevitably shifted more and more eastward during their combat and when they made a beeline for the nearest balcony, they were separated from the majority of the main unit by more than a dozen windows across.

But the two of them didn’t have the time to care about that anymore and only when they frantically scrambled onto the second floor balcony were they able to breath a long sigh of relief.

Qi Yan was closer to the window so he tried to peak into the dark interior to see if it was safe. Song Fei saw that he was had that covered so he didn’t bother doing the same and waste his time and effort. He turned around and tried to gauge the situation below, but unexpectedly his ankle was grabbed by a hand that reached through the railing!

Song Fei lowered his head and directly met the eyes of a ferocious looking face! jucemJ

“F*ck!”

Song Fei cursed loudly and abruptly raised his foot to kick the opponent’s face making the zombie fall back down heavily.

He immediately tugged on Qi Yan: “Hurry, go up! They know how to climb!”

These eight words were randomly thrown around, but Qi Yan already received the message and immediately started climbing higher like Song Fei! x UEVA

Song Fei hasn’t climbed as much in his lifetime as he had the past few days. It didn’t matter if he was exhausted, if his physical strength was lacking, or whether or not it was easy to climb, all of that was f*cking unimportant at this point, whatever foothold he saw, he would tightly grab hold of it. When one is trapped in a desperate situation, their body would explode with endless power!

Song Fei kept ascending without bothering to look down at all. Only one thought occupied his mind and that was the higher the place the safer it was!

Finally, when he collapsed onto the fourth floor balcony, although he was still separated from Luo Geng and the others on the east and west opposite ends, climbing over horizontally was still much simpler than climbing up vertically.

“Qi Yan—” 3Bq0Pk

Suddenly Lin Dilei’s scream came from the other side.

Song Fei froze and looked down swiftly only to see that Qi Yan had fallen heavily onto the ground with a bang!

A zombie also fell down with him. Obviously he was wrenched back down by that zombie that had climbed up. Soon after he landed, three more zombies surrounded him!

Song Fei blanked out, there was no time to think about anything, so he practically just hollered at those below subconsciously: “Hei— Up here, I’m over here, hurry and get up here ya—” oRQ3zh

He yelled and stripped at the same time and in a blink of an eye, he left himself in his birthday suit.

The remaining companions on the other end were stupefied, and Lin Dilei subconsciously averted her eyes— She was still a young maiden who had just understood what love was ah, commodities such as the naked body of the opposite sex was just too stimulating.

Maybe Song Fei’s voice was too deafening because the zombies below really did pause for a moment and instinctively look up.

Song Fei just started to build up momentum and flipped onto the neighboring balcony in a flash, distancing himself further away from the clothes saturated with the scent of Hualu Shui so that the scent of his flesh wafted over more distinctly: “I’m super delicious, with fatty or lean meat and pork belly. He doesn’t taste good at all. He’s all tendons that would get stuck in your teeth, come and eat me aaaaah—” vELziu

The comrades-in-arms on the same floor also reacted and kaka began to strip as well!

They stripped themselves bare and fought to be first, afraid to be last as they leapt onto the neighboring balcony—

“Come, eat me ah!”

“No, I’m more tasty!” lKyPhc

“All of them are the original flavor, I’m barbeque flavored!!!”

Little Landmine dazedly guarded a pile of clothes that hadn’t been changed for an unknown period of time. It’s said that when people are overly stimulated they may develop a sudden earth shattering change. If she didn’t like men anymore and switched to playing with lilies, then this gang of naked scourges dancing around would be the chief culprits!!!

Qi Yan maintained a level head from the beginning to the end, so he understood the ins and outs as soon as he heard Song Fei holler. When the other party started to strip, although he also really wanted to join the zombies and get a few eyefuls, he still scrambled up as swift as the wind and as quick as lightning in a second attempt at climbing!

With the verdant hills remaining, one doesn’t have to be afraid of having no meat to eat. F Qobp

Even though Song Fei was howling and twisting his body back and forth, he still followed Qi Yan with his eyes.

Only to see that as soon as the other climbed onto the second floor, the zombies on the ground had already reacted and leapt upwards again!

Qi Yan continued to climb to the third floor, but his movements were noticeably not as swift nor as smooth as they were before, his face clearly showed that he was enduring some sort of pain with difficulty.

He injured himself when he fell earlier! EQXtNT

Song Fei’s heart sank like a rock, he fretfully pulled at his hair in anxiety, when he was hit with a sudden flash of inspiration!

The wind blew at the sweat beading on Qi Yan’s forehead and a chill settled in, sweeping him into a trance.

His shoulder hurt like hell, but he couldn’t let go. Once he fell again, he really didn’t have the confidence to be able to barely escape with his life again.

No, maybe he didn’t have it in his grasp now either. The zombies behind him were getting closer and closer, instead of saying that he was escaping with his life, it was better to say that he was struggling in the clutches of death. 24eL19

Qi Yan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt some of his strength return to him.

He didn’t want to die, he spent his entire life studying so he hadn’t had the time to savor his lover’s warmth yet. . .

“You f*cking idiot, grab the rope ahhhhh!!!”

His lover’s gentle call brought Qi Yan’s mind back. He snapped his eyes open only to see a rope dangling in front. md 7Xd

A lifeline!

Qi Yan practically didn’t dally at all. First he grabbed the rope tightly with one hand then immediately loosened the other hand’s grip on the balcony railing and grasped the rope with that hand as well, handing all of his life and worth to this single strand of rope!

“You’re so f*cking heavy—”

His lover called to him gently once again. pKbLiq

Qi Yan raised his head and saw Song Fei’s face, but he also had the misconception that it wasn’t the familiar face from his memories.

Song Fei had no time to humor Qi Yan’s ever changing thoughts and almost even exhausted the strength from drinking milk in order to fish him up.

Eventually, Qi Yan ascended bit by bit with the retraction of the rope and was ultimately dragged onto the fourth story balcony by Song Fei.

The zombies reached their limit after climbing up two and a half floors and began to drop off with a pili pala. It was unknown if they had just exhausted their stamina or if they had limited flexibility. Each attempted to snatch Song Fei’s rope for themselves, but none were as successful as Cui Menghan, so they could only watch helplessly as Song Fei retrieved the rope. LiAaY7

Their comrades-in-arms at the other end all collapsed to the ground on their butts, finally able to let go of their fear.

Then they reacted sharply when a chill shot straight up from their bottoms to their heads and timidly cast their gazes at Lin Dilei.

Little Landmine was already numb to it all, she resignedly lifted her gaze: “If you all know that it’s cold, then quickly get over here and put it back on, unless you guys are waiting for me to send it over?!”

The comrades on that side scrambled to get dressed, while on this side, Song Fei wasn’t in so much of a rush. After all, he and Qi Yan already knew each other inside and out, what hasn’t already been seen ah. He leisurely packed the rope back into his backpack and then put his clothes back on piece by piece. JWomEI

“Thank you.” Qi Yan found that he had a bellyful of things to say, but when the words reached his lips, he could only say these two words.

Song Fei’s dressing motion paused briefly, then he replied in a low voice: “Welcome.”

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Qi Yan abruptly realized that he never seemed to have said these two words to Song Fei before, no, it should be that he might’ve never acknowledged anything the other had done as deserving of his gratitude before. He has always nitpicked at the other’s shortcomings, mistakes, or has only reminded and criticized the other, even going as far as trying to help the other correct things that were too unsightly.

He never imagined that there would be a day where he would need to accept the other’s help. 1LDYT5

“You are quite capable.” This is what Qi Yan really wanted to say. Yelling and shouting, stripping and jumping around, using a rope to save others. Looking back on it now, it seemed to be an effortless endeavor, but in that moment, not everyone could’ve thought of doing it. Even he himself was in such desperate straits that he had wanted to give up.

“I have a lot of capabilities, it’s only you who lacked the ability to see them.” It was rare to be the one doing the saving, so Song Fei held nothing back and did whatever would make him feel a rush of pleasure. But after putting all of his clothes back on, he started to worry about Qi Yan again and extended a hand to gently squeeze the other’s shoulder, “Did you fall on it really heavily? I noticed that you couldn’t muster up enough strength when you were climbing up.”

Qi Yan suddenly reached out to take his hand then rubbed the back of it with his thumb.

Song Fei was so startled that he forgot to snatch his hand back. 4sGUSK

Qi Yan raised his head and looked at him squarely: “Luo Geng mentioned before, a life-saving grace should be exchanged for a bodily pledge.”

Song Fei’s body jolted as he frantically forcibly yanked his hand out: “I don’t want it.”

Qi Yan was a little anxious: “What exactly do you want me to do?”

Song Fei was about to reply when he heard a banging sound from the window by his ear— pa! cvjA78

The sound originated from the other side of the window. Both of them jumped in fright and turned their heads simultaneously to look!

In the window lattice close at hand, they caught a glimpse of a face that was distorted as a result of being stuck too close to the glass!

Song Fei and Qi Yan unanimously drew their weapons and stood at the ready!

Pa! GiuYOQ

It was another slap on the window!

The face that was previously stuck close to the glass gradually retreated, revealing the original facial features and the window was promptly opened. A faint almost hallucinatory voice passed through the gap—

“Song Fei. . .”

Wang Qingyuan?!” Song Fei widened his eyes immediately and then rapidly leapt into the room to hug the other in a full embrace, “It’s great that you’re still alive!!!” qeLzOs

Wang Qingyuan was a little weak, but he still raised his hand slightly and patted him on the back.

Qi Yan gave him a look, didn’t say a word and jumped in after him. Then he found the light switch and pressed it, lighting up the entire room.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

This was a breakroom. The main doors were tightly closed, there were no zombies in sight, and other than Wang Qingyuan, there was only an even weaker student leaning against a corner.

Qi Yan walked over and cautiously crouched down to check on him. u4VFg6

That student feebly raised his head and in the next second suddenly gathered a trace of energy: “Qi Yan?”

Qi Yan was stunned. He searched rapidly through his mind and finally matched a name to the person: “Li Jingyu?”

Li Jingyu gave a practically inaudible “en”.

Although they had only had a brief encounter after the 10-km race at the medaling ceremony during the sports meet where the ceremony was more important than the details, but Li Jingyu still firmly kept his opponent in his memories. 7S0rOp

Qi Yan looked over at the two who were still in a tight embracing and suddenly reached out to pull Li Jingyu into his arms as well: “It’s great that you’re still alive!!!”

“. . .” Li Jingyu decided to look back in the long flow of memories to see if he had somehow missed some subtle emotions that could be understood but not voiced back then.

Qi Yan on the other hand just seems to be getting dumber and dumber. He has negative emotional intelligence. And congrats to our one true flower in this crew for the getting-scarred-for-life acheivement! But is it bad that I can imagine her thriving as a lily and charming all of the girls?

Sorry for the delay and again, self-edited so you, my dear readers, are my second sets of eyes for any mistakes! Thank you!

  1. Phew lucky Song Fei manages to save Qi Yan.

    One of Song Fei’s roommates is still alive, I guess the others must have turned into zombines

    Thanks for the chapter
