The night before the CET-4 exam, there was suddenly an internet outage at the dormitories. Song Fei had been scrolling through edits on a certain site with relish. In order to avoid disturbing his two tongxue, Wang and Ren, who were hard at work, he was wearing his headset, so he hadn’t detected it at first. It wasn’t until the video finished playing, when he went to click on a new one and it wouldn’t load, that he felt something was off. When he looked at the lower right corner of his laptop, sure enough, an exclamation mark had appeared over the network connection status.
The instability of the campus network was like the elective course instructors taking attendance; you knew of its existence, only, you didn’t know when it would strike. But, the frequency of the former was high, the inflicted damage varying from person to person, while the frequency of the latter was hard to say, but the inflicted damage was absolutely that of an indiscriminate Antiaris toxicaria.
Song Fei was already numb to this, and took off his headset in resignation. As expected, there was a wave of cursing from the outside corridor.
“Internet’s down again?” Xiang Yang, who had just finished up his date four stops away, pushed open the door and walked in.
Song Fei shrugged, “Of course, if it didn’t glitch up, it wouldn’t be the campus network.”
“Be happy,” Xiang Yang said as he walked to the bottom of his loft bed, taking off his coat as he said, “Ours disconnects for an hour or two at most. My wife said that theirs has been down for two days, and still hasn’t come back yet.”
Song Fei grimaced, expressing infinite sympathy for the Institute of Foreign Languages girls, “Fair enough, I’m at peace again.”
Without the internet, Song Fei could only get in bed with his phone and use his data. Who knew if it was because the god of learning in the sky couldn’t put up with his carefree attitude any longer, but once it turned 9 P.M., his phone lost signal all of a sudden. Forget his 234g data, even his phone service had turned into an X.
“Hey, do your phones have a signal? ” Song Fei really didn’t want to break the quiet and serene learning environment in the dormitory, but alas, the god of learning had really gone too far, ah!
Xiang Yang, who’d just pulled out his practice questions and evidently hadn’t entered study mode yet, was the first to put down his pencil, fish out his phone, and quickly give feedback, “Nope.”
Wang Qingyuan also took the time to take a look, “No.”
Ren Zhe pompously got up and said, “It’s exactly for times like these that you need a dual SIM phone. You can’t put all your eggs in one basket…”
His voice stopped abruptly.
Song Fei understood at a glance, “Both eggs are cracked?”
Ren Zhe didn’t want to answer this egg-aching question.
Song Fei wasn’t in the mood to gloat. Both China Unicom and China Mobile had no service, this was forcing people to their deaths, ah. He had no words as he looked up at the ceiling, feeling as though the world had lost its color.
Until lights out, the connection was never restored on their phones. Song Fei’s words were incisive, this was absolutely the school’s conspiracy, afraid that we’d cheat on the CET-4 and CET-6! Ren Zhe said no way, how much blood, sweat, and tears would they have to pour into it, ah? Blocking reception the night before, and school-wide at that? The result was, when they got up the next morning, their area was still an entire dead zone, and he had to believe it even if he didn’t want to.
“This is flower of the motherland abuse!” Song Fei was packed up and neatly dressed, still feeling indignant.
“The flowers of the motherland need sunlight and rain, not video edits and barrage screens,” Wang Qingyuan mercilessly shot back as he packed his bag, then tacked on another sentence at the end, “Don’t forget your ID card and exam admission ticket.”
“I know, la.” Although his hopes of passing were slim, with so many multiple-choice questions, who knew if maybe a soul would possess him and guess everything right. For this sliver of hope, he wouldn’t surrender before even entering the examination site.
He, Song Fei, was an optimistic revolutionary soldier!
Xiang Yang and Ren Zhe saw their roommate’s face suddenly bloom with the dazzling light of “victory is before our very eyes”, and knew that he’d begun to hypnotize himself again. This roommate was no good at studying, no good at exercising, and no good at picking up girls, but had good mental quality— self-confidence abundant, top-notch.
The four people set out together.
Song Fei was going to the examination site, while the three people who weren’t taking their exams until that afternoon were headed straight for the library, to add the finishing touches to their spears.
Soon, these comrades parted ways. At present, there was still twenty-five minutes before the exam began. A majority of the students who were taking part in this examination had already entered the examination site ahead of time. In addition, all classes were suspended in light of the CET-4 and CET-6 exams, so there weren’t many students along the way besides the occasional few who had woken up late and were scrambling to the examination site, forming a sharp contrast to Song Fei’s insouciance.
Song Fei’s examination site was in the Zhiyuan building, which, in fact, was the education building where they normally attended classes. Only, when they had still been on the old campus, these buildings had simply been named education buildings #1, #2, and #3, accordingly. Once they arrived on the new campus with its vast space, the new generation of school leaders slapped their heads, no, they needed some nice-sounding names, ah. Thus, the Zhiyuan building, Gewu, building and Wenhua building, among others, were popped out one after the other.
A tree-lined avenue led to the education building area. In mid-December, the leaves had almost all been shed, leaving only stout trunks and bare branches behind. A cold wind blew past, and Song Fei drew his neck back a little and pulled his zipper up a bit higher again. Today, he was wearing a blue and white fleece letterman jacket, black sweatpants, and sneakers as well. At a glance, he actually looked like a sunny and healthy young man.
But he knew he wasn’t.
The ones over there actually were, ah… Song Fei looked towards the sports complex in the distance. Although he couldn’t see clearly, the wind had already carried over the sounds of a basketball bouncing off the ground and the joyous laughter of his schoolmates.
Song Fei was full of envy and yearning for these athletes, and didn’t notice that in front of him, a person was walking in his direction, so they just so happened to run right into each other. Song Fei was startled, and staggered a few steps back before he caught his footing. He hadn’t expected that the person he ran into would directly fall backwards onto the ground.
“Are you okay?” Song Fei rushed forward to help him up. Speaking of, the most secure place to help people up was on university campuses, filled with the futures of the motherland imbued with vigor and vitality. No one would lay on the ground and groan to blackmail you. There were also quite a number of people in such excellent physical condition that they didn’t even need you to help them up, and could directly kip-up.
The student he’d run into was just wearing an ordinary sweater and a pair of jeans, but they were dirty all over, as though he’d just returned from a round of rolling in the dirt. It wasn’t until Song Fei helped him up, that he realized it was actually a familiar face. “Xu Qiulei?”
Xu Qiulei was a classmate from their Department of History. Because he lived in the dormitory opposite 440, they were very familiar with each other.
“Aren’t you going to take the exam?” Seeing that the other was watching him vacantly and was slow to respond, Song Fei asked once again. If he’d remembered correctly, this fellow hadn’t passed the CET-4 either. Recently, he’d even been clamoring about how he’d already verified with their fourth-year seniors that not giving out degree certificates to anyone who couldn’t pass the CET-4 was just a rumor, and how the school was heartlessly deceiving and intimidating its students.

An awkward and strange silence spread between the two people. Song Fei subconsciously took a step back, then attempted to make a joke, “Even wearing black contact lenses, pretty trendy, ha.”
Xu Qiulei still had on that expression. No, it should be said that he had no expression at all, and no anger could be seen on his entire face, only dullness and stiffness.
Song Fei suddenly became frightened. He wanted to find a way to end this one-sided conversation, like “I still have an exam, so I won’t stick around any longer”. However, before he could speak up, the other suddenly started walking straight towards him.
Song Fei was given a start, and after taking a few steps back, he abruptly dodged to one side. Xu Qiulei was still walking forward, his steps not hesitating for a single moment, as if Song Fei didn’t exist at all. But Song Fei was certain, if he hadn’t moved out of the way, then they would’ve run right into each other again.
Xu Qiulei hadn’t registered his presence.
Song Fei wasn’t sure why he just felt certain of this, even though there was seemingly no rhyme or reason for such a conclusion.
With this delay, there were only twenty minutes left before the exam would start. Song Fei didn’t have the spare time to study Xu-tongxue’s rigid back, and sped up his pace walking to the Zhiyuan building.
Qi Yan had been blown by the wind under the big tree near the periphery of the Zhiyuan building for forty minutes before he saw a figure in blue and white. He’d practically already welcomed almost all of the examinees in with a smile.
Song Fei was 1.76 meters tall. He couldn’t be considered short, but he always liked to glance around as he walked, both hands in his pockets, never standing upright, so no matter how you looked at him, he had nothing to do with the two words “tall” or “straight”. Every time Qi Yan watched him walk, he had the urge to tie a wooden board to his back.
Song Fei had originally gone straight for the gates of the education building without taking a look at either side at all. But after taking two steps, he felt that something was off. As soon as he looked back, sure enough, there was a familiar person standing under the tree, his strange manner of quietly sending him off without saying a word not much better than that of Xu Qiulei. After being scared twice in one morning, there wasn’t anyone who’d be in a good mood. “What’re you doing here?”
This guy’s passing score for the CET-4 last semester could turn its nose up at the entirety of the Department of Life Sciences. It wasn’t as though he’d register once more just to go for a full score, ba.
Qi Yan looked at how little time was left somewhat helplessly, “Quickly go in, ba, jiayou on the exam.”
Song Fei was a little dumbfounded. For a moment, he wasn’t sure whether this person had made a special trip over just to wait for him or if he’d just sent off his new sweetheart and had only unfortunately encountered him by chance, “Just this?”
Qi Yan paused a bit, then added, “I’ll treat you to a meal after the exam.”
Song Fei squinted at him, “Celebrating me not passing again?”
Qi Yan endured and endured some more, then decided that before the big exam, although this guy didn’t look like he’d be able to pass at a glance, he still didn’t want to affect what pitiful little enthusiasm the other even had left for the exam. So, he swallowed his cold words, and maintained his smile, “There’s something I want to tell you.”
Song Fei raised an eyebrow suspiciously. No matter how he thought about it, he didn’t think that this person would have anything good to share with him.
Song-tongxue very reluctantly entered the building with his stomach full of doubts. Watching until his figure had completely disappeared, at last, Qi Yan no longer felt as tense. His gaze softened as his lips curved upwards, his heart like several days of haze that had finally ushered in a strong wind that dispelled the clouds and welcomed the sun, a clear sky with fresh air.
He took out his phone. Still no signal. Having no signal brought about a lot of inconveniences. But, for Qi Yan, it was an excellent reason to come here and lie in wait for a rabbit. If he’d just wanted to invite him for a meal, then just giving him a call was enough, why’d he have to personally come here? Because his phone had no signal, ah. While Qi Yan was waiting, he’d already rehearsed these kinds of dialogues inside his head countless times. But, as it turned out, Song Fei actually hadn’t even asked at all. He didn’t think that Song Fei would make the deduction himself. It wasn’t that this deduction was anything difficult, but rather, Song Fei had never been the type who liked using his brain, too lazy to think about anything he could just directly ask about.
So, what exactly was it that had made him not even ask a single word, as per the natural progression of things?
Qi Yan, who was on his way to the library to kill some time, thought about it the entire way there, because that wasn’t the only thing that’d been abnormal. Song Fei’s expression had also been a bit strange when he’d arrived. At the time, time had been tight, so he hadn’t taken the time to ask. When they had lunch together, he had to be sure to ask him about it then. When Qi Yan swiped his card to go into the library, he was still thinking about this.
By the time Song Fei walked into the examination hall, all of his companions were already seated, including the exam proctor. The entire classroom was filled with a kind of tense silence like everyone was waiting with bated breath. Song Fei smiled at the exam proctor, while this proctor returned his smile with—
“Hurry and take a seat!”
Song Fei retracted his head dejectedly, and rushed towards the only empty seat.
Not long after he took his seat, the instructor began to hand out the exam papers and answer sheets. Soon, there was only the xixisusu of pencils rubbing against paper left in the classroom.
An entire sheet filled with letters. Song Fei recognized all of them, but when spelled into words, the only familiar ones left were “is”, “are”, “yes”, “no” and “abcd”. After scratching his head and making up an essay, then agonizingly enduring through the listening comprehension section, Song Fei finally switched on berserk mode, and finished the other questions under two minutes. Then, he didn’t know what else to do, and could only pretend to very seriously look down at his exam paper as a sense of loneliness from being peerless in the jianghu, but unable to bear the chill at such great heights inexplicably arose within him.
The most inhumane thing about the CET-4 and CET-6 exams was that they didn’t allow students to hand their papers in early, making it so that speed demons like Song Fei had nothing left to live for. During the endless wait, they could only prop their heads up against their arms, study the blackboard, inspect the ceiling, and look out the window…
Yi?
Song Fei blinked his eyes vigorously, suspecting that his eyes were playing tricks on him. He’d actually seen a classmate pass by the window. Logically, those who weren’t examinees couldn’t even enter the building at all, but those who were examinees couldn’t hand in their papers early and leave the examination site…
While he was imagining all sorts of things, the student who’d passed by the window just now had already arrived at the doorway of the classroom. Song Fei was sitting on the second row diagonally opposite the classroom door. Once he lifted his gaze, he could see very clearly outside the door. This time, he could be sure that there wasn’t anything wrong with his eyesight, and there really was a student, and a student glaringly covered in blood at that!
The exam proctor thought at first that someone had barged into the examination site to make trouble, but after clearly seeing the appearance of the visitor, gave an alarmed cry, then hurried over and asked with deep concern, “Tongxue, what happened to you?”
The visitor’s face was already badly mutilated, and his lips seemed to move a little, but no sound came out. Suddenly, he fell to the ground with a bang.
The exam proctor had already been scared silly, and the entire classroom full of examinees was also dumbfounded.
Suddenly, outside the classroom, there came the sounds of disorderly footsteps interspersed with shrieking near and far.
In the blink of an eye, crazed students madly rushed past their classroom door like a frightened herd of animals!
Before any of them could recover, chasing after this crowd were the “students”— if they could even still be called that, who had finally revealed themselves. It could be seen that they had dull expressions and ghastly pale complexions, while several of their faces were still smeared with what could’ve been their own or someone else’s blood! A majority of them went after the fleeing students in front of them, but a few of them looked their way when they passed by the door of the classroom, and suddenly halted in place!
Song Fei’s breath caught, and he watched as these three “students” shifted their course and walked in!
The exam proctor was squatting right at the door next to the injured student who’d collapsed, and was the closest when, in a flash, the proctor was knocked over by these three “students”!
No, not knocked over, it was essentially attacking… and biting?!
Shots they’d only seen before in horror movies were now being reenacted live in front of them. The impact of the actual scene was far more astonishing than that of the screen!!!
Song Fei already couldn’t remember how he’d managed to run out of the classroom, and only knew that everyone had been running away. The Zhiyuan building was one of the few education buildings in the school without an elevator, its structure constructed like a courtyard, the corridors endlessly long and winding, with a total of six floors that required taking the stairs to go up or down. Song Fei’s examination room was on the third floor. When their entire class ran out, perhaps it was subconsciously driven, but they didn’t choose the direction the students had been chased in before, but ran to the staircase in the opposite direction!
The process of going downstairs went without a hitch, because this staircase was relatively off to the side, so besides them, no one else was there. Even so, Song Fei had still nearly been crowded out several times, so by the time they made it to the first floor, he’d already ended up at the back of the group.
But it was also lucky for him, that he’d ended up at the back.
The entire corridor was filled with ferocious “students”. There were only twenty or so people in this group from their classroom, and the first seven or eight who’d led the pack and rushed down first were already under attack. Some students were still trying to rush down, and ended up walking right into a death trap. The terrified faces of students being assaulted were everywhere in sight, and this situation, this scene, was just like the end of the world.
Song Fei was standing at the top of the stairs. For a moment, he was in a bit of a trance, and couldn’t tell whether this was a dream or reality.
“Ahhh—”
Suddenly, through his ears came the sound of a heart-rending shriek, close at hand! Song Fei was so frightened that his entire body shook. Shivering as he turned his head, he saw that in a location no more than two meters away, a “student” had climbed on top of another student, and actually bit a piece of flesh off his face!
From the chaos in the beginning until now, this was the first time Song Fei had been able to unequivocally see what had happened this clearly. He only felt a sour taste at the back of his throat, and tried to force it back down, but his gaze was still fixed in that direction like he was bewitched, and he couldn’t shift it away no matter what.
The student whose face had been chewed off already wasn’t stirring in the slightest, while the “student” on top seemed to have lost interest in “something” that was no longer moving, and raised its bluish-gray-hued face that was completely covered with blood, looked around, and soon caught sight of Song Fei.
Their eyes met.
Song Fei couldn’t hold it back anymore, and retched before throwing up. He hadn’t eaten this morning, so the only thing he expelled was some stomach acid.
Perhaps the sound of him vomiting had thoroughly piqued the interest of the other party, but this “student” stood up, paused for a moment, then started walking straight to Song Fei.
Song Fei saw the other getting closer, but his feet felt as though they were filled with lead, and wouldn’t move at all. His intuition told him that he had to escape, but his reason told him that this must be a dream, and everything would be fine after he woke up.
Suddenly, Song Fei’s eyes widened in horror.
Behind the “student” coming towards him, the one who’d just been bitten was also standing up unsteadily!
That person— if you could still call him a person, had a face that was already badly mangled, while the flesh on the right side of his face was hanging there by a thread. Only his pair of eyes were intact, but there was nothing left in his hollow gaze, no happiness, anger, sorrow, or joy, and no suffering or pain.
No, this wasn’t a person.
Perhaps, this also wasn’t a dream?
Song Fei was already completely disoriented, and he only knew that a monstrous student was approaching him, and he needed to escape, even if this was only a dream!
This “student” was already right in front of him, not allowing Song Fei to think any longer. He practically doubled back on reflex, running upstairs! He didn’t know what was up ahead, but back there, on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors, there had to be many normal instructors and students here for the exam. That place he wanted to escape from not long ago, had now become the place that gave him the greatest sense of security!
He ran to the sixth floor in one breath. Song Fei wasn’t sure how far he’d left that “student” behind, but at least it was temporarily out of sight. Just as he’d thought, the sixth floor was completely peaceful, and the world seemed to have returned to normal.
But Song Fei knew that this was only temporary, and the faint smell of blood had already begun to permeate through the cold air!
He rushed to the classroom closest to the stairway, clearly out of breath, yet his words still incredibly coherent, while his tone of voice was even sharper because of panic, “Something happened downstairs! It’s a mess!!!”
The exam proctor was startled, but promptly snapped at Song Fei to chase him away, “We’re testing, we’re testing! Which department are you from! Get out!”
“Something’s really happened, I’m not messing with you!!!” Song Fei shouted agitatedly, looking like he was about to make a move.
The students in the middle of taking their exams were already very angry from being disrupted. Seeing that the perpetrator was still this unbridled, they exploded at once, and seven or eight of them stood up with the xilihuala sounds of clattering seats—
“F*ck!”
“What the f*ck are you doing!”
“What the hell!”
Song Fei was only too eager right now to be completely surrounded, so he marched right into the classroom.
They were all young and full of vigor, so having a sense of justice was to be expected, but no one was skilled at fighting. But seeing the “offender” rush in, practically begging for a beating, the seven or eight young fellows who’d stood up almost couldn’t cope with this kind of enthusiasm.
The girl sitting in the first row suddenly screeched!
Everyone looked over at the sound, just to see that the female teacher who’d just been severely criticizing Song Fei had already been pushed to the floor at some point. At the moment, there were two more people on top of her. And if they hadn’t seen incorrectly, those two were currently fighting to munch on an arm, while the female teacher beneath them was convulsing nonstop, and blood was pouring out from the spot on her shoulder where her arm used to be.
No one was sure why the female teacher hadn’t screamed.
Just like no one was sure what kind of monster was currently chomping on her arm.
“Ahhhhhhh—”
Who knew which boy had cried out, but the classroom was instantly plunged into a deep sea of panic.
The students scrambled to run out, and Song Fei was almost pushed over, staggering quite a few steps before he was barely able to catch up.
There was already a great commotion in the sixth floor corridor, and just as before, everyone was running to the stairway. This time, Song Fei didn’t run in the opposite direction, but squeezed himself into the immense flow of people!
As the saying went, there was strength in numbers. The force of an army fleeing in the hundreds was far greater than that of twenty or so individuals. They broke through all obstacles in one go, and ran outside the Zhiyuan building!
Song Fei was pushed along as he ran, and had no time to see how many of the students running in front had become dishes on the menu for these monsters. Once he saw the light of day again, it was like being the survivor of a catastrophe!
However, outside the education building, wails shook the very heavens, as the dead, the insane, and the living dead filled the entire avenue!
Besides the army from the Zhiyuan building that Song Fei had followed, there were also other students running out from the other education buildings. After a time, the students who’d fled from all directions had merged together into a massive tidal wave as they all fled towards the residential area with tacit understanding. No one knew whose idea it was, but anyway, by the time Song Fei had run outside, the troops were fleeing to the residential area. Even the students who’d joined later on, and had originally intended to run in a different direction, also instinctively followed the masses.
“What the f*ck is going on ah?!”
“Who the hell knows!!!”
“Zombies!!! Without a doubt!!!”
“F*ck off!!! Is it the time for jokes right now!!!”
“Am I dreaming ahhh!!!”
“You can let them take a bite to see if it hurts or not!!!”
“…”
The blue sky, the white clouds, the large number of students advancing ahead, the army of zombies in hot pursuit, painted a magnificent, vibrant picture.
Song Fei looked back as he ran. He’d already fallen to the back of the group, and he’d never regretted his past otaku lifestyle as much as he did right now. Even if he’d gone to exercise with Qi Yan just one more time, it wouldn’t have been nearly as bad as this!
The “students” couldn’t run as fast as their large group, and had already been left behind, but there was just one whose running speed was actually comparable to that of the large group, and was already getting closer and closer to Song Fei, five meters, three meters, two meters!
Song Fei ran as hard as he could, but just couldn’t increase the distance between them! Seeing the other stretch out its arm, its hand almost touching his back, Song Fei’s heart leapt to his throat!
Suddenly, a foot came flying from the side and fiercely kicked this “student” to the ground. Not stopping even after kicking it down, that person stomped on this “student” more than ten times in a row, “Die, die, die!!!”
Sometimes, when a person’s fear had reached its limits, fury would take its place.
Song Fei was almost scared to death. The “students” that gnawed on people were frightening, but this student who didn’t gnaw on people wasn’t that much better ah!
Seeing that the “student” on the ground was about to get up, while the “students” behind them were about to catch up, Song Fei hurriedly grabbed this actual student, “Don’t f*cking waste any more time!”
This person gave him a look, obviously still filled with resentment, but the “students” behind them were surging forward like a tide, so he gritted his teeth, and ran!
Song Fei also sped up once again!
He hadn’t even taken two steps, when this violent student full of unwillingness in his heart really couldn’t take it anymore, and hollered at the sky, “F*ck you, after studying day and night for three months ahhhhh, couldn’t you have at least let me hand in my paper!!!!!!!!!!”
Uh, sometimes, when a person’s anger had reached its limits, fear would be forgotten.

Okay, I’m already loving this novel. I don’t really like zombie stuff, but for some reason always find myself reading zombie apocalypse novels akdbdkzbxjx. Thank you so much for the hard work with the translation. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
so happy to hear you’re enjoying this one! what i like about it is the focus on characterization & setting + emphasis on camaraderie during dark zombie apocalypse times. im def 100% there for zombie annihilation stories or angsty doom & gloom, but i like how this one’s a bit special in that it’s strangely realistic and relatable. also the sarcastic commentary makes me laugh haha
[Qi Yan paused a bit, then added, “I’ll treat you to a meal after the exam.”]
QI YAN IS WAITING FOR HIM AT THE CANTEEN!!!!!!! QAQ

If that was me I would’ve complained if knew this would happen maybe I shouldn’t have studied my ass until 3 am and would’ve spent my whole night sleeping instead.
Thank you for the chapter 💕
Bruh, even if I don’t believe in zombies I would fucking go out once I see someone biting people or killing people I wouldn’t looking at them. As if you looking at them wouldn’t let them kill or bite you 🙄🙄🙄
Just like how I hate people who screams at everything and pushing or grabbing someone else. I’m easily irritated and doesn’t know how to express anger or shouting expression. Maybe I hate them because they know how to shout? 🙄
I’m laughing 😭🤣 that violent student is so me 😂 I’d beat up these zombies asses, they didn’t let me graduate after making me sleepless 🤨😠
