Chapter 25: 25th

[The previous chapter has been modified, and the plot and important foreshadowing have been added. Friendship is recommended to review again after entering the library from An'an]
"Airplane, is it an airplane, I heard the voice of the airplane !!"
The quiet library boiled instantly.
It was indeed a plane. Shen Shi'an listened for a while, it should be three.
The crowd was ecstatic, like the blind who suddenly restored their vision, and quickly joined forces to move the bookshelf in that direction from a gap in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked out greedily through the thick glass of dust.
The survivor tied to the chair could not move, and hurriedly asked, "How about it, is it an airplane, is anyone here to save us?"
"It's a plane. There are three in total. It flew over the pedestrian street. It still looks like a military plane," the responder was so excited that his voice was shaking. "Rescue is here, the rescue of the country is here!"
"Fly away from the pedestrian street? Where are they going, why don't they stop? When can we come to save us?"
"Don't worry, the city of h is so big, it is certainly not only us who have survived. It is also normal for rescue teams to go to other places to search and rescue. As long as the country sends troops, we can find us here sooner or later."
"Great, we have been saved, we are all saved!"
The survivors almost wept, hugged, prayed, cheered and laughed, and the library was filled with hope and great joy for survival.
Shen Xun raised his hand and touched "Shi An?"
Shen Shi'an held the child's hand and let go of the tightly frowned brows. "I'm fine."
He didn't join the cheering crowd because he was not as optimistic as everyone else.
The emergence of the rescue team was unexpected, and according to the direction of the helicopter, the destination can almost be determined to be the City Medical University. According to the current situation, helicopters are fast and safe, which is the best tool for emergency rescue, but it also means that the carrying capacity is extremely limited. This shows that his original guess was correct. The first wave of rescue will only focus on high-end scientific research personnel and medical staff like Professor Li, and others can only wait for the next wave.
But even if the next wave of rescue arrives, will the city library where everyone is now really a rescue target?
On the square outside the library, the crashed passenger plane was about to have a small explosion from time to time due to the fuel tank or the engine. The deafening sound of explosions was soaring into the sky, and it is estimated that most of the urban areas can be heard. Don't need to see it for yourself, Shen Shi'an can also imagine how many zombies were gathered around the library at this time, and how many zombies were attracted by the fire and explosion.
For the survivors of all other locations in city h, they are the best targets to attract zombies near the sound of the explosion.
The more zombies gathered here, the fewer zombies will be in other places, and the lower the difficulty of rescue. If he is a decision maker, in such a national or even global disaster, in the rescue operation that must consider the least cost in exchange for the most survivors, the city library, and everyone in the city library, can only be abandoned. child.
No rescue will come here at all.
Shen Shi'an's eyes crossed from the cheering crowd's faces, and unexpectedly met a pair of equally diligent and thoughtful eyes.
The man in glasses smiled gently at him. Shen Shi'an did not have any expression on his face, his eyes retreated.
Just a few minutes after the survivors in the city library heard the sound of the plane, the small water auditorium of the Medical University was also boiling with sudden hope.
The small water hall at this time has changed a lot compared to the time when Shen Shi'an escorted Professor Li. The recording that he asked Professor Li to record and placed on the stele by Fan Guoping not only gave the survivors safe shelter information, but also attracted the zombies around the teaching building to the stele. The students hiding in various classrooms regained their hopes due to Professor Li's voice, regaining their calmness and confidence, and when they found that the zombies were all gathered in one place, most of them chose to escape from other directions and rushed to the water hall and Professor Li and others met.
Coupled with Fan Guoping's rescue, the number of survivors in the entire auditorium has reached more than 2,000.
It is not easy for more than two thousand people to live together on the island of Huxin and cannot go anywhere. Because the space in the small auditorium is limited, hundreds of people have to lay a floor in the hallway, steps, and open space outside the auditorium. Fortunately, the temperature is not low at this time, otherwise sleeping alone will become a big problem.
The problem of drinking water is easy to solve. There is tap water in the auditorium. Even if the number of people doubles, it can be supplied and is more than enough. However, the problem of food is not so easy.
The 78 students who first arrived in the auditorium not only harvested the specialty snacks prepared for the expert group, but also collected a large number of materials from the supermarket under the leadership of Wan Feng, but who would like to share these things with the latecomers for free? No one knows when the rescue team will come. It ’s too risky to go outside to search for supplies, and food is the hope of survival. Even they have to save themselves. Who can give up hope to others?
The quarrel over food has been renewed, and even Professor Li's mediation has not helped, and it has continued to intensify over time. But no matter how big the conflict between the students is, how arrogant and tears are the same at the moment you hear the roar of the propeller rotating at high speed.
"Rescue is here! Rescue is here! We are saved!"
Three helicopters were parked on the playground with a relatively small number of zombies. Dozens of heavily armed rescuers jumped out of the cabin one after another and began to carry out a planned search and rescue of the entire campus, especially the research laboratory on the campus. .
It didn't take long for them to find that the small water hall is the largest gathering of survivors in the medical university, and because of the superior location and security of the small hall, they chose to use it as a temporary base in search and rescue operations.
The entire search and rescue operation lasted about six hours, and at this time the number of people on Huxin Island had surged to more than 5,000.
Like everyone else, Lu Xiuyuan was rejoicing because of the arrival of rescuers, but as more and more people flooded into the island of Huxin, an anxiety rose from the bottom of his heart, so the rescue team could take all go?
This anxiety grew stronger and stronger, and finally turned into an uncontrollable anxiety. He bit his thumb and paced around the corner, suddenly trying to go to the bathroom.
There are too many people on the lake island, so when the toilets are almost vacant, there is a lingering odor and urinary odor lingering inside and outside, and after the city's power-off ventilation device stops working, this This situation became more and more serious, there was no courage to walk in without holding your breath.
However, in addition to the public toilets on the first and second floors, there is actually a toilet in the domed loft on the top floor, which is located inside the grocery room. The location is very hidden. Stumbled upon the venue.
After solving the physiological problems in the bathroom that only he knew for a while, Lu Xiuyuan washed his hands and was preparing to go out, and heard someone talking outside. He walked lightly to the door and pulled the door open a crack.
There are three people standing in front of the glass window of the attic, two of them are the captain of the rescue team, the other is the vice president of the medical university, and a well-known scholar who has considerable achievements in the medical field. National Research Lab. An expert group headed by the Medical University before the virus outbreak, the vice-principal was one of the main leaders.
"... the number of survivors in the school was much more unexpected than we expected," said the slightly taller captain. "We have three helicopters in total, limited to load capacity. This time, we will only take away all doctors and scientific research. personnel."
The vice-principal said, "What about the remaining thousands of students?"
Another captain said, "There are materials on the helicopter, and we will drop them on Huxin Island before leaving. It should be enough for them to persist in the next wave of rescue."
The deputy principal was silent for a while, "So what do I need to do?"
"Check the number of eligible survivors. We will start the journey in about twenty minutes. Do not bring anything except documents that are helpful for virus research. The laboratory and various professional equipment have been prepared at the base." The tall captain paused and said, "In addition, see if there is a sophomore named Shen Shian among the survivors. If he is still alive, he will go with us."
Lu Xiuyuan hiding behind the door gritted his teeth and trembled, sure enough, as he expected! The rescue team didn't plan to control their lives, they just wanted to take the scientific researchers away! Prepared materials for them to wait for the next rescue. It sounds good, who knows when the next rescue will arrive! There are only three helicopters. How can the loaded goods be distributed to thousands of people!
If all students can only die here and wait, why can Shen Shi'an take up a rescue place like the professors? Is it because his family has money, his life is more precious than the lives of others!
Unspeakable anger mixed with deep-seated jealousy biting Lu Xiuyuan's heart, why, why! Why is he not me! He already has a bodyguard escorted home, isn't it enough!
Lu Xiuyuan's almost stupid expression suddenly froze, and a certain thought struck him like lightning:
Shen Shi'an had already returned home, and the vice-principal could not find him in the survivors of Huxin Island. The rescue team, I am afraid, does not know what Shen Shian looks like.
Anger and jealousy quickly faded away, and what surged in an instant was a mixture of fear and excitement.
He immediately took off the schoolbag, and there were still a few bags of biscuits and bread in the schoolbag. This was the rest of his calculations. In order to prevent others from stinging, he carried his body no matter what he did. And besides food and textbooks, there are a bunch of things in the schoolbag—
Student card.
The morning before the virus broke out, he collected his student ID from his classmates before the morning meeting.
The heart beats like a cymbal, fast and heavy. He trembles and quickly finds the one he wants from a pile of student ID cards, carefully tears off his photo, and dries his mouth tightly against the water Go up.
The rescue team leader and the vice-principal were preparing to leave after discussing the details of the evacuation. A squeak, a humble wooden door in the corner was suddenly pushed open, and a young man with a straight-bodied figure came out from the inside, Meifeng Slightly wrinkled, seems a little confused. "Sorry, I accidentally heard a little conversation. What did you ask Shen Shi'an for?"
The taller rescue team captain squinted his eyes and looked up and down "Do you know Shen Shi'an?"
The young man came out of the door with some precautions on his face, but nodded his head. "I am Shen Shi'an." After that, he took out a student ID from his pants pocket and handed it over. "The teacher notified the students to be admitted on the day of the virus outbreak." The certificate said that it was necessary to update the student's registration information in the hospital. As a result, the zombies appeared before they were turned in. "
The captain took the student ID, his face was a little rugged, and there was no expression.
Lu Xiuyuan stood about one meter opposite him, his expression was still indifferent and indifferent, it seemed that he did not care what decision the other party would make because of his identity. But only he knew how tightly the sweaty palms had been stuck in the uniform pockets of the school uniform, so as to ensure that he was not exposed to any abnormalities.
He chose to let go in this way and fight for any possibility of living for himself, so no matter what the end result is, he will never regret it. But the inner fear and hustle were like stormy seas, and he could be completely swallowed up at any time.
What if the Vice-Chancellor has seen Shen Shi'an and knows what he looks like? What if the captain sees a strange suspicion of his identity? What if the photo doesn't stick?
But he was lucky. The photo did not fall, the captain of the rescue team did not doubt it, and the deputy principal did not remember what Shen Shian looked like.
The team leader put the student ID card together at his fingertips and asked the vice principal,
On April 3, will the school hand in the student ID card?

The vice-principal thought about it. "It seems that this is indeed the case. Students in clinical colleges should choose the research direction after graduation in the second semester. The school needs to count voluntary information so as to develop a special cultivation plan for some top students."
The captain nodded and returned the student ID to Lu Xiuyuan. "Take off in 20 minutes. You will go with us."
It's done.
Walking behind the three, Lu Xiuyuan passed a quick and warm smile in his eyes.
