Chapter 19 Cause of Death

Angela and Suwan looked at each other in panic. The person in charge was already dead, so they could only do what Instructor Will said. Angela nodded immediately: "Yes, he wanted to attack us after turning into a zombie, and we were doing it to protect ourselves," Angela said. In order to make the body of the person in charge more consistent with the lie, she took out a dagger and cut a deep and irregular wound on the person in charge's arm to disguise it as a zombie bite wound.

Instructor Will glanced at the phone on the table and asked Suwan and Angela, "Have you called home?"

Suwan shook his head, so Instructor Will said, "Then fight. The zombie issue won't be hidden for long. It will be announced to the public soon. It's right to tell your family to take precautions."

Suwan nodded vigorously and hurriedly called again. This time when the call was connected, Suwan loudly explained the situation to her parents on the other end of the phone, asking them to take the student medal she received when she was admitted to Belster College to the nearby military district to ask for asylum. As students of Belster College, they would all serve in the military and political circles in the future, and her identity could bring some preferential treatment to her family.

China has indeed seen zombies, but because the government has properly controlled the situation, it is not serious. People are told that it is an evolved form of rabies. Suwan's parents also thought so. After hearing what Suwan said, they realized the truth and asked her worriedly, "Avi, are you okay? You have to be careful."

Suwan hadn't heard her parents' voice for a long time. When she heard their concern, her eyes turned red and she almost couldn't control her sobs and burst into tears. She tried to suppress the trembling voice and said to the phone: "I'm fine, you must do as I say immediately, there is no delay." After she said this, she hung up the phone abruptly, regardless of her mother's anxious calling of her name, then leaned on the table and took two deep breaths to calm down.

She hasn't contacted her family for several years. When her parents heard her voice just now, they didn't recognize her and thought it was a scam. Fortunately, she is still alive, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to hear her parents' voices.

Angela had already made wounds on the person in charge that looked like they were bitten by zombies. She wiped the blood off her hands and looked up at the sad Suwan, feeling a little sad as well.

These students haven't had contact with their families for a long time, but many of them suddenly died yesterday.

Instructor Will sighed and patted the two students' shoulders soothingly.

The three men walked out of the office, and no one looked back at the person in charge lying on the ground. On the way, they met a soldier. Instructor Will asked him to take people to the office to collect the body of the person in charge. Hearing that the person in charge had turned into a zombie, the soldier was surprised: "Wasn't he fine just now?"

"Who knows?" Instructor Will asked him, "Did he go to see the injured soldier yesterday?"

Yesterday a trainee was bitten by a zombie, but he felt something was wrong so he cut off the rotten flesh from the wound. However, when he arrived at the new base, the soldier was still bitten by a zombie. Although the soldier was executed soon after, Instructor Will said this very cleverly. He did not say whether the person in charge went or not. After all, even if no one saw the person in charge go, no one could conclude that he did not go.

The soldiers did not have the confidence to deny it, so they carried the body of the person in charge out. When they were carrying the body out of the building, they were seen by a group of scientific researchers passing by. They were very surprised to see that the person who died was the person in charge.

"Why did he die?" asked the researchers. After all, the death of the person in charge of the base was no small matter.

"The officer said he became a zombie," the soldier replied.

"This shouldn't happen," Zoe felt strange: "He wasn't injured, and he was still in the square before?" Even if the person in charge died later, zombies shouldn't have attacked the living so quickly.

The soldier didn't understand and shook his head blankly. Zoe approached the corpse and observed his wounds. She recognized the dagger on the head. Both the trainees and instructors of Belster had one. But the wound didn't look like that caused by a zombie. Zoe felt strange. She took out a rubber glove from the pocket of her lab coat, put it on, opened the wound and fiddled with it twice. Although the surface wound was intentionally made to look blurred and corroded, the wound inside was still normal. The wound was indeed man-made.

This fact surprised Zoe. Who killed the person in charge? This was murder! The researchers around also saw it and started to interrupt. Zoe was about to say that the person in charge was murdered when she looked up and saw Instructor Will standing in front of her, followed by Suwan and Angela.

It turned out that Instructor Will and his team were not far away and were nearby. When they saw the body of the person in charge was surrounded by scientific researchers, they came over.

Suwan frowned and stared at Zoe, his eyes were deep.

Zoe was shocked. Suwan killed the person in charge? Zoe really didn't want to believe it. Why did Suwan kill the person in charge for no reason? Even though the person in charge had a conflict with the students just now, he shouldn't have been killed! And Suwan wasn't such an impulsive person... Zoe couldn't figure it out.

"Why are you all gathered here? What's the problem?" Instructor Will put on his white gloves and asked casually, "I killed the person in charge. He turned into a zombie. I had to do this."

It turned out that it was Instructor Will who did it. Zoe breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, but she thought that Suwan must have been involved, otherwise he would not have such an attitude, and her heart began to lift again.

The researchers around were about to question the man-made wound on the person in charge's arm, but Zoe suddenly said with certainty, "It was definitely a zombie bite."

The other researchers looked at each other in bewilderment. After all, it was Zoe who first noticed something was wrong with the wound.

"It was indeed a zombie bite," Zoe repeated, took off her rubber gloves and threw them on the body of the person in charge, then said, "We have to go to the research room to sort out the information."

Although the others didn't understand, since Zoe said so, they all nodded and walked towards the laboratory. Zoe, who said she wanted to go to the laboratory quickly, stood still and looked at Suwan and called her: "Suwan."

"What's wrong?" Suwan asked indifferently.

Zoe gritted her teeth and looked at Angela who was supporting Suwan. She didn't make her words clear, but said to her: "If your room is not assigned, you can stay at my place at night."

One day was enough time to assign a room to Suwan, but since Zoe said so, Suwan looked at her deeply and nodded happily: "Okay."

Zoe looked at her with a complicated expression before turning and leaving.

As soon as Zoe turned and left, Angela complained to Suwan: "What does Zoe mean? I see she just doesn't care about you. Why do you care about her? She can't do anything to you. Why don't you sleep in my bed? I sleep on the floor. It's more convenient. She certainly doesn't take care of you as much as I do. You still have to listen to her nonsense. It's really troublesome." In fact, Zoe's image has changed in Angela's eyes, but Zoe's attitude just now made her unhappy. Zoe was clearly threatening Suwan with the real cause of death of the person in charge.

Suwan was stunned for a moment before he realized what Angela was talking about. He smiled and teased her, "Wow, you even learned idioms. Say another one."

Angela felt so good that she said something in Chinese with a proud look on her face: "Giant panda!"

"Anything else?"

"panda!"

"Anything else?"

"cat!"

Suwan then shut up and stopped asking.

During the day, Suwan occupied Angela's bed and lay in her dormitory all day. Most of the students knew each other, so they were not surprised to see Suwan lying on Angela's bed. However, the uninjured students were not as relaxed as Suwan. The uninjured students were called out for daily training. Even if they changed the environment, they could not fall behind in training.

Suwan had a good rest last night. She wasn't tired, but she felt drowsy after lying in bed for too long. She was waiting for Angela to come back and help her go back to Zoe. Unexpectedly, Zoe came to pick her up just as it got darker and Angela's training was not over yet. When Suwan heard the knock on the door, she was surprised that Angela was so polite. Did she know she was sleeping? When she heard the footsteps, Suwan knew something was wrong. Angela was wearing thick-soled leather shoes that the trainees wore uniformly. She had enough strength to walk on the ground. Wearing such shoes could also maximize the leg strength. However, the footsteps of the person who came in were very light, and they were not the shoes that the trainees wore.

Suwan turned his head and saw Zoe, who was wearing a lab coat, walking in.

Suwan looked at her in surprise. She didn't expect Zoe to come back so early and pick her up.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Where else can a wounded person go?" Zoe glanced into the dormitory. "No one is here? That's great. I only brought dinner for one person."

When Suwan heard about dinner, his eyes lit up. He propped himself up and sat up on the bed, taking the lunch box handed over by Zoe: "How did you find it?"

"Ask Instructor Will," Zoe said.

Suwan nodded in understanding: "I thought the researchers would be busy until late."

"I took a leave of absence and came back early to pick you up." Zoe said that the rooms where scientific researchers live require door cards, so she came to pick up Suwan early to avoid Suwan having to wait for her after he returned.

Suwan and Zoe were not familiar with each other, so there was nothing to talk about. So she opened her lunch box and prepared to eat her dinner. The dinner was ordinary, but as long as it was not a bloody steak, Suwan could accept it. She sat on the bed and ate her dinner quietly, her mouth full like a small animal. Zoe sat on the bed opposite Suwan and looked around the dormitory. She probably felt that there was no one else in the dormitory suitable for conversation. Zoe looked at Suwan and said in a negotiating tone: "Can we talk about the person in charge?"

Suwan glanced at her and put down the lunch box in his hand.
