Chapter 395 – Me and My Zombie Family (1)
“The one at the front! Walk slowly! And don’t sway around!”
“Headmaster, it’s not comfortable to walk with someone stuck onto my back.”
“I’m caught in between two people! I’m even more uncomfortable!” Chen Yu bellowed.
“Tch. Your position is obviously the most comfortable one…” Someone from behind Chen Yu whispered.
“Who was it?” Chen Yu stiffened his neck and turned his head around. “Who said that just now? Who said my position was more comfortable?”
The dozen other people behind Chen Yu hurriedly shook their heads.
“Why are there so many of you behind now?!” Chen Yu bellowed. “What the heck are you guys doing!?”
“This Rhythm Virus is really scary. It doesn’t matter which one of us in line exchanges glances with other people. The virus will still be transmitted all the same,” the lanky boy standing at the head of the line said grumpily. “Don’t we have the power to resist this?”
“Shut up! It’s your fault we’re in this mess in the first place!”
“You were the one who gave me permission?”
“Oh? Blaming me now, are you?”
“Are you blaming me, then?”
“Which class are you from?”
“…”
Seeing that the front boy dared not say anything more, Chen Yu cleared his throat and shouted, “Everyone except for the idiot at the front, close your eyes to avoid infecting others. It’ll get even more troublesome to move if the line gets any longer. Understood?”
“Understood!” Everyone responded in unison.
“Now, start walking, slowly.”
Under Chen Yu’s command, the line began moving slowly. After two minutes, everyone finally left the study.
[Ahahaha! I’m dying of laughter!]
[Is this the infamous human centipede? Like, like.]
[Why do people of the future keep creating such loony products? What purpose do these things even serve?]
[This looks fun, but I don’t think I can keep watching this for much longer. The number of infected on the streets is continuously increasing, and every one of them is spitting out bubbles.]
[Are there any people infected watching the livestream? What does it feel like?]
[I’m infected. My beard and hair are falling off. My abdomen feels painful and numb as well. It feels like the time when I was in childbirth.]
[??]
[That’s a little too much information…]
“Headmaster, where are we going?” After exiting the study, the lanky boy turned around and asked.
Immediately afterward, the 15 other people behind him turned around simultaneously…
“…Go downstairs and head to the medical department. We’ll have the medical professors introduce the mutated virus to the audience. Students who can still move freely, you’ll be responsible for protecting us. Huh? When did another person join the line?”
Hearing Chen Yu’s question, the female student stuck at the back of the line said timidly, “S-Sorry. I accidentally looked into your eyes when you turned around.”
Chen Yu: “…”
“It won’t happen again next time.”
“The problem is, once there’s a girl at the rear, there will be a boy joining the line immediately afterward.”
“There’s such a pattern as well?” a slightly chubby male student asked as he glanced at Chen Yu in surprise. He then wobbled his way over and stuck himself to the back of the line. “Wow, that really is the case. How magical.”
“Magical, my ass! You damned pervert!”
…
The team continued advancing forward. After struggling for five minutes, everyone successfully arrived on the first floor through the spiral staircase.
At this time, standing not far away from the staircase was a group of two dozen or so professors. Upon seeing Chen Yu appearing, they promptly trotted up to him.
“Headmaster, you finally came down.”
“Are there any technological products left?”
“We can use them to protect ourselves and conduct research on them…”
Seeing the professors running toward him, Chen Yu’s complexion darkened immediately. He then shut his eyes and shouted, “Don’t come near us! Don’t exchange glances with the first student in the line!”
These professors had originally come to the Headmaster’s Tower because they had been captivated by the content they saw through the livestream. Hence, they naturally knew what had happened to Chen Yu and the students. However, upon hearing Chen Yu’s “reminder,” many professors subconsciously turned to look at the lanky youth at the front.
Hence…
One after another, these professors wobbled their way and joined the “snake” army…
“Fuck.” An agonizing expression appearing on his face, Chen Yu asked, “Are you people addicted or something? Do you think this is fun?”
“Headmaster.” In a worried tone, the lanky boy asked, “The line seems to be getting longer and longer.”
“…You shut your mouth.” Sighing, Chen Yu faced the camera and explained, “As everyone can see, we are in a little bit of a bind right now. If we get attacked by one of the infected animals outside, we will likely be wiped out. However, it doesn’t matter. We are experiencing this disaster together with everyone, anyway. It won’t matter even if we are put in a slightly strange circumstance. Next, we will head to the medical facility and have the professors there give everyone an analysis of the mutated virus.”
After Chen Yu finished saying so, the lanky boy at the front reacted quickly and began advancing forward, “dragging” the long line behind him toward the medical department.
[There are 23 segments now.]
[Both are viruses, yet why do I feel like the Rhythm Virus is much more powerful than the mutated virus?]
[Important warning! Infected humans will attack other healthy humans! This really is a zombie virus!]
[The zombies don’t move very quickly, so they don’t pose much of a threat. The main problem is the bubbles they spit out.]
[I saw an infected rat self-detonate and cover a small area in blood.]
[Honestly, this mutated virus looks much more dangerous than the one found in Resident Evil.]

Creak…
Shortly after the group began advancing once more, the door of the corridor to their left suddenly opened. A bloodied hand then emerged from the door gap.
“Stop!” Chen Yu shouted, tensing his spirits.
Immediately, the lanky boy at the front halted his footsteps and gulped nervously.
The surrounding students and professors, who still had control over their own bodies, promptly lifted the various high-tech weapons they carried and focused on the corridor.
Roar…
Accompanied by a strange roar, a uniformed zookeeper staggered out of the corridor. However, the zookeeper’s bloodshot eyes still carried a hint of intelligence. Upon seeing Chen Yu’s group, she said, “I’m…infected and hungry.”
“There are infected people inside the castle complex as well?” Chen Yu frowned.
“There are many infected people inside the castle complex.”
Suddenly, a voice appeared beside Chen Yu. Turning around, he found that Hermione had appeared beside him.
“You’re here.”
“Mhm. I’ve come to protect you, Lord Headmaster.”
“Nice timing. Tell us about the castle’s situation.”
“Okay.” Hermione nodded. “The current situation in the castle complex isn’t optimistic. The virus first appeared in animals. As there are many animals in the castle, the entire castle has now become one big petri dish for the virus. Almost all zookeepers were infected in the first few moments of the virus outbreak. The classrooms found near the courtyards have been hit hard as well, and there are over a hundred people infected by the virus already.”
“What about the medical department?”
“There are many white mice, frogs, and other dissection specimens in the medical department. Many professors and students ended up getting infected by them.”
“How much do you understand about this virus? Tell the audience about it.”
“I don’t understand anything about it.” Hermione shook her head.
“If that’s the case, I guess we’ll still have to head to the medical department.”
Roar!
After standing idly for a moment, the infected zookeeper began advancing once more.
In response, Hermione raised the High-frequency Lightsaber she wielded immediately.
“Don’t attack her. She seems to have the ability to think still. Let’s see what she wants to do,” Chen Yu commanded.
Hermione then lowered her weapon obediently.
Gurgle, gurgle.
The infected zookeeper spat out bubbles and opened her bloodied arms. She then tried to pounce at the closest student to her.
“Hurry up and run! She’s trying to eat you!” the lanky boy at the front shouted when he noticed the ferocious gaze in the infected zookeeper’s eyes.
Meanwhile, hearing the lanky boy’s shout, the zookeeper subconsciously turned to look at him, and her body subsequently stiffened.
“T-This can’t be possible, right?” Chen Yu couldn’t help but be taken aback by this scene.
The next second, the infected zookeeper retracted her outstretched arms stiffly and began staggering her way toward the back of the line…
Chen Yu: “…”
Everyone: “…”
[…]
[…]
Suddenly, silence filled both the scene and the various livestream rooms’ bullet comment section.
After a moment, the lanky boy said uneasily, “Headmaster, the line has grown longer again.”
With a face full of agony, Chen Yu said, “I told you to shut up…”
