[Hunter] How to kill a zombie

Zooey looked at the photo Kate handed her.

The one who was going to bring her firewood.The middle-aged woman next door who is always spying on her life.Cashier in the supermarket.

She pointed to the photo in the middle: "This is my neighbor, he lives there." She pointed to the house opposite. "I don't remember the other two."

"When was the last time you saw your neighbor? Has anything strange happened recently?"

Zooey shook her head: "I saw her when I was shopping yesterday, and nothing strange happened in my impression."

"I see." Kate pressed the brim of her hat and nodded to Zooey, "Thank you for your cooperation."

"Did something happen?"

"Ah, these people have disappeared mysteriously. I'm investigating." Kate said, frowning, "...Did I say that?" He shook his head and rubbed his eyes , "Sorry, I don't seem to be in a good state."

"Would you like to come in and take a break?" Zoe asked.

"No, no, thank you." Kate declined, "I'll ask other people."

Zooey nodded, watched him leave silently, and then thought, maybe she should deal with this problem.Then stay in another place, it is not good to stay in the same place for a long time...

A few weeks ago when she was cleaning, she found the admission letter from Buffalo University, and Arthur directly helped her apply for deferred admission.The affairs of the Corleone family were suppressed by the underworld, so the identity of Zoe Corleone can still be used.If it's just for school, it shouldn't be a big problem.

After late at night, Zooey packed her luggage, stopped by the town to deal with follow-up work, and then drove away from the house where she had lived for several months.

In the dark night, some strange noises came from the dark basement of the empty house...

Admission

Returning to campus life was easier than she had imagined.

The city is on the west side of the mainland, a little further south than where she used to live.It can be reached in one night by car (at this moment, Zoe has to thank her non-tiring zombie nature).But it is rumored that this is the coldest place in the entire continent in winter, and of course it cannot be counted as the extremely cold place in the north.

The city is clean and much more modern than the place she stayed in before.But not the modern style of Youkexin.Youkexin is crowded with high-rise buildings, and the expressions on people's faces are mostly hurried and indifferent.But the city reveals a breath of history in modern times.There are not many tall buildings, and the expressions on people's faces are much more relaxed.It's like a real city for people to live in.

Zooey didn't know how long she hadn't been to such a place.

Maybe it never came.

The University City is located on the west side of the city, separated by two rivers, forming an independent area.The festival is approaching, and both sides of the street are covered with gold, red, silver and green decorations and ribbons.There are cute beaver dolls standing at the door of many stores. The beaver seems to be the mascot of a science and engineering school next to Buffalo University.I parked the car near the rented one-person apartment, and planned to take the tram to the university to go through the admission procedures.

Surprisingly, even though it was the winter vacation, when the school received her email, it responded to her message at an amazing speed, and even left someone to help her enroll during the vacation.

Entering through the gate, the courtyard of the school is not very big, and there are not many people on the campus, but occasionally students in twos and threes can still be seen sitting on the benches chatting or drinking hot drinks.Zooey quickly found the office mentioned in the email and completed the formalities.The person who helped her with the formalities was a professor with thick glasses and messy curly hair.He does not seem to be a person who specializes in student affairs, but the dean of the Faculty of Arts.

"Hi, hello, classmate Corleone." The man pushed his glasses and said to Zoe, "I'm Professor Cooley, welcome to Buffalo University."

What a strange name, Zoe thought.Because the hair is curly, is it called curly?

However, the curly-haired professor didn't keep her for long, but quickly sent her away after completing the formalities.When Zooey walked out of school, she was still feeling emotional, the whole thing seemed too simple to do.Don't even need to use her abilities...

After leaving the main entrance of the university, there are various shops on both sides of the street.There are the most popular ice cream shops at the moment, and there are also antique shops selling rare things. Of course, the most popular are all kinds of "Barford University Peripheral Stores". The windows are filled with red and gold, which are the representative colors of the school. A variety of sweaters, scarves, beanies and T-shirts.

Zooey thought, if she was still her previous self, she must not be able to resist the temptation of the ice cream shop.But now she can hardly remember the taste of ice cream.

So she casually walked into one of the largest peripheral stores, and found that although there were still many peripherals on the first floor, most of them were books.The selection of books in the bookstore is very particular, and she quickly found several books that she wanted to read.

When paying the bill, Zoe carried a large stack of selected books to the cashier. When bagging, because there were too many books, she had to divide them into two bags.Zooey was just about to go back with her heavy book bag and enjoy it when she heard a voice asking her:

"Do you need help?"

This voice is very gentle, polite and pleasant to hear.Zooey turned her head and found that it was a blond boy who looked not much older than her. "Thank you, but no need." Zooey said, and gave the other party a polite smile, but she didn't expect the other party to follow after she walked out of the store, and took the initiative to take a bag from her.

Well... She thought, anyway, she can carry less things this way.

"Haha, are you buying so many books as reference materials for writing a winter vacation paper?" The boy asked enthusiastically, which made Zooey feel a little uncomfortable.

"Uh, it can't be counted... It can only be said to be a personal hobby?"

"Ah, sorry sorry, I thought you were a student here."

"That's it?" Zooey tilted her head, "But I postponed my enrollment for some reason, and I will officially start enrolling next semester."

"Well, it's just a one-semester course, and I haven't missed much." The blond boy smiled, "Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. I am also a freshman who just entered this year, in the Department of Law. Everyone calls me Pa inside."

It's only one semester... so it turns out that only one semester has passed since she received the admission letter?She suddenly thought, if those accidents hadn't happened, would she have spent a semester of campus life like the people next to her?

In just a few months, too many things happened that she couldn't imagine.

"My name is Zoe." She said, paused, "Department of Literature."

"Hey..." The boy named Parry squinted at her. For some reason, the man in front of him reminded her of a knight despite his appearance and age being completely different. "Zoe, what a good name! Then I'll call you Little Zoe from now on, how about it?"

"Uh..." Zooey showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Ah, sorry, it's too fast? Well, well, people always tell me that sometimes I may be too close, I hope you don't mind."

"nothing."

"Great." The blond boy's eyes formed a crescent moon. "Speaking of which, Zoe, you have a strange smell."

Zooey suddenly became alert: "Huh?"

"What kind of perfume? It smells good." Parry looked at her and said, "Should I say intoxicating... Ah, am I a little perverted when I say that?"

Zoe's vigilance loosened a little, and she sighed and said, "Maybe it's the smell of laundry detergent." Then she added a half-joking sentence. "It's really a bit perverted."

"Sorry, I will pay attention." The other party said, "Please tell me the brand of laundry detergent next time." Then he showed his phone, "Then, please tell me the contact information, Zoe."

"...By the way, are you trying to strike up a conversation?"

"Ah, did you just find out now?" The blond boy showed a bright smile.

Zooey sighed again: "Thank you for helping me get the book, just send it here."

"Are you sure? I can take you back by tram. Anyway, there's nothing to do in the afternoon."

"It's really becoming more and more perverted, Classmate Parry." Zooey smiled, "And I just arrived here, and I haven't bought a new mobile phone card yet. Sorry, let's talk about it when we have a chance."

"Well," Parry looked reluctant, "well, that's a pity."

"Indeed, unfortunately..."

"Ok?"

It's just that the tram has already arrived, and Zoe stepped onto the tram, waved goodbye to her blond classmate, and swallowed the rest of the sentence.

Because he looks...delicious.

Romance

Time flies by at school, and Zoe thinks that winter will never pass, or at least it will last for a long time, but instead she finds her time filled with a young man named Parry.This guy can be said to be lingering, and Zoe always seems to run into him wherever he goes in the next few days.Although he clearly expressed his attitude several times, Parry still stayed by her side, like a puppy that couldn't be kicked.

"It's okay if you don't want to associate with me, we can start as friends!" He always said with that bright smile that was not real.

Sometimes Zoe also wonders if he has any other purpose
