The temperature dropped suddenly, the scorching sunshine at noon disappeared, and the red paint sprayed on various buildings in the school fell off one after another.
The clouds here cannot block the light, but what hangs in the sky is not really the sun. The blood-colored light of the moon tightly covers the campus, as if someone has wrapped the body in a vacuum bag, making it suffocating.
"Dull..."
Weeds and vines grew wildly on the walls, and there was no window that was intact or without blood stains. Contrary to reality, the smelly wind would continuously flow out of the corner room.
The sky was filled with the kind of black and white snow recorded in the diary. Up close, it looked like ashes falling when a fire burned.
Behind Li Huixi and Lin Qing is the central lake of the school, and the buildings here basically still look like the school.
It's exactly the same as the sentence in the diary: "But it's completely different."
Li Huixi looked back and saw that the water in the central lake here was completely dry, overgrown with weeds, and the land was cracked. Ever since entering here, there had been twisted and obscure whispers in her ears.
"What the hell is this place..."
Lin Qing choked on the dust in the air, coughed for a while, and spoke slowly with a tight throat.
"The world under the lake."
Unlike Lin Qing, Li Huixi seemed to quickly adapt to the environment here and carefully observed every facility here.
"opposite?"
"Well...the order of the buildings here is reversed from that of the real world, except for this lake."
"Chen Chichi should be here."
"You don't need to remind me about this kind of thing."
Lin Qing looked at Li Huixi who was talking to herself and did not disturb her. Instead, she walked one step ahead to the teaching building directly in front of her.
When she reached the point where she could see the classroom clearly, Lin Qing stopped. Li Huixi also caught up at this time. She saw Lin Qing, whose legs were trembling a little, staring at the classroom on the first floor with fear on her face, and raised her head. He motioned Li Huixi to look with his hand.
"There's someone inside..."
Li Huixi became vigilant when she saw this. Looking around, she saw that the classroom was full of people who looked like students, attending classes just like in the real world, but... they couldn't be counted as human beings.
The liquid on their surface is very similar to some kind of oil that can isolate other liquids, just like oil floating on water, and a human face can be vaguely seen behind the liquid.
The shape is basically the same as the "ghost" Li Huixi saw in school.
Lin Qing stared for a long time before finally calming down and saying softly:
"I know many of the people inside..."
"you know?"
"The one by the window is the monitor of Class 13, the first year of high school. He is always second in grades. We are very familiar with each other. The one giving the lecture is the physics teacher who taught us in the morning..."
Although the weirdo on the stage couldn't see the whole picture clearly, the physics teacher knew how to plate walnuts in class, and the information revealed by his gestures also told the two of them that people in the real world would correspond here one by one.
"It doesn't look like a threat."
"Look at the fourth floor..."
Lin Qing just breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the fourth floor. He was suddenly shocked that his legs were paralyzed and his scalp was numb:
I saw a weird man lying on the fourth floor of the teaching building staring at the two people downstairs. His facial features, which were completely incompatible with human beings, were rising and falling under the influence of the ripples of liquid outside his body, making it even more weird.
However, in the blink of an eye, the man quickly climbed down like a gecko, his twisted mouth seemed to be smiling, and he walked straight towards the two of them with his limbs aligned.
"run!"
The man was taller than a person downstairs, so he didn't think it was that scary. But when he ran down, a three-meter-tall monster jumped towards the two of them with a manic laugh and a ferocious face.
With no time to think, the two of them could only think about running for their lives.
At this moment, the end of get out of class bell rang in this world. The students and teachers in the entire teaching building, without exception, all uniformly turned their heads to the window and stared at the two people with sly smiles, following their running movements.
After the ringing ended, everyone squeezed out from the broken glass window and came straight towards the two of them. Among the crowd, there were a few familiar figures to Lin Qing. Similarly, Li Huixi also noticed those familiar people. It's just a little strange...
As if the apocalypse is coming, the flesh-eating zombies only know how to catch prey instinctively, but the reality here is even more terrifying. All the chasing people use their limbs like beasts, countless of them, and the dense and twisted facial features are like a flood to both sides. People rushed.
The two of them were too exhausted to care about their position. They just saw that they were about to be overtaken, threw open the door in front of them and rushed in.
This is the school cafeteria...
"Ha... ha... they... don't seem to have come in..."
Lin Qing gasped for breath, looked at the weird crowd outside the door, and summed up breathlessly.
When Lin Qing calmed down her breathing, she noticed that the two of them were in the cafeteria, and the smell of blood in the air was stronger than that in the playground.
The smell of blood entered the trachea like crazy, causing unstoppable churning in the stomach. Coupled with the intense exercise just now, something was about to flow back and rush out of the throat.
"Hey..."
Lin Qing was about to release her, but was blocked by Li Huixi. Stomach acid flowed back into her stomach along with food residue. Her throat felt like it was on fire. Lin Qing ate breakfast again.
"listen……"
Lin Qing was about to get angry, but his anger was once again suppressed by the sparse footsteps.
The nerves of the two people who were just about to lay down and rest were tense again. Their physical strength was exhausted. Every cell in their muscles was just under load to produce oxygen. At this time, they were completely unable to supply the energy for escape.
The two of them held their breaths at the same time, and slowly leaned against the wall and retreated into the dim darkness.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Li Huixi held Lin Qing's arm and could hear his heartbeat gradually accelerating.
But unlike the monster that had just run wildly, the sound of footsteps came and went. Although it was getting closer, it also deliberately kept its distance.
"I don't know how to deal with something like that again..."
"I don't think this one looks like a monster... but rather looks a bit like..."
"people?"
The footsteps finally stopped not far to the right of the two of them. There was no light here, and the two of them could hardly see anything. Lin Qing listened for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after the footsteps were indeed gone. :
"It should be safe, right?"
"Shut up!"
Li Huixi's intuition told her that the "thing" hadn't left yet and was observing the situation here in the dark, even though there had been no sound from both sides for more than ten minutes. If it's a weirdo, the two of them have probably been discovered by now, so the only possibility is...
"Li Huixi?"
There was a voice from the other side of the darkness, Chen Chichi's voice.
Li Huixi threw Lin Qing away and ran straight in the direction of Chen Chichi.
There was nothing unusual about Chen Chichi in front of him except that he was a little dirty. Lin Qing, who was not in a good condition, also caught up with him at this time.
"You are the one from Class 5..."
Chen ignored him for a long time, silently holding Li Huixi's hand and leading the two of them towards a room in the corner of the cafeteria.
Lin Qing was a little wary and asked Li Huixi:
"Are you sure she's human?"
Li Huixi ignored her and just followed Chen Chichi.
"Hey, talk, what's going on with you two? Are you possessed?"
Li Huixi glanced at him helplessly, and a familiar feeling of being rejected once again spread to Lin Qing's heart. Only then did he confirm that the two people in front of him were normal, and he followed them in stride.
Arriving at the corner room, looking at the room display, it should be the accounting room of the canteen. In Lin Qing's impression, this room is only open once a week and is empty at other times.
The tense atmosphere slowly calmed down, and Chen Chichi opened his arms and hugged Li Huixi, broke down and cried:
"I was so scared. I thought no one would come to me."
Li Huixi's expression was a little unnatural when she was hugged, but she still responded tightly to the other party, feeling embarrassed and not knowing what to say.
Lin Qingze asked:
"Why don't they go after the cafeteria?"
Chen Chichi shook his head, his throat was a little choked up from crying, and he couldn't speak much, but he still replied:
"I don't know, I've been hiding in this room."
"Because...it's not lunch break yet?"
Li Huixi's words awakened Lin Qing:
"Since they can still listen to classes, it means that they still follow the schedules stipulated in the school rules. Judging from their ferocious behavior when they find people, they obviously don't look like they know how to eat in the cafeteria..."
"What on earth are they?"
"have no idea……"
"How did you get in?"
"forgotten……"
Lin Qing was completely helpless at Chen Chichi's ignorance, spread her hands, ran to the side and sat down.
Li Huixi looked at the embarrassed Chen Chichi and thought for a moment, then asked:
"Do you remember what happened after you entered the dormitory yesterday afternoon?"
"I was going back to the dormitory to find you, but Teacher Song asked me to move some things. I was a little thirsty before leaving, so she handed me a bottle of water, and then...I can't remember."
"It's water again... At present, it seems that what you drank should be the water from the lake. That teacher is definitely not a good person."
"You mean Teacher Song?"
"right."
"It's impossible. I went to junior high school here and have known Teacher Song for almost four years."
"Someone close to you may kill someone, so what if you have known each other for four years..."
The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end. Li Huixi's expression was a little ugly, and her tone was unusually excited.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit delicate, Lin Qing interjected:
"Don't care what happens to her, how can we go back now?"
But after saying this, the atmosphere became more awkward. After all, the three of them had just arrived here not long ago, so this question was obviously stupid.
Jingle bell bell bell…
The bell rang for the last class in the morning, breaking the silence of the three, and at the same time, it was like the last whisper of a devil, arousing their fear of this place.
When the ringing ended, Lin Qing looked downstairs subconsciously, her voice trembling again:
"Look..."
Downstairs was densely packed with weirdos with distorted faces, all lying on the playground downstairs ready to go.
But they didn't climb directly out of the building like before, and it seemed they couldn't pinpoint the specific locations of the three of them.
"So they're on lunch break now...?"
Li Huixi, who had always been calm, was speechless for a moment when she saw the horrific scene in front of her.
Chen Chichi also stuttered and responded to Lin Qing's words:
"This is the canteen... then aren't we..."
"food……"
