"Brother Li Qingshan, why are you injured like this?"
At the door of the cafeteria in Area C, Wang Yan looked at Gu Qinghan and frowned deeply.
Gu Qinghan waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
Then, he seemed to remember something, smiled and said:
"Actually, I lied to you before. My name is Gu Qinghan."
He used to identify himself as Li Qingshan, which was out of bad taste, but the most important thing was to hide himself.
But now, he has solved Li Qingshan.
Wang Yan was definitely a good, honest boy, and Gu Qinghan felt there was no need to continue to lie to him.
Wang Yan sighed, and then said openly:
"It's a small matter. By the way, has the matter been resolved?"
"Well, it's not bad. It's solved. I've troubled you these days."
"It's just a piece of cake. By the way, what are your recent plans?"
Wang Yan looked at the skeleton behind Gu Qinghan with some fear in his eyes.
If his estimate was correct, three or four of these skeletons could compete with him.
If there were five or six, I would probably have to explain myself.
Of course, he didn't know that Gu Qinghan put away his training armor in order not to hit him.
In that case, he might really have some doubts about life.
Gu Qinghan scratched his head. He actually had no plan.
At first, he wanted to improve his strength in school, but as his strength improved, he needed more and more necromancy energy to upgrade.
If he only relied on these skeletons and weak monsters, he might be able to level up in years and months.
But after today's battle with Li Qingshan, he deeply realized that his strength was still not top-notch.
More importantly, after killing Li Qingshan, a black-red necromantic energy entered his body.
Although nothing caused him any harm, Gu Qinghan had a vague feeling of something bad.
If he had to say his next goal, it would be to become stronger.
Obviously, this university campus can no longer satisfy him.
At this time, Chen Yuting had been called over, and she was shocked when she saw the blood stains on Gu Qinghan's body.
However, she soon saw that it was not Gu Qinghan's blood, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't have any specific plans at the moment, but I'm going to go out of school to see what's going on in the outside world."
Gu Qinghan said casually, but these words made Chen Yuting's face slightly happy.
If Gu Qinghan wants to go out, he will be one step closer to taking her to find her family!
But before she could be happy, Wang Yan broke his dream and sighed softly and said:
"Don't blame me for being a spoiler, brother. Although you are very strong, I feel like you may not be able to go to school."
Gu Qinghan frowned and asked immediately:
"Why do you say that? Is there any news?"
Wang Yan nodded and took a sip of water before continuing:
"When I went out to upgrade yesterday, I met a team coming back from the gate of Area C. They told me something."
He paused and then asked a seemingly unrelated question:
"You must know that our school has an ancient tree that existed before the school was founded, right?"
Gu Qinghan didn't know why he asked this, but he nodded anyway.
"I heard from those who came back that this ancient tree seems to have mutated!"
"That ancient tree is at least more than a hundred years old, isn't it? Isn't it said that it is almost dead?
Moreover, what does this have to do with our inability to leave the school gate? "
Wang Yan patted his thigh with helplessness on his face:
"It's this mutated ancient tree that has surrounded the school! That team of people came all the way from Area A, and there's no place to get out."
Gu Qinghan was dumbfounded. His university occupied a huge area, how could it be surrounded by a tree.
However, Wang Yan's serious expression didn't look like he was faking at all.
Wang Yan also knew that what he said was too shocking, so he took out his mobile phone.
He opened a photo, which seemed to be the result of taking a photo directly from someone else's phone.
Gu Qinghan was surprised at first that the other party still had his cell phone, and then looked at the content of the photo.
As a result, he just glanced at it, and the expression on his face changed from indifferent to astonishment.
In the photo, it is the gate of their school.
But at the gate, roots as thick as an adult broke out from the ground and extended upward for a long distance.
Judging from the photos, this tree wall composed of roots should be three to four meters long.
"This... this is like a primeval forest..."
Chen Yuting opened her mouth slightly, her eyes showing deep shock.
Gu Qinghan also frowned. Although the photo was a bit blurry, it made him feel a sense of depression.
It felt like he was trapped in a cage, waiting to be slaughtered.
He looked at Wang Yan and asked:
"Didn't they try to get out? Would these roots attack people?"
"I tried, but these tree roots will quickly block the exit, but they will not attack people.
Some people say that this tree wants to trap us in the school, but others think that this tree is protecting us. "
Gu Qinghan's mouth twitched. He had indeed heard that this tree was the patron saint tree of their university.
But if you think that the mutated ancient trees will protect them based on this alone, that would be too optimistic.
"I'll take a look myself. Thank you for the news."
He said thank you to Wang Yan seriously and then left.
Wang Yan hesitated for a moment and suddenly called him:
"I know my strength is nothing to you, so I won't let you take me with you, but can I ask you something?"
Gu Qinghan thought for a while and did not rush to agree:
"You tell me first. If it's not too much trouble, I can help you."
He liked Wang Yan's character very much, and he also helped him. He also told him the news about the mutated ancient tree.
For such a person, Gu Qinghan is still willing to help as long as it doesn't cause him too much trouble.
When Wang Yan heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"Don't worry, it won't be troublesome. There is a food processing factory north of our school.
My parents both work there and are probably there now. I want you to help me say goodbye to them. "
Gu Qinghan knew that the food processing factory seemed to be invested and built by a well-known company in Kimchi Country.
However, the distance between the school and that side seems to be dozens of kilometers away.
Before the end of the world, this distance might only take a short taxi ride.
But now, that distance may take forever to complete.
"It's too far. Sorry, I think you should go see them when you have a chance."
Gu Qinghan shook his head. He was not a bad person, and the other party's request exceeded his expectations.
That's the way he is. Only when what he pays and what he gets in return are roughly equal will he be willing to do it.
Otherwise, no discussion.
Wang Yan realized that he had not made it clear and quickly explained:
"I'm sorry, please listen to me first.
That food processing factory processes prepared dishes. You can stop by there and get a lot of food!
The only thing you can eat every day now is probably bread and instant noodles, right? You can’t keep eating these from now on, right? "
He spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid that Gu Qinghan would leave directly.
Gu Qinghan glanced at him with interest this time, and then said:
"But pre-made dishes should have storage conditions, right? The power is out now, so it won't be of any use if I go there, right?"
When Wang Yan heard this question, he knew that Gu Qinghan was definitely tempted, and immediately explained:
"Don't worry, that factory has a daily output of at least dozens of tons, and the power outage has long been considered.
My dad said that their cold storage has imported batteries that can sustain the consumption of the cold storage for nearly half a month. "
Hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on Gu Qinghan's face:
"Don't worry, although I haven't seen our parents, I've wanted to see them for a long time!"
Wang Yan didn't know what to say when he saw Gu Qinghan's attitude changing so quickly.
