Late at night, Li Xiang drank a whole bottle of water before going to bed and was now awakened by physiological needs. He looked around at the people who were still resting and walked around the warehouse but couldn't find any solution. He felt more and more nervous.
Li Xiang couldn't bear it anymore. He quietly opened the warehouse door and went out. He closed the door again when he left, and then hurriedly ran into the woods.
"Liberated, ah, it's so painful." Li Xiang beat his shoulders. The boxes and the floor in the warehouse were too hard. I didn't feel it when I fell asleep on it. Now I wake up and feel pain everywhere. I hope tomorrow
When you get home, you can lie down in your own warm bed.
Perhaps it was because he was still sleepy, or perhaps he was too relaxed after experiencing too many horrific things. At this time, Li Xiang had completely forgotten that he was still walking on the dangerous campus. He was so tired that he almost lost the strength to lift his feet.
, so much so that I just want to walk back slowly.
Trees can cover a lot of things, right?
Some small animals, a big living person, a group of hunters...
Li Xiang was still imagining that when he got home, he would eat wontons made by his mother and complain to his father about all the things he had experienced in school. If he could kill a few monsters with his own hands on the way back, then he could follow
His parents bragged that he could join the army if he got better in the future. Ah, yes, he has always wanted to be a soldier. Why not give it a try next semester? I don’t know if he can still do it in his grade...
It's a pity that he doesn't have that chance.
The smell of blood permeating the school is already very strong, isn't it? Now if there is more, no one will be able to detect it.
Everyone goes to bed in fear this night, with the hope that everything will return to normal tomorrow morning, sadly and deceptively.
This is just the beginning, not the end.
Tang Ling suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the door of the warehouse with emotion.
I vaguely heard some sounds, very close.
The monster's low roar, and... a sound similar to a heavy object dragging on the ground?
Are you too sensitive in this environment?
Tang Ling withdrew her gaze and looked at all the people resting, counting the number of people.
Where did Li Xiang go?
Could it be...the voice just now!
Tang Ling stood up suddenly and walked towards the door. The moment she put her hand on the door handle, her eager heart calmed down wonderfully.
"Lingling, I know that sometimes, although you say you are indifferent verbally and find ten thousand ways to describe your indifference in your heart, there will always be one more reason to counterattack you, and this reason can offset all your indifference.
Lingling, let me put it bluntly, don’t take any more responsibility for this group of people, or even me and Luo Rui, take care of yourself in everything, and don’t put yourself at risk.”
Li Jia's instructions to him before taking a break suddenly came back to him at this moment.
Going out to walk alone in the woods late at night, Li Xiang didn't need to think that he was in danger. Tang Ling knew that going alone in the woods at night to find a stranger whose life or death was uncertain was undoubtedly seeking death. She also knew that in the current situation, she should protect herself.
, even the group of sleeping Li Xiang's friends, even if they now know the truth, can only stay where they are, fearful and selfish.
However, Li Jia's words were not to remind her, but to help her.
Because otherwise, how can I lock the door with peace of mind?
Tang Ling calmly took out the key from her bag, inserted it into the keyhole, turned it, and clicked.
Putting it back into her bag again, Tang Ling rubbed the door handle and lowered her head. The face hidden by her hair showed an indifference that no one had ever seen before.
On two tracks, there are five people trapped on one side and one person trapped on the other side. The train is speeding towards you. You only have one chance to change the situation. Do you save those five people or the one on the other side?
Tang Ling chose to be an indifferent bystander.
Sorry, Li Xiang.
"Lingling, what's wrong?" Luo Rui was drowsily asleep. He opened his eyes a little and saw Tang Ling sitting next to him. She swayed and buried herself in Tang Ling's arms for a while.
"It's okay, go to sleep." Tang Ling rubbed Luo Rui's furry head and thought about the current situation.
Is the monster that appears now the one from the supermarket before?
Or maybe...he came here specially?
Tang Ling was startled by the crazy thoughts in her mind. She felt that she had become more and more neurotic since the end of the world.
But once the idea arises, the anxiety will be infinitely magnified.
Because of this, Tang Ling didn't dare to sleep for almost the whole night. She forced herself to listen to the noise outside the house. Finally, it was almost seven o'clock in the morning when she finally couldn't hold on anymore and decided to squint for a while.
When I woke up again, I was awakened by the noisy sounds around me.
Tang Ling struggled to open her eyes and saw the anxious and fearful faces of the people around her. Wang Chao and several of his roommates also had sad faces.
Needless to say, it was also because of Li Xiang that he managed to stay up until morning and found out that there was no news about his good brother. This was indeed not a happy thing.
"Lingling, you're finally awake." Luo Rui noticed that the weight on her shoulders had disappeared. She turned around and saw that Tang Ling had sat up and yawned several times.
"Tang Ling, Li Xiang is gone." Gu Zhou had been paying attention to Tang Ling's movements and reported quickly when he saw that she finally woke up.
"I know." Tang Ling continued to rub her eyes without reacting too much.
"You know?" Everyone looked at her in surprise.
"Yeah. I heard a noise last night and looked around when I woke up. Li Xiang had disappeared at that time. There must be monsters around the warehouse. Li Xiang went out for some unknown reason and may have encountered an accident." Tang Ling
He moved his sore body and replied.
"So you locked the warehouse door at that time?" Gu Zhou asked.
"Yes, we were too careless, thinking that there would be no danger once we got here, but in the end we didn't even seal the door..."
"You knew he was gone, why didn't you wake us up? Why did you first think of locking the door?" Before Tang Ling could finish speaking, Wang Chao rushed to her and asked loudly, "What if Li Xiang comes back?"
!What if he is still alive!"
"Wang Chao, calm down!" Gu Zhou stopped the angry Wang Chao and persuaded him. Luo Rui, Li Jia and Zhao Chunlu also stood guard by Tang Ling's side.
"How can I calm down? She indirectly killed my brother! That's my friend!" Wang Chao was restrained by several people. He glared at Tang Ling angrily. He was already blinded by anger, "I originally
I thought you were a brave and kind person who dared to fight monsters and protect others alone, but what happened? Li Xiang listened to you so much, what did you do! I don’t ask you to be willing to save Li Xiang alone last night, but
Even if you wake me up, even if you let me go, Li Xiang may still have hope of living, but what did you do!"
"Wang Chao, that's enough! It's not Lingling's fault!"
People around them came forward to dissuade them. Looking at the situation, they were about to start an internal strife before they were killed by the monster. Despite Wang Chao's anger and the persuasion of others, Tang Ling, under the protection of Luo Rui and others, never refused.
Say something.
"Tang Ling, please speak!"
After listening to Wang Chao's roar, Tang Ling slowly raised her head and looked at him, without emotion, looking at him calmly.
