Chapter 168 "Gray Mist Invasion"
"Liangzi, have you never encountered this situation before?" Lin Yi glanced at Wei Liang and asked.
Wei Liang shook his head: "I rarely walk at night, so it's normal if I don't encounter him."
"Ouch..." Lin Yi responded.
Suddenly, Wei Liang said "f*ck", which startled Lin Yi.
Under the lamppost of "Canteen-001", there seemed to be a figure facing the wall, and that figure seemed to be...
"Zhou Yuting?" On the other side of the passage, the lights in the cafeteria flickered later. She probably wasn't in the cafeteria either. I don't know how she came down from the street lights now. "
Lin Yi took a breath and quickly shook his head and said, "Leave her alone... It's better to worry about more than to worry about. Besides, it's still difficult for her to talk about this."
Wei Liang shivered and nodded quickly.
The two immediately found the location of the "dormitory building-001" street light pole, and then set foot on this road.
"Canteen-001" Under the street light pole, "Zhou Yuting" pressed her head against the light pole like a mentally disturbed patient, her body twitching slightly.
Looking at it from another angle, you will find that she is not facing the wall at all, but pressing her face against the street lamp pole, like a drug addict, greedily sucking in the words "Canteen-001" spray-painted with white paint, and as it continues to suck, the words traced by the white paint actually come out. Some weak white powder particles...
With the dissipation of these white powder particles, the light of the street light pole of "Canteen-001" is becoming darker and darker...
…
X May 8, 2023, Teaching Building B, Teacher's Office "Group B Class 2".
Li Huiyuan sat on the sofa cautiously, not knowing what to do. She could only cast her erratic gaze on the pendulum clock on the wall, and then on the head teacher-040.
Homeroom teacher-040 tilted his neck as if he was counting the list of students in the blue folder.
Li Huiyuan didn't know why an additional count was needed when her name had already been called once.
Suddenly, class teacher-040 raised his head and glanced at the pendulum clock on the wall, then sorted out the documents on the table, and said with a smile: "It's almost time."
Li Huiyuan pursed her lips, feeling even more uneasy and embarrassed.
When the clock reached 20:00, head teacher-040 came to the door of the office and waited silently.
senses and the silence in the office could be terrifying , and Li Huiyuan is getting more and more on pins and needles .
Finally, there was a knock on the door.
"Dong! Dong! Dong..."
The sound was heavy, like a drum.
"Are you here to deliver food?" Head Teacher-040 asked calmly.
"I am "Chef-0213"..." The voice outside the door was slightly silent, and then said, "See for yourself."
Homeroom Teacher-040 opened the peephole and looked out. Then, she opened the door silently.
Li Huiyuan followed and saw a chef wearing a blue bib standing at the door of the office carrying a lunch box.
The chef in the blue bib seemed to have noticed Li Huiyuan's gaze. He glanced sideways slightly, and then looked past the head teacher-040 and fell on Li Huiyuan. He immediately anticipated something and asked in a deep voice: "Is there something wrong?"
The head teacher-040 nodded slightly.
Chef-0213's expression was very calm: "Take her to the school doctor, or...?"
"Not to the school doctor." Class Teacher-040 glanced at Li Huiyuan, shook his head and said, "She The inspiration is very high, there is a more suitable way for her... Is the security guard here? "
"I am." A low and calm voice seemed to have some kind of soothing magic, ringing like a bell from the darkness outside the teaching building.
Immediately afterwards, an iron tower-like figure holding an old kerosene lamp pushed aside the darkness and fog and slowly appeared at the door of the office.
Seeing the old kerosene lamp, Li Huiyuan's body behind Class Teacher-040 trembled unconsciously. Golden light appeared in her eyes several times, but in the end it immediately dissipated like egg white meeting water.
The security guard seemed unaware of Li Huiyuan's existence. He just looked down at the head teacher and waited for her next words.
Class teacher-040 said: "Please take her to the gymnasium."
The security guard was like a cold terminator, silent and had no more words: "No problem."
Class teacher-040 was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Can the gray fog invasion be delivered smoothly?"
The security guard then glanced at Li Huiyuan and said coldly: "Whether she can make it or not is not up to me, but to her."
The head teacher-040 waved for Li Huiyuan to come out, and then said: "I have already told you most of the things that should be said. Follow the security guard closely, he will take you to the gym."
"What to do next, wait until you see the body." Teacher Yu will know that no matter what happens along the way, don’t leave the security guard for even half a step. He will help you solve all crises. "
"Remember, the security guard is absolutely trustworthy at any time and in any place."
Li Huiyuan glanced at the security guard with some fear, and then gritted her teeth: "Okay, teacher... I understand."
The head teacher-040 smiled and touched her head: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Li Huiyuan pursed her lips and nodded.
The head teacher-040 then took the lunch box from the chef-0213’s hand, and then seemed to have thought of something, and asked: “How is the situation in the canteen?”
The chef-0213 was slightly stunned and said: “You want to ask about that thing before?”
“I want to know. Tao, what happened to the previous incident..."
Chef-0213 said solemnly: "The previous incident... we have still not been able to find any trace of the canteen owner, and we are not sure whether he is related to it..."
The head teacher was silent for a moment, and then asked: "What about today? 'Grey Mist Invasion'?"
"Yes, the '73rd Gray Fog Invasion'." Chef-0213 said, "You should remember that judging from our company's observation records of the 'Doomsday', this period was indeed during the period of the 'Gray Fog Invasion', so the outbreak is not surprising." , although the canteen is one of the fortresses, after all, it is just a logistics area for wiping your butt. In terms of resistance, it is not as good as the "city wall" and "outpost"..."
"Furthermore, the canteen owner has been lost, and the defense line in the canteen has been relaxed a lot... However, it will be much better if we survive tonight."
"How many of the experience students have been evacuated?"
Homeroom teacher-040 nodded and said: "Most of the people with high inspiration have been arranged according to the "Emergency Response Plan·Appendix B"... I also gave everyone the right to choose according to their own will. "
"Choice is the most difficult thing to make, but to a certain extent, it allows them to persist for their choice, and it can also be regarded as allowing them to strengthen their self-will." Chef-0213 nodded.
"Can the campus hold on?" Class Teacher-040 looked at the increasingly dim street light poles in the thick fog, and couldn't help but have a look of worry in his eyes.
"Theoretically, if all the experimental students are not wiped out, they should be able to survive tonight." Chef-0213 said.
“Then...what about the next few days?”
…”
"Let's take it step by step. Protect yourself first tonight. Don't leave the office after locking the classroom door. Leave the rest to us for now."
Homeroom teacher-040 sighed quietly, turned around and walked to the classroom of Class 2, Group B, locked the classroom door with the key, and then returned to the office.
「小卖部老板失踪……第73次灰雾入侵……」
「哎……」
……
On May 8, 2023, at 20:47, Lin Yi and Wei Liang slowly stopped under the street light pole of "dormitory building-087".
"There's something wrong..." Lin Yi muttered.
Wei Liang asked doubtfully: "How do you say that?"
"There are some street light poles that are not lit." Lin Yi said in a deep voice.
Along the way, they did not pass every street light pole. On the way from "dormitory building-001" to "dormitory building-087", sometimes "dormitory building-010" was not followed by "dormitory building-011" but directly by "dormitory building-015", skipping four poles.
"Anyway, as long as the number is incremented, it'll be fine, right?" Wei Liang asked not sure.
"Theoretically, it's fine." Lin Yi nodded, but looked forward with concern.
The cobblestone road in front of "dormitory building-087" has been completely submerged in thick fog. There is no street light at all at close range. There is only a hazy light and shadow in the distance, and... it is not sure whether it is a street light pole with increasing numbers.
"The light of the street lamp has become dim for some reason..." Lin Yi said worriedly, "I'm a little worried that we are lost here..."
As soon as the evening wind blew, Wei Liang's body began to tremble slightly.
"How about... how about we wait for the security here?" Wei Liang said, "That's what Teacher Lin said."
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, and then glanced at his watch.
20:48.
【Between 20:00 and 21:00, security will patrol between the teaching building and the dormitory building...】
"There are still 12 minutes." Lin Yi pondered for a moment, "It's not that we can't wait... It's just that the light of the street lights is getting worse. It's getting bleak. If we can't wait, we still have to bite the bullet and take a comprehensive road..."
Wei Liang's face turned slightly pale: "I still insist on waiting..."
"Then wait a moment." Lin Yi nodded slightly.
After all, this is in line with the arrangement of class teacher-040, so there is no harm in waiting.
The two of them leaned against the lamppost and waited silently.
Suddenly, Wei Liang asked coldly: "Old Lin..."
"Huh?"
"That watch of yours... check the time more..."
Lin Yi was slightly startled, and then said: "Don't worry."
Wei Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Okay..."
"Are you tired? Don't fall asleep!" Lin Yi reminded quickly.
Wei Liang rubbed his temples, waved his hands and said: "I just read comics for a long time and my eyes are sore, it's okay."
After saying that, he began to breathe slowly.
Lin Yi lowered his head and glanced at his watch, and then looked around, searching for the security guard...
The fog was already very thick now, and the intensity had exceeded that of last night, and was comparable to the level of darkness on the day he entered school.
Coupled with Lin Yi's psychological and visual impact of "the light of the street lights getting dimmer and dimming", the street lights in front of him became increasingly unclear.
"Liangzi... have you ever felt that the street lights have dimmed?" Lin Yi asked Wei Liang.
Wei Liang narrowed his eyes and hesitated: "Maybe it's because the street lights have dimmed, or maybe it's because the distance is so far that we can't see clearly?"
"You mean, it's already on the way. Some of the street lights have been turned off, so the distance between the illuminated street lights is equal to the length of the side? "
"Uh... I guess." Wei Liang opened his mouth and thought to himself, how the hell did you understand this level?
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and muttered: "But the code says that the street lights in the campus are always on... emmm... No, that's not necessarily the case..."
The code also says that the teaching building will provide us with shelter, and that the gymnasium is one of the safest areas on campus... Shelter and safety may both be available, but they are not absolute. It can only be said that in To a large extent, the code is correct. "
"And what's happening now may have exceeded the scope, or... reached a certain critical value?!"
Lin Yi's eyes flickered as if he thought of something. He took a deep breath and continued to observe his surroundings, but he couldn't even see the shadow of the security guard in the fog.
He lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
"What time is it?" Wei Liang asked.
"20:52."
"Eight minutes left..." Wei Liang's face looked a little ugly.
"Can you still hold on?"
"You can hold on as long as the light is on." Wei Liang glanced at the cobblestone ground with some difficulty.
I saw that the connection between street lamps had been cut off by thick fog, and the thick fog was gradually eating away at the area formed by the street lamps.
The range of the light is being continuously compressed, and it will take a long time before the fog completely submerges this area, but...if they cannot leave, they will be swallowed up by the fog sooner or later.
The time came to 20:56, and the forest-white mist lingered outside the light accompanied by the damp cold wind at night. In the dark place, the forest-white fog shadow revealed an off-white texture, as if countless gravels were crushed and blown in the wind, full of substantial graininess...
Rustling..."
The mist between the mountains is constantly intertwining, and shadows are wandering in the darkness. It is difficult to tell how many are human sculptures and how many are nocturnal species...
These inhuman units are like insects huddled at the bottom of the underworld, peeping at the appearance of the human world through tiny holes, and constantly looking for opportunities to rush ashore and drag people into the water.
