One day, Li Ming, who was enjoying his relaxed university life, suddenly saw an "Exchange Forum" from outside the world. The users on the forum referred to Li Ming's world as a comic, h...
Chapter 34 Post-war settlement of the silly roe deer.
They left in a hurry.
Li Ming originally planned to go back to the dormitory building to take a look, but because of his concern for the injured people on the scene, he could only choose to quickly take everyone to rest after finding the remaining few members of the team.
Zhou Haoyu walked downstairs by himself.
When the two met on the stairs of the teaching building, he, with bruises on his face, subconsciously gave Li Ming an awkward and somewhat guilty smile.
very good……
Li Ming stared at Zhou Haoyu's collar which was bleeding, and thought silently: It seems there is one more injured person.
Liu Mei has already left.
The moment she broke through the disaster area, she followed the direction of the smoke and ran towards the teaching building. With the help of the firelight, Zhou Haoyu watched her merge with another blurry figure, and even climb over the high wall and leave the school.
Their final farewell was a short sentence:
'Goodbye, junior. Give you and your roommate my thanks.'
Li Ming felt inexplicably regretful after hearing this.
He hadn't had the chance to express his gratitude to the two seniors for their help when they first met, but now he was caught off guard and learned of their departure.
Maybe parting is just so unexpected.
But Li Ming knew that he couldn't relax yet. He had to find a safe and reliable resting place so that the injured could get an effective rest.
Fortunately, there is never a shortage of accommodation around the school.
When they went out for a few kilometers, they saw a hotel that looked quite expensive. So the four college students with high aspirations successfully "checked in" to the top suite under the cover of night with Jiang Huai's talent.
Li Ming also had some free time to search for a pharmacy nearby.
"Fuck! My senior is missing!"
When Li Ming returned to the hotel carrying a lot of shopping bags and was about to open the door, he suddenly heard Wei Zhehan's cry in the room.
A question mark suddenly popped up in Li Ming's mind:
Why did Xiao Wei just notice now that his senior was missing?
"Weren't you there when we said the senior sister left?" Zhou Haoyu followed with a helpless tone.
"No, this is different!" Wei Zhehan complained sadly, "At that time I thought you were just saying goodbye temporarily, but I didn't expect it was a real farewell!"
"I don't have the talent buff of my senior anymore."
“…”
Li Ming's originally sad mood was instantly destroyed by Wei Zhehan's last sentence. It turned out that Wei Zhehan lost a Buff after the grief... It made him think that Wei Zhehan was melancholy about the change of things and people...
But Wei Zhehan's current activeness alleviated his inner anxiety very well.
Li Ming let out a long sigh and pushed the door open with a feigned reluctance. He shook the plastic bag full of things in his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, let's stop talking. Does anyone of you want something to eat?"
"I happened to pass a supermarket on the way."
"Yeah, midnight snack!"
As soon as the words fell, Wei Zhehan's joyful voice rang out. He hurriedly reached out to take the snack bag handed over by Li Ming, tore open the outer packaging, and started to bite randomly.
He looked starving.
Li Ming felt a little guilty. He was still confused about why he suddenly fainted during the decisive battle. Although Li Ming knew that even if he was awake, he might not be able to help...
But he still feels frustrated about being left behind.
Li Ming reached out and placed another plastic bag filled with medical supplies on the table, and said to Zhou Haoyu, "Head of the dormitory, how about I help you disinfect first?"
Compared with Xiao Wei's injuries, any discerning person could tell that Zhou Haoyu's injury was more serious.
So Zhou Haoyu, who was pressing his wound, smiled guiltily again and whispered, "Okay."
"Zhou Haoyu, how could you be more serious than me?"
Wei Zhehan asked belatedly. While he was looking up to ask, he did not forget to push the bag of snacks on the table to Jiang Huai who was resting with his eyes closed.
"Maybe it's because..." Zhou Haoyu's eyes drifted, "I went through a series of events including knife-drawing, knife-seizing, and beatings..."
"Hiss——" Zhou Haoyu suddenly gasped in pain.
"I'm sorry, I didn't control the strength well."
Li Ming apologized expressionlessly. He continued to pick up a cotton swab and dip it in disinfectant alcohol, carefully treating the wound on the man's arm that was covered with knife wounds.
Anyone who saw his expression would think that he was sulking in secret.
Zhou Haoyu looked more guilty.
There was silence for a moment, and finally Jiang Huai, who couldn't read the air, suddenly asked: "Who are you fighting with?"
“…”
Zhou Haoyu suddenly felt like he was going to be struck by lightning: ...Do they really want to continue with this question?
"And the subjectivity of the faceless students." He replied softly.
After Zhou Haoyu finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Li Ming, but Li Ming didn't react. So he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Very good, it seems that we can still communicate.
"I was wondering where they went, and it turns out they went to your place."
Wei Zhehan sighed loudly.
"It seems that the reason why we can't communicate is because of this." Jiang Huai pondered after hearing this, "It seems that the disaster will prioritize attacking the Apocalypse with a similar sequence. I can only say that fortunately your talents are not very aggressive..."
“But I feel like He was too accurate.”
Stop talking, stop talking... Zhou Haoyu turned his head away with a wandering gaze, but when he thought that other people might encounter the same dilemma as him, he still explained in a low voice:
"Apocalypses or Calamities of similar sequences can sense each other's presence when using their talents."
"If you encounter this in the future... remember to be careful..."
Li Ming's action of bandaging the wound suddenly stopped.
Just when Zhou Haoyu thought he was going to attack him, Wei Zhehan suddenly realized, "No wonder you kept asking me which knife is more convenient to carry when fighting before you started your plan. So this is the reason!"
"..." Zhou Haoyu fell silent.
Wei Zhehan, if you can't speak, no one will think you are dumb. It's over, now his chances of being beaten up by all the dormitory members have increased.
"I just had a vague feeling that something was wrong at the time." Zhou Haoyu struggled to justify himself, "It was not until the middle of the battle that I realized this matter..."
"Heh." Li Ming sneered.
Zhou Haoyu suddenly became so stiff that he dared not move.
"I don't think this is something that can be concealed." Jiang Huai shook his head without admiration after hearing this, "If you feel guilty about what I said to you at that time, I think you can -"
"What did you say?" Li Ming turned his head.
"No, there's no need to repeat this!" Zhou Haoyu hurriedly reached out to stop Jiang Huai, but soon he curled up and uttered a quick breath, "It hurts..."
"If it hurts, stop moving."
Li Ming immediately lost the desire to look up the matter. His eyes stayed on the other person's bleeding palm, and he sighed and murmured: "What if the scar can't be removed..."
"Scars are proof of being a man." Zhou Haoyu retorted in a low voice.
"..." Li Ming glared at the other person fiercely, "Don't follow Xiao Wei's example and suddenly say these unscientific words at this time! I'm worried about whether you will recover!"
Zhou Haoyu quickly slid to his knees: "I was wrong, I was wrong."
Wei Zhehan looked confused: "Why am I unscientific?"
Amid the noise, Li Ming stood up expressionlessly and said to Jiang Huai, "It's OK. There's no serious injury. But to be on the safe side, it's best to see a doctor."
"It's not easy to find a doctor now." Jiang Huai frowned.
"But the most difficult thing should be..." Li Ming turned to look at Wei Zhehan, his expression as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
Wei Zhehan, whose eyes were stained with gray, blinked in confusion: "Huh? Me? I think there's nothing wrong with me now, I'm just a little nearsighted."
"It was my negligence." Jiang Huai admitted his mistake sincerely.
Li Ming sighed inexplicably after hearing this. Although he had prepared for the post-war situation from the beginning, when the reality was in front of him, he still felt uncomfortable.
"Xiao Wei's situation is more suitable for finding an apocalypse person with a natural healing ability." Zhou Haoyu smiled bitterly, "I just did some research while you were away. Physical treatment may only be able to suppress the disease, but cannot solve the root cause."
"This seems to be more difficult than finding a doctor." Wei Zhehan followed up dryly.
Despite what he said, Wei Zhehan showed no signs of anxiety. He looked like he had drunk a 70% glass of wine and was slightly tipsy.
Silly roe deer.
Li Ming cursed secretly in his heart.
"Li Ming, did you meet anyone when you were out?" Jiang Huai suddenly asked.
"No, I didn't meet anyone along the way." Li Ming shook his head regretfully, "The whole city seems to be empty now, only the power supply system is still running normally."
It should be said that fortunately the power supply system is working.
"Hmm..." Jiang Huai fell into deep thought after hearing this, "It seems that they should all be caught in the fog. But let's talk about these things tomorrow. Let's have a good rest today."
Jiang Huai couldn't help but sigh after he finished speaking.
"This is a double room. Who among you wants to sleep with me?" Li Ming asked everyone calmly, holding up the room card of the next room.
"I'll go with you." Jiang Huai subconsciously wanted to stand up.
Zhou Haoyu suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly stopped him. He laughed dryly at the others present, "Hahaha, I think Jiang Huai and I should sleep in the same room."
"Oh." Li Ming responded indifferently.
"Ah——" Wei Zhehan was once again at a loss. He looked at Zhou Haoyu who pushed Jiang Huai out of the door and quickly closed it. Then he carefully poked his head out and said:
"Xiao Wei, you're right. Senior's buff is really useful. She helped me block a lot of knives. Thank you and Senior for thinking of this at that time."
“Yeah.” Wei Zhehan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
But after Zhou Haoyu left, he still didn't understand why Zhou Haoyu wanted to thank him. It can only be said that Wei Zhehan's mind is now confused.
"Li Ming, are you angry?" Wei Zhehan turned around and asked.
"No."
Li Ming lay down sullenly and said, "I'm just in a bad mood right now."
That should mean being angry, right?
Wei Zhehan thought hesitantly: Maybe Li Ming was sad that he didn't participate in the final battle. After all, it was normal. Who would be happy about being excluded before the final battle?
"Xiao Wei, can I ask you something?"
"Hmm?" Wei Zhehan tilted his head in confusion.
"Just suppose... suppose..." Li Ming said in a somewhat depressed tone, "If we can end the decisive battle in a more complete state, but relatively speaking we will stay in the academy longer and see more people die——"
"Which ending do you think is better, this ending or the current ending?"
"Of course the current ending is good."
Wei Zhehan answered without even thinking. He said, "Li Ming, you and everyone else are by my side now. We have only suffered some injuries. Although the injuries seem serious now, how can we know the situation in the outside world if we don't leave the academy? Perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, these are not a big deal."
"A longer time and more deaths are too far away and too uncontrollable for us. On the bright side, maybe we have saved some people who would have died."
"Even though they seem insignificant in the face of the total number of deaths, a life is still a life."
"..." Li Ming fell silent after hearing this.
After a long moment, he chuckled briefly, "You convinced me, Xiao Wei. But what if those lives that were saved think that your decision was wrong and resent you?"
"Let them hate me if they want." Wei Zhehan shrugged indifferently, "I don't think they have the courage to say these words in front of me."
His words at this moment sounded very much like what Wei Zhehan would say in the future in Li Ming's mind.
What an arrogant statement.
Li Ming covered his eyes helplessly, but these remarks did make him feel much better. At the same time, sleepiness flooded his mind:
"Good night, Xiao Wei."
"Good night, Li Ming."
