Less than ten minutes after Qin Bai left, a figure quietly approached the area.
"The trap has been triggered. Someone must have fallen in. Hopefully it's a beautiful woman. That way, we can eat the meat while it's still hot. How wonderful!"
The man kept muttering to himself as he approached the trap and stuck his head out to look.
"Huh? Where is everyone?"
The man was completely bewildered. He saw the trap being triggered and instinctively assumed someone was inside, but there was nothing there.
While he was looking on in confusion, he didn't notice that the ice beneath his feet was cracking little by little!
Click!
bump!
"ah!!!"
As the ice beneath his feet shattered, the man fell directly into the trap set by Qin Bai.
Qin Bai used the infinite space to directly absorb the ice layer he came into contact with, while retaining some ice so that the other party could stand for a while.
Inside the trap, he also set up dozens of ice spikes to ensure that if he fell in, he would experience an incredibly painful ordeal.
Qin Bai, who was in the distance, vaguely heard screams and revealed a satisfied smile.
After that, we never encountered this situation again on the road. After all, not everyone would do something like digging traps to harm people.
Qin Bai continued forward and finally appeared at the university gate before dark.
The once bustling university is now deserted, with not a single person in sight.
Moreover, the university gates were locked.
Qin Bai took out his knife, cut the chains, and went inside.
There are many footprints inside, indicating that there are still many survivors in the university.
It's only been a little over a month, and I wonder how things have changed here.
Hopefully, there won't be a cannibalistic gang; given the university's situation, that possibility should be very small.
It's important to know that there are many canteens on campus, and each canteen has a large food reserve. As long as they don't use the food recklessly, they should be able to last until now without any problem.
"It's getting dark soon, I need to find someone to ask about the situation, let's go to the dormitory first."
Qin Bai felt that even if college students were looking for a place to live, the dormitory would definitely be their first choice.
Because the dormitories have beds, living in the classroom would mean enduring the cold.
This was Qin Bai's first time visiting a university here, but there were signposts along the way, so he wasn't worried about getting lost.
"This is the boys' dormitory, right? The girls' dormitory is across the street?"
Qin Bai glanced around and decisively walked towards the girls' dormitory.
The person he was looking for was the Sword Emperor, a girl, so naturally she wouldn't be in the boys' dormitory.
The girls' dormitory used to be a place that countless boys dared not approach. Qin Bai stood at the door of the girls' dormitory, which was locked inside.
He slashed again and walked straight into the girls' dormitory.
As soon as he entered, Qin Bai smelled a foul odor, which made him frown.
Upon closer reflection, it's not surprising; humans need to eat, drink, excrete, and sleep.
Previously, water and electricity supplies were plentiful, so these issues were not a problem, but now both water and electricity have been cut off.
If you want to use water, you need fuel to boil the ice and snow into water.
Over time, in order to save water, it's estimated that flushing the toilet won't be done as frequently.
Qin Bai silently put on a mask, and then he felt much better.
Once inside, there wasn't a single person on the entire floor.
Judging from this, it should be upstairs?
But when he was about to go up the stairs, he found that the stairs were blocked. At that moment, a girl was struggling to rummage through the clutter. She was holding a large pot in her hand, and it seemed that she was going out to dig snow.
The girl didn't notice Qin Bai until he coughed, startling her.
"ah!"
The girl sat down hard on the ground, rubbing her bottom in pain.
"Honestly, why aren't you saying anything?"
Because Qin Bai was also wearing heavy clothes, the other person subconsciously assumed that Qin Bai was also a college student here, and complained a bit.
Do you know Lü Siqin?
Qin Bai asked.
"I don't know him."
The girl shook her head.
Qin Bai wasn't surprised. How could someone possibly know everyone in a school with thousands of students?
"I'm looking for someone named Lü Siqin. She should be a junior majoring in economics and management. If you're willing to help me, these compressed biscuits are yours."
Qin Bai knew very well that if he wanted someone to help him, he had to offer them something in return.
The girl stared wide-eyed at the whole bag of compressed biscuits in Qin Bai's hand.
"You...you really want to give me the whole bag of compressed biscuits?"
"On the condition that you can help me find Lü Siqin, I can give you half first."
As he spoke, Qin Bai handed her half of the compressed biscuits. After taking them, the girl took a small bite and showed a satisfied expression. Then she put the rest into the pocket in her arms.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you find Lü Siqin. This dormitory is not for the Economics and Management Department; the Economics and Management Department students live in other dormitories, but..."
Seeing the girl hesitate, Qin Bai said directly, "Just say what you want to say."
"But I heard that the situation in the Department of Business Administration is not good. Our school has been turned into various groups, and they have fought several times for food."
"The Business Administration Department lost to another department last time, and their food portions were significantly reduced. I heard that some people over there starved to death, and others... others..."
She hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Someone is exchanging their body for food."
Qin Bai's expression remained unchanged. He could have guessed this outcome; under the threat of death, physical health was of no importance.
"Are all the school leaders still alive?"
Qin Bai asked.
“They treat us students like pigs and dogs, feeding and drinking well every day, completely ignoring us. But many of the boys are on the side of the school leaders, so we have no choice.”
Qin Bai smirked; this was really not surprising at all.
Even at this point, they still managed to pull this stunt, it's unbelievable...
There's no cure!
Suddenly, the girl exclaimed, "I almost forgot, I still need to dig for snow, wait for me a moment."
As she spoke, she quickly went out, scooped up a pot full of snow, climbed over the debris, and struggled to get up.
Qin Bai waited for a while, but the girl didn't come down. Just as he was about to go up and check on the situation, the girl arrived.
Qin Bai could clearly see that there were still tear stains at the corners of the girl's eyes, and there were obvious handprints on the parts that the mask did not cover.
She was beaten up.
Even so, the girl still didn't seem to want Qin Bai to stand up for her. Instead, she forced a smile and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to the Department of Economics and Management. Maybe we can find the person you're looking for there."
Qin Bai glanced upstairs but didn't say anything.
However, he has already decided that this school needs to be thoroughly reorganized!
