It's five minutes before lunch break, and some restless college students have already started sneaking away, determined to find a seat.
However, at this moment, three girls were sitting in the cafeteria. It seemed that they had arrived long ago and had already eaten most of their food.
They were really tired of the food in the cafeteria, and even though they arrived early, it didn't make them happy at all.
"Yinyin was right, I really didn't attend the last class." Jiang Ning slumped onto the table, swallowing the last mouthful of soup. "I should have ordered takeout in advance. I had class in the afternoon, and there was no time to order takeout now."
"I don't know. The teacher had something come up, and Yinyin probably heard some rumors from somewhere." Wen Jinxue sighed softly, "Why did they suddenly change chefs when the mala tang was doing so well?"
This is really awful. After changing the manager, who are they trying to kill with all this salt? Are they trying to kill a whole bag of salt sellers every day?
Cheng Sui, who was eating a rice ball to the side, didn't say anything. She had already taken action to resist the cafeteria food. Whenever she was in the cafeteria at noon, she would go to the supermarket next door to buy a rice ball and resolutely refuse to eat the cafeteria food.
At this time, many people finally started arriving at the cafeteria, it seemed that it was lunchtime after school.
A group of girls got together, enjoying gossip and chatting. They would talk about games and their recent experiences. The three of them ate and chatted in the cafeteria, and before they knew it, a long time had passed.
"Let's go, let's go, we still have classes this afternoon." Jiang Ning picked up her tray and went to the recycling point, and Wen Jinxue and Cheng Sui quickly followed.
Everyone felt a little unaccustomed to Shi Yin not being around this time.
Suddenly, a faint commotion came from not far away, and the three of them looked over at the sound.
A man was seen clutching his neck, looking as if he was in pain. The people around him were immediately startled, and his friend quickly bent down to ask him what was wrong.
Jiang Ning, out of curiosity, peeked through the gap.
At this moment, the person was surrounded by people, including teachers. They immediately began to evacuate the students to ensure ventilation, in order to check the person's condition and provide emergency medical care if necessary.
"Ningning, what's wrong?" Wen Jinxue was a bit short, and even when she stood on tiptoe, she couldn't see what was happening in the crowd, so she could only worry anxiously.
But when Wen Jinxue looked up, she saw that Jiang Ning's face was rather pale and he seemed to be incredulous, so she immediately became worried.
"What's wrong? Could it be... hopeless?" Cheng Sui's heart jumped.
However, she herself felt that what she said was somewhat unlucky, and by the end her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
“This, I…” Jiang Ning opened her mouth, but didn’t know how to describe it.
Is this some new type of skin disease?
The glimpse I just caught was from a unique angle, and I just happened to see the moment the person's hand slipped down. Although the person immediately raised their hand to cover their neck, I could still clearly see the bluish-gray spots.
It resembled bluish-gray tree bark, yet one could vaguely see the bright red veins beneath the skin, sending chills down Jiang Ning's spine at first glance.
"Student, student, what's wrong?" The teacher's voice came from the crowd: "Lie down quickly, I'll give you first aid."
"Ugh... Ahhh..."
In the crowd, the person in pain lay on the ground, clutching his neck desperately, even his breathing became labored.
"Ahhh!"
"Holy crap!"
"What's wrong with you! Have you gone crazy?!"
This chilling process lasted less than half a minute, not long enough for those around to fully understand what had happened.
The next moment, the people on the ground suddenly sprang up and rushed towards the crowd.
He was very fast, but Jiang Ning was a skilled fighter who had won a city-level championship and had an exceptionally keen eye for his opponent's movements.
She clearly saw that the man's pupils had become very small, with the whites of his eyes taking up most of his eyeballs. The man was frantically trying to grab the people around him, but his fingernails were sharp and bluish-gray.
"Run!" Jiang Ning sensed something was wrong and immediately tried to grab Cheng Sui and Wen Jinxue beside her to run, but she only managed to grab Cheng Sui.
Cheng Sui stayed close to her and was easy to hold on to, but at some point, Wen Jinxue was separated by the crowd of classmates, and there were two people between them.
As luck would have it, Wen Jinxue was pushed further and further forward by the gossip of the people behind her, ending up on the second inner circle.
Unfortunately, the strange person lunged towards Wen Jinxue's direction.
Wen Jinxue instinctively wanted to retreat, but bumped into the person behind her, forcing her to stop. The people behind her scattered like birds and beasts, but Wen Jinxue had already missed her chance to escape.
Wen Jinxue looked up and watched helplessly as a person more than a head taller than her lunged down at her, so frightened that she closed her eyes.
The expected pain did not come. Wen Jinxue smelled a familiar fragrance, faint and not strong.
When I opened my eyes, the situation before me had undergone a complete transformation.
Shi Yin stood right behind her and precisely grasped the person's wrist.
Wen Jinxue opened her eyes and just saw Shi Yin pull and twist, and in an instant, she pressed the person to the ground, her knee against the person's spine. No matter how much the strange thing struggled, it could only lie on the ground.
With fluid grace and decisive action, Wen Jinxue looked up and saw Shi Yin's cold and refined profile, her sharp eyes gleaming with a captivating cold light.
"Hold him down! Hold him down!" A group of uniformed men arrived shortly after. Several tall and burly police officers took Shi Yin's hand, pinned the man to the ground, and together they pulled him into the police car.
Several other police officers evacuated the students.
"Phew, thank goodness we made it in time." Ye Shaoheng stood next to Shi Yin, sweating profusely. "Your timing was way too tight. If you had been even a second slower, we would have been in big trouble."
As Shi Yinlu said, the entire school was overrun within a week. The school and the local authorities tried to cover it up, but underestimating the virus led to the city's collapse.
"Yinyin!" Wen Jinxue burst into tears in fright, hugged Shi Yin's waist, and buried her face in Shi Yin's arms.
God knows how terrifying it was just now; that person bared their teeth and opened their mouth wide, as if they were going to eat her up.
She was so close to that person that she could see the strange, sharp teeth in his mouth. They were not teeth that a human could have; they were sharp and looked like awls.
"It's okay, I'm here."
Shi Yin put her arm around Wen Jinxue's waist and patted her back, but she still had no expression, and her words of comfort seemed somewhat perfunctory.
"Tie them up with restraints. Don't conduct any experimental sampling before I'm involved." Shi Yin turned to Ye Shaoheng and instructed, "The exact number of people in the incubation period is unknown, so we must at least postpone the outbreak."
Jiang Ning and the others couldn't understand what Shi Yin was saying, and they looked at each other in confusion. Ye Shaoheng, however, immediately understood, saluted, and rushed out of the cafeteria.
"Yinyin, you...you have some kind of hidden identity?" Jiang Ning's eyes popped out of their sockets as she watched from the side: "That's Ye Shaoheng, isn't he the youngest captain who did the live broadcast to promote the show a few days ago? How do you two know each other?"
