Chapter 3
Mobei University of Technology, Zhiyuan Auditorium.
"If the description on the screen is true, Mobei University of Technology is now the only hope for all mankind, and the safety of Gu Liang cannot be compromised."
"According to the plan, the first step we have to take is to stabilize the order on campus and restore the normal life of all teachers and students as soon as possible."
Zong Qinyuan on the rostrum said in a deep voice.
This was the first emergency discussion meeting held by the school leaders since all the teachers and students in the school collectively traveled to another world.
The meeting lasted for most of the day, and Gu Liang even had self-heating hotpot packed and delivered from the cafeteria for dinner.
"…Today's meeting ends here. Adjourned!"
After the meeting, it was already dark outside and the grade meetings of each department had already ended.
Gu Liangyi met his head teacher and counselor Su Shiqing who was waiting for him downstairs in the dormitory. As it was getting late, she gave him a few simple instructions and asked him to go back to the dormitory to rest, saying that he could ask his roommates if he had any questions.
The dormitories at Mobei University of Technology generally have four people in one room. Gu Liang Yiling's key has the number 211 written on it, which is the number of his future dormitory.
He hoped that his roommates would be easy to get along with, he prayed silently in his heart.
He is not the only one who thinks this way.
Compared with the decision-making team hastily set up by Mobei Industrial University, the Earth had already organized professional personnel to specialize in summarizing and analyzing intelligence from the alien world.
China even directly established a huge intelligence analysis department temporarily, with the full name of the Anomaly Analysis and Countermeasures Bureau, abbreviated as the Anomaly Analysis and Countermeasures Bureau, and the director is temporarily named Lu Lang.
He is also a graduate of Mobei University of Technology, but after graduation, Lu Lang did not engage in a job related to his major. Instead, he joined the state secrets department. He has been engaged in international intelligence analysis and investigation for more than 30 years.
Whether in terms of intelligence analysis or familiarity with the school, he is the best candidate for the position of director.
On Gu Liangyi's way back to the dormitory, Lu Lang watched the footage uploaded from the surveillance camera outside and commented in the office hall: "Although it was not mentioned in the meeting just now, I think that since the school understands Gu Liangyi's importance, they should be very careful when choosing a roommate for him."
"We must make one fact clear: Although Gu Liang did not speak much during the meeting and seemed insignificant, he now controls the entire base - that is, the real-time monitoring and material mobilization capabilities of Mobei Industrial University, as well as the function of the resurrection point, which is definitely a top priority in the future."
"If Gu Liang thought about it, his personal wishes could even override the school's arrangements. In this case, the degree of cooperation and psychological state of the parties involved are particularly important."
He lowered his head and flipped through the identity and experience information of Gu Liangyi's life over the past 16 years that had just been urgently compiled by the intelligence personnel.
When Lu Lang saw the description on the first page, "An orphan who had lived in a local unqualified welfare home for a long time as a child, and was later sent to the local city children's welfare home," his expression suddenly became quite ugly.
"Has the expert group come up with a personality and behavior analysis report on Gu Liang?"
The subordinate beside him hurriedly said, "It's already out."
"show me."
Director Lu took the two-page report, skimmed over the analysis process, and glanced at the conclusion:
"According to expert analysis, Gu Liangyi's IQ is 198, which is far above the average, and he has normal moral values and legal awareness. However, based on his comprehensive performance during compulsory education, it is preliminarily inferred that he has an introverted personality and is relatively passive in interpersonal communication."
"Other than that, no obvious psychological problems have been found so far."
"A self-abased genius who has long lacked family care..." Lu Lang stared at the report with a frown, "Then who are his roommates?"
The subordinate said, "We have already confirmed the identities of his three roommates during the grade meeting."
He placed three resumes on Lu Lang's desk.
At the top was a young man with an indifferent expression, and next to him were two lines of small words written in pen:
He was the top scorer in the science subject in the college entrance examination in City X. He had moved and changed schools many times during his student life.
My father was a drug enforcement police officer in the local public security system. He has now died and his police number has been permanently sealed.
Lu Lang stared at the photo of the black-haired young man for a long time.
The subordinate asked cautiously, "Director Lu, is there any problem with this student's information?"
"……nothing."
Lu Lang paused, then turned the page calmly.
"It was just that I suddenly saw my old friend's son and felt a little emotional for a moment."

Gu Liangyi went upstairs in the dark carrying his suitcase.
Due to power outages, the entire dormitory building was dark and silent.
He walked through the long dormitory corridor in the night and came to the dormitory door at the end. He took out the key he had just received and fumbled to insert it into the keyhole.
But before he could turn the key, the door was opened from the inside.
A ray of light shone through the crack in the door, dispelling the foggy darkness in the corridor.
Gu Liang looked up subconsciously and met a pair of dark and alert eyes.
The young man had slightly curly medium-length hair, with a few strands of hair falling on his dark eyebrows. Half of his face was illuminated by the soft candlelight, while the other half was completely immersed in the cold and heavy shadows, like a ferocious beast lurking in the dark jungle.
He was wearing a black cotton T-shirt and a simple silver longevity badge on his chest. His deep and rich eyebrows and eyes were much more three-dimensional than those of ordinary Asians, giving people a feeling of being as sharp as a blade.
When looking at him, Gu Liangyi's body inexplicably tensed up.
"Hello, classmate."
"What's up?"
The man asked in a low voice, half-turning his body from beginning to end, with the door only opened a narrow crack.
"Uh... my name is Gu Liangyi," Gu Liang didn't react until then and introduced himself. "Is this the 211 dormitory? I live here too."
The young man behind the door looked at him for a few seconds, said nothing, and just gave up his seat in silence.
Gu Liangyi passed by him dragging his suitcase. He could feel his new roommate's eyes on him. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to greet him:
"Classmate, what's your name?"
"Easy to say."
Yi Yan replied.
"Have we met somewhere before?"
Gu Liangyi always felt that he looked familiar.
Yi Yan paused for a second.
"No," he said, "I don't remember."
"Really?" Gu Liangyi looked away awkwardly, feeling that this question was really awkward.
"Hello~ I'm Zhuge Xiao, Xiao as in free and easy."
A trendy young man wearing a black and pink striped sweater and loose white pants walked out of the bathroom, leaned against the door frame, and greeted Gu Liangyi with a smile.
"Gu Liang, you are a celebrity in our school now. Many classmates come to us to ask about you."
He had a handsome appearance that leaned toward the romantic and suave type, with single eyelids that were narrow and upturned at the ends of his eyes, his hair was permed into a light platinum color, and he had a small Tai Chi Bagua earring on his left ear. He had a striking appearance, was tall and thin, and when he smiled he looked like a cunning fox.
But Gu Liangyi had a good first impression of him.
Because he was the first person to say his last name in all these years.
"Really?" He pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, "Then I am really unlucky."
"Unlucky? I don't think so," Zhuge Xiao winked at him, "It's so nice to be a celebrity, people will greet you wherever you go, I really want to experience this feeling of being the center of attention."
"Thank you, I'll just forget it."
Gu Liangyi declined the offer.
However, this conversation did dispel a lot of Gu Liangyi's restraint in front of his new roommate. He turned his head to look at the last person in the dormitory and asked in a slightly lighter tone: "Classmate, what's your name?"
"I?"
This man has a very strong physique, more than 1.9 meters tall, with a neat flat head, thick eyebrows and big eyes. His eyes are bright and he exudes a righteous air.
"My last name is Yan, Yan Beichen, but I am a Mongolian," he said with a hearty smile, while taking out a small bag of vacuum-packed beef from his suitcase and forcing it towards Gu Liangyi, "This is the marinated beef my mother made with an electric rice cooker, it's delicious. By the way, do you live in the upper or lower bunk?"
Their dormitory building is not newly built, so there are no beds or desks.
Of course, the accommodation conditions for Gu Liangyi and other freshmen were relatively good. They had independent bathrooms and relatively spacious desks and wardrobes. The worst dormitory building didn't even have a bathroom, so they had to take a basin and queue up in a public bathhouse to take a shower.
However, Gu Liangyi felt that letting Yan Beichen sleep on the upper bunk might be a bit of a safety hazard, so he said, "Go to the upper bunk. I slept on the upper bunk for most of the year in high school, so I'm used to it."
"Half a year? You were admitted as a freshman?"
Yan Beichen keenly grasped the key point of his words.
"right."
Gu Liangyi didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Almost all of his classmates in the junior class of high school were admitted to university without taking the entrance examination, and most of them had completed learning all the knowledge points of three years of high school in the first semester of their freshman year.
But Yan Beichen was very upset:
"What a jerk! Everyone in the dormitory is either the top student in the city or recommended by a competition student. Am I the only one who was admitted because of the score cut for ethnic minorities?"
"I did choose the competition route, but because my household registration is not in the mainland, my admission score is not that high." Zhuge Xiao raised his hand and said, "I am a serious academic scumbag."
"There are no poor students who can enter Tang's class," Gu Liang couldn't help laughing as he opened his suitcase, "Don't be so modest."
His bedding was bought by the school and has now been placed on his seat.
When Gu Liangyi was making the bed, he noticed that Yi Yan was sleeping on the upper bunk like him, so he asked casually, "I brought a desk lamp. What time do you usually go to bed at night? Will the light wake you up?"
The power restriction in the dormitories is only temporary. Based on the large generators seen today, Gu Liangyi estimates that normal power supply to the entire campus will be restored before noon tomorrow at the latest.
"12 o'clock." Yi Yan replied, "Just don't be too late."
"How about we set the lights-out time in our dormitory to 12 o'clock?" Zhuge Xiao suggested, "Even if you travel through time, you still need to take good care of your health and go to bed early and get up early. The flowers of our motherland must thrive and bloom in another world, right?"
After the words fell, the whole dormitory fell into a speechless silence.
After a while, Gu Liangyi laughed first.
"To be honest, I don't have any sense of reality about time travel," he sighed, "After all, I still have to sleep in the dormitory at night. If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have thought it was just an ordinary first day of school."
"It's mainly because we all wear it together in school," Yan Beichen said. "I read so many fantasy novels during the summer vacation. They were all about time travel or rebirth. How could this be possible? Not only can I not be Long Aotian after time travel, but I still have to be supervised by the teacher to go to the morning class and punch in every day. It's outrageous!"
Gu Liangyi was reminded by him and asked hurriedly, "What did you talk about at the grade meeting?"
"What did you say..."
Zhuge Xiao said listlessly, "They said that all non-professional courses and evening self-study classes will be cancelled first, but professional courses will be held as usual, and midterm and final exams will also be held as usual, because we can't let students sit idle in the dormitory, which can easily cause problems."
"Usually, Instructor Jiao leads all the teachers and students in the school to conduct collective military training, including long-distance running training and emergency assembly and evacuation drills. Even though we can't even connect to the Internet, the head of the computer department is planning to develop a software specifically for recording steps on campus! Tell me, is this something a human being can do?"
Gu Liang was also a little dumbfounded after hearing this.
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he asked, "Then... we shouldn't have to march in step during this military training, right?"
"It's true that we don't need to march anymore," Yan Beichen interrupted in a gruff voice, "but other schools' military training at the beginning of the semester is just marching and shooting, what about us? Instructor Jiao said that time is life, and he will popularize battlefield medical emergency bandaging techniques among students, as well as the upgraded version of military boxing, military grappling and KGB fighting techniques. Those who fail the test will be forced to run five kilometers with weights."
"But I'm here to go to college, not to be a special forces soldier!"
Gu Liangyi: “…………”
"Well," he cleared his throat, "actually, due to some force majeure factors, my every move will be broadcast live back to Earth, so... you will probably be on TV as well. You may need to be a little, ahem, careful with the words you use when speaking."
Yan Beichen screamed: "Fuck! Is this true?"
The exquisite boy Zhuge Xiao immediately took out a facial mask from the drawer, pointed at his eyes and asked nervously: "Do I have heavy dark circles now?"
Gu Liangyi: "Alright, alright?"
Anyway, it’s so dark now and I can’t see people’s faces clearly.
Yi Yan didn't react much, he just frowned and subconsciously glanced at the corner of the ceiling.
But how could there be cameras in a global live broadcast led by a high-dimensional civilization like this?
"Dear students, during this special period, in order to save resources, the school will stop water supply at 10:30..."
The sound of the campus broadcast came from outside the dormitory, and Gu Liang looked down:
"Who of you will take a shower first?"
"Dorm leader, you go first. You are the boss of our dormitory now." Zhuge Xiao's voice came from the lower bunk, "We should carry forward the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young. By the way, how old are you, Xiaoyi?"
Although it was just a simple nickname, Gu Liangyi was slightly dazed when he heard it.
He lowered his eyes, a look of nostalgia flashed across his face, and after a moment of silence, he replied:
"I'm sixteen."
Zhuge Xiao had no doubts and said, "Oh," "Then you are the youngest in the dormitory. I am the third oldest, and Brother Yan is the second oldest."
Gu Liang glanced at Yi Yan who was getting down from the upper bunk to get toiletries and asked, "Yi Yan, are you the dormitory head?"
"It's me." Yi Yan placed the candles issued by the school on the table in the middle of the dormitory and looked up at him. "The counselor told me that if you have any questions, come to me."
He still had no expression when he spoke, but his calm and low tone did not make people feel perfunctory.
After saying that, Yi Yan walked into the bathroom with his toiletries.
Before he could say anything, Gu Liang scratched his head and simply lowered his head to continue making the bed.
Perhaps it was because the whole day's meetings were too exhausting. Listening to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, Gu Liangyi's sleepiness, which he had suppressed during the day, surged back. He wanted to rest for a while, so he leaned against the wall, but he couldn't help but slowly close his eyes, and his breathing gradually became even.
Zhuge Xiao and Yan Beichen, who were on the lower bunk, exchanged glances.
Soon, the dormitory became silent.
The stars are high outside the window and the campus returns to silence.

The Beginning of the Age of Mutation:
On September 1, 2045, more than 30,000 teachers and students from the main campus of Mobei University of Technology collectively traveled to a different world.
This is the first time that human civilization has come into contact with higher dimensional beings.
All great changes began from here.
