Puppet Tool Man
When Jiang Miao saw it for the first time, it had only spread to two or three meters outside the dormitory. It was four hours since the body was discovered, but now only a day and a night have passed, and it has quickly climbed to the fourth floor.
This shows that its reproduction is increasing exponentially. The larger the base number, the faster it reproduces and covers!
...Maybe in two hours, something like this will appear on the fifth floor.
Moreover, Jiang Miao had a terrible guess.
According to the law of conservation of energy, if there is not enough organic matter to provide nutrients for the growth of mold, it would not be possible to grow at such a fast speed. So what object in this house has the most organic matter content?
——It’s people, corpses on the first, second, third and fourth floors.
Every corpse is a reserve of supplies for it, and every inch of flesh and bone is an object for it to exploit. It is like a complacent monster, using the slowest and most methodical movements to force humans into a desperate situation step by step, and then devouring them to strengthen itself.
If all the dozens of people on the fifth floor were devoured by it, then its suddenly growing power would pour down on her and she would not be able to escape unscathed even if she had the space in her hands!
The situation suddenly became urgent.
Jiang Miao tried many methods to eliminate mold last night but they were all temporary solutions and not a cure. It was not until she posted a message asking for help that she saw several pictures that were exactly the same as the scenes she had seen on the second floor that she realized that this strange creature appeared in more than just their building!
However, since the discussion was limited to Ancheng and not every building had this weird thing, these posts were drowned out by the endless stream of insults and requests for help on social platforms.
And ten minutes ago, the authorities issued an announcement - do not rescue people injured by hail, and the dead must be burned in time!
This announcement revealed two pieces of information;
1. The source of the mold is indeed hail.
2. Incineration is the most effective method.
Listening to the noise outside, Jiang Miao felt that he couldn't continue to be so scattered, otherwise there would be no way to survive!
But asking her to step forward and lead the entire girls' dormitory to fight against the suspicious creatures goes against her principle of keeping a low profile and making a fortune in silence.
So Jiang Miao changed to an overseas mobile phone card and tried to send a message to Bai Tian.
Some people are born to be in the spotlight and enjoy being admired and envied by everyone.
Jiang Miao guessed that if he wanted to manipulate things from behind, only Bai Tian could be the puppet so as not to expose herself. Given her personality, she would even go to great lengths to cover up any flaws in order to maintain her glory.
"How do you know my name? Who are you?" Bai Tian replied quickly, and only her cell phone still had battery.
Last number 4399: I am a senior from the building opposite yours, and I specifically asked someone for your number.
Senior?
Bai Tian thought she was quite pretty, so there was nothing to be surprised about her senior brother coming to see her. It was just a little strange. Why did he suddenly come to see her when the natural disaster was so serious and everyone was staying at home?
Could it be that he was almost dying and yet he mustered up the courage to confess his love to the goddess he secretly loved?
Bai Tian (reserved): Hello, senior brother, what can I do for you?
Jiang Miao, who was clueless and focused on his work, said: Junior, I saw through the telescope that the mold in your building is almost approaching the fifth floor. Have you all retreated to a safe place?
Ah? Isn't this a confession?
Bai Tian: I don’t know. I’ll follow the teacher’s instructions.
The situation was urgent, so Jiang Miao made it short: Junior, we have discovered that mold can corrode the bodies of living people and absorb nutrients from the human body until death, and even the corpse will be decomposed by them.
Bai Tian: Senior, please don’t say such scary things. It will scare people.
?
Jiang Miao: This matter is very serious. If it is not handled properly, your entire dormitory building will be in danger of death. Do you understand?
After thinking about it, Jiang Miao suppressed her nausea and said: I believe that a girl as kind, lovely, gentle and beautiful as you would not have the heart to watch your classmates die. You are so smart and tenacious that you will definitely become their backbone and lead all the classmates to leave safely!
Although she felt very happy about the praise, but when she thought about the responsibility, Bai Tian hesitated for a moment: Is it really as serious as the senior said?
Jiang Miao: I also got the information from other dormitory buildings. You can search on social platforms. It’s really serious!
At the critical moment of life and death, Bai Tian hurriedly went to look for relevant information, and sure enough, she found a lot of cries of grief under the official blog. Only then did she become really nervous, and she held the phone tightly and asked quickly: Senior, what do you think we should do!
There was a fierce quarrel outside. When Bai Tian opened the door, she saw Teacher He and Teacher Lin in a mess, trying to stop the quarrel.
"Teacher, if we don't take any measures, we will all die here!"
Teacher He looked dazed, and Teacher Lin interrupted: "What nonsense are you talking about! The hail will stop soon, and we will be able to leave this damn place soon!"
Bai Tian said confidently: "Teacher Lin, how long has it been since the experts predicted that the hail would stop? Do you really believe that the hail will stop soon?"
The crackling sound outside seemed to be responding to everyone, and it certainly wouldn't stop.
Teacher Lin looked unhappy: "What do you mean?"
Bai Tian held up the still-lit phone and said, "Look, a lot of people have died because of this mold."
She stretched out her index finger and slid down, stopping at a message for help sent twenty minutes ago: More than thirty people have died. Which living Buddha or god can come to save us?
The accompanying pictures are colorful molds with different backgrounds.
Then, Bai Tian told them all the information about mold that her senior had given her: "...These are all my personal inferences. It's up to you whether you believe them or not."
There was so much information that the two teachers were silent and the other students were speechless.
After a while, Jiang Xiang asked, "You are coming out to tell us this now, there must be a solution, right?"
"Yes, there is." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and she changed the subject: "But it requires the cooperation of all of us."
After the words were spoken, everyone looked embarrassed.
They were still quarreling the last second, so how could the current situation allow them to willingly turn their backs to each other and face life and death together without any hesitation!
Bai Tian said in a loud voice: "Everyone, I believe you have heard what I said! What I said is true. If the internal fighting continues endlessly, everyone will be hurt! Those things will fall on us sooner or later! Who will take a look to see where the monster is now?"
Jiang Xiang didn't want to go, but everyone was watching her. She was in the wrong in this matter. Under pressure, she could only cover her mouth and nose and run over to take a quick look. "The fourth floor is probably almost gone. The thing is already on the stairwell platform!"
Bai Tian was surprised: "So fast! We don't have much time to struggle!"
But the corridor was silent, and no one stepped forward. Bai Tian said anxiously, "Teachers and students! The more nutrients this thing needs, the more it will expand. Think about it, there are so many people on this floor. With such abundant nutrients for mold, it will probably take only an hour to occupy it. Don't we have any chance to breathe while we are trapped here? Are we going to jump off the building and be killed by the hail? We are all going to die anyway, so why not stand up and fight for a way to survive before we die!"
Finally, under Bai Tian's passionate recitation, someone couldn't help but stand up and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
