Chapter 342
Time quietly came to nine o'clock in the evening, and the campus was shrouded in darkness. This was the last self-study class for the students.
The entire teaching building was brightly lit, and the warm yellow light shone through the windows, as if covering the teaching building with a layer of bright gauze, forming a sharp contrast with the darkness outside.
However, the teaching building was surprisingly quiet, with only the rustling sound of pen tips rubbing against paper, as if a quiet journey of knowledge was taking place.
According to the self-consciousness of senior high school students, there is no need for a class teacher to supervise them, so in each class, only students are studying on their own, and the class teachers are busy in their offices, with only one or two leaders patrolling the corridor occasionally.
Before coming to school, Su Miao received a new magazine sent by the magazine company. He had been adapting to the fast-paced training life in the past few days and had not had time to read it.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no teacher watching, she couldn't help but quietly take out a magazine from the desk and read it for a while.
She habitually started with the joke section, then realized that was a wrong choice.
"A college student was kidnapped. The kidnappers pinned him down on a stool and asked him: 'Tell me! Where are you from? If you don't, I'll electrocute you.'"
The college student replied to the kidnapper and was electrocuted to death because he said: "I am from the TV University."
Seeing this ending, Su Miao was stunned at first, then he reacted and couldn't help but find it funny.
She knew it was a self-study class and she couldn't make too much noise, but the joke was so funny that she couldn't suppress her laughter.
I could only quickly cover my mouth and laugh silently in my seat, my body shaking all over, it was really hard to hold it in.
Suddenly, Su Miao felt as if her chair was lightly kicked. She was startled and thought that the sound of her laughter had affected Lin Guodong behind her, and he was using this method to quietly remind her.
So she quickly turned around and said softly, "I'm sorry."
However, Lam Kwok-tung responded with a bewildered, "What?"
Su Miao was a little confused and asked again: "Huh? Didn't you kick my chair? Did I laugh out loud just now?"
Just as he finished speaking, someone outside shouted at the top of his voice: "Earthquake! It was an earthquake!"
The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the originally quiet campus.
Earthquakes rarely happen here. For most students, their knowledge of earthquakes, in addition to what they learned from textbooks, comes more from the catastrophe they heard adults talk about when they were young.
That distant memory was instantly awakened by this shout.
So, in just a moment, the originally quiet teaching building began to boil like a calm lake into which a stone was thrown.
The sound of chairs being hastily pushed aside, the hurried footsteps of classmates, and exclamations were intertwined.
Director Lin, who was patrolling the corridor, reacted immediately and shouted, "All students, please calm down. Class teachers, please quickly return to the classroom and lead the students to the playground. Follow the drill order and go downstairs. Stay calm and avoid a stampede."
Director Lin's voice penetrated the chaotic noise and calmed the somewhat panicked students. All the teachers in the school ran out of their offices and organized the students to go downstairs.
In fact, there was no strong vibration, just a slight shake. Many students did not feel it. More fear came from the shouting.
It was impossible for thousands of students to go downstairs quickly at the same time. They could only push each other and walk slowly. Fortunately, there were two staircases.
Hu Xiaodie was a little scared and held Su Miao's hand tightly. She said, "Su Miao, did you feel the vibration just now? How come I didn't feel anything at all?"
Su Miao comforted her: "I just felt the stool move a little bit. It's okay. Even if it's an earthquake, it's only a small one. It's okay."
After making sure that no students were left in the classroom, the head teachers followed the students downstairs, reminding everyone along the way not to crowd or push.
But with so many people rushing into the narrow stairwell at once, tension is inevitable.
Everyone moved downstairs in a panic. Su Miao followed the crowded crowd. The pungent smell of sweat and tension filled the air, making her heart beat faster.
The classmates were all crowded together with no space between them. Su Miao was caught up in the crowd and felt as if his feet were out of control and he could only move in the direction of the flow of people.
Suddenly, someone in front shouted, "Someone fell down!"
The already chaotic team instantly became even more panicked. The people at the back didn't know what was happening and were still pushing forward.
The classmate who fell was just in front of Su Miao. When she saw it, she wanted to stop to avoid stepping on him if she moved forward, but the unaware classmates behind her continued to enter the stairs, causing the crowd to continue to squeeze forward.
Su Miao was pushed forward uncontrollably and quickly shouted, "Stop pushing forward, someone's fallen."
But her voice seemed to have no effect in the noisy corridor. Suddenly, she missed a step and was about to fall on the back of the classmate in front of her.
At this time, three hands grabbed her at the same time. Hu Xiaodie and Lin Guodong, who were walking beside her, held her arms on the left and right, and another person pulled her clothes directly from behind.
Su Miao looked back and saw Zhang Yan. She was trying hard to resist the pressure of the students behind her pushing forward and shouted to Su Miao, "Stand up quickly! Don't fall!"
At this time, Director Lin, who was guarding the stairs, noticed the situation and hurriedly stopped the students who were still walking up the stairs, shouting, "Students, please don't crowd. Walk slowly. It's okay. We're just gathering in the playground. Don't panic. Pay attention to the students around you and help each other."
As he was speaking, the classmate who had fallen was helped up. It seemed that he had sprained his foot.
Fortunately, the classmate next to him supported him and he was able to move forward slowly.
Su Miao and the others also walked down carefully. After a few minutes, they finally reached the stairs. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the playground.
When they arrived at the playground, Zhang Yan was busy organizing the students in her class to line up so that they could count the number of people later.
Hu Xiaodie sat down on the ground, wiped the sweat from her head, and said, "Oh my God! I've never experienced anything like this before. It almost crushed me."
After experiencing the scene on the stairs, Su Miao felt his legs were a little weak. His face was pale and he didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Lin Guodong joked, "Su Miao, I told you not to be absent-minded in class. You were reading a magazine and laughing so hard that the floor was shaking."
Everyone couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and the tense atmosphere dissipated a little.
