Chapter 246
According to Lulumarin, when there were no obvious signs of invasion by mutants in the apartment area, only their entire team from Diyao Academy and some members from Kant Academy were left in the entire Apartment Building A.
The Kant School Team had also received the warning, and some of their members were still outside the apartment complex. Those remaining inside were feeling anxious and uneasy about Shen Yijing's warning. When Lulu Marin suddenly arrived, and a clearly unfamiliar figure walked onto their floor, many in the Kant apartment complex were startled, almost believing an invasion had begun, mistaking Captain Diyao for the "intruder" Captain Shen had warned them about.
It was a small farce.
Fortunately, Lulumarin has strong personal abilities. Although she has no personal relationship with any player on the Kant school team, there is still necessary communication between captains. The captain of Kant quickly recognized her, thus preventing the farce from escalating into an early internal fight.
"What happened to the players from Kant Academy?" Sorok asked with concern.
Everyone present knew that Sorok wanted to know where the players from Kant College were when the players from Local Yao College left Building A of the apartment building.
"Their apartment is empty." Lulumalin said briefly.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yunu asked, "Did everyone from Kant College quietly evacuate?"
Lulumarin thought the word "quietly" used by Jiang Yunu was very interesting.
In fact, it's almost the same.
When Di Yao College decided to leave the apartment building and go downstairs to meet up with the joint team led by Jiang Yunu, according to the floor allocation drawn at the beginning, Di Yao lived on the upper floor of Building A. If the Di Yao school team wanted to leave the apartment, they would inevitably take the elevator and pass by the Kant College floor below.
Lulumarin was indeed a man of principle. She thought that she had already decided to lead the team out of the apartment. When the elevator was about to reach the floor of Kant College, she pressed the floor button specifically to make the elevator stop in front of the floor of Kant College.
—Yet the floor of Kant Academy was empty.
It was just like when she had just received the warning and went to Duma College to find someone for an interview, but found that there was no one on the Duma floor.
The people from Kant College also left the apartment building at some point.
"I didn't expect that either." Lulumalin said this with a strange sense of humor. "It turns out that we, Diyao, are the last 'empty nesters' in Building A."
Therefore, Lulumarin was more convinced than ever that joining up with Jiang Yunu was the right decision.
"If we stay there, we might end up becoming the 'old guard' of the apartment complex, and then watch it become an isolated island within the camp."
Jiang Yunu didn't take this opportunity to say anything playful or sentimental. She listened to Lulumarin thoughtfully the entire time. When Lulumarin paused, clearly awaiting their response, she said, "When we left Building B, there was no movement at Star Hunter Academy. Naiza Academy was previously invaded, but their floors were empty when we left the apartment building. There were mutants entrenched on Naiza's floors, and no trace of any students was found."
Of the eight league school teams in the camp, only three schools have fully assembled and are closely united.
Jiang Yunu told everything he could about the invasion of Naiza Academy. Jin Qing and a perceptive psychic from Romfei joined in the conversation, and both sides shared the details of their perceptive abilities at the time.
There are self-service vending machines and self-service drinking water stations on each floor of this training hall. Some players checked the inventory of all the vending machines and found a satisfactory amount of supplies that can sustain the players from the three schools for a longer period of time. The drinking water stations can also supply water normally.
All good news.
"The water circulation system here is still in good condition, which means that the bathroom facilities in the training hall can also be used." Xiao Yeli and Aoliang, together with a small team from Diyao College, have inspected all the bathrooms and then responded to the hall to announce the good news.
There was a burst of joy in the hall.
"Let's not disperse tonight. It's best to rest together overnight," said Sorok. "However, Zoe and I will later look for movable partitions in the training hall to create relatively private areas for everyone, ensuring a certain degree of privacy while everyone rests together."
The three teams worked together and soon opened up a "collective accommodation area" in the first-floor lobby.
For the students from Diyao College in the first district, this may be the most wonderful temporary dormitory they have ever lived in.
"Welcome to our joint dormitory of three schools." Jiang Yunu stood at the starting point of the dormitory and opened his arms.
She seemed quite self-sufficient, as if welcoming everyone to her humble abode.
A student from Diyao poked at the makeshift bed and lifted the disposable sheet, discovering a soft training mat from the practice room underneath. He looked around and saw that most of his teammates had already sat down with remarkable adaptability, acting quite happy with the idea of using a training mat as a bed. He followed suit and sat down, then discovered—
"Wow, more comfortable than I expected."
"Right?"
A reserved, low-decibel conversation was taking place in the "floor area" of Diyao College.
Jiang Yunu wandered over to the mats on the ground floor of Diyao Academy. No matter how quiet the conversation was, she could hear it. She smiled and stood aside to interject, "The mats in the practice room are of moderate thickness and provide support. The temperature and humidity balance system in the hall is also working well, so the mats won't get damp when laid on the ground. This makeshift bed is much more comfortable than a real hard bed."
Two members of the Diyao team had strange expressions on their faces. They seemed to want to ask Jiang Yunu what a "hard bed" was. Jiang Yunu's tone sounded so familiar with it, as if he had lived in that kind of accommodation, which sounded very poor.
Still out of reserve and sense of boundaries, the Di Yao team members did not ask any further questions.
It was still daytime when we went to the administrative building and the medical center. By the time the increasingly large team moved from the apartment area to the training hall and was busy settling them down, it was already late at night.
After discussion among Lulumarin, Sorok, Zoe, and Jiang Yunu who was somehow dragged here, they set up a duty roster and had students from the three schools take turns to keep watch.
When Lulumarin was holding the duty roster and preparing to notify the Diyao students who were on guard tonight, Jiang Yunu raised his arm and blocked her in front of him.
"Let's start using this watch tomorrow," the white-haired girl said. "Everyone is tired today, so let them rest as much as possible. I'll be guarding the door for the first night."
"You can't be alone," Zoe said quickly.
Captain Romfei also agreed with the idea of giving more ordinary players a rest, but he naturally joined the first day's night watch team.
So finally, the schedule will be implemented from tomorrow.
On guard tonight are Team Leader Jiang and three other captains.
They divided the work again, Jiang Yunu and Zoe in one group, and Lulumalin and Sorok in another.
The duty length is three and a half hours, covering the two periods of 0:00-3:30 and 3:30-7:00 respectively.
"Are you really not sleepy yet?" Lulumarin repeatedly asked the white-haired girl for confirmation, but the other party just shook her head affirmatively at her, with bright eyes and an upright posture, looking very energetic.
It was not yet midnight, and the energetic Jiang Yunu urged Lulumarin and Sorok to go to bed quickly.
She also said to Zoe: "You can take a nap for half an hour and come back later."
Romfei's captain raised his eyebrows: "Are you looking down on me?"
It was rare to see the other person show such an expression, so Jiang Yunu immediately denied it three times: "No, no, how is it possible?"
They started the night shift early.
The league camp was very quiet at night, and there was nothing unusual near the training hall. Only in the distance, there were faint rustling sounds, as if something was moving over there, but it was not clear, and it might be an auditory illusion caused by the wind.
Zoe is someone who can remain silent all day when she is alone, but when she partners with Jiang Yunu, she feels that not speaking is a sin.
"It still feels unreal." The quiet person took the initiative to find something to talk about. "Looking at the environment outside now, I feel like what I experienced during the day was a dream."
After hearing this, Jiang Yunu said bluntly, "You dreamed of quite a lot of people."
The white-haired girl spoke in a relaxed tone, immediately leading the originally dull topic into a more cheerful direction.
She seemed to have a built-in converter. Whether she was alertly exploring the environment, rigorously dealing with the enemy, or relaxing and adjusting the atmosphere, her mode could always be switched with one click. She seemed to be rarely affected by past events and emotions.
It was a skill Zoe envied.
Captain Romfeld was silent for a moment, then said without warning, "Thank you."
"Huh?" Jiang Yunu looked at him puzzledly. "Why are you thanking me? Thanking me for being so proactive and letting us both stand guard at the door half an hour early?"
She made a joke.
Zoe's expression remained serious. He said, "Thank you for being so resolute in making decisions and leading everyone to action. Otherwise, I might have hesitated and considered staying in the apartment building with the entire team and waiting for further notice."
If Romfei College also becomes an "old man in the apartment complex", then it will be much more difficult for them to ensure that the entire team can survive until rescue arrives than it was for Diyao College.
Jiang Yunu let out a soft "ah" and she didn't show any modesty.
She responded to Zoe's gratitude candidly: "You're welcome. You're great allies, too."
Even if Jiang Yunu was certain that her instinctive actions were correct, if her school happened to be clustered with other colleges with "strong sense of autonomy", she might not be able to transfer so many people smoothly.
Speaking of strong self-awareness, I can't help but think of the person who sent the first warning.
Jiang Yunu originally thought that she would need to spend a little more time, at least spend this night, to get new news from other college teams.
Unexpectedly, before she and Zoe switched shifts with Lulumarin and Solok, new information was automatically delivered to their door.
After two o'clock in the morning, a figure appeared about 20 meters outside the training hall's gate and slowly approached the building.
