Chapter 28
The librarian immediately said, "It's so chaotic underwater, so densely packed and messy, how can I see what's inside?"
Lu Jiamu had completely lost his most basic respect for his teacher. He had moved the cross in his left hand to his right hand and was holding the iron box with his free hand, as if he was ready to throw him out if anything went wrong.
The librarian took back more of the complaints she was about to say: "You will definitely die if you stand by the water for too long."
Lu Jiamu walked slowly toward the lake and asked, "Why are they stationed here?"
The librarian replied, "For some reason, they had run out of water they brought with them. If they didn't go get some water, they would die of thirst."
So they stayed at the water they desired most, but because of the environment, they knew there might be monsters in the water and they dared not actually touch the water surface, so they could only watch and not get there.
Lu Jiamu walked to the lake and slowly and carefully picked up the kettle that the previous child had already filled.
The adult man by the fire pointed his gun at him again and said, "Fill the other one with water and bring it back."
Lu Jiamu asked: "One is not enough?"
The man thought a little anxiously that if Lu Jiamu was also dragged away by the monster in the water, then perhaps they would not even be able to get the first kettle.
Then he said, "Throw the one in your hand first!"
Lu Jiamu tightened the bottle cap and threw it over as he said, then picked up the second kettle while holding the iron box.
He held the iron box in a non-serious manner, as if he might accidentally drop the box into the water at any time.
The two eyeballs trembled in the box, then turned their attention to the water surface.
He finally discovered that this brat was not only extremely courageous and a little clever, but also had no respect for his teachers and was deliberately making fun of him.
He looked for a while and said, "There is a big fish weaving a net on the shore. If you try to fetch water from your original position, you will definitely be dragged away."
After hearing this, Lu Jiamu steadied his hand holding the iron box and walked to the side before lowering his body to get some water.
In the dark lake water, it seemed as if something dark was intertwined.
The librarian began to chant: "Here it comes, here it comes..."
With the trial and error of the previous child, Lu Jiamu already had some confidence about what was coming.
Upon hearing this, he immediately withdrew his hands that were splashing water, squinted his eyes to see for a moment, and then took the initiative to attack and poked the Tai Chi sword into the water.
Teacher Gao had not lied to him when he said this was a direct attack weapon. A piece of the black silk in the water was cut off. The black silk trembled, and the entire water surface seemed to be boiling.
A strange big face suddenly appeared beneath the dark and silent water surface, approaching the water surface at an extremely fast speed.
Lu Jiamu was already wary of this situation, and when he saw this face, he immediately rolled to the side with the kettle in his arms.
A huge, ugly fish with human-like limbs rushed out of the water with its bloody mouth open, and suddenly rose to a height of more than two meters.
Because Lu Jiamu rolled too fast, the strange fish didn't bite him.
Lu Jiamu didn't observe the fish for long, he got up and started running wildly.
The strange fish was unwilling to let him go, so it climbed onto the shore and chased him relentlessly with its strange limbs.
The adults around the fire were frightened again, fearing that the strange fish would rush in front of them, so they began to attack the strange fish indiscriminately.
As soon as Lu Jiamu saw the way they were holding their guns, he knew something was wrong. As soon as they saw the monster, they seemed to have lost their minds and stopped aiming.
He immediately fell forward to the ground, and the fire brushed past his head and hit the strange fish.
Fortunately, this strange fish was only a good ambusher, not the type to fight head-on. When it was attacked by fire, it was not immediately enraged, but gave up Lu Jiamu, turned around and ran back, and soon jumped into the water in panic under the fire.
Lu Jiamu lay on the ground and waited for a while. Seeing that the people over there seemed to have calmed down completely, he stared at them and slowly stood up. He patted the dirt on his body, picked up the first kettle that he had thrown back, and then walked back to the fire.
The adult man in the lead said again: "You, drink a sip!"
Lu Jiamu first asked in a low voice: "Is this water drinkable?"
"How should I know? I'm just a librarian, not a chemist." The librarian said unhappily, "I'll know after you drink it."
The man started shouting excitedly again: "Or I'll kill you!"
To be honest, the bottled water that was initially collected from the equipment room could not last very long, and there was not much hand washing water stored in the library.
In fact, Lu Jiamu hadn't had water for a while and was very thirsty.
There are only a few possibilities after drinking this water: nothing happens, you get diarrhea, or you turn into a ghost.
Considering that this was the water source that the adults had been coveting for some time, he didn't seem to be that pitiful no matter what the outcome.
Lu Jiamu licked the corners of his dry lips and smiled: "Okay."
After saying that, he unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back and drank it in big gulps.
The man by the fire started cursing again: "You little bastard, I told you to have a sip!"
But Lu Jiamu had already drunk half of the water in the kettle in one breath.
"Wouldn't it be more effective if I drank more first?"
If you have to say so, it does make some sense.
The man had no choice but to say, "Then give me the two pots now."
Lu Jiamu threw the pot to them. The people by the fire took it but did not drink from it immediately. Instead, they observed Lu Jiamu carefully from a distance.
After fifteen minutes, when they found that Lu Jiamu was just sitting there quietly without any abnormality, they hurriedly began to take turns drinking water.
Although those people's work style was really bad before, they still kept their promise and threw two bags of compressed biscuits to them after they finished drinking the water.
Most of the children hadn't eaten for several days and were so hungry that they didn't even feel hungry.
Lu Jiamu picked up the biscuits and shared them equally among several people. Everyone was very happy.
There were six people, three men and three women, sitting by the fire. The drinkable water undoubtedly calmed their tension and anxiety, making them no longer as neurotic as before.
One of the women looked at the children and whispered to her companion: "They are just a few ordinary children. It must be extraordinary that they have survived until now."
The remaining adults nodded in agreement.
Then she asked, "Where are you from, kids?"
Lu Jiamu's face was full of innocence and he answered every question: "We are students of this school. We were in the teaching building at first, then went to the library, and only came out this morning."
The woman immediately asked, "What's the situation at the library now?"
Lu Jiamu shook his head, indicating that it was not very good: "We want to go to the principal's building. I heard that there is a core seal there, which is the safest."
The woman nodded when she heard this: "We want to go there too."
Lu Jiamu looked at their faces calmly and began to quickly speculate in his mind.
They said they came from another base. They had no water, but food and firepower seemed to be sufficient. It was probably because they had just been out for a short time, but something happened on the way, resulting in the loss of some of the water they carried.
They looked as frightened as trembling chickens, they must be very helpless and psychologically fragile. They also said they were trapped, but there didn't seem to be anything scary here.
They may not only be out of water, but also lost because they are unfamiliar with the environment. People of this type can also work in a team without expecting them to have any kindness.
So Lu Jiamu promoted himself: "I know the way there, and I am familiar with the campus."
The woman's eyes moved and she asked back in a flat tone: "Oh? Really?"
Although she didn't seem to have any emotion, expression master Lu Jiamu could tell from her subtle changes that she was very interested, and he knew he was right.
"Of course." He nodded sincerely, "Otherwise why would we dare to come out."
That makes sense.
The woman pointed at Lu Jiamu's pocket and said, "Who is that?"
Lu Jiamu was naive and unsuspecting, so he took out the small iron box from his pocket and asked, "This one?"
The woman nodded.
The librarian teacher is fundamentally different from Mr. Gao and Mr. Wen. He doesn't care about them. He just wants to go to a safe base.
If the librarian establishes a good relationship with these adults, then they will be of no use other than being cannon fodder.
"This is our librarian." Lu Jiamu gently stroked the iron box, his face full of compassion. "When something unexpected happened on campus, we were trapped in the teaching building. It was the librarian who rushed over to save us, but he was left with only a pair of eyes. He is a good teacher, so I picked him up again."
The six adults began to become alert after hearing this.
From Lu Jiamu's words, we can extract information such as "the librarian teacher was attacked by a ghost and seemed to be dead."
It is impossible to tell whether this is a ghost just from the appearance of the eyeballs, but the six adults have given up the idea of obtaining the eyeballs.
After all, ghost stories are completely unbelievable. Even if some ghosts seem to be able to communicate rationally on the surface, it only increases their danger.
The librarian jumped up and said, "What are you talking about?! Are you making up a story?"
Lu Jiamu's face was full of an expression of "Did I say something wrong?"
