Chapter 21
When Kou Man heard this, he didn't ask why. He immediately took Wei Xiaoyan and a few other girls and jumped onto the low wall. He saw what was happening on the other side.
Coleman's eyes widened in shock.
Although they had been in this world for several days, this was the first time they had seen such a terrible scene.
As soon as they climbed onto the wall, the nozzles on the girls' side began to spray out the sticky red liquid one after another.
A few children were slow to hide and were drenched, and began to melt, screaming.
The nozzle was still spraying out the red liquid, and soon the floor of the bathhouse was covered in blood. All the children who were still on the ground had been assimilated into the sticky liquid.
There was limited space up high, and some children who didn't have time to climb up immediately slid down the pipe while holding on to it and screaming, "Save me! Save me!"
When Yu Leng saw that there were a few normal children, he couldn't help but feel sympathetic and wanted to help them.
On another pipe, a child had already grabbed a classmate who looked normal but was constantly asking for help.
But at the moment he grabbed him, the child screamed in pain and melted quickly.
The one on top was also contaminated and began to scream.
In this way, the red liquid contaminated the entire pipeline.
The children who were originally in a safe place were all infected within a few seconds, leaving only the screaming and distorted liquid.
Some fell into the sea of blood below, while others twisted on the pipes, trying to crawl along the tubes to reach the others.
c, this thing actually has intelligence!
Knowing that the virus is hidden but not released, and releasing the source of infection that has not yet become ill into a safe population, more people can be infected at the fastest speed.
Yu Leng witnessed the whole process and was stunned. He withdrew his hand that wanted to help his classmate: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The sewer system has been blocked and the water level in the bathhouse is rising.
Lu Jiamu was not next to Yu Leng and the others, and the place where he was standing was not the highest point in the bathhouse.
Lu Jiamu quickly glanced around to understand the situation of the pipes above the bathroom, and then found that the place where he was was isolated and not directly connected to the higher pipes.
The adjacent pipes are quite far away, so you can only jump over them, which is risky. Moreover, they are lower, so there is a possibility that the liquid will overflow halfway through.
But if he doesn't cross, as the water level rises, he will soon lose all his chances and be trapped on an isolated island, facing greater danger, and can only wait to be gradually submerged.
Safety is only temporary.
After Lu Jiamu discovered this, he decided to take action immediately without much hesitation or entanglement, and put together several feasible routes in his mind.
Lu Jiamu quickly weighed the options and selected the best route.
The pipe was not the closest to him, but it was at the right height, so that his jump would not be too difficult, nor would he be submerged as soon as he jumped on it.
He looked at the pipe, measured it in his mind, then without much hesitation, stretched out his arms, stood up, and jumped with all his strength.
Yu Leng thought he was going to jump down and commit suicide, and was shocked: "What are you doing?!"
Although this action was very risky, Lu Jiamu successfully landed on a pipe in front of him and tried his best to grab anything he could. After shaking violently for a while, he managed to keep his center of gravity and escaped from the situation of being trapped on an isolated island.
The red liquid was only about forty or fifty centimeters away from his feet.
Seeing Lu Jiamu coming down, they surged and agitated violently like waves, stretching out their tentacles to try to grab Lu Jiamu and infect him as well.
But Lu Jiamu had successfully stabilized it and did not let the liquid succeed.
He stood up slowly and carefully, stretched out his arms again, looked down, and walked on the water pipe, just like he had practiced tightrope walking in class before.
The water level of the blood sea below continued to rise, surging and turbulently, trying to drag Lu Jiamu into it.
Several small pipes nearby had broken because they could not bear the force inside, and sticky liquid kept seeping out, speeding up the rise of the water level.
A few children were splashed because of their awkward positions, and they fell into the sea of blood with screams. They were swallowed up and assimilated in an instant, surging along with the blood.
Lu Jiamu looked at the horrible purgatory scene under his feet, but his heart was not moved at all. Even though the liquid was about to touch his feet, he just walked forward steadily with an expressionless face.
Yu Leng felt frightened and distressed when he saw this, and didn't dare to disturb him anymore.
"What should we do?"
Coleman had also realized that the water level would continue to rise and that the low wall they were standing on would not be enough to hold out for long, so he immediately took action.
Fortunately, they were in a better position than Lu Jiamu and could jump to other platforms more easily without taking such a big risk.
Lu Jiamu finished walking through the pipe and climbed to a higher place just before the liquid touched him.
Everywhere he had passed was flooded with sticky red liquid, blocking the passage.
Lu Jiamu jumped onto the next pipe, getting closer to them, and said the horrible truth in a flat tone: "The door may have been locked from the outside. This is not an ordinary ghost. They have given up on us and hope we will die in here."
I don't know when it started, but in addition to the screams, the sound of waves, and the hissing sound of leaking water, alarms have been ringing through the sky.
The teachers and students outside must know what happened here, but they have no intention of lending a helping hand.
The realization of being abandoned is more terrifying than seeing a ghost.
But Lu Jiamu was not surprised.
Such a strong infectious ability fits the school's description of a level 4 ghost.
They were completely different from the little ghosts they had encountered before that could only scare people and talk. They could quickly create a ghost area, which was very tricky.
If it's not handled properly, the whole school will be ruined. And they are just ordinary kids, what can't be sacrificed?
But this kind of thing should only be available outside of school.
Isn't there some powerful sealed object on campus? A top-level security base? How could they just let it in?
Lu Jiamu could already hear Yu Leng muttering in despair: "I'm just taking a bath... I'm just taking a bath... I'm just taking a bath..."
"What a damn school." Wang Biao's eyes flashed with cruelty, "If we don't find a way to get out quickly, we will all have to stay here today."
He turned around and looked at Lu Jiamu who was walking towards him, and asked cautiously, "You didn't touch me, did you?"
After hearing this, Lu Jiamu paused, looked up at him, slowly smiled, and shook his head: "No, I was very careful."
Wang Biao was skeptical after hearing this.
He walked from such a distance, and was almost touched by the liquid tentacles several times. With their naked eyes, they could not completely determine whether Lu Jiamu had any contact with it.
Maybe Lu Jiamu was splashed a little accidentally, but he didn't know it yet.
They had just witnessed the intelligence and trickery of the liquid, and now the people who had been deceived were still flowing back and forth below.
Lu Jiamu knew what he was worried about. He didn't want to join in the fun, nor did he want to be pushed down by any of the excited kids.
So he stopped with a smile when he was still a few steps away from them: "Ventilation duct."
