Chapter 15: The Centipede
Every little thing was prepared, they usually had been about to set off when Zhu Hao requested, “The place’s Gu Ping?”
One other boy named Chang Junyan replied, “He simply went to the restroom. He must be again quickly.”
Chen Mu stated, “Let’s begin strolling slowly in direction of the exit and anticipate him there.”
Wei Dalei pushed the handcrafted skateboard made by Chen Mu and took the lead on the entrance.
The metallic elements made an eerie creaking sound as they rubbed towards one another, which sounded significantly loud within the quiet environment.
Nevertheless, simply as they had been about to achieve the door’s opening…
“Ah…!”
They heard Gu Ping’s determined cry from outdoors.
Everybody froze for a second, however Chen Mu was the primary to react and instantly rushed outdoors, his weapon, a spear, forming at his waist.
After they did not know what hazard they had been dealing with, long-range weapons appeared safer.
Wei Dalei slowed down for a second however rapidly ran forward as properly.
In his palms was a large wolf-tooth membership specifically crafted by Chen Mu, and the iron spikes on it had been sufficient to terrify anybody.
Though Wei Dalei began a bit later than Chen Mu, his strength-enhanced physique allowed him to run at a pace surpassing that of a mean particular person.
In any case, the supply of pace finally got here from energy.
Wei Dalei caught up and handed Chen Mu within the blink of a watch.
Chen Mu hurriedly shouted, “Previous Wei, do not rush up. Assess the scenario first.”
Upon listening to Gu Ping’s plea for assist, Chen Mu had already ready for the worst. Although they had been simply classmates, even when their relationship wasn’t that nice, he could not be detached. He was prepared to assist if it was just some ants, however he did not need to danger their lives if it turned out to be bigger animals like rats or frogs.
He was the primary to hurry out as a result of he did not need others to take pointless dangers, however he had forgotten about Wei Dalei, the reckless man.
By the point he tried to remind him, it was too late.
Wei Dalei had already charged by means of the door opening.
Nevertheless, as quickly as he received outdoors, Wei Dalei all of a sudden froze, trying on the scene in entrance of him in shock.
Chen Mu adopted just a few seconds later, and when he noticed what lay forward, he was additionally surprised.
However he solely stood there for a second earlier than hurriedly pulling Wei Dalei again, yelling to Chang Junyan and Zhu Hao, who had simply come out, “Return, do not look!”
Gu Ping’s loss of life had sparked nice unease among the many group. Even Chen Mu felt a bit scared.
To be trustworthy, luck had performed a giant half of their survival to date.
Leaving the restroom outdoors the door was one thing nearly everybody had finished, however sadly, Gu Ping was simply unfortunate sufficient to come across a centipede.
Taking a look at it this manner, the thought of standing guard at evening was merely self-deception. Only a few crickets and centipedes can be sufficient to wipe out these folks.
Resistance appeared meaningless.
“Will that centipede are available?” somebody requested anxiously. Because it occurred on the door, it was a chance.
“It in all probability… simply ate and must be full now.”
This response appeared a bit heartless, nevertheless it’s onerous accountable anybody for being egocentric. On this setting, it is pure for folks to place their very own survival first, particularly when Gu Ping did not have significantly shut relationships with anybody.
Alternatively, Wei Dalei, who had conflicts with Gu Ping, was stuffed with regret in the intervening time.
“Chen Mu, what’s your plan?” Dong Junwei requested.
Chen Mu fell silent for a second and stated, “We nonetheless want to maneuver the stuff. To be trustworthy, staying right here is simply as harmful as going out. We will not preserve hiding right here ceaselessly; that is a loss of life sentence too.”
“So… the plan stays the identical?”
“I recommend all of us stick collectively,” Chen Mu stated after pondering for some time.
Dong Junwei rapidly understood what Chen Mu meant.
If the boys who went out encountered hazard, the remaining ladies had nearly no means to guard themselves, and they might doubtless endure a gradual loss of life. It was higher to stay collectively and enhance one another’s braveness.
Dong Junwei nodded in settlement and requested everybody, “What do you all assume?”
Zhao Xiaoyan, Du Jiajia, and others thought concerning the place the place Gu Ping was eaten by the centipede on the door, they usually did not need to keep alone right here in any respect. All of them agreed resoundingly.
This group of scholars from Class 4 in Grade 12 initially had 11 members, however after Luo Hui and Gu Ping’s deaths, solely 9 remained.
Chen Mu counted the folks and felt a way of disappointment seeing that there weren’t even double digits left.
Who can be the subsequent one?
Although mortals would finally die, in instances like these, the human survival intuition grew to become even stronger than in peaceable instances.
Life is unpredictable.
Who might have imagined that the identical group of highschool college students who had been simply discussing about bathroom paper would now be dealing with life-and-death challenges?
