Chapter 7: Mountain climbing Journey

After everybody had completed consuming, Dong Junwei gathered everybody once more.

“So, Tang Jing, Chen Mu, and I mentioned it earlier. We really feel that staying within the classroom isn’t a long-term answer. We must always enterprise outdoors and discover one other secure spot. What do you all suppose?”

“Why? Would not it’s higher to remain within the classroom and look forward to another person to rescue us? It could possibly be much more harmful on the market. Any random chicken might simply swoop down and snatch us away.”

Clearly, everybody was deeply troubled by Luo Hui being taken away by a swallow.

Dong Junwei sighed, “It has been over a day since we shrank. If somebody was coming to rescue us, they’d have performed so by now. The dearth of any response suggests that everybody else has shrunk like us. Who do you suppose would have the time to come back and save us?”

Everybody fell silent, feeling a bit disheartened.

“And moreover, essentially the most essential problem is that there isn’t any meals within the classroom,” Dong Junwei continued.

“However we’ve got cake! We will eat it for a very long time,” somebody chimed in.

“Remember, it is summer season now. With out refrigeration, the cake will go unhealthy in simply a few days.”

“There’s additionally an even bigger drawback – water,” Tang Jing added.

She did not point out it earlier, however as quickly as she introduced up water, everybody, together with Chen Mu, felt their mouths parched.

“We have now a water dispenser within the classroom,” somebody known as out.

“The water dispenser remains to be too excessive. Do you anticipate Chen Mu to climb up once more?” Dong Junwei mentioned.

Tang Jing added, “Even when we handle to climb up, water will not final so long as cake. How can we carry it down? If we spill it on the bottom, can we even drink it?”

As everybody contemplated, they realized the validity of those issues.

“So, for now, it appears the one alternative is to depart the classroom,” Dong Junwei concluded.

“However the place ought to we go?”

“That is the place we’d like everybody’s concepts and brainstorming.”

As soon as once more, silence fell upon the group.

Tang Jing spoke up, “I have to remind you all that we won’t keep right here any longer. With a lot cake on the bottom, it’s going to quickly turn into a paradise for ants and numerous bugs. Coping with one or two ants is already troublesome for us, but when they arrive in massive teams, we’d find yourself changing into their meals.”

Everybody shivered in response.

“Do not scare us like that! Nobody mentioned we’re not leaving,” somebody retorted.

“Class monitor, do you may have a plan? We’ll simply observe your lead.”

Dong Junwei glanced at Tang Jing and Chen Mu.

Tang Jing appeared ready and mentioned, “First, we have to discover an indoor location to guard us from solar and rain, and it is best to have a steady meals supply…”The origin of this chapter’s debut could be traced to N0v3l–B1n.

The sky was clear and huge.

For Chen Mu and the others, the sky now appeared increased and broader, making them really feel even smaller.

Although they have been on the bottom flooring, there have been two steps between the classroom flooring and the hallway outdoors.

Fortunately, there was a ramp close by, which they may use to get down. In any other case, the thirty-centimeter-high steps would have been like a wall for them.

“I am questioning how the scholars within the upstairs lecture rooms will come down,” Wei Dalei all of the sudden thought out loud.

“And people on the grassy subject of the playground, there have to be so many bugs and issues there…” somebody added.

As quickly as this was talked about, everybody felt uneasy.

Chen Mu, Tang Jing, and Dong Junwei exchanged glances, then turned away on the identical time.

Clearly, the three of them had already thought of this problem.

However the reply was destined to be tragic.

As a result of they have been completely powerless, they tacitly prevented discussing it.

For now, they may solely say, “We’re all separated, and we won’t assist them. We will solely pray that somebody amongst them awakens highly effective talents and leads the others out of hassle.”

This was only a comforting thought, and everybody understood that.

On this post-apocalyptic world, loss of life had turn into all too commonplace.

Simply take into consideration Luo Hui.

For a second, everybody felt disappointment and sorrow weighing closely on their hearts.

“Fortunately, we nonetheless have likelihood of survival,” Dong Junwei knew they could not let the crew proceed being pessimistic, so she modified the topic, saying, “Let’s push ourselves tougher; it is solely about six or seven kilometers to go. Let’s attempt to attain our vacation spot earlier than it will get darkish.”

It was midday, and the bottom was scorching sizzling. The trail from the classroom to the cafeteria was all concrete, making it even hotter.

However, Tang Jing insisted on persevering with right now as a result of ants and bugs would additionally discover it sizzling, which made it safer for them.

With the considered presumably changing into meals for ants, nobody complained concerning the warmth anymore.

Nonetheless, irrespective of how properly they thought of issues, actuality was nonetheless unpredictable.

As they got here down the slope and turned the nook, they have been confronted by a monstrous creature mendacity throughout their path, resembling an enormous python.

“Holy… a giant… snake!”

A number of individuals turned and ran in fright.

Though Chen Mu was additionally scared, he tried to stay composed and shouted, “Do not be afraid, it is only a worm.”
