Help, I've become a paper man

If someone had told Song Yi a day ago, no, an hour ago, that eating was a painful thing, he would have doubted the other person's intentions, but at this moment, he truly experienced the feeling of not being able to eat, not wanting to eat, but having to eat.

It's a really hard time.

Not only him, even Mu Yun was shaking slightly and looked a little dazed. Even the protagonists were with them in this situation, enduring the pain together.

Song Yi looked at Mu Yun and suddenly realized something. He was originally wondering if it was his bad luck that had implicated his teammates, but since Mu Yun was here, it might be just the opposite.

It could also be that Mu Yun had implicated them.

Song Yi once again poked Noah's Ark and asked in his heart: "Which possibility do you think is more likely?"

He did not answer immediately, as if his nerves were also paralyzed. After a few seconds, a familiar voice sounded, mechanically playing a reply.

"All people in the world are in a sea of ​​suffering."

Song Yi was stunned and stood there for a moment, unable to react. The next moment, a loud bell rang, followed by the voice of the radio, announcing the end of "lunch".

Jasmine stood up and picked up the goat. As the crowd moved, they had already blended in with them. Song Yi just came to his senses when Mu Yun reached out to him.

It was as if I wanted to wake him up before leaving, and also as if I wanted to take him with me.

Song Yi raised his hand without thinking, and his palm collided with Mu Yun's, giving him a high-five.

Both of them were stunned, then pulled their hands back together, as if nothing had happened. They moved with the crowd and rushed towards the door.

However, after arriving, they did not go out immediately. Instead, because of the noise, the two of them stopped temporarily and looked outside. There were many people who did the same as them, including Jasmine and the other two.

Song Yi saw their backs, touched Mu Yun with his arm, and raised his chin slightly in the direction of Jasmine, signaling her to follow.

Mu Yun understood instantly, and the two of them pushed through the crowd. In just a few seconds, they were next to their teammates. The four of them standing together could better protect each other's safety, but as for the current situation, they still had only a vague understanding.

After all, the noise was here, and they knew there was chaos outside, but the specific situation and cause were still unknown.

Song Yi patted the boy in front of him on the shoulder, took a step closer and asked, "Brother, do you know what happened outside?"

His chatter was extremely expert, and the other party was stunned for a few seconds before reacting. She turned to look at him with no expression on her face.

Or to put it more bluntly, this person's movements were stiff, and his pale face was filled with death. Even his facial features seemed too wooden, and there was no trace of a living person.

Song Yi froze, turned his wrist, and turned the person back, saying:

"It's okay, take a rest, I got the wrong person."

His movements were smooth, fast and time-saving. In the tense atmosphere, they were still eye-catching enough. The people behind him saw it and stepped back, away from the front row.

Song Yi did not retreat, and the other three naturally accompanied him. The four of them stood in place, maintaining the original distance, and observed the "classmates" in front of them.

At first glance, I discovered the problem. Those "classmates" were indeed different from living people. Those with long hair were not easy to find, but those with short hair would reveal the back of their necks. They had unnatural skin color, stiff bodies, and skin that did not rise and fall with breathing.

Finally, Song Yi concluded in his mind that... it didn't look like he was alive.

The four of them looked at each other again and communicated with their eyes. They all agreed that "the clues have been collected" and that it was time to leave. After all, in the past two minutes, it had become more lively outside.

There were fewer cries and shouts, but correspondingly, there were more curses and collisions. If it wasn't an accident, fights had already broken out in other places.

Here, apart from the scare just now, nothing else strange happened. Also, because there were so many people, there was an uncomfortable atmosphere of "comfort".

Song Yi took a breath and stopped waiting. He raised his right foot and was about to step out the door, but he felt a force from behind and was pushed forward.

He was caught off guard and his body tilted over. At the critical moment, Song Yi twisted his body, said "sorry" in his heart, followed the force, pushed away the person in front of him, and then ran forward.

During the process, some accidents happened. Song Yi did not expect that those classmates were not only "not like living people", but also too strong and terribly solid. Song Yi was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to curse, he felt a strong sense of crisis.

Screams and crying sounds were heard behind me, but in a flash, the cafeteria was in chaos. Some students wanted to go in, some rushed out, and there were also people at the door, so it was a mess.

Song Yi just turned his head and glanced, without time to look again. He subconsciously turned sideways, and while staggering, he grabbed the hand that was extended to him and pulled the other person forward together.

The distance was not far. They ran a few meters before slowing down and stopping at the edge of the green belt. There was an awkward moment of two seconds when they looked at each other.

Mu Yun was holding a bag of buns, Mo Li was carrying a goat, and Song Yi was holding a strange boy...

"Where did you get the buns?" Song Yi asked as he let go of his hand, still having time to gossip about Mu Yun.

Mu Yun smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems like someone stuffed it into my pocket in the crowd."

Song Yi asked: "You hugged him subconsciously?"

There was teasing and interest in his words. He leaned over and was about to take a closer look when Jasmine patted his arm.

She asked, "Wait a minute, I'll bring out food, it's a small matter, let's talk about yours first, why are you bringing someone out?"

Jasmine really couldn't understand it. Not only her, but the other two didn't understand it either. Three pairs of eyes stared at Song Yi, filled with doubts and questions.

Song Yi smiled awkwardly, but it was hard to explain. After all, he couldn't say that he was suddenly pushed and was about to curse when he found that the cafeteria was in chaos. When he didn't know whether the other party was "saving him" or simply "escaping", he subconsciously...

"It's a person." The boy suddenly said, instantly attracting attention, and four pairs of eyes looked at him.

Wait? Eyes?!

Song Yi stared at this man and slowly backed away. He didn't notice it at the time, but only now realized that the boy's eyeballs were pure black, with no whites, which looked weird and scary.

"Wait, brother, you really don't look like a human being," Song Yi said.

The boy ignored the words, turned around slowly, and walked away without any intention of staying.

They exchanged glances briefly, and no one suggested following, nor did they raise any questions. In the uncertainty, the four let the boy leave, and then followed the road towards the noisy and intense area, but did not enter.

Just from the outskirts, one could already see human-shaped creatures appearing on the playground, in the woods, and in places where there were people.

The reason why I use the word "thing" to describe it is because of its appearance. Apart from the general shape, there is no similarity between them. In fact, compared to it, the boy just now looks more like a human.

But if you think about it from another angle, these things are also similar to the teenager. After certain conditions are met, the copy will start to release fixed monsters.

Jasmine whispered, "Let's wait and take action at night."

This is a euphemism for saying it, but it actually means "hide, don't take part in the fight, wait for another time and see what happens."

Song Yi nodded readily, and lowered his voice in cooperation, saying:

"Okay, we still have dry food, so don't worry about dinner. Let me thank Comrade Muyun first."
