Survivor's Guide to Survival

Chapter 5 Black Quicksand

The fact that there was an extra key made the three of them feel chills down their spines, and they stood still for a while, not daring to act rashly.

There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and not long after, the auntie who had been here just now came down again, seeing the three of them standing at the top of the stairs, she frowned: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the room and try not to come out? "

Guo Lu rubbed his belly in embarrassment: "Auntie, we are a little hungry without breakfast, so we will go to the cafeteria instead of going to other places."

"Don't go," the aunt still frowned, "I didn't say that the circuit was repaired, and the cafeteria was closed this morning."

"Ah? Then when will the cafeteria open?" Guo Lu pursed his lips, "I'm really hungry..."

The aunt thought for a while, then turned around and walked downstairs: "I still have a few packs of compressed biscuits in there, you take them to cushion your stomach first, and then go out after the circuit is repaired."

Guo Lu was overjoyed, and thanked his aunt repeatedly: "Thank you, auntie! You are such a good person!"

Unlike Guo Lu, who only knows how to be silly, the two boys standing behind him exchanged worried looks, and Li Haipeng gently tugged at the corner of Huo Yizhou's clothes, and said to him: "Huo Yizhou, don't you think it's a bit strange... just If the circuit is being repaired, why do we have to stay in the dormitory and not go out?"

Huo Yizhou whispered: "It's very strange, but Auntie is right, let's stay in the dormitory for the time being." After all, the dormitory is the safest place when you don't know anything about the outside situation.

So the three of them took a few bags of compressed biscuits from the dormitory aunt and returned to the dormitory again.Huo Yizhou thought about his empty dormitory, and decided to stay with Guo Lu and Li Haipeng.

The sun had completely risen at this time, and the sunlight shone through the window on Guo Lu's bed, which looked extremely warm.Guo Lu sat on the stool and devoured the compressed biscuits. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Huo Yizhou drinking cold water from a cup, and handed him a carton of milk: "Xiao Zhou, drink less cold water in the morning and drink some milk."

Huo Yizhou thanked him, took the milk and poked it into the straw to take a sip, looked up to see Li Haipeng staring at the milk box in his hand with longing and jealous eyes, subconsciously shook the milk box: "Do you want to drink?"

Li Haipeng coughed, sighed and pushed the box back: "I am lactose intolerant, and I have not been able to drink milk since I was a child."

"So unlucky," Guo Lu blurted out a sentence, and realized that it seemed inappropriate, he quickly corrected, "It's okay, the happy water in the fat house is also delicious! When the circuit is repaired, I will carry a box of Coke Please drink!"

Li Haipeng himself didn't care anymore, he waved his hands and said with a smile, "That's good, I'll just wait for your Coke."

The three of them stayed in the dormitory without electricity, and they didn't know what to do for a while.In the end, Guo Lu took out a pack of playing cards from the corner, and the three played Doudizhu.

After more than an hour, there was almost no room for sticking stickers on Guo Lu's face, so the activity was declared over.Guo Lu raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and stood up, hugging his iPad sharply: "I downloaded the complete works of "Crayon Shin-chan" on my pad! Fortunately, I fully charged it before going to bed yesterday! It will be no problem to last until noon!" So , under the leadership of Guo Lu, the three big boys nestled in a dormitory early in the morning and watched "Crayon Shin-chan".

Li Haipeng and Guo Lu are relatively easy-going in their bones, and soon immersed in the cheerful plot, only Huo Yizhou can't get into the mood for a long time.In his mind, the app that suddenly appeared on the phone and the key that suddenly appeared alternately, which made him feel extremely uneasy.

Huo Yizhou lowered his head and turned on the screen of the phone, only to find that the phone was still in a state of no signal, and the phone's battery level displayed in the upper right corner was always 100%, but it had lost its role as a communication tool.He tried to poke various apps on the phone, and every app that relied on the operating company was blank when he clicked on it. Only the Survivor Survival Guide that appeared out of thin air this morning could run normally.

Warning box: Kiss, don’t look at me like this, my face will turn into a red apple~

Huo Yizhou pressed the lock screen button expressionlessly, put the phone back in his pocket, and joined the ranks of watching the sand sculpture animation.

After watching the ordinary daily chapter, Guo Lu opened the theater version and invited everyone to watch it together. The three of them spent the rest of the day watching "Crayon Shin-chan" in the small dormitory. When they were hungry, they ate a few compressed bites. Biscuits to satisfy hunger.It wasn't until the iPad issued a red alarm that the battery was low that the three of them realized that the time had already reached the afternoon.

"Why hasn't the circuit been repaired yet..." Guo Lu picked up the charger and plugged it into the socket to try it out, but found that there was no electricity. On the brick mobile phone.

Li Haipeng yawned, turned around and climbed into his bed: "I'll sleep for a while, call me when the call comes."

"The buddies in the dormitory next door who are going to live broadcast every afternoon finally don't get to broadcast today." Li Haipeng's tone could not hide his gloating, "I have to seize today's opportunity and go to sleep, and I will suffer again when the circuit is repaired tomorrow." .”

As Li Haipeng said, he covered the quilt and closed his eyes. After a while, thunderous snoring sounded in the dormitory.

"It's okay to fall asleep in a second..." Guo Lu commented mutteringly, and turned to Huo Yizhou, "Xiaozhou, what shall we do next? I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night after sleeping too much now."

Huo Yizhou didn't answer him, but just stood there with a bad face.

"Xiaozhou? Huo Yizhou? Huo Yizhou's classmate?" Guo Lu called again, seeing that Huo Yizhou still didn't respond, he spread his five fingers and waved in front of his eyes.Only then did Huo Yizhou come back to his senses, and he turned to look at Guo Lu in a daze.

Guo Lu asked him curiously: "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly go into a daze just now?"

"Lu Zi," Huo Yizhou carefully chose his words, "Since getting up today, have you met other people on our level?"

As soon as Huo Yizhou's question came out, Guo Lu's expression also changed, and he shook his head with an ugly expression: "No."

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, not only was there no movement in the bedroom next door, which was the loudest on weekdays, there was not even a single person walking in the corridor, as if there were only three of them left on the whole floor.Could it be that the remaining dozen or so boys didn't come back collectively?

"No, we can't wait any longer!" Huo Yizhou said to Guo Lu, "I'll go to the next few dormitories to see."

Guo Lu grabbed his coat and followed his friend's pace: "I'll go with you."

The two walked out of the dormitory, first walked to the 618 next door, and knocked on the door. Huo Yizhou almost exhausted all his strength to knock on the door. While doing so, he shouted the names of the boys in the 618 dormitory, but 5 minutes passed, and there was still no waiting. The person who came to answer the door, the two had no choice but to give up and run to the 617 dormitory opposite.

617, 616, 615... The door knocked one after another, but no one came to open it. Huo Yizhou's heart sank continuously.

Finally, standing at the door of 601, Huo Yizhou weakly put down the back of his hand that was a little red and swollen.He took a few steps back and slowly leaned his back against the wall, pinching the wrist of his right hand with his left hand and rubbing it, without any expression on his face: "Let's go, go back."

A whole floor, except for the three of them, no one really came back.

No, no!Huo Yizhou remembered the pair of trousers that belonged to his roommate that he tripped over in the haze in the morning, his eyes froze, he rushed to the 619 dormitory, and opened the dormitory door tremblingly.

Entering his dormitory again with sufficient light, Huo Yizhou saw that the situation in the dormitory had undergone some subtle changes—the two beds by the door were still extremely clean, and the two beds by the balcony, one of which belonged to My own is not messy, but the bed of the roommate who threw his pants on the ground and almost tripped him was actually covered with a pile of black sand-like objects.

What's with this sand?Huo Yizhou approached his dormmate's bed, reached out and grabbed a handful of them, observed them carefully, and found that they were only different in color from the yellow sand he had seen in the school sandpit.

Guo Lu walked in slowly, belatedly, and saw Huo Yizhou standing beside his roommate's bed, holding a handful of black sand in a daze, he was startled: "Xiao Zhou, did your roommate offend you? Why did you go to someone else's bed?" What about pouring sand?"

Huo Yizhou spread his five fingers, and the black sand slowly leaked back onto the bed sheet from between his fingers, and said to Guo Lu, "I didn't pour it."

"Then this is...?" Guo Lu was even more confused, "Yesterday, Gu Dabao fell asleep without taking a shower after rolling in the sand?"

Before Huo Yizhou complained about his strange ideas, Guo Lu himself denied his own thoughts: "It's not right, Gu Dabao was not there this morning!"

It seems that today all the strange things will be added to the two piles.The two returned to the 619 dormitory in silence. Guo Lu found out the notebook that he wrote down three times in the morning, took off the pen cover and continued to add content to it.

4. Only Guo Lu, Huo Yizhou, and Li Haipeng were left on the sixth floor.

5. Black sand of unknown origin appeared on Gu Dabao's bed.

"Is there anything missing?" Guo Lu asked Huo Yizhou who was sitting beside him while remembering.

Huo Yizhou was playing with his mobile phone, staring fixedly at the column showing the time and slowly walking towards 18:00.

Now it seems that all the problems are related to that APP.

The APP says that players with 18 dice will be cleared at 0:[-] every day.

In Nancheng in April, the sky is still bright at 05:30 in the evening. Once the threshold of 05:30 is passed, the sky will quickly darken.So when it was around [-]:[-], Huo Yizhou had no choice but to turn on the flashlight on his phone to illuminate the room.

After 17:59, Huo Yizhou began to count down in his heart.

59, 58, 57...

Guo Lu stood up, Huo Yizhou stopped talking, his inexplicable panic made him decide to wake up Li Haipeng who was sleeping like a dead pig to embolden himself.

45, 44, 43...

Standing on the steps beside the bed, Guo Lu stretched out his hand and pushed Li Haipeng awake: "Brother, don't sleep, get up and chat."

30, 29, 28...

Li Haipeng opened his eyes, stretched himself and sat up: "How long have I been asleep?"

"Soon, it will only be three or four hours," Guo Lu urged him, "Hurry up and get out of bed."

15, 14, 13...

Li Haipeng put on a coat casually, lifted the quilt, stepped on the railing with one foot, and shouted: "Hurry up and make way for the uncle, Luzi, I'm coming down."

5、4、3、2、1。

"Dangdangdang——" the church bell rang in the distance, and Li Haipeng, who was climbing down the stairs, suddenly felt his body lighten. He lowered his head and found in horror that his body was falling down at an alarming speed. sand.

"How can I..." He just finished speaking halfway, and his whole body collapsed silently, completely turning into a pool of sand.

All this happened in just a few seconds, before the other two people in the dormitory even had time to react, they watched their companions disappear.
