Chapter 510 The only way for Lu Zhao and the other four to survive

Chapter 510 The only way for Lu Zhao and his four companions to survive
"What did you expect?"

"I expected that I would have some intersection with them!"

"Isn't this inevitable?" Homeroom Teacher 040 asked, "In the entire classroom, apart from them, only you and Wei Liang are special. It is reasonable for them to have some interactions with you."

"So... after meeting them, how do you feel about them?"

Lin Yi asked, "What kind of feeling?"

"Anything is fine." Class teacher-040 seemed eager to know the situation of Lu Zhao and others.

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, the homeroom teacher-040 suddenly interrupted him and said, "Don't forget, we are now strategic allies, don't try to evade me."

"Okay, okay, I will tell you everything I know." Lin Yi smiled bitterly, then said frankly, "Those four people are a team. Lu Zhao should be the commander who coordinates and dispatches, Jin Jiuyao is the perception type, and the twins Chen Bing and Chen Xue seem to have some kind of strange bond between them. They should be a combat unit... maybe there is some kind of combined skills or something like that."

Homeroom teacher-040 nodded slightly: "One controller and one sensor, main and secondary damage dealer... This is considered a regular team composition for a four-person team. Any more details?"

Lin Yi nodded: "Apart from whether they are official personnel or people from the "God's Domain", the good news is that the commander named Lu Zhao is quite reliable, and the bad news is that the other three people have all been contaminated."

"That Jin Jiuyao seems to have observed the Laughing Angel and was contaminated by him..." Lin Yi didn't know that the culprit who contaminated Jin Jiuyao was not the Laughing Angel, but him.

"The girl named Chen Xue was contaminated by Yu Tong... the image of a smiling angel was reflected in her eyes..."

"And that Chen Bing..." When mentioning Chen Bing, Lin Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes, "Did that Chen Bing... come to see you just now?"

"Chen Bing is looking for me?" Class teacher-040 was stunned for a moment, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Why did she look for me? She didn't look for me!"

Lin Yi said nothing, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"As expected...

"What do you mean?" Class Teacher-040 was a little confused.

Lin Yi said, "That Chen Bing left the classroom once in order to verify the authenticity of Liangzi and I with you, but now it seems that she was attacked by the Forest of Dead Steles... Although I don't know how she anchored back, it is an indisputable fact that she was contaminated by the Forest of Dead Steles, but she herself is completely unaware of it."

Lin Yi thought about it for a while after he finished speaking.

After thinking about it, I might have guessed some of the logic behind Chen Bing's leaving and returning to the classroom.

Chen Bing thought she went to the teacher's office, but actually encountered a mental attack from the Forest of Dead Steles. No matter what she experienced, it is certain that she did not "ask" for information about him and Wei Liang in her daze - this is just a coincidence. In the state of being disturbed by the spirit of the Forest of Dead Steles, Chen Bing's consciousness may have been drawn into the vortex of time like he had before, and penetrated the time dimension in a passive and unknown form, entering a state similar to dreaming.

In this state, even if she was asking about "Lin Yi" and "Wei Liang" instead of "Laurin" and "William", the conclusion she would come to would be that these two people did not exist.

Just like ordinary people dreaming while sleeping, they will not feel the absurdity of things in the dream, and they will not even realize that they are dreaming.

But coincidence is that things are so magical and subtle.

"In other words, except for Lu Zhao, everyone else has been contaminated. This contamination is like a time bomb that will kill them all." Lin Yi said, "Jin Jiuyao also tried to find some Chengyu Tie through me... I guided him to find two similar books, hoping that it will be helpful to them."

Upon hearing this, Class Teacher 040 couldn't help but hold his forehead with a complicated feeling: "If I still had doubts before, now after listening to you, I can almost conclude that they are not official people..."

She added: "If it is the official style, it would rather choose players with high comprehensive strength than special unstable talents to form a team."

The authorities seek stability and would rather reduce risks to do so.

Of course, some cards may be both special and stable.

"Moreover, the official team's favorite is five to six people. This ratio helps increase the margin of error."

"God's Domain?" Lin Yi stroked his chin. "So, if God's Domain chose to team up with the four of them, it means they must have something extraordinary, or in other words, something strange."

As the saying goes, there must be something strange about an unpopular hero.

"Oh, by the way, I heard Jin Jiuyao say that one of them was going to find Shan Nan to confirm something, and the other one's mission is not clear."

The corner of the homeroom teacher-040's mouth couldn't help but twitch: "You can hear this?"

Lin Yi laughed dryly: "Shunfenger."

Homeroom Teacher 040 obviously didn't believe in the saying of Shunfenger, but she didn't suspect anything. It was just that the words related to Shannan further verified the saying that they were in the "realm of God".

However, out of four people who entered the school, three of them were contaminated by the angel sculpture before even the first night. Isn’t this failure rate a little too high...?
Class teacher-040 frowned.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken yet, Lin Yi looked at the time, and after waiting for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any problem?"

Class teacher-040 said, "I'm just a little curious. 'Angels walk towards the light and never get lost.' Chen Bing was contaminated by the Forest of Dead Steles because he left the classroom. However, Jin Jiuyao and Chen Xue never left the classroom. What was their channel for contacting the Laughing Angel?"

"If the Laughing Angel enters the classroom, the damage it causes will be far more than just contaminating one or two people, right?"

"Ah, this, this..." Lin Yi couldn't help but hesitate, "Regarding the appearance of the strange laughing angel in the classroom... I feel that... it might be related to me."

"..." Head teacher-040 was speechless. That expression seemed to be saying "6".

Lin Yi simply explained that because he was carrying ashes, his shadow seemed to have become a gathering place for the Laughing Angels, and then brought the Laughing Angels into the classroom. However, the Laughing Angels seemed to be subject to certain restrictions, so they were wiped out by the layer when they left the shadow. Although this was his guess, he still said this to the homeroom teacher-040.

What was dramatic was that the class teacher-040 heard "gathering place" as "residence place" and thought that Lin Yi had brought a smiling angel over. Although the smiling angel had contaminated Jin Jiuyao and Chen Xue, fortunately he was dead and the disaster level did not spread.

Lin Yi saw the relieved look on the head teacher's face, which made him feel respectful - he was indeed an "executive" sent by the authorities. He was not panicked at all when he heard that my shadow had become a gathering place for the Laughing Angels!

He remained calm even when faced with a mountain collapse. Damn, this alone is something he should learn from.

"They are so unlucky to have a classmate like you..." The head teacher-040 was a little amused.

Lin Yi spread his hands: "But I feel that some coincidences are inevitable." "You are right. In other words, if they had not encountered the angel statue, but had faced the smiling angel on campus, the consequences might have been even worse." Class teacher-040 shook his head, "This is not a big problem... What I am thinking about now is that it may be troublesome for me to deal with Lu Zhao and the others."

"What do you mean? You want to kill them and eliminate all future troubles?" Lin Yi made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Class teacher-040 glanced at him and said: "The official principle is not to give up or abandon. We cannot deal with extreme measures when problems arise. We must try to save anyone who can be saved."

"In a situation like this, if it is really impossible to save them, I have to find a way to prepare a way out for them."

“This is the meaning of the role of a class teacher.”

"It's 'redemption', not 'judgment'."

Homeroom Teacher-040 rubbed his temples, seeming to be in distress.

"If we let them stay in the classroom, the lights will be off for a while during the gray fog invasion. Given the current situation, it is almost certain that the angel sculpture will enter the classroom. They will be dead by then..."

"If they are allowed to leave the classroom, the only places they can go are the dormitories and the gymnasium... neither of which is a good place to go at the moment."

"What about the security guards? Can't the security guards help them?" Lin Yi asked. He remembered that it was the security guards who brought Li Huiyuan to the gymnasium.

Teacher-040 shook his head slightly. "You also said that the source of their pollution comes from the angel sculpture. If they follow the security guards, once the pollution breaks out, the most dangerous thing for them is not the abnormal environment around them, but the security guards."

"There is no strange unit on campus that the security guards cannot handle. If they really catch up with the security guards, their lives will be in danger."

Lin Yi took a breath. When he thought of the security guard's burly figure that was full of oppression, the dim kerosene lamp and the mace stained with the flesh and blood of nocturnal creatures, he felt like he could not breathe.

The security guards were too oppressive. If you didn’t know that they were your own unit, you would be really scared if you encountered them in abnormal weather.

The night watchman will at least tell you some black humor, but the security guard will only make you become the humor.

Homeroom Teacher-040 said, "They need to find the school doctor or the physical education teacher, but unfortunately, I am the only one who can contact the school doctor, and in abnormal weather, this contact is not stable... The authorities will not allow this risk."

“And the gym teacher is in the gym… so the circle just comes full circle and it becomes them going to the gym.”

Lin Yi was silent for a while, then he said, "Are the people who are still in the classroom unable to make it tonight?"

Homeroom teacher-040 said: "Generally speaking, as long as you can hide under the desk, you can get through it. But you should know better than anyone that inspiration is often just a spark of an instant."

“Even if you can always stay alert, pollution can still sneak in the moment you relax.”

“The horror of pollution is not that you know where the pollution is, but that you know it exists but cannot stop it, just like breathing.”

After being told this by the homeroom teacher-040, Lin Yi suddenly felt suffocated again, and his mood became much heavier.

“Many people won’t be able to make it…”

"Yes." Homeroom Teacher-040 said, "This time the gray fog invasion is much more serious than in the past. Many of the students who have experienced the experience have had problems, especially those who have survived for seven days."

Lin Yi asked: "What will happen if you don't leave after seven days?"

"It's okay." Class teacher-040 shook his head slightly. "I've said it before. From the beginning, the official intention was not to cheat people. So the seven-day time limit is just a cognitive shackle to remind others that it's time to leave."

"There were some people with a strong desire to explore. They kept exploring the campus within the scope allowed by the rules. Eventually, they were attracted by the extraordinary power without noticing it. They continued to stay in the campus and eventually degenerated into nocturnal species."

"The seven-day deadline is not a hard and fast standard, but when the detention time exceeds seven days, many things will accumulate from quantitative changes to qualitative changes."

“So later the authorities set a one-week deadline for admission to the school.”

“A lot can be accomplished within this time frame.”

Lin Yi pondered: "Including the screening of athletes and artists?"

"That's right." Homeroom Teacher-040 nodded.

"So regarding Lu Zhao and the others, do you have any final plans?" Lin Yi asked. Lu Zhao and the others actually had nothing to do with him anymore, so if Class Teacher-040 had nothing to say, he would say goodbye and leave.

Homeroom teacher-040 was silent for a while before slowly speaking: "Their way out is not in the classroom."

"So do you want them to go to the gymnasium or the dormitory building?" Lin Yi asked.

Homeroom Teacher-040 said: "I originally hoped that you could return to the dormitory with them. After all, it would be better to take care of each other with more people..."

Lin Yi didn't say anything, because when he heard "originally", he knew there would be a "but".

"But..." Homeroom Teacher-040 continued, "Judging from their performance, they are not qualified to be on your team. Being with them may drag you down."

"Besides, I get the feeling that you don't want anyone to be with you either."

Homeroom Teacher-040 said this and looked at him.

Lin Yi nodded without comment. He knew his situation better than anyone else. Being with him was like being with a group of smiling angels, wasn't it?

It's still okay now under the lights in the classroom, but when the weather gets abnormal later, it will be impossible to suppress the Laughing Angel with just the lamp posts.

If Lu Zhao and the other three went with him, it would be like adding some cute little condiments to the meal of the Smiley Angel.

"It's not that I don't want to, but to be honest, if they go with me, they might die faster." Lin Yi said frankly.
