Chapter 7: Flowers Blooming Everywhere
The person standing on the other side of the corridor was Lin Ying.
Her voice matched her beauty,
Like a bowl of sweet iced slush,
Sweet and cool,
Echoing in the narrow corridor,
Not only easily dispelling the restlessness and summer heat lingering in Wang Ran's heart, but also giving Wang Ran the illusion that his ears were being massaged.
Why is she here?
Wang Ran hesitated: "I... I'm preparing supplies for club activities, why are you here?" The simulator's text was still in his vision.
[Calm and peaceful]
[You had an indescribable story all day long]
Wang Ran gazed at Lin Ying's graceful figure,
His heart couldn't help but beat faster,
Feeling quite like being caught red-handed doing something bad.
Lin Ying asked in surprise: "You know me?"
A normal person should ask who Lin Ying is, but Wang Ran asked why Lin Ying was here.
Wang Ran was stunned for a moment,
He realized that his tone of speaking just now was wrong,
But Lin Ying didn't mind.
Lin Ying pursued: "Which club are you from, what activities are you planning, have you reported to the student union?" Wang Ran fell silent.
He vaguely remembered that Lin Ying was a member of the student union, and held an important position in the student union.
"I'm from the school debate team."
Wang Ran said with a straight face: "Many seniors are about to graduate, we're preparing to hold a farewell party for them, I don't know if the team captain has reported it." He felt a bit nervous inside.
Firstly, he wasn't a member of the school debate team, and secondly, he had left a note written in the name of the student union on the supplies.
If Lin Ying saw the note, he would be exposed.
Fortunately, Lin Ying showed no intention of coming over. She said softly: "Recently, there have been outsiders wandering around the school, your things are not safe here, find time to move them away."
"A few days ago, a club organized outdoor swimming."
"There was an accident."
Lin Ying explained as a matter of routine: "Now all club activities must be reported to the student union first, and can only be held after being reviewed by the student union."
This summer is the hottest summer since the 21st century,
Many clubs have organized heat-relief activities,
Among them, one club had a major safety accident. They organized more than thirty people to swim in the river, resulting in seven drownings.
This incident caused quite a stir in the university town.
But Wang Ran was oblivious to outside affairs. Although he heard people discussing it, he knew almost nothing about this accident.
Wang Ran mourned for the students involved in the accident for two seconds.
"Is the review easy to pass?"
Wang Ran seriously inquired of Lin Ying, as if he really had activities to report to the student union.
Lin Ying said softly: "It's mainly just going through the process."
She was the person responsible for reviewing club activities.
Unless the activity had obvious safety hazards, she would approve it.
"Then I'll let the team captain report to your student union as soon as possible." Wang Ran paused, "By the way, did you come specifically to tell me about this?"
Lin Ying nodded slightly: "I saw you moving things, guessed that a club might be holding a large-scale activity, so I came to ask."
Wang Ran nodded: "Thank you for your trouble!"
Lin Ying said nonchalantly: "It's no problem, this is my duty." She was a person who took her work very seriously.
Under Wang Ran's gaze, Lin Ying turned and left the basement corridor, her footsteps very light.
For her current self,
She could never imagine that she, a favored daughter of heaven, would be trapped in this dark and cramped place with someone whose name she didn't even know.
She could even less imagine that she would taste the forbidden fruit of Eden with Wang Ran.
Wang Ran silently watched Lin Ying leave.
[Continue simulation]
[Day 11, you hear dense explosions coming from the north, you realize the chance to escape has come]
[You start hammering at the rocks blocking the basement]
[Due to your high agility attribute, your destruction speed is very significant, and you quickly open a path to the outside world]
[You hold Lin Ying's hand waiting for military rescue]
[Suddenly, strong light illuminates the basement through the cracks]
[You died]
Dead again!
Sudden death!
Wang Ran looked at the final words in bewilderment.
He originally thought he could live for a long time this time, but didn't expect to die just after the tenth day.
Strong light?
Did the military fire missiles at the school?
But he was still here!
Wang Ran's eyes flickered with contemplation.
He had registered his location information, the military must know he was here, knowing this yet still firing missiles, could something have happened outside?
[You have triggered the talent "Dying with Eyes Open"]
[Damaged eyeballs roll from your eye sockets, in your blurry vision, you see that the rocks burying the basement have been completely blown open]
[You notice a gorgeous scene]
[A purple-red flower has grown out of the ruins of the teaching building, its diameter reaching hundreds of meters, huge petals blocking the sky, countless monsters clinging to the flower's surface like a layer of black armor]
Wang Ran was so shocked his mouth fell open.
He had been hiding in the basement for ten days, and a flower hundreds of meters in diameter had unknowingly grown above his head.
Even thinking with his knees, he knew this was a BOSS level monster,
It might even be a monster's nest!
No wonder the military fired missiles here. If they could destroy a monster nest, it would greatly reduce the difficulty of carrying out their rescue operation.
He and Lin Ying had become sacrifices!
Or perhaps the military thought they were already dead, after all, there were monsters everywhere here, and ordinary college students would never survive until the military launched a rescue operation.
[The explosion just now caused massive damage to the monster flower]
[Half of its petals have withered]
[Thick purple-red powder spreads in the air, drifting northward with the fierce southeast wind]
[Your and Lin Ying's corpses are contaminated with the purple-red powder]
[Half an hour later, dense mushroom clusters grow on your corpses, you become nutrients for the mushrooms]
Wang Ran drew in a sharp breath.
What on earth was this purple-red powder, in just half an hour it had completely consumed his and Lin Ying's corpses, growing clusters of mushrooms.
If it fell on living people...
Wang Ran didn't dare to imagine that horrifying scene.
[White air waves part the fog-like purple-red powder]
[Violent explosions occur up and down the monster flower, finally it and the monsters are vaporized in intense light and heat, but more purple-red powder drifts northward]
[The sound of artillery fire from the north gradually weakens]
[At dusk, the city returns to silence, as if nothing had happened, and nothing would happen]
[On the ruins, each mushroom blooms into a flower]
[The next day, flowers bloom everywhere]
[Time exhausted, "Dying with Eyes Open" automatically terminates]
[Simulation ends]
Before the bewildered Wang Ran could react,
Accompanied by soul-stirring sound effects, three lines of golden glowing text leapt into his view!
[Congratulations on completing the milestone task]
[Congratulations on obtaining an additional talent slot]
[Congratulations on obtaining a chance to draw a legendary talent]
