Chapter 15: The Centipede
Everything was ready, and they were about to set off when Zhu Hao asked, "Where's Gu Ping?"
Another boy named Chang Junyan replied, "He just went to the restroom. He should be back soon."
Chen Mu said, "Let's start walking slowly towards the exit and wait for him there."
Wei Dalei pushed the handcrafted skateboard made by Chen Mu and took the lead at the front.
The metallic parts made an eerie creaking sound as they rubbed against each other, which sounded particularly loud in the quiet surroundings.
However, just as they were about to reach the door's opening...
"Ah...!"
They heard Gu Ping's desperate cry from outside.
Everyone froze for a moment, but Chen Mu was the first to react and immediately rushed outside, his weapon, a spear, forming at his waist.
When they didn't know what danger they were facing, long-range weapons seemed safer.
Wei Dalei slowed down for a moment but quickly ran ahead as well.
In his hands was a giant wolf-tooth club specially crafted by Chen Mu, and the iron spikes on it were enough to terrify anyone.
Although Wei Dalei started a bit later than Chen Mu, his strength-enhanced body allowed him to run at a speed surpassing that of an average person.
After all, the source of speed ultimately came from strength.
Wei Dalei caught up and passed Chen Mu in the blink of an eye.
Chen Mu hurriedly shouted, "Old Wei, don't rush up. Assess the situation first."
Upon hearing Gu Ping's plea for help, Chen Mu had already prepared for the worst. Even though they were just classmates, even if their relationship wasn't that great, he couldn't be indifferent. He was ready to help if it was just a few ants, but he didn't want to risk their lives if it turned out to be larger animals like rats or frogs.
He was the first to rush out because he didn't want others to take unnecessary risks, but he had forgotten about Wei Dalei, the reckless guy.
By the time he tried to remind him, it was too late.
Wei Dalei had already charged through the door opening.
However, as soon as he got outside, Wei Dalei suddenly froze, looking at the scene in front of him in shock.
Chen Mu followed a few seconds later, and when he saw what lay ahead, he was also stunned.
But he only stood there for a second before hurriedly pulling Wei Dalei back, yelling to Chang Junyan and Zhu Hao, who had just come out, "Go back, don't look!"
Gu Ping's death had sparked great unease among the group. Even Chen Mu felt a bit scared.
To be honest, luck had played a big part in their survival so far.
Leaving the restroom outside the door was something almost everyone had done, but unfortunately, Gu Ping was just unlucky enough to encounter a centipede.
Looking at it this way, the idea of standing guard at night was simply self-deception. Just a few crickets and centipedes would be enough to wipe out these people.
Resistance seemed meaningless.
"Will that centipede come in?" someone asked anxiously. Since it happened at the door, it was a possibility.
"It probably... just ate and should be full now."
This response seemed a bit heartless, but it's hard to blame anyone for being selfish. In this environment, it's natural for people to put their own survival first, especially when Gu Ping didn't have particularly close relationships with anyone.
On the other hand, Wei Dalei, who had conflicts with Gu Ping, was filled with remorse at the moment.
"Chen Mu, what's your plan?" Dong Junwei asked.
Chen Mu fell silent for a moment and said, "We still need to move the stuff. To be honest, staying here is just as dangerous as going out. We can't keep hiding here forever; that's a death sentence too."
"So... the plan remains the same?"
"I suggest we all stick together," Chen Mu said after pondering for a while.
Dong Junwei quickly understood what Chen Mu meant.
If the boys who went out encountered danger, the remaining girls had almost no means to protect themselves, and they would likely suffer a slow death. It was better to stick together and boost each other's courage.
Dong Junwei nodded in agreement and asked everyone, "What do you all think?"
Zhao Xiaoyan, Du Jiajia, and others thought about the place where Gu Ping was eaten by the centipede at the door, and they didn't want to stay alone here at all. They all agreed resoundingly.
This group of students from Class 4 in Grade 12 originally had 11 members, but after Luo Hui and Gu Ping's deaths, only 9 remained.
Chen Mu counted the people and felt a sense of sadness seeing that there weren't even double digits left.
Who would be the next one?
Though mortals would eventually die, in times like these, the human survival instinct became even stronger than in peaceful times.
Life is unpredictable.
Who could have imagined that the same group of high school students who were just discussing about toilet paper would now be facing life-and-death challenges?
