Chapter 1189: Chapter 561: Targeted Again
Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly ran while pulling his backpack to the front, starting to dig out tomatoes from it.
At that moment, one by one the dormitory doors in the hallway opened, and zombie-like pseudo-humans emerged from the doors, instantly occupying the entire corridor.
Just as Lin Yi was about to force his way through, Tian Bufan’s voice rang out: “There’s not much time, don’t make unnecessary moves, getting caught by them will waste all our time! Go! Straight to the elevator!”
Tian Bufan spoke while constantly passing others, his bear-like physique exhibited superhuman agility, and even Wei Shan and Wei Liang moved nimbly, darting among the crowd like fish.
But Lin Yi’s speed was greatly hindered by various limitations.
Right now, he was like a bulldozer! He was really afraid of accidentally knocking the pseudo-humans apart in a single move!
He quickly glanced at Kuai Hongji behind him, only to find Kuai Hongji walking leisurely, with the pseudo-humans along the way even making way for him!
“Kuai Kuai, you go first, I’ll follow you!” Lin Yi decided to tailgate.
Kuai Hongji, however, dismissed him: “Each of us needs to show our own abilities, following me is not a good idea, you go on ahead.”
Lin Yi was slightly taken aback, then seemed to understand something, and continued moving at his original pace.
Soon, they arrived at the elevator entrance without any major incident, and the pseudo-humans gathered in the hallway began to slowly converge toward them.
Tian Bufan glanced at the pseudo-humans, then started pressing the “↓” button on the elevator, all the while explaining steadily: “You’ve seen these pseudo-humans.”
“I think these pseudo-humans are the reason for the green moss appearing in the bathroom!”
“Not every dormitory has been occupied by students, those unoccupied ones were taken over by nocturnal species and pseudo-humans.”
“They wait for people from other dormitories to give a ‘door opening’ signal, which they use as an anchor to ‘open their dormitory doors themselves.’
“This is what you’ve seen now.”
“These things are easy to kill, but this is a dormitory building… We have a mission, don’t mess around unnecessarily.”
Listening to Tian Bufan’s explanation, Lin Yi asked a question while staring at the pseudo-humans gradually approaching: “Then what about the green moss in our dormitory? Is it because we closed the bathroom door and suffocated them? But even then, they would need to be sun-dried to turn into green moss, right?”
Tian Bufan fixed his gaze on the elevator, speaking in a deep voice: “I just realized something we overlooked, the light that can appear in the dormitory at night… there’s another type—it’s the dormitory supervisor’s kerosene lamp!”
“When the dormitory supervisor patrols the dormitory, they kill the nocturnal species in the bathroom, and under the lamp’s light, the nocturnal species are sun-dried into green moss.”
“As for these dormitories… I think it’s likely that no inspection was done on each dormitory due to some time-related issue.”
“In other words… Old Lin, an accident might have occurred on this floor.”
Just then, there was a faint tremor from behind the elevator door, which soon subsided, followed by a clear “ding!”
The elevator door opened next, as bright as an ambulance carriage.
The group entered in single file.
“Wait for us! Wait for us! We’re coming!” The classmates whom Kuai Hongji had urged to hurry were squeezed and shoved by the pseudo-humans, shouting anxiously from amidst the crowd.
As soon as they shouted, they caught the attention of more pseudo-humans, making it increasingly difficult for them to break free.
Meanwhile, some pseudo-humans had already reached the elevator door, planning to board the elevator.
At this point, Tian Bufan took out the tomato Lin Yi had given him, reached outside the elevator, and squeezed it hard.
The tomato’s skin broke under the excessive pressure, and a fresh scent immediately spread out.
Once the scent dispersed, the nearby pseudo-humans in the dormitory and hallway all froze momentarily, then each showed a fanatical expression, looking at Tian Bufan’s hand.
Especially the pseudo-humans already at the elevator, whose faces showed delight due to greed, inhaling the airborne tomato juice smell, their expressions filled with a sickly sense of enjoyment, their forms almost losing stability with signs of slackness.
“Give it to me… give it to me…”
“I want it…”
Pseudo-humans surged toward Tian Bufan, and if such a large number got into the elevator, it would be unimaginable.
Seeing the timing was almost right, Tian Bufan threw the tomato out fiercely.
The tomato arced over the pseudo-humans’ heads, landing towards the back of the hallway.
“It’s mine! It’s all mine!!”
Pseudo-humans one after another swarmed over, leaving the elevator entrance cleared significantly.
Kuai Hongji seized the opportunity to maniacally press the close button.
「Click…」
The elevator doors trembled slightly and then began to close.
Just before the doors shut completely, a hand stretched out, blocking them.
The elevator doors paused, then opened toward the center at both sides.
“Sorry, sorry, we’re here…” The ones who blocked the doors were those Experience Students.
They initially couldn’t make it in time, but the tomato Tian Bufan threw loosened the crowd of pseudo-humans, allowing them a chance to rush to the elevator door.
