Chapter 8: Empty Joy

After a day of hunger, the instant noodles that I already thought were delicious were even more like a gluttonous feast.

Zheng Jiayi was lying quietly on her bed, with the aftertaste of instant noodles in her mouth, I don't know if she was really tired today. There were already some heaving snoring ringing in my ears.

Suddenly, the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling flickered. Zheng Jiayi thought that she was dazzled, and habitually rubbed her eyes with her hands.

It's not lit. I must have been dazzled. Zheng Jiayi was a little self-deprecating. But I always felt the sound of radio waves flowing in the air.

Ding-ding-poof! The fluorescent lamp on the ceiling struggled for a long time, and finally came on.

Zheng Jiayi sat up before she had time to polish her eyes again.

The fluorescent lights really came on. She's not dreaming.

"Wake up!" Zheng Jiayi was so excited that she forgot to put on her shoes and stepped on the ground barefoot. Everyone was woken up with almost cheering voices. "Wake up. There's electricity, there's electricity. We are saved. ”

Everyone was already sleeping a little lightly, and when Zheng Jiayi screamed like this, some of them almost jumped up. I was so scared that I touched my heart. It wasn't until I realized that the current dormitory was bright that the fright turned into a surprise. Cheer along.

"Saved, saved, saved." The entire dormitory was almost filled with the same sentence.

Hiss-la-hiss-hiss-

"Quiet!" Xu Yiyi motioned for everyone to be quiet. "Listen, what's the sound?"

Hiss - Hiss - Hiss – Hiss –

The sound of radio waves.

"It's a broadcast!" Zheng Jiayi was the first to react. Pointing to the upper left corner of the dormitory with one hand, he continued: "Look! ”

Everyone held their breath and looked at the radio station in unison.

One second and two seconds, at this moment, it is really like a year.

Just when everyone was about to give up. The radio really went on.

"Hey, hey!" A sonorous male voice came over the radio.

"Is it a teacher?"

"It's the police, right?"

"Hahaha, saved."

There were only two hey calls on the radio. It's already made the whole dorm go crazy.

"Hey, hey. Uh, students, I'm Mr. Chen from Department X. We've just recaptured our backup power. Now students can connect with each other through the school's intranet. And wait for our rescue in place. Teacher Chen of the X department paused as he spoke, and continued: "Well, I'll talk about this for the time being. It's not too early, so let's rest first. ”

"Hahaha." Zheng Jiayi and Lu Hui interlocked their fingers. The smiling eyes are almost gone. Who is still sleepy at this moment? I'm afraid the other survivors have already begun to celebrate their imminent rebirth.

"I'll be in charge of connecting with other people on the intranet." When it comes to surfing the Internet, Liu Xiling is the best at it.

"I'm going to pack my bags. Who wants to sleep! Zhou Meng had already dragged out her pink suitcase from under the bed as she spoke.

"Can you bring so many things?" Li Jiajia also wanted to start packing her luggage now, but she always felt that so many people were waiting for rescue, how could everyone carry such a big suitcase.

"I don't care, I'm going to bring it." Zhou Meng squatted on the ground and didn't raise her head, although she didn't have a score in her own heart. However, if the daily necessities, a change of clothes, and food and drink are all prepared, it is definitely not enough not to pull the suitcase.

"Jiayi. It's like a dream. Lu Hui took Zheng Jiayi's hand and kept dangling it. You say, will anyone really come to save us? ”

Zheng Jiayi's mind was full of joy, and she didn't have time to think about Lu Hui's question at all, and kept chattering in her heart: I was saved. Finally saved.

"Liu Xiling, what's going on the Internet?" Xu Yiyi walked up to Liu Xiling, her eyes glued to Liu Xiling's computer screen.

"I'm still trying to connect to the Internet. No way. Completely paralyzed. It can't be connected at all. Liu Xiling speaks to speak. Hands were not idle for a moment.

"What about the intranet?" Zheng Jiayi and Lu Hui were not as excited as before in an instant. Even they felt that their transformation was a little too fast.

"The intranet can be connected." Liu Xiling didn't think about it and continued: "Light energy can be connected to the top of the inner network. It's not like you can't guess what it means to be down on the Internet. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Zhou Meng, who was packing his luggage non-stop, couldn't help but pause. Then he threw a piece of clothing in his hand into the suitcase, and said angrily: "I don't care, we can definitely be saved anyway." ”

The others looked at each other silently. If the internet goes down, it means it's not just the school that's wrong. Rather, the same accident occurred on a large scale and on a large scale.

"A lot of people followed. It seems that there are quite a few strong people in our school. Liu Xiling clicked here, and the mouse kept refreshing.

The intranet is simple, but the rows and rows are full of happy moods and expectations for survival after being saved.

"Shall we say something?" Liu Xiling typed out a line of words on the keyboard. Then it was quickly deleted. After repeating it several times, I finally couldn't help but ask everyone.

There was silence

"Don't be too happy just yet. Despite the changes. Xu Yiyi was a little disappointed and a little depressed. Slowly moved back to his bedside.

Zheng Jiayi looked at her, then at the others, and pretended to be relaxed: "We have expected this situation for a long time, and now it is just confirmed." Nothing to be sad about. Now there is electricity, and you can go to the intranet. There were also teachers who took the lead in organizing the rescue of us. Isn't it many times better than we expected? ”

"That's it." Zhou Meng nodded vigorously. "It's always better to have an adult here."

"Please, we're adults ourselves, okay?" Liu Xiling could still laugh at this time, and continued to sarcastically mock Zhou Meng: "Whether it is physiologically or legally. You're already an adult, okay? ”

"Yes, there are so many of us. And with an old man like a teacher leading me, it will definitely get better. Lu Hui hurriedly came out to play the round.

"Yes. That's what I mean. "Zhou Meng will never be able to lose.

"Yes. Everything that thinks for the good. Xu Yiyi smiled and nodded to Zheng Jiayi. Then he got back into the covers. Throw out a sentence: "Squint for a while, it can't be our turn so soon." ”

Lu Hui looked at Zheng Jiayi and said, "Yes." The radio station was cleaned up all the way to the office building, and it was very early. ”

"Then don't climb on the bunk. Spend a few hours in my bed. Zheng Jiayi took Lu Hui's hand and pulled her all the way back to her bed.

Liu Xiling is still trying to get on the Internet. Apparently unlikely.

Zhou Meng and Li Jiajia packed their luggage and waited for rescue at all times.

I don't know how long it has been, Zheng Jiayi heard the sound of radio waves again in a hazy sleep. It seems that there is also the sound of the radio coming to my ears. But she didn't want to wake up so quickly, after all, it was rare to be able to sleep so soundly.

"Jiayi. Wake up. ”

Helplessly, he was woken up by Lu Hui.

"What? Rescue is coming to us so soon? Zheng Jiayi turned over in a daze and sat up with difficulty. She really hadn't woken up yet, she really didn't want to get up yet.

"No, it's not. Mr. Chen is broadcasting the rescue plan. Listen to it and see how you can cooperate with the rescue operation. Lu Hui dragged Zheng Jiayi while staring at the radio, concentrating.

Since I'm talking about the rescue plan. Let's just listen to it. Zheng Jiayi sat up straight and forced herself to wake up as quickly as possible. I listened carefully. However, the more I listened, the more I felt - panic!

"Intranet chat is banned. Now only admins can speak. Liu Xiling still stayed by the computer.

"What did the Administrator say?" Xu Yiyi is dual-minded at the moment. While listening to what is said on the radio, you also have to pay attention to what information will be posted by the administrator of the intranet chat room.

"It's a long time. It's pretty much the same as on the radio. It's just that the arrangement is more detailed. One by one, a large number of them were posted at once. Liu Xiling slid the mouse up and down. The entire screen is lined with rows of text. Zheng Jiayi can see the first Arabic numeral in each line - 1, 2, 3 - far away

"What shall we say?" Anyway, Zheng Jiayi herself felt that Teacher Chen's arrangement would not work.

"What do you think?" Xu Yiyi asked Zheng Jiayi rhetorically.

Zheng Jiayi blew the bangs in front of her forehead with her mouth and asked, "How many of our classmates are still alive?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that it was inappropriate, and changed his words: "No, how many classmates are waiting for rescue?" ”

"Yesterday, no, there were reports in various dormitories on the intranet in the early morning. Not counting those who stay in other places without computers and cannot access the Internet. There are probably a few thousand people too. Liu Xiling thought about it seriously and gave an approximate figure.

"Yes. There are more than 30,000 people in our school. How to transfer? Zheng Jiayi sneered and added: "Just 10 school buses." How many people can a car pull? It's all pulled up. How far can you drive. If it's a mess outside, where can we move to? ”

The more Zheng Jiayi spoke, the louder she spoke, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became. It felt like you were arguing with someone.

"But we don't have to think about that. The teacher will arrange it. We just need to get to the meeting point safely. Zhou Meng disagreed with Zheng Jiayi's hasty speculation.

"Okay." Zheng Jiayi was already disappointed because of her hope, and her mood fell to the bottom, and she suddenly became angry. "Tell me, then, how do we get to the meeting point safely?"

"This" Zhou Meng looked at Xu Yiyi in embarrassment, wanting to ask her for help.

Xu Yiyi frowned, and her tone couldn't hide her frustration: "It's quite difficult." I feel that the meeting place is more suitable for those who ran to the school building in the first place. We're going to meet at the school gate. It's really a little too far. ”

"The intranet chat room is open for chatting again." Liu Xiling receives the latest information at any time.

"Then hurry up and talk about the problems we are facing, and see if there is a solution." Zhou Meng hurriedly moved a stool and sat next to Liu Xiling.

"It's all swiped. It's all about the impossibility of getting to the meeting point on your own or something. Liu Xiling stared intently at the rows of words that swished past, struggling to grasp useful information. Then he slammed the mouse and shouted, "Hey, muted again." It is estimated that the teacher was stunned by the swipe. ”

"Huh." Zheng Jiayi didn't know why she was still in the mood to laugh at the moment. She really thought it was funny.

"Oh, there's an explanation." Liu Xiling's face was almost pasted on the computer screen. Read word by word: "The students in the old dormitory building are waiting for the arrangement. Students from other places will gather at the meeting place as originally planned, and a teacher will pick them up at each place. After reading, Liu Xiling leaned back and added: "Let everyone sit down and act quickly." ”

"Isn't that something wrong with us?" Lu Hui was not angry. "Is it our fault that we live far away? Did we choose to live in the old dormitory? Strange really! ”

"It's nice to have other options just for us, so don't we just wait a little longer? It's much better than going out rashly and taking risks, isn't it? Although Zheng Jiayi also wanted to complain. But I still feel that I should comfort Lu Hui first.

"Yes, yes. Zheng Jiayi is right. Zhou Meng hurriedly reconsidered. She felt that Zheng Jiayi's words were too good. Only by listening in this way can you calm yourself down as much as possible.

"But," Lu Hui wanted to complain about again.

Zheng Jiayi grabbed Lu Hui's hand and said, "Yes, yes, yes." I know what you're trying to say. I know. And I know we're going to be okay. ”

When Lu Hui heard this, her cheeks were sour, and she pursed her lips hypocritically, and then nodded vigorously.
