Chapter 15: The Nightmare Returns
I turned my gaze to the vibrating glass of water on my desk, frowning, still feeling that something was wrong.
When I looked at Zhang Qiang again, I suddenly seemed to realize something.
After a pause, I hurriedly ran to the podium opposite the three of them: "Zhang Qiang, come here!" Help me move the podium to the corner by the window at the back! Qiqi is here to help, too! ”
I pointed to the corner opposite the back door.
After saying that, he pushed their desks away from the puzzled eyes of the other students in the class and made way for the podium.
Zhang Qiang looked at me suspiciously, but he still came over and moved the podium together.
Zhao Qiqi hesitated for a moment, as if she suddenly understood what I meant, and after pushing away the obstacle desks on the road, she pulled the desks of the three of us to the far corner of the classroom by the window.
With the help of Zhao Qiqi and Zhang Qiang, I set up the lectern and three desks in a triangular pattern in the corner of the wall at the back of the classroom, and quickly drilled into it after making sure that it was relatively stable.
"Hurry up, you both come in, quick!" I yelled at the two of them with a solemn face.
Zhao Qiqi nodded immediately, and also got under the desk and podium.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing......" Zhang Qiang suddenly understood what I meant halfway through his words - his old nightmare had come again.
He stopped talking nonsense and hurriedly got in.
"Haha, are they sick...... one of the students did not finish laughing.
While the three of us were hiding in this corner, the electric lights above our heads suddenly went out with a few crisp sounds.
Then, desks, chairs, textbooks, and people began to shake back and forth inexplicably.
As soon as they fell into darkness, the other students didn't have time to exclaim when they felt something was clearly wrong.
"Wow, why do I feel like I'm shaking?" I don't know who said it.
"Eh, it seems to be true!"
"Not good! It's an earthquake! I don't know which boy reacted first, and he yelled.
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings began to shake from slightly to violently shaking back and forth.
Countless dust fell from the roof, and then, the earthquake really came.
Countless mournful, desperate wails rang out from the dark room, and the students stood unsteadily, shoved, and screamed, but no matter what, they could not escape the closed classroom.
The three of us shrunk together in the far corner, only to feel that our bodies involuntarily vibrated violently with the earth, ding dong, and the electric fan and white banner lamp above our heads finally couldn't bear to smash down.
Then, before the others could shout, the ceiling fell.
I couldn't see the current situation clearly in the dark, Rao was hiding underneath, but I could still feel countless rubbles hitting my body, and a few large stones smashed on the podium above my head, which made me a little dizzy.
"Are you alright?" The sound of falling things all around, mixed with the screams of students, I asked aloud in the dark.
"I'm fine." Zhao Qiqi's voice came from the side.
"What about Zhang Qiang?" I asked, turning my head.
However, Zhang Qiang, who was on my left, did not speak.
My heart tightened, and I reached out to catch his pulsing hand.
At that moment, the ceiling overhead completely collapsed, and a whole piece fell from it, slamming into the ground with a loud thud.
Hiding under the lectern desk, I was hit by a huge resonance, and I felt as if I had been hit on the head and lost consciousness in an instant.
I don't know how long it took, but there seemed to be a few more aftershocks in the daze.
Finally, the earthquake stopped.
It took me a long time before I could barely open my eyes.
"Qiqi, Zhang Qiang, wake up!" I pushed Zhao Qiqi and Zhang Qiang, who were on the left and right.
After a while, Zhao Qiqi and Zhang Qiang both opened their eyes.
"Are you alright?" I looked at Zhao Qiqi.
She looked at me with a grim face and shook her head: "I'm fine." ”
"Zhang Qiang, what about you?" I turned to the other side again.
However, Zhang Qiang still didn't speak, I reached out and touched his direction, because I felt that Zhang Qiang was shaking.
Only then did I remember the phone in my pocket, and I barely reached for it sideways.
Clicking on the phone, the faint fluorescence reflected Zhang Qiang's miserable white face.
At this time, his eyes were blank, and his eyes were looking straight ahead, as if he had lost his mind.
"I guess he must have experienced another earthquake suddenly, so he remembered the past and had a short emergency response, and he should be fine after a while." At this time, Zhao Qiqi next to him suddenly spoke.
I nodded: "So now, the most important thing is to find a way to get out first." ”
"That's right." Zhao Qiqi patted my hand: "If I remember correctly, our classroom should be on the first floor." You try to turn off the screen of your phone first. ”
I don't know what she wants to do, but according to Zhao Qiqi's words, she turned off the phone screen.
In an instant, the surroundings fell into darkness again, and after a moment of silence, Zhao Qiqi's voice suddenly came from the side again.
"Look to the left!"
I looked in the direction she was saying, and suddenly I noticed a faint light.
"Our classroom is on the first floor, and we hide in the corner closest to the window, so we ......"
"So we're in the easiest place to get out?" I was overjoyed.
"That's right, now let's try it and see if we can push the stone out of it." Zhao Qiqi replied.
After understanding what Zhao Qiqi meant, I pushed away the few stones blocked in front of me, and then drilled out from under the podium.
Behind him, Zhao Qiqi also climbed out.
After checking the surrounding terrain, sure enough, as Zhao Qiqi said, because the location where we were hiding was very favorable, although the classroom collapsed, there was still a large space inside.
The two of them finally came to the spot she had said was shining with a little light.
At this point, I was a little unsure.
Can we really push the stones out of the way?
"This is just a beginner's trial, and it shouldn't be particularly difficult to set up a horror game, don't worry!" Seeing my worries, Zhao Qiqi comforted me.
I nodded, and immediately worked with Zhao Qiqi to push up the stone slab blocking in front of me.
Finally, with all the best push of the two, the large stone slab was pushed open of a corner, just big enough for an adult to get in and out.
Looking out through that corner, it was the school playground outside.
I didn't hesitate anymore at the moment, and after letting Zhao Qiqi leave first, I returned to the podium and dragged out Zhang Qiang, who still looked a little abnormal.
It was only after a few minutes that I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I breathed in the fresh air outside again.
Turning to look at the ruins behind him, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Although I told myself over and over again that this was just the premise of a horror game, I was still shocked by the fact that the setting was so real.
In the rubble, some stones and rubble oozed blood and the remnants of minced flesh left by some students, and I quickly turned my head away from looking.
"This game premise is too much, what do we do now?" When I looked around, I saw that the only building affected by the earthquake was a few of us, and the rest of the buildings were still intact.
I couldn't help but secretly scolded a certain cheating daddy horror game platform in my heart.
Zhao Qiqi squinted his eyes and thought for a moment: "Now, the situation of Situ Cao, Du Deming, and Wang Yi is still unclear, and the matter of the girl who jumped into the lake has not been specifically understood, let's go to them first to see the situation!" ”
So, after discussion, the two decided to go to their side first.
And just as Zhao Qiqi and I were about to leave with Zhang Qiang, a faint voice suddenly came from the rubble behind us.
"Help, save me......"
