On July 17, 2020, Chen Ming was trapped at the Municipal College for the Deaf and Dumb in Xizhi County.

Seven days have passed since then, and it is July 23, 2020.

During this period, Chen Ming tried to break through from all directions of the school, but every time he couldn't go far, he would encounter a group of 10 large dogs.

Chen Ming found that these wild dogs seemed to have wisdom and had their own organization and division of labor.

Small dogs, such as teddies or pugs, are scouts who are always stationed on the streets and buildings near the school, monitoring the school's every move.

Large dogs such as wolfdogs and earth dogs are infantrymen, and they are used to perform such tasks whenever they need to attack.

Once, Chen Ming saw a mastiff hiding like a male lion in the dog group, looking at it from a distance at any time, but it also made Chen Ming feel a suffocating momentum.

Could it be other than people? Even the animals have changed and become so intelligent.

Chen Ming had to stay here, looking for a way to escape from this place.

During this period, Zhu Neng taught the standard sign language of his own country. Language learning is said to pay attention to the use of the environment, Chen Ming has not experienced it before, and he has not experienced this sentence, but now he feels it deeply.

In the case of not being able to speak, Chen Ming's sign language learning has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has been proficient in using sign language for daily communication in just 7 days. After that, Zhu Neng gave Chen Ming a textbook and let him slowly learn other complex expression methods.

While he was alone, Chen Ming began to exercise his ability to control his magnetism, and his goal now was to be able to control a fruit knife with ease, so that his force could be further enhanced.

As one of the few men in the school, Chen Ming also joined the ranks of sentry. Three men stand at the top of the tower and take turns monitoring their surroundings.

In fact, there is nothing to monitor when it is said to be a sentry, and the wild dogs can't enter, so there is no need to monitor. The point is to see if there are any living people around or when the government's possible rescue force appears, so that you and others will not be missed.

Chen Ming handed the telescope in his hand to Zhu Neng, he turned to look at Ma Jie and asked, "Teacher Ma, what do you think about the mysterious death of people?" ”

Ma Jie shook his head, "I don't know. This question has been in my mind for a long time, and I have not found a reasonable explanation. Either the end of the world as prophesied by those religions, or some mysterious scientific phenomenon that only the smartest academicians in the world can explain. ”

Chen Ming asked again: "Then did you see other people die?" ”

Ma Jie nodded, there was a trace of pain in his eyes, and a pool of tears appeared in his eyes, "I saw it, without warning, as soon as the person lay on the ground, there was no movement." ”

Chen Ming guessed that someone who was very important to him must have died in front of him. But Chen Ming did not change the subject, he then asked: "Then how did you survive?" ”

Chen Ming saw a trace of trance on Ma Jie's face, and then Ma Jie simply said: "Come back to life without speaking." ”

Chen Ming asked again: "Then did you see anything strange?" ”

Ma Jie asked with a puzzled expression: "Have you ever seen something strange?" ”

Chen Ming shook his head and smiled, and did not continue to talk about this topic. The two of them talked a little more about the school, and it was time for dinner.

Dinner was run by three girls, and as the saying goes: the children of poor families are in charge of the house early. The three fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls easily made a hearty meal from the stock in the school cafeteria.

Stir-fried bacon, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes with sour and hot potatoes, cold fungus, and three shreds with cold salad. In the past few days, the different dishes have nourished Chen Ming's appetite, and it is difficult to eat those convenience foods anymore.

At the dinner table, Ma Jie did not only care about eating for himself because of his status as a teacher. Every time, a few children are fed before they eat a big bowl of rice with leftovers.

Under the guidance of Ma Jie, the three girls gradually became familiar with Chen Ming.

The girl who smiled at Chen Ming that day was called Zhang Xueyan. Among the girls in the past few days, she has communicated with Chen Ming the most, helping Chen Ming improve his sign language skills a lot.

Among the other two girls, the taller one is named Zhang Xueying, who is Zhang Xueyan's sister in the same village and clan. Although she doesn't talk much, she makes a good dish, and the things on the table are basically from her subordinates.

Another girl named Wang Jia, with a good face and a bold face in the face of big things, Zhu Neng told that the last time she saved people, she was guarding the door and helped Ma Jie close the school gate.

After dinner, Ma Jie came to Chen Ming with a pot of old wine and asked, "How many sips?" ”

Chen Ming smiled and shook his head and thanked, "Thank you, don't drink it." Now in this world, I can't let myself relax in the slightest. To put it simply, if you drink a few more sips and say a few nonsense words by yourself, you will not be looking for death. ”

Chen Ming still hasn't said a word, that is, to think about when he will meet someone like Zhao Sha.

Ma Jie smiled awkwardly, "It's because I didn't think it through, after the incident, there were a group of children around me, and I couldn't find anyone who wanted to drink, so I couldn't help but want to drink two sips when I met Brother Chen." ”

Chen Ming smiled understandingly, "Then you can drink two sips by yourself, and I will chat with you, which can be regarded as a snack." ”

Ma Jie shook his head, "Forget it, it's a bar." If something really happens, then I can't help this group of children. ”

Ma Jie set the bottle and glass aside, and he asked, "Do you really want to find a way out of here?" ”

Chen Ming nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I have to go back to Jiangzhou, where I have my wife and children." I reminded her at the time of the incident that I believed they were still alive and waiting for me at home. ”

Ma Jie hesitated and said, "I have a reluctant request, I don't know if Brother Chen can agree to me?" ”

Chen Ming said: "Teacher Ma, please say, as long as I can do it, I will agree." ”

Ma Jie said: "I want to take this group of students and leave here with you, just leave this county." Living here has always had a bad feeling that I am always being stared at. I'm afraid that something will happen, that these poor children won't be able to survive in this world. ”

Chen Ming nodded, "Yes." Leave here, where do you want to take them? ”

Ma Jie looked at Chen Ming in confusion, and said for a long time: "I don't know, maybe go to the countryside to find a place to cultivate yourself, and seek survival first." ”

Chen Ming patted Ma Jie's shoulder, "Then let's find a way to get out of this cage together." ”

After talking about business, Ma Jie said goodbye and left, and he was going to supervise a few students to rest.

Looking at Ma Jie's departure, Chen Ming felt fortunate for Zhu Neng and the others to meet such a teacher as Ma Jie.

As the night darkens, some of the buildings outside the school are lit up, and some are pitch black. This has been going on for many days, perhaps until the light bulbs burn out or the power goes out.

The lights in the school dormitory were extinguished one after another, and everyone in the school gradually fell asleep. The three girls live in a dormitory, Zhu Neng and Ma Jie live in a dormitory, and Chen Ming, who comes from outside, lives alone. The three dormitories next to each other can also be taken care of.

In the middle of the night, the rain poured down in the dark night sky, and the rain dripped down the eaves and onto the ground, making a pleasant sound of raindrops, making the sleeping people sleep more deeply.

A cast-iron manhole cover in the school playground was jacked open from the bottom up, and a black dog's head appeared in the hole in the sewer, and then a large black dog was seen jumping out of the playground and standing on the playground against the rain. Then the second, third, fourth, and fifth dogs jumped out of the sewer.

Five, a whole five big dogs appeared inside the school, in an absolutely impossible way.

The five big dogs searched around the school with great speed and soon gathered in the dormitory building. The sound of the big dog walking was very quiet, not to mention that no one heard the dog under the cover of the sound of rain.

The five dogs lay quietly on the aisle on the first floor of the dormitory building, their bright eyes shining, waiting for the prey to appear.

Not long after, the door to a dormitory was opened. Zhang Xueyan, who was sleepy, walked out of the house in a pink nightdress and walked to the bathroom on the left side of the floor.

Zhang Xueyan, who basically didn't open her eyes, didn't notice that she was followed by 5 big dogs. The big dogs grinned and drooled after her, waiting for their prey to come to the center of the trap.

There is a three-step staircase to the left of the dormitory building that leads down to the playground, which is where the big dogs have booked to attack.

When Zhang Xueyan walked to this position, the big black dog in the middle of the five dogs was the vanguard, and the five big dogs rushed up like a tiger pounced on food.

3 big dogs bit Zhang Xueyan's legs, 2 big dogs bit Zhang Xueyan's hands and threw her to the ground, and the big dogs frantically tore the fresh meat on her body.

Zhang Xueyan came to her senses the moment she was pounced on by the big dog. The intense pain caused her to writhe violently on the ground, and she opened her mouth to call for help, but she couldn't utter a word, only a whining roar.

However, this slight sound could not be transmitted to Ma Jie and Zhu Neng in the dormitory through the sound of rain.

The big dogs were biting Zhang Xueyan while dragging Zhang Xueyan in the direction of the sewer.

Suddenly, the sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the campus.

It turned out that Wang Jia also got up at night to go to the toilet, and as soon as she went out, she saw a big dog attacking Zhang Xueyan. She casually picked up a steel pipe beside her and ran towards Zhang Xueyan, knocking on the metal fence on the corridor to remind other people who could hear the sound.

Wang Jia rushed into the rain with a steel pipe in his hand, and swung a stick with his right hand and hit the head of a big dog that was leaning on him.

The big dog screamed in pain, turned around and pounced on Wang Jia.

Wang Jia was not afraid of facing the big dog, and when the big dog was about to bite him, he turned to the left violently, and at the same time slapped the big dog's waist again with the steel pipe in his right hand.

Wang Jia could hear the sound of the steel pipe hitting the spine of the big dog, who was hit on the ground and couldn't move for a while.

At this moment, another big dog pounced on Wang Jia from behind, and his teeth bit her shoulder fiercely.

The big dog that was knocked to the ground also stood up and bit Wang Jia's throat.

In the quiet rainy night, Wang Jia was in danger.
