Chapter 20: The Tribulation

Outside the studio, a small white Pomeranian probe cautiously walked in from the door, and it stretched out its head to look at Chen Ming.

After the alert Mango saw Hiromi, he yelled at little Hiromi a few times to warn.

Hiromi was not afraid, and after staring at them for a while, he turned around and ran away.

Chen Ming patted Ma Jie's shoulder, and Ma Jie raised his head to look at Chen Ming. Chen Ming said with regret on his face: "The festival mourns and changes. But we have to go now, and a puppy just came in and ran away. It is estimated that other dogs will come over soon, and if you don't leave, you and I will have to explain here. ”

Ma Jie looked at Zhang Xueyan's body. The corpse was covered with bite marks from big dogs, most of the nails on her hands were falling off in the struggle, and her face was full of pain, fear, and longing for life. Ma Jie looked up and said, "I can't leave her body here, I can't let those wild dogs spoil her body." ”

Chen Ming nodded understandingly, "I also want to take her away, but now that you and I are not in good shape, how can you take her away." It will soon be destroyed by fire, and she will walk peacefully, and she will not be spoiled by the wild dogs. ”

Ma Jie looked at the seats that were getting hotter and brighter, and his palm slid across Zhang Xueyan's cheek, making Zhang Xueyan close his eyes. Ma Jie used all his strength to stand up, but he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Chen Ming, who was quick with his eyes, helped him. Chen Ming took out two energy bars from his clothes and handed them to Ma Jie, and then helped Ma Jie to replenish his energy as he walked.

The two walked out before the flames closed the door of the studio and came to the entrance of the sewer, where Mango jumped in first, followed by Ma Jie and Chen Ming.

When Chen Ming covered all the sewer manhole covers, he vaguely saw a group of big dogs appear at the gate of the movie theater, and the leading big dog was the majestic Northwest Tibetan mastiff.

Walking all the way back to school in silence, walking in the dark sewers, Chen Ming can imagine Zhang Xueyan's helplessness when she is dragged down the sewers by the big dogs.

Darkness, pain, fear, this should not be what a child in the mood for love should experience, but now it is falling on her one by one.

Chen Ming remembered the bite marks on Zhang Xueyan's hands and legs, and her bloody nails. She must have struggled to survive on this road, and she must have hoped that she and others would rescue her, but unfortunately she and Ma Jie were one step slower.

Coming to the school exit of the sewer, Ma Jie in front of him suddenly punched the cement pipe next to him, and the bleeding showed no sign of stopping.

Chen Ming patted Ma Jie on the shoulder, and jumped out of the sewer first, before he could stand firmly, Chen Ming saw a wooden stick attacking him, he subconsciously raised his left hand to block the wooden stick, and the sharp knife in his right hand stabbed the person holding the wooden stick.

Fortunately, when the sharp knife was about to stab the other party, he clearly saw that the person who launched the attack was Zhu Neng, so he took the sharp knife back in time.

Zhu Neng, who was frightened by the sharp knife, turned pale and fell to the ground, he almost thought he was dying. After seeing that it was Chen Ming, he jumped up excitedly and made a series of movements with extremely fast hand speed, so that Chen Ming couldn't read what he meant at all.

Chen Ming raised his hand to calm him down, and then asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhu Neng's expression was still excited, but his hand speed slowed down significantly, allowing Chen Ming to understand what he meant, "It's okay for me to stay in the dormitory." I went out and checked the school and found no other dogs. Then I thought about staying here, and if a big dog came out of here, I would beat it back with a stick. ”

Chen Ming gave a thumbs up to Zhu Neng, this is a brave young man.

Zhu Neng smiled and asked again: "What about Teacher Ma?" What about Zhang Xueyan? ”

Chen Ming shook his head regretfully, "Ma Jie will come up immediately." As for Zhang Xueyan, I'm sorry, we couldn't save her. ”

Zhu Neng had a sad expression on his face, since the catastrophe, he has watched fewer and fewer people around him, dying by his side one by one, when will such a day be a head.

While Zhu Neng was grieving, Ma Jie and Mango also came out of the sewers. There was no sadness on Ma Jie's face, only perseverance remained, and he patted Zhu Neng's shoulder, "I'm sorry, I didn't save her." But I'll take care of you. You're a man, the teacher needs you to cheer up, and there are two classmates behind you who need your help. ”

Zhu Neng nodded and stood next to Ma Jie.

Chen Ming controlled the manhole cover to float slowly, move the top of the sewer laterally, and then fall down to seal the sewer again. Zhu Neng and Ma Jie also brought many tables, chairs and benches from the school classroom and threw them on it to form a hill, and the tired three returned to the dormitory, locked the doors and windows and fell asleep.

When Chen Ming woke up, he was already in the third day of the sun.

Chen Ming turned over and got up, and the sound of this series of movements woke up Ma Jie on the bed on the side, Ma Jie sat up and nodded at Chen Ming.

On the bed not far away, Wang Jia was awake from the bed, and Zhang Xueying was sitting on the side taking care of her.

After Chen Ming and Ma Jie washed up, they sat at the dining table and ate quietly. The atmosphere at the dinner table was solemn and sad, and the two silently replenished the physical deficit caused by the use of their abilities.

The dishes and rice on the table all disappeared, and Chen Ming looked at Ma Jie, who had a resolute face, and asked, "How did you come back to life?" ”

Ma Jie's face showed a painful look, probably remembering something sad, "My girlfriend is also a teacher at this school, she can't speak, she teaches sign language here, and I came here to be a teacher for her." I hurt her, I hurt her, and if it weren't for me, she wouldn't have died. ”

Chen Ming looked at Ma Jie with understanding.

Ma Jie said with tears in his eyes: "I like to sing, and I was singing to her in the dormitory when the accident happened. That's one of my favorite songs, and one of her favorite songs. But I shouldn't sing, I shouldn't sing......"

Chen Ming patted the back of Ma Jie's hand on the table and asked, "Then when did you come back to life?" ”

Ma Jie wiped away his tears, took a deep breath and said, "If the resurrection you are talking about is to restore consciousness, it should not be long, and it will only be dinner time when I have consciousness again." But I had already noticed that something was wrong outside the school, all the people who could talk in the school had disappeared, and it was only when I saw someone on the Internet who posted a post reminding everyone not to talk, and I knew that talking would cause death. ”

Chen Ming asked again, "Have you ever seen other people talk about death?" ”

Ma Jie nodded and said, "I saw one from afar at the school gate. ”

Chen Ming asked excitedly, "Then did you see a red eyeball appear?" Is there a figure calling you to him in your dreams? ”

Ma Jie shook his head suspiciously, "No, there is nothing special except that I found that I could control the fire." ”

Chen Ming nodded dejectedly. Why can't anyone else see or hear it, is it really as Zhao Sha said, only he is special, and he is what the mysterious mother urgently needs?

Speaking of abilities, Ma Jie asked curiously, "What's going on with this ability?" ”

Chen Ming beckoned to a metal rod in the distance, and the metal rod flew over and stopped in front of Chen Ming. Then the rod was slowly bent, slowly straightened, and finally broken, "I can control the metal magnetically." It can be tiring and you have to concentrate at first, but after a few days of exercise, I have found that I can reduce the amount of energy I consume, and I can also focus on controlling the same metal object while doing other things. ”

Ma Jie nodded thoughtfully, "Then what do you mean, as long as we keep practicing, sooner or later we can become superhuman-like people in the movie." ”

Chen Ming nodded.

Ma Jie took out the lighter, lit a flame, and then controlled it with his palm to the flame. After a while, Ma Jie put down the lighter, staring at the palm of his right hand, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, a small flame suddenly appeared in Ma Jie's palm, warm as the rising sun in early winter.

The rest of the time, Chen Ming and Ma Jie agreed that as long as Wang Jia's body recovered, they would find a way to get a car to leave the county. During this time, the two of them must work hard to improve their ability to use their abilities.

So from today on, Chen Ming used the school's sports facilities to set up many obstacles in the playground, he ran quickly across the single-plank bridge, quickly bypassed the traffic cone, and the aerial boom, making sure to do this series of movements while being able to control the sharp knife to fly around him, and stab him directly at the target he installed on the wall when he needed to.

At night, Chen Ming sat cross-legged like a Taoist cultivator, with the sharp knife on his lap. He closed his eyes and used the mental power he felt to touch the sharp knife to disassemble the sharp knife, he saw the lines on the sharp knife, and saw the damage when the sharp knife was sharpened. He controls the alteration of the knife's texture, and he repairs the knife's damage.

Chen Ming believed that if one day he could control these metal atoms at the atomic level, his cultivation would be at home.

Ma Jie, on the other hand, is in a different way from Chen Ming, he is studying every day how to release the strongest heavenly fire at the lowest cost, and he believes that as long as there is fire in front of me, all the ghosts and spirits can be dispersed.

Three days have passed, and Wang Jia's condition has gradually improved, but her mental state is still not good, with a low-grade fever, fear of wind, and fear of water.

Zhu Neng, who was in a hurry, rushed into the book tower, and after a long time, he came out with a medical common sense book, and he turned the book to the middle page and handed it to Ma Jie.

The book reads: rabies, before the appearance of excitement, most patients have low-grade fever, drowsiness, lack of appetite, a few have nausea, vomiting, headache (mostly in the occipital region), back and low back pain, general malaise, etc.; Sensitivity to stimuli such as pain, sound, light, and wind, and a feeling of tightness in the throat.

Ma Jie closed his eyes in pain, why is God so cruel to give these children so much suffering?

Chen Ming took the book and looked at it, and he knew it in his heart. Looking at the painful Ma Jie, he slapped Ma Jie hard, Ma Jie opened his eyes and looked at Chen Ming, he was not beaten and angry, only pain.

Chen Ming pointed to the outside of the school and said: "The hospitals in the county definitely have rabies vaccines, and we still have a chance." Even if the vaccine can't be cured, we still have one last way to go. ”

Ma Jie's eyes lit up, "What way?" ”

Chen Ming shook his head, "That road is nine deaths, let's talk about it then." Go to the hospital first. ”
