Chapter 5: Seeing the Light of Day Again
Karl stood a few dozen meters away from the shadow and observed for a moment, deciding to test the motionless shadow.
"Crackling" "Crackling" He used the switch of the flashlight to create a sound, hoping to use this sound to attract the attention of the person hiding in the room.
Lest that person think he was some kind of ghost, Carl even said sincerely: "Don't be afraid to come out, there are no more weird existences here." ”
"What I said is true, otherwise why would I be standing here unharmed?" Karl stalled.
It's just that what makes him a little helpless is that even if he shouts so much, the black shadow is still motionless, quietly crouching there. It also means that the person doesn't trust what he says at all, so he doesn't do anything. This gave Carl a bit of a headache.
"Look, I can throw things away." He casually picked up a cup next to him and threw it over, bouncing on the ground a few times, and slowly rolled in front of the black shadow.
The shadow flickered, and seemed to react. Karl hurriedly shouted, beckoning to it, "That's it, don't be afraid, come here." Yes, yes, come here. "He needed a living person to make him understand why all the people in the school had disappeared.
The shadow pressed against the ground and continued to move forward, "Hurry ......," Karl got stuck in his throat in the middle of his words, and his face turned pale in the blink of an eye. "Damn it! Don't come here......"
The shadow was not the shadow of a survivor at all, but downright weird, and there was not even a person behind it, so it moved against common sense and rushed towards Carl.
"Damn it, fuck me off!!" Karl looked hideous, took a bottle of corrosive liquid and threw it over.
The bottle smashed on the ground and shattered, and the liquid suddenly made a "hiss" sound on the ground. To Carl's despair, the shadow was not affected in the slightest and continued to pan towards his position. "Gotta run!" He immediately said decisively, this is already 100% sure that it is weird.
Carl crawled in the direction of the entrance of the school building, and the eerie black shadow was still clenched. The Black Shadow was faster than him, closing the distance by a few meters in a second or two. His condition was critical, with the two separated by less than five metres. Seeing that the door was close at hand, but it would take a certain amount of time to open the door, and this "certain time" was enough for the black shadow to catch up with him, although he didn't know what the consequences would be if he was caught up, but he wouldn't joke with his own life.
"It's too late!" Karl gritted his teeth, moved his body slightly, pointed his shoulder at the glass door, and slammed into it.
Smack......
The glass door of the school building was smashed to pieces by his large body, and Carl shuddered, and he could feel several more wounds on his body, and his body rolled forward a few times under the great inertia, landing on the green grass.
"Ahem! Cough! Cough! Carl coughed up a few mouthfuls of dust violently, clutched his chest, and struggled to his feet. He stood unsteadily and looked back, the shadow still behind him, but stopped at a junction. It was at the boundary between light and darkness, and the shadow didn't move any further, just lingering behind the door.
"Come on! Don't you want to eat me? I'm standing right here! Karl yelled. He knew that this strange thing must be afraid of the sun, so he vented his depression in the form of curses.
It screamed and took a step forward. Karl took a wary step back, and if something was wrong, he immediately turned and ran away. However, he was relieved to see the black shadow's hand turn to ashes in the sunlight. The Shadow also seemed to know that it was impossible to catch Carl again, so he reluctantly escaped into the darkness and disappeared in front of Carl.
"It's finally over." Carl knelt on the ground, looked up to the sky and closed his eyes, slowly opened his hands, and showered in the sun. Compared to the darkness and filth in the school building, how wonderful it is here! There was even a moment when Carl wanted to be immersed in this environment forever and didn't want to have any mission. However, remembering the simple and immaculate girl, he gritted his teeth and stood up.
Pulling out a few pieces of glass that were stuck in his hands, he limped towards the school gate, ignoring his bleeding hands. The wound on his thigh had been torn by the vigorous exercise just now, and the bandage was stained crimson. But he was still unaware, because he had only one thought in his mind at this time.
He walked along the marble-paved path, unlike the decay of the school building. The plants here exude a green scent that is refreshing. Karl squinted his eyes and covered the sunlight with his hands, and looked left and right, looking for a way out. Carl knew that the school he attended was very big, how big, and he didn't know how to describe it, even though he had been in college for a few months, but he was not yet fully familiar with the campus environment.
However, his body suddenly weakened and he fell to the ground.
"It hurts." Karl frowned, gritted his teeth and rested under a young redshirt tree. Karl's cheeks were red, and he could feel his head swelling a little, and his chest was heaving violently. Although he is not a doctor, he also knows that he is sick. And the illness is not light, so it can only be delayed by some ordinary methods.
Originally, the school's medical room had some medicine saved, but he didn't take it out at all. His backpack was filled with bottles and cans taken out of the kitchen, most of which were food and water, and the rest of the space was also used by him to hold some bandages and anti-inflammatory drugs. He could never have imagined that he would suddenly fall.
Carl opened his backpack and took out a bottle of water and poured it directly into his mouth. His face sank a little, and he stood up after a few minutes of rest.
"Although I know that if I overdraft my body like this, I will get seriously ill, but I still have to bring the news to the police as soon as possible, otherwise, I don't know how many people will be harmed when the black shadows hiding in the school come out at night." He thought with a calm face. What's more, it will definitely be difficult for him to find Monica alone, so he has to rely on the power of the congressional government.
It was a little dark, and the sun was about to set, and Carl struggled to make it through the way. Finally, I saw a low garden wall, the iron gate at the gate was open, and the old man in the security booth was gone. He was the only survivor left on the entire huge university campus, and if there were, there were few left. Thinking of this, Carl felt a little uncomfortable, although he didn't have many friends here, and even some people often bullied him. But suddenly the classmates who have been with each other for two or three months disappear, and it is inevitable that there is a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and the fox.
"Wow! Barking! ”
There are two golden retriever puppies running in front of the school gate, who is still walking the dog so late? However, it also ignited a flame of hope in Carl's heart.
