Time: 3 a.m. on July 18, 201X.

Location: West Campus of Changqing University, West Campus of Licheng City, Shandong Province.

A scream of "Ah......hhhh

Changqing University is surrounded by mountains on three sides and lakes on the other, and such a mountainous terrain is very easy to echo in the quiet night.

If it's exam week before the holidays, 3 o'clock is the time when some people stay up late and study hard. The cover of the night and the threat of failing to take courses make the hot-blooded young people more unscrupulous to challenge the order of the school, and it is common for ghosts to cry and howl in the middle of the night to vent their emotions.

This is quite similar to the night camp roar in the ancient army, as soon as someone starts, the whole dormitory will have a chain reaction, and if not handled properly, it will cause riots on campus.

Fortunately, it is summer vacation, most of the students have left the school two weeks ago, and only a few non-local students who are going to graduate school and working in the provincial capital during the summer vacation stay in the dormitories vacated after the senior students leave. The boys live on the second and third floors, the girls live on the fourth floor, and the dormitory aunts are all gathered to guard the entrance room on each floor.

It is easy for the dormitory managers to find the source of the sound, and under such high-intensity monitoring, even if someone howls with it, it will not set off much wind and waves. Now there is no pressure of exams, and it is not cost-effective to be found and punished with the chaos, and the person who was woken up turned over in the bed, and continued to sleep in a daze.

Although there were no students howling in unison, Wang Gang, deputy director of the security department on night duty, did not dare to relax at all.

The source of the screams just now was the Wanhuhou convenience store, which was located downstairs in the No. 1 dormitory. The convenience store of less than 60 square meters is just the size of the two opposite dormitories and the aisle on the upper floor, the store is divided into three rooms in the front and back, the room that occupies half of the area near the student street is the store, and the two small rooms of more than 10 square meters in the back are separated by wooden walls into warehouses and bedrooms.

The current owner of the convenience store is Xu Wanhu, the "sixth senior" who took over two years ago, and the reason why he has this nickname is because this kid is either sleeping in class or skipping class to pick up girls when he is studying, and he can pass the exam, and he is not even too lazy to prepare for the cheat sheet, until he graduates, he found that he has hung up more than 20 subjects. Fortunately, the school allowed him to complete the make-up exam within two years of graduation, so he became one of the not-so-honorable seniors.

Just finished his senior year, Xu Wanhu still planned to go out to find a job and do it first, but every time the probationary period ended, when he was about to become a regular, the company would ask for verification of graduation certificates and degree certificates. found that he didn't get a single certificate, and every boss was very happy to tell him to get out, and the reason for not signing the contract was not because he didn't have a certificate, but because of "fraud". But Xu Wanhu was also depressed, and you didn't ask me if I had a graduation certificate when I applied for the job.

It is difficult for two college students who do not get their hands to move an inch, and now they can't even mix their graduation certificates, and the value of college students in the job market is not as good as that of secondary school students.

In order to get the certificate and continue to stay in school, whether it is a make-up exam or a living, you have to spend money, and you can't tell your family about repeating the make-up exam. Later, thanks to the money borrowed by teachers and classmates, plus some savings earned from part-time work when he was studying, Xu Wanhu rented this convenience store to start a business for his younger siblings, which can be regarded as self-supporting.

After learning the poem "Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar Wanhu Hou" in middle school, Xu Wanhu was nicknamed "Wanhu Hou" no matter where he went, so he used these three words as the new signboard of the convenience store.

Working hard to open a store during the day, and reading at night, Xu Wanhu, who turned back as a prodigal son, finally moved the heavens, and at the last moment of the make-up examination deadline, that is, this summer, he passed all the subjects with excellent results, and finally got the certificate that he had been waiting for two years. Because he studied economics and management, he also learned and applied it when he opened a convenience store, and he saw the truth in practice, but he didn't expect the convenience store business to follow suit. The idea of going back to my hometown in Jiangnan Province to work with the certificate was also dispelled, and the size is also a business, isn't it?

Looking back on Xu Wanhu's store opening career, it is simply a history of successful retail industry struggle.

In the summer of the first year, he not only paid off his debts, but also bought a Wuling Hongguang business vehicle to pull goods, and eliminated the second-hand manpower tricycle left by the previous owner to Uncle Liu, who ran a campus resource recycling business (commonly known as picking up garbage).

In the summer of the second year, Xu Wanhu was thinking about whether to buy the façade house directly with the school, find a daughter-in-law to have a baby, and take over the parents from his hometown, so he would mix in the university town for a lifetime.

Seeing that the king of the college has actually become a small boss with a considerable annual income, it just so happens that this kid has not graduated nominally. Some teachers in the academy want to promote Xu Wanhu as an "entrepreneurial star", so that they can also plan a bonus point for the college's year-end assessment.

However, because Xu Wanhu was in debt for so many subjects, considering that in case of bad inducement to the younger students, the plan to push him to the "entrepreneurial star" came to naught. However, because this incident was also vigorous at the beginning, Xu Wanhu's name of "Entrepreneurial Star" also spread.

When Wang Gang came to the source of the screams with a few security guards, he happened to see the embarrassed appearance of the "entrepreneurial star".

I saw Xu Wanhu wearing mammoth cartoon pajamas, barefoot, leaning weakly on the half-open sliding gate of the convenience store and panting for breath. Seeing this appearance, Wang Gang estimated that this kid had a nightmare, and this nightmare didn't look like an ordinary nightmare. Xu Wanhu knows the courage of this kid, he has done everything he has done with the boys in their class to break into the cemetery at night before, and that time he received a report from the villagers, and Wang Gang took the lead in arresting him.

Seeing the appearance of Wang Gang and his gang, Xu Wanhu quickly jumped up from the ground, pounced on the life-saving straw, and grabbed Wang Gang's hand and shook it violently. "Wang ...... Director Wang, hurry up...... Run, there is ...... There is ......" Xu Wanhu's heart was beating wildly, and he didn't see the meaning of slowing down, and he almost lost his breath before he finished a sentence.

"There are ghosts, there are ghosts, you kid wake up quickly, and then disturb the night security of the campus, and you will be fined 200 yuan." Wang Gang hurriedly pulled his hand out of Xu Wanhu's hand, and knocked him on the skull by the way, thanks to such a knock, this woke Xu Wanhu up, "Yo, how is this slimy, blood?!" Wanhu Hou, where are you injured? Hurry up, see if the school doctor is here tonight, and quickly bandage it. ”

The chirping of cicadas and frogs, the quiet and familiar campus, and the acquaintance Director Wang in front of him.

Huh? Where is this?

What about the zombies who go around killing people?

Didn't I get gnawed by zombies just now?

Ouch, why does this hand hurt so much?

After a skull, Xu Wanhu woke up from the nightmare.

Just now he dreamed that he was besieged by a group of zombies, and finally woke up, he rolled over and got out of bed, ran out without putting on his shoes, and slapped a cactus on the counter with one hand in a panic. I was already half asleep and half awake in a daze, and then I was stimulated by the cactus like this, and I hallucinated the whole thing, thinking that there were really zombies chasing behind.

"It's a dream...... "Holding the heartbeat that gradually calmed down, Xu Wanhu slowly collapsed while holding on to the door.

"Hey! Ten thousand households! You're okay, the school doctor will be here soon, you hold on! ”

"Director Wang, I'...... I'm fine, I just had a nightmare and I'm sleepy. As a six-year resident of the school, Xu Wanhu was very skilled with the logistics teachers and security guards, and after hearing the other party's words clearly, he realized that Wang Gang was frightened by the blood on his hands, and hurriedly got up from the ground to explain to him.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, I'm really fine, you see, my hand is good, it's just a cactus."

Xu Wanhu pulled out the thorn on his palm and showed it to Wang Gang, so that the other party could believe that he was really fine.

"It's so hot tonight, and you're still concerned, why don't you and a few masters come in and sit down and drink some cold drinks?"

"Don't be, we still have to work, I'll show you in the house. Our school is built on a mass grave, and the yin will be strong as soon as the fake person is less, so there is no evil spirit, and a few of our old men will go in to exorcise evil spirits for you, and you can sleep soundly tonight. Wang Gang decided to go to Xu Wanhu's house to take a look, everyone is familiar with each other, and what should be checked for routine work is still to be checked, this kid has been restless since his freshman year, in case there is something hidden in the house.

"Director Wang, please, please. Come and help the students exorcise evil spirits. I've been masturbating too much every night, and I'm panicking, maybe I'll let the demons and monsters take advantage of it. Xu Wanhu said so, but he was slandered in his heart, I had nightmares at night, and you specially reminded me that there was a mass grave below, and this was not for me to continue sleeping.

"Eh, by the way, Director Wang, what time is it?" The wall clock used for wall decoration had long stopped, and when he found that he didn't bring his watch and mobile phone when he came out, Xu Wanhu casually asked the time.

"You kid be a little less, if you want to say that you've been in the society for 2 years, why are you still as serious as before? Do you have a fancy for the school girl? Hurry up and find a girlfriend, the convenience store business is so good, you can't have a proprietress to help you. Oh! It's half past two, and it's already the early morning of July 18th. ”

After looking around the house and finding nothing abnormal, Wang Gang planned to go back to the duty room to continue to be confused, so he took out his mobile phone and looked at it before leaving, and reported the time to Xu Wanhu.

……

After Wang Gang and his party left, Xu Wanhu seemed to have been drained of his soul, and his eyes were dull and lying on the bed.

Hearing Wang Gang report the time before, Xu Wanhu, who had already walked out of the nightmare, suddenly contracted his pupils, and a coolness rose from his back, as if he had returned to the state of being frightened by the nightmare just now.

Most people can't remember their dreams clearly and completely after waking up, but Xu Wanhu remembers the dream before he woke up very clearly. Looking back now, it's like putting a movie in my head, every plot is so clear. Most of the other dream memories were hidden in the subconscious, whether he spent hours or days in the dream, he couldn't remember, only horror and gore in his impression.

But the moment he heard Wang Gang tell the time, a dream hidden in his subconscious was awakened......
