Chapter 5 The Ivory Tower Sinking into the Ground

Hearing someone downstairs beckoning him, Huang Xiaoworm got up and checked his body, and he was unscathed, even if he had just fallen, he didn't have too much pain. Yellow Worm walked down the stairs through the messy terrace, and a strange man in a gray fluffy coat with what appeared to be a sleeve wrapped around his left foot sat on the window sill on the ground, and Yellow Worm said, "You, it's not Egg." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not Egger for letting you down." The man took out the tissue in his ear and patted his head, "My name is Han Ke." ”

"Oh, you just saved me, didn't you? Thank you, my name is Yellow Worm and my real name is . Huang Xiaoworm walked up to Han Ke and squatted down, looking at Han Ke carefully, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay. By the way, did you see that woman just now? The woman who paused time. Han Ke also looked at the yellow worm in front of him, wearing a blue and white sports school uniform that was too large and completely invisible, with short hair, a mask almost the same as his face, and that neutral voice, which made the yellow worm look like a boy. But after Han Ke carefully looked at her eyes, he thought to himself, well, it turned out to be a girl.

"What woman? I couldn't move or speak for a while, was it because a woman had paused time? Huang Xiaoworm looked surprised: "Is the DSD-L program psychotherapy or a simulated world game, I didn't expect it to have superpowers." ”

"Superpowers? No, no, no, I don't think she's like us, not even human, because I heard her talk about interference patterns or something, forget it, don't think about it, help me, I'm going to see the tree man. Han Ke struggled to his feet.

Huang Xiaoworm hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and the tree man outside the house was still lying quietly on the ground, although a large crater was blown out of its chest by the explosion just now, but Han Ke had no way to confirm whether the tree man was dead or alive.

Suddenly, a snow-white figure ran out of the door of the underground parking lot not far away, and Lucky ran to Han Ke's side while barking wildly.

Because of the previous performance of the Bichon Terrier Lucky, Han Ke was particularly attentive to its warnings, and it must be strange to come so wildly. By the time Lucky came to him, the manhole covers on the side of the road were suddenly washed open by the sewage from the ground.

"Damn, what's going on?" The yellow worm burst into foul language again, and he was a grumpy boy, "What should we do?" Huang Xiaoworm was young, and he couldn't help but ask questions like Han Ke beside him.

Han Ke was first blinded, and then his brain began to spin rapidly, the Bichon Terrier suddenly panicked, sewage and rainwater sprayed out, and the outdoor fire hydrants also began to slowly moisten, and some even exploded, which was very in line with the early warning of the earthquake.

"Lucky has saved me twice before, and he perceives danger far more than we do, and I think it's very likely a sign of land." Han Ke said to the yellow worm.

At this time, Huang Xiaoworm also recalled the information about earthquakes that the teacher had told in geography class, and the teacher also mentioned that Huang Xiaoworm's No. 2 Senior High School has the highest earthquake resistance level in the whole town.

"Han Ke, let's go to my school." After that, the yellow worm pulled Han Ke and ran, but Han Ke's left foot was injured and he couldn't run two steps. Huang Xiaoworm's mind was also fast, she quickly ran into the pet store not far away and launched a small cart, Han Ke saw it, and sat down quickly and tacitly.

The No. 2 Senior High School where Huang Xiaoworm attends is two red street lights on the north side of the commercial street. At this time, there was a noticeable vibration from the ground, and the garbage cans placed in front of all the shops in the shopping street began to jump up and down.

Huang Xiaoworm pushed Han Ke all the way and ran wildly, followed by Lucky, "No, according to what the teacher said, the earthquake shouldn't come so quickly after the omen!" The yellow worm yelled at Han Ke.

"Do you think what happened just now is reasonable?" Han Ke finally took a little rest while sitting on the cart at this time, and he was actually a little scared when he thought about this morning's experience now. Within two minutes, the school gate of the Second Senior High School appeared in front of Han Ke's eyes.

Huang Xiaoworm hugged Han Ke and the two quickly walked into a class on the first floor of the teaching building. At this time, there was a strong tremor on the ground, and the desks and chairs in the classroom were shaken and moved left and right. Han Ke and Huang Xiaoworm squatted in the corner of the classroom, one of them moved a desk above their heads, and Huang Xiaoworm hugged Lucky in his arms tightly.

"Han Ke, did you say that there will be dead people in the DSD-L program?" The yellow worm said in a somewhat trembling voice, "I...... I'm scared. "Although it looks like a boy, but in the final analysis, Huang Xiaoworm is just a high school girl who has no experience in the world.

"I think it's very possible, after all, this is a system that is wirelessly connected to the brain directly through the bracelet, and if you die here, the body in the real world will become a vegetative state." Although Han Ke is not a doctor, he works in a hospital after all, and has heard more or less about the operation theory of the DSD-L treatment procedure.

The floor shook like a wave, the sound of glass windows shattering everywhere, cracks began to appear on the walls, the paint that painted the walls of the classroom began to fall off one by one, and the blackboards hanging in front of and back of the classroom fell suddenly.

Even though the yellow worm looked like a tomboy, he was frightened by the current situation and closed his eyes and screamed loudly, and Lucky in his arms was trembling and kept whining.

Han Ke was stunned by the scene in front of him at this time, through the window of the classroom, Han Ke saw that he left the teaching building and began to slowly sink into the ground, and it was not accurate to say that it was sinking, because he couldn't tell whether the teaching building was falling or the ground outside was rising.

This dislocation of the ground was happening at a rate that was visible to the naked eye, and it wasn't long before the entire classroom was plunged into darkness, and the high walls of dirt outside completely blocked out all sunlight.

Slowly, the tremor began to decrease, and the desks and chairs that had been shaking also stopped the carnival. The yellow worm also stopped screaming, holding the Bichon Terrier and sobbing in the corner. Han Ke took out a cigarette from his pocket, habitually brought it to his mouth, and lit it with a disposable lighter, and the entire classroom could only see the fire on the cigarette butt, and then Han Ke let out a wry smile, and he forgot in fear that he didn't even have a mouth now, so how could he smoke.

Boom, there was the sound of a large stream of water rushing down from a short distance.

"Worm, are you alright?" Han Ke touched the small yellow worm curled up into a trembling mass in the dark, and then gently put his arm on the shoulder of the yellow worm.

"I don't know, I'm so scared." Huang Xiaoworm said with a crying voice, "Han Ke, why is it so dark around?" ”

"Why......" Han Ke looked at the barely visible dirt outside the window and replied, "I'm afraid we're underground now." ”

The yellow worm grabbed Han Ke's hand on his shoulder and held it tightly, Han Ke didn't expect the yellow worm, who was a head shorter than him, to have so much strength, he felt that his hand was about to be broken, and he couldn't recognize it and let out a soft snort.

Huang Xiaoworm let go of Han Ke's hand, "Let's go out." The yellow worm's voice stopped trembling, and he tried to get up but bumped into the desk that was blocking his head.

Han Ke heard the voice, played the disposable lighter in his hand, and with the faint light of the fire, the two of them and a dog left the dark classroom.

The mud fault outside the school building is like a cage, enclosing the entire school building, which looks much higher than the six-story school building, and the various pipes that were originally buried in the ground are now all exposed, just off the cliff made of mud, and the large sewer made of cement is pouring a large amount of sewage downward.

"Grass, we're not going to be trapped in this sinkhole, are we? How to go to Shugou Hospital now! Huang Xiaoworm had no idea when she heard Han Ke say that she was already underground, thinking that it was just a floor or two under the teaching building, and the scene in front of her was far beyond her imagination.

Huang Xiaoworm looked at Han Ke again, this man was injured, and the injury was still on the soles of his feet, the open space outside the teaching building had gradually become waterlogged, the ghost knows what was in the water flowing out of the sewer, Han Ke was very likely to be infected with the wound.

"So, Lucky and I go outside to see if we can get out of here, you go to the infirmary on the west side of the third floor of the school building to take care of your wounds, and if I'm not mistaken, the staff room on the east side of the first floor has rain boots and a flashlight. We'll see you in the infirmary later. ”

Han Ke originally planned to act together, but he didn't expect that this girl, who was still sobbing in the corner just now, suddenly became so decisive again, but seeing Huang Xiaoworm's determined eyes, Han Ke agreed without saying anything.

Seeing Han Ke return to the teaching building, Huang Xiaoworm put down Lucky in his arms, "Your name is Lucky, let's go investigate together." Lucky tilted his head to stare at the yellow worm in front of him, then wagged his tail back and let out a "Wang" sound in agreement.

The entire teaching building has sunk into the ground with the greenery around it and a small part of the campus road, and the yellow bug has visually sunk the entire teaching building by at least thirty meters, or the ground around the teaching building has risen by thirty meters, and now he is like a frog at the bottom of a well, oh no, a caterpillar.

Huang Xiaoworm and Lucky walked around the whole school building, there were two large sewers pouring sewage down the cliff formed by the dirt, and some small water pipes that Huang Xiaoworm couldn't see clearly sprayed water down, and after walking around, one or two centimeters of water had accumulated on the road.

The yellow worm tried to climb the cliff with his bare hands, but the cliff was full of dirt and had nowhere to focus, so he gave up after only one attempt.

Lucky was searching for something in the greenery on the side, and suddenly seemed to have found something, because of the mask, Lucky had no way to hold it, so he rushed to the yellow worm and circled around her.

The yellow worm followed Lucky to the greenery and saw that it was a human hand holding a palm-sized vanity mirror.

After Han Ke left the yellow worm, he limped to the staff room, walked upstairs with a flashlight and rain boots, and found the infirmary on the third floor.

Picking up a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and tearing open the sleeve that had been stuck to the soles of his feet, Han Ke violently poured hydrogen peroxide on the wound on the soles of his left feet. A tingling pain rushed from the center of his foot to Han Ke's brain, and Han Ke couldn't help but shudder, and hissing made a sound in his mouth.

Han Ke carefully observed his wound, picked out the gravel in the wound with the hemostat in the infirmary, rinsed the wound again with hydrogen peroxide, cut off a piece of gauze, folded it into a thick stack and applied it to the wound, and then wrapped his left foot with gauze.

Putting on rain boots, in order to distract himself while waiting for Huang Xiaoworm and Lcuky, Han Ke casually picked up a document on the table and read it.

Han Ke looked at the document in his hand thoughtfully. Although I don't know why these two observations appeared in the school's infirmary, maybe it was Dr. Hu Mandie in the real world who wanted to help us escape the DSD-L process?
