Volume I, Beginnings, Chapter V. Rescue friends
"Are you all right?"
"Li Jia and I are fine, but we are a little tired after running for a long time, Xiaoyu is in a bad condition, she was bitten by a monster, she needs to be treated quickly. We're blocking the door with something now, but we don't know how long we can hold on, and something seems to be slowly approaching outside the door. ”
This situation is even worse than Tang Ling thought.
Tang Ling clenched the mobile phone in her hand, but her hands began to tremble slightly, her eyes were red, and her heart was now very chaotic.
Her friends are still outside so late, most likely because they got lost just now and came out to look for themselves, no one wants this disaster to come, but the danger they are in now and the injury of Xiaoyu can be said to have their own reasons, if it weren't for her, maybe they would be safer in the dormitory. But what should she do? Fighting with bare hands against a group of organized, disciplined, united and friendly killing teams? Unrealistic. But realistically, she only seems to have ...... Abandon her friends?
Tang Ling felt like she was caught in a whirlpool of emotions.
She was afraid of death, she even wanted to hide in an absolutely safe place now, cowardly waiting for someone to bring her back to normal life, but emotion told her that she couldn't abandon her partner, she couldn't annihilate her humanity, and be a person who saw her friend in danger and turned a blind eye to it, but reason told her that she couldn't do anything as a girl, and she rushed to the rescue just to send her to death.
She didn't want to die, she wanted to live.
But who doesn't want to live?
What to do?
Tang Ling fell into torment in the alternation of morality and humanity, and her whole person fell into confusion.
"Lingling, Xiaoyu, she coughed up blood! Lingling, protect yourself, we may not be able to do anything. ”
The anxiety and uneasiness in Luo Rui's words stung Tang Ling's eyes, her eyes were dilated, she couldn't focus, and the voices in her head were arguing with each other.
"Run, leave them alone, no one knows if they're alive or dead!"
"Hurry up and think of a way, calm down Tang Ling, you have to calm down!"
"Need help?" Seeing the tangled look on Tang Ling's face, Wang Chao asked tentatively.
"The outermost private room on the third floor...... Is it safe? ”
Tang Ling didn't know what she was talking about, as soon as she said this, she shut up after coming back to her senses, and she herself felt speechless for what she asked.
In the current situation, where is there still a saying that security is not safe.
"The outermost private room...... It's pretty close to the safe passage, but the door to the second floor must have been blocked by the students on the second floor, I think there was a window in that room, and it should be a little next to the side door on our first floor......"
"Are you serious?!"
Wang Chao's words made Tang Ling raise her head with a "brush", and she rushed to Wang Chao and asked eagerly.
"Yes, the stairs around the outside of the cafeteria are around the two sides of the house, the staircase at the main entrance leads to the third floor, and the private room at the entrance of the third floor is just above us."
Wang Chao was so frightened by Tang Ling that he took a few steps back, but still patiently explained to Tang Ling.
As if she had been woken up, a crazy idea popped up in Tang Ling's mind, and she hurriedly sent a message to Luo Rui.
"Rarity, isn't there a window in the room you're staying in, and the curtains are still there?"
"There's a window, it's still there, Lingling, what's wrong?"
"I know how to save you, trust me, I will save you!"
After Tang Ling sent all her thoughts to Luo Rui, she raised her head, looked at the puzzled people in front of her, and smiled gently: "Can you do me a favor?" ”
……
Tang Ling found a few knives in the kitchen, tied them to her belt, picked up another kitchen knife, and reversed the weight.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Zhao Chunlu, who was behind him, asked.
is also a girl, and has been well protected by several boys in the same team, Zhao Chunlu obviously can't understand Tang Ling doing such a crazy thing in order to save her friends.
"I'm afraid of death, but I'm even more afraid of waiting for death, since you can't change the status quo, then do it to the best within your ability."
Tang Ling chose two kitchen knives, held them in her hands, nodded at Zhao Chunlu, and walked to the side door.
Gu Zhou, who was standing at the door, looked at Wang Chao and Tang Ling, who had completed the equipment, with a solemn face, and was silent for a long time, and finally just said, "Good luck to you." Then he opened the side door and watched the two walk out.
"Rarity, you can drop the rope."
After Tang Ling received Luo Rui's message, she handed the mobile phone to Gu Zhou and said with a smile: "Classmate, help me keep it, and return it to me later." ”
"Okay."
It can be regarded as a kind of ethereal hope, Gu Zhou took the mobile phone and watched the two of them leave the cafeteria, and the rest of them were also scattered on both sides of the door, nervously monitoring everything around.
The smell of the seasoning that was too strong was indeed not very good, Tang Ling sniffed the sour smell of acetate on her body, frowned uncomfortably, and looked up at the rope made of curtains in the high place and slowly slid down, trying not to make too much noise.
Wang Chao grabbed the rope and gently pulled a few times to remind the people above.
After a while, a figure climbed out of the window on the third floor and slowly slid down the rope.
That's Rory.
This is the crazy rescue method that Tang Ling came up with.
There are many monsters on the third floor, and it is impossible for ordinary students to fight monsters alone, and the escape routes of the main entrance and the side door are unreliable, so only rely on this window to let people climb down the rope. Fortunately, the height of the three-story building is not too difficult, as long as you pay attention, the three of them can still come down.
At first, Tang Ling just wanted to go outside the side door to pick up Luo Rui and them by herself, so that Wang Chao and they could leave a door for themselves, even if the monster was infested in the end, they would not endanger their lives if they closed the door immediately. After all, no one would risk their own lives to save others, if Tang Ling hadn't been able to pass the moral hurdle herself, maybe she wouldn't have worked so hard to save her companions.
She's selfish, and it's the same for everyone.
As a result, after Wang Chao listened to Tang Ling's strategy, he chose to be exposed with her to pick up Luo Rui and them, saying that she was a girl who couldn't cope with emergencies, and the others also chose to help them inspect the surrounding situation on the side of the door, and immediately help them escape if there was a problem, all of which surprised Tang Ling.
Such a strange and innocent kindness warmed Tang Ling's heart.
Now from the side door to the place where Tang Ling and they stood, as well as Tang Ling and Wang Chao's bodies, they were all full of the smell of spices, and it was pitch black all around, although they didn't know what the night vision of those monsters was, at least I hoped that these pungent smells could confuse their sense of smell for a short time.
"Lingling ......"
Luo Rui, who was helped by Wang Chao to help him land, thanked him, untied the rope tied to his waist, turned his head to look at Tang Ling, his long-standing nervous mood finally relaxed a little, and he had a lot to say, but now is not the time.
