Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

Sometimes, the mature and steady Li Ye would find it difficult to cope with his girlfriend’s deliberate teasing.

He returned to the lower level carrying the clothes in his hands. Even though he wanted to avoid acquaintances, he was still discovered by several team members who had woken up early.

"Captain, you got up so early today too!"

The young man greeted the captain, then noticed that he was walking in the wrong direction, and glanced at the coat in the captain's hands. They looked at each other for a while.

"Captain, you didn't just come back?"

"Why is the captain's uniform so wrinkled?"

"Captain, what's with the teeth marks on your neck?"

……

Several young people asked questions one after another. In the end, they opened their eyes wide, winked, and joked: "Captain, you are not... No, it's the captain's friend. Are you already with the girl you like?"

Li Ye put the clothes he was holding behind his back. No matter how much the young people talked, he remained indifferent. After they finished talking, he said, "Double the training today."

The young man immediately wailed, wishing he would not have joined the captain's fun!

Li Ye turned and left. The communicator brought a notification from the upper level, "The development process of the fifth district has been seriously hindered. Due to lack of manpower, the security team of the third district should be prepared to leave in two days to support the fifth district."

After the morning self-study bell rang, the classroom became quiet.

Zhang Chenan looked at the dazed Song Yaoyao and called out, "Yaoyao... Yaoyao... Yaoyao?"

Song Yaoyao came back to her senses from her trance and looked at Zhang Chenan beside her, still a little confused, "Zhang Chenan, what's wrong?"

"You've been daydreaming a lot lately."

"I... I probably didn't get enough rest." Song Yingying felt very embarrassed. She actually made the poor little thing worry about her. She was really bad.

Song Yaoyao didn't know why, but ever since she stepped into the equipment room, she often dreamed of some strange scenes. She seemed to have become another person, sitting in front of the computer desk, facing the manuscript she picked up by chance, and typing line after line on the computer with the keyboard.

Before she could see clearly what the words on the screen were, the dream changed again.

She ran desperately and hid in the dark equipment room. She finally avoided the people who were trying to capture her, and then she gritted her teeth and ran out quickly.

Dreams are unreal and complicated, and she often can't tell who she is. Only Zhang Chenan beside her can give her a real sense of security.

Under the table, Zhang Chenan held Song Yaoyao's hand tightly. He had lost her once and would never lose her again.

Song Yaoyao's hand was held, her face flushed, she lowered her head in embarrassment and whispered: "Zhang Chenan..."

What if others saw them holding hands and mistakenly thought they were a couple?

Zhang Chenan smiled dotingly, and Yaoyao looked so cute with her blushing face.

"I have a lot of points that can be exchanged for a chance to go out and play for a day. Yaoyao, you must be too nervous because of the upcoming exam. I will take you out to play and relax."

In fact, he told Song Yingying not to worry about not doing well in the exam because he was there and he would not let the people in the building fire her just because she failed.

A shy look appeared on Song Yingying's soft face. She said "hmm" softly. The soft tone mixed with her sweet breath made Zhang Chenan's blood boil.

The so-called opportunity to exchange points for a day's play outside the building actually has limitations. That is, even if they leave the building, they can only move freely within the designated area, so this kind of freedom is not absolute freedom.

"After the war broke out, all resources were exhausted, infrastructure was completely destroyed, and the polluted land was barren. At first, the surviving animals would feed on rotting corpses. Some creatures could not adapt to the environment and died, while others mutated in the decaying environment and became new species."

The biology teacher stood on the podium and reminded a few distracted students to listen carefully. He continued: "These new species are complex and varied. Some of them even have the genetic characteristics of both plants and animals. Some have even evolved intelligence. But they have one thing in common, which is that they like rotten things and are attracted to rotten flesh and blood. They eat tirelessly and without satisfaction."

The biology teacher was speaking excitedly. When he saw a student raising his hand to ask a question, he said, "Bai Yao, do you have any questions?"

Bai Yao stood up and asked curiously: "Teacher said that after the war broke out, nuclear pollution destroyed the living environment of all life on Earth. The food chain of animals was destroyed and they could only eat rotten corpses to survive. In the end, some species that adapted to the changes in the environment mutated. What about humans?"

Bai Yao asked: "Humanity will also face a food shortage, right?"

The biology teacher was stunned for a moment. He had never thought of changing the topic to humans. In fact, this part of the content was not a knowledge point that students needed to master because it would not be tested.

Bai Yao's school uniform was clean and tidy. Her long hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head. A small flower headdress inlaid with red agate embellished the bun, making her look pretty and well-behaved.

No teacher would have the heart to reject a student with a strong desire for knowledge.

The biology teacher said: "There have been many famines in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. When adults could not even get enough food and clothing and had to wait to starve to death, not to mention the weak children, cannibalism was very common among animals, and humans are one of them."

The biology teacher glanced at the camera in the classroom and suddenly realized that he shouldn't say this to the students. He quickly changed the subject and said, "After the world changed, it was the continuous research and efforts of generations of people that successfully drove away those mutant creatures that would harm humans and won back the status of the master of the earth. Now you can sit here and study with peace of mind, so you should study hard and don't let down the efforts of those scientists!"

Bai Yao didn't say anything more. She sat back in her seat, twirling the pen in her hand and began to daydream.

When the get out of class was over, she went straight to the library on the 13th floor, picked up several history and biology ID cards, projected the contents of the books on the electronic screen, and read them page by page.

At the moment when the world is changing, the human history of the 22nd century is closely related to those mutated creatures. It is because generations of scientists have thoroughly studied those dangerous creatures that people can live a stable life today.

But as long as it is dangerous research, there will definitely be accidents and casualties, but there are no relevant records in these books. It is as if someone has erased all these records. History books only need to record the glory of mankind, and the sacrifices behind it are not worth mentioning.

Bai Yao watched too seriously. Before evening came, everyone else left because they were afraid of the horrible rumors. She was the only one left sitting on the chair, without moving.

The disheveled ghost huddled in the corner behind the cabinet, not daring to come out and scaring Bai Yao away from her territory. After seeing several men at the door, it shrank back into the corner.

"Yao Yao."

Bai Yao heard someone calling her name, she looked up and saw a familiar figure in front of her.

The man was wearing a black face scarf and a uniform. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The lines of his long legs were particularly eye-catching. Today, the number on his coat was 13. He bent down and met her gaze. His black eyes were slightly curved, and his light smile hid a delicate tenderness. "I didn't see you when I changed shifts today. I missed you."

His tall figure blocked out all the light. Bai Yao was trapped in the darkness he lured. She seemed to be wrapped in the faint black color, and her whole body from head to toe was dyed in his color.

Logically, her human instinct should have warned her that the current situation involved an unknown danger.

But Bai Yao turned off the tablet, reached out her hands to hold his face, and stared at him carefully for a while. Then, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I studied too hard and lost track of time. I promise you that there will be no next time. I should have put visiting my boyfriend first."

There were tiny twinkling lights in Li Ye's eyes. With just these words, he was coaxed into happiness by her. He took her hand and stood up. He said: "You need to eat to replenish your body functions."

Bai Yao checked the time on her phone and said, "It's so late, the cafeteria should be closed.

"I have prepared food for Yaoyao and have placed it in your room. I will go back with you."

In the building, food was distributed per person, but Bai Yao did not ask him how he got the food for her. Instead, she carefully looked around and asked like a thief: "You came to see me, is there no one else around?"

"No." He seemed to be in a good mood. He slowly intertwined his fingers with hers, holding her firmly by his side. There was also a smile in his voice. "Now there are only Yaoyao and I here, so..."

He leaned over, his eyes twinkling, "Kiss me."

This time she didn't need his help, Bai Yao had learned to take off his face mask by herself, stroked her boyfriend's face, then stood on tiptoes and gave a light kiss to the corner of his lips.

He laughed, holding her waist and lifting her up, holding her body in his arms. Her short boots should have been steady on the cold floor, but now with the weight of another person, it felt a little lighter.

They finally left.

The female ghost in white slowly crawled out from the corner and saw a chocolate on the table. She slowly moved over and the electronic screen lit up. The content inside was exactly the book "Ten Ways to Eat Lamb".

This chocolate is placed next to the electronic screen, as if it has been forgotten, or as if it was a small gift deliberately left here.

It glanced at the empty door, then slowly picked up the chocolate with its pale fingers and stuffed it into its mouth. The sweet taste spread in its mouth, and with a "pop", its tongue fell out before it could hold it firmly.

It quickly picked up its tongue, held its face under its long hair, squatted back in the corner, and felt the sweetness it had never tasted before.

The lights on the thirteenth floor went out one by one, and everything returned to silence.
