Rules-related weird stories: 4016

#265 - Let them fend for themselves.

“Whoop ~ ~ ~” Wei Liang shouted with a smile, “Closed! Closed! Window No. 3 is closed for business!”

He waved his hands in a cheap manner, driving away the trainees who were lined up behind him like herding ducks.

Some trainees were indeed driven away by him, but more were expressionless and numb, not moved at all.

Seeing this, Wei Liang didn't waste any words. He picked up his plate, walked to the card swiping machine, and looked at Lin Yi with a grin, giving him a thumbs up: "You started a good team!"

Lin Yi chuckled: "You guys received it well."

"Have you all swiped your cards?" Wei Liang glanced at the card swiping machine.

"Just waiting for you." Lin Yi shrugged.

"Alright." Wei Liang swiped his card at lightning speed, and then the four of them didn't bother looking for a table, directly walking towards the utensil recycling area in unison.

This dish was actually not fried chicken strips at all, but scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

After dumping the food, Lin Yi turned to look at the others: "Still going?"

"We're already here, we've already ordered, we've already dumped it, of course we're going." Wei Liang shrugged.

Tian Bufan also said: "Noon is the safest time, it wouldn't be right not to eat at this time."

"Then let's go." Lin Yi said.

So the group went to window No. 4 and lined up to order another meal.

And even at this time, there was still a long line at window No. 3.

Wei Liang did drive away some trainees, but the number was limited and only confined to those nearby. The trainees behind were still moving forward.

"Are you trying to save them?" Lin Yi asked.

Wei Liang was stunned: "Huh? Save what? I don't understand at all? That guy is impersonating Li Huiyuan, he can't even recognize the food, how can he continue to operate? I'm just telling the truth!"

Wei Liang continued to wait in line speechlessly.

Lin Yi's mind hadn't caught up yet when Tian Bufan leaned in and whispered: "Wei Liang is probably afraid that it will use the cognition of those behind to re-establish an anchor point, so he stirred up trouble to disperse them…"

Hearing this, Lin Yi suddenly understood.

Tian Bufan's tone then exuded a trace of indifference. He glanced at the line at window No. 3 and continued: "Old Lin, your idea just now was very dangerous."

"Don't say 'save people' in the future. We can barely protect ourselves. Don't even think about 'saving people'…"

"Wei Liang's approach is the right one. Use all available units and maximize their effectiveness. This is the way to survive."

"As for the so-called salvation, it's just an additional effect. In their state of not being able to distinguish between safety and danger, even if they escape this disaster now, they will inevitably face disaster in the future."

"Besides, can you save them for a while, can you save them forever?"

"Respect their fate and let them live and die on their own."

Tian Bufan said indifferently.

Lin Yi opened his mouth, not knowing why, but he couldn't find a point to refute Tian Bufan's words, and… he didn't want to refute them either.

It was precisely because he seemed to subconsciously accept this statement that he felt a burst of surprise at Wei Liang's seemingly life-saving actions.

He nodded silently, agreeing wholeheartedly and saying: "As the saying goes, in the apocalypse, kill the SJWs first."

"It's good that you understand." Tian Bufan nodded, followed the line to the front, and simply ordered a regular lunch with a mix of meat and vegetables.

After Lin Yi ordered his meal and swiped his card, the group casually found a seat and sat down to eat their food sloppily.

However, just as Lin Yi was walking through the student cafeteria with his plate, he suddenly had a creepy feeling, as if he was being targeted by something.

So he slightly turned his body following this feeling, pretending to casually greet Wei Shan beside him, but in reality, he glanced over with the corner of his eye.

With this look, he immediately found several people sitting together in the shadow area of the student cafeteria, including the sailor uniform girl Zhang Lingzhen, the penguin-shaped false human art student, and the bandage false human art student.

Strangely, these people's attention was not on him, but he really felt a naked sense of being watched.

One thing was certain, he was definitely noticed by those people. As for whether they were targeting him, it remained to be verified.

Lin Yi and the others quickly found a table with empty seats, then sat down and ate their food quickly.

It wasn't until they were almost finished eating that he glanced at his watch.

11:23.

"What time is it?" Tian Bufan asked upon seeing this.

"11:23." Lin Yi said, adding, "It's still early, want to… stock up on some supplies?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group unanimously focused their attention on Wei Liang, who was burying his head in his food.

The air slightly solidified, and then, as if realizing something, Wei Liang silently raised his head, two innocent eyes peeking out from the brim of his baseball cap and the gap in the plate. If he stuck out his tongue, he would look exactly like a giant clam.

"Alright, alright…" Wei Liang shrugged helplessly, "We're already here, we've already eaten, we're bored anyway, of course we're going… I understand, I understand, alright!"

He sped up and shoveled the last few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, then said: "Have you all finished eating?"

"We're all done, let's go." Lin Yi said.

Wei Liang very consciously picked up the plate: "Old rules, I'll lead the way…"

"Old rules, I'll bring up the rear." Wei Shan responded.

The group got up one after another, carrying their plates towards the utensil recycling area.

Wei Liang said as he walked: "According to my experience… the positions of those shelves will change slightly at noon. I suspect that the guy who puts the shelves has a habit of sunbathing. We just need to find a place with sunlight…"

As he said that, Wei Liang led the team to the utensil recycling area and unhesitatingly put the plate on it.

After doing all this, Wei Liang simply looked for the location of the sunlight, and then led the team towards the exit of the student cafeteria.

At noon, the sunlight shone on the south side of the student cafeteria.

And this time, when Lin Yi put the plate on, he actually felt a slight sense of discomfort…

He pondered for a moment, and then realized the problem.

"It's so quiet over at window No. 10…" Lin Yi muttered softly, "It's rare that no green hat comes out to chase me. I actually feel strange, like I'm not used to it…"

Wei Liang couldn't help but complain: "Old Lin, your fetish is getting more and more abnormal. Do you have masochistic tendencies? Is this Stockholm Syndrome kicking in?"

"Get lost!" Lin Yi said with a dark face, "I'm just talking about feelings!"

I don't know if it's because the green-aproned chefs have suffered losses from them these past few days, plus Wei Liang effortlessly took down two and a half of them this morning with a simple back step, but now they actually don't bother them anymore…

This made Lin Yi feel a little unaccustomed, and he actually developed a sense of loss similar to that of a green tea girl when a simp no longer simps for her...

Wei Liang said with disdain: "No wonder you like the feeling of being vigorously kicked into the pool by the boss! I understand you now. You not only like bare legs, but you also like being abused by bare legs!"

"Damn it!" Lin Yi's face almost turned as black as a Ni\n###a, "I didn't! No, I never told you the details of that incident. How did you know?!"

"I'm going to practice gymnastics!" Wei Liang said.

"The gymnasium is on the second floor, and the swimming pool is on the first floor. How did you know?"

"You're getting anxious! You're getting anxious!" Wei Liang pointed at Lin Yi's nose, "Damn it, you still have the nerve to ask me!"

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

"The outermost part of the gymnasium has a large area of glass, from which you can see the swimming pool on the first floor! I saw you gleefully being kicked into the pool by the boss, one kick after another, and you were still happily splashing water there!"

The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched fiercely. No wonder Xu Shunkang always added the phrase 'the boss' when he talked to him. It turned out that not only Wei Liang knew about that incident, but many sports students knew the details of that swimming class...

Even more so... in such a large swimming pool, that area was only occupied by the boss teaching him how to swim, and no one else came close!

So that was the reason!

And Wei Liang became even more annoyed when this was mentioned.

"Poor me! I was clearly called upstairs by a beautiful gymnastics-uniform-wearing girl, but in the blink of an eye, she was called away by the PE teacher... and then a burly man with thick arms and legs taught me stretching..."

"Wuu wuu wuu wuu..."

"My heart is so bitter..."

Wei Liang said here, his words filled with envy, wiping away tears and snot.

Lin Yi couldn't listen anymore, so he quickly reached out and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Wei Liang directly bounced his hand away with a shake of his shoulder, resentfully turning his head: "So, I don't care, you have to take me to find the boss this time! I would be so happy if the boss kicked me in the back!"

"Who exactly is the believer of the Bare Legs Cult..." Lin Yi couldn't help but cover his face and mutter.

"I can defect too, can't I! But I don't believe in the Bare Legs Cult, I believe in the Boss Cult!" Wei Liang raised three fingers and swore solemnly, as if he had found the password to rank up, leaving Lin Yi stunned.

"You... don't you believe in white silk lolis anymore?"

"Get lost! Illusory white silk and the long legs in front of me, what would you choose?" Wei Liang showed a very realistic look of disdain and waved his hand in disgust, "Don't mention white silk lolis anymore, I'm afraid the boss will misunderstand!"

Lin Yi: "..."

"Don't be speechless. Who can refuse a leg-skill invincible and heroic onee-san?" Wei Liang said, "Wei Shan, you agree, right?"

Wei Shan nodded very seriously: "I just like powerful girls who are as still as a virgin and as fast as a rabbit, especially like the boss."

"Wait, not you..." Seeing that even Wei Shan was led astray by Wei Liang, Lin Yi quickly tugged at Wei Liang's arm, "The way you said it, it sounds like the boss is going to chase after you?"

"Uh... heroes have always had a weakness for beauty, didn't you know?" Wei Liang said confidently, "It's the same for girls like the boss."

Lin Yi: "..."

Lin Yi was speechless and puffed up his cheeks. He could already imagine Wei Liang shamelessly hugging the boss's legs, and then being kicked away by the boss with one leg, followed by a death bicycle...

"Stop arguing about this, look over there." Tian Bufan's voice suddenly appeared, interrupting the two people's conversation.

Lin Yi immediately looked over and saw several figures shuttling through the shadows in the distance. By predicting their movements, he realized that their destination seemed to be... the convenience store!

And those people were none other than Zhang Lingzhen's trio and several unremarkable, mediocre pseudo-artists.

Moreover, of the other passengers who were initially on the same car with them, only Zhang Lingzhen frequently associated with the pseudo-artists—at least, this was the case these few times.

"They... are they also going to the convenience store?" Lin Yi muttered to himself. As soon as he said this, he immediately confirmed his guess, "Definitely, the exits of the other passages are not in that location!"

Wei Liang couldn't help but murmur: "Could it be that they also didn't eat enough...?"

They were seen walking to a corner on the exit side of the student cafeteria, and then they disappeared there.

When Lin Yi and the others slowly followed, they only saw a few shelves with randomly placed goods and a half-open gray door in the area where light and shadow intersected in that corner, but there was no sign of Zhang Lingzhen and the others in front of the door.

"They entered the convenience store?!" Lin Yi said in shock.

Tian Bufan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It seems that this is the case now... and according to the Convenience Store Rules, pseudo-artists do indeed meet the rules."

The unit of the convenience store mentioned in the Convenience Store Notice is not distinguished by identities such as trainee students and sports students, but by "having a student ID" and "not having a student ID."

And units with the "identity" of pseudo-artists, artists, sports students, etc., obviously belong to the category of "not having a student ID."

"The convenience store has already undergone a change. What are they going in for at this time?" Lin Yi thought to himself, "Could it be related to the gray fog invasion...?"

"Hey, never mind them, let's just buy what we want." Wei Liang said indifferently, then picked up two rolls of biscuits and a bottle of water, and walked towards the shopping terminal.

Lin Yi's gaze slowly withdrew from the chaotic, half-hidden door of the convenience store, and then he also chose two rolls of biscuits and a bottle of water.

Tian Bufan and Wei Shan made the same choice.

After swiping their cards, the group followed the sunlight to the exit and left the student cafeteria.

This lunch, from entering the student cafeteria to leaving the student cafeteria, was unprecedentedly smooth, except for encountering the chef "Li Huiyuan" who was transformed from a humanoid spider.

Looking at the student passage in front of him, densely covered with fluorescent lamps like stars, Lin Yi slowly stopped and took a deep breath.

The scene of struggling for survival before had not faded away with a meal. The terrifying and maddening scene was still vivid in his mind.

Thanks to book friend "usjdnshhs" for the reward!!
