#32 - Meal Purchase Window No. 10

As soon as Wei Liang spoke, Lin Yi felt a rush of air surge to the top of his head.

His mind went blank for a brief moment, and then, almost as a conditioned reflex, he kicked out with lightning speed.

"Thud!"

A muffled sound rang out, and Lin Yi felt as if he had kicked a waterlogged old cotton quilt. The thick, heavy force of the impact pushed his dining chair back a short distance, bumping into the people clustered around him.

The force dispersed the crowd slightly, and a sensation like hitting wood wrapped in cloth traveled up the back of the chair to Lin Yi.

"Damn it! What are these things?!" he muttered, unsure if he was referring to the thing he had kicked or the people around him.

"I don't fucking know either!!!" Wei Liang's voice trembled, and his limbs couldn't help but shake. "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck...!!!"

He felt his blood rushing to his head, causing him to lose his reason. His mind was blank, with only the almost muscle-memory-like rapid stomping remaining, kicking again and again at the unknown creature licking his right foot.

"It's out! It's out!" Wei Liang was both surprised and delighted, his emotions a mix of joy and sorrow, and tears were about to flow. "Lao Lin, Lao Lin, what do we do next? What do we do?!"

"Run! Go to the dish return area and drop off the trays! Then leave through the student passage!!!" Lin Yi grabbed his tray. "Remember the classroom?! Don't look at them! Don't mind them!! Follow me! Quick! Quick, quick, quick!!"

Lin Yi catapulted up from his dining chair, grabbed his tray, and ran with his head down. To prevent the tray from falling, he held it in his hand, using his body and shoulder as an ice axe, trying to break through the crowd.

But those people stood there like ice sculptures, like an impenetrable wall.

Lin Yi bumped into them and bounced back, bumped again and bounced back again, with no effect after several attempts.

"Damn it... So hard?!!" Lin Yi rubbed his numb and dazed face, looking completely bewildered.

"Are you practicing Kunquan?!" Wei Liang belatedly realized, but acted first, "Get out of the way! I'll do it!"

He mustered all his strength and kicked out a right front kick, aiming at the seam between two people in the wall!

"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish..."

As Wei Liang kicked out the front kick, a crack suddenly appeared in the steel-like wall—not because his kick had any effect, but because everyone's attention was drawn to the ketchup on his shoe at that moment, so their bodies slightly shifted!

"Good opportunity! Lao Lin, let's charge!" Wei Liang grabbed his tray and held it on his head, bursting out with unprecedented impact, charging into the crowd like a bull!

"Fuck! Charge, charge, charge, charge, charge, charge...!!!" Lin Yi quickly followed, mimicking Wei Liang's actions, holding the tray he was carrying on his head, closely following Wei Liang's footsteps!

"Oora, oora, oora, la la la————"

Accompanied by roars, Wei Liang led Lin Yi out of the highly skilled and barbaric charge, like lion dancers holding empty frames.

"Glug, glug, glug...!!"

Lin Yi could clearly sense that the crowd was closing in, and he and Wei Liang were like two people trapped in a collapsing glacial canyon.

If they couldn't escape before the ice walls on both sides closed in, what awaited them might be more than just being crushed into meat patties!

As the crowd closed in, Lin Yi received an unusual feedback.

"Their bodies... are cold and stiff!"

Like wood that has been soaked in water for a long time, covered with a layer of cotton quilt and then taken out!

There was no human fleshiness at all!

Instead, they were more like corpses that were hardening!

This discovery alone sent shivers down Lin Yi's spine, and a strong sense of fear washed over him like a tide!

Driven by this emotion, his adrenaline levels soared, and an unprecedented burst of power surged into his body!

"Huff! Huff! Huff..."

Lin Yi's breathing became heavy.

His eyes began to become bloodshot.

His body arched slightly like a predator ready to pounce.

"Huff! Huff... Fuh! Fuh, fuh... Haaah————"

A low, beast-like sound came from his slightly rolling throat.

"Bang!!!"

He stomped hard on the ground, the muscles in his legs bulging with perfect lines, and the powerful force propelled him out like a cannonball!

He crashed into Wei Liang, pushing Wei Liang out with him!

"Ouch, my old back~~~~ La la la la la (Passively encrypted call: Lao Lin, Lao Lin, Lao...) Slow down, slow down, slow down, ouch, ouch, ouch~~~~" Wei Liang dragged out a shrill scream, almost rolling his eyes back.

At that moment, the crowd suddenly exploded with a "Bang!"!

Lin Yi and Wei Liang suddenly felt lighter, and the iron-barrel-like pressure instantly dissipated!

"What?!"

Lin Yi was shocked, and suddenly realized that the surrounding light had suddenly brightened.

The vision that had been dimmed by being surrounded also suddenly brightened!

"This is... breaking through the encirclement?!"

Lin Yi turned from surprise to joy, but before he could catch his breath, a chilling air ran up his spine.

The after-effects of his potential outburst had not yet disappeared, and he seemed to be able to clearly feel the gazes from the crowd, the strong emotions of greed, desire, and madness being released without concealment in those gazes.

"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish..."

Figures mechanically passed through the crowd, locking their gazes on Lin Yi, and then, they began to chase after Lin Yi and Wei Liang with stiff steps.

Their speed was not fast, even a little stiff and slow, like walking corpses.

But with a large number, walking corpses can also become a zombie siege.

"Liangzi, go put the trays away! Leave through the student passage immediately after!" Lin Yi roared, "Don't look back, even if I call you, don't look back, just rush forward, run! Liangzi! Run!"

"I know! I know! You fucking be careful yourself!" Wei Liang held the tray in one hand and supported his old back with the other, staggering towards the dish return area.

The dish return area was in the direction of the student cafeteria entrance. Now, in a straight line, he could clearly see the door of the student cafeteria!

The warm sunlight shone on the exit of the student cafeteria, and Wei Liang vaguely felt a beautiful feeling of running under the sunset.

It's just that his running partner was not a long-legged girl wearing a baseball cap, a sexy red vest, denim hot pants, and white sneakers, but Lin Yi, the guy who poked his waist with a tray.

"Lao Lin's push was a bit of a personal vendetta!" He thought of how he had often teased Lin Yi for being weak, "Despicable, really too despicable!"

Wei Liang kept diverting his attention.

Soon he rushed to the dish return area.

The dish return area was a huge metal frame with a leftover food recycling bucket. Beside the dish return area stood a cafeteria worker wearing a white chef's suit and a blue apron.

Seeing Wei Liang rushing over in a hurry, the blue apron worker hurried over to take the tray.

Wei Liang subconsciously reached out to hand over the tray.

"Liangzi! Don't trust him! Cafeteria rules! Cafeteria rules, you motherfucker!"

Lin Yi's roar, filled with intense anxiety, erupted from behind him, like a bucket of hot water splashed over his head!

"Holy crap, Emma!" Wei Liang jolted violently, his arm trembling, the action of handing over the tray freezing in place.

His heart tightened, and he instantly understood.

The cafeteria rules stated:

【Uneaten food should be directly poured into the recycling bin. Taking food away is prohibited. If a staff member asks if you need to take away food, or accuses you of wasting food, please ignore them. Remember, no cafeteria staff member will appear in the student dining area.】

Admittedly, the cafeteria rules only mentioned staff asking about take-out and staff accusing you of wasting food, but don't forget the sentence below: No cafeteria staff member will appear in the student dining area!

So this chef... obviously had a big problem!

The instant he thought of this, Wei Liang broke out in a cold sweat: "Damn it... I almost fell for it just now?!"

Interrupted by the reminder, the chef in the blue apron also froze.

But his freeze was clearly not the freeze of a normal person, but a freeze like a robot suddenly losing power and crashing.

Immediately afterwards, he slightly tilted his head, looking at Lin Yi, his gaze calm, as if devoid of any emotion.

The newest and most complete novels are first published at Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Wei Liang went to the tray return area, placed the tray and chopsticks separately, and then rushed towards the door of the student dining hall without looking back.

Lin Yi was behind him, and after putting down his tray, he was about to follow Wei Liang's back and leave the student dining hall.

But at this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Lao Lin!"

It was Kuai Hongji's voice, with a hint of surprise and the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

Lin Yi was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to turn around.

But he immediately realized something, shuddered, and rushed towards the entrance of the student dining hall without looking back.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a series of loud "crashing" sounds coming from somewhere in the student dining hall, as if someone had stumbled into a room full of metal shelves, and accidentally knocked them all over.

Lin Yi had no intention of paying attention to such noises, and didn't dare to pay attention to this kind of sound at all, but the source of that sound just happened to appear in front of him!

As time went on, the illuminated area of the cafeteria changed, and a lightless area had appeared next to the entrance of the student dining hall at some point.

And in that lightless area, there was actually a dragon-like queue!

Lin Yi didn't want to care what was going on, but this scene just happened to be in his field of vision, so he saw that dark area, saw the dragon-like queue, and saw... a window.

Window number 10.

Window number 10, hidden in the dark area, also had a long queue in front of the serving window, lined up in the shadows...

This eerie feeling was like encountering ghost soldiers borrowing a road in broad daylight!

Moreover, the location of window number 10 was actually in this kind of place?

Why didn't I notice it just now?!

"I...?!" Lin Yi's pupils suddenly shrank, and as he ran, he suddenly felt as if he had drawn a gust of wind from an extremely cold ice field, filling his internal organs with an indescribable chill.

At this moment, it felt as if someone had filled his lungs with ice, almost suffocating him!

And he also saw the source of the noise!

A chef wearing a green apron struggled to squeeze out from window number 10!

The glass of the window left him with very little space, but he just squeezed out of it.

Lin Yi's hair stood on end, and what made him feel even colder was that, facing the green-aproned chef's bizarre and incomprehensible behavior, all the students in line in front of window number 10 had no reaction!

At this moment, he instantly thought of a rule:

【After finishing your meal, please place your tray at the return window before leaving. When you leave, if you hear strange noises from window number 10, please hold your student ID card in your hand as soon as possible, find the 【Student Passage】 and leave immediately.

When leaving, if you find that you are being watched by a green-aproned staff member, and he starts moving quickly towards you, please judge whether to go to the 【Student Passage】 or the convenience store based on your own position.

Before you enter the 【Student Passage】 or arrive at the convenience store, do not stop, do not look back, and do not respond to his calls, even if you feel he is about to catch up with you.】

"What I should do in this situation is... hold my student ID card in my hand, and then rush to the student passage or the convenience store!"

"Liangzi already has enough time to escape! What about me? What about me? What about me?!"

"Student Passage!"

"Convenience store!!"

In this critical moment, his mind raced at a terrifying speed.

"The student passage is outside the cafeteria!"

"What about the convenience store...?"

He subconsciously looked around, but immediately shattered the idea.

"Start looking for the convenience store at this time?! Finding death would be faster than finding the convenience store!"

Moreover, there are several rules for the convenience store...

He didn't have time to think carefully!

So he made a simple calculation in a very short period of time, and then found that he could reach the door of the student dining hall faster than this green-aproned chef!

"But the green-aproned chef is much further away from the exit than I am, so his speed is much faster than mine..."

Escaping the cafeteria area requires calculating not only exiting the student dining hall, but also completing the student passage.

"If I am caught up in the student passage, wouldn't it be impossible to escape death?!"

He assumed that the green-aproned chef had a killing mechanism, and he had already triggered this mechanism!

"No, no, no! The killing mechanism isn't like this!"

"'Do not stop, do not look back, and do not respond to his calls, even if you feel he is about to catch up with you'!"

"So if the cafeteria rules are correct, even if the green-aproned chef catches up, as long as I don't turn around and pay attention to him, there won't be any danger!"

"Maybe, he can't catch up with me at all?!"

"Like... 'Achilles paradox'?!"

"Could it be said that... the green-aproned chef is the limitation, and the real danger is those people who surrounded me before?!"

While he was calculating, his body was already on the way to charging towards the cafeteria door.

"Charge!" Lin Yi roared in his heart, pushing his speed to the limit, shooting out like a sharp arrow!

"Student..." The green-aproned chef's faint voice came from the direction of window number 10, and in the dark area that had lost its light, he shuttled like a ghost.

When Lin Yi started sprinting, his speed also soared, and if this trend continued, he would inevitably meet Lin Yi at the door of the student dining hall!
