desolate

White walls, gray tiles, green ivy and honeysuckle winding out of the five-meter-high ramparts, as well as newly painted red characters on the walls, the slogans that have worn calluses out of ears will now make them eyes occupied.

Before sunrise, the sky was green with crab shells, and the nightingale hid in the forest, occasionally calling twice to refresh people.

In another 2 minutes, the wake-up call will wake everyone up on time.

Zhou Ze was lying flat on the bed, and in front of him was the upper bunk, on which there were many marks left by the previous person who lived here, most of which were left with some kind of hard but not sharp objects.

He has not carefully identified the content, because he is more willing to listen to the English words and Chinese texts recited by people in the corridor than to identify meaningless traces.

When the wake-up call rang, Zhou Ze was already going to the public bathroom to wash up.

Accompanied by the sound of the horn, the sound of getting up gradually spread from the dormitories on this floor. Zhou Ze walked through the passing students and walked to a long washbasin.

He glanced at his watch, it was 10 minutes before the morning exercise assembly.

Some people ran into the public bathroom while wearing trousers and holding a basin, some people were reciting books in the hallway as if they were reciting scriptures, some were cursing something in a low voice, and some were crying.

Although everyone was in a hurry, after the crowd dispersed, there was no mess left. Every corner was clean and every item was neatly placed.

Zhou Ze passed by these people again, and then walked to the open space in front of the playground within the stipulated time.

The instructor increased the number of squats and laps for latecomers.

The experience of running in winter is very bad, and the throat will be very sore. If there is wind, it will be even worse. Fortunately, there is no wind today, but the sky is relatively cloudy. Zhou Ze finished the whole journey at the end of the team. At the end, he had symptoms of hypoglycemia. The footsteps shook for a while.

Morning exercises are followed by morning reading. It is said that such a time arrangement is to make the students full of energy for a day.

Zhou Ze thought it was useless, but the school thought it was useful, so in order to prove this point, the student with a low voice was punished to stand.

It really worked.

"As I said yesterday, today is the basic test. After breakfast, each of you will go to your own test room to take the test. After the test in the afternoon, you will continue your self-study in the evening."

His class teacher is an old bald donkey, surnamed Cao, with a cleaner head than his face, and he always has a calm and arrogant expression. The students are very afraid of him.But parents like it very much, because the class rate he taught last year exceeded 90.00%, and he is a well-known excellent teacher in our school.

It has been three weeks since Zhou Ze came to this school. In the first two weeks of military training, all kinds of physical training have trained people so that they have no brains or thoughts.

Now thinking that the bones of these new students should be worn out, the principal can't wait to start the test.

Zhou Ze walked into the examination room without interest.

Of course, he couldn't get interested. He only slept for two hours last night, and he was even a little worried that he would be lethargic for the next exam.

Examination discipline is very strict. The small classroom is supervised by two cameras and three teachers. Thirty students dare not take a breath.

Zhou Ze didn't fall asleep as he imagined, but the situation was not much better - no matter how hard he racked his brains to recall what he had learned, there were still large blanks on the paper.

In just half a month, his memory deteriorated again; anxiety, irritability, insomnia, and anorexia also gradually appeared.

Just like that final exam, I obviously reviewed it for a long time, but my grades were still not satisfactory.

On the paper, the result of the second calculation was different from the first time. Zhou Ze struggled for a while, and filled in the second answer by counting troops.

Fortunately, at the saddest time, he finally learned to entertain himself.

After the exam in the afternoon, there is a short meal time. They can’t leave the school. They don’t have a mobile phone. There are two canteens in the school for them to choose from.

But the food in the teacher's cafeteria is delicious.

Zhou Ze and Ma Wenjing came to report together and ate once that day, so that they almost threw up when they ate in the student cafeteria.

All of these benefit from the anti-stress education advocated by the school.

Of course, it is not that there are no students who resist, but with the permission of their parents, the school has a lot of ways to subdue these young boys who have never been out of society.

Zhou Ze, on the other hand, knew that he was afraid of pain, suffering, tiredness, and hunger, so he became the most obedient among this group of students.

Because of the system, it is rare for students to be in groups in this school. It is rare for two students to be together. Most of the time, everyone is alone.

In the cafeteria, everyone lowered their heads, and Zhou Ze went straight to the corner and sat down.

There were three students sitting at the table behind him. Seeing Zhou Ze approaching, they sized him up cautiously. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they saw that Zhou Ze was a freshman in military training uniform, but his voice was still much quieter.

Ten minutes before the end of lunch, Zhou Ze saw in the reflection of the window that there was only one boy left at the table behind him.

The man lowered his head, unable to see his face clearly, and the food on the plate in front of him barely moved.

As soon as Zhou Ze stood up here, he raised his head vigilantly, and the two immediately looked at each other.

Zhou Ze's eyes paused, but he didn't stay, and quickly turned his head and left.

Evening self-study starts at 06:30 and ends at 10:30 p.m. After that, there is half an hour of washing time, and the water and electricity are cut off on time at [-]:[-].As soon as the harsh bell rang, the students quickly put down the things in their hands like a conditioned reflex, and rushed to the direction of the dormitory building.

If the city's qualified colleges and universities jointly organize a sprint competition, the students of this school should be able to win the award as a grand slam.

Zhou Ze moved a little slower, so he had to wait in line outside the bathroom for a few minutes. When he finished washing and returned to the dormitory, several other roommates had already lay down.

However, there was another one who didn't go to bed. I didn't know what to look for in the dormitory, and the bed was turned into a mess.

Out of politeness, Zhou Ze asked, "What's wrong?"

The boy who was looking for something ignored him, but the person who lived in the upper bunk answered: "In the evening self-study, the instructor checked the contraband. It seems that Yang Yu's things have been confiscated."

"Didn't you check it once when you reported it?"

"Who knows."

The content of the contraband inspected by the instructor is very wide. A series of extracurricular books, electronic products, etc. are included in the school’s list of prohibited items. If found, they will be confiscated and criticized, and then the monthly departure from school will be cancelled. Opportunity, after two notifications, a demerit will be recorded on the personal file.

Yang Yu was looking for things as soon as he came back, and he didn't even have time to wash up, he was still wearing his military training uniform during the day.

Zhou Ze walked to the cabinet next to him to put things in, and glanced at him while tidying up.

As if feeling the gaze, Yang Yu raised his head bluntly.

"The exhaust fan in the public toilet." Zhou Ze said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Yang Yu didn't react immediately, but when he realized what might happen, the momentary stiffness was in sharp contrast to the panic afterwards.

"Where is he going? Lights out soon..."

"I'm going to the toilet."

After Zhou Ze explained, he walked out of the dormitory.

There are still 5 minutes before the lights are turned off, and students are not allowed to wander outside after the lights are turned off in the dormitory, so there are almost no people in the corridor at this moment, and you can see the bottom at a glance.

Zhou Ze found Yang Yu who was struggling on the door of the cubicle in the public toilet.

He leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and kindly reminded: "There is a stool over there."

The sudden sound startled Yang Yu and almost fell off the door, but when he saw Zhou Ze, his first reaction was defensive: "...Why are you here?"

"Help you."

Yang Yu dubiously moved the stool in the corner to his feet, and finally reached the mobile phone in the exhaust fan.

He wiped his phone on his clothes, then carefully put the stool back to its original position, and finally looked at Zhou Ze with complicated eyes: "Did you see it this afternoon...?"

Zhou Ze slightly raised his eyebrows, acquiescing.

Yang Yu asked again: "Then why did you help me?"

Zhou Ze pointed to the mobile phone in his pocket: "Lend it to me."

Yang Yu hesitated for a moment, but before he could say anything, Zhou Ze suddenly left the wall and stood up straight with a very cold expression: "The instructor is going out, you hide your things yourself, and we will talk about other things tomorrow."

After reminding these, he left quickly, and lay down and covered the quilt before turning off the lights.

The moonlight shone coldly on the concrete floor, and at the end of the corridor, another white light suddenly appeared rampantly, flashing across every window like lightning.

Yang Yu huddled under the quilt, holding the palm-sized mobile phone tightly in his arms. Even though his right shoulder was sore, he still didn't dare to turn over.

In the crevice on the raised side of the quilt, he saw an oval light spot streaking across the ground from time to time.

The footsteps stopped at the door of their dormitory for about ten seconds before leaving.

... Huh, there is no danger.

Breathing fresh air again, Yang Yu still had lingering fears.

Thinking of what happened today, he subconsciously looked at the person on the opposite bed...and fell asleep?

……

Although he went to bed early, Zhou Ze didn't sleep well that night.

It should be said that he didn't sleep well every night.

In addition to the reason that the bed board is too hard and too narrow, it is more because he has no way to sleep well now, either it is difficult to fall asleep, or he wakes up early, even if he is unable to fall asleep due to lack of sleep, it will still be difficult to fall asleep at night .

The same is true today.

Before dawn, Zhou Ze woke up.

The night before dawn is a rich blue, and there are only a short two hours a day. The world seems to wake up from the depths of the sea, and all mirrors are empty. It rises slowly from the bottom, and the extremely pure blue will fade with time.

Fortunately, he never found these two hours difficult.

Because everyone is in a dream, he can be in a daze, can be angry, can be sad, and can miss.

But something is different today——

Zhou Ze turned over and felt something hard under the pillow.

It was Yang Yu who secretly gave him the phone.

A very old black flip phone that only supports calling and texting... oh yes, it can also take pictures, although the picture quality is like shit.

The phone screen emits a faint light, which is so dazzling at this moment.

Then, he seriously pressed the number he knew so well.

In fact, there is nothing I want to say, and I don’t want to ask if I didn’t understand, just listen to his voice.

But two seconds after the call was made, there was only an indifferent woman's voice on the receiver.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is empty..."
