Chapter 24 Something happened next door
More than half a month passed,
Life in the late Tang Dynasty has always been about three points and one line. There is no need to catch fish anymore. Of course, it is easier to follow the trend and go up the mountain to get the rare treasures.
Then he did experiments and training. Occasionally, in the late Tang Dynasty, he would use bread crumbs to seduce two fish to find Qinling to satisfy their greed.
Then he persuaded Qin Ling to find a way to steal a chicken, and the two of them could eat roasted chicken legs together.
Even when she was staying with her roommates in the dormitory, she didn't feel that the current apocalypse had much impact on her life.
The first half of the apocalypse is for people's transition, she has always thought so.
If it hadn't been for a strange smell coming from the dormitory next door, everyone's life might have remained so peaceful.
It was one night. After training, Tang Mo simply wiped his body with water and went to bed as usual.
But after a while, she and Song Qing and Li Lanlan were tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
"I really can't stand it anymore. What the hell does this smell like? It's so disgusting." Lan Lan, who had turned over dozens of times, simply stood up.
It has been two months since there was no water. Except for people like Wen Qing and Tang Mo who have special treasures, almost everyone has never taken a bath. The smell on their bodies is obvious.
But after all, you stink, I stink, and everyone stink, so usually no one dislikes anyone.
But today the smell coming from the dormitory next door in the late Tang Dynasty was really too loud. It was unbearable even through two doors and two walls.
"No, I still have to go and see if they are eating something weird."
Because they are too hungry, many people will catch some bugs to eat when they go up the mountain. Although there is no vegetation on the mountain, there are so many bugs that it’s scary, and we don’t know what they eat for a living.
The taste of boiled bugs is like boiled feces, and no one with the slightest sense of shame would eat it in the dormitory.
"It's too dark, I'll go with you." Song Qing tidied up and got out of bed.
Tang Mo also picked up a flashlight and followed the two of them. After 11 o'clock when the lights were turned off, the dormitory building was completely dark.
"Is anyone there?" She was afraid that Lanlan's bad temper might offend others.
Song Qing, who was recognized as the gentlest and best-tempered in the entire dormitory, assumed the role of diplomatic ambassador in the dormitory.
Tang Mo just has a good brain and looks smiling. People who are familiar with her know that she is not a good person. When she is serious, her fighting ability is much more intimidating than the fierce-looking Li Lanlan.
"Is there anyone there?" Song Qing knocked on the door again.
Tang Mo stood at the door, and the smell became clearer and clearer the closer he got.
It seemed that not only was it the smell of boiled insects, but there was also a smell that was very familiar to her from her previous life...
"boom!"
Almost subconsciously, Tang Mo raised his leg and kicked open the door of the dormitory next door.
The doors to the dormitory are all made of wood. Tang Mo's strength has improved a bit now, and he is already relatively strong among the girls. It is not difficult to kick open the door.
"At the end of Tang Dynasty, you..."
Li Lanlan's mouth opened into an O-shape. She would fight anyone who said she was violent in the future. People who said she was violent really had never seen the world or the end of the Tang Dynasty.
Kicking open the crooked door, a huge stench assaulted everyone's sense of smell.
Tang Mo covered his mouth and nose with one hand and held a flashlight in the other hand to shine on the situation inside.
"ah!!!"
Li Lanlan's scream broke through the quiet dormitory building.
"I was so hungry that I finally fell asleep. Who is this? He's going to die!"
The girls who were woken up cursed angrily, but they were scared after all. They put on their clothes and came to the corridor to see what happened.
Everyone was blocking the door of the dormitory where they had just entered at the end of Tang Dynasty. Those crowding in the front immediately saw the scene inside clearly with the light of flashlights.
They were two highly decomposed corpses, covered with wriggling maggots and unknown insects gnawing at the flesh.
The cheeks of both corpses were thin and sunken, and there were obvious traces of dried vomit around their mouths.
There was an alcohol lamp next to it, and a small pot was scattered on the ground. There was a soup mixed with various rotten insects flowing out of it. It was said to be soup, but now there was only a dry lump left.
There wasn't any blood on the floor.
"I accidentally ate poisonous insects and died of poisoning." Tang Mo looked around and understood what was going on.
Not only are bugs smelly, but there are so many types that ordinary people can't tell whether they are poisonous or not.
If they weren't hungry, no one would eat them.
Tang Mo searched for Anyang's contact information on his watch and made a video call directly. Anyang was now in charge of the students' affairs.
A group of girls turned pale with fright. They were already so hungry that they couldn't stand up. Now seeing this scene, several of them were so frightened that their legs went weak and they sat on the ground.
It's not like they didn't know that four people have been in the school in the past few months. Last time, everyone knew that more than 30 people died of water poisoning last time.
But they have never faced death so head-on, so directly into their eyes, there is no way to avoid it.
Tang Mo also fell silent after returning to the dormitory. She was used to seeing this before.
Maybe it's because her life is so easy now that she has forgotten how hard it is for ordinary people in the apocalypse, and they have to say goodbye accidentally.
In her previous life, she was one of such hard-working people.
"They...don't the school give out two meals every day?" Tang Mo said.
No one was sleeping in the dormitory. After seeing something like that, no one could sleep.
"They are on Wen Qing's blacklist. They had a lot of leftover goods from a small shop they opened before. Wen Qing doesn't like them." Li Lanlan's voice was also low.
Speaking of Wen Qing's blacklist, several people felt a chill in their hearts.
This is like a death list, leaving a huge shadow in everyone's heart, as if being on that list is not far from death.
I heard that there are already more than 40 people up there, and these people are all going to die.
Except for a few people like Qin Ling in the late Tang Dynasty who had their own abilities, the lives of the others were really hard to imagine.
In this way, Wen Qing is indeed God, and those who don't like him will die.
Or, she just saved what she wanted to save.
At the end of Tang Dynasty, she asked herself that she would not dedicate her own space to save everyone, so she felt that she had no qualifications to criticize Wen Qing.
She was just a little sad.
Everyone is doing what they want to do, she wants to protect the people she loves, and Wen Qing really does what she wants to do, at least she gets what she wants in the prison of school.
"What about the rest of their stuff?"
Tang Mo didn't understand that with so many boxes of inventory, if the two girls saved some food, it should be about the same in a few months.
"Once the boyfriend of the short-haired girl said he came to the dormitory to play with her. Unexpectedly, he took his brothers and moved all the things away, leaving two packs of instant noodles and two bottles of water for the two of them."
This incident was quite a big deal last time and many people saw it.
"No one cares?" Song Qing said angrily.
"It can't be managed."
Li Lanlan's voice became lower and lower. She was the one who had the most contact with outsiders and knew the most news and gossip. She had heard too many such things.
The school cannot protect itself and will not care about these things at all.
The last tragic situation of the two girls kept recollecting in his mind. Tang Mo closed his eyes and lay down.
There are too many such things, happening in every corner of the world, and everyone is living like ants.
