030 Dead Tree

Gu Ming felt a chill on her wrist. She had been prepared for this. Her other hand went towards the thing that was grabbing her.

"Ah! "

"OW! Gu Ming, stop hitting me. It's me, it's me, " Xia Xue said with a sad face.

Gu Ming's face darkened. "Why are you grabbing my hand? Are you crazy? " She was almost scared.

Xia Xue got down from the bed and hid behind Gu Ming. She grabbed Gu Ming's pajamas tightly. She said in fear, "did you hear anything? "

Gu Ming pulled his pajamas out from Xia Xue's hands and said coldly, "No. "

Xia Xue refused to give up. She grabbed Gu Ming's pajamas again and said with a fawning expression, "Gu Ming, why don't we change beds? "

Xia Xue's bed was closer to the bathroom and the sound came from the back of the bathroom, so Xia Xue was a little scared. She had heard this strange sound for three consecutive nights and was scared awake every time.

Gu Ming's bed was close to the door, so Xia Xue wanted to switch beds with her. In fact, she wanted Chen Tian to wake up so that she could sleep with Chen Tian.

Gu Ming was slightly obsessed with cleanliness. She did not like others to touch her things, and she would not sleep in other people's beds. Moreover, Xia Xue had been targeting her since the first time they met, so she could not be bothered with Xia Xue.

Gu Ming walked towards the bathroom. There was a big window there that could see the scenery outside. Of course, to Gu Ming, it did not matter whether there was a window or not. Her right eye could see the things outside regardless of the obstruction.

Xia Xue whispered from behind, "don't go over there. There's a sound over there. Didn't you hear it? "

Gu Ming continued walking.

Xia Xue said even more softly, "do you think this sound could be coming from the sewer pipe? Could it be a rat... "

Gu Ming covered her left and right, focusing all her attention on her right eye. She started to look outside, but her ears were tightly perked up, carefully listening to the sounds outside.

The sounds of cicadas in the forest, frogs, and faint footsteps.

A bolt of lightning flashed and lit up the entire dormitory. Gu Ming quickly hid in the bathroom.

"Ah! " Xia Xue was frightened by the lightning and screamed.

After the lightning, there was the sound of thunder. Soon, it started to rain heavily outside. The heavy rain blocked all the noise.

Nothing could be heard anymore.

Xia Xue gritted her teeth and sneaked into Gan Meimei's bed. Chen Tian rolled up the quilt so that she could not squeeze in.

Gu Ming went to the bathroom and returned to her own bed.

It's raining. Should I turn off the air conditioner?

Gu Ming thought in a daze. Suddenly, she woke up. Something was wrong. The Lights went out at eleven o'clock. The power was off. The air conditioner couldn't have electricity. Wait, let her think. When she returned to the dormitory in the afternoon, she didn't seem to see the air conditioner.

There was no air conditioner... ...

But it was September now. Summer was the hottest time. How could the room be so cold and still need to be covered with a blanket?

Gu Ming couldn't fall asleep anymore. She kept her eyes open until dawn.

She woke up early in the morning. The lights in the dormitory were on at five o'clock. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and changed her clothes. After doing all this, she remembered about the 'air-conditioning' . She glanced at the furnishings in the dormitory from the corner of her eye and her heart skipped a beat. There was no such thing as not having air-conditioning.

Gu Ming adjusted her breathing, folded the blanket, and rushed out of the door. She even forgot to wear her glasses.

It was too early. The classroom door had not been opened. Where was she going? Gu Ming looked at the empty playground and began to run. Although it had rained cats and dogs yesterday, the temperature was high now. The rain stopped at four o'clock. The ground was dry now.

Gu Ming ran as she thought about something.

Her mind was in a mess. Such a thing had never happened in her previous life. Whether it was at the hospital or the dormitory, did it not happen or did she not know at all?

She thought that living in the hospital was bad enough. She did not expect that the student dormitory was even worse. She had to move out earlier!

Speaking of which, should she investigate the 'low temperature' in the dormitory?

Forget it. Let's talk about it after the exam. It was more important to help Zhang Jin and the others find their bodies now. Yes, HELP THEM FIND THEIR BODIES Since that was the case, she would not go to class today. She could say that her old pain had relapsed and go to the hospital for treatment. Yes, she would call doctor Ye then.

She thought as she ran. Unknowingly, she had already run six laps. Her entire body was covered in sweat and she was so tired that she could not run anymore. She could only walk slowly.

She struggled for a while but still returned to the dormitory. She needed to take a shower and change her clothes.

It was not even six o'clock.

In the dormitory, Gan Meimei was looking at Xia Xue unhappily. "Xia Xue, why are you on my bed? "

Xia Xue said hesitantly, "just like that. " Then she jumped down and started to brush her teeth and wash her face. She wasn't afraid of Gan Meimei getting angry!

Gu Ming saw that the three of them had woken up and asked casually, "our dormitory doesn't have air conditioning. Why is it so cold at night and we still have to cover ourselves with blankets? "

Chen Tian and Gan Meimei didn't feel anything when they heard that, but Xia Xue, who was brushing her teeth, suddenly had goosebumps.

Chen Tian said, "it's probably because we avoided the light during the construction. Anyway, they said that the building isn't afraid of the cold. "

Gu Ming asked, "when did it start? "

Gan Meimei continued, "just last year. This dormitory was built last year. "

Gu Ming did not ask anymore. She took a simple shower and changed her clothes. Just as she was about to go to the cafeteria, Xia Xue rushed over, "Gu Ming, wait for me. I'll go with you. "

As she said that, even Chen Tian ignored her.

Chen Tian looked at Xia Xue with a strange expression. Gan Meimei also widened her eyes and was quite puzzled.

Gu Ming frowned and looked at Xia Xue, "what bad ideas are you thinking of again? " Xia Xue did not have a memory and did not have a brain. Gu Ming did not think that Xia Xue liked her and was willing to be close to her. They even had a conflict last night.

Xia Xue dragged Gu Ming and walked out. As they walked, she whispered, "when I'm with you, it's not that cold. "

Then, as soon as Xia Xue walked out of the dormitory building, she threw Gu Ming aside and left by herself. It was very realistic.

What a fool.

Gu Ming sneered. She did not even know how to use people. Only someone like Xia Xue, who was seen through at a glance, was the easiest to deal with.

Suddenly, Gu Ming felt a chill on her back, as if someone was staring at her.

She turned around and looked at the dormitory building. On the fourth floor, a figure in a white dress with black hair flashed past. When Gu Ming looked carefully again, she found nothing.

Gu Ming stood for a while and then walked towards the canteen. When she passed by the small forest, she inadvertently took a look. Then, she was shocked. A few trees in the small forest had been crushed to death. They were charred black. This was not the most important thing. She could clearly see with her right eye.. Under a tree that had been crushed to death, half of a face was revealed.

That was Xing Hu's face... ...

Gu Ming sucked in a breath of cold air. She thought that she was hallucinating.

However, she still ran over. She squatted down beside the tree and reached out to push away the soil on that half of a face. It was really Xing Hu's face!

Xing Hu was here. Where was Zhang Jin?

Gu Ming began to flip under the other charred trees. No, no, no!

"Hey, classmate, what are you doing there? " Someone approached.

Gu Ming stood up and thought in her mind that Xing Hu's body had been buried in the soil for an entire day. Even if he did not die, he would be crippled. If people saw Xing Hu's 'body' appearing here, they would definitely think that Xing Hu was dead and call the police No, they could not let people see Xing Hu's face. Otherwise, they would think that Xing Hu was dead. At that time, Xing Hu would 'come back to life' and return to the school. That would scare the people in the school.

We absolutely can't let anyone know that Xing Hu is 'dead' !
