A red light penetrated the walls and illuminated the entire basketball court at once.
Immediately afterwards, the entire space began to deform.
The walls around it gradually changed from solid objects to a translucent state.
The monsters hidden outside the basketball court, appeared before everyone’s eyes once the walls became transparent.
When everyone looked up, they saw that the space outside the basketball court was densely packed with countless monsters.
Some of the monsters were thin, with extraordinarily long limbs like spiders, lying on the walls and salivating at the people inside the basketball court.
Others were transformed into moving mountains of flesh, with countless tentacles twitching and twisting in the void and thousands of eyes growing so densely that just looking at them made the eyes sting, as if their very souls were being tainted.
As the people inside the basketball court saw them, the monsters also saw the crowd that was there.
The hungry and thirsty monsters swarmed over each other, their scarlet eyes staring at every living person greedily, eager to rush up and tear all of them apart.
At the sudden sight of such a horrific scene, the timid ones screamed and almost fainted on the spot.
Everyone clung together in fear and looked at Yu Ning for help.
Ji Mingxia was talking to Yu Ning when he suddenly saw the scene around him change into this, and he unconsciously gripped Yu Ning’s hand tightly.
“The passage is open.” Yu Ning said as he looked at the place where the red light was spreading.
Ji Mingxia followed that light and looked through the layers of space, his gaze eventually landing on the red classroom.
“Shall we go out now?” Ji Mingxia asked.
The walls around them were piled high with monsters, and the passage between the basketball court and the classroom was densely packed with these creatures.
Even though it was known that the monsters couldn’t come through the barrier for the time being, the visual effect was extremely frightening.
Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning could bear it, but many of those present were timid. They were so scared that their legs went weak just from being surrounded by monsters and they wouldn’t dare weave through the passage and flee to the red classroom.
“Time is running out, let’s go.” Yu Ning said, and he took the initiative to step forward.
With him leading the way, everyone felt slightly more at ease and gathered the courage to follow Yu Ning out the door together.
The crowd had only just begun to move when the monsters around them roared and began to bang against the walls frantically.
Those who were timid screamed and huddled together, not daring to go any further for fear that the monsters would break through the barrier and swallow them up.
Ji Mingxia saw that most people were scared, so he hurriedly said, “Keep up with Yu Ning, don’t end up at the end, the basketball court is no longer safe!”
At these words, everyone gritted their teeth as they rushed out.
Ji Mingxia arranged for the crowd to move out one by one and he only left when he was sure that the basketball court was empty.
Strangely enough, as Ji Mingxia approached the passage, the monsters, who had just gone berserk, suddenly quieted down and stood on either side obediently, not daring to make any more noise.
Ji Mingxia only thought that the basketball court was empty and the monsters lost interest, so he calmed down and quickly followed the crowd.
Between him and Yu Ning were dozens of people in the long, thin passage. Ji Mingxia could not see the scene in front of him, so he could only try to guard the rear.
After walking for about ten minutes or so, all of them arrived at the red classroom.
The door Liu Lin had opened was still open, and Yu Ning propped his hand on the door, allowing the group of hungry and cold people to walk out in turn.
The whole process was incredibly smooth.
Ji Mingxia watched everyone leave the blood red classroom, walk out along the ground floor of the hotel and finally leaving the place through the main entrance. He breathed a sigh of relief when the last one left and joyfully walked up to Yu Ning’s side.
Their initial purpose for coming here was to see Ke Chengxuan off.
Little did they know that not only would they be trapped, but Ji Mingxia would also get separated from Yu Ning, and both of them would almost die.
Luckily, nothing bad happened, and it can only be regarded as a scary journey.
After getting out of here, they could go back to Grandma Ji’s house, rest for a few more days, and then go to school for their final exams. After which, he would take Yu Ning home for the New Year ……
Everything was going in a good direction, he had told Yu Ning everything, and there were no more twists and turns that could keep them apart.
When he thought of this, Ji Mingxia was in a happier mood. He pulled Yu Ning and together, they stepped over the threshold and returned to the ground floor of the hotel.
The door to the ground floor of the hotel was already open and the air outside was blowing in.
Ji Mingxia glanced outside, and he didn’t know if it was his illusion. It was less than a day after he had entered the blocked area, but when he came out again and looked outside, he felt that his senses had become sharper and acute, and that the whole world was almost becoming transparent in his eyes.
Ji Mingxia’s eyes saw through the hotel doors and saw the scene far away.
He saw the people who had escaped rush out of the cordoned-off area.
Saw the worried police officers beyond the cordoned-off area.
And further away, the worried residents of Funan County walking back and forth with sad faces.
He could even see the news displayed on the screen of a mobile phone someone was holding.
[Recently, there have been frequent catastrophes around the world ……]
Ji Mingxia stared blankly, unable to tell whether he could really see that far, or whether he had been trapped for too long and thus had an illusion.
The confused Ji Mingxia did not notice that when he left the blocked area, the whole world changed vaguely.
The energy in the air became excited and violent, rushing towards his direction one after another. Even the air from outside blew over Ji Mingxia’s body and swirled around him.
At the same time, the sealed space behind him became distorted, as if some mechanism had been unlocked.
Countless classrooms, dormitories, hotel rooms etc, all the spaces felt like they had been folded.
The densely packed monsters were pushed forward by the layers of squeezed space, like ants floating on the waves of the sea. They got more and more crowded and rampantly spread out along the waves of space.
Just as they were about to swarm to Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia, countless mysterious items suddenly emerged from the void and like a pair of huge hands, completely wrapped themselves around the monsters.
The “hands” slowly tightened, and the monsters were gradually squeezed together. In the end, both the mysterious items and the monsters coalesced into a single mass and turned into a chaotic light.
When the light had completely fused, it flew straight towards Ji Mingxia with a swoosh.
Just when the light was about to enter Ji Mingxia’s body, a pair of hands suddenly blocked Ji Mingxia’s back.
The stream of light hesitated for a moment, intending to go around, but in the next instant, Yu Ning held out the his other hand with the ring and pressed it fiercely, directly pressing the stream of light into his body.
The moment the stream of light entered his body, Yu Ning tensed up and he could not restrain himself from letting out a slight muffled groan.
Ji Mingxia, who was in a daze, heard Yu Ning and he turned his head to look at him. He saw that Yu Ning’s body looked as if it was about to boil over, the veins on his forehead and arms were throbbing. The grey in his eyes became more transparent, and the depths of his eyes seemed to have a burning light.
Ji Mingxia was startled and hurriedly held Yu Ning: “Yu Ning! What’s wrong with you?!”
Yu Ning’s pale skin was slightly reddened, he desperately tried to hold back the pain, panting violently for several times.
Seeing that Ji Mingxia was worried, Yu Ning wanted to tell Ji Mingxia that he was fine, but before he could say anything, a trace of black blood spilled out along the corner of his mouth.
His skin was pale and transparent, which made the black blood even more shocking to the eyes.
Ji Mingxia sucked in a cold breath and started panicking: “You’re injured! Were you injured when clearing the passage for us …… I’ll help you get to the police and we’ll go to the hospital ……”
“No ….” Yu Ning gritted his teeth and said, “Mingxia, take me out of here …… to a place with fewer people.”
Ji Mingxia saw that with every word he said, the black blood coming out of his mouth kept increasing.
Ji Mingxia was so worried and upset, he wanted to take Yu Ning to the hospital for treatment, but Yu Ning would rather grit his teeth and endure than go to the hospital.
Ji Mingxia had no choice but to say, “Okay, I’ll take you away. I’ll carry you, don’t hold back, tell me if there’s anything ……”
Yu Ning twitched slightly in pain, Ji Mingxia turned around and placed Yu Ning on his back, taking him out of this cold and gloomy place first.
Ji Mingxia was a bit shorter than Yu Ning, and in contrast to Yu Ning’s body full of smoothly defined muscles, Ji Mingxia was on the slim and youthful side.
Yu Ning could carry him with ease, but at this moment, it was Ji Mingxia who had to carry him.
He struggled to carry Yu Ning on his back, but somehow managed to succeed in his maneuvers. People will have a burst of potential in special situations.
