Humans Shrunk 100 Times

Chapter 150: Someone Outside

To be honest, an ordinary high school student wouldn't have much backbone. Even if Weida Lei suggested the tiger bench and chili water, they could probably make him talk with just a couple of cuts.

Although Qiming and his friends were not experienced in handling such things like torturing, if the need arose, Chen Mu believed he could endure it.

However, Tang Jing immediately rejected this option from the beginning.

This relieved Chen Mu because if they had to resort to extreme measures, he would be the executioner.

However, for a long time after extracting their names, Tang Jing didn't ask any substantial questions, as if she didn't really care about them.

But she strictly prohibited anyone else from contacting these two.

June 18th.

28th day of the fifth lunar month.

Night.

The moon was just a thin crescent.

The room was almost dark.

Kong Qi had gradually grown accustomed to his current life.

What he was most curious about now was how his good brother Wu Xing was doing. According to that pretty girl, Wu Xing had already fainted from hunger twice and was saved both times by them feeding him tomato juice.

Sometimes he wondered why that guy was going to such extremes.

Hunger strikes were simply meaningless. Eat and drink well, enjoy life to the fullest, isn't that enough?

He had been imprisoned here for about a dozen days.

These people were obviously from Zixi High School, but they didn't seem to be on the same side as Qingbei High School.

Who cares!

Zixi High School has no good people!

This idea was deeply rooted in Kong Qi's mind.

Originally, they thought that even if these people didn't kill them, they would at least interrogate them. However, so far, it seems that these people have no intention of understanding their situation.

Why is that?

Do they know a lot about our school, Yizhong?

Or are they simply a bunch of people who dislike conflict, prefer seclusion, and have no interest in other people's affairs?

But then why would they come to steal our car?

And especially during the battle with Qingbei.

The timing is just too coincidental.

Anyway, there are no good people from Zixi High School. It's right to hold on to the end... However, that girl is really attractive, surnamed Tang, I think? She always smiles, and talking to her feels so comfortable. Although she only chats with him casually when she delivers food, she seems to admire Wu Xing. If only he had thrown away the food from the beginning... would she have held him in higher regard? Unfortunately, it's too late now, pretending to be tough won't change anything...

I really want to eat!

Kong Qi was lost in thought when he suddenly heard some movement outside.

Because he was locked up every day with nowhere to go, his biological clock was completely messed up. He often slept heavily during the day and was alert at night.

Although he was quite far from the door, in the quiet night, any sound would be amplified countless times.

Kong Qi did hear a sound.

His heart raced.

Could it be that his own people have come to rescue them?

He thought he would be overjoyed, but then he was shocked to find that he was actually feeling a sense of loss.

He wanted to be rescued, yet he was afraid of never seeing that girl surnamed Tang again. If he could be saved along with her being captured as well... No, those people with Qibing are not to be trifled with... Should he stay behind then? But wouldn't that mean his companions went through all this for nothing? However, if he goes back, would he be looked down upon, especially after what happened to Wu Xing...

Kong Qi was tangled in these thoughts, and he even had a moment where he wished this rescue would fail...

...

Among the five rooms in Qiming's dormitory, apart from Weida Lei's single room, there were two rooms for boys and two for girls.

Chen Mu lived in Room No. 1 with three other roommates: Sun Yuan, Qian Fei, and Xue Xu.

It's imaginable that no one wanted to share a room with Xue Xu.

If Cao Cao had a bad habit of killing people in his dreams, what if this guy had a hobby of farting in his sleep? That would be deadly!

Besides, it's quite common for people to pass gas in their sleep.

Because of this, on the first night, Chen Mu didn't dare to sleep too soundly, fearing to be poisoned by biochemical weapons in the room. Fortunately, several nights passed without any incidents.

From this, it seemed that Xue Xu either didn't pass gas in his sleep or, when he did, it was just ordinary gas.

Despite this, Xue Xu was still the least welcomed roommate. But with a total of eight people and two four-person rooms, there had to be three people sharing the room with him. Chen Mu couldn't possibly build a separate room just for him, and throwing him into Old Wei's room wouldn't be very humane.

In the end, Chen Mu could only set an example and share the room with him, while the other two roommates took turns.

...

Chen Mu was sound asleep when someone woke him up.

The person waking him up didn't use much force, but Chen Mu was always a light sleeper, so he woke up easily.

As he got up, he saw that the one waking him up was Sun Yuan, his roommate.

"Sun Yuan, what's going on?" Chen Mu asked.

"Senior Chen, it seems like there's someone outside," Sun Yuan's voice revealed fear.

"Are you sure?" Chen Mu immediately sat up.

"I'm sure. I woke up in the middle of the night and was going to the restroom. But I got a bit scared alone, so I bored myself by listening for sounds. And, indeed, I heard someone moving outside the main door," Sun Yuan explained.

"Can you tell how many people?" Chen Mu got out of bed and put on his shoes.

"Seems like five or six. It's not very clear since our plastic room blocks some of the sounds."

"Then, let's go out and see."

Sun Yuan was already dressed neatly and followed Chen Mu as they quietly approached the main gate.

Chen Mu was hesitating whether to immediately wake Dong Junwei and the others when Sun Yuan said, "There are five people, two of them carrying something heavy."

Since Tang Jing encouraged Sun Yuan after the last incident, he had been training diligently, and his abilities had significantly improved. Before, he could only tell the approximate number of people, and the number couldn't be too large. But now, he could even distinguish people carrying heavy loads.

Chen Mu roughly understood that the footsteps of those carrying heavy objects might sound a bit heavier, but that wasn't the key. Since they were carrying heavy things, they didn't look like fortunate survivors just passing by.

He no longer hesitated and immediately knocked on the door of the girls' dormitory.

Soon, Dong Junwei and the others were dressed and prepared.

The emergency plan they had practiced before now seemed necessary.

In less than a minute, everyone was dressed, and hand grenades were distributed.

"If there are only five people, they shouldn't be too strong. Let's go up and capture them!" Weida Lei hadn't engaged in physical combat with anyone for a long time, and he was somewhat excited now.

"Don't rush. We don't know if these people are friends or foes. Even if they are enemies, what if they have some magical abilities that catch us off guard?"

"What should we do then?"

"Let's wait and see... listen to what they are up to."

"By the way, there are people outside, why isn't the person on duty saying anything? They haven't fallen asleep again, have they?"

"We can't blame them." Chen Mu sighed, "It's pitch-black outside, and they can't see a thing. The night duty is just to cultivate a habit for everyone..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud crash at the door.

Then, a bright flame shone through the gap beneath the door.
