Another student boldly speculated, "Could it be due to a Geomagnetic Storm? Ever since this Death System appeared, what were once established scientific propositions seem to have turned into pseudo-theories, and some natural phenomena have inexplicably taken on a theological hue."
At that moment, a plump girl showed her impatience and exclaimed loudly, "Who cares why? We’ll find out what’s going on in the city naturally. I don’t want to stay in this dreadful school for another second!"
The others, still shaken from the fright of the previous night, eagerly agreed with her words, all wanting to leave the school as soon as possible.
Yan Qing asked them, "So how do you plan to leave the school?"
The South Playground was far from both the West Gate and the North Gate. Any plant or animal within the campus could potentially be dangerous, and no one could predict what might happen on the way.
"We plan to climb over the wall." They intended to find a nearby wall to scale, which would save time and avoid the peril of running toward the West Gate or North Gate.
Besides, given the current state of the school, who would care about climbing over walls?
It was undeniable that this was a viable plan. However, you should avoid areas with trees, Tan Ming reminded himself.
After the plants mutated, the most terrifying thing in the school was undoubtedly the small groves. Moreover, their school was renowned for its landscaping; almost every dormitory building had trees planted beneath it.
If they were to climb over the wall, they would inevitably encounter those mutated plants.
The expressions of several people changed at once, fear flickering in their eyes as they clearly recognized how frightening the woods could be.
"There are no plants behind San Spicy Hotpot; we can climb out from there," another tall girl suddenly recalled.
As soon as she finished speaking, their faces brightened with hope.
Behind the commercial street originally grew trees. However, due to an increase in student enrollment and purchasing power, the original Express Station could no longer accommodate so many deliveries and had to be rebuilt. Consequently, a large area of forest behind the hotpot restaurant was cleared to construct a new Express Station. Currently, half of it was under construction and appeared desolate and overgrown with weeds.
"Let’s go there!" The group quickly made their decision.
They then turned around and left. Tan Ming’s gaze sharpened as he leaped to follow them. He glanced back at Yan Qing, who was still standing in place, and urged him to catch up.
Without a second thought, Yan Qing followed suit.
The commercial street felt relatively safer; its ground was paved with marble, and only a few palm trees served as decorative features in the flowerbeds at the street corners.
They had passed by those palm trees numerous times; they didn’t appear noticeably thicker nor showed any signs of aggression—seemingly unaffected by mutation.
The group arrived at the entrance of San Spicy Hotpot and then crossed through a building surrounded by green fencing to reach the half-constructed Express Station behind it.
The delivery station was only a single story high, its exterior revealing rough gray-blue bricks. The ground was dusty, smooth, and hard, littered with construction materials and discarded plastic bottles from workers who had finished their mineral water. A bulldozer was parked at the entrance.
They quickly passed through the unsealed delivery station, and what came into view was a one-meter-high wall topped with a two-meter-high iron fence.
However, at the base of the wall, there was a row of rose bushes planted less than half a meter apart. The rose vines were slender, clearly having been pruned not long ago, standing only about half a meter tall. Their branches were tied with ropes, secured to tree limbs deeply embedded in the soil.
The group moved cautiously, maintaining a distance of about two meters from each other, as none of them were willing to approach any closer.
