Deep in the Living

Chapter 60 Skin
[In front of the dormitory building]

The three of them were moving forward cautiously.
The entire campus appears like a maze due to the appearance of road walls, and with the failure of communication equipment, there is no way of knowing the situation in other areas and with other people.

The three of them soon came to the first fork in the road formed by the wall.

There are even directional signs here:
Pointing to the four directions of the campus,
↑Teaching building, administration building, school gate

←Student and staff dormitory, Linzhong Pavilion,

→Athletics field, gymnasium
↓Cafeteria, laboratory building

According to the class monitor's suggestion, the best option for everyone now is to go to the sports center to meet up with the main group and wait until everything is over under the protection of the physical education teacher.

Rody hesitated, and did not follow the instructions to go directly to the sports center. Instead, he stopped in front of the signpost and thought carefully.

The monitor pulled Xiaoying up and followed, "Luo Di, is there any problem?"

"According to the description in the book, this group of pseudo-people who created the gap must have a close relationship with No. 4 Middle School and are very familiar with the school. They may even be students or faculty members of our school.

They chose to do this tonight during the physical exam, so they must have been prepared.

The best physical education teachers and senior high school students on campus are all gathered in the sports center.

With such a dense population, some students who are under pressure to continue their studies will inevitably be affected by the "gap effect" and undergo abnormal changes, just like the dormitory manager we encountered before.

As long as the conversion ratio exceeds a certain value, riots will occur.

Moreover, the sports center is definitely the area most affected by the gap, and the situation inside may have become very bad.

Let's try to get closer to the track and field to see what's going on, and don't just think about joining the main group."

"it is good."

The three followed the signs and walked into the walled passage leading to the sports center.

We have lived on campus for three years and are very familiar with the distance between the dormitory building and the athletic field. Now it is obviously much farther, and the space of the entire campus has been extended.

The passage in front of me seemed extremely long, with no end in sight.

To avoid getting separated, the three of them held hands and remained highly focused throughout the process.

After walking for about five minutes, I slowed down.

Directly ahead, deep in the passageway illuminated by dim street lights,

A girl wearing the uniform of No. 4 Middle School, her face consumed by fear, was running frantically.

When the female student saw three living people appear in front of her, the despair in her eyes quickly faded and turned into begging and hope. At the same time, she desperately shouted:
"Help! Help me...Everyone has changed!

It turned into a twisted, hideous monster, and all my friends were killed.

Because everyone was changing while taking the exam, and it was the students who changed, it was difficult for the teachers to stop it immediately, and the entire sports center became a mess. "

The girl excitedly described the situation over there and approached the three people as if she was grasping at a life-saving straw.

When the girl approached within one meter, Luo Di raised his left arm and made a gesture to stop him from moving forward.

"What's your name?"

"Fu Siyu."

"You..." When Rody wanted to ask further questions, trying to eliminate the other party's suspicion through multiple questions, something fell from his side, fast and deadly!
Snapped!
The sharp tip of the metal crowbar smashed directly into the female student's skull. The sound was so crisp and the impact was so loud that even Rody, who was usually calm, was startled.

But what happened next was quite weird.
The female student whose head was hit tilted her head and looked at the person holding the crowbar in surprise. It was Wu Wen who was standing behind Luo Di. She didn't understand how the other party could see through her.

Then, the skin on the girl student's body began to move.

Swish!
The entire skin and the school uniform he was wearing were peeled off as if they had a life and slipped away...

Only a skinned corpse was left. The corpse itself was already badly damaged, and without the skin, it immediately turned into minced meat and rotten bones scattered all over the ground.

zizi~
All the street lights in the current passage began to flicker, and a strange and mature female voice came from behind:

"It's really strange~ There are students who didn't take the physical examination and wandered outside, and they look so 'excellent'. How did you see through me?" As the voice came, the three of them turned around immediately.

I saw a middle-aged woman with pale skin and long black hair hanging on a street lamp ten meters behind me, wearing a school uniform.

A closer look will reveal something abnormal about this woman. The parts of her body that are exposed outside her clothes, such as her wrists and ankles, do not have any bone structure, as if she were a piece of human skin hanging on a street lamp.

The squad leader showed no sign of fear. He took the crowbar on his shoulder, took a step forward and took over the conversation:

"Fu Siyu from Class 12 of Senior 604 is ranked in the grade. She doesn't have many friends and usually does things alone. She has a rather withdrawn personality.

There is no such thing as a friend being killed and escaping on his own.

Moreover, this man had an obvious leg injury, which should have been caused by domestic violence or self-harm. Even if he was running away, he should have been limping.

Finally, Class 12 of Senior should undergo a strength test in the gymnasium, and they will need to pass through the track and field if they want to escape.

We haven't met anyone along the way, and the first one we meet is a student with poor grades. Isn't that unlikely?"

The monitor's answer made the human-skinned woman on the street lamp burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, I actually met someone who knows my daughter better than I do, and who is also very smart. I've decided that it's you. Be my daughter.

But I need to put your head back into my daughter's skin.

Don't worry, as long as you are good enough, mom will make sure you have enough food and clothing, no matter how much hardship you have to endure."

zizi~
The light hanging on the woman flickered for a while, and after a long interval of flickering, the woman disappeared.

"Prepare for battle!"

Rody and the others immediately stood in a triangle with their shoulders touching, each looking in three directions.

Although it was the first time that Xiaoying faced a real fake person, because of her experience in the dormitory building just now and the return of the class monitor, she was fully courageous. She quickly scanned the area she was responsible for and clenched the claw knife in her hand.

But the three of them waited for a long time, but there was no sign of danger.

As time passed, considering the possible dangerous changes in the entire campus, considering that a second pseudo-human might pass by here, this feeling was like sandpaper scraping the surface of everyone's brain, causing restlessness.

Luo Di, who should have been the calmest, suddenly recalled the encounter with the Spider Woman in the community. At that time, he was just not paying attention, and the squad leader who was holding his hand disappeared.

The current situation is somewhat similar.

Dark and weird,
Combined with the other party's ability to imitate others,

It is entirely possible that one of the three of them could be replaced quietly.
Thinking of this,

Luo Di shifted his gaze from the front and turned his head to observe the two girls beside him.

They did not turn into paper figures or be replaced. Both of them were in a state of high concentration, and one could even see drops of cold sweat dripping down their ears.

Just as Rody breathed a sigh of relief and turned his sight back to the front,
His eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of something on the ground that seemed to be moving, or in other words, "a piece of ground was moving", and the moving ground was already within half a meter.

Rody didn't hesitate and decisively swung the zombie knife in his hand.

click!
The blade chopped on the concrete floor, leaving a shallow cut, but did not hit any suspicious objects.

The ground in front of Rody also returned to normal, with no signs of any activity.

When he pulled back the zombie knife with a puzzled look on his face,
Hiss~ A wave of itching came from the legs, quickly spreading upwards, across the waist and abdomen, and reaching the neck.

The squad leader and Xiaoying also turned their heads because of the chopping sound.

"what!"

Xiaoying was so frightened that she took two steps back. Although she held the claw knife tightly in her hand, she didn't know what to do.

The field of vision,
A pair of pale features appeared on one side of Rody's face, exactly the same as the woman who had just hung on the street lamp.
