Many children, many blessings: Taking classmates' grandmothers on a desert island survival miss

"Grandmas, please wait here for a moment. I will take you to the venue shortly."

Jiang Che stood at the front of the multimedia classroom, clapped his hands, and tried to make his voice drown out the noise in the classroom. He then addressed the large group of elderly people with gray hair sitting below.

"Thank you for your hard work, classmate." An elderly woman in a dark red floral coat, sitting in the first row, nodded with a smile, her face full of kindness.

"Yes, there aren't many people like you who don't look down on us old folks." Another grandmother wearing reading glasses chimed in, pulling out a few oranges from her pocket and trying to stuff them into Jiang Che's hand.

"Young man, you look very energetic. Are you tired? Sit down and rest for a while."

"Would you like some snacks? Grandma has some homemade pastries."

The elderly people chattered on, showing great concern and warmth.

Jiang Che looked helplessly at the twenty elderly women in front of him and could only force a smile and politely refuse the food they offered.

These elderly women are all the grandmothers of his college classmates.

Today is the day of the school's annual campus gala.

Because Jiang Che's class was assigned a performance theme related to family affection for this party, the girls in the class discussed and decided to rehearse a heartwarming stage play about a grandmother.

To ensure the best possible program experience, the students whose grandmothers were still alive invited their grandmothers to the school so that the elderly could sit in the audience and watch the show, and might even have them come on stage for an interaction during the final segment.

Jiang Che was the only boy in their major class.

In the early stages of rehearsals, the girls in the class discussed it privately.

They unanimously agreed that adding a male to this program, which focuses on warmth and a female perspective, would be extremely jarring on stage and ruin the overall aesthetic.

Therefore, they did not choose to bring Jiang Che along for the performance.

Jiang Che himself was actually quite happy to have some free time since he didn't have to go on stage to rehearse.

However, the current situation is that all the girls in the class have gone to the backstage of the auditorium for rehearsals and makeup preparations, while the grandmothers who arrived at school early have nowhere to go.

Therefore, naturally, the task of taking care of these elderly ladies and acting as their temporary guide fell heavily on Jiang Che, the only person in the class who was not busy.

Although Jiang Che was very unwilling.

After all, taking care of twenty elderly people is a tedious and physically demanding task. The elderly move slowly, and their physical condition needs to be monitored at all times.

Who would want to be left alone in the classroom as a babysitter on a lively school party night?

But there is no way.

Who told him to be kind?

Looking at these elderly people with wrinkled faces and unsteady steps, Jiang Che couldn't bring himself to say he wouldn't do it.

We can't just abandon these grandmothers, can we?

If these elderly ladies were left in the classroom, he couldn't bear the responsibility if any of them bumped into something or fell down the stairs.

Jiang Che pulled up a chair and sat down by the podium, occasionally answering the chatter of a few grandmothers while frequently glancing down at the time on his phone.

Time passed by, and it became completely dark outside.

Jiang Che glanced at the time and thought it was about time.

The party is about to start. If we take the elderly people there slowly now, we can make it in time to enter and take our seats.

"Alright, ladies, it's almost time." Jiang Che stood up, cleared his throat, and loudly instructed, "Everyone, please take your belongings, including your water bottles and coats. We're heading to the venue now."

The elderly women responded enthusiastically, and the classroom was filled with the sounds of chairs being dragged and things being packed up.

Jiang Che walked to the classroom door, stretched out his hand, and was about to push open the door to guide everyone out.

The instant his hand touched the doorknob.

Suddenly, the world spun around!

Without any warning, Jiang Che felt the scene before him instantly distort.

The white walls of the classroom and the fluorescent lights overhead were all blurred into a blur of light and shadow.

A strong feeling of weightlessness suddenly overwhelmed me, as if the ground beneath my feet had instantly collapsed.

He instinctively tried to steady himself, but he couldn't muster any strength at all.

All sounds around me disappeared at that moment, and my mind went blank for a brief period.

I don't know how much time passed.

The nauseating dizziness finally subsided.

When Jiang Che came to his senses, he shook his head vigorously and slowly opened his eyes.

The next second, he froze on the spot.

He found himself no longer in a bright and spacious classroom.

The ground beneath my feet was no longer smooth paving stones, but muddy ground covered with fallen leaves and withered branches.

The air was filled with the smell of damp earth and a strong, grassy odor.

Before me lay a forest.

The thick, towering trees stood densely packed together, their lush foliage obscuring the sky and making the surrounding light very dim.

The area was overgrown with waist-high weeds and messy bushes, making it a completely undeveloped and pristine landscape.

Just as Jiang Che was still trying to figure out what had happened...

Suddenly, a flurry of chattering and panicked sounds broke the deathly silence of the forest.

"Where am I?"

"What just happened? Aren't we at school?"

"Oh dear, why is the ground covered in mud?"

"Am I dead? Is this the underworld? My dear, have you come to take me away?"

"I want to go back and watch my granddaughter's performance..."

Various voices filled with panic, doubt, and anxiety intertwined.

Jiang Che immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

He discovered that all the grandmothers were nearby. They had also appeared in this eerie forest, now scattered on the grass and soil.

Some collapsed to the ground, while others helped each other up; everyone's face was filled with terror and helplessness.

Jiang Che took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. The situation was unclear, but he needed to confirm the number of people first.

He kept his eyes fixed on the crowd, secretly counting with his fingers at his side.

one two three four……

He counted very carefully, his gaze sweeping over each panicked old man.

...Eighteen, nineteen, twentieth.

Jiang Che quickly counted, and there were exactly 20 people, no more and no less.

It's all here.

After confirming the number of people, Jiang Che breathed a long sigh of relief.

If any of his grandmothers were missing, he'd probably be turned into a goldmine for graduate school by the girls in his class.

After all, the person was entrusted to him, and if something went wrong, he would have no way to explain it.

Just as Jiang Che calmed down a little and was about to step forward and loudly reassure the group of panicked grandmothers, telling them to gather together and not run around,

A sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, a voice rang in everyone's ears.

The sound was so loud that it seemed to pierce through the eardrums and resound deep within the mind, instantly silencing the previously noisy environment.

Welcome to a desert island survival game!

Everyone on Earth has been teleported to various deserted islands!

Jiang Che's pupils suddenly contracted.

Everyone on Earth?

In other words, this is not a localized accident, but rather a situation in which seven billion people worldwide are simultaneously experiencing this unknown situation.

Survival Rule 1: Monsters will spawn randomly on the deserted island, so please take precautions!

Survival Rule Two: Everyone will awaken a talent.

Everyone, let's strive to survive!
