Global Collapse

Chapter 242 Laboratory and Doctor
Ziliang slowly twisted his neck to look up.

Above him, a face was pressed against the windowpane, grinning and staring intently at him.

The windows on the wall facing the corridor in the classroom are all about a person's height, so it's impossible for a normal person to press their face tightly against them.

The moment he came into contact with that face, Ziliang immediately pulled his head back and hid under the table.

Seeing this, the frail willow understood something and couldn't help but slightly raise her head to look in the direction Ziliang had been gazing.

But the space under the table was too cramped, and with two people huddled together, it was difficult to even twist and turn. There were also several chairs blocking the way outside, so the frail woman couldn't see what was happening outside.

"What's wrong?" she asked Ziliang, opening her mouth as if to ask him.

In the cramped space, Ziliang stretched out his somewhat stiff hand, pointed diagonally upwards, and slightly opened his mouth: "There..."

Even if Ziliang didn't continue describing it, the frail man could guess what was there from his expression.

Thinking of this, Ruoli couldn't help but shrink her head, as if she wanted to hide herself even more.

But just then, Ziliang moved again. He opened his mouth and mouthed, uttering each word clearly—"It saw me."

Ruoliu's pupils suddenly constricted.

I see!
Just then, the two suddenly heard a noise coming from the doorway.

Gu Mian and the others didn't close the door after entering the lab, so this time the sound wasn't the door being pushed open.

Instead, there was an extremely light sound of footsteps, almost imperceptible. If Ziliang hadn't seen Ruoliu's pale face opposite him, he would have almost thought he was hallucinating.

Come in...

The grinning ghost face pasted on the glass came in.

The two huddled up tightly, as if shrinking like that would prevent the ghost from noticing them.

Ziliang couldn't understand why he was the only one who had to go through something like this.

Just now, when I was with the fat guy, I almost curled myself up into a ball.

Even more so now.

Why are there so many ghosts in this laboratory building?!
Theoretically speaking, the situation is even worse now than before. When they were hiding in the toilet, at least they had a chance to avoid being discovered, and there was also the protection of the dilapidated toilet door.

The current situation is that the ghost discovered them from the beginning and came into the classroom specifically to target them! Moreover, there's only a bunch of broken chairs here, which could be easily pushed away.

The footsteps outside were faint.

The two people under the table have only heard one sound so far, followed by a long silence, as if the owner of the footsteps had long since left.

At this moment, Ziliang was covering the phone screen, peeking through a crack to look at the content on it.

The game gave a warning when the upside-down female ghost appeared last time, and this ghost with light footsteps should also appear on the screen now.

However, the content on the screen left him dumbfounded. The screen only showed the table and a few floorboards nearby, and he couldn't see the whole laboratory at all.

There are a few lines of text at the bottom of the screen—

Faint footsteps echoed from inside the classroom, as if someone was moving around outside. But this classroom had been abandoned for a long time because of past events; who would come here now?

[A frail willow cannot withstand the wind: ...]

Liang'er: ...

The character probably sensed the danger as well, so he didn't dare to make a sound.

The only thing visible on the screen was the table where they were hiding and a few floorboards nearby, which made Ziliang extremely anxious.

Just then, the frail willow across from them suddenly looked over and opened her mouth to indicate, "It seems there's no sound."

Is there no sound?

Seeing this, Ziliang listened carefully and indeed there wasn't a sound outside. But even so, they didn't dare to peek out.

Let's wait for those people in the restroom to come out... If they can come out... Why are two minutes taking so long!

Ziliang had never felt such an eternity as he did today. He gripped his phone tightly, his eyes peering through the gap between the chair and the table towards the toilet door not far away.

He was still thinking about things like "it would be warmer if we all died together."

Just as he was lost in his fantasies, he suddenly heard a soft footstep coming from the side.

Very close!

It was practically glued to the table!

Ziliang was shocked and instinctively looked up to chop at the frail willow tree opposite him.

But as soon as Ziliang raised his head, he found that the frail Liu Bufufeng opposite him was staring at him with an even more terrified expression than he was.

Ziliang felt a chill run down his spine, then followed the gaze of the frail, willow-like figure and looked behind him.

A pale face had somehow squeezed into the gap between the chairs, almost touching his own face, and was now staring at him with a gaping mouth.

"It's over..." Ziliang uttered his last words.

Just after Ziliang uttered that mournful sound, another voice suddenly rang out.

It was the sound of the long-neglected toilet door being suddenly pushed open. After the sound of the door being pushed open, the first thing you could hear was the fat man's "Pui pui" sound.

"It's getting more and more disgusting inside. I feel like there are little flying insects flying into my mouth."

As he spoke, the fat man glanced in the direction where Ziliang and the other man were hiding.

After you come out, you need to check if your teammates are still there.

Unexpectedly, when he looked over there, he saw Ziliang with his eyes closed, looking as if he were going to die. If this expression were on the battlefield, it could really portray the image of a hero.

But it would be a bit timid now.

"What are you doing?" The fat man took two big steps and pulled away the chair that was blocking the table.

Ziliang then opened his eyes, turned his neck and looked around: "I'm not dead?"

Gu Mian gave him a serious look: "It seems not yet."

Just then, the frail-looking girl suddenly popped out from under the table, panting heavily: "We just encountered a ghost!"

Did you encounter a ghost?

Gu Mian stroked her chin. This place wasn't close to the toilet entrance, so they should be able to hear what was happening outside.

“Just now,” the frail willow gestured wildly, “such a big face, it almost pressed against me… but when I closed my eyes and opened them again, it was gone, and then I saw you all come out.”

Gu Mian lowered her hand: "Is it still that female ghost from before?"

"No," Ziliang shook his head weakly, "it's not."

He was closest to that face just now, so he had the most say.

"It's not a female ghost, nor is it the male ghost I saw in the bathroom just now. It's a new ghost, one I've never seen before..."

Upon hearing this, the fat man couldn't help but shrink back. Just how many ghosts are in this laboratory building?

Chu Changge's voice suddenly came from the side: "Did it just touch your face?"
