Infinite Doomsday Escape

Chapter 457 Monster in the Rain
After washing up with the girl, Lan Xiaye returned to the dormitory and changed into her military training uniform.

She didn't feel anything was wrong. In her mind, there was a terrible flu in the outside world, and human survivors gathered together to build a base for refuge.

To isolate themselves from the virus, the base is under complete closed management, training young and middle-aged people in a military academy model to keep them in peak physical condition at all times.

The sounds of training outside drifted into the dormitory. Through the window, Lan Xiaye could see the vast sandy training ground, where many teams were already training in an orderly manner.

Lan Xiaye couldn't help but speed up the process of changing her clothes.

"Rose, are you done yet?" Lan Xiaye urged her friend after changing her clothes.

Only the two of them remained in the six-person dormitory. Lan Xiaye, worried about being scolded for being late, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Coming, coming!" The girl grabbed the military training cap from the table and rushed out the door.

Lan Xiaye grabbed Qiangwei and ran back to the group. Fortunately, the weather was gloomy and overcast, so the instructors didn't pay attention to them.

"Why did it get dark so quickly?"

"Is it going to rain?"

Quiet chatter rose and fell around them.

Rose excitedly clasped her hands together and prayed fervently: "I hope it rains, I hope it rains, if it rains we won't have to do military training."

Lan Xiaye looked worriedly at the sky, where a storm was brewing. Rain was never a good thing.

Rainwater contains organic elements that can harm food. If the rain continues for a long time, food will become increasingly scarce. With so many mouths to feed at the base, she fears there will be a food crisis.

A rumble of thunder rolled in, the sound continuous, like an explosion of heaven and earth.

What followed was a light drizzle.

"Ah! It's really raining!" Screams suddenly rang out, and the huge military training field instantly descended into chaos.

It's no wonder people were panicked, because the rainwater in this world is poisonous.

Not only will it destroy the organic matter of food, making it inedible, but prolonged exposure to rain can also cause people to mutate into monsters.

"Quiet! Quiet!" Amid a series of screams, the instructor yelled at the top of his lungs, "Don't run around, stand in formation and retreat with me in an orderly manner."

The long training session quickly calmed everyone's emotions, and all the military training groups withdrew in a fast and orderly manner.

Back in the dormitory, Lan Xiaye took off her wet hat and quickly took off her soaked military training uniform, throwing them on the ground as if trying to avoid them.

The toxicity of the rainwater terrified everyone, and the women in the six-person dormitory all behaved the same way as Lan Xia Ye.

Lan Xiaye dried herself off from the rain and touched her body with lingering fear. "Is there anything that has mutated in me?"

"No." Rose shook her head vigorously. "What about me? What about me?"

Lan Xiaye carefully examined her friend, then breathed a sigh of relief, "No, not at all."

The tense and oppressive atmosphere in the six-person dormitory was only swept away after each person checked the other's body in pairs.

"The bathhouse is probably packed with people right now. Let's just use the drinking water to wipe ourselves down for now," sighed a roommate with long hair.

"Hmm, good idea."

Even on non-rainy days, the bathhouses are always packed with people, and the long queues are unbearable. Not to mention the current special circumstances, the fear of rain will only make more people crowd into the bathhouses.

It's better to use drinking water sparingly to wash away the rainwater in your hair, lest you mutate into a monster.

After all this was done, the bustling dormitory finally quieted down.

Lan Xiaye sat on the edge of the bed, watching the rain grow heavier and heavier, listening to the pattering sound of the rain, and surprisingly felt a sense of peace. Although it was daytime, the rain made the sky as dark as night.

Rose gently touched her and sat down next to Lan Xia Ye, nestling against her shoulder.

"It's so nice to have a rainy day, at least we don't have to do military training," she whispered, expressing her joy.

Lan Xiaye covered Qiangwei's mouth and whispered, "Don't let anyone else hear you saying that!"

Rose pouted in dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with that? I don't believe everyone wants military training."

Lan Xiaye sighed, "Do you see any signs that the rain is going to stop?"

The rain outside the window continued incessantly, the silvery raindrops intertwined like needles and thread, fine and dense, blurring the boundaries of the world.

There was no one outside, only the pouring rain.

Rose didn't understand what Lan Xiaye was trying to say, so she could only shake her head.

Lan Xiaye sighed, "After such a long rain, I wonder how much food is left to eat."

Rose then realized what was happening, her face turning pale. "No way, the base should have plenty of food reserves. They should all be properly stored in the warehouse and won't get wet."

"That may be true, but have you ever actually seen a grain warehouse?"

Rose shook her head. Ninety percent of the people in the base didn't know where the food warehouse was. All the food was distributed to everyone by the instructors.

Lan Xiaye: "Let's prepare for the worst."

The joy on Rose's face vanished instantly. Looking at the rain outside the window, her initial happiness was gone, replaced by a bitter and resentful glare at the rain.

Lan Xiaye found her ever-changing expressions somewhat amusing.

The next moment, their expressions changed drastically.

"Look! What's that!" Lan Xiaye pointed in horror at a huge, dark shadow rampaging through the rain.

Their commotion attracted the attention of the other four people, who all looked out the window.

"Ah!" A sharp explosion echoed through the dormitory. "It's a monster! Someone has mutated!"

In the rain, a black monster, its body distorted into a hideous roar, appeared. Its body was more than twice its original size, making it impossible to discern its original gender. Its arms were terrifyingly thick, and with a single reach, it easily tore apart the dormitory door on the first floor.

The screams echoed through the sky, and Lan Xiaye's face turned ugly.

Chaos has broken out; the base is in complete chaos.

Rose trembled and tugged at Blue Summer Leaf, "Let's run to the tall building quickly, it will be here soon."

The monster's power was beyond what ordinary people could withstand. It easily grabbed the person who was trying to run away, stuffed him into its huge, dark mouth, and chewed him up.

The crimson blood mingled with the rain, shocking everyone's eyes.

"Run! We have to run!" The dormitory was in chaos. Their dormitory was just across from the attacked dormitory. Once the monsters finished off that side, they would quickly follow the trail to this side.

The other four had already fled to higher floors in a panic, only Lan Xia Ye and Qiang Wei were still there.

Lan Xiaye's teeth chattered as she suppressed her fear, continuing to observe the monster's movements while searching the dormitory for weapons that could cause harm.

Although their dormitory was not high, only on the second floor, there was still some time before the monster came looking for them.

Instead of running upstairs and blocking anyone's hope of letting them in for refuge, they should find weapons, hide inside, and try to survive.
