Fear of food

Chapter 92 A Crazy Choice
The school bell rang for a long time, but Chen Qi didn't see anyone return to the classroom.

"These students skipped class?"

Chen Qi got up and went to the corridor. He looked downstairs and was immediately dumbfounded.

"Physical education class?"

A large light was on on the side of the flagpole, illuminating the entire playground and running track as if it were daytime.

He saw his three teammates running on the track with Lin Ning.

Chasing the wind, he took the lead and charged ahead, looking like he was about to win the championship.

At the finish line of the track, there stood a burly male teacher, who was writing something down in a small notebook. He was probably the physical education teacher in charge of this class.

You can see that the teachers who were gathered around the flagpole have all dispersed. The flagpole is empty, with only the shadows of the people hanging on the flagpole still occasionally twitching.

"We can't wait any longer..." Chen Qi called out the flatbread and fried skewers from the side, preparing to take the initiative.

"Let's go down and rescue that guy hanging on the flagpole first. We'll have more hands, let's go!"

Chen Qi led the two downstairs to the lobby, where they found that the bodies of Chili and Soft Candy had been cleaned up sometime earlier.

They rushed out of the teaching building and headed straight for the flagpole.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, the three of them pulled the rope and soon lowered the "ramen".

At this moment, Ramen's eyes were lifeless, as if it had lost its soul.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he scrambled to his feet and walked towards the teaching building at a moderate pace.

The fried food vendor grabbed him and demanded, "Where are you going!"

"Morgue".

Ramen mechanically answered and continued walking into the teaching building.

"The morgue?"

Chen Qi's heart skipped a beat. There was a morgue here too?
He couldn't help but recall Dr. Zhao's last words: Stay away from the morgue!

However, after experiencing so many so-called coincidences, Chen Qi began to doubt whether this statement was true or false.

"Don't waste time talking to him, just feed him!" Chen Qi instructed.

The fried skewers were also handled decisively. He pried open his comrade's mouth and blocked it directly with the barrel of a gun, although what he saw as the barrel was actually a pencil box.

Meanwhile, the flatbread on the side stuffed the wild food that had been prepared beforehand into the ramen's mouth.

The fried skewers humbly learned from Chen Qi's experience, and used a gun barrel to force food directly into the ramen's throat.

This trick worked quite well; after a short while, the ramen opened its mouth and spat out a large pool of black stuff.

Ramen's eyes gradually cleared from their daze. He stared blankly at the fried skewers in front of him, wanting to say something, but Chen Qi pulled him up directly.

"I don't have time to say more. The three of you will work with me to feed the wild food to the four people running on the track."

"The PE teacher will definitely stop you. Your senses are all distorted and you can't fight. So leave the fighting to me. You just need to feed us."

After saying that, Chen Qi took off some of the equipment from the fried skewers and ramen vendors and put it on himself, then led the way to the synthetic track.

Just then, Zhui Feng finished running a lap and passed the finish line. He heard the PE teacher shout, "Well done, student! Once you run ten laps, you can be the flag bearer!"

Chen Qi felt a slight stirring in his heart, knowing that all the courses in the school were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface, but contained some kind of deeper guidance.

After class, we had to go to the flag-raising ceremony, hang the flag on the flagpole for a while, and then go to the morgue... It felt similar to what I saw in the illusion at Jinghai Medical College.

It seems that after going through a series of procedures, once humanity is completely lost, the remaining humanity is sent directly to the morgue.

Are attending classes and raising the flag a process of stripping away humanity?

In short, for their safety, the physical education class had to be interrupted, and they couldn't continue running.

As soon as Chen Qi and his three companions entered the track, they were noticed by the physical education teacher, who frowned and shouted, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Qi smiled and asked, "I'd like to give them some extra lessons. Could I use your PE class for that?"

"What subject could be more important than PE? Chinese, math, and English can all take a backseat!" the PE teacher complained.

"I teach you how to eat."

"Oh, so you're the teacher of the Eating class, my apologies!" The PE teacher instantly became polite. "Eating is the only main subject, much more important than my PE class."

But at that moment, the PE teacher's gaze suddenly fell on the ramen, his expression changed, and he scolded, "Aren't you this year's flag bearer? You haven't even dried yet, who told you to come down? Do you want to go to the morgue?"

After saying that, he reached out to grab the ramen.

Chen Qi stepped in front of him and said to the others behind him, "You guys go quickly!"

The three of them sprinted toward the swill. Actually, the one closest to them was Zhui Feng, but he was too fast for the three of them to catch up with. They could only wait for him to run the next lap and intercept him from the front.

The PE teacher's face turned cold, his eyes sharpened, and before he could say anything, Chen Qi had already picked up his rifle and started firing.

Bang bang bang!
A series of bullets pierced the physical education teacher's body, instantly causing his intestines to burst open.

At this point, the PE teacher finally began to show abnormalities. His ruptured abdomen turned outwards, revealing his mangled large and small intestines that spread throughout his body. However, Chen Qi had no patience to watch him transform.

"Eat a thunderbolt!"

He bit off the pin of a grenade and threw it directly into the stomach of the PE teacher.

Then he turned and ran.

He sprinted at top speed, finally collapsing onto the grass on the track, followed by a loud crash behind him.

Chen Qi looked back and saw that the PE teacher's body had been blown in two. His lower body was no longer moving, but his upper body was still crawling on the ground with difficulty. Chen Qi rushed over and shot him in the head several more times, blowing his head open until he finally lost his strength.

This PE teacher must be a "family-level" parasite, which is why the firearms still have a purpose.

However, it probably won't work well when dealing with domain-level applications.

Like Dr. Zhao before, who fell from the fourteenth floor and immediately got up and ran away.

The dean of studies at Jingquan School, who had taken an entire magazine of bullets from Chen Qiyi's pistol without any reaction, was undoubtedly a domain-level parasite.

At this moment, Dabing and the other two had already subdued the swill and fed him wild food, while a group of people were rushing towards Coffee.

Chen Qi was somewhat wary of Coffee, and he tended to believe that Coffee was controlled by the Nightmare Clan and that's why it did those things.

But if coffee was contaminated or even parasitized on the same day as pancakes and wind-chasing plants, why are her symptoms much more pronounced than others?
At most, those who follow the wind will only be affected in some ways, and they may not even realize it themselves, but coffee has truly "colluded with the enemy".

Regardless, let's feed the coffee some wild food first.

By this time, Zhui Feng had run another lap and came back. Chen Qi rushed forward, grabbed him around the waist, and forced him to eat wild food.

"What are you doing!"

With a roar, teachers emerged one after another from the teaching building.

"We're killing monsters, hurry up!" Big Pancake shouted, pulling the just-woke-up Garlic Water along to help Chen Qi.

"I'll leave this to you. I'm going to catch Lin Ning."

Chen Qi looked up at the little girl who was running the slowest on the track.

He had just contacted several teammates in turn, and none of them had sensed any more high-grade wild food, which further proved that the high-grade wild food was on Lin Ning.

Chen Qi rushed towards her, and sure enough, as soon as he entered a five-meter radius around Lin Ning, that faint attraction reappeared!
He picked Lin Ning up with one hand and scanned her over, but didn't find anything that looked like food.

The weather is already hot, and Lin Ning's clothes are very simple, just a T-shirt and a pair of shorts. If you don't see her at a glance, it's basically true that she doesn't have any clothes.

Chen Qi couldn't search in detail, but fortunately, the coffee had already been successfully forced into his diet.

She knelt on the ground and vomited violently, expelling more black substance than others.

Chen Qi carried Lin Ning to Coffee's side and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Coffee shook his head, pale-faced: "I almost threw up, but my mind feels much clearer now."

"Could you search her body and see if she has any food hidden on her person?"

At this moment, the dean of students had already led his men to approach quickly. Without having time to ask too many questions, Chen Qi put Lin Ning on the ground.

Coffee carefully searched Lin Ning's body and pockets, while Da Bing, along with the now-sober Zhui Feng and the others, quickly approached Chen Qi.

Faced with a group of parasites, even though they have weapons, they are unable to use them due to cognitive distortion.

Currently, it seems that only Chen Qi can exert his fighting power.

Chen Qi glanced around and saw that a total of seven or eight teachers had come out of the teaching building.

If they are all parasites, Chen Qi alone, with his guns and a few grenades, wouldn't be of much use even if he ran out of firepower.

In addition, the same applies to the Grimace Cookies; in the current situation, they cannot exert much power.

Only by quickly consuming the high-grade wild food on Lin Ning's body can we eliminate cognitive distortion and restore our teammates' combat strength.

Of course, the most crucial thing is the qualitative change in ability after eating high-grade wild food three times!
That is the most likely hope to turn the tide!

However… after searching several times, Coffee shook his head: “There’s nothing on her.”

The thing Chen Qi least wanted to happen still happened; in fact, he had been harboring this worry for a long time.

If the high-quality wild food was simply in Lin Ning's pocket, there was no reason why he wouldn't have noticed it.

Food detection capabilities should have been able to pinpoint the location accurately long ago.

But the wild food detected this time was hazy and indistinct, as if it were blocked by something... Chen Qi looked at the little girl with a dazed and confused look in her eyes, and a guess emerged in his mind.

"Could it be some high-grade wild food inside her body?"

"Or rather, she is a high-grade wild food!"

The thought of this possibility made Chen Qi's heart pound wildly. Regardless of which possibility was the truth, both were forcing him to make a crazy choice.
