READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 35 - Let the Bullet Fly
【The truck coming to pick up people tonight is a fake. After Xiao Ying finishes her makeup, she will request to share a room. Quickly find a solution! Additionally, you are the only one left alive in this Instance. Please be cautious…】
…
Upon seeing this sudden notification, He Gu was stunned for a moment, immediately turning around with a wary look at Xiao Ying.
At this moment, Xiao Ying was carefully applying her makeup in front of the mirror, the corner of her mouth holding a hint of a bizarre smile.
A sinking feeling welled up in He Gu’s heart, followed by a sense of urgency.
As a pure young man who had been single for twenty years, He Gu didn’t know how long it took for a girl to apply makeup, and naturally, he couldn’t tell how much longer Xiao Ying would need to finish.
This only intensified He Gu’s sense of urgency.
She would request to share a room after she finished her makeup!
He Gu naturally knew that this meant a situation of certain death!
What was the solution?
He Gu quickly wracked his brain, but he couldn’t come up with any ideas.
He couldn’t agree, he couldn’t refuse, and he couldn’t even find a plausible excuse to evade.
It seemed that the only way out was to flee!
But it was already past nine o’clock, and according to the rules, He Gu couldn’t leave the dormitory building!
Watching as Xiao Ying gradually applied her makeup, He Gu felt increasingly anxious.
Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed from the hallway.
He Gu, who was already sitting near the door, peeked his head out and was immediately overjoyed.
He saw Wang Tao walking toward him from the other end of the hallway.
After a careful look, He Gu noticed that Wang Tao was wide awake, not sleepwalking!
Indeed, every cloud has a silver lining!
Overjoyed, He Gu immediately got up and went to meet Wang Tao.
Upon seeing He Gu, Wang Tao was startled: “Damn! Brother Gu?”
“What happened to your face, why do you look like this?”
He Gu knew that his face was indeed a bit frightening at the moment, so he laughed bitterly: “Don’t mention it, I got scratched by a cat during the day.”
After saying that, He Gu immediately took out the “Delicious Dried Meat” he had just bought from the Store and handed it to Wang Tao: “Here, have something to eat.”
Seeing this, Wang Tao’s eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he accepted the dried meat and began eating.
While eating, he said: “Mm! The taste is pretty good!”
After saying that, Wang Tao gave He Gu a wary look: “You are unusually kind. Brother Gu, do you need something from me?”
He Gu laughed, seeing that Wang Tao hadn’t finished his meat, he changed the topic: “By the way, it’s almost half past nine, why are you just getting back?”
Wang Tao waved his hand: “Two friends from Dormitory 404 upstairs asked me to play cards. Speaking of which, it seems like we are the only four people left in the entire male dormitory building.”
While talking, Wang Tao finally finished the meat in his hand.
He Gu let out a sigh of relief, then proposed: “Your dormitory is only left with you too. How about I come over and keep you company tonight?”
Wang Tao was taken aback: “Oh? Are you willing to leave your beautiful and fair-skinned…”
As he said this, Wang Tao paused, then a look of sudden realization crossed his face, and he laughed with a suggestive wink: “What’s the matter? Brother Gu, can’t handle the heat and want to take refuge?”
He Gu didn’t have the mood to explain, he could only say helplessly: “Something like that.”
Hearing this, Wang Tao continued to tease: “I told you to take it easy, look at you now… you’ve become so depleted!”
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the door of Dormitory 303.
Wang Tao waved his hand: “Alright, then you can stay in our dorm tonight, it just so happens that I don’t have a roommate.”
Hearing Wang Tao’s words, He Gu let out a long sigh of relief.
Luckily, this way he could avoid Xiao Ying.
At the same time, Wang Tao had already taken out his keys to open the door, and He Gu immediately followed him into Dormitory 303.
Wang Tao looked at him curiously: “You’re coming over now? The lights haven’t even been turned off yet, aren’t you going to go back and accompany your ‘sister-in-law’?”
He Gu waved his hands repeatedly: “No, no, I can’t stand it.”
If he stayed there a little longer, he wouldn’t be able to get back!
Seeing this, Wang Tao shook his head and chuckled, “Ah, it seems you have been exhausted these past few days, haven’t you?”
He Gu sighed, “Enough, let’s stop talking about these irrelevant things. I sneaked here for refuge. Don’t you dare sell me out!”
Wang Tao nodded, “Understood.”
“Besides, I’m not going out anyway, where would I sell you?”
Hearing this, He Gu finally felt relieved.
For safety’s sake, He Gu deliberately locked the door of the dormitory for Wang Tao.
After locking the door, only then did He Gu notice that there was a piece of A4 paper pasted on the back of the door of Dormitory 303.
…
**Rule Six**
1. No loud noises after lights out;
2. Do not use others’ belongings without permission;
…
Hidden Message: Stay calm, let the bullets fly for a while, the dawn of victory will eventually arrive!
…
Seeing these rules, He Gu fell silent for a moment.
He hadn’t expected that behind the wall he shared with Dormitory 303, there would be a set of rules!
For He Gu, every rule discovered was equivalent to seeing one more Hidden Message!
After reading this rule and the Hidden Message, He Gu thought for a moment, then immediately turned to Wang Tao and shouted, “Tao, can I use the stuff in your dorm?”
Wang Tao, who was making a bed for He Gu, replied without looking back, “Of course, you can use anything you want, except for my chrysanthemum.”
He Gu nodded slightly, with Wang Tao’s words, he probably wouldn’t violate the second rule.
As for the first, He Gu was even less likely to violate it.
Soon, Wang Tao had made a bed for He Gu, who thanked him and lay down straight away.
Seeing this, Wang Tao rolled his eyes and made faces, “Ah, going to bed before ten o’clock? Brother Gu, you must be really tired these days, aren’t you?”
He Gu remained silent, lying on the bed, resting his eyes.
Although things weren’t as Wang Tao thought, He Gu was indeed exhausted.
Soon, He Gu fell asleep.
In his drowsy state, He Gu had no idea how long he had slept when he was suddenly awakened by a frantic knocking.
He Gu was startled by the noise and sat up on his bed.
At this time, the dormitory was pitch black, the power must have been cut off and the lights were out.
He Gu glanced at Wang Tao’s bed in the faint moonlight and found that Wang Tao was not there.
This made He Gu a bit puzzled, where had Wang Tao gone in the middle of the night?
Wasn’t it said that if he ate Delicious Dried Meat, he wouldn’t sleepwalk anymore?
Bang, bang, bang!
Before He Gu could think any further, the knocking on the door became more and more frantic, almost turning into pounding.
He Gu frowned slightly, but had no intention of opening the door.
No matter who was outside, they could knock all they wanted, He Gu was determined not to be moved.
A few minutes later, the noisy pounding finally stopped.
Then, He Gu heard the Parrot’s distinctive drake-like voice in the corridor outside, “Wa—Help! Help!”
“Hehe…hehe…dead! Dead!”
…
The Parrot’s voice was very hoarse, as if something was stuck in its throat, or as if someone was strangling its neck.
He Gu frowned slightly, still unmoved.
Having experienced a similar situation the night before, he certainly wasn’t going to risk his life this time.
When he saw the Hidden Message on the rules of Dormitory 303, He Gu had already decided that no matter what happened outside, he definitely wouldn’t take a peek!
Stay calm, let the bullets fly!
However, just as He Gu was thinking this, the sound of a key being inserted into the lock came from the door.
Then, the sound of the lock turning.
The next moment, the door opened.
Using the dim light from the hallway, He Gu saw a shadow walking in, heading straight for the side of his bed.
Could it be that Wang Tao was sleepwalking again?
A tightness gripped He Gu’s heart, and he quickly closed his eyes, pretending to sleep.
The next moment, a voice rang out in the darkness: “Brother Gu, I’m back.”
Hearing this voice, He Gu’s heart skipped a beat.
It was Zhang Chao’s voice!
