789: Hard-won stability

The change happened extremely quickly and extremely violently.

Except for Kong Fei, who had anticipated it early, everyone else was so shocked their mouths were wide open and their eyes were wide.

And in the next moment.

The desk, which had borne the brunt of the withered branches blown in from outside the window, began to directly tip over under that powerful force!

The wind pouring in from outside the window became increasingly violent.

And this tilting desk also became more obvious.

"Crackle, rattle, crash~"

Some things placed on it began to fall onto the ground.

Bread, candles, fruit, like an overturned piggy bank, a large area of things quickly covered the ground!

Subsequently, some glass items made sounds like setting off firecrackers, rattling and clattering.

Many nearby rats were so scared by these sounds that they scurried away with their heads in their paws.

Everything happened in an instant.

And after the incident ended, everyone looked at Kong Fei in shock: "Amazing! Kong Fei, how did you predict that?"

"The wind outside is actually this terrifying, it directly blew in a tree branch, and even knocked over the desk!"

"But seriously, Kong Fei, how did you know this would happen? Did you awaken a superpower of prophecy?!"

Among the crowd, questions came one after another.

Everyone was shocked by the sudden change involving the desk, and even more shocked by Kong Fei's terrifying method of divine prophecy!

Listening to everyone's eager words, Kong Fei slightly exhaled a breath of stale air.

This scene, he had already witnessed it in his previous life.

Of course, it wasn't witnessed firsthand in his previous life.

When they arrived at the Teaching and Research Office at that time, the heavy rain had already started.

And this desk had already fallen to the ground.

Seeing that tree branch, it was not difficult at all to guess that the desk was knocked down by the tree branch blown in from outside the window.

As for why Kong Fei could guess the time so accurately.

It was also because on this night in his previous life, he clearly heard the huge commotion from the Teaching and Research Office side while in Class (2)!

From this, he knew about the events that were about to happen.

"Okay, after the wind dies down a bit, let's go move those supplies to a non-window position in the back here."

Kong Fei didn't open his mouth to explain.

Seeing this, the surrounding people didn't ask any more questions, but they were all secretly excited in their hearts.

Kong Fei has clearly activated a superpower!

A precognitive type of superpower!

You're still hiding it, but this move of yours has revealed everything!

Everyone, carrying their firm thoughts in their hearts, walked towards the overturned desk in front, secretly excited.

They were excited about the resources on these desks, excited that people could really activate superpowers!

They figured it wouldn't be long before they could also possess such incredible superpowers, just like Gao Zhengyang and Kong Fei!

A few minutes later, the strong wind outside had a moment of lull.

And the crowd who had been waiting in the corner for a long time immediately stepped forward to pick up the things on the ground.

There were more than twenty candles from the Instructor's desk scattered on the ground.

Each one was over one centimeter in height and about four centimeters in width.

The outside was wrapped in a layer of aluminum foil, ensuring the candle wax burned completely.

This kind of candle, theoretically, one can burn for three hours, but the actual burning time can reach four or five hours.

"Come on, lend a hand!" someone shouted, calling out to the classmates around them.

For the people before them, the small candle that could previously be picked up with two fingers was now a giant.

Standing in front of the candle, only a person's head and shoulders were visible.

It was completely unrealistic for one or two people to try and drag it.

A full eight or nine people joined hands and exerted effort together.

Only then was one candle that had fallen on the ground strenuously lifted up by everyone!

They stopped and started along the way, taking quite some effort to reach the windless area in the corner of the office.

Next was the item for lighting a fire.

It wasn't a lighter, but a box of matches.

It seemed the Instructor was also someone who pursued a sense of ritual.

This also provided everyone with convenience; relatively speaking, matches were easier for them to use.

After everyone continued to collect some bread and paper towels scattered on the ground, the wind blowing into the office from outside the window grew strong again.

Because the tree branch had broken the glass, the Teaching and Research Office was now constantly filled with cold wind!

Kong Fei looked at this situation and understood that this place couldn't be stayed in for long.

This was a good place to collect resources, but not a good place for stable shelter.

When the heavy rain arrived, the open windows and doors, these problems would suddenly be amplified!

"Whoosh~"

A scarlet flame suddenly lit up amidst a rustling sound, illuminating the shadowed area in a corner of the office!

Two classmates held the matches, and with a full swing, lit a match in one go!

After seeing the flame light up, the two quickly, under the nervous gaze of everyone around, brought the match to the candle wick.

Without accident, a faint flame flower began to slowly flicker on the candle.

After the about to extinguish blue flame, a clearly intense orange burst forth!

In an instant, the deep Darkness around seemed to have met its nemesis, retreating rapidly, leaving behind a warm and bright area!

And everyone around felt at this moment that all their unease finally began to slowly subside.

"Come, this bread is very tasty." In the two classes, the class cadres, organized by the Teacher, used broken glass from the ground to cut open the packaging of a small bag of bread.

Subsequently, they distributed the large pieces of bread.

"There's water here too!" someone nearby said excitedly.

That was a box of bottled water that had fallen onto the ground.

At this moment, in everyone's eyes, it was like a gigantic water tank.

However, how to open it and drink the water inside was a problem that couldn't be avoided.

Kong Fei was currently fiddling with the cigarettes in a cigarette box, turned his head, noticed the people worrying about the water, and couldn't help but remind them: "There are needles on the ground."

"Use the candle to heat the needle until it's red, then poke through the mineral water bottle."

Kong Fei's voice was very recognizable, and similarly, very convincing.

With his reminder, those people indeed noticed that there were still a few sewing needles scattered on the ground.

They also didn't know how the Teaching and Research Office would have such things.

However, after all, it was an office that had been around for so many years, with different people coming every day, so it wasn't too surprising for some inconspicuous small items to appear.

Following the method Kong Fei mentioned, a few people wrapped the back part of the needle with torn strips of paper towel, then collectively held the red-hot needle and stabbed towards the water bottle!

The bottle was broken, but no water came out.

"Make the opening a bit bigger, because of atmospheric pressure, water won't flow out if the hole poked in a sealed bottle is too small."

Kong Fei reminded them.

Everyone realized this common sense.

More than an hour later.

The water in the bottle finally began to flow down with a gurgling sound!

Warming by the fire, drinking water, eating bread, and having fruit as dessert after the meal.

Looking at the flame that was even bigger than themselves.

In a trance, everyone recalled those peaceful days from before, and at this moment, many people were so moved that they cried.
