"Don't just stand there, hurry up and see what happened!" Gao Zhengyang, who was on the back of the Lizard, urged when he saw Kong Fei still in a daze.
His words also startled the other party awake.
That's right.
The appearance of such a large Centipede here, along with four bodies, was enough to indicate that those who went from the first floor to the second floor must have encountered danger!
Looking at the Centipede's corpse on the ground, Kong Fei didn't waste time refining it into a Puppet, thinking that for every minute they wasted here, the people above would be in more danger!
Straddling the back of the Lizard, the three of them ran towards the stairs above!
The fifth step, there were some people's shoes and clothes left on the ground here, suggesting a moment of panic had occurred earlier.
And the ladder that should have been placed here was also gone.
After the Lizard carried them up a few more steps, the three of them realized that the ladder had been dragged to the middle of a floor, at the height of this small platform.
They probably were worried that the Centipede would continue climbing up the ladder, so they directly took the ladder to the floor above.
Currently, it seems only those four people died.
Perhaps it was just bad Luck for the last four Students who went up, encountering the Centipede that followed them up, which led to that disaster!
The Lizard continued to carry the three of them upwards.
The closer they got to the second floor, the more obvious the traces of people on the steps became.
And when Kong Fei and the others reached the last step leading to the second floor, they could even hear a faint, dense, and chaotic babble of voices!
It was like many people were discussing something from a long distance away.
"Lizard! Lizard, a Lizard is coming up!"
Suddenly, on the steps above, several Students who seemed to be assigned to patrol suddenly saw the three of them about to go upstairs below the steps.
More accurately, they saw the terrifying and massive Four-legged snake beneath the three of them!
Immediately, startled cries and panicked shouts were incessant.
In less than half a minute.
Many people gathered at the edge of the steps above!
These people held thumbtacks from staplers, or half a toothpick, or some small stones in their hands.
The things that could be picked up on the ground were the only weapons Humans could currently equip.
These items couldn't even be called weapons, but such were the circumstances.
"Are there no people from Second Class or Class Three? It's us! We're back!"
Gao Zhengyang shouted upwards.
After his voice spread, it also drew everyone's attention to the three people below.
Earlier, they had also seen what looked like three people on the back of the Lizard.
However, because of the dim light and the impossibility of a Lizard and Humans coexisting peacefully, in everyone's eyes, the three people on the Lizard's back were nothing more than three corpses.
Suddenly hearing a voice from the people on the Lizard's back below, it instantly sent a shock through the rows of people standing at the edge of the stairs.
"It's the Class Monitor! And Kong Fei! The Class Monitor and Kong Fei are back!"
There were indeed classmates from Second Class and Class Three among the crowd.
After the Students on the first floor all gathered on the second floor, everyone naturally converged.
"Kong Fei? And Gao Zhengyang, who conveyed the important information to everyone through the broadcast?"
Among the Students, there were also School Teachers.
After coming up, they met the English Teacher who led Class Three and Second Class, and learned from her that the previous broadcast was spread by two Students who risked going to the broadcast room!
And those two people were the two in front of them!
"Riding a Lizard, this is actually true!"
Many people also learned about these two from the Students of Second Class and Class Three, and the most noteworthy thing was Gao Zhengyang's Awakening of his superpower.
Originally, everyone was skeptical, but now it seems...
Seeing that everyone on the steps had put down the weapons in their hands, Kong Fei controlled the Lizard and leaped to the second-floor corridor!
After arriving on the second floor, looking around, Kong Fei and the other two realized there were at least over two hundred people here!
Each floor had four classes, with an average of about forty-plus people per class.
Comparing the numbers, this gathered 80% of the people.
Counting them individually, there were indeed dozens fewer people, but compared to the situation where almost everyone was wiped out in the previous life, this loss was completely insignificant!
"Two Students, we already know about you relaying that important message to all the Teachers and Students in our School." In the crowd, a bald Middle-aged man stepped forward, his face full of sincerity: "On behalf of all the Teachers and Students in the School, I thank you!"
This person was the Instructor Director, known as 'Baldy' among the Student body.
Before the drastic change occurred, he was inspecting the Students' lunch break on the first floor.
After Humans shrank a hundredfold, he fought against the danger on the first floor with those Students.
If it weren't for Gao Zhengyang's broadcast, he and those Students would probably still be on the first floor contemplating the next food and heating issues, ultimately ending up being submerged by the Big Water!
"There are four bodies and a Centipede below, what happened?" Kong Fei wasn't particularly moved by the Instructor's verbal thanks and turned to inquire about the situation below.
When his question was asked, everyone around showed a hint of lingering fear and hidden terror.
The Instructor also clenched his fist and lowered his hand, sighing heavily and shaking his head: "Alas, this is all due to my improper handling!"
"At that time, I was thinking of getting everyone upstairs as quickly as possible, so I had everyone place ladders at the bottom of each step..."
In less than a minute of description, Kong Fei and the other two also understood the specific reason.
It was not much different from what they had imagined.
Originally, everyone was climbing the steps in an orderly manner along those ladders.
When the last few people climbed up, they forgot to put away the ladder, causing a Centipede to accidentally follow the ladders and catch up to the last four people.
The final outcome goes without saying, those four bodies were the answer.
Fortunately, the Centipede's climbing ability on this stone wall was limited; after they pushed down the ladder on the fourth layer, the Centipede could only stop at the fourth step.
"Abandoning those four classmates, this was unavoidable, after all, we have no weapons, no strength, rushing up rashly wouldn't change anything."
The Instructor's voice was low.
These were dead people! And there were four of them!
If this happened in the previous Human society, it would definitely be front-page news, and the entire School would not be able to continue classes!
Even now, it was still something that everyone couldn't accept in a short time.
Clearly seeing those four people die under the Centipede's mouthparts, dying before their eyes, the impact was truly terrifying!
Kong Fei was silent for a moment upon hearing this.
Yes, without weapons, without strength, all they could do was run.
He had done too much running in his previous life!
It was just that with each escape, the maddening pressure on his shoulders increased by another layer!
Humans really need strength, they need weapons, at least...
Looking at the stones and toothpicks in the hands of these classmates being used as weapons, Kong Fei thought to himself: "At least, Human weapons shouldn't be of this level!"
As the Era of Destiny advances, if Humans continue to rely on their own exploration, life will only become more and more difficult!
It might even completely replicate the tragic ending of the previous life.
Now that he has been reborn, and with the help of the System, it stands to reason that the System also does not want the situation of Humans in the previous life to happen again.
The things sold in the System Mall are the best proof for Kong Fei!
And he is the key to leading Humanity to a different ending!
This is not narcissism.
He carries the beliefs of countless people who sacrificed for the Human Faction in the previous life, and with that heavy pressure, he has come to complete this era's transition.
Of course, the most crucial thing is the System; relying on the System, he has that kind of confidence!
"System, exchange for a rifle production line and a rifle bullet production line!" Kong Fei said firmly in his heart.
If it were before, he would still hesitate because of that inexplicable feeling in his heart.
But now, seeing the crude 'weapons' and equipment in the hands of these classmates, Kong Fei instantly thought of the suffering of the Human Faction in the previous life and the most insufficient weapon weakness.
The impact from deep within his memory made him unable to look at it calmly.
Human firearms, Human thermal weapons, these things belonging to Humans, should be restored to their rightful place!
