Chapter 2: Let's escape from Jiangcheng together!

"Why are there so few people here today?"

Zhang Zheng, a professor of civil law at Jiangcheng University, glanced at the students sitting in the classroom and shook his head.

Normally, he probably understood that not all students in the class would be present during class, so if one or two were absent, he would just turn a blind eye. But today it was really too much.

When he entered the classroom, he felt that there were not many people. When the bell rang, the number of students did not increase. After counting carefully, he found that - wow! There were a total of 30 students in the class, but only 20 were sitting in their seats!

Suddenly, one third of the students were missing. Did everyone skip class so blatantly today? !

So he thought about it, put on a sneer, and took out the roster that had not been opened for a long time.

"Classmates, today's roll call..."

After hearing these words, Zhu Shijiu and Li Hua who were sitting in the last row were stunned.

"I'm right, right?" Zhu Shijiu's heart skipped a beat and he nudged Li Hua beside him with his elbow.

Li Hua had a strange look on his face but also some excitement. He lowered his voice and said to Zhu Shijiu beside him: "Oh my god, this is amazing, Brother Zhu, you really guessed it right!"

Zhu Shijiu said dissatisfiedly: "What are you guessing! This is all what I have experienced! Believe it or not!"

"If the number of students absent from class later is really nine, then I will really believe it."

According to Zhu Shijiu's dream, Li Hua did not come to class, and Lao Zhang suddenly called the roll. Later, he found that a total of ten students, including Li Hua, were absent. Now Li Hua was pulled to the classroom by him. If there were no unexpected butterfly effect, after the roll call, there should be only nine students who missed the class.

Li Hua and Zhu Shijiu both became nervous. As Lao Zhang called out their names one by one, their mood gradually became nervous.

"Wish Shijiu long!"

"arrive!"

"Li Hua!"

"arrive!"

Zhu Shijiu and Li Hua's student numbers were consecutive. After calling out these two people, Lao Zhang called out a number of other people in succession.

When the roll call was over, Lao Zhang snorted coldly, "Nine students didn't come to class! I don't know what important things these nine students have, but I think they should at least ask for leave for me? If you don't take your grades seriously during the normal time, and then regret it after failing the final exam, what's the use..."

Old Zhang on the stage was talking incessantly, and at this time Zhu Shijiu got goose bumps all over his body, and his tone was desperate and fearful.

"Look what I said."

Turning around to look at Li Hua, this kid actually looked excited!

"Oh my god... Brother Zhu, if it weren't for you, I would have failed this course miserably!"

Zhu Shijiu gritted his teeth and said, "Do you believe what I said now? It's the end of the semester! The whole Jiangcheng will be ruined tomorrow!"

Li Hua's excited expression froze, and at this time he gradually came back to his senses.

It turns out that Zhu Shijiu was not joking, and the situation was really as he said - when Mr. Zhang took the roll in class, there were nine other students who were absent. It was still very scary when you think about it carefully.

At this time, Li Hua's face also changed: "The end of the world will come at ten o'clock tomorrow morning?"

Zhu Shijiu answered hesitantly: "I'm not sure if it's the end of the world, but in my dream I saw an abnormal explosion in the sky at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and the power of the shock wave destroyed everything I could see."

Li Hua thought for a moment and said, "In short, Jiangcheng University is finished."

"That's right." Zhu Shijiu finally had someone to talk to, and he described all the details of his dream to Li Hua again.

"You're not sure about the scope of the impact. Blue light? Hey, it feels a bit like science fiction."

Li Hua touched his chin and then looked at Zhu Shijiu.

"Brother Zhu, have you bought the ticket?"

"I bought it. I bought a ticket for the high-speed train at 5 pm today, which goes directly to my home. I can leave Jiangcheng at 7 pm. I will be home at 8 or 9 pm."

Li Hua immediately nodded and said, "Then I'll go with you."

Zhu Shijiu was stunned for a moment. First, he didn't expect Li Hua to be so decisive. Second, he didn't expect Li Hua to choose to go home with him: "Come with me? You're not going home?"

"If the affected area is only Jiangcheng, then it won't matter if I go with you. My home is in the north, far away. But if the affected area is the whole world, then there's no point in me going home. Not to mention buying a plane ticket, it's expensive!"

Zhu Shijiu was speechless for a moment: "You... are really generous."

Having said that, Zhu Shijiu was actually somewhat touched because Li Hua believed what he said. Zhu Shijiu also understood how outrageous his words were.

Li Hua is a casual person to begin with, and he actually got a little excited when talking about this: "It's rare to encounter something so surreal."

“… It’s up to you.” Zhu Shijiu sighed.

The two of them were small-timers, and they didn't think that since everyone knew that Jiangcheng would be destroyed by a high-altitude explosion at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, they must inform everyone. They both knew that this was not realistic because no one would believe it.

Li Hua actually didn't believe it 100%, but he could skip classes at any time, so it didn't make much difference whether he was in school or not.

Li Hua and Zhu Shijiu were both invisible figures in the class and had average relationships with other classmates, so in the end they didn't tell anyone anything to avoid being treated as crazy.

After the first class in the afternoon, Li Hua and Zhu Shijiu left the classroom. As for whether they would be discovered to be absent from the second class by Lao Zhang, that was not something they cared about.

After returning to the dormitory, the two packed up simply, took their laptops and some clothes, and left the school dragging their suitcases.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the two boarded the high-speed train.

Smooth journey.

Nothing surreal happened, everything was just like any other ordinary day.

Honestly speaking, if Zhu Shijiu had not successfully predicted Lao Zhang's roll call and accurately predicted the number of absentees, Li Hua probably would not have believed that the entire Jiangcheng would become a ruin in a dozen hours.

"Is it really okay for us to just walk away like this?"

Riding on the speeding high-speed train, Li Hua looked at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window and couldn't help but say something.

Zhu Shijiu curled his lips: "What else can we do? To be honest, if you still don't believe me during class, I will even throw you away in Jiangcheng!"

"Fuck, I didn't expect you to be this kind of brother Zhu!"

Zhu Shijiu didn't feel any burden in his heart. Compared to Li Hua who still felt a little guilty, he had truly "dreamed" of death. He knew how small personal power was, so he would not make any meaningless attempts.

Try to persuade others to leave Jiangcheng

Haha, what a joke, even if I can convince some people, what's the point? Millions of people in Jiangcheng will still die in that surreal explosion.

Li Hua was not as excited as he was at the beginning. After several hours, the high-speed train arrived at the destination. He gradually calmed down when he was blown by the cold wind of the November night.

The two of them dragged their suitcases, hailed a taxi, and headed to Zhu Shijiu's home.

Another half an hour later, Zhu Shijiu took Li Hua into his own community. After passing through many buildings, he entered his own residential building and took the elevator to the tenth floor. This was his home.

Standing at the door of his house, Zhu Shijiu took a deep breath, reached out and rang the doorbell.

"Here... who is it?"

Zhu's mother opened the door and looked in surprise at the two people outside who were carrying large and small bags and pulling a suitcase.

"Ajiu? Why are you back? Who is this?"

Zhu's mother looked surprised. It was obviously not what she expected to see when she opened the door and saw her child, who should still be at school.

"Hello, Auntie." Li Hua smiled and nodded to Zhu's mother, "I am Brother Zhu's classmate."

"Uh... hello, hello, please come in..."

Although his mother was confused, Zhu Shijiu had not yet figured out how to explain it to her, and he walked into the house with an awkward smile on his face.

Li Hua naturally followed in, and Zhu Shijiu led Li Hua to the door of a room.

"You can stay in this room tonight." Zhu Shijiu said as he helped Li Hua put away everything. "This is my sister's room. She usually lives in school and only comes back to stay on weekends."

After they put their things away, they turned around and saw Zhu's father and mother standing at the door of the room.

It was obvious that both my parents were extremely confused and didn't know what was going on.

"Ajiu, what happened?" Zhu's father asked with a frown.

Zhu Shijiu replied naturally: "The school is on holiday these two days, so I brought my classmates home to stay for a few days."

The parents looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking, "You come back if you want to, but what's the point of bringing your classmate back with you? And you let this classmate live in your sister's room..."

What’s more important is that he came back so suddenly, without even calling them to tell them - everything about this was strange.

Zhu's mother instinctively thought that her child had gotten into trouble at school, and wanted to ask but didn't know where to start.

Zhu Shijiu was not in a hurry to explain to his parents. He was thinking that if Jiangcheng was really destroyed by an explosion tomorrow, then his explanation would definitely be more convincing than just empty talk now.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's getting late now and I'm going to bed."

Zhu Shijiu interrupted his parents with one sentence.

Helplessly, the two of them didn't dare to ask questions in front of Li Hua, an outsider, but there was a look of worry in their eyes.

Li Hua was very embarrassed. He had nothing to say to Zhu Shijiu's parents. He could only smile apologetically and watched Zhu Shijiu drive his parents back to their room.

When Zhu Shijiu was about to go back to his room to sleep, Li Hua said quietly, "Brother Zhu, I trusted you even at the risk of failing the exam."

Zhu Shijiu rolled his eyes and said, "I actually hope that my dreams are all fake! Anyway, let's go to sleep tonight and we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

"Brother Zhu..."

Ignoring Li Hua who still wanted to ask something, Zhu Shijiu helped Li Hua close the door and then returned to his room.

There is nothing much to say. Whether Li Hua believes it or not, the answer will be clear at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
