"I... I didn't think that far ahead." Li Yifei sighed.
"We're very grateful that you came down to save us." The boy gave a slight bow. "But unfortunately, your evacuation plan won't work."
"Then do you have a better idea?"
"Hold our ground." His voice was remarkably calm. "These monsters may look terrifying, but they're not so strong that we're completely incapable of resisting them. As long as we keep reinforcing the doors and windows, holding them off won't be a problem. I believe people specifically trained for this will come rescue us soon."
Li Yifei fell silent for a moment, then studied the bespectacled, refined-looking boy before him again.
"I still don't know your name."
"An Qingyu."
"An Qingyu? You're An Qingyu, the one who ranked first in the entire city?" Li Yifei's eyes widened.
"I don't care about grades." An Qingyu's gaze fell on the nauseating chunks of flesh and blood in the corridor outside, an unusual gleam flickering in his eyes. "It seems this world... is far more interesting than I imagined."
For some reason, seeing that look in his eyes made Li Yifei's skin crawl.
"Since you don't want to come with me, I'll head back to the fifth floor." Li Yifei turned to leave. After all, he was no longer needed here, while there were still many students on the fifth floor.
"I don't think you'll be able to leave now."
An Qingyu walked to the window and pointed at the three monsters sprinting over from the stairwell on the right. At the stairwell entrance on the left, another three monsters had crawled up.
They... were surrounded.
Most importantly, as one of the monsters passed through the corridor, it casually shredded the thick rope dangling outside, completely cutting off Li Yifei and the others' escape
