Sudden Incident

"Comrade Guo Xiaoyun! If you don't honestly confess, I'll report you to your family for skipping classes and going for a drive with wild boys!!" Several people surrounded her roommate at dinner, a mischievous look on their faces.

The girl being teased was none other than Yu Nv Wu Gua, the top player in the game who had been consistently outperforming the Liver Emperor in points.

At this moment, she was being besieged by her unscrupulous roommates, appearing extremely embarrassed.

"You... what nonsense are you talking about..." Guo Xiaoyun blushed and explained, "I really was playing the game, maybe... maybe the spare battery had enough power, after all, I bought the one from South Lake."

"Just keep making up stories..." The roommates rolled their eyes, thinking to themselves: Do you really think one section is better than six?

Besides, they had seen the inside of the game pod before, and there was no one inside at all!

One of the girls with wine-red hair smiled mischievously, "Don't force her, it's the little girl's first time going for a drive in her three years of college, she's definitely shy, unlike you old pros who can casually discuss men's sensitive things after the fact."

"Men's sensitive things?" Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked the experienced drivers for advice, "What are they?"

A group of single dogs around the cafeteria also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the insights of these female drivers!

"Of course, it's the minion wave, what else could it be?" Wen Shanshan curled her lips.

"And the plating..." Another girl next to her chimed in.

Nani or more! The crowd of losers nodded repeatedly, as expected of experienced senior sisters, they understood them so thoroughly!

Seeing the topic finally shift away from herself, Xiaoyun breathed a slight sigh of relief, then looked at the food in her bowl but had no appetite at all.

What's going on? She had been lying in the game pod for almost three days, without a drop of water, why didn't she feel any hunger?

"Hey, have you guys heard? Yesterday, a monkey escaped from Dream Island, and the whole city is looking for it," Wen Shanshan suddenly started a new topic.

"A monkey escaped?" The surrounding people's expressions changed upon hearing this.

Recently, a new type of virus broke out in the Federation's South Africa Region, rapidly infecting large areas of South Africa through monkeys, spreading extremely quickly and with an almost 100% mortality rate!

This has already caused great panic. The Federation's Eastern and Western Alliances have respectively sealed off all channels there and are conducting comprehensive quarantine of monkeys imported from South Africa.

This large-scale quarantine has led many zoos to protest, believing that this is creating unnecessary panic and greatly affecting the profitability of those large animal ecological parks.

Involving the interests of major capitalists, the quarantine work has been hindered in many places, but the quarantine work in the Central China Region has been proceeding extremely smoothly!

The reason is simple, in this land of Central China, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a large capital that can challenge the government. Even after the establishment of the Federation, the government's strong attitude here remains the same.

After the quarantine was announced, 80% of the zoos cooperated honestly. Those who jumped around a bit, like the owner of this Dream Island, were said to have been called in for tea yesterday after protesting and have not returned since.

The zoo was also directly sealed the next day. A project worth trillions was sealed by the political district without batting an eye, which made the remaining zoo owners in the Central China Region instantly become honest.

Although this is a bit overbearing, the effect is also very obvious. In the two hundred years since the Federation was established, South Africa has experienced a total of thirteen large-scale epidemics, the most serious of which almost swept across half of Planet D, but the Central Asia Region, as the most populous, has never been affected.

The citizens of the Federation in Central Asia have always felt that those world-class plagues are far away from them, but even so, after hearing that a monkey had escaped, their expressions changed one by one. After all, they heard that hundreds of thousands of people had died outside, and they still felt a little uneasy.

"Where do you think that monkey will run to?" The red-haired senior also asked curiously.

"It should be in our University Town..." Guo Xiaoyun, who had no appetite, suddenly said.

"Huh?" The surrounding people were stunned upon hearing this, and several girls were so frightened that the meat on their chopsticks fell back into the plate, scolding, "You dead girl, you've learned to scare people?"

"I'm not scaring you..." Xiaoyun nonchalantly fiddled with the rice grains, "The South African monkeys imported by Dream Island are Koala Monkeys and Golden Bear Monkeys, all distributed in the zoo's B14 Zone. That location is surrounded by water on three sides, and the only direction to escape is through the B16 Boa Constrictor Zone, escaping northeast from the South Mountain area. The direction it passes through is either the Panlong Zone or our University Town Zone. The Panlong Zone is a lighting district, and the entire route from South Mountain is a highway. If it were going there, it would have been seen by road control and caught long ago. Moreover, monkeys are arboreal animals, so going to our University Town is the normal choice."

Everyone: "..."

She spoke as if she made a lot of sense.

"Xiaoyun..." A group of roommates said blankly, "How do you know so much?"

Guo Xiaoyun was also stunned for a moment, then stroked her chin and said, "I went there once when it opened two years ago."

"You're kidding..." Several roommates immediately rolled their eyes, "You're so familiar after only going once? You even know what animals are in what zone? And that was two years ago? Do you really think you're a prodigious photographic memory?"

Xiaoyun fell silent after hearing the rebuttal, because she also felt that what she said was a bit unbelievable. Her memory wasn't bad, but it was definitely not at the level of photographic memory, and even if she knew the animal zones, to analyze the direction the monkey was walking so clearly, was she really that familiar with the terrain there?

She found that since she started playing that game and became a Developer, this kind of thing seemed to happen often. Some unintentional memories from the past would always suddenly pop up when needed, as if her brain was a highly efficient intelligent computer.

Was she bewitched by playing the game?

Just then, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the cafeteria, and then they saw their bald-headed vice-principal walking in with a group of people in military uniforms.

Everyone was stunned by this scene. Xiaoyun narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking to herself: Could it really be so accurate?

According to her calculations, the route of the monkey coming to University Town Zone was from south to north. Their school was at the foot of South Mountain, so the monkey was very likely hiding in their school!

"Students, please don't be nervous..." The vice-principal tried his best to put on a comforting smile, but the smile looked more like crying, which made people even more nervous.

"I believe you have all seen the news about the monkey escaping from Dream Island yesterday. The troops have tracked down the monkey and successfully captured it, so the crisis has been resolved. However, since the monkey appeared in our school, and we found that the monkey was fed two hours ago, it is very likely that someone had direct contact with the monkey, so please cooperate with the officers to find that person."

Guo Xiaoyun's face twitched when she heard this. The images in her brain flashed rapidly, and suddenly an extremely inadvertent memory appeared in her mind, causing her face to darken.

Just now, when Wen Shanshan mentioned the topic of monkeys, the red-haired senior sister next to her obviously stiffened, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across her expression.

In fact, Guo Xiaoyun didn't pay attention to this scene when it happened, because her mind was full of thoughts about the game pod, and she almost subconsciously skipped the senior sister's unnatural expression. Logically speaking, the brain should subconsciously forget this kind of inadvertent scene.

But at this moment, after hearing the bald-headed principal's words, that inadvertent scene was instantly found by the brain and connected with the situation in front of her!

Although she was a little surprised by her ability, Guo Xiaoyun was more concerned about the information conveyed by this scene at this time.

Could it be...

No way...

Thinking of that possibility, Guo Xiaoyun felt as if her heart had fallen into an ice cellar.
