Most people are selfish!

Guo Xiaoyun deeply understood this only now, because if she hadn't been eating at the same table with this senior today, even if they were very close, she would probably have reported her under the guise of public safety.

Even if she didn't report her openly, she would give the instructor hints in secret. How could she possibly stop her from turning herself in like she is now?

Data has shown that most people infected with the virus are unwilling to be quarantined. Many people know they have the virus, but they still try every means to run back to their hometown, either to return to their roots, to take revenge on society, or to see their families. Even though they know that they may infect their families, friends, or even their closest people, most people still do it!

There are many reasons. Some people are hoping for a lucky escape, and some people simply don't care anymore. Outsiders find it incomprehensible, but only those who are in the situation know that in the moment when death is approaching, people's selfishness will be fully displayed.

Guo Xiaoyun is one of the many ordinary people who are hoping for a lucky escape!

As a well-educated college student, she naturally knows the consequences of a virus leak. In severe cases, tens of thousands of people may die, but she still hopes for a lucky escape. Just like what the bald-headed principal said, the monkey may not be a sick monkey, and everything is just a false alarm. There is no need to make a fuss...

She doesn't want to be quarantined, even if it means gambling with the lives of millions of people.

"Guo Xiaoyun... I..." The wine-red-haired senior no longer had the appearance of a big sister, and said fearfully, "I... I really didn't mean to..."

Guo Xiaoyun narrowed her eyes, without a trace of sympathy. In this situation where she might be infected with the virus by the other party, she was in no mood to sympathize with her. But at this time, in order not to let the instructor see anything, she could only comfort her in a low voice: "It's okay, senior. You also heard what the bald guy said, the monkey is very likely to be healthy, and you just fed it, nothing will happen."

"Yeah..." Ya Xin herself was originally hoping for a lucky escape, and after being said so by the other party, she nodded repeatedly. Guo Xiaoyun's eyes were twitching at the sight, but she had to encourage this emotion in the other party.

"But... will the school arrest us all for quarantine?" Ya Xin worried.

"Impossible..." Guo Xiaoyun shook her head and said, "Our university, including teachers, has seventy to eighty thousand people. City C doesn't have the resources to quarantine everyone. At most, they will block the school and not let us out!"

"Will they block the school?" Ya Xin suddenly panicked again.

Seeing the other party's posture, Guo Xiaoyun secretly complained: What a useless fellow!

But she had to continue to put on a comforting posture, directly holding the other party's hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as no one shows any symptoms of the virus in the next few days, it will be fine after the experimental results of the monkey come out."

"Is that so..." Ya Xin's mood eased a little after hearing this, but Guo Xiaoyun's heart suddenly sank, because when she held the senior's hands just now, she only felt like they were as cold as ice. In such hot weather, it is unlikely that people's hands and feet would be so cold, right?

Looking closely now, the senior's face is pale. At first, she thought she was scared, but now it seems really abnormal. How could a person be so scared?

Could it be...

"Senior, your face doesn't look good. You will easily be interrogated separately later. Come... eat some chili peppers to moisten your face."

"Ah?" Ya Xin was stunned, and stammered, "I... I... I can't eat spicy food."

"It's best if you can't eat spicy food, it will be easier to get a flushed face."

"No... let's not..." Ya Xin said pitifully.

Guo Xiaoyun: "Come... open your mouth!"

At this time, Guo Xiaoyun's emotions were almost at the peak of eruption. Although she didn't want to admit it, she understood in her heart that she was likely to be tricked by the person in front of her!

She doesn't know whether the virus can be transmitted through the air, but it is almost 100% certain that it can be transmitted through saliva. If it is transmitted through blood, it is impossible to cause such a terrible scale in the news in such a short time.

Judging from the senior's physical performance, she is probably infected, and most of us who eat with her are probably also...

The worst situation has really happened!

Thinking of this, and seeing the other party still pretending to be pitiful, Guo Xiaoyun couldn't wait to stab the other party to death with a chopstick!

Ya Xin also noticed the coldness in the other party's eyes, and shivered suddenly, not daring to act cute anymore, and obediently opened her mouth.

She couldn't help but think to herself: How can this girl's eyes be so terrifying?

"What are you doing?" The two female roommates at the opposite table saw Guo Xiaoyun stuffing large pieces of chili pepper into Ya Xin's mouth one after another, and their expressions immediately turned strange.

The cafeteria had been buzzing with discussion earlier, and they hadn't heard the two's quiet conversation. Seeing this scene now, they were a little dumbfounded.

Guo Xiaoyun, while stuffing chili peppers into Ya Xin's mouth, said expressionlessly, "Senior's complexion isn't very good. I'm afraid she'll be made difficult by those soldiers..."

"Mmm, mmm..." Ya Xin nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes, leaving the two speechless. They thought to themselves: Could being made difficult really be worse than what you're doing?

The principal at the door, seeing that no one admitted to anything, looked displeased and said in a deep voice, "Since no one admits to anything, then please cooperate with the investigation. After everyone finishes eating, line up in order to return to the dormitories. Without permission, you may not leave the dormitory at will. At meal times, there will be dedicated people to guide you to the cafeteria. Please maintain order and do not do anything rash."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

What did this mean? Were they being imprisoned? What a joke!

A group of people immediately started making a fuss.

The principal was about to say more when the officer next to him coughed lightly and stepped forward slowly: "Quiet!"

The officer's voice was very deep, and coupled with his dignified face and aura different from ordinary people, he immediately suppressed the troublemakers in the cafeteria.

But Guo Xiaoyun seemed very calm. The pressure from this officer was too far from the soldiers she had encountered in the game. She didn't feel any pressure at all.

"I believe most of you have seen the news about the virus. This virus is very dangerous. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, for your safety and the safety of the people outside, we have no choice but to do this. Please understand. This time, the higher-ups have transferred a regiment of marine corps from the military region to completely block off the school. Outside are fully armed soldiers. Please cooperate and do not do anything rash!"

Everyone's expressions turned ashen upon hearing this. Was this a blatant threat?

However, everyone was still honest. After all, this wasn't the internet, and no hero dared to jump out and say something witty like, "Do you have the guts to kill me?"

When faced with the threat of force, even a group of bear children were still very pragmatic...

Guo Xiaoyun continued to feed chili peppers expressionlessly, only stopping when she had fed the senior until her face was flushed. She then put down her chopsticks and nodded, "Yes, her complexion is much better..."

Ya Xin: "Wuwu... Where is it better? Her lips are swollen..."

Guo Xiaoyun ignored her, but stood up, raised her hand and smiled: "Principal, we're done eating here..."

The principal and the officer were both slightly stunned. They both felt that this girl was either too simple-minded to understand the situation or too carefree, still able to smile so brightly?

Little did they know that Guo Xiaoyun was smiling on her face, but she was extremely anxious in her heart.

She had to hurry back to the dormitory. In this almost desperate situation, she knew in her heart that she had not completely reached a dead end. As long as she returned to the game pod, as long as she could return to that game, that game could save her!!
