"Um... who are you?"
A cautious voice came from behind.
Shen Heng slowly sheathed his sword and stood up straight, glancing at the high school student behind him with some curiosity.
What was he doing squatting down just now?
A question flashed through his mind, and he strode towards the other person.
"We are inspectors from the Public Security Supervision Bureau, specializing in handling these kinds of incidents!"
As Shen Heng spoke, he pulled out an ID from his pocket and showed it to him.
"It's safe here for now, but we're not sure if other Spore Person will come. Go back to the meeting room and hide. There will be an announcement later; come out after the announcement!"
"Uh... um, um, okay, I understand!"
Huang Ruiyang nodded subconsciously, his gaze following the ID that had already been taken back by the other party.
He didn't actually see what was written on the ID, but seeing the other person take out their ID made him feel much more at ease.
Ignoring the person, Shen Heng listened to the noise around him and then quickly headed towards the next location.
Huang Ruiyang stood there blankly until the figure disappeared from his sight before he came to his senses, turned around and walked unsteadily toward the conference room.
After some fuss, the people in the meeting room finally opened the door and let him in.
After he entered the house, everyone looked at him with some curiosity.
"Um... how did you survive?"
Huang Ruiyang glanced at everyone and said:
You might not believe it if I told you...
"Tap tap tap..."
A flurry of footsteps echoed through the empty lobby.
The two figures rushed towards each other, and the distance between them quickly closed.
Shen Heng held the knife in one hand, watching the Spore Person stretch out its five fingers and grab at him.
He suddenly crouched down, and using his left leg as the center, his right leg swiftly swept across the opponent with a sweeping kick.
With a 'bang', the Spore Person was swept straight to the ground.
Shen Heng quickly stood up, turned around and took two steps forward, stepping onto the back of the Spore Person.
Raise the knife and stab!
With a 'hiss' sound, the Spore Person, who had been trying to get up, collapsed to the ground.
"The third one..."
Shen Heng spoke softly.
Wei Leyang's question came through the earpiece.
" Shen Heng, are there any other places with Spore Person?"
"Wait a minute, let me listen!"
Shen Heng gave a simple reply, then closed his eyes and listened attentively.
One hundred meters, two hundred meters, five hundred meters, one thousand meters...
The sound of wind, birdsong, whispers...
After a long while, Shen Heng slowly opened his eyes and gently pressed his hand near his ear.
"I haven't heard any strange noises, but let's wait another five minutes. The transformation of Spore Person takes three minutes, and if some Spore Person haven't successfully transformed yet, five minutes should be enough!"
"Okay, let me know where you find any Spore Person and I'll head over!" Wei Leyang said into his headset.
"Okay, sure!" Shen Heng replied.
He didn't stand on ceremony and went ahead himself. Wei Leyang, at Tier 2, was clearly faster than him. Moreover, Wei Leyang's ability allowed him to go directly upstairs, unlike himself, who still had to obediently climb the stairs.
Shen Heng glanced down at the corpse on the ground and couldn't help but sigh softly.
I don't know how many people died this time, but he himself has killed more than ten...
Without dwelling on it any longer, Shen Heng lifted his leg and walked out of the lobby.
He was going to wait at the broadcasting station. If everything went smoothly, he would announce over the loudspeaker that all students should gather at the gate, and then the incident could be brought to a close.
Three minutes later.
Shen Heng arrived at the broadcasting station, but it was empty. The people who were supposed to be there had disappeared.
He listened intently, and...
There were quite a few people hiding in the art building area. Shen Heng Shen Heng didn't know if the principal and his group, who were supposed to be at the broadcasting station, were among them, but he guessed they probably were.
He stopped thinking about it. As things stand now, those who aren't dead are probably beyond saving, and those who are dead are beyond his ability to save.
He walked slowly to the window of the broadcasting station and looked out of the school through the window.
The streets outside the school were deserted, with not a single person or car in sight.
As the gaze travels along the street, at the end of the street as far as the eye can see, the road is cordoned off with yellow and black police tape. Inside the tape, olive-green armed police vehicles are parked, and armed police officers are on guard.
Shen Heng stood by the window, silently watching the scene before him, while quietly listening to the sounds coming from the campus.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice finally reached my ears.
" Decaying Spore resolved, event over!"
"Notice! Notice!! This incident has ended. All teachers and students, please assemble at the school gate. We will conduct a test for everyone and then send you home!!!"
A gentle broadcast echoed across the campus.
In the library.
A short-haired girl turned to look at the people around her and asked in a low voice.
"Do you think this is believable?"
The freckled girl hesitated for a moment, then said:
"It should work, right? Those Spore Person just now didn't seem to be able to talk, did they?"
"Then... shall we go outside?" the short-haired girl asked tentatively.
"Yes, but we still need to be careful!" The freckled girl nodded.
The group arrived at the door and carefully moved down the tables and chairs that had been piled up to block the entrance.
After all the tables and chairs were moved, the short-haired girl turned her head to look at everyone, then took a deep breath and carefully placed her hand on the doorknob.
"Creak--"
The iron gate slowly opened a crack.
The short-haired girl first peeked out through the crack in the door, then widened the crack and quietly poked her head out.
She looked around to make sure there were no Spore Person nearby before carefully opening the door.
"Walk!"
She gently waved.
The group cautiously made their way downstairs. Even though the announcement said the incident had been resolved, they were still somewhat worried.
Third floor, second floor, first floor...
It wasn't until I walked out of the library that I saw groups of people walking towards the school gate.
"Call--!"
The short-haired girl let out a long sigh of relief, feeling much calmer.
However, they did not separate, but instead walked together toward the school gate.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the school gate.
The black thorns that had blocked the entrance had vanished, and were now only visible on the surrounding railings.
On the platform in front of the school gate, one after another, students like them were gathering at the school gate.
However, they were not standing haphazardly, but rather in long lines.
Beside them, uniformed personnel were maintaining Order.
