Chapter 253 alumni
Lu Yu replied, "I know. It’s September 1994 and the school just started not long ago."
I was completely powerless. "Let’s put it this way. I’m 20 years younger than you. You’re probably my alumni, but the age between us is really too far apart."
Lu Yu opened his mouth wide, "It can’t be that strange. Although I’m not good at studying, I’m not an idiot. Are you trying to trick me?"
I helplessly said, "Big brother, look at yourself and then look at me. What reason do I have to lie to you?" Do you have money? I see that you are even poorer than I am. Do you have any color? You are not a beauty, what is there to deceive a master? "
Lu Yu nodded his head and said: "That’s true, but your words are just too inconceivable. Since there’s a difference of twenty years between us, how could we have run into each other?"
I could only ask, "Only God knows about it. That’s right, have you ever met anyone else in this building?"
Lu Yu said: "No, it’s already good enough that I can find a place to hide. Where can I go to find someone? But when I heard the cry for help from outside, I didn’t dare to go out at all. I also sent out the cry like I did when I was looking for you, but those people didn’t believe me, so they all died. "
I suddenly thought of something and asked, "What method did you use to transmit the voice to my ears?" And you’re still saying that you’re not a ghost, how can a human have that kind of ability. "
Lu Yu took out a palm-sized apparatus, and said, "This thing is called a sound transmission device, and it can transmit sound to a radius of one kilometer. I invented it myself. Do you believe me this time?"
I nodded. "I do. But have you really found anyone else?"
Lu Yu shook his head and said: "I really don’t have one. If I had someone else accompanying me, at least I wouldn’t be so lonely. "Ai, it’s great that you’re here. Can you have a good chat with me?"
I waved my hand and said, "You really haven’t made much progress in your life. Rather than staying here and muddling along, why don’t you try your best to break through? Maybe you’ll have a chance to escape?"
Lu Yu bitterly smiled and said, "What you said was easy. In this chaotic world, it’s already good enough that you didn’t become a walking corpse. You still hope to escape, stop dreaming."
I shook my head. "What you said is wrong. Don’t stop if you can walk a step further. Look at the environment you’re in. To put it bluntly, it’s just a nest. It’s not a problem to live on while breathing. But is that a person’s goal?"
Lu Yu said, "Then let me ask you, even if we managed to escape, it would be in the era you lived in. The air is much better than here. Is it easier to live than here?"
I was stunned before I replied smilingly, "That’s not true. In fact, the haze in the real world is quite heavy. People are tired from living and the price of the house is so high that they can’t even breathe. But it’s still much better than here."
Lu Yu sighed, shook his head and said, "That can’t be, I don’t think it’s much better than this place."
I said embarrassedly, "No matter what, it’s still much better than here. At the very least, in the real world, there aren’t so many living corpses eating around."
Lu Yu sighed, "Actually, there are. It’s just that you didn’t notice it."
I didn’t want to continue talking nonsense with him, so I asked, "Do you have any way of escaping? Since you have stayed here for a period of time, you should at least come up with a plan, right? "
Lu Yu said, "My idea is that we might have fallen into a parallel world. Although it’s similar to the original world, due to some factors, it became like this. This isn’t heaven, nor hell, nor some movie or television base."
I continued to ask, "Since you’ve pretty much understood everything, do we still have any way of getting out?"
Lu Yu pondered for a moment before asking, "How did you get in that time?"
I replied, "I fell into a hole and climbed out. It just became like this outside."
It seems that the pit should be a wormhole. Through that wormhole, we arrived at the same world, and if we want to go back, we can only return from the same place. "
I hesitated, "It’s easy for you to say that. There are a lot of undeads outside. How are we going to get there?"
Lu Yu said with a smile, "That’s right, I don’t have any other way. If I had a way, I would have already gone over, and I wouldn’t have been stuck here for so long."
I asked, "Do you have anything to eat? I’m a little hungry."
Lu Yu opened a can and said, "Lunch meat, let’s eat. It’s impossible to cook vegetables."
I tasted a few mouthfuls, but the taste was still passable. I ate a few more before asking, "Did you survive by relying on the canned food here?"
Lu Yu nodded, and said: "There has always been running water here, and it actually has electricity. The canned food is in the storage room on the upper floor, and there are still over a hundred boxes, and there should be quite a lot of other food. That should be the school canteen’s storage room, and there should be enough food for a while.
I sighed. "Even though you don’t need to worry about food and drinks, there will always be a day where you will sit idly by. Have you never thought about escaping?"
Lu Yu said: "I’m just looking at the scene in front of me, it’s good that I can stay alive for the time being. I haven’t eaten all the food, so I just ran out. I ended up dying. Didn’t I lose something?"
I helplessly smiled. "What you said isn’t wrong. However, you should have family as well. Don’t you have the time to go back and meet them?"
Lu Yu’s face sank as he sighed: "I grew up as an orphan in the orphanage, and I was the first person there to get into university. Although I have some relationship with the orphanage, from a blood-related perspective, I don’t have any relatives. Even if I go out, who can I meet?"
I hastily apologized. "I’m sorry, I overspoke and touched your sore spot."
Lu Yu said: "It’s nothing, I’m already used to it. Right, did the external world change too much? Is it easier to go to college than it used to be? "
"It is better than before, but the school fees are much more expensive." When I said the money I paid for the first year, Lu Yu’s jaw dropped in shock, "It was so expensive. At that time, the school even gave me money."
I said smilingly, "Let’s not talk about this anymore. We’ll discuss our plan to escape after we’ve eaten our fill."
Lu Yu shook his head, "I think the food here is enough for us to eat for a long time. You should wait here for a while, it won’t be too late for us to leave after a while."
I said a little angrily, "What’s the difference between living here and being a ghost? You want to stay? I don’t want to stay. No, we have to move soon! "
Lu Yu firmly shook his head and said, "You’re still too young and impulsive. Right now, the corpses outside are all in groups. How could it be so easy to escape? It’s better to think things over carefully."
