Chapter 69 - 69 32 Meal Window No

69: Chapter 32: Meal Window No.

10 – Part 2 69: Chapter 32: Meal Window No.

10 – Part 2 Their speed was neither fast nor brisk, often stiff and slow, as if they were the walking dead.

But when their numbers increased, the walking dead could turn into a siege of zombies.

“Liangzi, go put the tray down!

After you’re done, immediately exit through the Student Passage!

Don’t look back, even if I call you, don’t look back, just charge forward, run!

Liangzi!

Run!” Lin Yi shouted, “Don’t turn around, even if I call you, don’t turn around, just keep going forward, run!”

“I got it!

I got it!

Take care of yourself, damn it!” Wei Liang said as he staggered toward the tray return area with one hand holding the tray and the other supporting his old waist.

The tray return area was towards the direction of the entrance and exit of the Student Cafeteria; now in a straight line, he could clearly see the door of the Student Cafeteria!

The warm sunshine fell on the exit of the Student Cafeteria, and Wei Liang momentarily felt a wonderful sensation of running under the setting sun.

Only, his running companion was not a girl with long legs, wearing a tennis cap, a red sexy tank top, jeans hot shorts, and white sports shoes, but Lin Yi, who was poking his waist with a tray.

“That push from Old Lin had somewhat a hint of settling private scores!” He remembered how he had often teased Lin Yi about kidney deficiency, “Despicable, really too despicable!”

Wei Liang continuously diverted his attention.

Soon, he rushed to the tray return station.

The tray return station was a huge metal rack with leftover food recycling bins, and standing beside the tray return station was a Cafeteria staff member dressed in a white chef’s outfit and wearing a blue apron.

Seeing Wei Liang rushing over frantically, the staff member with the blue apron hurried over to receive the tray.

Wei Liang subconsciously moved to hand over the tray.

“Liangzi!

Don’t trust him!

Cafeteria rules!

Cafeteria rules, damn it!”

The roar from Lin Yi, laden with intense anxiety, erupted from behind him, like a basin of hot water poured over his head!

“F*ck me!” Wei Liang jerked violently, his arm twitched, and the motion to pass the tray froze there.

His heart clenched, and he instantly realized.

The Cafeteria rules stated:

[Leftover food should be directly poured into the recycling bins, no takeaways allowed.

If any staff member asks if you need to package food or accuses you of wasting food, ignore them, remember, no Cafeteria staff will appear in the Student Cafeteria area]

Indeed, the Cafeteria rules only mentioned staff inquiring about packaging and accusing you of wasting food, but don’t forget the line below: no Cafeteria staff will appear in the Student Cafeteria area!

So this chef…

was obviously very suspicious!

The moment he thought of this rule, Wei Liang was immediately drenched in a cold sweat: “Damn…

Was I almost fooled just now?!”

Being interrupted by the reminder, the chef with the blue apron also froze.

But his stiffness was not that of a normal person, but like a robot suddenly losing power and crashing.

Following that, he briefly glanced sideways, tilting his head to look at Lin Yi with a calm gaze, seemingly devoid of any emotion.

Wei Liang reached the tray return station, separated the tray and chopsticks, and then, without looking back, charged toward the entrance of the Student Cafeteria.

Lin Yi queued behind him, and after placing his tray, he immediately followed Wei Liang’s silhouette and left the Student Cafeteria.

But just then, a surprising voice suddenly arose behind him:

“Old Lin!”

It was Kuai Hongji’s voice, filled with surprise and the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

Lin Yi was startled and instinctively wanted to turn around.

But he immediately realized something, jerked, and then also charged without looking back toward the entrance of the Student Cafeteria.

At that moment, he suddenly heard a series of loud “clash and clatter” sounds from somewhere in the Student Cafeteria, like someone stumbling into a room full of metal racks and accidentally knocking them all over.

Lin Yi had neither the intention nor the courage to attend to such noises, but peculiarly, the source of the noise appeared right in front of him!

As time passed, the lighting area of the Cafeteria changed, and an unlit area had unknowingly emerged next to the location near the entrance of the Student Cafeteria.

And in that unlit area, there was also a dragon-like queue!

Lin Yi did not want to deal with what it was about, but the scene was right in his sight, so he saw that dark area, saw the dragon-like queue, saw…

a window.

Window number 10.

The 10th serving window, now obscured in the dark area, had a long line snaking into the darkness…

This eerie feeling was like encountering ghostly troops in broad daylight!

And moreover, the position of the number 10 meal window is actually in such a place?

Why didn’t I notice just now?!

“I…?!” Lin Yi’s pupils suddenly constricted.

As he was running, he suddenly felt as if he had drawn a breath of extremely cold air from the ice plains, filling his organs with an indescribable chill.

It was as if someone had filled his lungs with ice, nearly suffocating him!

And he also saw the source of the strange noise!

A chef wearing a green apron had difficulty squeezing out from the number 10 meal window!

The window’s glass afforded him very limited space, yet he forced his way out from inside.

Lin Yi’s hair stood on end, and what chilled him even more was that, facing such bizarre and inexplicable behavior from the chef in the green apron, all the students in line at the number 10 window showed absolutely no reaction!

At that moment, he instantly thought of a rule:

[After dining, please place your tray at the return slot before leaving.

If you hear a strange noise from window number 10 as you are leaving, immediately hold your Student ID card in your hand, find the “Student Passage,” and leave at once.

As you leave, if you find that you are being watched by an employee in a green apron and he starts moving towards you quickly, decide whether to head for the “Student Passage” or the Convenience Store based on your location.

Do not stop, do not turn back, and do not respond to his calling until you enter the “Student Passage” or reach the Convenience Store, even if you feel he is about to catch up to you.]

“What I should do in this situation is…

hold the Student ID card in my hand, then immediately rush to the Student Passage or the Convenience Store!”

“Liangzi has already had enough time to escape!

What about me?

What about me?!”

“Student Passage!”

“Convenience Store!!”

In a critical moment, his mind raced with terrifying speed.

“The Student Passage is outside the Cafeteria!”

“The Convenience Store, on the other hand…?”

He instinctively looked around, but immediately dismissed the idea.

“To start looking for the Convenience Store now?

I might as well beg for death; that would be quicker!”

And the Convenience Store…

“Unless the Convenience Store is in the opposite direction of the chef in the green apron, otherwise wouldn’t I just be running into his face?!”

Moreover, there are several rules for the Convenience Store, and he simply didn’t have time to think them through!

Thus, in an extremely short amount of time, he made a simple calculation and then realized he could reach the entrance of the Student Cafeteria quicker than the chef in green apron could!

“But the chef in the green apron is much farther from the exit than me; thus, his speed is much faster than mine…”

Escaping the Cafeteria area wasn’t just about getting out of the Student Cafeteria; it was about completing the Student Passage.

“If I get caught in the Student Passage, isn’t that asking for death?!”

He assumed the chef in the green apron had a mechanism for killing, and he had already triggered this mechanism!

“No, no!

The killing mechanism isn’t like that!”

“‘Do not stop, do not turn back, do not respond to his calling, even if you feel he is about to catch up with you.'”

“So if the Cafeteria rules are right, even if the chef in the green apron catches up, as long as I don’t look back at him, there won’t be any danger!”

“Even, he might not be able to catch up to me at all?!”

“Like the ‘Achilles paradox’?”

“Could it be that…

the chef in the green apron is a restriction, and the real danger is those people who surrounded me earlier?!”

As he calculated, his body was already rushing towards the entrance of the Cafeteria.

“Charge!” Lin Yi roared in his mind, pushing his speed to the limit and shooting out like an arrow!

“Fellow student…” the barely audible voice of the chef in the green apron came from the direction of the number 10 meal window, in the dimly lit area deprived of light, he moved like a specter.

As Lin Yi started sprinting, his speed also escalated dramatically, according to this trend, he was bound to meet Lin Yi at the entrance of the Student Cafeteria!
