Survivor 01 [Unlimited] Chapter 2: Lin Xianxian-[01]

When Ye Fei woke up, his head was still aching.

His brain felt like it would explode... well.. it had indeed exploded just now.

It's a pity that he didn't die, and Ye Fei couldn't do anything about it, so he, at least wanted to sleep comfortably here.

However, being a 1.8-meter adult man curled up on a 1.6-meter dormitory bed meant for primary school students, he felt extremely aggrieved. Frowning, he jerked himself up as his irritation peaked, attempting to find a bed suitable for adults within the space he was in.

Someone beside him seemed frightened and yelled:

"Oh!!! OH MY GOD!!!"

But Ye Fei ignored him, raised his eyes listlessly, and looked around.

The place he was in was a student dormitory: a shabby-looking four-person room with an incandescent light bulb hanging from the ceiling, casting a cold, white light throughout the whole room. There were desks, chairs, wardrobes, calendars, and an electronic clock with a stopped pointer, but no comfortable-looking bed in sight.

Ye Fei sighed and fell back on the small bed.

The old bed frame of the small bed made a creaking sound as he moved, This scared Zhou Zhengning who was next to him half to death.

He had just seen Ye Fei being eliminated by the game system in the loading space and the system had confirmed the death with an announcement.

When he first saw Ye Fei lying on the bed, he initially thought that the game had teleported the corpse in as well.

As a result, he was observing his surroundings when the "corpse" on the bed opposite him suddenly sat upright.

At that moment, Zhou Zhengning had only one thought in his mind:

"Oh shit, my teammate has been resurrected!!"

But before he could figure out how to have an exciting chase in such a small room, his teammate who cheated death lay back down again.

Zhou Zhengning was stunned for a moment and boldly went to Ye Fei's bedside to take a look. Seeing that he seemed to be still breathing, he tentatively asked in a low voice:

"Teacher Ye? Are you still alive? You're not dead, right?"

Ye Fei ignored him.

Zhou Zhengning's heart was lifted again:

"What's wrong with you...?"

Ye Fei replied feebly, his face resting in his arms, his voice muffled.

"Can't you see it? I'm playing passively."

Ye Fei's tone was very depressed. After a while, he found that the person next to him did not respond or leave, so he opened one eye and took a quick look.

He hadn't dealt with people for quite a while, and to be honest, it was quite refreshing to meet a living person who was willing to talk to him nicely.

A young man in his twenties squatted beside his bed. His hair was dyed yellow, with a section of black roots showing at the top because he hadn't re-dyed it in time. It looked like a two-toned lump of pudding - black on top and yellow on the bottom.

Ye Fei's Adam's apple rolled slightly.

He changed his posture, lying on his side with his head supported on his hands, and whistled to bring him back to his senses.

He originally wanted to say something to this big pudding, but at that moment, a piercing system prompt suddenly sounded in the originally quiet room:

【The game is about to start】

【Welcome all players to stay in room 311 of the boys dormitory at Lujiang No. 3 Primary School】

【Lin Xianxian is a student in Class 3, Grade 3 at Lujiang No. 3 Primary School, which is a harmonious and loving family. Please enjoy a beautiful day with Lin Xianxian】

【ding-】

【midnight 00:00】

【During the break, please stay in your own dormitory and don't go out. The dormitory aunt who patrols the building doesn't like naughty children】

Upon hearing these prompts, Ye Fei narrowed his eyes slightly.

He looked at the huge electronic clock hanging above the dormitory door, which displayed the time as

"March 16, 3035 00:00".

The clock had been stopped at this time, but after the game system ended its prompt, the seconds on the clock began to jump, and the timing officially started.

Zhou Zhengning also noticed it. He touched his chin and muttered to himself:

"'Enjoy a beautifull day'? in a survival instance, the time limit is only 24 hours a day. Is it that simple?"

"If only it were that simple. Instead of chatting, why not look for clues? Otherwise, you might as well die without knowing how"

Someone in the corner suddenly spoke up.

This dormitory is a four-person room with two beds on each side of the room. Except for one empty bed, there was only one person sitting on the small bed diagonally opposite Ye Fei.

The man was thin and wore a plaid shirt. Ye Fei didn't know his name, but he had an impression of his voice - the one that mocked him in the loading space.

Ye Fei didn't care much. He glanced at him lightly, then looked away. He lazily lay back on the bed, changed into a comfortable position, and closed his eyes again.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Zhengning was taken aback for a moment:

"Teacher Ye?"

Ye Fei knew what he was going to ask, he waved his hand at Zhou Zhengning, and answered  seriously:

"I'm a third-grade elementary school student now. It's midnight, and I should be in bed sleeping, so I can have the energy to enjoy a  beautiful day tomorrow."

"...Really?" Zhou Zhengning was a little uncertain.

Because he actually felt that what Ye Fei said made some sense.

"Do you believe him?"

Seeing his stupid appearance, Zhang Shang felt that it was outrageous.

He got down from the small bed with a bad tone, but he was probably still a little afraid of Ye Fei, so he didn't say any more ugly words.

He passed by Zhou Zhengning, who looked at his back and pouted, but still got up after him, trying to find any useful clues in the room.

Ye Fei rested his hands on his head, opened one eye and watched the two people rummaging around in the room, and then he looked around the room.

3035 is more than a hundred years away from now. This dormitory also has a sense of age, with rusty iron cabinets, dusty light bulbs, walls painted with light green wall panels, dark gray cement floors, army green sheets and quilts... It's quite realistic.

"Teacher Ye, this is your first time playing a game, right? Don't be negative. In this game, you can really die if you're not careful."

Zhou Zhengning's persuasion successfully attracted Ye Fei's attention.

Ye Fei didn't take it seriously, and replied casually:

"I just died but I'm still alive and well."

Zhou Zhengning shrugged, picked up a stack of papers from the dusty cabinet next to the door, and shook off the dust on it:

"I haven't encountered such a situation before. Maybe the death in the loading space does not count, but Teacher Ye, you really can't take it lightly. What if you really die next time?"

"I'd rather die than live."

"Only by living can we do many meaningful things! Don't you have anything special you want to do?"

"have-"

Ye Fei dragged his voice, and turned around under Zhou Zhengning's encouraging eyes:

"I really want to die."

Zhou Zhengning's expression collapsed.

Seeing him like this, Ye Fei was so happy that he laughed out loud:

"Why, you have a strong desire to live?"

"Yes."  Zhou Zhengning answered while flipping through the pages in his hand. These were all test papers or forms, which looked unimportant:

"Although life is difficult and the future is uncertain, we still have to live well. After all, we only have one life, and maybe better days are ahead?"

After saying this, he sighed, as if talking to himself:

"I've heard people say that survival dungeons have the lowest survival rate. Now that I've seen it for myself. Sure enough, there's no main plot, no rules, no purpose, and even hints and clues are pitiful. No wonder the survival rate is so low. I don't even know how to survive."

Ye Feiyang lay on the bed listening to Zhou Zhengning talk. He rested his hands on his head and looked at the ceiling, staring directly at the overbright light bulb on the top for a long time without feeling uncomfortable in his eyes.

He lightly touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, looking thoughtful.

After a while, he turned his eyes away from the light bulb, swung his legs, and said:

"Think about it, it allows players to enjoy a beautiful day with Lin Xianxian. Now that the beautiful day has begun, where is Lin Xianxian?"

"Lin Xianxian... This is the men's dormitory. If we want to find Lin Xianxian, we have to go to the women's dormitory... What the hell?"

Zhou Zhengning hadn't finished speaking, when he thought of something and let out a curse.

He took out a piece of paper:

"Dormitory 311, Zhou Zhengning, Zhang Shang, Ye Fei, Lin Xianxian?? Lin Xianxian is a boy? Just now the system reminded students to stay in the dormitory. Where is Lin Xianxian? Will he die if he doesn't come back? He will die! Will we die if he dies?? But we can’t go out, how are we going to find him??”

It could be seen that Zhou Zhengning was really afraid of death.

Ye Fei looked at him and rubbed his fingers unconsciously.

'This pudding is really noisy.'

Thinking of this, Ye Fei sat up.

There was a small schoolbag with his name on it on his bed. He took it and flipped through it. There were only a few worn-out exercise books in it.

He didn't take it seriously, zipped up the schoolbag, and threw it aside, he finally left the small bed, stretched himself again, and walked straight to the door.

He originally wanted to open the door directly, but before that, he noticed a poster on the door.

The poster had turned yellow, and the pattern in the middle showed several cartoon elementary school students standing hand in hand, with the text: Love each other, live in harmony and friendship.

Ye Fei took a quick look and found a small bump in the center of the poster.

"Come on, let me borrow your hand."

Ye Fei pushed Zhou Zhengning, who was still doubting his life, away.

Zhou Zhengning blinked:

"what?"

Ye Fei gave Zhou Zhengning a reason very perfunctorily, raised his hand touched the center of the poster, and used his fingertips to outline a bulge on it, which looked like a peephole.

Ye Fei tore off the poster casually.

With a "swish" sound, the poster was lifted up, revealing the remaining glue from the poster on the door panel and a broken peephole.

The lens on the peephole was broken, with only a small gap to see outside.

Ye Fei closed one eye and took a closer look. He remembered Zhou Zhengning's question just now, and explained slowly:

"Lin Xianxian is a girl. The background of this game sounds very familiar... Haven't you heard about the serial suicide case at Lujiang No. 3 Primary School in 3035?"

"No."- Zhou Zhengning was a little confused.

"You are not that old, are you? Don't schools nowadays teach modern history?"

Ye Fei looked out through the gap in the peephole,it was pitch black outside. He knocked on the door with his fingers, and the voice-activated lights in the corridor lit up.

The light in the corridor was the same as that in the room, pale and cold. It was also empty outside and he could only see the dirty wall opposite.

"Uh, Well, I didn't go to school much. When I was in junior high school, I was distracted in class and awakened my supernatural powers. After being detected, I was no longer eligible to continue studying..."

Hearing this, Ye Fei lowered his eyes slightly, a little absent-minded.

When he looked up again, the voice-controlled lights in the corridor had gone out.

He spoke again, his tone was indifferent, still as lazy as before, and no emotion could be heard:

"The elementary school suicides in 3035 marked the beginning of modern history. The last one that really caused a sensation was the one in which sixteen third-grade students collectively stood on the rooftop and attempted to jump off the building. They were in extremely poor mental condition, emotionally agitated, and hurt others and themselves. They were later rescued and sent to a mental hospital, but their condition did not improve at all."

Ye Fei knocked on the door again, and the lights in the corridor turned on again.

Only this time there was one more person outside the door.

It was a thin and small girl with short ear-length hair and a dirty school uniform, She was standing in the middle of the corridor with her head down.

Ye Fei was slightly stunned.

"So what does this have to do with Lin Xianxian?"

Zhou Zhengning next to him asked.

Ye Fei stared at the peephole in silence for a moment, then straightened up after a while, stopped looking into the peephole, and wiped the dusty glass with his fingertips:

"This little girl is the one behind this."

Ye Fei looked at Zhou Zhengning with a half-smile, and pointed to the peephole on the door:

Would you like to see her?"

Zhou Zhengning looked at him, a little confused, nodded and leaned over to take a look.

He imitated Ye Fei and knocked on the door with his fingers. The voice-controlled light came on and he saw a thin and small girl standing very close to the peephole, her shoulders shaking as if she was crying.

After a while, the girl seemed to have noticed something, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears, raised her eyes, and looked at the door panel in front of her with tears in her eyes—

It was like she was looking at Zhou Zhengning.

At the same time, he heard Ye Fei explaining to him, but the voice he heard in his ears was inexplicably a little hazy:

"Lin Xianxian,female, was nine years old at the time, the first known supernatural person in the world.  The suicide attempt she caused had an extremely bad impact on society. Later, she was transferred to the Central Laboratory... You can think of it as the White Tower a hundred years ago."

Ye Fei leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, talking casually, but when he raised his eyes, he suddenly found that Zhou Zhengning was in a strange state.

Looking closely, this guy seemed a little stiff and his whole body was shaking slightly

"Are you okay?" Ye Fei raised an eyebrow slightly.

Zhou Zhengning opened his mouth and wanted to answer, but it was as if someone was strangling his throat and no sound came out.

He looked into Lin Xianxian's eyes through the peephole, and an indescribable sense of fear squeezed his heart tightly.

A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back, and his whole body felt numb from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

His body was overwhelmed by fear, as if he had fallen into the deep sea, unable to breathe.

Just when he thought he was about to suffocate, someone grabbed his collar from behind and dragged him away from the door.

Strangely enough, after falling into Ye Fei's hands, Zhou Zhengning inexplicably felt a certain emotion rising in his heart, which neutralized the fear brought to him by Lin Xianxian and made him feel much better.

"..." Zhou Zhengning was still a little sluggish, and it took him a long time to recover.

His face was terribly pale, and his lips were trembling, but after pausing for a moment, he remembered to ask the story that he had not finished listening to:

"She was responsible for the elementary school student's suicide, so what is her...her ability?"

"Ah..." Ye Fei paused, then shrugged:

"Emotional control."

So it was Lin Xianxian who had aroused his fear just now?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengning raised his right hand, and a light screen popped up from the information bracelet on his right hand:

【Player: Zhou Zhengning】

【Life status: healthy】

【Mental condition: Good】

Seeing this thing, Ye Fei was a little surprised, and he also lowered his head and shook his bracelet.

He didn't pay attention to this thing on his hand, and didn't know that it could be opened.

"My mental state has indeed declined..." Zhou Zhengning pursed his lips, and when he raised his eyes, he noticed Ye Fei's expression, andremembered that he was a new player and he had not explained these things to him yet.

He pointed to the two lines on the light screen:

"This is a real-time monitoring of our life spirit. If our life is reset to zero, we will die. If our spirit is reset to zero, we will be assimilated into the game copy. This bracelet has many uses. Teacher Ye, you can take a look at it yourself when you have time."

Ye Fei nodded.

He raised his hand, ready to fiddle with the light screen but his fingers froze in mid-air.

Ye Fei frowned slightly, put his finger on his lips, signaled Zhou Zhengning not to speak, and turned his face slightly to the wall.

He heard footsteps coming from not far away across the wall.

There was still Lin Xianxian in the corridor, but Ye Fei was sure that the sound was not made by Lin Xianxian, because the footsteps were a bit dragging, it was more like the sound of the soles of plastic slippers dragging on the ground, echoing in the empty corridor.

Hearing this sound, Ye Fei stretched out his hand to open the door without thinking, but before he could a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist tightly.

Someone asked in a hoarse voice:

"what are you doing?!"

Zhang Shang had been standing in the corner, trying to find clues himself while listening attentively to the conversation between Ye Fei and Zhou Zhengning, trying to dig out some useful information for himself.

He would naturally be happy if his teammates could do something useful to decrypt the information,  and it didn't matter if they were willing to die, However, if their actions involved Zhang Shang himself, that wouldn't work, such as Ye Fei's action of opening the door.

Ye Fei was caught off guard when the unfriendly man in the corner suddenly rushed out. He heard footsteps approaching the wall and despite his struggles, the skinny-looking man proved to be surprisingly strong, rendering Ye Fei unable to break free.

【Player 892 Zhang Shang uses the ability: Great Strength】

Ye Fei was too lazy to continue wasting his energy, he said nonchalantly:

"Let Lin Xianxian in."

The game system just gave two sentences: spend the day with Lin Xianxian, and midnight is the rest time.

But now Lin Xianxian was alone outside the door, and there were few people in their dormitory. The dormitory aunt who seemed to be the monster  outside the door will come up soon. The intention of the game rules is already very clear.

But some people just don't understand.

"Didn't you hear someone coming?! Besides, Huangmao  was already exhausted just now. If you open the door now, who knows what's outside? If you want to die, die by yourself, don't implicate us!"

Zhang Shang opened his eyes wide, and his already bulging eyeballs looked like they would fall out in the next second.

Zhou Zhengning frowned:

"Hey, what Teacher Yesaid makes sense. Let's listen to him. We need Lin Xianxian."

"Isn't it because of him that white tower treated us like dogs and threw us here for fun? Teacher Ye this, Teacher Ye that, I've wanted to say this for a long time, Do you still think he is some kind of big-shot savior? Who are you calling him so affectionate for? Do you really think he can protect you? If he can, he wouldn't have done that five years ago...!"

Zhang Shang's expression was a little ferocious, and in Ye Fei's eyes, the other party's ugliness reminded him of some unpleasant things.

Ye Fei stared straight at him, and after a while, he laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes, instead he looked even colder.

He still had dark circles under his eyes, which were buried in his messy hair and shadows. His skin was originally white, and under the cold light, it seemed as if there was no blood at all.

With this sudden smile, this man gave people a stronger sense of danger.

Zhang Shang on the opposite side was stunned for a moment.

He didn't know what Ye Fei did to him. For a moment, his mind went blank, and even his powerful ability was blocked.

At this moment, Ye Fei casually pushed him away.

He shrugged, and before Zhang Shang could react, he patted his face lightly, with a relaxed tone, as if he was telling a joke to coax a child:

"It's up to you then."

He did not try to touch the door handle again, but turned around and childishly hopped on one foot until he jumped to the bed and lay back down.

It was then that he heard a sharp female voice coming from outside the door:

"Over there, which dormitory are you from?! Lin Xianxian? It's you again!!!"

The woman yelled, her voice was sharp and shrill, and extremely penetrating.

As she finished shouting, the sound of slippers shuffling became closer and closer, becoming more and more rapid.

Ye Fei felt nothing in his heart. He leisurely opened his information bracelet, paused for a moment on the page of health status, and slid to the next page.

【Player: Ye Fei】

【Number of off-site bettors: 5691】

【Total betting amount: 7675900】

By the door, Zhou Zhengning was still arguing with Zhang Shang:

"Let go! Let Lin Xianxian in!"

The sound of slippers had already reached the door.

Someone was knocking on the door, and the trembling voice of a little girl came through the door:

"Please...please let me in..."

Zhang Shang, who was standing by the door, was frightened by the noise and his voice was trembling:

"No... didn't you hear it, the monster is already at the door, the system said you can't go out!!"

"Lin Xianxian will die!"

Zhang Shang's voice sounded a little broken:

"What does her death have to do with me! It's not me who will die!!!  She's just an NPC. The most important thing is that the players survive!"

Hearing this, Ye Fei laughed lightly. But his laughter was drowned in all kinds of noises, and no one heard it.

Outside the door were the screams of girl and the scolding of women, and inside the door were the quarreling teammates.

Everything was a mess.

In such chaos, Ye Fei lay alone on the bed, humming a folk tune that was quite old-fashioned, and slid the screen back one page.

【Player ranking list (updated in real time)】

Ye Fei raised his eyebrows slightly and scrolled down:

【001-Ye Fei】

【002-Jian Lingxi】

【003...】

He took a quick glance but didn't see any familiar names.

The next second, the girl's scream outside the door stopped abruptly, replaced by the sound of liquid splashing heavily on the door panel.

【Ding-】

The system prompt sounded again.

【Main NPC Lin Xianxian confirmed dead】

Ye Fei subconsciously looked at the electronic clock hanging on the door, and the time on it had indeed stopped.

"March 16, 3035 00:17:38"

【Player game failed】

【NPC forced clearing is in progress】

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure suddenly flew out from the aisle beside Ye Fei.

Zhang Shang was knocked out by the door that suddenly opened. He hit the desk at the other end of the dormitory, fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.

Outside the door, the dormitory aunt in a white nightgown was breathing heavily. She had her back to

the door and her body rose and fell slowly with her breathing.

Perhaps noticing the noise behind her, the dormitory aunt slowly turned her head.

Her head was big and swollen, with curls like a tumor on her head, and her neck was twisted like a knot.

【NPC: Dormitory Aunt (Crazy Version)】

The cold white light outside the door had turned blood red at some point.

The sticky blood slowly spread to the ground inside the door.

A lump of flesh and blood still stuck to the sole of the dormitory aunt's shoe. She shook her legs and kicked the mass of flesh away.

Her pale face was covered with splattered blood, and the corners of her blood-red lips slowly stretched to her ears.

Ye Fei heard a shrill laugh.

“Let me see which bad kids haven’t gone to bed yet.

…

【Ding-】

【NPC clearing completed】

【Bad End】

【The dormitory aunt said she doesn’t like disobedient children】
