Chapter 6

Chen Yu has absolutely no acting skills.

Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Of course I'll go down. I was just thinking that searching one place together is too slow."

"?"

Li Mengyao frowned: "What do you mean?"

Chen Yu chuckled: "I think we should search in groups, for example, by seating arrangement. I'll be in one group with the class representative, you and Wang Mengmeng will be in another, and couples will be in yet another group."

"I object!"

Wang Mengmeng was the first to stand up and object: "Why are you two strong boys assigned to other groups, but we two girls are put in the same group!"

Li Mengyao also stood up: "Exactly! You can't...you can't be so petty just because we broke up. We're still classmates!"

Zhang Zihao and Deng Yuxin didn't care.

Zhang Wanyue also spoke up in a low voice: "Chen Yu, it is indeed more dangerous for two girls."

Chen Yu stroked his chin and said with a hint of pity, "Then, you two can go with Zhang Zihao."

"What?"

Li Mengyao and Wang Mengmeng were a little confused.

That doesn't make sense.

Even though they are both girls, they are still an asset. Why does Chen Yu dislike them so much?

or...

He simply didn't want to be on the same team as Zhang Zihao and Deng Yuxin.

But why?

Chen Yu nodded: "Now every team has a boy, are you satisfied? Go search for things."

Done.

Chen Yu was about to turn around.

Just before turning around, his eyes caught sight of Zhang Zihao.

That was the look of someone staring at a dead person.

It's as if they know something but want to hide it, though they haven't managed to hide it perfectly.

Zhang Zihao was taken aback by that look, then flew into a rage.

"Chen Yu, what the hell is wrong with your eyes?"

"Explain yourself clearly!"

But Chen Yu had already turned around, leaving him with only his back view. "It's just group work, what's the point? I hope everyone gains something from it, and keep living."

The last few words sounded calm and uneventful.

But for some reason, Zhang Zihao, Deng Yuxin, and even Li Mengyao and Wang Mengmeng felt a sudden unease.

After all, everyone knows that.

Chen Yu...

It is possible to predict the future.

Zhang Wanyue watched Chen Yu's departing figure, then glanced at Zhang Zihao and the others, whose faces were grim.

She said solemnly, "Don't worry too much. It's normal for Chen Yu to be quiet and not good at choosing words. I'll talk to him about it later and tell him to avoid using ambiguous words."

She then quickly caught up with Chen Yu.

"Playing tricks!"

Wang Mengmeng spat, "Mengyao, don't be afraid of him! He's just being mysterious and trying to scare us!"

Li Mengyao nodded reluctantly, a hint of unease creeping into her eyes.

Zhang Zihao took a deep breath, suppressing his discomfort: "Let's go find supplies!"

But he had only just taken his first step.

However, they discovered that three girls, including Deng Yuxin, were still standing in the same spot.

Nobody followed...

"?"

Zhang Zihao's face turned ashen: "What do you mean?"

Li Mengyao bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "I think...why don't we go back and ask Chen Yu? He seems to really know something..."

Wang Mengmeng still maintained a facade of disdain, but the panic in her eyes betrayed her.

Zhang Zihao took a deep breath.

A surge of anger, a feeling of being belittled and betrayed, rushed to his head!

He is the one with true fighting talent!

He's the kind of guy who should be relied on!

What makes Chen Yu, that guy who only knows how to pretend to be a ghost, so special?!

He looked at his girlfriend, Deng Yuxin, and said directly, "Yuxin, ignore them, let's go!"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Deng Yuxin's wrist.

But Deng Yuxin suddenly took a step back.

Zhang Zihao froze on the spot: "Are you kidding me, Yuxin? You don't also think that I... I would..."

Deng Yuxin stepped forward and grabbed his arm tightly: "Zihao, let's go find Chen Yu. We don't necessarily have to ask him, but following the direction he went is better than wandering around blindly..."

She continued, "We're classmates. Even if he knew something, he couldn't just stand by and watch someone die!"

Zhang Zihao's face darkened, and he shook off her hand: "Yuxin, you also think I'll die, don't you? You'd rather believe another man than your own boyfriend?!"

"I..."

Deng Yuxin was speechless with grievances.

But the look in Chen Yu's eyes just now was something that couldn't be faked.

We're all from the acting class.

Everyone knows each other's acting skills and level.

Chen Yu has absolutely no acting skills.

That look in his eyes just now clearly showed that he was certain Zhang Zihao would die!

...

...

The other side.

Chen Yu stopped beside the main road of the residential area.

The streets were deserted, with cracked cement pavement and withered roadside trees on both sides.

Several residential buildings stood silently, shrouded in a strange stillness.

He has been reborn twice, but he still doesn't know it.

On the road to survival... how exactly do these seemingly random stations work?

Is it a high-dimensional projection? Or a fragment of spacetime?

Or are they creations governed by rules that are still incomprehensible?

But undeniably, although the place is deserted, it is full of extremely real traces of survival.

Whether it's a clothesline, a half-dried potted plant, slippers casually placed by the door, or children's graffiti...

It's so real it's chilling.

But at the same time, it cannot be real.

"Chen Yu? What are you looking at?"

Zhang Wanyue leaned over and waved her hand, "Are you mesmerized?"

Chen Yu snapped out of his daze and smiled faintly: "It's alright. Let's empty the supermarket first, and then we can consider the apartments in the residential buildings. Everything has to be done in order."

Zhang Wanyue nodded: "That's what I thought too..."

She pointed to a nearby shop: "That's a convenience store. Let's go check it out!"

The two stood one in front of the other.

We arrived at the entrance of a supermarket with a faded sign.

The glass door was locked from the outside by a heavy iron chain and a huge black padlock.

"Locked..."

Zhang Wanyue shook the doorknob and looked at Chen Yu: "What should we do?"

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, examined it for a while, and then slowly said, "Yuma cross-shaped core, a common model, has some anti-pry properties, but it is not difficult for professionals to pry it open."

Zhang Wanyue was taken aback: "No, I didn't say we should pick the lock. I meant, should we break the glass?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "No, although this site is marked as temporarily safe, we can't let our guard down. If a sound attracts something, it will be bad."

Zhang Wanyue thought Chen Yu's words made sense.

She stroked her chin: "We can't break the glass, and there are no professionals..."

"It's not that it doesn't exist."

Chen Yu held out his hand, palm up: "I'm a professional, give me the card."

Zhang Wanyue froze, instinctively raising her hand to touch her hair: "You...can pick locks?"

Chen Yu didn't explain, but simply kept his palms outstretched, waiting.

Although Zhang Wanyue couldn't believe it, she still hesitated before taking off a hair clip and placing it in his palm.

The hair clip also carried a slightly warm and faint fragrance.

Chen Yu took the hair clip, twisted it between his fingertips, and easily broke it off.

One section is folded up, and the other section is bent into a small hook at the end.

The whole set of actions flows smoothly.

Having experienced so many stations in my past life, everyone who is human has learned how to pick all kinds of locks.

This is a required course.

Chen Yu squatted down, and less than ten seconds later, there was a "click" sound.

The padlock sprang up with a click.
