Dimensional Store: Welcome to the Apocalypse Apartment - Chapter 265

Chapter 265

The homeroom teacher had a head of brown, coffee-colored ramen curls. Her head was not large, but her body was bloated, especially along both sides of her rib cage, where it bulged so high that even her clothes could not hide it. When she saw the phone in Gu Huaiwei’s hand, her face darkened like a storm cloud.

“Who gave you permission to bring a phone into the teaching building?! Damn it! This year’s students are all useless! Trash! Phone-playing trash like you isn’t worthy of entering my classroom or being my student!”

With that, the homeroom teacher reached out to snatch the phone from Gu Huaiwei’s hand.

Gu Huaiwei held on and did not let go.

She tilted her head up and looked at the homeroom teacher.

The homeroom teacher tugged twice, but failed to pull it free.

“I’m not a student in your class.” Gu Huaiwei pried the homeroom teacher’s fingers open one by one and took back the phone that belonged to her.

The homeroom teacher lowered her head to look at her own deformed fingers.

Then she looked at Gu Huaiwei again.

She seemed somewhat unable to figure out what Gu Huaiwei was.

Just then, the bell for class rang.

Fang Zhao and Bai Yuzhen immediately returned to the classroom and found their seats.

The homeroom teacher also went back to the podium. The circles around her eyes were dark, the whites of her eyes were threaded with blood, and she slammed both hands hard on the lectern. In a hoarse voice, she roared, “Everyone will now take the entrance exam… Kack, kack, kack… Anyone who fails the exam can get out and volunteer at the Infirmary!”

“Teacher, the infectious disease has been really serious lately…”

A student raised his hand in protest.

The next second, the homeroom teacher threw the book in her hand at him. Pages flew loose like blades, slicing away half of the student’s head.

Blood gushed out instantly, staining the exam paper in front of him red.

Half of the student’s head fell off with a thud. His body tipped stiffly to the side and collapsed to the floor, making no more sound.

The classroom sank into a deathly silence. The only sound left was the soft scratching of pen tips moving across paper.

Gu Huaiwei had only walked in because she heard the words “volunteer at the Infirmary.”

By now, there were no other seats left in the classroom.

Gu Huaiwei moved away the corpse of the student whose head had just been sliced apart, then took a cushion out of the Jade Bracelet and sat down in his seat.

Blood had stained the exam paper red, but the inked words on it were still clearly visible.

Gu Huaiwei blew on it a few times, letting the blood seeping across the page dry.

Written on it were several items titled “Medical College Nursing Program Entrance Exam Rules.”

Gu Huaiwei skimmed them briefly.

The general content was that students were not allowed to make corrections on the exam paper with a red pen, exam scores could not be lower than sixty points, students could not hand in their papers early, and so on.

As for the threatening parts afterward, they basically said that the homeroom teacher had the right to deal with students who cheated and could use her pointer to smash a student’s head open. None of that was useful to Gu Huaiwei, so she did not care.

Gu Huaiwei glanced around, then stood up and patted the shoulder of the student beside her. Looking at his drooping eye bags and his blackened, sunken cheeks, she smiled at him in a friendly manner. Then she pulled his exam paper away and handed the dirty one back to him.

The student’s eyes went wide, so wide his eyeballs looked like they might fall out.

He clutched the blood-soaked exam paper, then pressed his face against it in disbelief, his neck bending like a water pipe. The homeroom teacher proctoring from the podium quickly came down, grabbed the student by the neck, and whipped the back of his neck savagely with her pointer until she snapped it.

Clearly, the homeroom teacher’s Anomaly rank was higher than that of the student beside her.

Black fluid oozed from the student’s broken neck. Although only a layer of skin remained connecting his head to his neck, he could still blink and speak.

Soon, people from the Infirmary arrived.

The two responsible for carrying the stretcher were the same two humans who had previously been mixed into the Instance.
They didn’t dare let their eyes wander. Moving briskly, they lifted the Anomaly onto the stretcher and quickly left the classroom.

Gu Huaiwei held the intact exam paper in her hand. While the homeroom teacher had her back turned, she passed it to Fang Zhao, who was completely frazzled and had no idea how to answer the questions, so he and Bai Yuzhen could take turns copying from it.

The pen in Fang Zhao’s hand trembled.

He quickly looked up at Gu Huaiwei, shocked by how brazenly she was cheating. Then he guiltily glanced at the homeroom teacher, who had turned away, and immediately pressed the paper under his own exam sheet, his heart full of gratitude.

Holding her pointer, the homeroom teacher stormed over to Fang Zhao. Her small, pitch-black eyes were fixed tightly on him. The moment he slipped up, she would be able to punish him.

Fang Zhao didn’t dare move.

The rules here said that if the homeroom teacher wanted to punish a student, she had to use the pointer.

So Gu Huaiwei snatched the pointer out of the homeroom teacher’s hand, opened a window in the teaching building, and threw it straight down.

“Kakakaka!” A rapid, eerie sound came from the homeroom teacher’s throat.

Then she jumped straight out the window to go look for the pointer.

The other Anomalies sitting in the classroom instantly became extremely lively.

They leaned together and whispered.

They frantically passed notes and cheat sheets.

Fang Zhao and Bai Yuzhen exchanged a look, then began answering the questions.

Seeing that the situation in the classroom had mostly been handled, Gu Huaiwei followed the two people who had carried the stretcher earlier and walked out of the classroom.

She quickened her pace, wanting to catch up.

Up ahead, the two humans carrying the stretcher were a man and a woman. They sped up at the same pace.

Gu Huaiwei broke into a jog.

The two in front also started jogging.

Gu Huaiwei had no choice but to run after them.

The two humans were carrying the Anomaly with the broken neck, so moving was inconvenient. Seeing Gu Huaiwei stubbornly follow them, they grew extremely nervous.

They didn’t dare meet her eyes. They didn’t dare speak.

They were humans who had lingered in the Instance from the previous round.

Their bodies were already partially contaminated, but the degree of contamination was still relatively low, so for now, they could remain clear-headed.

They knew there was no longer any hope of leaving the Instance, so they only wanted to play their roles properly inside it and survive for one more day if they could.

Anomaly all had fixed routes of movement.

As long as you understood their routes and avoided them, there wasn’t too much danger to your life.

But Gu Huaiwei’s appearance was a complete accident to them.

“You two, I’d like to ask something. Does the Infirmary have any medicine for treating Mist Lung Disease?”

The two said nothing, only continuing forward in silence.

Gu Huaiwei took two Yellow Paper slips worth six months of Lifespan from her pocket, then stuffed one into each of their pockets.

The boy immediately threw the Yellow Paper from his pocket onto the floor. He had clearly made up his mind to ignore Gu Huaiwei.

But the girl carrying the rear of the stretcher lowered her head and glanced at her pocket, then said softly, “You can’t make loud noises in the Corridor. Stay close to me.”

Gu Huaiwei nodded and followed them all the way to the Infirmary.

Many sick students lay inside the Infirmary.

Some were severely contaminated humans, and some were Anomaly.

The Infirmary was lifeless and oppressive.

The girl who had spoken to Gu Huaiwei wore a mask. She turned and entered the Pharmacy beside them, secretly beckoned Gu Huaiwei inside, then locked the Pharmacy door behind them.

“Whew-” The girl let out a long breath, took off the mask on her face, and asked in a low voice, “Are you a Trial-taker this time? You’ve got serious guts. You actually dared to leave the classroom on your own.

“Here’s a quiet warning. In a bit, if the boy carrying the stretcher takes the initiative to talk to you, don’t believe him.

“He’s more contaminated than I am. When his mind isn’t clear, he helps the Anomaly hurt people.”
