As night fell, Du Jiujiu, An Cheng, and Hu Xiaoyun finished washing and lay on the bed.

After a while, Hu Xiaoyun asked gently: "Are you asleep?"

"Not yet." Both men replied at the same time.

Suddenly encountering such a change, it is not easy for these girls who have never experienced hardship to calm down.

"I wonder how my parents are doing now, are they worried about me, are they...still alive..." Hu Xiaoyun's voice was very low.

"We have to believe in them, and we have to work hard to become stronger ourselves, and then we can go find them." An Cheng comforted Hu Xiaoyun, but thinking about himself, he sighed again: "My parents are both abroad. If we want to meet again, it will probably be a long time."

It’s very difficult.”

"My home is in nearby L city, but it's difficult to go back... Jiujiu, where are you?" Hu Xiaoyun asked Du Jiujiu.

"My parents... they have passed away." There was a sadness that could not be concealed in Du Jiujiu's voice.

"Sorry! I didn't know..."

"It's okay, senior. It's been a long time and I'm used to it. Besides, I'm probably lucky that I haven't experienced such a terrible thing until now."

"Jiujiu, don't call me senior. You and An Cheng should both call me Xiaoyun. The world has changed now. We must work together and live well."

"Okay, we will definitely survive together!"

The clock on the wall kept clicking.

Du Jiujiu fell asleep at some point, and the scenes during the day seemed to have been shattered and kneaded together again, weaving into her nightmare.

In the haze, Du Jiujiu could no longer distinguish between dreams and reality. The mutated hamster screamed and pounced on her. She wanted to dodge, but was tightly entangled by the strange red vines and couldn't move. Her arm was bitten by the hamster, and she screamed.

She screamed loudly in severe pain, but no one came to save her.

At this time, a thin figure walked out from behind the door, the skin all over his body was ulcerated, and he staggered towards her.

Du Jiujiu saw her face clearly, it was the sick girl in the bedroom on the second floor.

"Why! Why didn't you come to save me! My death was so painful!"

The ulcerated face magnified infinitely in Du Jiujiu's eyes, and he came close to her.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...but I can't save you!" Du Jiujiu kept mumbling with tears on her face.

"Jiujiu, Jiujiu! What's wrong with you!"

A familiar voice sounded in Du Jiujiu's ears, but she couldn't open her eyes.

"She has a fever and her forehead is very hot."

In the haze, it seemed like someone was touching her forehead. It was cool and comfortable.

"I have fever-reducing medicine, I'll go find it!"

"How come you were fine during the day and suddenly got a fever?"

"Jiujiu, Jiujiu, wake up quickly and take medicine!"

Du Jiujiu felt someone shaking her and something cold around her mouth.

She struggled to open her eyes, and in the dim light of a desk lamp, she could see Hu Xiaoyun and An Cheng looking at her anxiously.

"I...how..." Du Jiujiu wanted to speak, but found that her voice was extremely hoarse.

"You have a fever and have been talking in your sleep. Come on, take the antipyretic medicine first."

Du Jiujiu opened her mouth slightly and took the medicine handed over by Hu Xiaoyun. The cool water flowed down her throat and she felt much better.

"Ah!" She wanted to get up, but as soon as she tried hard, she felt a heartbreaking pain in her arm.

"Jiujiu, your arm!" Hu Xiaoyun followed Du Jiujiu's gaze and found that the gauze bandaging her arm had been soaked in dark blood.

"Jiujiu must have been poisoned." An Cheng picked up the lamp and moved closer to Du Jiujiu's arm.

"Sister Xiaoyun, help me find a pair of scissors."

An Cheng took a pair of hand scissors that Hu Xiaoyun found and carefully cut the gauze wrapped around Du Jiujiu's arm.

Seeing the situation under the gauze, the three of them couldn't help but gasp.

Under the dim light, Du Jiujiu's forearm had turned an abnormal blue-black color, and the wound was oozing with black blood mixed with pus.

"Jiujiu, how could this happen!?" Hu Xiaoyun suddenly panicked, hurriedly picked up the phone, pressed the number, suddenly thought of something, and put the phone down with a sad expression.

"We can't contact the hospital now, and we don't have antidote, what should we do?!" Hu Xiaoyun was so anxious that tears flowed out.

"It's okay...Sister Xiaoyun...don't cry, I...I'll sleep for a while...I'll be fine..." Du Jiujiu tried to cheer up, but there was still deep exhaustion in her voice.

"Jiujiu, don't sleep, hold on!" Hu Xiaoyun held Du Jiujiu's hand tightly.

"Sister Xiaoyun, let her sleep. Only by having a good rest can she have the strength to recover. She can't wake up even if she falls asleep. It's all a lie." An Cheng patted Hu Xiaoyun's shoulder and consoled her.

An Cheng picked up the desk lamp, rummaged through the bag of medicines for a while, took out a box of penicillin, crushed the pills and applied them to Du Jiujiu's wound.

"I don't know if this will have any effect. Jiujiu, you have a good rest and you must hold on. This may be the end of the world, but it is definitely not the end of us. No matter what, we must live together!"

Du Jiujiu looked at An Cheng's firm eyes and nodded hard.

At this moment, there was a sudden banging sound on the window.

"Bump! Bump!" Once, twice...

Hu Xiaoyun was startled, and then turned to look at the desk lamp in An Cheng's hand. Things outside the window must have been attracted by the faint light.

"An Cheng, turn off the lights quickly!" Hu Xiaoyun called out hastily.

With a "pop" sound, the desk lamp was turned off, and darkness returned to the bedroom.

The creature outside the window was still banging against the window, and the three of them didn't dare to make a sound, their hearts clenched tightly with the sound of the impact.

After a while, the crashing sound slowly stopped, and their tense nerves relaxed slightly.

At Du Jiujiu's insistence, both Hu Xiaoyun and An Cheng returned to their respective beds.

However, they could not fall asleep for a long time. The darkness was like a giant beast, staring at them closely, as if it would be swallowed once they fell asleep.
