God and Devil Farm

Rhys lay listlessly on his desk, earphones plugged in as he listened to the news report, with a small radio tucked away in his drawer. Influenced by his grandfather, Rhys had developed a habit of listening to news broadcasts in his spare time. Professor Ma was passionately teaching the Bible in the lecture hall, gesturing animatedly, but few students were genuinely paying attention. This led Professor Ma to silently lament that the students were beyond redemption. The time was around 2:45 in the afternoon, the start of the first class in the afternoon at LA City Vocational and Technical College, a university that didn't even rank among the third-tier institutions. The class was "Computer Science Class 2," with a total of twenty-seven students. Rhys shifted to a more comfortable position, glanced around, and noticed that his deskmate and best friend, Hawke, was already snoring lightly, drool pooling at the corner of his open mouth, his eyes occasionally rolling back, revealing his many quirks in sleep. Rhys felt a bit more awake and looked around. His dream girl, Finnley, was sitting quietly three seats ahead on the left, attentively following the lecture. Finnley was recognized as the belle of the computer science department, the object of Rhys's and most of the male students' secret crushes and fantasies. From Rhys's position, he could only see the back of Finnley's neck, as white as jade, her skin like precious jade, her casually tied-up hair, exuding an indescribable charm. Rhys swallowed, his drowsiness subsiding. The girl sitting next to Finnley suddenly turned her head and caught Rhys's gaze. She seemed to know what Rhys was looking at and glared at him, her eyes filled with clear hostility. Rhys quickly averted his gaze, feeling somewhat guilty. The girl sitting with Finnley, Elara, shared the same surname with Rhys, and their families lived close to each other. Rhys and Elara had not only the same surname but also similar-sounding names; they had played together since childhood. Coincidentally, they attended the same kindergarten, primary, and secondary schools, and even ended up in the same university class. They could be considered childhood sweethearts, but in reality, they were quite the opposite, often finding each other annoying. Elara's temperament was even more fierce than that of a boy. When Rhys first entered university and encountered Elara, he almost wanted to cry out loud, wondering why he had to meet this unlucky star again. After being glared at by Elara, Rhys lay back down on the desk, dozing off while still listening to the various news reports from his earphones. In fact, Rhys wasn't really sleepy; he just couldn't muster the energy to listen to Professor Ma's lecture, which was far less interesting to him than the news. "...Recently, the frequent occurrence of 'sinkholes' has attracted attention... According to the latest news, at around 10:35 this morning, three consecutive 'sinkholes' suddenly appeared on the north section of People's Road. The largest 'sinkhole' had a diameter of over fifteen meters, and a 'Jinhua Supermarket' was swallowed up by half of the 'sinkhole,' with three people missing. The rescue operation is ongoing, and experts predict..." The news about 'sinkholes' was being broadcasted in his earphones, and these days, there had been news about 'sinkholes' all over the world. These 'sinkholes' appeared without any signs, the most terrifying of which was a super giant 'sinkhole' with a diameter of over one kilometer in the center of a small foreign city, almost swallowing half of the city. The 'sinkhole' incidents have caused panic among many people, and some have even linked them to the 2012 doomsday prophecy. Although experts and professors have come out to refute the rumors, considering them just natural geological phenomena, they cannot suppress this panic. Rhys listened to the news reports on the radio, and although the 'sinkholes' were terrifying, they seemed very distant to Rhys at the moment. He thought more about how to strike up a conversation with Finnley, what to eat for dinner, how many chapters of the fantasy novel he was following would be updated tonight, and when the Dark 3 game would be released... Suddenly, a loud "boom" was heard, followed by a continuous "rumble" from the bottom of the teaching building, and the surroundings shook violently. Those who were sleeping, reading novels, texting girls, or chatting on Twitter... Everyone looked up, some with shocked expressions, and many others still confused. Professor Ma, who was on stage, had his mouth wide open and forgot to close it. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he ran out of the classroom without saying a word, at a speed that was no less than that of a world sprint champion. Rhys hurriedly pulled out his earphones and looked up in amazement. His best friend Hawke, who was sound asleep, was awakened by the shaking and loud noise, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, and said in a daze, "I was just about to touch her thigh, why did it start thundering... Eh, is it getting dark?" The rumbling and shaking only lasted a few seconds before everything returned to normal, but the sky outside had suddenly darkened. "What was that just now? An earthquake?" "It must have been an earthquake, but why is it getting dark, is it going to rain?" The classmates finally woke up from the brief daze of a second or two, stood up one after another, and looked out of the window. Many were curious, and many more still looked frightened. Outside, there was a buzzing noise everywhere, obviously the shaking and loud noise just now had caused a sensation throughout the entire college. "Cough, cough!" A cough came from the door, and Professor Ma, who had fled at the first sign of trouble, came back, his face a bit unnatural, and said, "There might have been an earthquake, just in case, leave the university quickly and go to the playground, do not stay in or stand by the buildings." As soon as Professor Ma finished speaking, he was the first to slip away again. It was a lucky thing that the earthquake a few seconds ago did not cause the teaching building to collapse, in case it comes again, it's uncertain. At this moment, the entire teaching building was noisy, and everyone rushed out of the classroom, squeezing out, wanting to leave the classroom as soon as possible. "What's going on?" Rhys squeezed out to the corridor and looked up at the sky, seeing that it was gloomy, with dark clouds accumulating, and there was an indescribable oppressive atmosphere. It was just clear and sunny a moment ago, how did the sky change after the teaching building shook for a few times? Looking down, he saw that people were constantly running out of each building, forming several streams converging towards the open playground. The school is just in case, let everyone evacuate the building and gather on the playground. There was a noisy crowd everywhere, squeezing people, Rhys was stuck on the third floor corridor, unable to move forward or backward, but in his heart, he was concerned about his best friend Hawke and the dream girl Finnley. "What's this situation? It's the best time to show masculinity, but... where is Finnley?" Rhys thought beautifully, looked around, but couldn't see where Finnley was. As more and more people ran out of the teaching building, the crowd was no longer so crowded, and Rhys regretted not seeing Finnley, missing the opportunity to perform. Just as he was regretting it, suddenly, a scream was heard in the distance. In twenty-one years, Rhys has heard such a shrill scream for the first time in his life, the voice is like a sharp nail, directly drilling into people's heads, souls, making people shudder. Not only Rhys, but everyone who heard this sound, all changed their faces and looked towards the place where the scream came from. Rhys clearly remembered that it was the school gate. This is an unremarkable university, with a small area, only three teaching buildings, two dormitory buildings, as well as a library, canteen, snack bar, playground, etc., the facilities are very poor, and the school gate is not far from the teaching building. Just as he thought about what was there, the second scream of fear followed. Rhys instinctively thought of the two security guards in the gatehouse, and he was standing on the third floor corridor, overlooking, and saw the most unbelievable thing in his life. A group of green-skinned, naked, only about thirteen or four-year-old children's height monsters rushed in from the school gate. Rhys has good eyesight and can see these monsters clearly. They have huge eyes, sunken noses, a bloodthirsty mouth, green all over, holding a wooden stick like a bat in their hands. Rhys couldn't believe his eyes. Around him, everyone was the same as him, staring with wide eyes. At this moment, almost everyone was stunned, and there was a moment of brain short-circuit. First, the teaching building shook and made a "rumbling" sound, a few seconds later, the sky became dark, then there was a scream, and then a group of monsters appeared? All this is not like a dream
