"Escape from the Horror Campus"

Chapter 3

After an indeterminate period, Chu Tian slowly regained consciousness. The first thing he did upon waking up was not to ponder what had happened, or why he had inexplicably fainted, but to hurriedly feel his chest. When he sensed that the item tucked inside his clothes was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, thank goodness!"

That was the hard-earned money he had toiled for two months, along with all his savings from recent years, totaling fifteen thousand yuan. For Chu Tian, this money was not just his tuition and living expenses; in a sense, it was even more important than his life itself—it was a testament to his independence, witnessing that he could earn a living without relying on his family, and even support his two younger sisters through their schooling.

Therefore, the significance symbolized by this money was far greater than its purchasing power.

After confirming that his money was intact, Chu Tian began to contemplate his current situation, while slowly getting up and surveying his surroundings.

At first glance, everything seemed normal, but upon closer inspection, Chu Tian's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

What did he see?!

He saw many people, countless people.

Of course, many people alone wouldn't have stunned him; after all, the Republic was not lacking in population, and Chu Tian had seen crowds larger than this. But what was strange was that all these people were lying on the ground, unconscious for unknown reasons. They were lying prone or supine, straight or curled up, some even lying on top of each other. This scene resembled a picture he had seen online, where a group of foreigners, in protest against their government's policies, didn't bother to demonstrate but simply lay down in a square to express their dissatisfaction.

The scene before him was beyond imagination compared to the pictures he had seen before!

"What's going on!?"

Chu Tian's usually active brain seemed to falter at this moment.
