Chapter 49: Sha City Art College

Lin Shi remembered what his father had said when he was a child, that decades ago, before electricity was widespread, they used candles and flashlights.

They would go to bed when it got dark and wake up before dawn.

Their lives were all about working, working hard for a meal, and their physical fitness was also very good.

They rarely traveled at night and had no entertainment activities.

There were no internet addicts among them.

Nowadays, humans have become too dependent on electronic products, and there are countless people addicted to the internet and mobile phones, which has led to a decline in the physical fitness of most people.

This solar storm destroyed electronic products and set human technology back hundreds of years, forcing humans to quit internet addiction.

And the arrival of extreme cold...

The arrival of extreme cold has made survivors increasingly value physical exercise.

A flash of lightning suddenly passed through Lin Shi's mind, and a thought flashed by too quickly to grasp.

The third restart...

Accelerate evolution...

While Lin Shi was lost in thought, two girls behind him complained about the power outage and then shifted their conversation to Lin Shi.

"Lin Shi, you're so handsome, do you have a girlfriend?"

Seeing Lin Shi not speaking, Li Xiaoxiao stepped forward, preparing to pat Lin Shi's shoulder from behind.

Lin Shi, lost in thought, grabbed Li Xiaoxiao's hand that was reaching out, and was surprised at his current reaction speed.

"Ah! It hurts!"

Li Xiaoxiao cried out in pain.

Seeing Li Wei looking back, Lin Shi let go of her hand, and a fake apologetic smile appeared on his face:

"I'm sorry, I was thinking just now."

The two were very close, and Li Xiaoxiao's eyes scanned back and forth on Lin Shi's face.

Lin Shi didn't look like his parents.

His father's facial features were ordinary, and his mother's were too soft.

Lin Shi's face was more three-dimensional, as if carved out by the most precise knife, with deep eyebrows and eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly thin lips.

However, there was a one-centimeter scar on the brow bone, which ruined this perfection.

This scar has been with Lin Shi since he can remember, and his father said it was from falling out of the crib when he was a child.

His once clear eyes gave Lin Shi's face a somewhat gentle look.

Now, Lin Shi's eyes are only cold and indifferent, giving off a vibe that keeps strangers away when he doesn't smile.

The sense of incongruity that Wang Chao noticed was actually that Lin Shi's eyes were not something a normal 19-year-old could have.

Expressions can be disguised, but eyes are difficult.

Li Xiaoxiao, who was obviously more carefree, rubbed her wrist:

"Forget it, I forgive you for being handsome.

I just asked if you have a girlfriend!"

Lin Shi replied directly: "No."

Hearing that Lin Shi didn't have a girlfriend, Li Xiaoxiao's eyes curved into a crescent shape.

"Then you..."

Xu Qin stepped forward to stop Li Xiaoxiao from being infatuated:

"Xiaoxiao, what's the time now? Don't make a fuss, we need to hurry back, it's getting dark."

Seeing Li Xiaoxiao being infatuated with Lin Shi, Xu Qin felt like her own things were being targeted.

Li Xiaoxiao curled her lips at a place where Xu Qin couldn't see.

Lin Shi didn't care about the thoughts of the two girls at all.

The end of the world has come, and surviving is already difficult.

Naturally, Lin Shi has no thoughts about love.

After all, the one who can hurt you the most is often the one you trust the most.

Li Wei glanced at the sky and urged:

"Hurry up and walk."

After walking for half an hour, the sky got darker, and the rain had stopped.

The temperature around was lower than in the afternoon.

Lin Shi took off his raincoat and felt that the temperature at this time was at least 5 degrees lower than when he came out at noon.

Both Xu Qin and Li Xiaoxiao were wearing cool short sleeves and shorts, and at this moment, they were hugging each other for warmth.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at the long-sleeved coat on Lin Shi and whispered to Xu Qin's ear:

"Xu Qin, aren't you quite familiar with this guy? Ask him to lend us his coat to wear."

Even if Li Xiaoxiao didn't say it, Xu Qin was also about to speak up.

With her charm, getting a guy to lend her his coat was a piece of cake.

Especially Lin Shi, who had a bit of a crush on her in high school and followed her to Sha City.

That's right, Xu Qin had already assumed that Lin Shi came to Sha City for her.

Confidently, Xu Qin said:

"Lin Shi, could you lend me your coat to wear?"

Lin Shi refused outright: "No way." He wouldn't take the risk of catching a cold for a woman who had nothing to do with him.

The smile on Xu Qin's face froze.

Li Xiaoxiao glanced at Xu Qin's embarrassed expression, not showing it on her face, but a hint of schadenfreude flashed through her heart.

It turned out that even the beautiful Xu could fail sometimes.

"How can you have no gentlemanly demeanor at all?" Xu Qin was somewhat angry and embarrassed.

Lin Shi didn't even turn his head: "Gentlemanly demeanor? Can it be eaten?"

"Pssh!" Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

But soon, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't laugh anymore.

Because it was too dark, she didn't know what she stepped on and tripped and fell to the ground.

"Ah!!" Li Xiaoxiao screamed.

Seeing this, Li Wei took out a flashlight from the bag he had been carrying on his back and turned it on.

Li Xiaoxiao fell into the dirty muddy water, so angry that she screamed loudly:

"Why didn't you take out the flashlight earlier!"

Li Wei explained: "There are very few flashlights and batteries that can still be used in the army, and they must be used sparingly."

Flashlights and batteries have now become extremely precious supplies.

Li Xiaoxiao was so angry that her chest heaved, but she didn't dare to do anything to the soldier.

Half of her body was soaked in muddy water, and she felt colder when she stood up, shivering with her arms wrapped around her.

Li Xiaoxiao approached Lin Shi with a grievance and pitiful expression on her face.

"No way." Lin Shi knew what she was going to say and refused decisively.

Li Xiaoxiao was furious:

"How can you be like this! Are you still a man!"

However, no matter what she said, Lin Shi remained unmoved.

When the four of them arrived at the entrance of Sha City Art College, it was already completely dark, and they could hardly see their hands in front of their faces.

The school's automatic gate was broken and locked at the moment.

The four of them went to the security room and knocked on the glass.

The security guard in the security room saw Li Wei, who was dressed in military attire, and after asking a few questions, he learned that they were sending three students back to school and let them enter through the small door.

"Young man, do you have any more flashlights? I can't see anything here in the dark."

The security guard stared at the flashlight in Li Wei's hand and asked.

"I'm sorry, I only have one flashlight.

The army will distribute lighting supplies in the next few days."

Hearing Li Wei say this, the security guard didn't insist and sighed, nodding his head.

"I don't know when the electricity will be fixed, you guys go in."

The campus at night was pitch black and silent.

Under the guidance of Xu Qin and Li Xiaoxiao, the four of them first headed towards the girls' dormitory.

On the way, Lin Shi suddenly stopped.

"What are you doing?!"

Li Xiaoxiao now looked at Lin Shi with no good temper at all.

So what if he was handsome, his personality was so annoying!

"Shut up!"

Lin Shi shouted in a low voice, listening intently to the sounds around him.

A faint rustling sound came to his ears, seemingly getting closer and closer.

"Where is the nearest building?!"

Lin Shi turned his head and looked at Xu Qin and Li Xiaoxiao, his voice a little urgent.
