At this time, it was already late at night, and most of the dormitories had already fallen asleep or entered the lights-out state.

Therefore, the loud voice of the hot-tempered male student was extremely penetrating in the dark night, and several dormitories in the neighboring building turned on their lights because of it.

If even the alumni around were like this, let alone the roommates in the same dormitory.

With the loud roar of the hot-tempered male student, Chang Licheng and his roommate were completely awakened.

Chang Licheng rubbed his eyes and yawned, asking, "Lei Ang, what's going on? What cockroach corridor..."

As he spoke, Chang Licheng paused slightly, realizing something as he heard Lei Ang's words clearly. He said, "Oh, I understand. It's the effect of Xu Shen's cockroach medicine, right? Are there dead cockroaches? Look at you, you're scared by a few cockroaches like this. Are you worthy of your ancestors from Liangshan?"

Lei Ang's face showed a somewhat strange expression when he heard this. He said, "Class monitor, don't mention Water Margin. Even if Sun Wukong from Journey to the West comes, he won't be able to do anything. Do you know what's happening outside?"

Before Chang Licheng could reply, Lei Ang gestured with his hands, indicating the width of the corridor, and pointed to the corner of the dormitory. He said, "The three-meter-wide corridor, both sides near the wall, are full of cockroaches! From room 401 to at least 420, they are lined up like marching ants. Just imagine this scene!"

Chang Licheng was first stunned, and then he subconsciously wanted to refute. After all, this scene was really challenging his worldview. He said, "Wait a minute, if that's the case, let me ask you, when our dormitory door is closed, there are no gaps at the bottom, so cockroaches can't come in, I can understand that. But what about the few seconds when you open the door? Don't these things crawl in as soon as they see a gap? If, as you said, the corridor edges are all cockroaches, then wouldn't dozens of them run in during that short time?"

Lei Ang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but quickly realized that he couldn't explain Chang Licheng's doubts. He could only stammer, "But they are indeed all cockroaches, at least several thousand..."

"Class monitor, what Old Lei said seems to be true."

Just as Chang Licheng was about to say something else, Fu Ming, who was beside him, suddenly interrupted. He raised his phone, and the main interface was the professional group:

"Take a look at your phone. Everyone in the group is talking about this."

Chang Licheng quickly took out his phone.

As Fu Ming said, at this moment, this small professional group with only dozens of people was being flooded with messages at a high frequency.

There were also a few video clips flashing by, and almost every word mentioned cockroaches.

[Chen Xingyu]: "What the f*ck, what is this thing outside? Biohazard????"

[Hu Qing]: "Don't open the door, you'll bear the consequences if you do!!!!!!"

[Gao Yang]: "I'm so stupid. We slept late in our dormitory, and it took the cockroach swarm five minutes to realize something was wrong..."

[Chen Xingyu]: "Do you have it as bad as me? I just went out to take out the trash, but the light at the door was broken. I walked a few steps before realizing something was off. Can you imagine the feeling of thousands of cockroaches crawling over your slippers? Now my roommates are forcing me to wash my feet with laundry detergent..."

As he spoke, Chen Xingyu suddenly sent a video: "This is what I filmed when I returned to the dormitory. Those who believe can watch it, and those who don't believe are welcome to open the door and verify it ♪(´∪`●)ゝ"

[Jiang Biguo]: "...So why did you still have the mind to film a video?"

[Chen Xingyu]: "[Complicated mood expression], I was already dirty at that time, so it didn't matter...-=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ﾍ(´Д`)ﾉ"

Chang Licheng first let out a sigh, and then curiously clicked on Chen Xingyu's video.

The video was very short, less than ten seconds, but the scene was quite shocking:

The phone was placed at the height of an adult man's neck. Although the view was somewhat dim due to a malfunctioning street lamp, with the help of the light from a distant lamp, one could see that there were densely packed cockroaches constantly rushing out of the stairwell, crazily heading towards the middle of the floor where the garbage pile was.

The movement of these cockroaches was only on the walls or the ground. Even if they passed by dormitories with open doors, they did not turn inside.

Of course.

Not all the cockroaches were rushing towards the garbage pile.

Some of them ran out of the open dormitories, perhaps because they were affected by the cockroach medicine inside, and attracted many of their kind to engage in certain activities on the way.

As the saying goes.

When there are a thousand soldiers, there is no border; when there are ten thousand soldiers, there is no boundary. When there are more than ten thousand people, there is no end.

This proverb could also be applied to the cockroaches at this moment. Therefore, it was difficult to estimate how many cockroaches there were just by watching the video.

With the video evidence in front of him, combined with the strange screams outside, Chang Licheng was already 90% convinced in his heart.

The remaining two percent, rather than saying he didn't believe it, it was more like the rigor of a science student—after all, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Just as Chang Licheng was watching the video, Fu Ming suddenly noticed something.

He exclaimed, "Oh my god, class monitor, look at the balcony!"

Chang Licheng exclaimed and looked over.

At this moment, there were more than ten cockroaches gathered on the ground of the dormitory balcony, layer upon layer, as if they were doing something like stacking a human pyramid.Looking at the cockroach with its wings raised high in obvious arousal, Chang Licheng suddenly understood some of the instructions Xu Yun had given him:

Close the doors and windows of the balcony before going to bed, put away clothes as early as possible, apply the bait as much as possible on the cockroach droppings near the balcony, and avoid applying it inside the dormitory...

"Right, Xu Yun!"

After the name Xu Yun popped up in his mind, Chang Licheng finally remembered this "mastermind".

He didn't care that it was late, and immediately dialed Xu Yun's number.

A moment later, Xu Yun's voice came from the receiver:

"Hello, Licheng? Why are you still awake so late?"

"It's me, Xu Yun, what are you doing?"

"I'm writing a paper, what's up?"

"Well, the cockroach medicine you gave seems to be working..."

"Oh, that's good news. When you wake up, you should see quite a few cockroach corpses."

Gulp.

Chang Licheng swallowed hard and said:

"Xu Yun, it seems we don't need to wait until we wake up. Now... um, let me tell you, the entire corridor is full of cockroaches, if not tens of thousands, then at least several thousand."

Hearing this, Xu Yun, who was still rushing to finish his paper, was taken aback and put down his pen:

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the entire corridor, starting from the stair entrance, cockroaches are marching in line like ants..."

At his desk, Xu Yun's eyes grew wider as he listened.

"...Wait, let me ask you, how much bait did you guys put out?"

Chang Licheng was silent for a few seconds:

"Xu Yun, you only told me the amount to use on the dormitory balcony, not how much to apply in public areas.

At that time, Old Ye saw a pile of black cockroach droppings by the trash can, which was many times the amount in the dormitory. He thought that a grain-sized amount might not be enough, and we read on Wikipedia that the potency of the insecticide might have developed resistance, so we squeezed out a bit more..."

Listening to Chang Licheng's halting words, Xu Yun suddenly had a bad feeling.

Considering the inconvenience of the journey from the East District dormitory and the possibility of needing to repeat the experiment multiple times at multiple locations, Xu Yun had deliberately given Chang Licheng extra bait - after all, this stuff wasn't lethal to humans and couldn't be sold for money, and it wasn't difficult to store:

"I gave you two 150ml large syringes, how much did you two use?"

"....Um, we applied all of it, covering half a wall..."

"...What the hell??!!"

......

Meanwhile, as Xu Yun was on the phone with Chang Licheng.

Fu Ming, on the side, was looking at the constant stream of comments urging for updates, feeling somewhat troubled:

"I really can't be blamed for what happened today..."

As he was thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He quickly scrolled up the group chat, found the video Chen Xingyu had shot earlier, saved it, and sent it out through the 'Easter Egg Chapter' feature on Qidian:

"You might not believe it, but I was scared silly by cockroaches today..."
