On the Seven Towers

Li Jia is not tall and wears a pair of black-framed glasses. Although he looks ordinary, his skin is very white. He is always neatly dressed and meticulous, and he exudes a gentle temperament inside and out. He is a second-year graduate student at Huaxia University. He just became a freshman counselor this year. He has been busy with the military training students these days and is recognized as a good person by the freshmen.

This morning, Li Jia promised to bring breakfast to his roommate Xiao Chen, and went to the breakfast stall by the school wall as soon as he got up.

But just when Li Jia took the buns, it suddenly became dark, and then the ground shook violently.

Li Jia was unstable and fell down, hitting his head on the bun cart, and he was stunned on the spot. When he finally came to his senses and climbed up with the help of the bench of the snack stall, he found that the bun seller behind the stall looked like he was possessed and stared at the back of him in a daze.

"What the hell..." the uncle muttered, "This is really a ghost in broad daylight."

Li Jia thought that the uncle was probably frightened by the earthquake. He waved his hand in front of his eyes and said, "Are you okay? That should be an earthquake..."

"No! No! Look behind you!" The uncle grabbed his arm and pulled him 180 degrees. Li Jia followed the uncle's line of sight and saw a scene he would never forget.

The road ahead was broken in the middle, leaving only half of the road, and nothing else. The vehicles disappeared, the buildings disappeared, the pedestrians disappeared, and the street scenes at the school gate disappeared, replaced by the mountains in the distance and the plains nearby. The school under their feet seemed to be dug up by an invisible giant hand, and then thrown at the foot of a mountain, becoming an "island" rising from the flat ground.

Through the faint smoke, Li Jia even saw that in the distance, low and dilapidated stone houses were spread out around a bell tower. This was an ancient and lively medieval town.

The two people stood there like sculptures. After a long time, the uncle struggled to spit out a sentence: "This...isn't it an earthquake? How did the whole school shake abroad?"

"Are we encountering something like Bermuda? This, this..." Li Jia walked to the edge of the "island" and found that the whole school was four or five meters above the ground, and it felt like looking down from the third floor.

"Hey, classmate, look, there are people down there!" The uncle had already walked to the edge of the campus island and found that the "cliff" was full of ragged and dusty people standing under it. They were holding hoes and sticks and staring at Li Jia and the two people who appeared above.

"They are not earthlings!" Li Jia couldn't help shouting. Although these people's body proportions and facial features look the same as humans, how can earthlings be born with blue and purple hair?

The uncle said seriously, "Many of them are bleeding, and there seem to be people who have been beaten to death on the ground. This is a battlefield. Don't provoke them, we have to retreat and find people."

Li Jia didn't listen to his words at all, and muttered to himself, "Is this an alien planet? Another world?" He pressed the bump on his head, hiss..., it hurts so much, it's not a dream! He rubbed his eyes hard again, but the scene in front of him was still so unreal, as if he was in a bizarre TV series.

"@#@#￥％..." Suddenly, a burly man with a scar on his face and a machete in his hand shouted loudly. He shouted and drove people towards the school. At first, those people didn't dare to come forward, and they all looked at Li Jia and the others with fear. But Scarface seemed to promise something, nodding and patting his chest, and slowly a few people walked towards the school. Scarface waved the knife and shouted loudly for a while, and more people followed.

"￥\u0026amp;\u0026amp; # ! ￥\u0026amp;\u0026amp; # !" As Scarface shouted, these people started running, rushing to several openings with more collapse and gentle slopes, and began to climb up.

"Hurry up! These guys are coming towards us." The uncle found that the situation was not right, pulled the distraught Li Jia over, ran to his stall, picked up a rolling pin, and then stuffed a kitchen knife into Li Jia's hand.

"What is this?"

"Weapons. Let's go into the school first, close the gate, and then find other people to help. These people have just seen blood, trouble!" said the uncle.

The snack stand was actually some distance away from the school gate. Before Li Jia and the uncle ran to the gate, several people had already climbed up and blocked them. There were also pursuers behind them, rushing towards this side.

"What should I do?" Li Jia looked around worriedly. It took only half a minute for those people to surround them.

"While there are few people here, let's go over there. At worst, we can break into the school."

"I, I can't do that!" Li Jia had never fought since he was a child. Seeing these guys waving sticks and hoes, his legs were weak. But the uncle was very strong. He pulled him up and ran. The two of them ran to the door in a blink of an eye.

At this time, three big men had blocked the way ahead. Both sides were holding weapons and confronting each other. They looked quite nervous. Li Jia was still thinking about whether he could communicate with them, but the other party swung the hoe and steel fork in his hand.

What a good uncle. Facing the attack of the three people, he blocked Li Jia behind him and actually swung the rolling pin to meet him. Li Jia was surprised to find that the uncle's attack was very methodical, and his moves were fast and accurate. After a while, the three opponents were hit hard in the vital parts and fell to the ground wailing.

But this delay caused more people to surround him. The number of people around the uncle increased, and he could no longer take care of Li Jia. Two people, one tall and one short, came towards Li Jia with the intention of picking on the weak.

"Stop! Stop! Don't come over! STOP!" Li Jia pointed a kitchen knife at the two people who were slowly approaching, and kept issuing warnings. However, the two farmer-like guys became excited because they saw Li Jia's nervousness. The tall one hit Li Jia's kitchen knife with a hoe, and the short one hit Li Jia's calf with a hoe.

"Get out! Get out of the way!" Li Jia waved the kitchen knife while retreating, narrowly avoiding the attack on his lower body. He wanted to ask for help, but after seeing the uncle knock down two or three people again, he was surrounded by more people and could not protect himself, and he was forced step by step towards the wall.

"You, you barbarians." Li Jia knew that he had no way out, so he gritted his teeth, waved the kitchen knife wildly and rushed forward, ready to fight. Unexpectedly, he was hooked on the calf by the short man with a hoe after just two steps, and stumbled and fell.

Coincidentally, when he fell, he rushed forward, and the kitchen knife swung wildly and chopped the tall man's neck.

The short man screamed and took a few steps back. The tall man held his throat with his hands, and blood kept flowing out from his fingers.

Li Jia was shocked. He squatted on the ground and watched the tall man slowly soften to the ground. No matter what the short man used to plug his wound, blood still kept oozing out.

"Let's go!" The uncle took advantage of the daze of several people around him, broke through their encirclement, dragged Li Jia up, and ran towards the school gate.

The two fled into the school gate and closed the two large hollow iron doors. But they found that the gate only had a symbolic bolt, and it was estimated that a few hoes could smash the door open.

"Where are the security guards? Why aren't they here? Those people are about to rush over! I, I killed their people." Li Jia looked at the bloody kitchen knife in his hand, his face pale.

"This is the side door, there are not many people leaving, and the security guards are often not here." The uncle glanced at the security room, which was empty, "Classmate, it's OK, let you start with meat."

"I, I am acting in self-defense! Hey! Let's not talk about this, let's run inside quickly! They won't let me go." Li Jia said anxiously, he saw more people climbing up, they were talking to the tall man lying on the ground, and they kept looking at Li Jia with hatred.

"This door can't stop them, we have to stop them."

"Uncle, you sell sesame cakes! Not a special forces soldier! You're just going to die if you act like a hero like this!"

"Special forces soldier? Humph, I didn't say hard fight... We should find something to scare them away." The uncle said.

"You're not crazy, are you? Who is scaring who? I, I'm leaving!" Li Jia turned around and ran, but was stopped by the uncle. He asked, "Listen to me, do they look like people from ancient times? There must be a lot of things they haven't seen before, right?"

"So what?"

"Yes! I remember watching it on TV before. When Europeans first watched a movie, they were scared to death by the train in the movie. Isn't it just ignorance? These people look like bumpkins. Think about it, what can scare them! Classmate, you are a top student from a prestigious university, and your brain should be faster than mine."

After hearing what Lao Chen said, Li Jia calmed down a little: "If you want to scare them, you have to make a lot of noise..."

"Noise..." The two looked at each other and took out their mobile phones at the same time. Li Jia hesitated and said, "Uncle, do you think playing heavy metal rock with this thing can scare them away?"

"I'm afraid of those rock songs! I think it can work!" The uncle shook the one in his hand, "I'll help you with this too. My knockoff phone has nothing else but a loud sound!"

The two saw that the tall man seemed to have died, and the others began to rush over here. They didn't have time to hesitate. They all chose the loudest song and turned up the volume of their phones to the maximum. Suddenly, a deafening song sounded at the entrance of the campus.

"Turn on the phone screen!" The uncle raised his phone and shook it violently at the people who rushed to the door. Li Jia followed suit, waving his phone while shouting loudly. He really had too much frustration to vent today.

The people who rushed to the door were all frightened by the sudden sound. What was more terrifying than the sound was that two people were waving mysterious things that emitted light like crazy.

Is this the legendary magic and spell? Everyone looked terrified and was afraid to move forward.

The uncle rushed forward a few steps, ready to smear his phone in their faces.

" # ￥%@#￥%!!!" Someone shouted, and the people blocking the door immediately scattered and fled back. Some people who were still climbing the slope were frightened by this and rolled down. The people below also shouted loudly. The scarred man shouted a few times, but couldn't stop anyone, and he became nervous. In a short while, everyone, including the scarred man, disappeared without a trace.

The uncle held the phone in one hand and the rolling pin in the other, standing majestically at the school gate until there was no one in his sight, and then he slowly relaxed. Li Jia's throat was almost hoarse, but he still held the phone high, for fear that others would see that he was just a show-off.

"This, did we really scare those people away?" Li Jia asked in a hoarse voice.

"Hush!" The uncle opened the iron gate carefully and walked to the edge of the school island. "Hey, it's all clean. I told you, scaring people to death, these idiots really fell into the trap."

The two of them slowly retreated into the school, locked the school gate again, and walked into the school.
