Girls' Dormitory Escape - Chapter 20

 Chapter 20: Four Seasons Protection Guide (7)

    "Strictly speaking, the water in the toilet and the water in the sink faucet come from the same water supply pipe."

    In the strange silence, Zhang You was the first to speak.

    She looked serious and judged with the eyes of a logistics personnel: " If the water provided by this toilet is of the same nature as the toilet plunger, then we can also save water for the day. From another point of view, the toilet plunger is essentially the ability of the mind, so the water created by the ability may also be drinking water with higher purity."

    In short, no matter how you analyze it, the water from the toilet plunger had high utilization value.

    After a while, the others weakly agreed: "Yes, it makes sense..."

    But, when they think of the water coming from the toilet plunger, including Tang Xinjue, even if they can overcome psychological obstacles, they can't help but feel a sense of strangeness. Who would have thought that there is not only an ability in the world called 'toilet plunger', but one of its important functions is to provide daily water?

    … After taking a detailed count (of their assets), everyone was relieved to find that the drinking water in the dormitory is enough for four people to drink for about five days under normal circumstances.

    On the day the game came, the three of them happened to go to the supermarket to purchase a large amount of supplies, including two large bags, four or five kinds of fruits.

    Apples, oranges, grapefruit, red grapes... Thinking of the full water in it, several people were all overwhelmed and couldn't help but swallowing.

    "Fruits at high temperature are very perishable, we'd better eat them first." Tang Xinjue took out an orange and peeled it and began to eat it. The thin pulp in the fruit effectively relieved their dry mouths.

    After eating fruit for breakfast, the temperature had risen to 40 degrees. Before it was too hot to act, a few people quickly searched the dormitory from the inside out according to the experience of the previous "season", but there was still only one radio that could no longer be tuned to any channel.

    Can they survive this time?

    Tang Xinjue took out a water basin and kept spraying water into it with the toilet plunger. It quickly filled up the whole basin, and then put the temperature gauge in it, and the temperature was 25 degrees.

    "Theoretically, as long as the toilet plunger is not broken, we will always have room temperature water to use."

    Even if the indoor temperature was too high, she could directly fill the room with water to cool down.

    Simple and crude, but works wonders.

    Throwing the phantom's limb still hanging inside the ice into the water to keep them fresh, Tang Xinjue began to pour water into all the water basins in the dormitory one by one.

    In reality, the city they live in is located in the south-central part of the country, and although the summer was not very humid, it was by no means dry.

    However, at this moment, as time passed by, the moisture in the air seemed to be drained by the high temperature. Everyone felt an unbearable dryness, and the desire for water had been amplified to an unprecedented height.

    Guo Guo sat beside the water basin and said, "I was wrong, I'll never complain about our school getting wet in summer."

    Compared to being dry enough to burst, what's the matter of getting wet!

    "This is just the beginning, we just feel uncomfortable today."

    Tang Xinjue changed into fresh clothes and began to eat red grapes. Though she was in such an extreme environment, she looked like a suave, fragile little girl. Even with roommates who were with her day and night, it was often difficult to associate her with the brutal demeanor of tearing monsters by hand.

    "You're right." Zheng Wanqing jumped to her feet, "We can't just admit defeat now. Isn't it just hot, what the high school teacher said, calm down and it will naturally cool! We must give ourselves positive psychological hints, so that we can improve our physical endurance."

    After half an hour, Zheng Wanqing actively hinted that she couldn't go any further. The sweaty skin seemed to have just been pulled out of the water, and the skin that didn't sweat was surprisingly dry and cracked.

    "Give it to me, gulp." She reached out weakly and grabbed the last sip of water from the water dispenser with Guo Guo.

    At 11 noon, the indoor temperature rose to 48 degrees.

    "It is said that in some cities, the highest temperature in summer can reach more than 40 degrees, or even nearly 50 degrees. Eggs can be fried directly when they are knocked on the road." They laid still like corpses, muttering to herself in the steamy steam-like air.

    Guo Guo's eyes were blank: "Look, do we look like eggs that are about to be fried?"

    Tang Xinjue chuckled, her eyes kept on the [Dorm Member Status] interface of the APP. It finally flickered slightly at this time, and said: "Our health value has changed."

    Guo Guo burst into tears: "Uuuuu, you don't need to look to know, just got frostbite, and immediately burned, and now the injury must be getting worse..."

    "No, it has improved."

    "Uuu... hic?" Her roommates sat up in shock from their dying illnesses: "What??!"

    After seeing their respective physical information, only a few people confirmed that the health value not only improved, but also increased a few.

    [Frostbite] negative state had disappeared, and no new negative state had appeared yet. In addition, within a few hours, according to the slow recovery of their physique, their health values ​​have left the alarming yellow zone and touched the edge of the green line.

    After all, compared with the extremely aggressive cold, as long as the high temperature is not so high that it burns the skin in an instant, they can still hold on with water.

    "If I guessed correctly, the hardest thing this season is not the heat, but the lack of water."

    Tang Xinjue smiled slightly.

    Unexpectedly, in the face of the new function of the toilet plunger, this extreme dilemma had become ineffective.

    Extremely hot condition, it just happened to be a buffer stage for them to breathe and rest.

    At 3pm, the temperature rose to 54 degrees.

    "Jue Shen! I need your toilet plunger!"

*In case you forget, Jue shen, God Jue, Guo Guo's nickname for Tang Xinjue since she's so awesome and godly

    "Don't listen to Guo Guo's nonsense, my hand is cracked, give it to me first!"

    The four roommates had already built up and accepted the toilet plunger water without pressure. When they want to use it now, it seemed that they were using the rubber head that used to beat the ghosts as an instant tap.

    The most important thing was that no matter how high the ambient temperature is, the water it emits is always maintained at 25 degrees, and when it is poured on the surface of the skin, it felt like a god-like cooling plug-in.

    As for the 10 Frozen Talismans prepared by Tang Xinjue, the first one was not used until it was 60 degrees above zero.

    "Crack!"

    Ignoring the extremely high temperature that seemed to melt everything, the few remaining bottles of bottled water instantly froze, and even everything within a square meter nearby was covered with a thick layer of frost.

    Resurrected. There was only that one thought in the minds of the four.

    Putting on the thin shirt that had been frozen, although the cold and residual temperature can only last for less than half an hour, it was enough to stay up until the night.

    ...

    [Heat Stroke: the heat makes your body function disorderly]

    [Baking Burn: the high temperature causes blisters on your skin]

    [Chaps: when your skin starts to crack, there should be no wounds on it]

    At night, one by one, the negative states started to appear quietly, indicating that the human body has entered the limit of the load.

    "Jue Shen, you say, when we wake up tomorrow morning, will we successfully clear the dungeon, or will we be roasted to death because we didn't replenish water in time..." Her roommate's hoarse voice was weak.

    Tang Xinjue lifted her hand and sprayed a sip of water into the air. The water droplets fell on several people like rain, and evaporated on the surface of the skin.

    "Go to sleep, the threshold will be reached soon." Under the balance rule, it was impossible for the test to raise the temperature to a degree such as the boiling point that ordinary people cannot survive at all.

    With a high probability, it will stop growing before 80 degrees, or... just end.

    As Tang Xinjue had expected, at ten o'clock sharp, the temperature detection meter suddenly stopped, and the pointer began to slowly move down from the blazing high temperature!

    [Ding dong, the heating has been controlled, and the temperature has been successfully adjusted. From now on, the temperature will become a comfortable normal temperature state, and spring is coming~]

    The prompt sound made the people who were already confused suddenly wake up and turned their heads to look around. The ambient temperature has indeed dropped suddenly, their pain had been greatly relieved, and the feeling was similar to returning to the world.

    "Hey, I can finally get a good night's sleep..." Guo Guo sighed, slumped on the table, and almost jumped up in fright at the sudden notification sound the next second.

    [Spring is the season for the recovery of all things—]

    The exam reminders flashed away, leaving no other information. It's baffling.

    Tang Xinjue carefully scrutinized the information on the APP's exam interface. The place above about the winter and summer seasons was empty. Only in the spring, such a sentence suddenly appeared.

    What does this portend?

    Guo Guo and Zheng Wanqing looked stunned. They didn't think there was any danger in this sentence. Zhang You was a little hesitant, but she couldn't analyze anything, so she could only look at Tang Xinjue worriedly.

    Tang Xinjue frowned: "The recovery of all things, in a literal sense, refers to the recovery of plants such as flowers, plants and trees, and some insects and animals have also resumed their activities..."

    What was the danger in this...?

    After repeating this sentence twice, Tang Xinjue suddenly paused and thought of something.

    The next moment, her roommate saw her stand up suddenly and said quickly, "Find out all the plants and flowers in our dormitory!"

    For some time, it had become popular to keep succulents in the school dormitory. Guo Guo bought four or five in one go. When the little succulent arrived, she encouraged others to buy it too, saying that she wanted to create a "succulent dormitory team".

    Zheng Wanqing didn't like to keep plants, and after being pressured, she just bought two pots of cactus. Facing the angry Guo Guo, she justified her words: "Anyway, they all look the same. This one is still very green and healthy." The green cactus plant, known for its tenacious vitality, experienced devastating damage in the second exam dungeon. It was frozen into ice cubes in the winter of minus 60 to 70 degrees, and was directly baked to death in the high temperature of 60 to 70 degrees above zero—— Even people were tossed to the point of death, not to mention a few pots of plants?

    Thinking about it again at this moment, and finding all the indoor green plants, the four of them couldn't help but shrink their pupils:

    The color in the flowerpot was delicate and dazzling, and the plants almost filled the entire mouth of the pot. Not only did it not show any signs of shrinking, but it was several times larger than before!

    "Spring, the season for the recovery of all things." Tang Xinjue said with a solemn expression.

    "Hey." Zheng Wanqing suddenly whispered, her hand was on the edge of the cactus flower pot, and she was stabbed, and blood dripped from her fingers into the flower pot.

    In the next instant, the cactus swelled up at a speed that made the pupils tremble, as if it had supplemented some much-needed nutrients, and it more than doubled in size in just a few seconds. The thorns on the cactus became several times longer, and each thorn leaned in the direction of Zheng Wanqing!

    "Damn!!" Zheng Wanqing subconsciously slapped the flowerpot flying. The clay pot shattered, and the soil scattered on the ground, revealing the roots of the plant.

    At this moment, even if there is no soil to take root, the root of the cactus bulb was still wriggling at a slow speed, and even has a tendency to gradually differentiate from one into multiple small bulbous tumors.

    What the hell is this?

    The people in the dormitory were still in shock. Suddenly, a cold chill broke out, and the surrounding temperature plummeted - it was Tang Xinjue who threw the freezing talisman and temporarily frozen and solidified all the pots of plants.

    Tang Xinjue didn't stop for a moment, and immediately looked for tools: "We must deal with them before they mutate too much." Her roommates reacted and immediately started to act. This time, the sleepiness was gone.

    It turns out that "all things revive" means this - who knows what these plants will "revive" into?

    Zhang You found the scissors and cut the green radish she kept in the water bottle by the roots. The scissors touched the branches and leaves of the plant, and it was as difficult as cutting gel. Fortunately, it was covered with a layer of frost, which could be smashed directly with the tip of the scissors.

    Succulents and cacti were more difficult to deal with. They were harder than usual plants,  and the utility knife in the dorm could not pierce them at all.

    "Get out of the way."

    Tang Xinjue dragged a chair over and smashed it directly. The wooden stars and plant fragments splashed together, and the loud noise made people's faces turn blue.

    It is a plant that should be fragile, but when it is smashed, it is like a collision of iron and stone... After a while, Tang Xinjue brought it up, and one of the chair legs in her hand broke.

    Even the legs of the chair were smashed continuously, it was the cactus that had just absorbed Zheng Wanqing's blood. In just a moment, it even expanded by about a third, making it bigger than two basketballs combined. And as if there was life, it squirmed wildly, and the spikes on the sphere tried to attack humans.

    Tang Xinjue didn't speak. She picked up the stump of the phantom demon from the water, put a freezing talisman on it, and after freezing it into an icicle, he smashed it hard at the cactus, and it finally shattered.

    The shattered flowerpots, soil, and torn apart plants left the entire bedroom in a mess.

    The others gasped, "So, is this safe?"

    Tang Xinjue shook her head, took out the match, and drew a cluster of fire: "Cut the grass and remove the roots."

    After confirming that the smoke from the plants was not poisonous, all the green plants, and even the residue in the soil was burned clean by a fire.

    Just in case, the four even set fire to the places where there had been a tide in the summer and moss had grown before, and then marked it to prevent another layer of microorganisms from growing.

    After finishing their work, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. Several people breathed a sigh of relief and finally solved the problem of plant mutation.

    Tang Xinjue came over with the two bottles of pesticides in the bedroom.

    "..."

    Yes, all things are revived, and insects are also living things!

    A new round of action began quickly, and the laundry detergent and soap were mixed with water and sprinkled on all the dark corners of the dorm. Guo Guo sprayed the spray in fear, and asked, "What is this for?"

    "Removal of cockroaches." Tang Xinjue, who was preparing the spray, replied coldly, "Insects like cockroaches have a layer of grease on their shells, which is very Difficult to kill. Soap is mixed with water and oil, they will not survive as long as they touch it."

    Of course, this is only limited to bugs in normal conditions. After all, no one knows that under the special buff in spring, those "resurrected" bugs will change. Whatever happens, they can only do their best to prepare in advance.

    In addition to the main activity area, the bathroom was the key object of disinfection. Not only did they spray a thick layer of pesticides, they also blocked the drains, sprayed the walls with soapy water, and let the hot water at the highest temperature accumulate on the ground for a full three or four centimeters to ensure the smooth and unobstructed process of insecticide.

    After finishing everything, the four of them climbed onto Tang Xinjue's bed together, and after thoroughly disinfecting the inside and outside of the bed tent with insecticide, they covered their noses and fell asleep together.

    A night without dreams.

    When they woke up again, it was no surprise that there was a scene of intensive phobia in the bedroom. It was not difficult to imagine that if a few people slept directly last night without any prevention, they would face more than that when they woke up.

    Fortunately, with careful preparations made in advance, the little creatures who had just recovered and planned to occupy the human space died before they were ready, and had already lost their combat effectiveness.

    "Wuwu is so scary! Jue Shen! Jue Shen?" Guo Guo had never seen such a spectacular scene, she was about to cry while hugging Tang Xinjue, but she found that Tang Xinjue was also pale and her eyes were closed, she looked even weaker and more pitiful.

    Tang Xinjue: "...I also have an obsession with cleanliness."

    She could ignore the mental pollution when she was facing off against ghosts or phantoms, but now...it's a bit disgusting.

    In the end, Zhang You and Zheng Wanqing were in charge of cleaning up, discarding four or five garbage bags, finally making the dormitory look normal.

    "Let's go down and help."

    Tang Xinjue suppressed the nausea and was about to go down, but Guo Guo suddenly grabbed her arm.

    "I, I don't dare..." Behind, Guo Guo's voice sounded trembling, "Let's wait, it's too scary outside."

    "It's to finish the dungeon." Tang Xinjue persuaded her a few words, and she started to fish Guo Guo out.

    The moment she touched Guo Guo's arm, the cold touch spread up, Tang Xinjue's movements paused slightly, and her eyes narrowed.

    Guo Guo didn't notice it, but still persuaded: "Those bugs are so scary, don't go down yet, you should be with me, wait a while, I don't dare to go down..."

    "Guo Guo." Tang Xinjue suddenly spoke, interrupting the other party's words.

    "Ah?"

    "Since everything recovers in spring. Then you say, are ghosts and evil spirits also included in everything?"
