Chapter 217 - Meditation

 Liang Yue gripped the Tang Blade in his hand tightly.

 Although the feeling of hunger was very unpleasant, it was the same that it could make a person explode with amazing strength, that was the instinct to survive.

 In the gymnasium, the faces of the students were filled with numbness and madness.

 For more than a month in a row, constantly experiencing the deaths of people around them and the ever-present threat of death, their spirits had more or less developed problems.

 Just last night, there was a girl who took advantage of everyone's inattention and hanged herself on the basketball hoop.

 But when everyone saw this scene the next day, no one cried and remained calm as could be.

 Liang Yue knew that things couldn't go on like this, and as the only teacher among the team, she had to help these kids fight for a future!

 While Liang Yue was pondering, class president Wu Chengyu and group secretary Shen Miaoke walked over.

 "Teacher Liang."

 Wu Chengyu opened his mouth.

 Liang Yue looked up at them.

 Wu Chengyu said, "Shouldn't we go out and find some food to come? If this continues, we'll starve to death."

 Shen Miaoke placed her hands in front of her body and hooked her fingers with a sad and compassionate expression, "You're our only hope, if you keep resting here and don't go out to look for food, what will everyone do?"

 A flash of dismay flashed across Liang Yue's face.

 She looked at the two class cadres, Wu Chengyu and Shen Miaoke both moved their gazes away, their eyes slightly dissatisfied.

 Liang Yue instantly understood.

 They were thinking that she hadn't gone out to look for food for several days in a row because she was afraid of encountering monsters and was afraid of dying.

 Was that why they came over to ask her to do her duty as a teacher?

 Liang Yue took a deep breath.

 I am a teacher, I shouldn't get angry with my students.

 She reminded herself so inwardly, then said to the duo, "What if the monster comes over to attack you again if I leave?"

 Shen Miaoke was still frowning, "That's why, Mr. Liang, you must act faster this time when you go out! Seize the time to rush over here!"

 Wu Chengyu coughed and said faintly, "Teacher Liang, you don't have to worry about this issue. We will do our best to protect our students!"

 He looked at Liang Yue in front of him and felt some contempt in his heart.

 What time is this, still thinking about protecting everyone, I really don't know whether to say you're straight or stupid!

 But it's also fortunate that you are such a person, otherwise, maybe I would have died long ago as well.

 Well, you're still somewhat useful, but your brain is not good. Then just listen to a smart person like me!

 Anyway, even if the monster comes, I'll just push out a few scapegoats.

 Shen Miaoke folded her hands and said with a prayerful face, ''Mr. Liang, please! The life and safety of all of us can be pinned on you alone!"

 Liang Yue looked deeply at the two students in front of her.

 She didn't say anything, but instead propped up the ground with the Tang sword in her hand and slowly stood up.

 It was then that she spoke, "Alright then, I'll go out this time. You guys take care to protect yourselves!"

 Wu Chengyu and Shen Miaoke naturally answered with their mouths full.

 More than a month's time had allowed Wu Chengyu to figure out the monster's habits.

 It liked to tease its prey and had the habit of storing food. So it would only kill a few students at a time and would not kill too many.

 In fact, Wu Chengyu had already screened a few cannon fodder.

 In case the monster really came, just push those guys out to stall for time.

 Then it would be safe to wait for Liang Yue to return.

 Holding the Tang Blade, Liang Yue opened the gym's door and walked into the Ice Corridor.

 The door behind him was quickly closed by a few students.

 Liang Yue gently exhaled a mouthful of white smoke, her eyes glanced at the end of the Ice and Snow Promenade before she walked towards the direction of the cafeteria with a flip of her long ponytail.

 She didn't walk far, but after walking more than a hundred steps, she quickly hid in a corner of the ice and snow passageway.

 Liang Yue leaned her back against the wall and slowly closed her eyes to enter a meditative state.

 Meditation was not a magical ability.

 Even an ordinary person could master this ability through specialized guidance, allowing their mind to become calm.

 It was a mandatory lesson that every martial artist had to perform, allowing one to cast away distracting thoughts and look at oneself internally.

 According to legend, in ancient times, there were supreme masters of martial arts who had entered the realm of transformation who could enter the metaphysical world of inner view through meditation.

 Although Liang Yue hadn't reached such a realm, as a top expert in the martial arts of China, she was still able to use this to silence her mind and make her breath internalized.

 She could no longer afford to be exhausted.

 Instead of waiting like this for the monsters to kill the students one by one, it was better to let go.

 "Between me and you, only one of us can survive!"

 "Or ... we both die together!"

 Liang Yue already had the realization of death in her heart.

 If necessary, she would die with that black monster!

 She could die, but her dignity as a martial artist and as a teacher made it imperative for her to protect her students!

 Liang Yue's thoughts were good.

 But she forgot that as natural hunters, felines were better at hiding their scent.

 In the gymnasium, after Liang Yue left, everyone subconsciously leaned towards the corner of the gymnasium.

 Yang Xinxin was sitting in a wheelchair, still looking as fragile as a crystal rose.

 Lu Ke Yan squatted down and reached out to gently touch her legs and arms.

 "Does it still hurt?"

 A few days ago, Yang Xinxin was used as bait and pushed out to lure the monster.

 Fortunately, the monster was more interested in moving creatures, and she was spared.

 But that hard fall had also left her injured, with bruises on her arms and knees.

 Yang Xinxin looked at her only best friend, a pale smile on her face.

 "I'm okay, I can't even feel the pain from the cold."

 Lu Keyan saw Yang Xinxin smile, which made him relax a bit.

 "Don't give up hope, we still have to live well! Right?"

 Yang Xinxin nodded and said with a firm gaze, "Yes, we can definitely live!"

 "The two of us, we can definitely live well!"

 A sneer tinged with madness came from the side.

 Zhang Meng Ning looked at the two of them with a fierce face, "What a daydream! Do you guys think that good fortune will always favor you?"

 "A disabled person, even if you survive, what can you do? You can't do anything, you'll just be a huge burden!"

 "If I were you, I'd just kill myself. Not to mention the pain of living by yourself, you'll also involve others!"

 The other students also looked at Yang Xinxin with a wry smile on their faces.

 They felt it was unfair.

 They themselves were all physically able-bodied and it made sense to live. Why did a disabled person deserve to enjoy the right to live just like them?

 "What's the point of holding on so bitterly?"

 "Next time, when the monster appears again, you won't be so lucky."

 Yang Xinxin didn't retort, she wasn't a girl who was good at arguing with people in the first place, except on the internet.

 Lu Ke Yan couldn't stand to watch and wanted to speak out for Yang Xin Xin.

 At this time, she raised her head and suddenly saw a flash of amber color appear in the opposite window.

 It was a huge eyeball!
