Chapter 227 [Empire] Lost
The next morning, I still didn't see my roommate, but from the traces of things being moved around, I could tell that at least someone had come back.
Today's class is about the zombie virus pollution that ancient people on Earth once faced.
"Students, let's cast our gaze back to the distant past of ancient Earth. Back then, a mysterious and terrifying zombie virus erupted without warning. This virus was highly contagious, spreading rapidly through various channels, including contact with bodily fluids and airborne transmission. Once infected, a person would quickly develop symptoms such as a high fever, convulsions, and confusion. They would then gradually lose their sanity, transforming into a walking corpse capable of attacking only living things."
I sat in the classroom, listening to the teacher ramble on about the zombie virus contamination facing the ancient Earthlings, but my mind was completely elsewhere. Last night's scene kept replaying in my mind. Wen Ya wasn't home, and I didn't know where he'd gone. He never came home this late.
After class, the noisy classroom made me even more restless. I couldn't wait to find a quiet place to call Wen Ya and check on him.
I walked under a big tree, turned on my computer, and sent him a video invitation.
However, as time passed, the video call was never connected.
I turned off my laptop and leaned against a tree, my mind racing.
The core content of the afternoon physical training is running laps.
When I came to the playground and looked at the long running track, I felt very depressed.
The coach blew his whistle, and the students took to the track and began running laps. I followed suit, my steps heavy and slow. Each step seemed to consume immense energy, but my mind was completely elsewhere.
Some of the students around me were panting but still persevering, while others were encouraging each other. But I felt like I was in another world.
Circle after circle, my strength gradually depleted, but I still forced myself to keep running.
Maybe I'm used to having people around me all the time, especially Wen Ya's constant company, so it's a bit difficult to adapt to this sudden situation.
Although Slime and the others are by my side and in my pet breeding space, this is the capital planet, and combat plants and exotic beasts are not allowed to appear here.
I tried hard to adapt myself to this sudden change, but the inner anxiety and loss followed me everywhere.
I am very familiar with that feeling, the same feeling as when I just got off a plane in my previous life.
We were together in the morning, how come we were separated in just half a day?
I understood it, my mind understood it, but there was a part of me, a part of my brain that just couldn't wrap its head around what was going on.
Everything was fine, how come it turned out like this?
Sweat soaked my clothes, and my breathing became rapid. My lungs were burning with pain.
This is not my normal state, nor is it far from my physical limit.
However, at this moment, my mind felt completely blank. My body was moving mechanically, but my brain seemed to have stopped thinking.
I know, I am worried about Wen Ya's condition.
This worry and anxiety made my mind go into chaos, leaving only a blank in my mind. I couldn't feel my body's fatigue, nor could I hear the sounds around me. With each step I ran, this worry deepened, making it impossible for me to concentrate on feeling my body and the ground of the track.
Even after I had completed the required number of laps, I continued to run mechanically until all my classmates had left the track, until they stared at me in surprise, until I couldn't even hear the teacher's call, until everything went dark before my eyes...
