Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 309 A Mistake

Chapter 309: Chapter 309 A Mistake

Everyone agreed with Gu Fan’s reasoning and was ready to go back to sleep when Ning Qi dressed herself up tightly; she put on a face mask, hat, and goggles.

Gu Fan was a bit puzzled: "Ning Qi, why are you dressed up like this?"

Ning Qi gave a bitter smile: "I don’t want you guys to see my haggard appearance now, you know, girls care about their image."

Alright, next everyone needs to discuss who will stay awake and be on the lookout tonight. It’s about the safety of everyone after all. Seeing the Ice and Fire Glowworms outside, ready to rush in at any moment, can anyone calm down and sleep?

Volunteering, Ning Qi even picked up a shotgun, declaring with a solemn oath that she would protect everyone’s safety.

Everyone was surprised by Ning Qi’s courage. They never expected such a seemingly fragile girl to have such a brave side to her character.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened: the shotgun in Ning Qi’s hand accidentally discharged. With a loud bang, it shattered a large section of the window glass.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden event and then saw numerous Ice and Fire Glowworms rushing towards the broken window.

"Quick, block the opening!" Gu Fan shouted. The person nearest to the window was also looking for something, and by the time they pulled off their jacket to block the opening, many Ice and Fire Glowworms had already rushed into the cabin, scaring the person into retreating.

If they don’t block the opening, more Ice and Fire Glowworms will come in. Gu Fan and everyone else were worried; there was no safety for them now.

"Oh God, no way!" Lu Yi swung his clothes, driving away the approaching Ice and Fire Glowworms. Everyone else followed suit, but this method could only keep the Ice and Fire Glowworms at bay for a while.

Seeing more and more Ice and Fire Glowworms flying in, Gu Fan gritted his teeth and said: "Cover me." He then picked up the clothes and dashed towards the broken glass.

Lu Yi, Jie, and Xu Haowen followed suit, swinging their clothes vigorously to swat away the Ice and Fire Glowworms on Gu Fan’s way, finally freeing up a path for him to the broken glass.

Determined not to let the Ice and Fire Glowworms get in any further, Gu Fan stuck the clothing to the shattered glass, then shouted, "Give me tape, tape, or anything else will do, quick!"

At that moment, everyone was busy fending off the incoming Ice and Fire Glowworms and had no spare hand for that.

Gu Fan was in the most dangerous situation. He was trying to block the broken window without any means to protect himself, and one of the Ice and Fire Glowworms saw the opportunity and dived towards the back of Gu Fan’s neck.

In the nick of time, Su Hui swung her stick and knocked the Ice and Fire Glowworm away, saving Gu Fan’s life.

However, Su Hui was not all-purpose. The Ice and Fire Glowworms were small and fast, and hitting one didn’t mean she could do it again. She yelled anxiously, "Faster!"

"I wish I could," Without tape, Gu Fan could only try to stuff the rolled-up clothes into the shattered glass, which took time.

By the time Gu Fan had finally managed to stuff it in, Su Hui grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him down. Gu Fan cooperated and bent over, dodging the attacks of a few Ice and Fire Glowworms.

Now there were at least thirty-something Ice and Fire Glowworms in the cabin, and more outside, too many to count. They had no choice but to fight back in the limited space.

Ning Qi was hiding in a corner, curled up with a faint tremble visible through her body.

Under the offensive of the Ice and Fire Glowworms, everyone swung their clothes to fight off them and dodged. Sometimes, two people would collide and almost fall over.

"Oh God, it’d be great if we could just smack them like mosquitoes," Lu Yi said in a fluster, having already tumbled several times.

At this time, Gu Fan noticed Ning Qi curled up in the corner. Although a few Ice and Fire Glowworms were circling around her, they did not attack. Suddenly, Gu Fan realized something.

"Everybody, don’t let your skin touch the Ice and Fire Glowworms, don’t get bitten, get dressed up completely," Although Gu Fan’s reminder was timely, everyone was busy dealing with the Ice and Fire Glowworms attacking from all directions, where would they find the time to put on masks and gloves?

It was fortunate that not many Ice and Fire Glowworms flew in, otherwise, they would have really been at a loss. At present, if the stalemate couldn’t be broken, it seemed unlikely they could hold on until daylight.

At that moment, Kang Rong was swinging her clothes so frantically that she accidentally let one fall from her hand. Some Ice and Fire Glowworms then pounced on her. She could have picked up the clothes from the ground in time, but she was too frightened and backed away crying.

Hu Bo saw that his girlfriend was in danger and wanted to help, but a few Ice and Fire Glowworms were circling him. If he rushed forward single-mindedly, the Ice and Fire Glowworms behind him would seize the opportunity.

Kang Rong was about to be pounced upon by the Ice and Fire Glowworms, when by a twist of fate, she escaped to the side of the stove. The Ice and Fire Glowworms did not dare to approach and flew away swiftly.

Having escaped from the jaws of death, Kang Rong was in disbelief. Her cheeks were still wet with tears, but when she saw the stove next to her, she immediately realized and cried out, "These bugs are not only afraid of light but also fire. Everyone quickly come near the stove."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt like they saw hope. They swung their clothes to drive off the Ice and Fire Glowworms around them while moving towards the stove. Amazingly, the Ice and Fire Glowworms didn’t dare to get too close.

However, everyone huddled together near the stove, making the corner a bit crowded. It was uncomfortable, but at least it was safe.

At this moment, Gu Fan noticed that Ning Qi was still curled up in the corner, shaking slightly as if she was scared. However, she was not in any danger. The completely dressed Ning Qi was a hard nut for the Ice and Fire Glowworms; she didn’t expose even a fraction of skin.

Having this opportunity, they all got dressed with gloves, masks, hats, etc. They didn’t need to be afraid of Ice and Fire Glowworms anymore, and then everyone began to clear the cabin, killing the Ice and Fire Glowworms one by one.

Although the venom of the Ice and Fire Glowworms was powerful, they were harmless if they couldn’t bite anyone. With their precautions in place, Gu Fan and the others were completely different from those who had suffered previously. They attacked the Ice and Fire Glowworms carelessly, thus dealing with the crisis.

After a while, they had finally killed all the Ice and Fire Glowworms that had entered the cabin, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief, albeit temporarily. They were covered in sweat from the ordeal, but no one relaxed their guard, fearing that a bug had not been dealt with and was still hiding somewhere in the cabin.

Going through the recent thrilling experience, it was terrifying just thinking about it. Who was in the mood to sleep now? They decided to wait for daylight together.
