I’m A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 18: It’s Dawn!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As time passed, Du Gang noticed that the insects that regrouped under the dormitory building gradually disappeared.

They had crawled into the girls’ dormitory.

Finally, when the first ray of light shone, the clamor of doors banging stopped and the insects were gone.

“Why did they stop banging on the door?”

“I don’t know. What the hell is going on?”

“Will they climb up the walls?”

“Impossible. Du Gang went to the roof half an hour ago to observe them. If they do climb the wall, he will definitely know!”

“Look, the spatial channel on the sports ground has disappeared!”

All of a sudden, someone noticed and exclaimed out loud.

Everyone hastily crowded to the windows of their respective rooms and were instantly surprised.

“It’s gone! The spatial channel has disappeared!”

“Is doomsday over?”

“Oh my God, we’re safe!”

Ma Haibin was teary-eyed and crying with joy by the window, looking like he had survived the calamity.

Doomsday was finally over, and everything would return to normal. He would also expose all those things that Du Gang did.

“Du Gang, just you wait and see…”

Almost at the same time, Du Gang suddenly entered through the window.

“See what?” He looked at Ma Haibin with a smirk.

Coincidentally, he was going to jump into the window on the sixth floor, but he happened to hear Ma Haibin’s voice, so he jumped into his window on the fifth floor instead.

“D-Du Gang…”

Ma Haibin looked in disbelief at the tall and sturdy young man in front of him. He didn’t expect this guy to be so sly. However, it was too late for him to curse, so he hurriedly explained: “Nothing, I just want to say that sooner or later I will return to the sixth floor…”

“Kid, listen. I have awakened supernatural power that allows me to hear everything within a thousand meters. I can hear even the thoughts in your head…”

The dismayed Ma Haibin listened and swallowed some saliva.

But the thought of Du Gang transforming into a three-meter-tall giant made him feel that what he said was true.

“If you ever have any bad intentions, I have a hundred ways to make you disappear!”

“I-I won’t!”

Du Gang glanced at Ma Haibin who repeatedly begged for mercy, snorted, and jumped out of the window to return to the sixth floor.

Since owning the system, Du Gang found that even when he didn’t transform, his physical strength was stronger than that of ordinary people’s. He judged that his strength had become at least three times stronger. As for his hearing, it had also improved, although not to the exaggerated extent he told and scared Ma Haibin with.

“Well, what’s the situation?” Ma Li asked, standing by the window that Du Gang had just slipped through.

“Go to the corridor and get everyone to come out. I’ll speak there!”

“Okay!”

After everyone on the sixth floor gathered in the corridor, Du Gang slowly said: “You should all see it by now. The spatial channel on the sports ground has vanished!”

“Yeah, it has—”

As the crowd was just about to speak, Du Gang raised his hand and the place instantly quietened again.

Du Gang nodded and continued: “I went to look around and didn’t find another spatial channel. In addition, I found the insects in the girls’ dormitory, and they are in the state of deep sleep… It seems like they are more afraid of sunlight than anything else!”

Not only did he go to the girls’ dormitory, but he also went to check out the classrooms and surrounding buildings. He saw that there were more or less some insects hiding and sleeping inside them.

Du Gang took out his cellphone and said: “You guys, make a call to see if there is a signal!”

He had been calling all night and couldn’t get in touch with his family. The network communication had been cut off.

Upon hearing his words, the crowd immediately got into action.

Du Gang had a bad feeling. He tried calling using Ma Li’s phone, but there was also no signal.

And sure enough, it didn’t take long for the crowd to test it out.

“No signal!”

“Mine doesn’t either!”

Du Gang looked around and sighed. No one had a signal.

He wondered how his parents were doing over in Luo An City.

“Do you guys think that the base station in charge of our area has collapsed?” Ma Li had long found out that the cell phone had no signal, and at that moment, he put his guesses into words.

“Isn’t there a satellite?” The people present didn’t know much about whether a cell phone would still have a signal even if the base station had collapsed.

One by one, they looked at Du Gang, as if waiting for his explanation.

Du Gang showed a speechless expression, saying: “Why are you guys looking at me? Although I like reading, I have no idea about such a thing!”

After some discussion, one of the students finally asked the most critical question.

“What should we do next?”

With the spatial channel gone and the insects dormant, doomsday might be over. Those present wanted to find a safer place to stay.

“Go home?”

“How about going to the police station…”

“Yeah, let’s go to the police station and stay there. It’s definitely safe there!”

“I think let’s stay in the dormitory…”

Du Gang also pondered.

At first, he thought that doomsday had come as a constant stream of insects crawled out of the spatial channel.

But surprisingly, the spatial channel disappeared during daytime!

Is it permanently gone? Or does it only happen during the day?

He had an ominous feeling, suspecting that the spatial channel, which had disappeared after the sun appeared, would reappear after sunset.

After all, the spatial channels, including the ones in the Western Hemisphere, all showed up after the sun went down.

At that moment, the crowd’s discussion ended without any result and they turned to Du Gang.

They were aware that only Du Gang had the final say here. Even if they wanted to leave, no one dared to without Du Gang’s permission.

Du Gang understood their concerns. He thought about it and said: “At present, we have three crucial pieces of information.

“First, no cell phone signal. Is it our local base station, the whole city, or the entirety of the country that can’t receive signals? This is a question that can be answered by simply walking towards the far end.

“Second, the spatial channel has disappeared. Is it gone temporarily or permanently? Or does this only happen when the sun is up? We will not know the answers until darkness falls again!

“Third, the insects are dormant. Like the spatial channel, these insects are dormant during the day, so will they wake up again at night? Again, we will have to wait until nightfall to know!”

After hearing his analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.

Du Gang continued: “I summarized the ideas that everyone provided. Next, we have three options. First, stay in the dormitory and wait for rescue; second, leave the dormitory and go to the police station; third, go home!”

The people present were basically students from out of town, so they would need to travel across the city to return home.

“I think it’s better to stay in the dormitory…”

“No, we’d better go to the police station…”

“How about we go home? I want to stay with my mom and dad…”

Everyone expressed their opinions and no one could convince anyone else.
