I'm A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 18: Daybreak!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As time passed, Du Gang noticed that the bugs, which had been regrouping under the dormitory building, gradually disappeared.

They all burrowed into the nearby female dormitory.

Finally, when the first ray of sunlight appeared, the sound of the banging door ceased and the bugs were nowhere to be seen. “Why did they stop banging on the door?”

“I don’t know, what’s going on?”

“Could they climb up the wall?”

“Impossible, Du Gang went to observe them from the roof half an hour ago. If the bugs were to climb up the wall, he would definitely spot them!”

“Look, the spatial channel on the playground has disappeared!”

Suddenly, someone noticed the situation on the playground and exclaimed in shock.

Everyone rushed to their respective dormitory windows, and what they saw filled them with immense joy. “It’s gone! The channel is gone!” “Is the apocalypse ending?”

“Oh my God, it’s finally over!”

Ma Haibin, teary-eyed at the dormitory window, broke into tears of joy, looking like a man who survived a catastrophe.

Now that the end of the world appeared to be over, he decided to expose all the stuff Du Gang had done once everything returned to normal.

“Du Gang, just you wait….”

At that moment, Du Gang suddenly vaulted in through an upper-floor window.

“What am I waiting for?” He looked at Ma Haibin with a smirk.

As luck would have it, he originally planned to enter the sixth-floor dormitory, but happened to hear Ma Haibin’s voice from below, so he jumped in.

“Du… Du Gang…”

Ma Haibin looked at the tall and sturdy boy in front of him in disbelief. He didn’t expect this guy to be so persistent. Not in the mood for additional reprimand, he quickly tried to explain, “Nothing, I was just saying that I will eventually return to the sixth floor…”

“Kid, watch your mouth. You know, I’ve awakened as a Superpowered. I can hear all sounds within a kilometer radius and I can even grasp some of the thoughts in your mind…”

Upon hearing this, Ma Haibin swallowed hard, finding it hard to believe.

But thinking of Du Gang’s transformation into a giant over three meters tall, he felt it could be true.

“If you’re not honest and dare to harbor any ill intent, I have a hundred ways to make you disappear!”

“I won’t, I won’t!”

Lastly, Du Gang glanced at the begging Ma Haibin, snorted coldly, and vaulted straight out of the window to return to the sixth floor.

Ever since possessing the system, he found that even when not transformed, he was still much stronger than an ordinary person. His provisional assessment was that his strength was at least three times greater than before, and his hearing, among other faculties, had indeed improved somewhat, but not to the exaggerated extent that he used to frighten Ma Haibin.

“So, what’s the situation?

Ma Li stood by the window, asking the inbound Du Gang.

“Go to the corridor and call everyone else out, I’ll explain it in the corridor!”

“Okay!”

After all the people on the sixth floor had gathered in the corridor, Du Gang finally began to speak slowly: ‘You should have all seen it, the spatial channel on the playground has disappeared!”

“Yes, it’s gone…”

People were about to speak but seeing Du Gang raise his hand, they all quietened down again.

Du Gang nodded and continued, “I looked around and didn’t find any other spatial channels. Additionally, in the female dormitory, I found that the bugs are all in a state of deep sleep… It seems like they’re really afraid of sunlight!”

Not only did he go to the female dormitory, but he also went to class dormitories and other Dlaces. Bugs could be found hiding and sleeDinz in more or less all the surrounding buildings.

Du Gang took out his phone and said, “Try making a call to see if you have a signal!”

He had been trying to call his family all night but had been unable to connect, all communication through the internet was broken.

Everyone immediately got to work when they heard this.

He actually had a bad feeling about this. He had tried using Ma Li’s phone as well, which showed no signal.

As expected, before long, everyone had tested their phones.

“No signal!”

“Mine’s also not working!”

Du Gang looked around. Everyone’s phones had no signal, causing him to sigh deeply.

He didn’t know the current situation of his parents in Luo An City.

“Do you think the base station responsible for our area is broken?” Ma Li had found out earlier that his phone had no signal and voiced his reasoning.

“Don’t we have satellites?” The people present didn’t really understand. They didn’t know if phones still had signals when the base station broke down.

They all turned to Du Gang, as if waiting for his explanation.

Du Gang was speechless, “Why are you looking at me? I might like reading, but

I really don’t know about this stuff!”

After a group discussion, they finally asked the most crucial question at the moment.

“What should we do next?”

The channel had disappeared, and the bugs had gone dormant. The apocalypse might have ended, and everyone present wanted to find a safe place to stay.

“Go home?”

“Or maybe we should go to the police station…” “Yeah, why don’t we stay at the police station? It must be safe there!”

“I think, we should just stay in the dormitory…”

Du Gang was also pondering at this moment.

At first, he thought that with the advent of the apocalypse, bugs would continuously crawl out of the channel.

But to his surprise, the spatial channel actually disappeared during daylight!

Had it disappeared permanently? Or was it just during the day?

He had a vague sense of foreboding, suspecting that the spatial channel disappeared at sunrise, worrying it would reappear after sunset.

After all, the spatial channels on their side and in the Western Hemisphere, all appeared after sunset.

At this point, the crowd, who had been arguing without coming to a solution, turned their gazes to Du Gang.

They were also aware that only Du Gang’s words held sway here. Even if they wanted to leave, who would dare without Du Gang’s permission?

Du Gang understood their insinuation. After thinking for a while, he finally said: “Currently, we have roughly gathered three pieces of useful information; first, our phones have no signal or internet, second, the spatial channel has disappeared, third, the bugs are dormant!’

“The first piece of information, no phone signal, is it just our local base station without signal, or is it the whole city, or even the whole country? This question can be answered just by going a little further.”

“The second piece of information, the spatial channel disappearing, is it a permanent disappearance, or is it temporary, only disappearing when the sun is out? We’ll have to wait until nightfall to know the answer to this!”

“The third piece of information, the bugs are dormant, just like the spatial channel, these bugs seem to be dormant during the day. Will they wake up again at night? We will only know that at night!”

Upon hearing his analysis, everyone nodded in aufeement.

Du Gang continued, “According to what everyone has suggested, I have summarized that we have three options. First, stay in the dormitory and wait for rescue. Second, leave the dormitory and go to the police station. Third, return home!”

Most of the people present were students from other cities, which meant crossing city borders to go home.

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

“No, we should go to the police station…”

“Or, we should each go home, I want to be with my parents…” Everyone was expressing their opinions, unable to convince the others..
