Daily Doomsday: Did you save the world today?

Chapter 0004 Making Money and Running Away!

"hiss!"

A sharp pain swept through his body, and Liu Bai suddenly woke up and sat up.

Silence, darkness.

The white ceiling of the dormitory, like the face of a monster, came into his view.

Liu Bai touched his neck; although he was already in the dormitory, he was still shaken.

Squeak.

Squeak.

The toilet door was pushed open by the wind, making a sound.

Across from him, Wu Youzheng got out of bed and was watching the ball game with great enthusiasm.

Liu Bai glanced around the dormitory and silently picked up his phone.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

【19:55:39】

He glanced at the time and keenly noticed that it was ahead of schedule!

"Could it be that after I die, I can go back to twenty-four hours ago?"

A thought popped into Liu Bai's mind.

He died at 8:30 the first time, then returned to 8:30 the day before.

This time, he died at 7:55, and then went back to 24 hours earlier!

Both times it took exactly one day!

Liu Bai's mind immediately started working.

He didn't know why he had returned to the day before twice, but for now, it was a great thing!

If he can't come back, he'll have died twice already!

and so…

Liu Bai opened his phone and typed the word "monster" into the notes app.

There are more monsters on the train than at school, so the train is definitely not an option; we have to think of another way.

Moreover, time is of the essence; he must survive until tomorrow night to have a chance to think about the future!

So, aside from trains, the first thing that came to his mind was airplanes!

There's no airport near his home, but he could easily run away to another place.

But the airfare...

Liu Bai silently opened his account balance.

【537.19】

"Where can you go with this little bit of money?"

Liu Bai frowned and turned off his phone.

This amount of money is just enough to buy a sleeper berth on a train.

He needs to take a taxi to get to the airport, and if he wants to leave the province, it's impossible without spending more than a thousand yuan!

and so…

He needs to make some money before he can run away!

Liu Bai looked at Wu You, who was watching the game:

"Wu You, has the game gone smoothly yet?"

"Um, Lao Bai, when did you wake up?"

Wu You was slightly taken aback, and explained:

"It's only been a short time since the start of the game, how could they possibly score so quickly?"

Liu Bai nodded, then got out of bed and turned on the light with a "snap".

Wu You asked in confusion:

"Why are you suddenly asking this? I remember you don't like football, do you?"

With a solemn expression, Liu Bai moved a chair in front of Wu You and sat down.

"I have something to tell you, but don't be afraid!"

"Fear?"

Wu You smiled dismissively:

"I've studied grappling techniques. Unless it's a nuclear attack or the end of the world, I wouldn't be afraid of a few people coming at me!"

After saying that, he even made a few gestures in the air as if to imitate something.

Liu Bai's expression remained unchanged.

The first time, the square-faced police officer fired several shots, but to no avail.

The monster was clearly beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. Let alone capturing it, even Johnson felt like he was about to collapse!

As for why he told Wu You this, it was because the first time, Wu You was killed by a monster right in front of him!

The second time, apart from the video suddenly cutting off after the monster appeared, Wu You didn't show anything unusual, so Wu You is most likely not the monster!

Moreover, at that time, he wasn't even sure if it was a dream, so he couldn't convince Wu You at all.

Most importantly, he wants to make money quickly and needs Wu You's help!

Thinking of this, Liu Bai said in a deep voice:

"You might not believe it, but I died twice in one day!"

"???"

Wu You looked puzzled and reached out to touch Liu Bai's forehead.

"Old Bai, are you speaking like a human being?"

Liu Bai pushed Wu You's hand away and continued:

"At this time a day from now, a monster with extremely long limbs will appear. They are incredibly strong and impervious to swords and spears! They will twist people's necks or skin them alive as soon as they see them."

"When they appeared, there was no signal at all in the school, and no one could call the police. After encountering these monsters, I ran as fast as I could to the police station outside to report it. But what I didn't expect was... that one of the policemen was also a monster, and I ended up being killed by him!"

"After dying, I woke up to find myself back in time, a day earlier—right now!"

After Liu Bai finished speaking in one breath, he stared intently at Wu You, as if afraid that Wu You's face would distort and his limbs would grow longer.

Fortunately.

After listening, Wu You simply scratched his head and looked at him with a strange expression.

"Old Bai, are you... obsessed with reading novels? How about I go for a walk with you to clear your head?"

Liu Bai ignored Wu You's gaze and said:

"I know this is hard to believe, but it's true. I've died twice and returned to the present!"

"And the evidence is what I know about things that haven't happened yet tonight, like... the result of the game."

Wu You, who had been listening intently as if it were a novel, perked up immediately when the ball game came on and joked:

"The result of the game is right, so tell me the score of the Xia Guo team against Xiao Rizi. If you guess right, I'll believe you."

Liu Bai replied without hesitation:

"Before 8:40, Xia Guo team will concede a goal, and then Coach Li Heijin will bring on a new player at 8:30..."

As soon as Liu Bai finished speaking, Wu You's expression changed!

The commentary had just come through his headset when he heard that Xia Guo's team had conceded a goal!

However, he quickly regained his composure and asked suspiciously:

"There's a five-minute delay in the live stream. Do you have a friend there trying to prank me?"

Liu Bai twitched the corner of his mouth:

"The score was 0-3. The Little Days team will score two goals in extra time, and the last one will be an own goal!"

"Haha, see, you gave yourself away!"

Wu You burst into laughter:

"This time, the Xia Guo team is using a tortoise formation; all the experts predict a maximum of two goals! Old Bai, you just don't understand football; you can't even make something believable out of a story!"

"I may not understand football, but I do understand the national team!"

Liu Bai tilted his head back, his tone brimming with confidence:

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see. After this match, there's another one where I forget who it is, but the score is 3 to 2."

"Oh, right, at 9:30, Brother Chen will also start a poll in the class group to say that tomorrow's team building activity will be changed to a barbecue. You can ask him now."

Looking at Liu Bai's confident and resolute expression, Wu You's resolve began to waver.

Is this for real?

But he quickly dismissed the idea. How could anyone possibly go back to a day earlier?

This is impossible!

and so…

Wu's right eye darted around, and he gave Liu Bai a sideways smile:

"I'm asking Brother Chen right now! If his reply doesn't match up with the game, Lao Bai, are you going to bring me a week's worth of meals?"

"Deal! A month is fine!"

Liu Bai nimbly got out of bed and came to Wu You's side.

Wu You's eyes lit up, as if afraid Liu Bai would change his mind, and he quickly opened his phone to edit the message.

Caught between a rock and a hard place: "Brother Chen, should we change tomorrow's team building activity to a barbecue?"

After sending the message, Wu You didn't forget to show Liu Bai his phone.

"Hehe, you're definitely bringing this food."

Wu couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

The idea of ​​people going back to the day before is less convincing than talking about the end of the world.

One minute later, the phone rang.

Wu You looked and found that there were two audio recordings.

"Old Bai, have you prepared your lunch yet?"

He placed the phone between the two of them and turned on speakerphone.

Instructor Chen: "Um, I just had this idea, but I haven't consulted the class officers yet. But it's probably going to be barbecue, since the previous ones were too monotonous."

"And who told you this? I haven't told anyone yet."

After the audio finished playing, Wu You's smile vanished abruptly, and he frowned, saying:

"Are you working with Brother Chen to get me?"

"How free is Brother Chen to still be messing with you..."

Liu Bai looked utterly helpless.

Wu You still didn't believe it and kept his eyes on the game.

"There's still the game, and I haven't lost yet! I refuse to believe you can predict the game correctly!"

Liu Bai shrugged, looking confident of victory.

Making Wu You believe him is secondary; his main goal is still to make money!

Thinking of this, Liu Bai immediately transferred all his remaining balance to Wu You:

"Old Wu, how did you bet on the game? Help me bet on the next match to be 3-2! Ten times the odds!"

"Are you serious, buddy?"

Wu You glanced at the 500 yuan transfer on his phone, his eyes filled with surprise.

Liu Bai did not respond, but nodded seriously.

"Alright... I'll go to the football betting shop and buy some. Don't blame me if I lose it all."

Wu You clearly did not believe that Liu Bai could return to the day before.

"Go ahead, I'll rely on this match to make money for my getaway tomorrow!"

Liu Bai waved his hand.

Although Wu You was suspicious, he still put on his clothes and walked towards the door.

He had just lost 100 yuan and was thinking of betting more for the next round, since it was on his way anyway...
