ECG -Chapter 133 Are You Guys Crazy?

Qi Xuebing’s face was covered in tears. Chu Xiaomei came back to her senses from her grief, glanced at Qi Xuebing, and somewhat pityingly reached out to wipe his face.

A boy suddenly shouted, “Lin Hao, give me an autograph!”

Immediately, someone else followed:

“I want one too!”

“Me too!”

“I brought my Black Disc, sign it for me!”

“I want to hear Blue Lotus!”

“The World Outside!”

“I want an autograph too!”

“……”

In an instant, more than a dozen people rushed toward the stage.

Normally speaking, any girl who saw her boyfriend being this impressive would be extremely happy. But Xia Yumeng’s lips had only just curved into a smile before freezing. That feeling of unease in her heart grew stronger and stronger. She suddenly turned her head to look around—the small auditorium was packed with too many people today.

When more than a dozen people took the lead and rushed forward, others naturally followed. More and more students began shouting for autographs, and the faster ones had already climbed onto the stage.

Lin Hao still hadn’t realized the danger. He smiled as he accepted a ballpoint pen, and the male student shouted loudly:

“Sign on my back!”

But before he could even start writing, he was shoved sideways by the crowd.

In the blink of an eye, three or four hundred people began surging toward the stage. The force of the crowd was terrifying. At this moment, Xia Yumeng finally understood what she had been worried about. She hurriedly shouted:

“Don’t push! Don’t push!”

But her voice was instantly drowned out by the excited screams.

Lin Hao had never experienced a situation like this either. He was startled at first, but quickly reacted. He grabbed the microphone and shouted:

“Everyone, classmates, don’t push! Let’s do this one by one. I’ll sign for everyone…”

But before he could finish speaking, the microphone was pulled away and fell to the ground. The speakers let out a loud—

“Bang!”

Some people climbing onto the stage tripped over the microphone cable and fell. The microphone rolled across the floor, while the speakers continued making loud “bang bang” noises. When Lin Hao tried to find it again, he could no longer see where it had gone.

Wu Xiaozhou clearly saw what was happening. He pushed Bai Zhitao toward where Chao Bin and the others were standing and shouted:

“Quick, get against the wall!”

In the chaos, Cui Gang did the same thing. He grabbed Jiang Rong’s arm and pushed through the crowd, bringing her to stand beside Bai Zhitao. Then he followed Wu Xiaozhou toward the stage. Behind them were Gao Laoda, Meng Pangzi, and Yan Xiaoqi.

Wu Xiaozhou could see everything clearly. Lin Hao’s side had already been surrounded layer upon layer by hundreds of students, and the number was still increasing. In the blink of an eye, Lin Hao’s figure disappeared from sight.

Chu Xiaomei was completely stunned. She couldn’t understand how things had suddenly become this chaotic. Only after a moment did she realize Lin Hao was in danger. But just as she tried to climb toward the stage, she hadn’t even taken two steps before she was knocked to the ground.

Qi Xuebing was shoved sideways by the crowd. After steadying himself, he immediately threw himself over Chu Xiaomei.

“Ah, damn it! Ah!”

He shouted curses in pain as his back and butt were already stepped on several times.

More and more people continued surging toward the stage. Several girls had already fallen down in the aisles on both sides and in the middle.

Xia Yumeng turned toward Jiang Rong by the wall and shouted:

“Jiang Rong! Run outside and call the security office! Tell them there’s a stampede in the small auditorium! Hurry!”

Jiang Rong immediately turned and ran out.

Bai Zhitao wanted to follow, but Xia Yumeng shouted:

“Don’t move!”

Seeing that Chao Bin, whose face had turned deathly pale, was standing beside Bai Zhitao, she shouted at him:

“Go find help!”

Chao Bin acted as if he hadn’t heard her. He just stood there blankly without saying a word. The other four members of the band were also completely terrified by what was happening in front of them.

Who could have imagined these people would go completely crazy like this?

When Xia Yumeng saw how cowardly Chao Bin looked, her anger flared up, but at this moment saving people was more urgent than scolding him. She turned around and ran toward the left side of the stage. She had seen the microphone fall there earlier and wanted to pick it up to call out and maintain order.

Lin Hao was being pushed around by the crowd from all directions. Realizing something was wrong, he knew things were getting serious. With so many people and no order at all, someone was bound to get hurt. He shouted repeatedly, “Don’t push! Don’t push! Everyone, calm down!”

Someone holding a copy of the Dukou CD nearly poked him in the eye with it, making Lin Hao even more anxious. Just then, he heard Wu Xiaozhou’s voice coming from the edge of the crowd.

“Everyone spread out! Someone fell down! Someone’s going to get killed!”

The first few shouts worked. The people pushing forward slowed down for a moment, but soon they surged forward again, all shouting that they wanted an autograph.

Everything had happened too suddenly. In less than two minutes, things had turned into this mess. Some male students who had been too slow to squeeze forward also realized something was wrong. They rushed over to pull back the students who were still trying to charge toward the stage, but this only made things even more chaotic.

Standing below the stage, Xia Yumeng searched through a sea of legs for the microphone. She finally touched the black microphone cable, but her hand had already been stepped on several times.

Enduring the sharp pain, she quickly pulled on the cable. Fortunately, the microphone was still connected and didn’t seem to be damaged. As soon as she got hold of it, she let out a piercing scream.

“Ah——!”

The sound traveled through the microphone, so sharp it seemed capable of piercing everyone’s eardrums. Everyone froze, and the small auditorium instantly fell silent.

“Are you guys crazy?” Seeing that everyone had stopped moving, Xia Yumeng angrily shouted, “What are you doing? Is Lin Hao some kind of celebrity? He’s just an ordinary college student like us! Is this really necessary?”

“Look! Look carefully! Open your eyes and look!”

As she spoke, she pointed behind her. More than a dozen girls and two boys were sitting on the ground. Some were clutching their legs, while others held their arms and groaned in pain.

“What’s the use of getting a stupid autograph? Are you going to eat it or drink it? Look at how many people got hurt! Are you all insane?”

Fury burned in Xia Yumeng’s eyes.

The crowd slowly began to move backward. Lin Hao finally broke free from the crowd. By now, he looked completely disheveled, and several buttons on his shirt had been torn off.

Xia Yumeng shouted again, “Line up! Leave one by one! Hurry up and go back to sleep. Calm down and think about what happened!”

After saying that, she spotted a very familiar classmate.

“Zhang Guangxi, you’re the vice president of the student union. What were you doing? Didn’t you realize how dangerous that just was?”

Zhang Guangxi was a slightly chubby short-haired male student. Hearing Xia Yumeng’s words, he immediately stepped out with a guilty expression. He quickly called out the names of several students and asked them to help maintain order.

At that moment, Jiang Rong ran in. Two people from the school security office followed behind her. Seeing the situation inside the auditorium, both of them felt a headache coming on and hurried over to check on the injured students.

Lin Hao quickly jumped down from the stage, with Wu Xiaozhou and the others following behind him.

Xia Yumeng handed the microphone to him. At a glance, Lin Hao noticed that her hand was covered in bruises, purple and blue marks all over it. He was about to say something when Xia Yumeng hurriedly said:

“Don’t worry about me first!”

Lin Hao looked at her deeply. He really hadn’t expected this. Usually, this girl looked quite delicate and gentle, but when something happened, she was far stronger than those big guys.

“Students!”

The moment Lin Hao spoke, everyone who was leaving stopped.

“I’m really sorry about today. I didn’t expect something like this to happen. For any students who were injured, I will cover all their medical expenses. Everyone should go back and rest early. Hopefully, we’ll meet again another day.”

Applause broke out. Many girls shouted:

“We’ll go buy Dukou tomorrow!”

Lin Hao could only smile bitterly. How many copies they bought had anything to do with him anyway? But now wasn’t the time to explain. The important thing was to get everyone out first.

The students gradually left, and Lin Hao’s group went over to the injured students. Fortunately, it wasn’t as serious as they had imagined. No one had broken any bones; they only had some scrapes and injuries from being stepped on.

Xia Yumeng and Lin Hao exchanged a glance, and both of them finally relaxed.

The two security office staff members also felt a huge weight lifted from their shoulders. One of them stood up and angrily demanded:

“Who applied to use the small auditorium today?”

Everyone looked toward Chao Bin and the members of the Rock Band.

Chao Bin awkwardly raised his hand.

“Teacher, it was us who applied.”

“You all come to the security office later!”

The man’s face was full of anger. If something serious had happened today, they would have lost their jobs.

Chao Bin cursed his bad luck inwardly, his hatred growing even stronger. They had prepared for so long, yet they never expected to end up paving the way for Lin Hao instead.

When the band members went up onto the stage, Chao Bin almost cried.

His electric guitar and acoustic guitar were scattered on the ground. The neck of the acoustic guitar had already snapped, and he had no idea who had stepped on it.
