Chapter 107

The black-haired Alpha's voice was calm, but the Prisoners dared not delay for a second. They had already witnessed from below how this Alpha was unafraid of their Pheromones and had taken down ten people without a word. They dared not delay and looked up quickly and in unison.

They are all perverts, the difference is that Alph's level of hormones is higher than theirs, and the current situation is better for them, but their perverted psychology has many similarities.

If the positions were reversed, and the Prisoners were placed in their own shoes, anyone who dared to look at their own face would be killed in the next second.

Fearing that making eye contact would make them victims of the unpredictable Alpha's gun, the Prisoners looked up but tacitly kept their eyes fixed on Qin Su's chin and below, their cautious gazes filled with unease as they avoided direct eye contact with Qin Su.

Is SuSu about to go on another killing spree?

[Yes, it is.]

[Although they're very sensible,... if it were them, I wouldn't feel any sympathy.]

[If I weren't addicted to killing, I'd be Qin Su's sidekick]

Is it now fashionable to eat and take things with you?

Qin Su: "..."

The students didn't speak, but Qin Su caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that their expressions were practically identical to those in the live stream comments—they were all focused on their own spines.

Adhering to the principle of 'if it's a bad review, I won't look at it,' Qin Su focused on the present moment and silently refuted the rumors about himself.

"See that?" Qin Su raised his hand, pointing towards the pile of insect meat chunks stacked together by the students.

The Prisoners followed Qin Su's fingers hidden in his black Combat Suit. The outer layer of the Combat Suit clung tightly to every inch of his fingertips, and in his long, powerful hand he held a weapon that could easily blow off half a head with a single bullet.

The weapons were pointed at countless parts cut from different insects.

Apart from the red and white mixed insect brains, eyeballs, tongues, and various organs, which are difficult to shape, the other pieces of meat were cut into shaped pieces.

Besides the Prisoners, there was also 1st Brigade members looking over.

The 1st Brigade's gazes darted back and forth between the carefully selected and cut pieces of meat, which they assumed were for themselves, and the Prisoners.

He guessed that they might have been wrong, and that these things were not prepared for themselves, but for the Prisoners, and he was immediately filled with displeasure.

If they guess right this time...

'What merit do these worthless people have? Why should Qin Su specifically instruct them to prepare food for them?'

'If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have bothered searching for fresh, delicious-smelling parts; I would have just gone to the place where I exterminated the insects yesterday and found the rotting remains of the bugs!'

The Prisoners. "..."

'Good news, we won't shoot them today, and we won't use Military Saber to brainwash them.'

'Bad news: Except for the heart and a few other parts that will remain intact, the rest of their bodies will be cut into... neat, square pieces of flesh by the inhuman Alpha's orders to this group of perverted kids.'

No wonder those kids were looking at them with such hostility.

Thinking of this, the Prisoners ' faces, which were bluish-black and secreted with a strange, foul grease, turned deathly pale as they swallowed with difficulty.

'Today, they will not only face certain death, but a bloody and brutal one.'

Knowing they were going to die, the Prisoners dared not ignore Qin Su's questions. Regardless of what they were thinking, they didn't dare to delay for a moment when they saw what the Alpha was pointing to, nodding their heads like chickens pecking at rice.

Having not communicated for a long time, and only using beast-like roars to intimidate their kind, they hurriedly and obediently answered Qin Su in hoarse and unpleasant voices.

"I see, I see it."

"Uh-huh..."

The Prisoner had personally confirmed the target of the food, and throughout the process, he showed no signs of rebellion or arrogance, so Qin Su was temporarily relieved.

It seems the Prisoners are behaving well, and he really doesn't need to use their lives as a deterrent anymore.

It's not time for them to die yet; this is more conducive to his plans.

Qin Su's gaze swept over the students, and he saw that He Muzhi had already returned to the group.

"Over the next two hours, each of the Ten Team Leaders will be responsible for one Prisoner and will meticulously fill out the forms received on their respective Optical Brain."

Qin Su categorized the insect meat pieces that the students had previously photographed and uploaded, as well as the pieces they had collected. Each group leader was responsible for specific categories, the amount to be consumed, the observation time, and so on. There were detailed requirements for filling out the forms.

The Prisoners were utterly despondent.

'One person, one Prisoner —they guessed right. Next, they'll be shaped into a form that will satisfy the Alpha.'

'His father shaped every single piece of flesh on their bodies, and he even had requirements? It seems the more respectable a pervert appears, the more twisted their heart is.'

The Prisoners below, who had been watching the situation above closely, were on high alert. Judging from their own experience, their thoughts were not much different from those of the ten Prisoners above.

Qin Su's words caused the ten group leaders to focus their attention on the Prisoners, and then quickly check the messages received on their Optical Brain.

Upon opening the spreadsheet, the team leaders clearly saw the arrangements and understood Qin Su's plan.

'They guessed right.'

As expected, the team leaders weren't entirely satisfied; they were secretly criticizing the Prisoners and envying their privilege.

The other students were extremely curious, but because Qin Su was there, Qin Su didn't let them see what the group leaders had received. They obediently watched from the side, forcibly suppressing their curiosity.

He Muzhi's mind was in turmoil. He keenly sensed that he had completed his task, but the result had not satisfied Qin Su.

Of course, Qin Su did not show the slightest displeasure on his face; it was just that he... felt that way in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Qin Su treated him and the other team leaders the same.

He Muzhi was a little happy, feeling that the sky had cleared, the rain had stopped, and he could get back on track.

After reviewing the task assignment sheet given by Qin Su, He Muzhi, with a slightly raised voice, acknowledged Qin Su's instructions amidst the other group leaders, saying "Received."

Qin Su glanced at the other students and, under their expectant gazes, said, "The rest of you can do as you please."

He secretly hoped they would stay and observe, after all, each of the students present might one day become a pioneer, sharer, and leader, aside from Prisoners.

Regardless of what they thought, Qin Su didn't force them to return to the Rest Pod or make them stay on the platform; he left it to them to choose for themselves.

Everything that needed to be said and done had been completed step by step. In order to let the other students know the truth from the ten group leaders as soon as possible, dispel the rumors, and clear his name, he also wanted to observe whether the Prisoners who were afraid of him would riot after he left, and how the students would react if they were without him, but whose lives were threatened, even though he had once 'backed them up'.

In order to satisfy his burning curiosity as quickly as possible, Qin Su did not linger.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qin Su simply turned around, leaving behind the words: "Whether the last one left is a corpse or a living person, you can do as you please."

Qin Su wasn't sure which foods could kill people or cause food poisoning in the Prisoners.

Let the Prisoners adopt a "my fate is in my own hands" attitude.

They ate them to death, their corpses...

Qin Su couldn't help but recall the horrifying scene from yesterday noon when his classmates lined up to sniff the stench of rotting, sweet-smelling, aged Corpse Odor.

Is this considered a kind of extra treat for the students?

Qin Su: "..."

His thinking is so twisted.

The environment and people really can influence people; sure enough, he was quietly influenced by the Interstellar People and turned into a monster.

If I'm lucky enough to survive...

As Qin Su left, taking advantage of the Protagonist Group and they couldn't see his face, he relaxed his eyes without any pretense, shedding his 'cold' facade, and revealing a clear light of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

He was going to peek at the screen later to see his classmates, especially how He Muzhi would deal with the surviving Prisoners.

If it's the Federation...

Allowing the Zerg to develop freely on an entire planet is tantamount to turning it into a 'breeding ground' for them.

Over a period of more than a hundred years, while the Zerg now thrive here, the Maikafukeclai Planet became one of the places to Purge at the very moment he appeared.

Human nature is complex; people make different choices in different environments due to varying circumstances.

The two prisons on Micah Falkley were built under the leadership of the current president. Perhaps this was in exchange for the current president relinquishing control over all areas of the planet except for the prisons?

If what I think is true, the current Federation President is not entirely on the opposite side of He Muzhi.

The Fourth Military Academy selected this location for the Purge. Aiseboer was simply unlucky, as he hadn't lied. It also couldn't be proven that Aiseboer's superiors hadn't interfered.

If you're in a high enough position, it's easy to rig the selection process. There are so many people who have the opportunity to do dirty work, it's not surprising that the current president is among them.

Regardless of their purpose, they had arrived in Maikafukelai, and he needed to seize this opportunity that might have been delivered to him. He needed to carefully consider the possibility of the Zerg being wiped out by the Federation's deliberate attempts to control their numbers... No, that was too big a target.

How to eradicate a small number of insects?

The phenomenon of invasive species being eaten to the brink of extinction is not uncommon in the Real World, Qin Su inevitably thought of 'eating'.

During his Second Practical Exercise, he took the opportunity to visit many places, and the descriptions in the texts were far less impactful than what he witnessed firsthand.

It's common for ordinary people to eat whatever they can to survive without weapons.

However, those foods rarely contained Zerg that were on the Federation's Purge list.

Because they have no weapons, even if they are starving and want to eat insects, they don't have the life to do so, and the probability of becoming food for the Zerg is as high as 99%.

The powerful and wealthy not only control weapons, but also have their own private armies. If they want to eat something, they don't need the Federation government to suppress them; they can take matters into their own hands.

It's not unusual for them to expend a lot of resources to satisfy their appetites; what's difficult is getting them interested in the Zerg as food.

He needed to make students from unusual family backgrounds, such as He Muzhi, Sophia, and Raymond, witness and confirm the list of edible, non-toxic insects.

Getting the same items as others... the same applies to 'eating'.

He needs to find an opportunity to subtly leverage the 'celebrity effect' to help the 'overstocked... no, overpopulated edible Zerg '.

We strive to ensure that every type of insect finds its proper stomach.

Purge all the Zerg would be too difficult if it were just the Military Academies and armies that weren't solely dedicated to Zerg eradication. Involving powerful figures with their own armies and weapons would be much more difficult. Unlike the Military Academy students, they wouldn't be restrained to allow the Zerg to multiply and threaten the local population's living environment.

They couldn't possibly take everything with them. After the bombing, they took the parts that the higher-ups liked to eat, leaving only the food for the local residents.

If this virtuous cycle continues, sooner or later the rampant Zerg will face extinction.

Even if they don't become extinct, their numbers can be greatly reduced.

"!"

Although things had only just begun, it didn't stop Qin Su from secretly awarding himself a 'good guy' card in his mind.

'Dispose of it at will?'

He Muzhi thought of the time not long ago when Qin Su openly mentioned him, and subconsciously felt that although Qin Su was talking to others, it was actually mainly aimed at him.

After revealing the truth, I was disappointed. This statement clearly implies, "I'm too lazy to say anything more; let's see how you perform."

He Muzhi felt that he wasn't doing so well again.

"Commander 1." Less than thirty seconds after Qin Su finished speaking, as Qin Su walked to the Spaceship's hatch, He Muzhi suddenly spoke up as if he had made up his mind.

While Qin Su was immersed in his 'wonderful imagination', the sudden sound startled him so much that his heart skipped a beat and he stopped in his tracks.

Qin Su: "..."

How could he tell He Muzhi people can be so frightening that they can scare someone to death?

When He Muzhi ran quickly to Qin Su had already prepared his expression, skillfully cosplaying as indifferent, as He Muzhi stood in front of him.

The person who took the initiative to contact Qin Su was He Muzhi. Qin Su didn't ask 'what's the matter' and wasn't in a hurry at all. He calmly waited for He Muzhi to speak.

The other students in the 1st Brigade watched Qin Su leave, waiting until his figure disappeared from sight before rushing to their nearest group leader to see what Qin Su had given them and why they hadn't.

Unexpectedly, He Muzhi rushed to Qin Su's side in one stride.

The students in the 1st Brigade were only stunned for a second. They saw He Muzhi pass by Qin Su and then stop a step away from Qin Su. They were filled with envy and admiration for He Muzhi.

"What is He Muzhi doing?"

"Is your memory like a fish's? Have you forgotten that He Muzhi was tasked with 'smelling whether the Commander has been tainted by the disgusting stench of the trashy Prisoners '?"

"Oh right! That's what happened!"

"Only He Muzhi dares to get this close to the Commander. That's the benefit of being favored; he's even bolder than us."

The Prisoners. "?"

They're all about to die, and they still get dragged down and humiliated? No wonder they're soldiers trained by a psychopath; they're so obsessed that even the scent on their bodies lingers on that Alpha, and these guys are jealous.

He Muzhi stopped and first bowed solemnly to Qin Su: "Commander 1, I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I couldn't accept it and couldn't get over it myself, so I played a trick on you. I'm sorry."

"Holy crap!" Sophia exclaimed in disbelief. "I never would have guessed before! He Muzhi is such a clever schemer. He actually came up with the idea of using the bowing opportunity to get his mouth and nose closer to our Commander, so he could sniff him more clearly!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement with Sophia's words.

"No wonder our Commander has taken a liking to him; he does have his own agenda."

"Seeing He Muzhi smelling something from a step away wasn't enough; he went to great lengths to get that close. This proves we were right before—the stench from these perverts definitely didn't reach our Commander 1!"

"That's right!"

The Prisoners. "..."

Have they stayed away from the outside world for so many years that even the most perverted have become incomprehensible to their outdated minds?

Is it possible that Mu Bao was really just apologizing?

[Ha, naive. Couldn't you apologize and sneak a sniff at each other at the same time?]

[Unassailable]

While the 1st Brigade was gossiping, the moment Qin Su turned his back to them, they all gripped their weapons tightly. They seemed to be chatting idly, but in reality, they were constantly watching the Prisoners with vigilance.

' Qin Su has already intervened once for them, successfully intimidating the Prisoners and preventing them from acting recklessly. His departure now is clearly giving them a chance to prove themselves, to see if their behavior towards the Prisoners satisfies him.'

'Although they weren't singled out like He Muzhi, they still didn't dare to have the same opportunity to shine... It's okay to harm their own kind; they can just blow off the Prisoners ' limbs when they become unruly and suddenly attack, rendering Prisoner incapacitated!'

Just like they discussed privately in a group chat without Qin Su, 'How can blowing off limbs be considered murder? At most, it's just removing the murder weapon, which is perfectly reasonable.'

I was utterly astonished that the tools used in the crime could be used here.

[They really went all out to ensure that the Boss 1 wouldn't let them down.]

[Who can still remember yesterday that they were all innocent babies who didn't even dare to fire their weapons when they saw each other as human?]

[Interstellar People have always been adept at adapting to new situations]

Upon learning from the comments that his classmates wanted to 'remove the Prisoners ' tools of crime,' Qin Su, '... It's okay.'

He had actually already sorted things out on his own and put the matter out of his mind, but he didn't expect He Muzhi to be so good at self-reflection and not yet have moved on from the 'past'.

"It's not important anymore." Qin Su didn't want He Muzhi, so he comforted He Muzhi, "Just focus on what you need to do later."

Straightening up, He Muzhi felt a familiar chill. Hearing Qin Su's words, his red eyes darkened, and he unconsciously bit his lip. He quickly lowered his head, his voice muffled. "... I understand. I will definitely complete the following tasks diligently. Then I won't disturb the Commander any longer. Goodbye."

A cold, dismissive "It's not important" clearly revealed Qin Su's disappointment in him.

'I did not accept his apology.'

He Muzhi's inner monologue evoked sympathy from the Viewers.

Qin Su, who learned everything from the comments, said, "... Goodbye."

He experienced phantom pain in his spine.

Don't try to guess the protagonist's thought process; you can't figure it out, you simply can't.

He Muzhi lowered his head and quickly walked away from her side. Qin Su did not linger either, and his figure naturally disappeared from everyone's sight.

As Qin Su disappeared from sight, the entire 1st Brigade, still fearful of the Prisoners, dared not delay for a moment. Almost simultaneously, they aimed their weapons of different calibers at the ten Prisoners.

The dark muzzles of guns and cannons surrounded them completely.

"..."

Watching the black-haired Alpha disappear one moment and then be surrounded by countless people pointing their guns and cannons at them the next, the Prisoners were filled with despair.

Anyone would think they have a hard life.

The Prisoners below. "!"

'They realized that the fear and trepidation those kids put on when facing the ten Prisoners yesterday was all an act! Now that their leader, Alpha, has left, they've dropped the act and revealed their true colors!'

[Maintaining such a perfect facade in front of Qin Su, then instantly changing your attitude behind his back—that feeling of being two-faced—it's so satisfying!]

[Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't realize everyone was so concerned about their image (doge emoji)]

[This is just the beginning of the Boss 1's 'training' of them. I can't even imagine how terrifying these people will be if the training is successful.]

Everyone had already discussed this in the group chat, He Muzhi was used to this situation and returned to the group amidst the expectant gazes of his classmates.

Not wanting everyone to worry about him, He Muzhi quickly adjusted his dejected mood.

"Everyone, let's begin." He Muzhi forced a smile and looked at the other nine group leaders.

'They might not understand something this simple, but we can't afford to mess it up and disappoint Qin Su again.'

The group leaders nodded in agreement, each selecting a Prisoner and mimicking Qin Su's cold and ruthless demeanor. With the students' support, they successfully got the Prisoners to act according to their wishes.

Just as the Prisoners thought their death was imminent and they were about to be cut into pieces, the order they received was to eat.

For a moment, their minds went blank, but that initial apprehension quickly faded under the threat of being blasted into mincemeat with a single shot. Caught between ignorance and fear, they chose to wolf down their food, remaining both confused and terrified.

Things were progressing smoothly, and the students dared not let their guard down. They pointed their weapons at the Prisoners while trying to get as close to He Muzhi as possible.

"He Muzhi, you went to all that trouble to actually smell their scent on our Commander?" Although they didn't think so, they still wanted to confirm.

He Muzhi was taken aback, seemingly not expecting his classmates to ask such a question, and truthfully replied, "I didn't mean to smell it intentionally."

He was too embarrassed to say that he had actually forgotten about it briefly, and that his classmates had misunderstood him.

Raymond, not getting the answer he wanted, retorted speechlessly, "Just keep pretending. Our Brother Su isn't here, there's no need to maintain an image in front of us. Hurry up and confess, or we'll treat you leniently; if you resist, we'll punish you severely! We won't call you a pervert, what are you afraid of?"

Recalling the aura he sensed when he approached Qin Su, He Muzhi said, "The Commander 1 was cold, with no scent at all. If there was anything you could smell, it was only the coldness."

The Prisoners, numbly stuffing food into their mouths, were filled with doubt, their minds swirling with questions: 'If you're not the perverts, then who is? Us? Our mere perverted behavior is nothing compared to your twisted minds and bodies!'

The members of the 1st Brigade were satisfied.

I knew it!

"That felt good."

"How did the Commander do that? Was she naturally beautiful?"

Qin Su, who was spying on the screen. "..."
