When Qin Su was setting up the scene last night, he had already calculated in his mind the area of the plane and airspace that would be affected.

Hearing his classmates' voices, Qin Su emerged from his Mecha and, using the energy source beneath his feet, levitated to the shoulder level of the Mecha he was Combat Suit.

His gaze swept over the students, and seeing their tense expressions, Qin Su spoke without hesitation, "All 1st Brigade, listen to my command!"

"!"

'Judging by their appearance, they can really help the Commander.'

Everyone immediately went into a state of high alert, holding their breath and concentrating intently to follow Qin Su's instructions, feeling confident that they had the upper hand.

Qin Su: "The Mecha and a Small Warship remain where they are. Everyone, follow me."

"Yes!"

"Receive!"

The Mecha leaders swiftly emerged from their Mecha and stepped onto the Warships their team members had come to pick them up.

According to the students' responses, Qin Su rose to an altitude of two thousand meters above the highest treetop.

During the ascent, primarily concerned with his life and secondarily to ensure he wouldn't embarrass himself later, Qin Su secretly moved his legs, which were resting on the giant Mecha, while everyone was out of sight.

He secretly ensured that the bottom of his Combat Suit was securely attached to the Warship and Mecha, so that as long as he didn't try to untangle it, he could be welded to the Mecha's shoulder.

The entire 1st Brigade quickly followed in Qin Su's footsteps, rising to the same level as Qin Su.

'Two thousand meters above the highest tree canopy? What help can they possibly provide up there?'

Filled with doubt, everyone's gaze lingered between the distance displayed on the Visual Helmet and Qin Su.

Because his 'magic' could only be viewed from afar, Qin Su's heart was forced to grow colder than the knife he'd used to kill fish at Worunfa for ten years. He had no choice but to ignore the hopeful eyes of his classmates who wanted to help him, coldly rejecting their earnest requests for assistance, leaving only the two words: "Cold and indifferent."

"Stand by."

Even at an altitude of two thousand meters, given the dense network he placed last night, the number of Glands capable of affecting Interstellar People, and the range of influence of the emitted Pheromones, the students' altitude would still be affected.

At that time, all the students will feel pain the moment they smell his Pheromones, and then follow their body's instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm and leave.

In the Pheromone deception, students will come to the idea that 'he uses Pheromones to fight the Zerg.'

Regardless of the expressions on the faces of the entire 1st Brigade, before they could even react, Qin Su looked down and, with the help of his Visual Helmet, reconfirmed the center point he had set the night before.

While I'm at it, I'll quietly keep track of time in my mind, building up everyone's anticipation.

The 1st Brigade, which was poised to go, was completely dumbfounded. At this moment, their confusion outweighed their disappointment.

"???"

'Ha?'

'Why is this completely different from what they imagined?!'

Despite their confusion, the 1st Brigade dared not disobey Qin Su's orders and remained still, following Qin Su's gaze downwards.

They wanted to get closer to Qin Su, but their bodies instinctively kept a distance. This was partly because they didn't want the scent of the Prisoners on them to taint Qin Su, and partly because they were used to not getting too close to Qin Su.

From a distance, they could only see Qin Su his eyes lowered, but they couldn't be sure what he was looking at.

Below them were a Warship and the Mecha the team leaders had once piloted; everyone instinctively assumed that Qin Su was looking at them.

At this altitude, the Mecha that remained in place appeared tiny if they didn't use scopes.

Among the crowd furthest from Qin Su, voices of concern rose up.

"The Commander told us to stand by, but left the Mecha in place. Does that mean we're inferior to the Mecha?"

"I also suspect that the Commander is telling us that the greatest help we can give him is to stay out of trouble and keep our distance."

"Cannot be unsupported."

That hurts.

"Don't neglect the liver, spleen, and lungs; they too can get severely stabbed."

"It's our fault for being so useless."

"I get it," Anthony said, frustrated. "It's just that we're incompetent."

Everyone was taken aback by his words, and their eyes all turned to Anthony as they retorted in unison, "Don't speak for us!"

'Just because they can't do it now doesn't mean they can't do it in the future; they will try their best.'

Anthony shut up.

Out of the corner of Qin Su's eye, he noticed that, just as he had expected, his classmates instinctively looked towards familiar objects in the unfamiliar environment— the Mecha.

Amidst the students' varied opinions and heightened curiosity, one student casually muttered to himself, "Well... let's also subtly express our dissatisfaction along the way."

"?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze instantly shifted from the Mecha to Qin Su.

'What does the Commander mean by this?'

The thought had barely crossed everyone's minds when they saw Qin Su standing on their largest Mecha, diving Mecha towards the dense forest that was clearly still uncleared.

'That's strange. Why would he charge into a forest teeming with insects all by himself, carrying a Mecha, without their help? What is Qin Su planning to do?'

Everyone's curiosity reached its peak at this moment.

At the same time, the members of the Unit 2 looked up and, with their scopes magnified to maximum, easily saw a large group of members from the 1st Brigade taking off into the air, mimicking the appearance of dark clouds high above.

"What are those guys from the 1st Brigade up to? How can they even hit you from that high altitude? They can't be afraid of dying, can they?"

"With Qin Su around, they can't possibly be afraid of death. Speaking of death, I'm a little curious. Today is the fifth day, and our Team 2 has lost a total of sixty-three people. How many of them have died?"

"I don't know. More than that, I'm curious why they did it."

"Can anyone see Qin Su?" Blumer asked the crucial question in the channel after listening for a while.

He also saw a large group of people high in the distance.

They were too far away to see clearly who they were, but besides their own Unit 2, there were only people from the 1st Brigade, so it couldn't be anyone else.

"No."

"Me neither."

No one saw Qin Su, Blumer immediately ordered, "Everyone take off! Don't get close. Keep your eyes on our side and look towards him quickly!"

Even if he doesn't know the progress of the other side's cleanup, the other side is Qin Su, and their Unit 2 can't win. They might as well just watch from the sidelines.

Blumer perfectly captured the sentiments of the Unit 2, who all took to the air and looked down at the 1st Brigade from their vantage point.

It wasn't until they reached high altitude that Blumer suddenly realized that the area designated by the school for the 1st Brigade had now been reduced to just the triangular area at the end of the diagonal.

Judging from visual inspection, it would take their Unit 2 about a day to clean up that large area.

In other words, under Qin Su's leadership, 1st Brigade only needs one day... that is, today, to finish, and 1st Brigade's cleanup mission will also be completed.

Blumer: "..."

In other words, with only two days left before the scheduled Purge, the 1st Brigade had already completed its mission.

The sheer density of the insects here deeply shocked Blumer.

This is not something Qin Su can achieve on his own; it also requires the strong cooperation and considerable ability of the other students.

This isn't just excellent, it's monstrous! After this is over, he'll definitely ask the people in the 1st Brigade what Qin Su did for them during training that made them improve so quickly in every aspect.

"Look, Qin Su is over there!" No wonder they couldn't see him earlier; it turns out Qin Su wasn't standing with the people from the 1st Brigade.

"You can't even see the face from that far away, you can only see the shape of a human. How did you determine that?"

"What an imposing presence! Who else but Qin Su could pull that off?"

What is he doing?

"I don't know, but judging from how Qin Su placed the entire 1st Brigade in mid-air, it can't be simple."

Blumer followed the punctuation marks his classmates were pointing at and zoomed in to the maximum magnification, where he saw the silver Mecha leaving a distinct mechanical streak as it moved downwards.

Qin Su stood on the Mecha's shoulder, and together they rushed towards the last remaining triangular area in the cleanup zone designated by the school for the 1st Brigade.

For aesthetic purposes, Qin Su's body and the Mecha maintained the same tilted downward diving posture.

The sound of wind whistling past his ears filled his ears. Upon arriving at the designated location marked during the simulated rehearsal the previous night, Qin Su's Optical Brain displayed the text "Arrived at the designated release area."

The instant he saw the text, Qin Su simultaneously activated the Glands linked to every hidden point in the remaining Triangular Area.

An overwhelming, familiar Pheromone, centered on Qin Su, spread rapidly in all directions along with the chilling aura.

The members of the 1st Brigade stood high in the air, looking down with their eyes fixed on Qin Su's figure.

Their pupils reflected the scene of Qin Su's figure approaching the treetop, and the next second, they smelled the familiar, cold Alph essence emanating from Qin Su.

Then, they felt an indescribable pain sweep over their entire bodies, causing them to lose their minds and collapse uncontrollably.

'Pheromone, it's Qin Su's Pheromone!'

'Qin Su is using Pheromones to kill the Zerg!'

Numerous shocking thoughts flashed through the minds of countless people in the 1st Brigade; they were utterly astonished.

The Second Practical Exercise experience taught them that Qin Su's Pheromones could intimidate the Zerg for a moment, rendering them immobile.

But what they didn't know was that Qin Su's Pheromones were more than just that. They couldn't merely intimidate the Zerg; given Qin Su's calm and collected demeanor as he charged alone towards Zerg, his Pheromones... might even immobilize the Zerg? And then Qin Su could manipulate the Mecha below to attack together?

Sensing danger, the students, still able to maintain their rationality thanks to their strong Mental Power, instinctively maneuvered all the unmanned Warships around them, retreating to higher ground.

Their escape lasted less than a second; before the Warship had even stabilized in the air, a series of heart-wrenching, shrill cries, a mixture of countless different insects, pierced their eardrums.

' Qin Su's Pheromones were unbearable even for them at such a distance, let alone for the insects who were closer to Qin Su than they were right now!'

Everyone instinctively looked down, and after the mournful chirping of insects, they saw the scene displayed through the scope on their Visual Helmets. Everyone was drenched in cold sweat.

In the scene, countless insects, driven to despair by Qin Su's Pheromones, were instantly torn apart as they took to the air, their blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Countless layers of exploding flesh shot through the air from the dense forest canopy almost simultaneously, then plummeted to the ground shortly afterward...

It truly lived up to its name, a bloody and terrifying spectacle.

"!"

They're wrong, terribly wrong. What Mecha? Qin Su doesn't need Mecha at all; he can dominate with just his Pheromones.

[The legendary blood pool and flesh forest—while others scatter flowers like celestial maidens, Brother Su is just scattered... scattered flesh?]

[Holy crap, the rumored instant kill has really blown me away!]

[Insects:? Use Pheromones? Are you kidding me? (bursting into tears) PS: What's the point of playing with these insects? Boss 1 plays with them like they're trash.]

Let's appreciate the correct use of Pheromones!

[Pheromone... can be used like this? I can't imagine how terrifying Qin Su's Pheromones are, that they could cause countless insects to perish and explode in the blink of an eye.]

[The stunned 1st Brigade: The clown is actually ourselves. jpg. But this also indirectly confirms that Qin Su has been playing house with everyone all along. He doesn't even need to waste a single weapon against the insects; he can wipe them all out with Pheromones. Thinking about it... damn it, what makes 1st Brigade so special? Isn't it my turn now?]

[Handsome is the only word I can use, and I can say it countless times when talking to this Boss 1!]

[Doesn't anyone think that when Qin Su revealed the strength of his Pheromones to the 1st Brigade, in a sense, it was also a form of acknowledgment of them? Acknowledging that they were one of their own?]

As the live chat exploded with excitement, the area around the scene where the 1st Brigade discovered the truth fell into a deathly silence.

Watching the blood and flesh fly into the air, and thinking that this brutal and terrifying scene was all caused by Qin Su's Pheromones, everyone was chilled and stunned, remaining speechless for a long time.

'Clearly, the moment they sensed Qin Su's Pheromones, they, like they had not long ago, let out a final, desperate cry for help, driven by the instinct for survival, wanting to flee outwards, to higher places.'

' Qin Su's mercy was reserved only for them; he showed no pity for the Zerg. His Pheromones were powerful and ruthless, giving them no chance to escape. In the instant they had only a moment to let out a mournful cry, they exploded equally.'

'Before Qin Su made his move, he specifically led them to a high altitude far away from the reach of his Pheromones, but... they were too weak, not as strong as Qin Su had anticipated, and were still affected by the overwhelming Alph pheromones.'

'No matter what, it's enough that Qin Su cares about them. They don't need to think about anything else; it's pointless anyway!'

Coming to their senses, the group's stiff minds began to process what had just happened. The chill gradually faded, and they blinked repeatedly, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets from the shock of what had just transpired. They belatedly realized that the flying flesh and blood had shot into the air, causing a crimson mist to gather and obstruct their view downwards.

"..."

It's their fault for being too weak. If they were strong enough, they would have the opportunity to stand near Qin Su and see what the situation below was like.

'I don't know... where is Qin Su now?'

Although Qin Su was not visible for the time being, the members of 1st Brigade were not too worried. They had clearly witnessed countless insects, regardless of size or species, succumbing to Qin Su's Qin Su Pheromone within three seconds of him touching the treetop and releasing his Pheromones. Therefore...

'Qin Su will be fine; it's the Zerg who will perish.'

Such a grand and dense mass of flesh and blood... While the others were looking down, waiting for Qin Su to appear, He Muzhi seemed to realize something and quickly looked towards the group of the 1st Brigade.

Just as he expected, Qin Su, who was originally last on the class's real-time kill leaderboard, has now firmly secured first place.

This means that Qin Su not only demonstrated to them how he could instantly kill Zerg with Pheromones, but also precisely control the number of Zerg killed, taking less than three seconds to fill the amount of Star Coins that could be exchanged in this practical battle in the blink of an eye.

He Muzhi: "..."

That's terrifying.

Could he possibly conclude that it wasn't just his narcissism, but that Qin Su's previous actions were indeed a targeted, step-by-step training of them?

Although they were far apart, the people from Unit 2 could still get a general view.

When Blumer recovered from the scene created by Qin Su, he looked again and found that the remaining Triangular Area was covered in blood.

At the same time, everyone received the same notification on their Optical Brain.

[The Third Practical Exercise Qin Su Team's Purge mission has ended.]

[Congratulations to Qin Su Team for winning this Purge mission!]

Blumer: "..."

The 1st Brigade belatedly realized there was such a thing as Purge Zone: "!!"

The Unit 2 were shocked. "???"

Ah, this makes sense... well, it does seem reasonable.

Under.

With the rehearsal done three times last night, Qin Su controlled the timing well and successfully disappeared beneath countless split limbs along with Mecha before the insects exploded.

Using the blood and mist generated by the densely packed, shattered insects to form an impenetrable 'barrier', Qin Su, who had temporarily escaped the Protagonist Group's sight, was forcibly brought back to his senses after being suddenly stabbed by the Mecha.

As his consciousness returned and his thoughts came back to him, recalling everything that had happened, and confirming that he had succeeded, Qin Su finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

I caught a glimpse of the scrolling text, so fast it was almost impossible to read, but the general gist of the comments was that this scene was incredibly cool.

Isn't it cool? He didn't sleep a wink last night, tirelessly and risking his life to silently trap a specified number of them within a densely laid-out net, meticulously placing indiscriminate attacks on Interstellar People and his own Glands to create all of this.

As long as he dives down and aims for the center, pulling the densely packed nets around him to the bottom with the force of the Mecha, a single move will have a ripple effect. Countless insects trapped within the transparent nets will be squeezed and blown away in a very short time, creating the visual illusion that 'the Zerg cannot withstand the release of Pheromones and are exploding.'

The 'chorus of insects' before the body exploded was entirely thanks to the recording equipment he had placed beforehand and played it in advance.

It appears glamorous on the surface, but underneath it's full of shady dealings.

Seeing the rapidly increasing barrage of comments and the Native Favorability, Qin Su felt much better, as his brain, which was about to explode from the 'Pheromone' attack.

The Glands used this time were too numerous and the concentration too high. Even though he used a self-protection device specifically designed for these types of Glands, he still experienced a brief moment of terror when the Pheromones exploded, and his whole body felt like it was about to split open.

If he hadn't pre-programmed the Mecha to inject him with a needle every five seconds to force him to regain his senses, he probably wouldn't be in the moment yet.

Less than five seconds after the scene of 'countless insects exploding simultaneously', Qin Su enough, manually injected himself with another needle, and then manipulated the Mecha blocking his way to move aside.

He couldn't rest any longer; the strong segment was still halfway over.

As the Mecha departed, the mountains of Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood surrounding Qin Su all collapsed towards the center where Qin Su stood.

In no time, Qin Su was completely buried inside, with only his head sticking out.

No matter where it gets dirty, it can't get his head dirty. He'll make sure everyone can see his feigned 'cool' eyes through the Visual Helmet later.

In order to evenly coat himself with flesh and blood, creating the illusion that he had stood amidst flying gore and watched the insects die from his Pheromones, Qin Su peeked out from the Meat Mountain and blood for two seconds before maneuvering his Combat Suit to step into the Warship.

Qin Su crawled out of the Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood. Except for his Visual Helmet, his entire body was covered in blood, forming a stark contrast with the clean Warship.

Standing on the Warship, Qin Su glanced at the Mecha below.

The Mecha he was using was completely Mecha with explosives ready to be detonated.

The other ten Mecha weren't originally his, so he couldn't tamper with them. He could only place explosives where they were expected to land. Now, under the cover of the exploding blood mist, those Mecha silently reached their designated positions under his control.

Later, he will detonate the bombs he has placed in different locations to ensure that the dark truth below is completely destroyed, so that even if someone comes to investigate, they will find nothing.

Qin Su glanced at the time on his Visual Helmet; a full ten seconds had passed since the insects exploded.

It's time to go up and deliver the final strong blow.

Thinking this, Qin Su took advantage of the fact that the thick blood mist had not yet dissipated and could serve as a backdrop, withdrew his gaze from the Mecha, and, forcing his mind to roar as if it were about to explode, flashed upwards.

Before anyone could take their attention away from the blood mist, a familiar figure appeared in their field of vision.

Qin Su stood in the center of the Small Warship, covered in blood, atop a cloud of spreading blood mist.

"!"

Although everyone knew Qin Su be alright and understood that the blood on his body came from the insects that had exploded and died, seeing it with their own eyes still made everyone worry about Qin Su.

Noticing the attention coming from all directions, Qin Su did not respond to any of the gazes.

Upon reaching the designated location, the center of the blood mist, Qin Su did not linger and immediately activated the explosive devices that had been laid out the previous night.

Before everyone could catch their breath, a violent explosion rang out from the blood mist beneath Qin Su's feet.

Boom!

A deafening explosion stunned everyone. Before their very eyes, the blood mist beneath Qin Su's location was dispersed by the explosion, revealing a large triangular area that was instantly leveled.
