If you don't understand, you don't understand. It's not the first time anyway. Qin Su, used to this, suppressed his gossipy desires and left the Spaceship first.

Considering that, based on observations over the past few days, no student has been able to match his speed while using Underwater Combat Suit, and fearing that He Muzhi might not be able to see him, Qin Su, adhering to the principle of not wasting any advantageous shots, secretly activated the single-person capture camera.

To ensure maximum freedom of movement, Team 1 and Team 3 were not equipped with submarines; only Transport Team 2 used submarines primarily to replenish the supplies needed by Team 1.

Qin Su, who was rotated to Team 1 today, was currently carrying almost entirely heavy weapons, except for two light weapons.

Having observed and rested enough over the past two days, Qin Su has greatly relieved the psychological pressure of being in the dark water and is now in high spirits.

Despite carrying a heavy load, Qin Su controlled his pace as he walked, creating the appearance of being 'relaxed and at ease'.

Heavy weapons, in terms of both size and power, are far superior to light and small weapons. The range of impact and the visual spectacle they create are also far greater than those of light weapons.

It was his best choice.

With so many weapons on his back, and after repeated practice over the past period, he is at least not at the point where he needs to 'advance with technology' to walk on the ground.

Once in the water, with the aid of Underwater Combat Suit, it will only be easier for him.

He has practiced repeatedly underwater with each weapon he has chosen, to the point that he can use it easily with one hand.

The weapons he didn't choose were not only because their weight exceeded his single-handed capacity and because he had practiced with them but wasn't very confident, but also because their colors didn't match the 80% black and 20% red of his Underwater Combat Suit.

For example, the color of weapons like Green √, blue, pink, etc., to the point that he would turn his head away as soon as he saw them.

He already has a solid black and a bright red on him; if he adds other colors, the contrast will be too stark and will detract from the overall aesthetic.

"Finally, it's getting right."

Looking at the tall figure ahead, Alec uttered the sound of 'My wish has come true'.

Upon hearing this, the students in Class 66 nodded in agreement.

"Qin Su has returned to where he was born to be."

"The way you put it makes it sound like our Transport Team is still useless... Fine, I admit it, it's not that important. If it weren't for Qin Su wanting He Muzhi and his group to be 'all-rounders,' and also giving us a boost of confidence, our specialty would always be the last resort. Even so, after this battle, I suddenly had a feeling that 'if they can't handle it on the front lines, then I can just take their place.'"

"I've also... become very confident, something I would never have dared to imagine before."

"However, doesn't anyone think that the weapons Qin Su is using are too heavy? Just the Plasma Cannon attached to the left side of his Combat Suit alone, if I remember correctly, weighs at least sixty or seventy pounds, not to mention the other weapons he carries that are of similar weight."

"This weight is nothing to Qin Su. You've forgotten that Qin Su is the man who can easily lift Mutian Tuo with one hand."

Amidst the chatter and quick movements, everyone skillfully found their own groups and left the Spaceship together as a group.

Hearing the discussions and observing Qin Su's initial equipment, Richards didn't hesitate to move all the heavy weapons from the supply depot onto the submarine he was controlling.

Although Qin Su didn't say it, his eyes would see for themselves.

Qin Su Subao prefers heavy weapons.

Color?

That's not important. Qin Su is definitely not as superficial as him, focusing too much on color and too much on the actual power of weapons.

The others in his group, seeing the colorful heavy weapons on Richards' submarine, swallowed hard and suggested, "How about we take some smaller weapons?"

"No, no, no, you don't understand. Qin Su likes these things." Richards waved his hand confidently.

I can't imagine how I would react if that weight were stacked on me.

Be confident! It's going to be chaotic and disorganized. Don't try to be as agile and nimble as Su Bao.

[The Combat Suit is red and black, with the red lines curving and hooking. Paired with the heavy, mechanical weapons that match the Boss 1's cool and imposing aura, doesn't anyone feel an extreme tension emanating from the coldness?]

[Sister, I understand you. You exude a cool and aloof aura from beginning to end, yet you look incredibly alluring and sexy, right?]

[Well, let's cherish this outfit of Boss Su. Richards is decked out in a bunch of heavy weapons with a chaotic mix of colors. The green is so bright it's almost garish, and the pink is so pink it makes me feel like I'm bubbling with rainbows... In short, Richards, that guy with no taste, didn't even bother to carefully select weapons that are as good as the ones we, the Baby 1, just picked out randomly.]

Upon reaching the shortest path within the outward-spreading Purge range, Qin Su, seeing the comments on the screen, thought, "..."

The phrase "There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me" has become a concrete reality.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Su frantically racked his brains, trying to recall which heavy weapons, besides those on his own, had colors that didn't clash with his Combat Suit.

Qin Su did not see He Muzhi and the others following closely behind him through the Visual Helmet, so he waited for a while.

If the Purge Zone Divider Device is removed in advance, and no one is acting together in the surrounding area, insects may take advantage of the situation after he leaves his original position.

He also took this opportunity to observe the current state of the route that needed to be cleared.

After all, in just one night, there were many fish carcasses of varying sizes outside the barrier, either hunted and bitten to death by insects or killed by crashing into the Barrier Device.

The largest, sheet-like fish carcass blocking his path... no, judging from the condition of its eyes and lips, although its upper body was gnawed and pitted, and many insects were intermittently gnawing at it, it wasn't completely dead yet, so it wasn't considered a corpse.

It didn't taste very good; after taking a few bites, the different types of insects scattered.

As they dispersed, many bits of fish meat that had been bitten off were spat out of the insects' mouths, scattering red and white fragments.

Besides the largest and most obstructive fish, there were quite a few insects gathered not far from the Barrier Device after accumulating overnight.

The fish in this world are basically no different from those in the Real World, and the unusual insects among the fish can be easily identified.

Fish are everything the residents of Vagakupo depend on for survival. During the Purge, apart from a few crazy people, most of the students who knew this fact would spontaneously avoid harming the normal fish. Of course, normal fish casualties could not be completely avoided.

During the brief observation break, I mentally made some minor adjustments to the plan based on the obstacles along the route.

This cleaning route is the shortest in the entire team, and he needs to complete it as quickly as possible, in front of everyone, to match the position of the other students.

When the enormous creature approaches, he won't be so deep in the depression of the Purge Zone that his classmates will discover the secret that the monster is heading straight for him.

This also helps avoid causing trouble for other classmates, and allows you to shift from a concave to a convex position, naturally making yourself stand out in the crowd.

He Muzhi and his group did not have a submarine and relied on their Combat Suits to move through the water. Even though they were following Qin Su at full speed, they only had three days of experience using Underwater Combat Suits in unfamiliar waters, including today, and they were no match for Qin Su.

When they finally caught sight of Qin Su, they found Qin Su standing motionless.

The faint light emitted by the Barrier Device enveloped Qin Su in a halo. With his back to them, they couldn't see the Qin Su on his face.

But their failure to act first clearly indicates they were waiting for them.

He Muzhi and the others were not in the same place. Seeing this situation, they couldn't help but glance at each other across the deep black water.

There wasn't much light in the water. Unless they were illuminated by the continuous bursts of light from the weapons firing and explosions, they could only see each other's expressions by the light. Now that they were far apart, they naturally couldn't see what expressions were on each other's faces. They could only see the red dots on the overall cleanup map that marked each person's name.

Even so, they could imagine the other party's guilty conscience.

'Trying to make a good impression on Qin Su... Making Qin Su wait for them from the very beginning, and who knows how long, is tantamount to giving Qin Su a less than good impression from the start.'

'No matter how tolerant Qin Su is, they can't always be so shameless as to pretend they don't care.'

Through the Visual Helmet, Qin Su saw his classmates suddenly stop a short distance behind him, then look at each other strangely. He didn't understand, but it didn't delay his plan. He took a deep breath and picked up the Repelling Barrier Device.

As Qin Su Repelling Barrier Device, the carcasses of fish that had died from impacts with the Repelling Ring Barrier floated into the barrier's interior.

Sensing a fishy stench, Qin Su activated the red Light Wave emanating from his body. As the streamlined red lines lit up in the darkness, the insects that had been lingering outside the Barrier Device were attracted and quickly swam towards Qin Su in the water.

Before everything began, while waiting, Qin Su had already mentally rehearsed the scene several times, appearing as if he hadn't heard the insects rushing towards him at extremely high speed.

Qin Su calmly and deliberately turned off the Barrier Device, intentionally letting danger approach him to stir up the emotions of the Viewers both on and off the screen, making their hearts race for him. When the problem was solved, they would give him the maximum feedback in terms of goodwill and bullet comments.

"!"

In this situation, He Muzhi and the others knew that Qin Su was very strong, and they could not control their worry for Qin Su. Their pupils suddenly contracted, and their bodies, which had been frozen in place, moved rapidly towards their respective assigned Purge routes.

As long as they turn off the Barrier Device in time and activate the red attracting Light Waves on their bodies, the insects that are attacking Qin Su in a group will be attracted to them.

Seeing his classmates' actions clearly, Qin Su understood that they meant well and wanted him to share the burden.

But...

I'm sorry, he doesn't need it at the moment.

Everything that is presented before us now is something he did on purpose.

He Muzhi and the others were already in position. The Viewers was excited. The students from Team 3 had also arrived. By adjusting the parameters of the Visual Helmet and knowing the impending artillery fire, they could clearly see his every move. According to the speed at which the insects swam, they would soon surround and tear him apart.

Everyone, take your positions.

It was his turn to perform.

Qin Su activated Full-Band Communication, deliberately making sure everyone could clearly hear his every move.

When He Muzhi's outstretched hand was still some distance from the Barrier Device, he heard a soft click sound through the Full-Band Communication.

Qin Su used his left hand to attach the Barrier Device to the designated location on his Combat Suit within the planned timeframe, while simultaneously extending his right hand behind his back...

In the tense and dangerous situation, the sudden sound made He Muzhi and the other students who had also heard it pause for a moment.

Although stunned, everyone's eyes still unconsciously lingered on Qin Su, who was on the verge of danger.

The insects didn't stop even though they paused for less than a second.

'Damn it! How could they even be distracted in a situation like this!'

When everyone finally realized what was happening, they saw that the swarming insects were less than ten meters away from Qin Su. They cursed under their breath, their hearts pounding in their throats.

At the critical moment, in everyone's sight, Qin Su calmly and effortlessly took the Plasma Cannon from behind his back with one hand while pressing the start button.

"!"

This behavior is very dangerous; if there isn't enough time, it could hit the person using the weapon directly.

Normally, they would carry the Plasma Cannon on their shoulder and make sure their shoulder could withstand the recoil before activating it.

However, it takes a certain amount of time for the Plasma Cannon to start, charge, and fire. Based on the insects' current position relative to Qin Su, if Qin Su doesn't start it in advance, the insects will reach Qin Su before the Plasma Cannon can be used, and then bombard him. Plasma Cannon starts too late, it will explode within a safe distance, which will still affect and damage Qin Su himself.

Plasma Cannon explodes, it can indiscriminately sweep away any living creature within a five-meter radius, shattering it into irregular chunks of flesh through a physical explosion.

Even though Qin Su was wearing a protective suit, unlike the insects without protective suits that would be torn apart in the blink of an eye, it would still cause some damage. It is rumored that someone once accidentally hit a person wearing a protective suit with Plasma Cannon while testing it, and the person who was hit fell to the ground and lost consciousness on the spot.

For a moment, no one knew whether the insects in front of them were more dangerous or Qin Su's own actions were more dangerous. Their worries about Qin Su and their anxiety at being unable to help overwhelmed them, leaving them both anxious and confused, their minds in a mess.

[I'm so anxious! Hurry up! I can't even watch the next scene. If Qin Su is alright, come back to this page and tell me so I can watch it again.]

Even though it's obvious to anyone that Qin Su couldn't possibly be in trouble, I'm still terrified.

Be careful, you might accidentally mess things up and kill yourself.

[What a jinx! I was surprised to see he still has Plague God on his homepage. Such unwavering love! Too bad he's dead as good as dead, haha.]

[Bullshit! Didn't you see that recently a body was pulled from ice on a planet that looks exactly like our baby? Even if it's not our baby, it's a clone using our baby's genes, otherwise there's no way to explain the resemblance.]

[Say "baby" to him every time, the date is perfect, might as well burn some more paper money for him (rolls eyes)]

From the moment Qin Su began his performance, he focused on himself, ignoring the comments and his classmates. His eyes were fixed on the insects getting closer and closer. After activating the Plasma Cannon and smoothly slung it over his shoulder.

Almost the instant he felt the weight on his shoulder, the Plasma Cannon, already fully charged, detached from its muzzle and headed straight for the largest insect among the insects that Qin Su had already aimed at.

Boom!

With a muffled sound in the water, Qin Su felt the familiar recoil on his shoulder the instant the Plasma Cannon he fired exploded upon contact with the largest insect.

In the instant of the explosion, the purple energy from the Plasma Cannon radiated outwards from the central worm like a spiderweb, creating a trail of sparks and lightning that instantly scorched and shattered the worms within a five-meter radius into countless fragments of varying sizes.

Five meters.

Within his estimated safe range for Plasma Cannon explosions.

Seeing the explosion distance displayed on the Visual Helmet, Qin Su's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, quietly settled down.

Seven days of practice had not been in vain. Although this was his sixteenth successful attempt at this technique, Qin Su still felt a quiet sense of joy at his success.

Having never had a successful experience, he wouldn't dare risk his life unless absolutely necessary.

Even if he has a bug Life Points, he still doesn't want to lose an arm or a leg, because if he cripples himself, his comic's popularity might plummet.

After all, his entrance wasn't set up with some kind of 'wheelchair boss' setup; he had to ensure that his limbs weren't disabled.

So, between training sessions, he was bombed 183 times while fully armed and wearing countless layers of protective clothing.

Of course, all of them were blown up before the 15th successful attempt.

Fortunately, he always wore enough protective gear, and he had learned from experience to be blast-resistant and fast. Usually, when he failed, the Plasma Cannon would either only hit the Plasma Cannon itself or hit his back, which was covered by several layers of protective gear.

After he figured it out and became more skilled, he wasn't blown up again in the last 15 attempts.

That's why he dares to act so recklessly now.

Amidst the irregular purple light that exploded wildly in all directions like a net, Qin Su stood in a safe position facing the exploding Plasma Cannon, the light reflecting off his face making his facial features appear and disappear.

While maintaining his grip on the Barrier Device, He Muzhi stiffly looked from his own perspective and could only see Qin Su's calm and expressionless profile illuminated by the dazzling purple light.

The scene that had just been so dangerous that it almost stopped their hearts seemed to Qin Su nothing more than commonplace and insignificant.

He Muzhi swallowed hard, hearing his heart pounding wildly in his chest.

'As expected of Qin Su!'

'As expected, he still knew too little about Qin Su.'

'But then again, is this something he can learn?'

He Muzhi began to mentally review Qin Su's every move and consider the possibilities.

[So cool! Waves of purple light flashed before Su Bao's eyes, and the curves of the shadows cast by each flash revealed Su Bao's superior facial features. There was no weird or distorted imagery at all. It's true that as long as you have a good-looking face, you can withstand any kind of death ray.]

[Ahhh, I knew it! Boss 1 never does anything he's not sure of! My heart is saved now!]

[It's all just how comic book artists like to draw things. Talking about how handsome someone is in a two-dimensional drawing is utter nonsense. If you put Qin Su in our three-dimensional world under our death rays, who knows how distorted he would be.]

[There are so many sour grapes jumping up and down lately. It's just because they rescued an Alpha who looks like a Plague God, and a bunch of lunatics are back at it again. Let's ignore them, everyone. I love these kinds of dramatic moments where Boss 1 shot effortlessly turns the tide. I wouldn't get tired of it even if it happened a hundred times.]

[Although it was very exciting, Su Bao, listen to me, once is enough. We absolutely must do it again next time; it's too stimulating and bad for my heart.]

[Every move Boss Su makes is impossible to replicate. Although he doesn't apply for a patent, he gets one without even having to apply for one after he's done it.]

[Mu Bao, listen to your sister. Learning everything will only get you killed. This is nothing to Qin Su, after all, he's not human (Die Jia: I mean a god, I absolutely don't mean to vilify Qin Su), but you are a living, breathing person.]

[I get it! When Pheromone levels reach a terrifyingly high level, a person automatically transforms into a god (taking notes. jpg)]

"!!!"

'You can do that?!'

'Or, is it actually not so dangerous to activate the Plasma Cannon prematurely?'

'I'll go back and think of a way to try using a robot today!'

Seeing this scene, whether it was He Muzhi and the others who were relatively close to Qin Su, or Lifi and the others who were far away, they were all so shocked that they were temporarily speechless, forgetting what they had just wanted to do, and their hearts were filled with a variety of emotions such as relief, admiration, and shock.

In the brief moment when the insects closest to him were affected, Qin Su took a quick glance at the comments and the expressions on the faces of his classmates behind him, and then admired for a second the surge in his Life Points from the comments and his classmates.

There are no Pheromones or gods here; it's just a matter of practice and skill honed through repeated trials and tribulations.

Quickly withdrawing his gaze from the barrage of comments, Qin Su regrouped, his entire body once again entering a state of high tension.

What appears to be a thrilling and exciting scene for everyone is merely an appetizer in his plan.

He's waiting.

Based on his understanding of Plasma Cannons from his recent high-frequency use of them, a Plasma Cannon shot would return to calm after five seconds.

That will be the time for him to act again.

Five seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

Almost the instant the last hissing purple light of the Plasma Cannon disappeared, Qin Su deliberately used one hand to easily pull the Plasma Cannon back to its original position. Then, before anyone could recover from their confusion and astonishment, he darted away like lightning.

Whether it was Class 6 or Class 66, they were both surprised and suspicious. They felt that their hearts hadn't even settled down before Qin Su started his actions, the trajectory of which they could not see.

"!"

"I'm going crazy! What is Qin Su going to do now? My heart can't take it!"
