Chapter 158
"What... what do we do now?"
"How could they do this...?"
"We just don't want to go out, is it really necessary to do this?" Anyone who didn't know better would think they had broken some kind of cardinal rule.
Hearing the constant complaints, Onion's face grew increasingly grim. He hissed, "Shut up, what's all the noise about?"
Onion glanced at Kangnafu and the others. Kangnafu and the others, used to this, understood what he meant. They nodded slightly, fully armed, and walked towards the front of the hatch. Not knowing what Qin Su was thinking, they could only place their hopes on prayer.
This was the first time they had encountered a class that didn't care about their family backgrounds at all. Knowing that their lives were in danger, they couldn't be arrogant at all.
[A group of monkeys, all the same way of tying them up? All those fancy tricks are useless in front of the fearless Qin Su.]
[You wouldn't believe it, would you? They were just using guns to bolster their courage; they're scared too.]
This is what people with a guilty conscience are like.
[They're just bullies who prey on the weak. When other Military Academy students came to their school for exchange studies, even though they were senior students from those schools, just because their names were the same as Onion's, he and his gang secretly cut out their tongues, saying they'd never be able to pronounce their own names again. They even told the public that their tongues were bitten off by insects. What's more, people actually believed this nonsense. The person couldn't defend himself and jumped off the teaching building of the First Military Academy. In the end, it was said that he committed suicide due to depression. What depressed person could have good grades enough to go on an exchange program with another school?]
The Fourth Military Academy Class 6) walked up to the Spaceship where the First Military Academy Class 6) was, looked at the tightly closed hatch, and frowned in confusion.
It was already 1:59. Adhering to the principle of not wasting time, the students of Class 6) exchanged glances.
Fearing that the people inside might still be asleep and unable to hear, He Muzhi looked at Sophia and the others.
Upon meeting He Muzhi's gaze, they nodded silently, indicating that they understood.
Even though they knew Qin Su was watching them from behind and wouldn't let anything happen to them, they forced themselves not to rely on Qin Su for everything. This was the result Qin Su wanted to see after all the relentless training he had given them.
He Muzhi raised his hand and made a familiar gesture, and the students of Class 6) immediately lined up in a well-trained manner.
While they might have been elbowed on the way here, when faced with real danger, the two months they spent at the Funeral Home showed them countless ways of dying. In the face of fragile lives, they dared not be ambiguous at all.
They did this all the time when facing Prisoners on the Maikafukeclai Planet, so skillfully that they could stand in their familiar, offensive and defensive formation in no more than five seconds with their eyes closed.
He Muzhi and Sophia stood sideways to the left and right, responsible for knocking on the door to wake up those inside. If they hadn't come out by the time it was time, they were most likely sleeping. They were from the First Military Academy Class 6.
According to rumors, the First Military Academy is capable of doing something like this.
Beside them stood a group of students, each ready for battle. Facing the First Military Academy cabin door were a group of students led by Sheng Shuang and Jeffrey, one standing and half crouching with their hands on their weapons.
After a few seconds of preparation, He Muzhi and Sophia exchanged a glance, raised their hands, and simultaneously slammed their fists against the closed hatch.
To save time and ensure the person inside could hear them with a single slap, both of them used considerable force.
Bang!
The synchronized banging on the door sent a chill down the spines of everyone at the First Military Academy who were watching this scene through the Spaceship's external monitoring cameras.
After knocking on the door, the two noticed the dent in their palms and quickly looked away guiltily, pretending nothing had happened.
'Oh no, I went way too far.'
Raymond skillfully turned on the hands-free device and shouted, "Open the door!"
I know you heard me.
"Don't hide inside and keep quiet!"
Qin Su: "..."
Let alone the First Military Academy Class 6), if he didn't know the truth and saw this situation, he would also be scared.
Given that during his planning, Onion attempted to maneuver the Spaceship away, violating the rule of a 500-meter distance and affecting the implementation of his plan, he had no intention of clearing up the misunderstanding between the two (Class 6.
The students from the First Military Academy were first taken aback by the loud banging on the door, and then they heard Raymond's provocative voice. They looked at each other in bewilderment.
"A final warning?"
"That must be it. What is Qin Su incapable of doing? Should we explain to Qin Su that we were never targeting him? We were just annoyed by He Muzhi and his group."
"Are you out of your mind? Look at how little respect Qin Su and He Muzhi have for us. Normally, anyone would have just blasted the door open with their weapons, but look at them, they're all grabbing weapons and surrounding us, trying to force the hatch open with their own strength. They're clearly showing off and provoking us."
As Raymond finished speaking, Sophia and He Muzhi exchanged a puzzled glance, their eyes conveying the same meaning:
'Didn't they hear you knocking too softly?'
The doubt in their eyes faded, Sophia and He Muzhi each looked away, raising their hands again towards another intact spot, preparing to exert even more force to try and successfully knock on the door...
Hiding inside, he nervously pretended to be dead. He could clearly see from the surveillance video that He Muzhi and Sophia had no intention of letting them go. After frowning in displeasure, he raised his hand again, intending to break down the door with his bare hands.
"Wait a moment."
Faced with the choice between smashing open the hatch, which would only further enrage the other side, and proactively opening the hatch to defuse the tense atmosphere, Onion chose the latter.
He told his father that the First Military Academy had angered Qin Su, and that he wanted to leave, but his father told him not to act rashly.
He naturally wouldn't listen and secretly tried to connect to the Spaceship to escape. He could connect, but the function of controlling the Spaceship to leave the Hyperspace Jump landing platform was as if it had failed and he couldn't use it no matter what. Even if he was stupid, he guessed through his attempts that Qin Su was most likely the one who did something.
' Qin Su's reason for not letting them leave was to keep them around for Class 6) to play with.'
This conjecture was strongly confirmed when witnessing all of this unfolded before their eyes.
The hatch opened in response to Onion's voice.
Suddenly hearing Onion's voice, and watching the dented part disappear from view as the hatch opened, He Muzhi and Sophia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, their gazes fixed on Onion...
'No, where are the Onion people? Why are they all other people? Traditionally, shouldn't the Class Monitor be standing in the most visible spot, like Qin Su?'
Not seeing Onion, the Fourth Military Academy Class 6 had a jumble of thoughts running through their minds, their eyes searching for Onion's figure among the crowd of the First Military Academy Class 6.
"To catch the thief, first catch the king." If you want the other students in First Military Academy Class 6 to follow, you must have Onion take the lead.
But...
After the search ended, although the students of Fourth Military Academy Class 6 did not find Onion, they saw the students of the First Military Academy dressed in neat clothes, and thought that they must have misunderstood.
The First Military Academy had no intention of slacking off or avoiding action; otherwise, they wouldn't be fully armed and ready to go out and carry out Purge operation.
"Onion." Thinking of this, He Muzhi raised his voice and simply called out the other person's name.
Even when called upon, Onion showed no intention of coming out. He could see clearly from behind that the group of people from the Fourth Military Academy Class 6 had not removed their hands from their weapons.
"What's up?"
Onion spoke up from behind the crowd, feeling for the first time that he was only 1.77 meters tall; otherwise, if the other party had really started fighting, even a human wall wouldn't have been able to stop him.
Judging from the sound, He Muzhi looked straight ahead and saw only the person blocking Onion 'Onion way.
He recognized the man; it was Temple, the sixth son of a collateral branch of the Benignan family. They had played together for two years when they were children, and later Temple was given to Onion by the Banion Family.
When Temple left to say goodbye, she told him that if he did a good job, he would become Onion's butler and have a bright future.
Temple now has a grotesque scar that runs from his forehead down his face to his mouth. When he looks at him, Temple remains silent, meeting his gaze without making a move away.
Not wanting to embarrass Temple, He Muzhi quickly glanced at him and then looked away, his gaze settling on the red Onion Combat Suit peeking out from Temple's arm. He relayed Qin Su's order, "It's time to launch the Purge operation."
Onion: "?"
'Did these people from the Fourth Military Academy go to such lengths, all this tension and brinkmanship, just for this purpose?'
'Haha, nobody would believe that.'
'They're probably trying to lure them out of what's still relatively safe; who knows what dangerous things they'll do to them.'
Despite his thoughts, Onion was too afraid to utter a word of refusal, whether it was the row of cannons pointing directly at them in the distance or Qin Su standing below Onion, expressionless and coldly watching him through a transparent helmet.
"Hmm," Onion responded with difficulty.
With the mission accomplished, He Muzhi looked at the rest of his class.
When Sheng Shuangjie met He Muzhi's gaze, he raised his hand and made a gesture to his classmates in that row. The students from Class 6 of the First Military Academy immediately dispersed.
Seeing a Passageway in the middle, He Muzhi looked in Onion's direction. "Let's go."
Many students at the First Military Academy had a history of misconduct, and he dared not risk letting them walk behind his classmates.
If anything were to happen, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Qin Su.
"... Um."
Looking at the road leading directly to Qin Su, which had been cleared by the Fourth Military Academy (6), Onion felt increasingly uneasy. He whispered to his platoon in the full-screen communication, "Go."
Every move made by the Fourth Military Academy Class 6 showed that his guess was correct.
Qin Su> Fourth Military Academy Class 6) > Onion> First Military Academy Class 6)
In this food chain, the students at the bottom of the food chain First Military Academy Class 6, gritted their teeth and slowly approached Qin Su. During this time, they thought about all the bad things they had done in their lives.
The Fourth Military Academy Class 6) spontaneously walked on both sides and behind the First Military Academy Class 6), and together they strode towards Qin Su with their heads held high. Their eyes temporarily lost their fear of the First Military Academy, and only had the expression of 'seeking praise' for successfully completing the Qin Su mission.
Qin Su: "..."
Wait a minute, what's the meaning of the First Military Academy coming without any supplies? They're already so wealthy, do they really want to freeload off the Fourth Military Academy's supplies?
'Shameless.'
The thought of being taken advantage of by someone richer than himself and with whom he had no connection whatsoever brought out Qin Su's stingy nature, and he couldn't give the students of the First Military Academy Class 6 a friendly look.
Qin Su stared resentfully.
They tried to use their death stare to make the First Military Academy Class 6 have a change of heart and stop trying to take advantage of the Fourth Military Academy's supplies.
The students of Fourth Military Academy Class 6 keenly noticed that although their Class Monitor still had the familiar cold demeanor, the atmosphere had become even more tense.
'They completed the task too slowly, and the Class Monitor wasn't very satisfied? Or... was he unhappy because he saw the First Military Academy Class 6?'
The students of Fourth Military Academy Class 6 suppressed their expectant expressions, glancing at First Military Academy Class 6 while secretly hoping that it was the latter.
After all, the Class Monitor was looking at the students from the First Military Academy, not them.
As the First Military Academy Class 6 drew closer to Qin Su, they clearly sensed the cold and hostile look in Qin Su's eyes and swallowed hard.
With tigers in front and wolves behind, they had nowhere to escape.
The First Military Academy Class 6 like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water. Qin Su had no choice but to seek other solutions. He couldn't openly criticize the First Military Academy for taking advantage of the Fourth Military Academy and expose his stinginess.
Using the Optical Brain that was already linked to control the First Military Academy's Spaceship, the items from the First Military Academy's supply depot were moved to the Warship by transport robots.
During the transport, Qin Su's envy and jealousy towards the First Military Academy reached its peak.
Faced with the superior supplies of the Fourth Military Academy compared to those of the First Military Academy... Qin Su put himself in their shoes and felt inferior.
Not to mention the abundance and sophistication of their supplies, items like small arms were mostly carried out manually when the Fourth Military Academy was on missions.
Even weapons the size of a hand are handled by specialized robots at the First Military Academy.
That's not all; the different weapon-carrying robots also have the names of different students on them, and there are warehouses labeled with different names, clearly indicating that they are their private property.
They were clearly there to carry out a mission, but it was as if they were afraid the children would get tired. There were also countless sets of cooking equipment for extremely cold places and cold storage for various high-end ingredients. Everything was arranged clearly.
This was the first time Qin Su had ever seen a Zerg Purge so dignifiedly.
Qin Su, feeling a bit sour, carried the supplies to the corresponding Warships. He then chose a Warship that was unmarked and was probably provided to all the students of the First Military Academy Class 6. He then carried the weapons and food that he had his eye on, which the Fourth Military Academy did not provide or did not provide to them, onto the ship.
They justifiably accepted it as payment for his carrying the goods.
The First Military Academy Class 6) had fewer people than them, but their supplies were many times greater.
Anyway, they can't use it all, and based on the persona they've created for themselves, it's perfectly fine for their 'labor costs' to be a little 'higher'.
He wanted to show the First Military Academy with facts that there was no way they could take advantage of the Fourth Military Academy; their doors were welded shut.
Let them bleed heavily this time, and see if they dare to do it again...
Considering the abundance of weapons and food, he hoped they would try again next time.
Qin Su: "..."
'Indeed, the human heart is the most uncontrollable thing; look, he can't even control his own heart.'
Despite their reluctance, the First Military Academy Class 6 stopped a meter away from Qin Su, determined not to take another step forward.
Having no other option, He Muzhi looked to Qin Su, who was representing his classmates, to report, "Class Monitor, they've arrived."
"Um."
After finishing the move, Qin Su, who had received a generous reward, was in high spirits. In order not to appear smug, he tried his best to keep his voice low.
He Muzhi thought Qin Su would arrange for them to return to the Spaceship to retrieve the weapons needed for the afternoon's Purge. Unexpectedly, after hearing Qin Su's indifferent "hmm," he heard a commotion coming from a distance behind him.
The others heard it too, and instinctively looked at Qin Su's expression first. Seeing that Qin Su didn't say anything, they turned to look at him.
The First Military Academy Class 6 cautiously turned their heads, following the students from Fourth Military Academy Class 6.
In the instant everyone looked over, countless Warships marched in formation toward them, some landing behind them, others landing...
"!"
The students of First Military Academy Class 6 gasped in shock. Qin Su... when did he even gain control of their Spaceship? Entering their Spaceship was like entering an empty field. How could Onion, the Class Monitor, possibly be a leader...?
Seeing that all of Onion's Warships had landed on the side of Fourth Military Academy Class 6, which was behind Qin Su, the students of First Military Academy Class 6 shrank their pupils, their eyes lingering on Qin Su and Onion. They didn't dare to breathe, and became even more cautious and fearful.
What did Onion say to them when they enrolled?
Ah, it seems that 'only nameless people need to brand their own mark on objects; someone like him doesn't need to do anything, everyone knows what belongs to him, Onion.'
As everyone knows, Qin Su is all-knowing, so it's impossible that he didn't know those things belonged to Onion.
So, Qin Su deliberately took all the Warships belonging to Onion into his possession.
This is tantamount to rubbing Onion's face into the ground.
[Onion's Warship! This wasn't a punishment from Boss Su; I won't have my kitten to sleep with tonight.]
That's really vicious.
Qin Su: "..."
Since it's already happened, let's just pretend we didn't see it.
Onion's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "..."
Fourth Military Academy Class 6): "!"
No wonder the Class Monitor wanted the people from the First Military Academy to come out; it turns out he wanted to rob their supplies.
It seems that the Class Monitor, like them, dislikes the First Military Academy.
Qin Su was very satisfied with his work, but puzzled by the lingering gazes fixed on him. "Is there a problem?"
Qin Su's words were clearly meant to target them. The hearts of the students from the First Military Academy skipped a beat, and they shook their heads vigorously.
No, no.
"No problem..."
"Of course not, that's not true."
Judging from Qin Su's current actions, the person being targeted the most is Onion. They... if they don't want to become Qin Su's target in place of Onion, they'd better behave themselves.
Onion: "..."
First, they controlled the Spaceship to prevent him from leaving, and then they precisely selected his Warship from among many people. Onion felt increasingly uneasy and frantically sent SOS messages to his father.
Seeing that even the people at the First Military Academy agreed with his act of receiving payment for his work, Qin Su was satisfied and sent a copy of the planned route to the First Military Academy as well.
Trying to get him to listen to others... that won't work. He's already made his plans; he can't let them go to waste.
Since he couldn't cooperate with the First Military Academy, he had to make the First Military Academy cooperate with him.
The students of First Military Academy Class 6 were still mourning for Onion when they saw a message from Qin Su appear on their Optical Brain.
Clicking on it revealed the action route, but nothing else. The students of First Military Academy Class 6 were puzzled.
Although they were a meter away from Qin Su, even the people at the very back didn't dare to cricket in front of Qin Su, and could only guess in their small group.
[Have you all received it? (Screenshot)]
[Received, exactly the same (screenshot)]
What does Qin Su mean by this?
[A death route planned for us?]
[... Whether it's true or not, it's already been sent to us directly. It's clearly not a discussion, but a direct notification; disobeying it will likely lead to dire consequences.]
[Even the Spaceships are under Qin Su's control, do we have any other choice?]
Upon seeing the route posted by Qin Su in the group chat, the Fourth Military Academy Class 6 quickly boarded their assigned Warships, which were then controlled by Warship team leaders assigned by Qin Su.
Qin Su boarded a Warship alone.
Regardless of what they were thinking, the students of First Military Academy Class 6 quickly boarded the Warship upon seeing Qin Su's actions.
Standing on the Warship, Qin Su didn't let his entourage move, his gaze fixed on the people from the First Military Academy.
Class Monitor leader Onion hid behind the people from the First Military Academy, showing no intention of making any plans for his students; the First Military Academy might blindly follow them.
Exposing the backs of his classmates to many people at the First Military Academy, a school with a long history of misconduct, was not something Qin Su wanted to see.
Only those from the First Military Academy can go first.
Qin Su didn't want to waste time explaining. In a single glance, he bluntly and forcefully pointed the neatly arranged cannons of the Spaceship overhead at them, using fear to drive them away from the platform.
"!"
Without further hesitation, the students from the First Military Academy boarded their Spaceships and fled out of the Jump Point Platform's barrier, following the designated route.
Nobody wanted to get too close to the Fourth Military Academy, and the students from the First Military Academy were scrambling to leave.
"Let's go." Seeing that it was about time, Qin Su spoke up and took the lead, piloting his Warship ahead of the Fourth Military Academy Class 6, leaping over the barrier.
In the sub-zero temperatures of 100 degrees Celsius, everything around was a vast expanse of white, and any color stood out starkly against this white world.
When the Fourth Military Academy Class 6 first enrolled, some people wore special Combat Suit provided by their families. Qin Su, however, had never been so unconventional. They followed suit, and now everyone was dressed neatly, all in black.
The First Military Academy Class 6 was dressed in a mess. Even people like Temple, who were sent by their respective families, were wearing servant Combat Suit that matched their masters. Of the more than 400 people, less than 30% were actually wearing the First Military Academy's standard extreme cold Combat Suit.
Under the constant temperature of the air shield at the Jump Point, it was fine as long as it wasn't covered by any white ice and snow. But when it was covered in white snow, it looked messy and chaotic.
Dressed in black, Qin Su stood between the uniformly dressed Fourth Military Academy and the First Military Academy, like an insurmountable dividing line.
Half an hour passed, and looking at the crack-like structures crawling across the entire Glacier ahead, Qin Su decisively raised his hand to make a stop gesture. "Stop."
