The people from the Fourth Military Academy never imagined that the dense, unconcealed cannons around them, which had not long ago been the death knell for that group, would now turn around and become their own.

'Sure enough, the show wasn't going to be that interesting; this melon is ripe but deadly.'

The students in Class 6) were mostly standing at the front of the line, so they couldn't see the anxious expressions on the faces of the other students from the Fourth Military Academy behind them as Qin Su turned around. The moment Qin Su turned around, his back was straight and his face showed undisguised anticipation.

My mind was basically filled with the thought that 'the Class Monitor must entrust them with important responsibilities'.

[Other classes: Oh no, we saw something we shouldn't have seen, we're going to die (crying);]

(Class 6: Ordinary people wouldn't even get to see this, but Qin Su let us see it—that's blatant trust!

[(Facepalm) No wonder she got into Class 6, her thought process is definitely different from other people]

Qin Su wanted the students from Class 6 to take the soldiers from the Level 4 Danger Zone away for observation, but he noticed that the students from other classes of the Fourth Military Academy were looking at him strangely. Sensing something was wrong, Qin Su glanced at the barrage.

"?"

His elaborate, "polite" attempt to lure the other man into a trap was less effective than the students' quick thinking and immediate attempt to frame him.

Fortunately, he didn't intend to ask the other classes of the Fourth Military Academy to do things for him; given their peculiar thought processes, they would probably overthink it.

With a resentful look away from the other classes at the Fourth Military Academy, Qin Su turned to Class 6) and said succinctly, "Everyone in Class 6 the Class of 27 cohort, within ten minutes, move everyone who has been Vaccine in the Level 4 Danger Zone to the same room."

The students are very experienced in moving things and will completely obey his orders, doing whatever he tells them to do. They will never touch anything they shouldn't, and they have developed a complete system for being cautious.

Basically, he doesn't need to say anything; they can form well-established teams and each perform their respective duties.

He doesn't look at the process, only the result.

"Receive!"

A chorus of responses rang out.

The students from the Fourth Military Academy breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qin Su's cold, warning gaze no longer lingering on them. But then they heard Qin Su exclude them and issue a task specifically to Class 6). Their feelings were complicated.

Before they could think too much, they saw He Muzhi, Sophia, and a few others leading the way. Without Qin Su saying anything more, they dispersed with clear division of labor and carried out their actions in an orderly manner.

He Muzhi and several others who appeared to be the leaders, each carrying the previously provided M-6050 weapons and matching ammunition, headed towards the entrance to the Level 4 Danger Zone.

The weapon in one's hand may not be as lethal as other weapons, but if it hits a vital spot, it can still kill.

Under Qin Su's tutelage, no one was better at attacking vital points than their (Class 6.

Vaccinated individuals infected with the Vaccine will no longer experience a "Living Dead" state; in case of unforeseen circumstances, the M-6050 is sufficient.

Sophia and the other team leaders and members approached Gallagher and asked him for the Anesthetic.

Some of the soldiers who were infected with the Virus were in a state of extreme fear. Their improved health did not make them believe that they would not be punished, and there was a possibility that someone would attack other uninfected people.

Moreover, since the Level 4 Danger Zone was some distance away from them, the soldiers below wouldn't have heard their conversation even after they regained consciousness.

Although it was despicable for the soldiers to want to be infected, the Class 6 had to take precautions just in case.

(6) As the students were acting, Qin Su, based on the fact that everyone present agreed that he was the commander-in-chief, naturally used their personal Optical Brain to issue the same order to the army they had brought with them.

Along with the instructions, a command was also issued for them to assemble outside.

Norian and the others watched helplessly as their personal Optical Brain issued commands beyond their control, their furtive glances at Qin Su revealing unspoken words.

This further confirmed that Qin Su didn't need to persuade them at all and could do whatever he wanted.

What about all the threats we made against them before?

'Somewhat polite, but not much?'

It would take some time before the others arrived from their respective War Zones. Qin Su strode towards the room he had chosen earlier, his mind clear. As he passed the students from the three classes of the third graduating class of the Fourth Military Academy, he said, "Follow me."

Even if you don't know them well, you can't go wrong if you entrust them with small tasks like moving things.

"!"

"Yes!"

After their initial surprise, the students from the three classes quickly followed behind Qin Su.

Upon arriving at a rectangular door, the people from the Fourth Military Academy did not see Qin Su perform any authorization verification at the Restricted Zone. They only saw Qin Su reach the door, the Restricted Zone flash a green light for passage, and then instantly retract upwards.

Qin Su walked in without any hindrance.

The room Qin Su was facing was completely empty.

They didn't understand why Qin Su wanted to bring them to this room. Despite feeling uneasy, the terrifying thought popped into their minds that Qin Su had sent Class 6) away and brought them inside to resolve the matter.

Despite their hesitation, they had no choice but to follow, but when they were still three steps away from the open door, they heard Qin Su say to them in a commanding tone, "Wait."

With just two words, all three classes, regardless of whether they were from the upper or lower grades, stopped moving forward in unison, and the anxiety in their hearts quietly subsided.

'With Class 6 gone, they felt completely unsafe; they were genuinely terrified of being alone with Qin Su in a confined space.'

Before the Fourth Military Academy students could catch their breath, the metal door that had been open suddenly collapsed from above.

With a soft 'bang,' the door slammed shut against the wall, completely blocking their view.

"...?"

The people from the Fourth Military Academy waited, completely bewildered.

As Qin Su's figure disappeared from sight, the crowd still gathered in the circular corridor of the Level 4 Danger Zone looked at each other in bewilderment. Their confusion was no less than that of the people from the Fourth Military Academy. Unfortunately, the people from Class 6, who were closest to Qin Su, were not around. They didn't even have anyone to glean any information about Qin Su's thoughts.

"What does Qin Su mean by this?"

"You're asking a question as if I already know the answer."

"So... should we continue standing here?"

"Otherwise what? Qin Su hasn't said a word, and those rows of weapons around us, capable of instantly turning us into a bloody mist if activated, haven't been put away. Do you dare to run around?"

"... I wouldn't dare." Who knows if the weapon, supported by the friendship of their planet, would be aimed at him right now?

After a few seconds of awkward silence, someone in the crowd spoke up again.

"To be honest, look at Class 6), they're really professional."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the Passageway. From their vantage point, they could clearly see the exit of the Level 4 Danger Zone all the way to the room chosen by Class 6). On both sides of the Passageway stood rows of Class 6) students holding Tranquilizer Guns, pointing them at the infected people passing through the middle.

A little further ahead of them was another group from Class 6) who were armed. All the infected people in the entire Level 4 Danger Zone were surrounded by armed students who pointed their weapons at them and demanded that they line up and quickly pass through the Passageway between the students from Class 6) who were carrying two different types of weapons.

During this time, several infected people mistakenly thought they were going to be taken away for cleaning. Their survival instinct made them try to grab weapons to resist, but they were immediately knocked down by Anesthetic. Then, the people from Class 6) pointed their weapons at them and let the other infected people take them away with them.

Throughout the entire process, no one in Class 6) had any actual physical contact with the infected person.

The students in Class 6) did not hesitate at all when they started, as if they were used to it and well-trained.

"... Speaking of which, I initially thought that since they were students, seeing this situation—pointing their guns at their own people before even pointing them at the enemy—their hearts would be much softer than ours, these old hands. They would feel sorry for them and show their distress. But now it seems I was overthinking it."

Having seen so many students from Military Academies who, as usual, went to Military District for drills or battlefields for "internships," appearing reserved, soft-hearted, hesitant, etc., at this moment, they only saw in the eyes of Class 6) a resolute determination to "execute Qin Su's orders regardless of the lives of others."

They don't care at all what other people think.

Isn't this a form of cruelty?

"Seriously... anyone who sees this will say, 'No wonder he was trained by Qin Su.'"

Although the others remained silent, they deeply agreed and nodded quietly.

--

Inside the confined space, Qin Su disabled the Electronic Eye and released the box containing the Vaccines, which had been stored within the space at the cost of countless Life Points.

Looking at the messy pile of boxes stacked like a small mountain in front of him, Qin Su knew that it would affect his image if outsiders saw it. So he spent some more Life Points to neatly arrange the boxes, stood in the center of the door, and reopened it.

Whoosh!

The Fourth Military Academy students, who were craning their necks to look ahead, opened the door without any warning. In the instant the door opened, they saw Qin Su facing them with an indifferent expression.

"..."

"!!!"

The people from the Fourth Military Academy instinctively focused their gazes on Qin Su. The next moment, as they suppressed their saliva, they saw the neatly stacked boxes behind Qin Su, each bearing Qin Su's signature letter "S," piled up like a small mountain. Their pupils dilated in shock.

'Vaccine!'

'Still the same number of Vaccines.'

'They remember clearly that when Qin Su went in, there was nothing inside! So... just now, within that one-door barrier, Qin Su used some kind of cutting-edge technology from an unknown planet that they'd never seen before, instantly moving things from that other planet here!'

The scene before them caused the Fourth Military Academy students to momentarily freeze. Stunned, they watched as Qin Su strode towards them, and immediately stepped aside. Despite their efforts to control their emotions, they couldn't stop their chests from heaving and their breathing from becoming rapid.

[How did they manage to do that? Qin Su wasn't carrying any high-tech equipment; he was wearing the same Combat Suit as everyone else from the Fourth Military Academy.]

[Forget it, I knew it! There's no way our King Su only had one box of Vaccines! Waaah, it's Qin Su! We're really saved this time!]

[@Empire, your King Su has arrived]

[Let's speculate rationally: Is it possible that the high-tech equipment on Qin Su, like the Optical Brain in this world, has been implanted and is already bound to Qin Su's body?]

This time, the Plague God of conjunctivitis has truly struck again.

I would call Qin Su the Plague God, the terminator of good days.

[What nonsense! Qin Su didn't even see the Plague God once from beginning to end, so how could he possibly pay attention to what the Plague God was doing? Besides, the Plague God is not what it used to be. Even He Muzhi, who had been with the Plague God the longest, didn't recognize it, let alone Qin Su, who hadn't had much contact with the Plague God. Don't try to pin the Plague God's fate on Qin Su.]

Recalling the Manual Exile Incident, Qin Su felt a pang of guilt. "..."

This time, it seems the blame has been placed squarely on them.

Putting aside his guilty conscience, Qin Su walked through the Passageway among the students and said, "One box each, follow me."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Qin Su's nonchalant command, this time, without the participation of Class 6), the voices of the students from the three classes were deafening.

They were judging others by their own petty standards. Qin Su's purpose was not only to use Vaccines to entrap law enforcement, but Qin Su also prepared Vaccines for other infected individuals.

Qin Su has never forgotten all those infected with the Virus.

The students of the Fourth Military Academy, their minds filled with mixed emotions, rushed into the room, picked up the priceless Vaccine box, and quickly followed Qin Su, raising their heads with the same swiftness as the previous (Class 6.

The students in Class 6) in the next lower area. "?"

'Although I don't know what happened, judging from that commotion, those three classes are definitely trying to curry favor with their Class Monitor, Qin Su, while they're away! They may not understand Qin Su, but they understand everyone else!'

Overwhelmed by a sense of crisis Class 6 moved even faster, eager to complete the task as soon as possible and rush to Qin Su's side, determined to defend Class 6's position in Qin Su's heart.

Having achieved his goal, Qin Su watched as the Life Points on his skin steadily increased, suppressing a smile and continuing to feign indifference as he walked through the crowd.

As Qin Su strode away in the direction he had come from, he caught a glimpse of familiar faces out of the corner of his eye. Some were still in the circular corridor of the Level 4 Danger Zone, looking at the Vaccine area with expressions of shock, greed, and disbelief. Others were jogging towards him without stopping.

As the students from the Fourth Military Academy picked up their suitcases and followed Qin Su, they continuously heard gasps of shock coming from behind them, and they shared the same sentiment.

Not to mention the people behind them, even they themselves were constantly feeling the awe emanating from Qin Su.

Apart from Qin Su, the only one in their group who was somewhat calm was from Class 6).

"Chief Commander Qin, please wait a moment."

Hearing the sound behind him, Qin Su stopped in his tracks, but only looked at the group of people running in front of him without saying a word.

"Um... since you have so many Vaccines, could you give me three as well?"

"Chief Commander, seven of my men have also been infected with the Virus, and their situation is extremely dangerous. Could you give me seven more doses?"

"I..."

A series of voices rang out, all saying basically the same thing.

If it weren't for the concern for their loved ones who were infected with the Virus, and if it weren't for Qin Su bringing the Vaccine kit, they wouldn't have so eagerly walked into his trap, hoping he would give them face.

Qin Su didn't listen for more than a few seconds before interrupting the crowd's incessant requests, coldly and mercilessly saying, "Send them here."

He wanted to ensure that all infected individuals were Vaccine, destroy all information about the Doom473 Virus in the world, and take away the remaining Vaccines to prevent anyone from leaving infected individuals and Vaccines behind for additional research, which would be detrimental to him.

This is a good place; it facilitates unified management and record keeping.

As the Chief Commander, he could check if the accounts matched by comparing the Death List with the Survivor List and the Planetary Support List.

Qin Su said nothing more, ignoring the expressions on the faces of the others, and walked straight past them.

Based on the distance between each War Zone and this location, and their mode of transportation, they should have arrived around this time.

When Qin Su stopped, the Fourth Military Academy students, who were also carrying Vaccine boxes, immediately followed.

A large group of people left in a grand procession.

Watching Qin Su leave, Xuan Jingcheng figured Qin Su was probably watching the Electronic Eyes around him, wary of the rows of weapons that hadn't been put away at all. He whispered to Gallagher, making an excuse to go to the restroom. In the restroom, he typed out the situation on his Optical Brain.

When he sent it, Xuan Jingcheng saw the words "Unable to send" displayed on the encrypted page. "?"

Leichakan means that all people infected with the Virus have to be sent here for centralized management. At first, this was just a nice way of putting it; to put it bluntly, it meant waiting for centralized treatment.

Before the Federation's Vaccine was available, these Military Districts supported by other planets did not want their people to die here, nor could they take their ashes back. They did not want to be mixed with the people here and die sooner or later, so they violated the rules by leaving their infected soldiers in their War Zones.

Unexpectedly, they did as Qin Su wished, but Qin Su remained indifferent as ever, showing no intention of taking care of them and insisting on bringing them together for unified management.

They were practically under Qin Su's nose, with absolutely no room to maneuver.

Hiss, this...

Even if they had their own ulterior motives, those in their respective War Zones with infected individuals, unable to persuade Qin Su, had no choice but to compromise and contact their own people to send the infected here for registration.

With everyone from the Fourth Military Academy gone, the room where the Vaccine had appeared out of nowhere was empty again, leaving them with absolutely no chance to carry out their 'crooked schemes'...

Wait a minute, when He Muzhi went down, he gave Gallagher a Vaccine box!

Recalling this incident, everyone looked for Gallagher's figure, only to find that Gallagher had already stood next to He Muzhi at some point.

"..."

'Hold!'

The students of Class of 27), carrying Vaccine kits and walking confidently at the end of the line, chatted excitedly in hushed tones.

"To be honest, I was really scared to death at first. I thought I was going to be taken to a confined space and suddenly killed. Who would have thought that I would turn misfortune into blessing and become a substitute for Class 6). Just thinking about how we will be standing behind Qin Su and receiving everyone's shocked and worshipful expressions makes me feel excited in advance."

"To think even more positively, the fact that we weren't eliminated means Qin Su considers us from the Fourth Military Academy as his own people, which is why he can do things right in front of us that he would only do in front of someone else?"

"Thinking about it that way, it does make sense."

"Don't get your hopes up. Seriously, even if Qin Su doesn't kill us, would we dare tell anyone?"

"... I really wouldn't dare, but that's not important. What's important is that I'm having a great time right now."

Those who were waiting outside the Restricted Zone used to isolate the infected did not see Qin Su and the group that went in; instead, they were met with hordes of troops from Planetary Military Districts.

Among them were troops from their own Military District.

"No, what brings you here?"

"Who sent you?"

Such questions rang out repeatedly at the forefront of the Military District units on several planets.

Outside the massive convoy, the Military Academy cadets from Leichakan, responsible for continuously transporting the infected in, recalled the scene they had witnessed when they entered. They realized that not only had they arrived, but many more heavily armed soldiers were still waiting outside.

Faced with the questioning, the person who led the team looked bewildered and hurriedly reported that he had received orders from Chief Commander Qin Su.

Upon hearing the words "Chief Commander Qin Su" and seeing the other planetary Military District units standing by, the few people who had stayed outside exchanged glances, seemingly thinking of something. Just as they were about to say something, they heard the sound of the metal door behind them opening.

The group, their minds in turmoil, turned around and saw Qin God Su. Behind Qin Su were several boxes bearing the letter S, the symbol of the Qin Su family.

They remembered clearly that at first only Gallagher went in carrying the same box, so how did so many appear all of a sudden?!

No one wanted this to end as soon as possible; the thought of countless Vaccines inside made everyone's eyes widen in amazement.

Ignoring the strange looks from the crowd, Qin Su stood before them and sent the plan he had prepared beforehand, based on the division of the restricted Restricted Zone and danger zone and the number of people in the other three shifts, to the group chat and their respective Optical Brain of all the Fourth Military Academy personnel traveling this time. He succinctly stated. "Proceed according to plan."

The plan clearly divided the areas into groups for each level of danger. Some groups were responsible for registering and distributing Vaccines, some for training the military personnel assigned to them on Vaccine administration, and some for taking away and resettling infected individuals who had been Vaccine. In addition, a separate group was responsible for keeping the Vaccine research team sent by the Federation government out.

"Receive!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the students who saw their missions on the Optical Brain immediately dispersed, each leading their assigned group of soldiers to different danger zones.

Qin Su activated Full-Band Communication and gave the order to the remaining people in Class 6 behind him and the original Class 6 students inside, "Everyone from Class 6, come with me."

Soldiers and students who are infected but still have hope are about to receive Vaccines. In order to prevent more infections from occurring, it is time for them to deal with the completely incurable infected people outside.

Qin Su heard the responses from the original (Class 6 students almost immediately through the Communication Channel.

The original (Class 6 will catch up as quickly as possible. Qin Su has no intention of waiting for them. He strides through the channel that everyone made Passageway for when they heard that he was leaving. When he thought of the news about Xuan Jingcheng that he had intercepted, he glanced at the image in the Electronic Eye on his skin.

As expected, Qin Su saw that Xuan Jingcheng had led Gallagher and his group out with He Muzhi and the others after only a few words.
