Qin Su was afraid that Xuan Jingcheng would suddenly change his mind and stop trying to get close to He Muzhi like before.

Fortunately, He Wenyuan had changed in every way except for his personality. Qin Su pretended not to notice Xuan Jingcheng's strange behavior, withdrew his gaze, and temporarily ignored it, opening another page to conduct a final check.

Each Military District has different assessment methods, and basically every day records are left on the machines at the instructors and training grounds.

The new interface features a list that he has simply and crudely divided the troops and Military Academy students sent from various planets into two parts based on their assessment scores.

Those ranked lower in overall strength are currently inside, working with their classmates from the Fourth Military Academy to administer Vaccines to infected individuals.

Based on the division of the War Zones Leichakan and agreed upon by the armies from various planets who came to support him, he selected the top-ranked members to form a team.

They were waiting outside.

Similarly, apart from the top 200 students in terms of overall strength, the remaining 799 students in Class 6) will be evenly distributed across 36 War Zones according to the plan.

After checking and finding nothing missing, Qin Su was mobilizing more Electronic Eyes to openly begin patrolling from behind the scenes, he also exposed the weapons that were originally hidden on the surrounding walls of the danger zones. He isolated the Optical Brain signals within the Restricted Zone, allowing people inside the Restricted Zone to use the basic functions of the Optical Brain, but preventing them from sending messages to the outside world.

Since he needed to use the large quantity of weapons that the various Military District had brought over for stockpiling and sale, and didn't want anyone to interfere, Qin Su conveniently deactivated the permissions for the leaders of the Planetary Military Districts to leave the Restricted Zone leaving.

If anyone's to blame, it's that even at this point, they haven't changed their minds and always like to take advantage of times like these to 'dispose of their backlog of inventory'.

One second they saw Qin Su leave, and all the people in Class 6 were taken away by Qin Su. Then they saw soldiers from their own Military District entering one after another. Before they could even be happy, they saw countless Electronic Eyes and familiar weapons. They choked and almost couldn't breathe.

They were 'seized' of power by Qin Su, and dared not be angry or speak out. They were unwilling to leave just like that, but Qin Su did not assign them any tasks and treated them as nothing. People were too busy to pay attention to them, so they could only hide in the Restroom without Electronic Eye and chatter about Qin Su.

' Qin Su clearly knows what they're up to, giving them no chance to do anything underhanded.'

"If you don't understand, just ask. Why is Qin Su so wary of us? He can conjure up so many Vaccines out of thin air, he obviously has no shortage of them, so why won't he even give us an extra one? Isn't that a bit stingy? Hey, do you think Qin Su is afraid we'll discover some secret?"

"I think you're just spouting whatever comes to mind. Qin Su, who can crush us like an ant, is afraid of this? Heh, I think it's quite in line with Qin Su's domineering and autocratic nature; he won't allow us to lay a finger on his possessions."

"But honestly, the Federation is still in the blood sampling and analysis phase, so how did Qin Su manage to never come to Leichakan? And when he did come, he not only knew the name of the Virus, but also brought such a large batch of Vaccines. It's hard not to suspect that Qin Su has some kind of connection with the Empire."

"Old Zhao, you stubborn old man, you still refuse to believe that Qin Su comes from a mysterious planet with more advanced technology than us. I guess this kind of Virus is just emerging here, but on Qin Su's planet, it's already the lowest level among similar Virus. That's why Qin Su knew at a glance which Vaccine could solve the problem."

"Everyone, I reckon the group from Class 6 has left, let's go out too. Staying here, just thinking about the Level 4 Danger Zone is making my psychological trauma keep expanding."

The others silently agreed and left the restroom in groups.

If it weren't for avoiding Class 6) and Qin Su, they wouldn't have ended up needing to go to the bathroom.

Seeing a group of high-ranking military leaders from Planetary Military Districts emerge neatly from the Restroom, the passing soldiers and students resisted the urge to cast strange glances at them.

Once they were far away, the chirping of crickets continued.

"Huh, I thought going to the restroom together was a habit only for elementary and middle school students, they... they're all so old, ugh, hard to judge."

"Perhaps nowadays, it's considered a bad boss if you don't go to the restroom together?"

"Don't speculate. What if they were exchanging pleasantries in the bathroom?"

"I think you'd better shut up. This sounds even weirder, so weird that it's far removed from humanity but very close to God. Note, it's the God of madness, not the God of my God Su."

--

Under the premise that Class 6 ran and Qin Su led the way, Class 6 caught up with Qin Su in no time.

Seeing the new (Class 6 students following Qin Su at a certain distance behind him, the original (Class 6 students cursed them in their hearts for getting there first, but out of consideration for appearances, they did not make a scene in front of Qin Su and followed obediently behind for the time being.

Seeing that Qin Su didn't intend to stop them, Gallagher secretly followed at the back with Xuan Jingcheng and the others.

(Class 6 6 assembled, the group arrived at the actual main entrance of the Suspended Building.

The towering, heavy silver metal door opened before Qin Su approached, and the sun blazed high outside, casting rays of light diagonally downwards.

Because the sun in Leichakan isn't as scorching, and Leichakan doesn't have the extra money to spend on creating Smart Protective Shields around the building layers like other planets, the blinding light is unfiltered and unblocked, dazzling and intensely hot.

Just outside the door, along the edge of the open platform, Warships representing various planets were already waiting.

Knowing full well that the soldiers outside were there on his orders, Qin Su chose a spot in the very center where the sunlight was streaming in, exposing himself to everyone's gaze.

The sound of the tall arched doorway opening made the doorway the focus of everyone's attention.

The crowd, waiting with mixed feelings, looked over and saw a distinct human-shaped shadow in the light.

Qin Su, who was leading the way, walked towards them at a leisurely pace, his tall and slender figure bathed in light.

From their perspective, Qin Su seemed to be bathed in a layer of light, appearing exceptionally sacred.

In fact, Qin Su, who brought the Vaccine from the Saint Parknia Planet, was indeed as sacred as a redemption.

From the moment they received the order, they were filled with anticipation, eager to witness Qin Su's 'divine power' firsthand, just like the people in Class 6). They just didn't know if they would have that honor this time.

As Qin Su entered, soldiers dressed in different styles and colors of Combat Suit stood on the Warship, holding their breath in anticipation.

Seeing the countless orderly rows of soldiers, the students of Class 6) stood behind Qin Su, feeling uneasy, but pretending to be calm and composed, trying not to show their fear.

However, the way some students were refusing to swallow revealed their true emotions.

Wow, so many people!

Seeing this, Gallagher and the others from Leichakan silently swallowed, muttering, "So they've finally met their match. Every monkey has its own way of being chained..."

Those behind Gallagher deeply agreed with this statement. Leichakan was inferior to other planets in many ways. The troops sent by the Military Districts of other planets to support them would not listen to Leichakan at all. In fact, Leichakan had no say at all when they discussed dividing the War Zones.

Seeing this scene, apart from Xuan Jingcheng, Gallagher and the others felt a little smug.

While everyone else was praising Qin Su, Xuan Jingcheng, afraid of revealing his displeasure with Qin Su, kept his eyes downcast, gritting his teeth at Gallagher's words, his heart filled with resentment.

Why is it that no matter how hard he tries, he can't get everything he wants, while Qin Su only needs to snap his fingers and this group of people swarms around him like dogs?

Among the many dissatisfactions, the only thing that made Xuan Jingcheng feel fortunate was that, judging from Qin Su's state, Qin Su should not have discovered that he was He Wenyuan.

Thinking of this, Xuan Jingcheng couldn't help but smile.

' Artificial God is indeed Artificial God; he is not truly omniscient or capable of doing whatever he desires.'

He was actually quite looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Qin Su would have on his face when he found out he was He Wenyuan.

Imagining the cracks appearing on Qin Su's composed expression when he learned the truth, Xuan Jingcheng felt his disappointment at not being recognized by He Muzhi lessened slightly.

[Oh right, I noticed that too. From beginning to end, Qin Su didn't even glance at Xuan Jingcheng. (Thinking) Qin Su doesn't seem to be as all-knowing as the rumors suggest.]

[Don't speak too soon. Is it possible that our Boss 1 is just pretending? Or... does he think that the lives of those infected by the Doom473 Virus are more important than Xuan Jingcheng's, and even if he knows about it, he's too lazy to bother with him? Or, based on Boss Su's previous attitude towards the Plague God, as long as the Plague God doesn't jump in front of Su Bao won't even bother to give him a second glance?]

[My guess 2]

[I support the guess that it's 3]

[Everyone, let's be greedy. As adults, of course we should go all in.]

[Am I the only one who thinks that after the Plague God changed his Glands, he's paying more attention to Qin Su? Is it a case of attraction between AA (Alpha and Alpha)? Like He Muzhi for Qin Su?]

[Someone is taking advantage of the chaos to start randomly attacking others again.]

[Want to bet? If you think Qin Su knows He Wenyuan is the current Xuan Jingcheng, type 1; if you don't, type 2 (serious version)]

[The screen is full of 1s, you Su fans are really crazy about 1s, so confident]

As they drew closer, Qin Su discreetly surveyed the troops fanning out around the elevated platform, confirming that every unit that had received orders had arrived and that the plan had not been disrupted. He secretly felt pleased.

At the head of the group, before Qin Su led the Fourth Military Academy into the building, according to the pre-prepared plan, the number of groups (Class 6 were divided into, and the same number of Warships were moored.

When he was still some distance from the teams he was facing, Qin Su stopped his forced pace. His gaze seemed to casually sweep across the entire scene, but in reality, under the watchful eyes of everyone with their own thoughts, he pretended that he could take over all their Optical Brain accounts with just a glance. He then silently sent the plan content that they could see to the Optical Brain of everyone present.

Although they would be heading to different War Zones later, Qin Su still wanted to make sure everyone had a common communication channel.

Therefore, before coming in private, he scanned the names of the people on the list and added them to his shameless "One-Click Send" process, which he had written and used several times.

The next second after Qin Su scanned the screen, not only the students in Class 6 behind Qin Su, but also everyone facing Qin Su saw the page that popped up on their Optical Brain almost simultaneously.

After they clearly saw their tasks written on the page, Qin Su's voice rang in their ears. "In one minute, everyone will follow me to Zone 1 for cleanup."

"!"

Is it just their imagination? Why is Qin Su's voice right next to their ears...? Wait, when did they join the same group chat?

After closing the message received on their Optical Brain, they saw their newly added group chat page and belatedly realized why they could all hear Qin Su's voice. Through the shared group chat, they were now on the same Communication Channel.

Before this, Qin Su had merely glanced at them lightly.

Therefore, with Qin Su's sweep, all of their personal Optical Brain were completely exposed in front of Qin Su.

Although they had heard before that Qin Su was a true 'Artificial God', with every part of his body having undergone sophisticated and advanced modifications, experiencing it firsthand now was far more shocking than they had heard.

"Yes!"

Before the other Military District' troops could recover from their astonishment, they heard the resounding response from Class 6).

"..."

Judging from the calm demeanor of Class 6), it's clear that Class 6) has seen far more of the world than they have.

Not wanting to be outshone by Qin Su, the group exchanged silent glances, and then, a louder "Yes!" rang out.

'Although they didn't get along before, now that they're in front of Qin Su, they have Class 6) as a common control group, so they can temporarily unite.'

Qin Su: "..."

The deafening sound made his ears ring a little. Qin Su steadied himself and stepped steadily into the lead Warship, his head buzzing.

Mingming, when he sneaked into Leichakan to make preparations, he saw through video negotiations with the armies of various planets that they were practically ignoring each other, each acting as their own king, and none of them submitting to the others. How did they suddenly become 'united and friendly' and try to deafen him with their voices?

Qin Su thought that when he was isolated by the collective thought process of Class 6), it was the worst situation. Now it seems that he was narrow-minded and had never seen the world.

Having left the confines of Class 6, he found himself on a larger 'platform' where he was immediately isolated by even more people.

Fortunately, he was experienced. In the brief moment when he turned around and stood still on the Warship, Qin Su had already composed himself and looked at Gallagher, who was running towards him. At the same time, he used the Visual Helmet to see the movements of the students in Class 6 who had been broken up into different groups and 'integrated' into the teams.

(Class 6 was scattered by him, and its number was unusually small compared to the number of armies on each planet.

Before 'integrating' into the group, the students of Class 6) had obviously discussed it privately in the group without his knowledge, and without exception, they all stood at the back of each team.

The armies of various planets quickly discovered this as well. "..."

Why did Class 6) stand behind them? Was it Qin Su's intention to have them monitor their performance during the battle?

They had a biased view of Qin Su, and this bias inevitably extended to Class 6. While everyone didn't regard Qin Su as a Military Academy student, they also subconsciously didn't regard Class 6, which Qin Su personally led, as Military Academy students.

"Um... Chief Commander Qin, please wait a moment." Gallagher had also overheard Qin Su's brief conversation and, fearing Qin Su would lead his troops away in the blink of an eye, quickly ran to Qin Su and asked bluntly, "Is there anything we can do for you?"

Because he hadn't handed over the boxes containing Vaccines to the important figures inside the Quarantine Zone despite their threatening stares, he didn't dare go in now. After listening to Xuan Jingcheng's words, he followed Qin Su out and thought that Xuan Jingcheng's words made some sense. Qin Su didn't refuse their request to follow, which meant that he tacitly agreed.

Gaining favor with Qin Su would be a chance to leave Leichakan, and even if they couldn't leave, their lives in Leichakan would be much easier in the future.

Anyone who hears that he once participated in Qin Su's operations will give him some respect.

"We'll do whatever you say, we just hope to do something for Leichakan..."

Qin Su's gaze fell on the Warships of Leichakan not far away, then he turned his attention back to Gallagher, interrupting Gallagher: "As you wish."

After speaking, Qin Su turned the Warship around.

The fleet of Warships behind him also made way for him in an instant, allowing Qin Su to maneuver his Warship through them at maximum speed.

With Xuan Jingcheng around, Xuan Jingcheng would definitely interpret his "do as you please" as meaning he wanted it.

What he needed to do was leave as soon as possible, giving Xuan Jingcheng a chance to shine.

As soon as everyone made way, they saw that in the blink of an eye, the Warship controlled by Qin Su disappeared before their eyes. The busy crowd stiffly turned their necks and looked in the direction where Qin Su had disappeared.

Looking at the empty space, a look of confusion appeared in everyone's eyes, and murmurs could be heard everywhere.

"Oh, this..."

"So fast? Really?"

"When did the Fourth Military Academy's Warships become faster than our First Military Academy's?"

"Did the Fourth Military Academy secretly make progress behind our backs?"

"Is it possible that the problem lies not with the Warship itself, but with the operator?"

"I've long heard of Qin Su's exceptional Mental Power in controlling Warships, and seeing it today, I can confirm it's well-deserved."

With Qin Su absent, everyone seemed much more relaxed. Their gazes drifted towards Class 6), and they spoke less reservedly. One of them cut to the chase and asked, "Can you match the Commander's speed just now?"

These words drew unanimous disapproval from Class 6.

'No, they can't!'

Gallagher stared in the direction Qin Su had disappeared, his astonishment still lingering, when Xuan Jingcheng's voice rang out behind him.

"Qin Su..." To avoid arousing suspicion from others, Qin Su, realizing he Xuan Jingcheng too quickly, quickly corrected himself, "What did Commander Qin say?"

"He said 'go ahead'." Gallagher wasn't quite sure whether Qin Su allowed them to come or not.

After all, the word 'whatever' can be interpreted in many ways, so saying it is essentially meaningless. Qin Su's tone and expression remained largely unchanged, further complicating the interpretation for Qin Su.

Xuan Jingcheng immediately replied, "That definitely means we can follow as we please. After all, we've been following them the whole way, and Qin Su hasn't said anything. As long as we behave ourselves and don't cause any trouble, we won't anger Qin Su. Don't you think that makes sense?"

"Besides, the reason our group was able to appear before Qin Su is that we're basically capable of fighting the infected; there won't be any problems."

Gallagher, who was already eager to participate in the operation and had Xuan Jingcheng's reasoned persuasion, nodded almost without hesitation. "Alright then."

Having received the answer he wanted, with only one minute left, Xuan Jingcheng turned and ran excitedly to his companions, whispering a few words. The group then excitedly headed towards the Leichakan Warship docked not far away.

Knowing He Muzhi's 'soft-hearted' nature, and to make it easier for him to board He Muzhi's Warships even if they were damaged in Warship, Xuan Jingcheng deliberately chose one of the worst Warships and headed towards He Muzhi's location with a clear objective.

"Did you guys notice that Xuan Jingcheng strange today? He's become... strangely nice?"

"You just realized? Not only has his personality improved, but he's also become overly active. He actually chose the worst equipment, which has never happened before. He used to look down on us, and every time he took the best of everything because he was good at dealing with the infected on the other side."

"Who cares? It doesn't affect them anyway."

After exchanging only a few words, the group dispersed, each following the Xuan Jingcheng given by Xuan Warship and Gallagher, choosing whichever team they preferred to join.

In a short time, the teams from each Military District and the Class 6 group completed their assembly according to Qin Su's orders and headed toward their destination First War Zone.

No sooner had the people outside left than the leaders of various Military District, who had been eagerly rushing in for the Vaccine, arrived at the entrance to the Quarantine Zone.

Seeing the message 'Permission scan failed, passage prohibited,' the leader exclaimed in disbelief, 'Is this thing broken?'

"Let me try."

The second person went up, and seeing the exact same result, the third person took over.

Before long, they made a horrifying discovery: it wasn't a problem with permissions, it was Qin Su who was the problem.

Anxious whispers and discussions arose.

"No, what does Qin Su mean by putting us under house arrest here? So, the temporary release we received earlier wasn't real release, and we were just playing with each other?"

"I have even worse news for you: we've lost contact with the outside world."

"Try to look on the bright side. Aiseboer and the other three classes from the Fourth Military Academy are still here. Qin Su can't possibly kill them all, can he?"

" (Class 6 are here. In Qin Su's eyes, these people are not even human. This doesn't offer much comfort, does it?"

"Damn, Qin Su has been doing all this without saying a word, what exactly is he trying to do?"

"No matter what Qin Su is planning, I'm feeling really uneasy right now."
