Chapter 215

Their instinctive sense of danger caused the group at the front, like most of the people in Class 6 who glanced at them and then looked away, to turn their eyes to Qin Su, who was standing face to face with them on the high ground, and stop in their tracks.

A chilling cold wave swept over them, sending shivers down their spines, and those wearing only ordinary clothes shivered.

Some people wondered to themselves, 'Why is it so cold inside?' and looked at the temperature display that was usually shown on the walls of the training field.

Under normal circumstances, the temperature in any place will Temperature Control at 25 degrees Celsius. If it is too low, it will automatically heat up until it reaches 25 degrees Celsius; if it is too high, it will cool down.

They are now seeing the temperature display below zero.

When did the Fourth Military Academy's equipment become so outdated?

"It's not a problem with the temperature control system. I checked the backend, and it shows that it's currently in heating mode, but for some reason, the temperature just won't go up."

"When in doubt, with Qin Su around, it can only be his fault."

The people speaking in the front and middle positions mobilized their energy to provide warmth for themselves.

Those behind were blocked, unaware of what was happening ahead; they only saw that the people in front had stopped, preventing those behind from moving forward.

What's going on up ahead?

"I can't see them, they're too high."

"Isn't that obvious? Who told us to use our eyes to see? Do you understand what perception is?"

The thought that their addition would make him, who was already not outstanding in Class 6, even more invisible, caused some people in Class 6 to look down on those below him and resist them no matter what.

This time, Qin Su didn't say anything. He simply stood in the spot he had chosen beforehand, seemingly calm and watching the Modified Humans he had met once before, but in reality, he was nervously waiting to see if they would fall into the first trap.

He had a clear view of the situation below.

The act of turning tail and running away when things don't look good probably only happens when there are no 'Viewers' around.

Class 6) is already in position as the Viewers. Anyone who frequently visits the StarNet knows that there is nothing that Class 6) cannot spread. If the Modified Humans dare to turn around and leave one second, the next second they will not even have left the training ground. The next second, under the premise that Class 6) is hostile and wary of them, Class 6) will exaggerate and spread the news.

The stiff stance lasted for about ten seconds before the assembled Modified Humans team finally moved forward.

Those behind, seeing the movement ahead, also started moving. Only after entering the training ground did they realize they had entered a den of thieves. The thought of "maybe we should leave" had just crossed their minds when they heard a "buzzing" sound behind them.

Someone turned their head and saw the heavy gray metal door closing tightly from both sides towards the middle, completely cutting off their thoughts, leaving no room for regret.

"..."

'It looks like they walked right into a trap.'

[The Modified Humans initially thought: Unite and surround Qin Su! Now: It's over, it seems like they're surrounded by Qin Su all by themselves (bitter smile)]

Be confident, that's all.

[Inviting the enemy into a trap?]

That's not very polite.

[Close the door and let (Class 6?]

[ (Class 6: Not a dog, no obligation to bite, thank you:)]

Qin Su, who had been secretly watching the Electronic Eye display on his Optical Brain screen, ready to create a sealed space at any moment. "..."

'It's clearly a case of locking the door and releasing the ghost.'

The entire Modified Humans team froze upon hearing the training ground door close behind them, then realized they had no way out and could only stride forward.

Qin Su observed the distance between the Modified Humans and saw that it was similar to what he had thought. After spending a few days together, coupled with their special physical characteristics, there were no conditions or sufficient opportunities for them to get very close to each other, leaving them with a lot of room to maneuver.

Qin Su tapped his bent index finger on the railing.

As trained, countless ghosts spontaneously adjusted their numbers based on factors such as their order, the number of parts modified, height, weight, etc.

As they drew closer to Qin Su, the crowd below clearly felt the temperature dropping, becoming increasingly certain that the hypothermia in the training ground was related to Qin Su.

Once you've reached the right distance, stop in front of you and look up at Qin Su above.

The chosen leader spoke up, "It seems you know why we've come."

Qin Su had little interest in the existence of Modified Humans. Some of the Modified Humans were happy that Qin Su didn't look at them strangely, but they couldn't help wondering if Qin Su would become more restrained in his research on Modified Humans if he grew to dislike them.

Nowadays, thinking about those things is meaningless. If they lose, it's because of their own will; if they win, they will be rewarded and have the opportunity to join the army directly under the command of Modified Humans officers, no longer confined to the cell block, and gain a certain degree of freedom of movement.

Hearing someone speak from below, Qin Su fixed his gaze on that person.

The Modified Humans was speaking was 2.4 meters tall. His right eye had been modified, perhaps to have functions such as vision, scanning, or even shooting. What should have been his left arm was instead filled with countless curved golden tubes that swirled and waved in the air. Beneath his feet were energy cubes about 10 centimeters thick. The entire back of his body, from head to toe, was Mechanical Exoskeleton -like frame.

With so many modified parts on his body, it's only thanks to his excellent physical condition that he could have withstood it all.

With so many modifications made, and unsure where they might snipe him, Qin Su switched to bending his middle finger and decided to simply and brutally twist all the potentially harmful modified parts towards himself.

After a brief observation, Qin Su gestured with his eyes to indicate the parts of the body the ghosts were controlling, then feigned composure and asked, "So?"

Qin Su's calm and composed reaction was within the expectations of the Modified Humans. Many people unconsciously swallowed and looked at Song Zhengqing, the representative among them.

As agreed, they would act based on Song Zhengqing's actions; as soon as Song Zhengqing made a move, they would swarm him.

(Class 6: "?"

'This situation seems quite different from what they imagined!'

Seeing the Modified Humans's tense look towards Qin Su, and with Song Zhengqing's tone of voice as evidence, the students of Class 6) realized belatedly that the Modified Humans was there to steal Qin Su's attention from them and were secretly jealous. They came to their senses, tensed up, and immediately stood up.

Glancing at the movements of Class 6, and thinking about how the students in Class 6, knowing full well they were no match for the Cyborg Army, still resolutely wanted to help, treating them as Viewers and using the opportunity to test whether any of them were disloyal to his orders, Qin Su felt a pang of guilt, and unconsciously softened his tone as he spoke, "Sit down."

The students of Class 6, who wanted to say or do something, were stunned when they heard Qin Su's suddenly gentle tone. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise as they looked at Qin Su. Their bodies moved faster than their brains and they quickly sat back down in their seats.

Those Modified Humans: "..."

'I'm even more envious and jealous! I knew Qin Su was in Fourth Military Academy Class of 26 Class 6 and was living a good life, but I never imagined it was this good!'

One second Qin Su was cold and aloof to Song Zhengqing, the next second he spoke so gently to Class 6). The stark contrast was unbearable for anyone to witness.

[The fear but determination of Class 6, Qin Su's doting yet helpless "Sit down," the mutual friendship always brings tears to my eyes]

[Not a friendship]

[I bumped into it; as expected, if I hadn't done that, there would have been no harm.]

[Great! We're saved from being so envious of Class 6)!]

Seeing that Class 6) had obediently sat down as instructed, Qin Su shifted his gaze from Song Zhengqing, who had spoken, and scanned the people filling the Training Ground below. As he spoke, he casually tapped the railing with his middle finger. "What are you still hesitating about?"

After several days of training by Qin Su, the ghosts were very familiar with Qin Su's every command and immediately understood them.

(Class 6: "!"

As expected of their Class Monitor, his confidence is definitely based on his strength. Despite his confidence in Qin Su, the members of Class 6) kept a close eye on the Modified Humans below, not daring to relax their vigilance.

Song Zhengqing gasped inwardly.

'Qin Su really does know everything.'

Even if they knew, Qin Su was already impatiently urging them on before they had even moved, showing no extra patience whatsoever. This made them seem even more pitiful than before.

Most of the Modified Humans felt similarly to Song Zhengqing.

This also proves that even if they join forces, Qin Su is truly not afraid; otherwise, how could he be so relaxed and urge them on?

With Qin Su in complete control, Song Zhengqing took a deep breath, holding back his energy, and immediately aimed all his weapons at the high ground where Qin Su was.

Those who were preparing to join the group saw Song Zhengqing's actions, their eyes locked on Qin Su, their minds highly focused. Those who were determined to slip to the edge when the fight broke out were equally tense.

The encirclement was about to begin. Song Zhengqing narrowed his eyes and said sharply, "Since that's the case, then we won't be polite..."

Before he could finish speaking, Song Zhengqing watched helplessly as all the weapons he had aimed at Qin Su were either pointed at his own men, or at the ground or the sky.

There was no point of contact with Qin Su, not even the location of Class 6).

Song Zhengqing: "!"

What happened?!

The others, whether they were preparing to join the group or were planning to retreat, were shocked by Song Zhengqing's 'internal betrayal' and stared at Song Zhengqing with wide eyes and various expressions.

"Song Zhengqing, what do you mean?"

"You're insane! You're trying to kill me in the chaos!"

"Damn, I knew you were upset about me beating up some people from your Military District. So this is what you were waiting for!"

"This... this... how is this completely different from what we agreed on?"

He was almost shot by Song Zhengqing; even the best-tempered person would lose their temper if Song Zhengqing had his weapon pointed at them.

The four women at the back of the group Winnie Bu Qiu, exchanged glances, their eyes conveying the same message: "Let's take another look."

(Class 6 blinked, their eyes lingering on Qin Su and the Modified Humans below who were in chaos due to Song Zhengqing's 'backstabbing'. Finally, they secretly looked at the back of Qin Su's neck and clearly saw that the Alpha Pheromone Blocker Patch was perfectly attached to the Gland.

'They know that Qin Su can suppress Pheromones on a single individual.'

Judging from the reactions of those below, everyone except Song Zhengqing is moving freely and is not being controlled, while Song Zhengqing is clearly being controlled.

'So the conclusion is... even without using Pheromones, Qin Su can still control it specifically with his mind!'

Otherwise, there is no way to explain the phenomenon we are seeing.

(Class 6: "...!"

'What King Su? He's clearly God Su!'

[Qin Su didn't use Pheromones at all. I seriously suspect that Song Zhengqing was just cooperating with Qin Su's performance. Unless Qin Su has everyone under control, I don't believe it.]

[Why does Class 6)'s conclusion seem a bit like an insult?]

[I'm fed up with having my normal compliments constantly being taken over.]

Song Zhengqing tried hard to regain control of his body, but no matter how hard he tried, he had lost control of every part of his body, which he used to be able to control with his mind like an Optical Brain when powered by energy. Every part of his body was no longer under his control.

Just as he was gripped by panic and anxiety, he heard a series of questions piercing his ears. He gritted his teeth and fiercely retorted, "I didn't! My body is not under my control at all!"

The doubts vanished, and everyone's suspicions were confirmed. Before they could say anything, Qin Su's voice, unchanged from before, came from above again. "He's finished. What about you?"

Qin Su tapped his middle finger twice rhythmically.

If he were one of them, and faced with the situation where others were making a move, thus cutting off his own escape route, and if he didn't act, others would also take action and he would die in the end, he would also join the encirclement and suppression campaign.

Nv1,

By pooling everyone's strength to kill their sole opponent, it's not surprising that, given their numerical advantage as Modified Humans compared to normal Interstellar People, some might think that 'their combined power has a high probability of killing him.'

When people are desperate, they might just give up entirely. They were probably in a phase where they were ready to go all out, but not completely; they needed a spark of inspiration.

Song Zhengqing was clearly their spark, and now that spark hadn't even had a chance to shine before it was extinguished, it was bound to leave a heavy blow on their already fragile mental walls.

Without a spark, the remaining pile of firewood would be greatly affected in its power. After he poured cold water on the firewood, he would extinguish all their hopes before they could even take action. When they were disheartened, that would be the best time for him to give them a second option.

Other Modified Humans were preparing to act simultaneously after Song Zhengqing: "..."

'The first person to force a group of people to attack him was so arrogant that they were speechless.'

The others exchanged glances, encouraging each other with their eyes. With a willingness to go all out, and knowing that Song Zhengqing, who had attacked first, hadn't been killed by Qin Su on the spot, they couldn't help but feel a little tentative. After looking away, a unified shout of "Attack!" rang out, and countless people launched an attack on Qin Su as agreed.

(Class 6 had just heard the people below say "do it" and before they could even get excited, they saw the familiar scene happening to the people who were doing it again.

Like Song Zhengqing, they maintained a stance of pointing their weapons at their own people.

"..."

Unable to move, he was caught in a daze where his mind and consciousness were telling him to "move," while his body was saying, "No, listen to me, I'm in charge, none of you want to move."

After the initial shock, his mind was filled with thoughts like, "How did Qin Su manage to do that?!" and "Is Qin Su even human?" He constantly questioned himself and doubted the meaning of life.

Song Zhengqing: "..."

For some reason, he felt a sense of relief, as if his grievances had been cleared.

(Class 6 were even more turbulent, and they stared intently at Qin Su.

[The Modified Humans to the body: You all have to listen to me! Kill!] Qin Su to the Modified Humans's body: No, listen to me, I'm in charge.

[Song Zhengqing says: You guys just criticized me, now you know you were wrong, right?]

From the very beginning, they had no intention of obeying orders. The group that was supposed to attack Qin Su saw this scene and tried to minimize their presence under Qin Su's gaze. They cautiously moved their hands slightly and found that apart from getting goosebumps from Qin Su's aura, they could still move. They were incredibly grateful and once again thankful that they hadn't joined the attack.

'In terms of clearly defining the cause of the wrong, the debtor of the wrong, avoiding harm to the innocent, and clearly distinguishing between gratitude and resentment, Qin Su truly makes them weep!'

"I... I didn't mean to lay a hand on him."

"I don't either."

"And me."

"I was forced to come."

Me too.

It's unclear who started it among those who hadn't yet made a move, but voices calling for a clear separation began to rise.

They don't care about shamelessness. Their own people are already in such a state. They should just have pity on themselves and avoid incurring Qin Su's wrath. They should try to survive a little longer before going back to die.

While observing the ashen faces of most of the people below, Qin Su heard several people behind him expressing the same sentiment. He glanced over naturally and suddenly, and only responded after their voices had faded and no one spoke anymore, "Hmm."

Then, Qin Su looked at the group of people who had started the fight.

The group of people who had left themselves out were caught off guard by Qin Su's response and were at a loss for what to do. Fortunately, Qin Su stopped looking at them and gradually relaxed.

[Who wouldn't say our God Su is good-tempered and kind after seeing this?]

[Song Zhengqing and others:? You have two eggs hanging under your eyebrows, huh? Why don't you take a look at us?]

[Who said Qin Su wasn't a god? He's easily taken care of everything.]

I'm sorry (bows in apology), I was speaking too loudly earlier.

[Traitor, pei]

[You join Military Academy Military District or military region with a heart full of hope, dedicated to protecting your planet. You're injured in a war, and no one knows your physical condition better than the Military Academy. Your physique happens to meet the requirements for modification. The Military Academy or Military District decides to give your family a large sum of money, but you're betrayed by them, becoming this inhuman, ghost-like state. Your lifespan is shortened from an average of three hundred years to two hundred or even a hundred years, or even just a few decades. If you can still swear loyalty to the death, then come talk to me about being a 'traitor.' Of course, this excludes those modification fanatics who voluntarily dedicate themselves to the modification cause.]

"And you guys? Don't you have anything to say?" Qin Su asked Song Zhengqing and the others, who were in a daze and in a 'numb' state.

The enthusiastic participants. "..."

'Nobody told them that Qin Su liked to hear dying words.'

Qin Su mentally counted down three seconds, remaining silent below, before skillfully sending his specific command details to the (Class 6: "In that case, it's their turn."

(Class 6 6 saw the content received on their Optical Brain terminals and heard Qin Su's words, although they felt unwilling and sour, their bodies still obeyed Qin Su's command, and they solemnly announced, "Received!"

Modified Humans: "?"

What do you mean?

Before long, their doubts were answered.

The Modified Humans initially maintained a strange and uncontrollable posture. He saw each member of Class 6) turn on their personal Optical Brain and stand neatly around them, looking at them expectantly. Just as he felt a chill run down his spine, he heard Qin Su's familiar voice enter his ears.

Looking at the students in Class 6, who were processing a disguised 'QR code' Virus, Qin Su said, "From now on, those who intend to obey my arrangements, please indicate to the students in Class 6 beside you that you wish to fill out the intention form."

Although they cannot control their bodies, their mouths can move.

'Nobody can play dead and get away with this. Scan the code, everyone scan the code. He's been building up to this moment for so long.'

As for those who had no intention, Qin Su deliberately didn't mention their 'fate' for the time being. It is the unknown that breeds fear. He didn't believe that after experiencing a series of setbacks, seeing his companions moving closer to 'hope' one by one, those who had no intention wouldn't be moved.

If someone truly remains steadfast... then for the 'safety' of others, he can only leave it to the Fourth Military Academy to handle. Whether it's Principal Xu or Aiseboer, they should be able to easily find a way to prevent the other party from ever returning.

Unlike their ruthless treatment of the invading Osotaria army, they were taken in. This unexpected turn of events left the Modified Humans stunned. "?"

"!"

As everyone knows, joining Qin Su is the dream of anyone who wants to achieve greater success in the future. Qin Su's favor and recruitment is like a super diamond falling from the sky that can dazzle thousands of people in a second. It's so dreamlike that the Modified Humans can't believe their ears, and their brains freeze.

' Qin Su not only killed them because of their own purposes, but also recruited them. How could such a good thing happen?'

'But... why? Those sent here aren't top-tier Modified Humans; logically, they have no value to Qin Su, who is practically a god.'

'Or is there something about them that makes Qin Su soften his heart? Is it because he pities Qin Su physical disabilities? Or... does Qin Su have some purpose that they cannot currently ascertain?'

'No, no, no, what are you thinking? What could they possibly have that's worth Qin Su's attention? After all, Qin Su didn't even give them a glance at the beginning.'

'So... only 'pity' remains?'

As guesses raced through their minds, before Song Zhengqing and the other Modified Humans, filled with mixed emotions, could figure it out, one of them soon exclaimed with delight.

"Me! Me!"

"Me too!"

"Let me fill it out; nobody can fill it out better than me."

"Making way is clearly my specialty!"

[A blessing in disguise (a metaphor for being envious)]

[The God Su is giving them a way out; I'd guess he knows they're not in control of their own lives and belong to the Federation, so he's making an exception for them.]

[Other Military District: Will you come back, Modified Humans?]

[Modified Humans: I politely declined.]
