Chapter 303

"Nobody's come up with a solution yet? A bunch of useless idiots!"

"We're doomed! I'm familiar with this kind of situation. We're either going to be burned alive or riddled with bullets by the hidden weapons in the room! I've always done this to others, I never thought I'd do it myself... Karma, this must be karma!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Open your dog eyes and see where you are! Who dares to leave here..."

"What if it was Qin Su? You can't be so foolish as to believe that it was really His Majesty the Emperor himself, can you? The Corpse Stench in the air is so strong, and we've never seen anyone go in to clean it up. How could His Majesty be in a room with so many dismembered bodies? There's something fishy going on."

"But what does all that have to do with me? Why am I here... ugh..."

"Get away from me, don't vomit... I'll tell you what to do—"

"One!"

The countdown ended, He Muzhi initiated the detonation.

Boom!

A loud bang silenced the chaotic noise inside.

Debris flew everywhere, and many pieces of broken material hit the protective suits of people nearby, only to bounce off quickly.

"Superior!"

He Muzhi knew a little more than the others and had already prepared himself for the worst, which was the possibility of encountering the Living Dead. He didn't expect the explosion to be successful. He didn't see Living Dead, but the crowded scene inside still startled him. Fortunately, his mouth reacted faster than his brain. He raised his voice to warn others and took the lead in rushing in.

Seeing the densely packed crowd inside, the person behind He Muzhi was surprised and cursed inwardly. He Muzhi's voice was barely audible, and they reacted quickly according to He Muzhi's previous instructions.

He Muzhi deliberately lowered his voice. Apart from those on the same Communication Channel, those a little further away could only see He Muzhi's mouth moving. Moreover, the soundproofing inside and outside was excellent. Before He Muzhi broke down the door, the people inside couldn't hear anything outside. A second ago, their minds went blank because of the sudden explosion. Before they could recover, they heard a short command, and then, in the billowing smoke, they heard continuous gunfire. What followed was the excruciating pain that pierced their limbs and bones.

"Ahhh!!"

"Save--"

Whoosh!

Amidst the fierce firing, countless unsuspecting people either fell to the ground with their eyes wide open in agony, or their bodies were torn apart and scattered by various types of ammunition, with shrill screams, cries for help, and agonizing cries echoing throughout the air.

[This is too brutal. Except for the location, the deaths of the other important people in Class 6 were almost exactly the same in their previous locations. I seriously suspect that Qin Su gathered them in one place just to see a scene of bloodshed. Qin Su is a pervert. Is there no one to speak up for these innocent people who died tragically? (crying)]

[Vomit--]

[Couldn't it be for the convenience of Class 6... No, you're telling me these people are pitiful? No way, no way, there are still people who haven't seen the previous content or don't know what these people who weren't missed were doing before, right? They died much more easily, unlike those who were tortured by them, slowly dismantled and pieced back together, unable to live or die. With their deaths, I wonder how many people will laugh themselves to death, no longer having to worry about dying in all sorts of strange ways. Don't say they were just following orders from their superiors, they did it, this is their retribution.]

[6. According to you, isn't Class 6 doing the same thing now? No matter why they did it, they did it. One day they will be punished. Isn't Qin Su harming them?]

[Afraid of retribution, so you do nothing? Open the door and say hello to them? What about the tens of thousands of innocent people who died at their hands? Besides, look at the world they live in, think about what the Federation was like before. Does Class 6) have come this far without doing anything, only to return to the state where they couldn't and dared not completely wipe out the Zerg and were constantly hampered?]

[War means bloodshed, world peace (prayer)]

Within the vast space, the three squads led by He Muzhi swept a bloody path through the Breach. As people fell one by one, the vacated space was quickly filled by the people He Muzhi brought.

For a long time, the space remained crowded and cramped. Those who entered later rushed into the battle without thinking, in order to make room for those still outside and to allow themselves to move freely. All they heard were screams and the sounds of flesh being torn apart by various weapons. Blood and limbs flew everywhere. Although some people felt their scalp tingling at the sight, their hands did not stop, nor could they stop.

Within the space that had only been opened up, countless transparent helmets were busy with their cleaning modules, leaving afterimages as they splattered with a fresh mixture of yellow, white, and red substances. These substances were quickly swept away within a second, and the space soon returned to normal.

"Aaaaaah, go to hell, all of you go to hell!"

"I love you!"

Those who had been controlled by the power had recovered and picked up their weapons to fight back, but all their efforts were in vain under the overwhelming force of He Muzhi and his men, who had the advantage of timing, location, and support.

Five minutes had passed since the explosion. As more and more people fell, many of the people who had come with He Muzhi looked at the empty spaces and breathed a sigh of relief. They finally had the mind to ponder the strange phenomena they had seen after the explosion.

During the shooting, they saw many familiar faces among those being shot. These faces frequently appeared on the Dark Web, and 99% of their posts were related to bloodshed and horror, either performing inhumane rituals or boasting about their "achievements." They were not the people responsible for patrolling and keeping watch at the Setini Palace, and should not have been there so early in the morning.

However, they have now appeared on a large scale, while some of the patrol soldiers they recognize and should be on are not among them, which is clearly abnormal.

Now, all the abnormalities point to Qin Su's deliberate actions.

Furthermore, why leave so many people in the same space? To leave them completely unaware of their impending death? Even if those inside were outside, they wouldn't stand a chance against them.

Could it be that Qin Su doesn't trust their abilities? Or is he afraid they'll be harmed...? No, they don't have that right. To be precise, he's afraid Class 6) will be harmed? Or perhaps... Qin Su simply wants to enjoy watching a group of people helplessly facing death in despair, just for his own amusement? Or is there some other reason?

Countless people pondered this question until the last group fell, and all they could see were their own people, no enemies, and they still couldn't figure it out.

In less than ten minutes since they entered, the crowd inside the house, which had initially triggered trypophobia at first glance after the explosion, was now just a blinding crimson.

As the last shot faded away, some people, smelling the thick stench of blood in the air and seeing Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood everywhere, swallowed hard with unreadable expressions. Others, unfazed, calmly adjusted their equipment and replenished their ammunition.

It's getting late.

The second it was confirmed to be over, He Muzhi secretly glanced at the time. The moment the entrance was blown up, he knew that because of the large number of people inside, the scene when they arrived at the final destination would not be very pleasant, and the time would be a little longer than expected. But he did not expect that the originally planned five minutes would be delayed to ten minutes.

He Muzhi suppressed the urge to glance around, controlling his tone to remain as emotionless as possible. "This is over. Let's continue."

Continue with what?

Then everyone remembered that they still didn't know what Qin Su and He Muzhi alone. Watching He Muzhi's departing figure, they exchanged glances and immediately followed.

He hadn't walked two steps when he received a message on his He Muzhi Optical Brain from the people he had originally arranged to be stationed in various parts of the Setini Palace, and he stopped in his tracks.

Those behind were confused, but then they heard He Muzhi's voice again.

"Wait a little longer." He Muzhi suppressed the confusion in his heart and tried his best to keep his tone normal. "They're here."

Who are 'them'?

"..."

One question after another made everyone feel stifled. If they hadn't thought that the place wasn't right, and it wasn't the right time to pry, and that He Muzhi's face was also cold, and that even if they asked, he might not answer, and that it would only make things awkward and embarrassing for them, they would have surrounded He Muzhi long ago, not giving up until he answered.

No one spoke, but they all silently turned up the hearing of their helmets, controlled by their Optical Brain, to the maximum, aiming at the movements behind their helmets and carefully capturing every sound.

Less than a minute after He Muzhi spoke, footsteps came from various places, eventually converging and heading towards where they were.

The person at the end of the line, taking advantage of the fact that the people at the front couldn't see them, blatantly turned their head.

Led by the people of Class 6), countless people hurriedly escorted one familiar yet deeply loathed person after another toward them.

"Garson, Jiao Wu, Felix... So they went to capture someone! Wait, we didn't capture anyone yet, so is the person we're supposed to capture further in? Does that mean we have to stop before completing our mission?"

"Nonsense! He Muzhi knows more than anyone in Class 6, and he's not worried. Obviously, no one wants to arrest us, or... there's no need to arrest him?"

He Muzhi knew just as much as those around him. He did what everyone else was secretly doing, without reminding them that the Communication Channel was still open. While eavesdropping, he reviewed the plan, going over it several times. Until Sophia and the others approached, He Muzhi was absolutely certain that Qin Su hadn't instructed him to do what Sophia and the others did... wait, the orders he gave Sophia and the others didn't mention anything about 'who they needed to capture,' so... Qin Su had excluded him and contacted Sophia and the others alone?! Then all that quiet optimism he'd felt before was for nothing?

"..."

Joy turns to sorrow? He Muzhi felt a familiar sense of crisis.

Sophia and the other students from Class 6, along with the more important members of their respective teams, escorted their mission targets through the Passageway cleared by He Muzhi's team. They walked up to He Muzhi and, from a distance, noticed He Muzhi team's halt. Sophia asked with a hint of doubt, "Were you waiting for us?"

"By the way, where are the people you arrested?" Sophia asked directly after spinning the silk for a while, not finding anyone. "Who were they? I haven't seen them."
