Chapter 71
Clearly, they had no intention of leaving.
"Qin Su, it's Qin Su!"
"Holy crap, we were right! The Class Monitor really did go alone to lure that dangerous thing that would send you flying the moment it touched him!"
"No wonder Abia Firefly wasn't there during our training; it turns out our Class Monitor saved the most dangerous spot for himself."
"My Class Monitor is always like this, how can I not be completely devoted to him!"
In the eyes of the students in Class 6), Qin Su was aloof and had no interest in their trivial matters. He would only speak to them in Full-Band Communication when he needed to give them orders. Otherwise, he was too lazy to listen to their chatter and would most likely turn off the communication. They spoke without restraint.
The Team 1 members' noisy exclamations rang out one after another, but Qin Su was used to his classmates' 'deaf' comments on the channel.
The Team 2 members, who had been observing everything from a distance in the air, were extremely anxious as they worked to complete the mission within the allotted time.
Team 2 Leader Raymond interrupted the members of Squad Team 1, "Enough! The important thing is that the two sides are so close, what's wrong with the Class Monitor?! Why hasn't he left yet? What is he going to do?!"
As danger drew ever closer to Qin Su, the hearts of the students in Class 6) pounded wildly with tension.
Unfortunately, Qin Su's previous instructions left them with no choice but to obey, leaving them helpless and anxious.
The members of squad 1 and Team 2 each piloted their Warships, intermingling and surrounding the location where the Ground Film was laid, forming a huge circular formation. It was difficult for them not to hear each other's conversations.
The two team leaders were assigned to the same location according to the plan provided by Qin Su.
He Muzhi tried to calm himself down and, based on the actual situation, attempted to soothe the students' emotions through analysis.
"We stand far and high, taking in the big picture, so it seems close, but in reality, there's still a long distance between the two sides."
"Even the most powerful creatures are afraid of something that doesn't threaten their lives. The Abia Firefly is like a flying explosive, capable of instantly killing any living thing. Everyone is terrified of it. Even our arrogant and domineering Red-Winged Pheasant Crows might have to retreat when facing the Abia Firefly."
For a long time before, they relied entirely on using themselves as bait to continuously fire shots and lead the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows to this point.
Not only were their weapons useless against the Abia Firefly, Red-Winged Pheasant Crows's Corrosive Solution also could not penetrate the Abia Firefly's defenses, and the Abia Firefly was not even on the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows's menu.
The Red-Winged Pheasant Crows could be provoked by their 'provocation' and follow them all the way to try to devour them. The Red-Winged Pheasant Crows and the Abia Firefly live in the same desert and may have met before. The Red-Winged Pheasant Crows may also flee Abia Firefly, following the instinct of the survival of the fittest.
"Qin Su is facing the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows -Red-Winged Pheasant Crows. He must be observing its movements, ready to react to its Red-Winged Pheasant Crows at any time, to prevent any changes to the plan."
"Qin Su dares to do this because he must have a foolproof plan. We just need to trust Qin Su and wait for his orders."
"Right."
"That's right!"
"That must be it."
As the sun dipped below the horizon, voices echoing He Muzhi's analysis continued to rise in the gradually darkening night.
It's less about saying it to others and more about frantically comforting yourself.
They knew very well that if anything happened to Qin Su, they and the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows would become the targets of Abia Firefly's pursuit.
In order to successfully reproduce, Abia Firefly did not rest until her death. The Warship they were on had not yet returned to the Spaceship to replenish its energy. With little energy left, it could not run for very long.
Qin Su, caught in a pincer movement, raised an eyebrow beneath his helmet. He Muzhi's analysis was correct; he was indeed observing the movements of the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows. Every muscle in his Combat Suit was taut, waiting for the opportune moment to begin his performance.
Only...
Trusting others so much is not a good thing.
They should be thankful that he didn't have any ill intentions in this matter; otherwise, given the current trust the students in Class 6) have in him, if he harbored any malicious intent, they would have been betrayed and would have been counting the money for him.
"Turn around!!" A sharp voice rang out in the Communication Channel.
The Red-Winged Pheasant Crows fled backwards.
As night fell, the night sky, which should have been pitch black, was illuminated by the densely packed light of the Abia Fireflies, making it bright enough for the students of Class 6, who were in the dark, to clearly see the sky above the Ground Film.
More than two thousand Red-Winged Pheasant Crows flew in a vast flock in the sky, their flapping wings stirring up gusts of foul-smelling wind.
The sight of them all turning around in unison, amidst the extremely dangerous and tense atmosphere, reveals a touch of comical humor.
In this situation, the students in Class 6 were clearly stunned for a moment.
"Team 1 distributes weapons."
When the time was right, Qin Su spoke through the Full-Band Communication.
Qin Su's stern voice was incredibly penetrating. The students in Class 6, who had already developed a conditioned reflex during past training, hadn't even had time to process what he was saying before their bodies reacted swiftly to Qin Su command.
The Team 1 set off, and based on the information received, quickly distributed the weapons from the Warship to the members of the Team 2 who were not far away.
The members of Team 2 breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving their weapons, and understood why Qin Su Qin Su had made those arrangements earlier.
They didn't have many Warships, and their Warships needed to carry items for laying ground Ground Film, so there was really no space to carry weapons.
Switching between weapons is just a basic skill for them now; they can use them as soon as they get their hands on them, and the order in which they acquire the weapons is irrelevant.
The students of Class 6, gripping their weapons tightly, saw Qin Su maneuvering the Warship, his figure as swift as a streak of light disappearing into the middle of the 'battleground'. Their hearts leaped again.
"!"
Where is the Class Monitor?!
With a sense of surprise and uncertainty, when the people of Class 6) saw Qin Su's figure again, they were shocked to find that Qin Su's figure was like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he had piloted the Warship at an inhuman speed and stood behind the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows.
It presents a situation of 'one man guarding the pass'.
Qin Su single-handedly surrounded the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows who were trying to turn and flee.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
(Class 6 held their breath, their minds filled with the thought, 'Qin Su so arrogant!'
But can that really stop it?
After several training sessions with Qin Su, these hundreds of people had become desensitized to the attacks and appearance of the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows and were well-trained. Although they were not in a sorry state, they could not handle the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows' high-intensity pursuit with ease.
Qin Su, standing before them, showed no intention of even taking his weapons off the Warship!
How can the physical body block it?
That was so close!
One question after another kept popping up like mushrooms after rain, but no one could answer them.
All they knew was that if Qin Su failed to stop the fleeing Red-Winged Pheasant Crows and didn't give Abia Fireflies the opportunity to 'choose a nearby breeding container,' the Abia Fireflies, having lost their breeding ground, would treat them as 'nutrient soil.'
However, the Ground Film is precious and scarce, and the area covered is not large. If the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows flies to a place beyond the Ground Film coverage area, even if the Abia Firefly attaches to the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows and explodes, the larvae will fall to the sand and, without the Ground Film to block them, will quickly burrow into the quicksand and disappear, thus failing to achieve the goal of Purge the Abia Firefly.
"This is terrifying! I can't bear to look!" Raymond peeked through the gaps in his fingers that were covering his eyes.
Many people were so nervous that they couldn't speak, their faces were pale, and they unconsciously tightened their grip on their weapons.
Through the high-powered scope of his Visual Helmet, He Muzhi stared intently at Qin Su, who stood before him, his eyes unwavering. Qin Su was a ferocious-looking Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, whose spittle could slowly rot Combat Suit, and whose swooping dart could snatch a person in its mouth, snap them in half, and chew them into minced meat.
He was also extremely curious about how Qin Su would resolve this dangerous situation.
In the comic strip, almost the instant the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows turned away in fear in the face of Abia Firefly, Qin Su's tall figure flashed behind the turning Red-Winged Pheasant Crows.
[When I looked at the previous page, I thought it was time for Qin Su to run away, but I never expected... amazing!]
[Boss 1 (cold face): Congratulations, you're surrounded.]
[What's the difference between this and one person surrounding an army of thousands? This is outrageous!]
[I really... love this BKing feeling, does anyone understand?]
Having confirmed that he had successfully captured the attention of all the 'Viewers' both on and off screen, he and the 'actors', including the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, were now in place.
Qin Su faced the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows directly, standing in the center with his back straight and legs apart. He immediately activated his brain to create modified Glands using the Pheromones extracted from the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows.
A familiar, slight tingling sensation came from the back of my skin.
In an instant, Pheromones carrying the scent of Perfume personally blended by Qin Su exploded outwards from Qin Su with overwhelming force, enveloping the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows.
Within the sudden burst of intense cold air, there was Qin Su's Pheromone scent, and a disruptive substance similar to that emitted by the Glands of Red-Winged Pheasant Crows...
These buffs, when combined, successfully disrupted the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, who, lacking complex human thought processes and acting solely on instinct, and were trying to turn and flee.
For the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows nowadays, they are caught in a dilemma, with wolves in front and tigers behind. Unable to process the complexities, they have temporarily stopped their escape attempts.
What appeared to the 'Viewers' was that Qin Su truly lived up to expectations, 'one man against ten thousand,' and surrounded the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, who struck fear into the hearts of most people.
That tall figure in Abia Firefly glow exuded arrogance and domineering pride.
[A divine moment has been created for our Brother Su! (Salute) (Salute)]
[Red-Winged Pheasant Crows:?]
[Damn, this fearless arrogance and confidence in the face of danger really gave me a fright. Who would dare to do something like this without absolute certainty and strength?]
[It's Qin Su! We're saved!]
Wow, he's really something!
[You only realize how much you need knowledge when you need it; a single "Damn it!" can take you anywhere.]
[Boss 1 is the embodiment of authority!]
[Qin Su, King of Kings 1, Ham... cough, wrong show, hug a little bit]
[Just imagine experiencing it from an insect's perspective (winks)! Your legs will go weak. I reasonably suspect the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows were stunned by our number one's handsomeness.]
[Seriously, how did they do that? Why isn't there any narration explaining it? All the other characters have inner monologues, why doesn't our Brother Su have one? I'm going to cause trouble!]
[I'm guessing it was Qin Su who released Pheromones. Don't forget, the level of Qin Su's Pheromones remains a mystery, and they can be targeted individually.]
A meticulously planned scheme excluded Class 6) from the 'Pheromone release'.
They couldn't sense the 'interference' that the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows felt; at most, they could detect a lingering chill carrying Qin Su's 'Pheromone scent'.
All they knew was that they had personally witnessed the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows being truly intimidated by Qin Su, who alone possessed such power.
The Red-Winged Pheasant Crows had been relentlessly pursuing them were so frightened by Qin Su that their wings even stopped flapping briefly, and they hovered in the air in an eerie posture.
"..."
"!!!"
Strange scenes, beyond their comprehension, were clearly presented in their pupils, making their scalps tingle, their skin crawl, and causing them to shiver inexplicably in the not-at-all-cold night.
The students of Class 6, who were so shocked, temporarily lost their ability to speak. For a short time, they had no idea what language to use to describe the situation. The sound of swallowing in disbelief could be clearly heard.
Fortunately...
Qin Su was not their enemy.
The Pheromones emitted by Qin Su's 'Glands' created an opportunity for Abia Firefly to get close to the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows.
The Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, temporarily impaired by Pheromones, were tightly bound and constricted by the slender, fluorescent tentacles of the Abia Fireflies, creating a dreamlike scene in the air with countless layers of light.
Qin Su, having achieved his goal, withdrew without hesitation and returned.
The Pheromones that remain, which have a deterrent and disruptive effect on the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, will not completely dissipate for ten seconds after being released.
By then, the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows will have been wiped out by the Abia Fireflies, and it will be time for him to choose a good 'viewing platform'.
On the surface, Qin Su remained calm and indifferent, seemingly oblivious to the tragic plight of the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows behind him who had been halted and lost their chance to escape because of him.
Secretly, Qin Su chose to stand slightly to the side and in front of the He Muzhi, so that He Muzhi could later present his cold and resolute profile to the Viewers in the firelight.
As for the front, or even other aspects, Qin Su was not worried at all. Based on his understanding of He Muzhi and the other students in Class 6), they would spontaneously 'circle' around him and take videos and photos of him and 'Fireworks' to post on the Forum.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the flickering light and shadow were left far behind by Qin Su, who remained coldly indifferent as if everything behind him had nothing to do with him.
The shrill cries of the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows brought the students of Class 6 back to their senses from the astonishment created by Qin Su.
After they recovered, they discovered that Qin Su, who had effortlessly created this bizarre scene, was already standing among them.
Seeing Qin Su approaching him, He Muzhi's heart seemed to skip a beat, and he unconsciously slowed his breathing.
Finally, seeing Qin Su stop a certain distance away from him, and without even glancing at him, skillfully maneuver the Warship to turn his back to him, He Muzhi felt a pang of embarrassment.
"..."
He had assumed that Qin Su would stand beside him.
Fortunately, he was slow and didn't push Raymond aside to make room for him; otherwise, his presumptuous behavior would have been suffocating to Qin Su.
It takes about five seconds for Abia Firefly to go from being entangled to exploding. Some observant Class 6 members keenly noticed that Qin Su returned to them from the area where the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows were, in less than a second.
Their speed still left them speechless.
Even after Qin Su left, his lingering power seemed to render the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows incapable of resistance, and none of them could escape Abia Firefly's entanglement.
Naturally, not a single Red-Winged Pheasant Crows could escape the area covered by the Ground Film.
"Such a terrifying, powerless, invisible Pheromone... it must be Qin Su releasing his Pheromones. Only Pheromones could produce such an effect..."
"But... aren't our Pheromones only effective against our own kind and to stimulate our own potential? They're effective against the Zerg too?"
"Perhaps our Pheromone levels are too low to deter the Zerg? While Qin Su's Pheromone levels are so high that we can't even imagine them, to the point that they can intimidate the Zerg?"
"That must be it. Although we were far apart, I did sense a familiar presence just now."
"I noticed it too. Although it only disappeared for a brief moment, it was Pheromone scent that Qin Su was familiar with. To avoid affecting us, the Class Monitor controlled the Pheromone pressure within the area where the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows was located."
The students in Class 6, who were far from Qin Su, secretly speculated among themselves.
Five seconds passed quickly, and Abia Firefly, who was the first to entangle the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, made a loud bang.
Its fluorescent body erupted with an effect indistinguishable from explosives, instantly blasting the entangled Red-Winged Pheasant Crows into pieces.
Bang bang bang...
Numerous Abia Fireflies, covering half the sky, were exploding continuously.
Like fireworks continuously blooming high in the sky.
The scene was dazzling and spectacular, with flames shooting into the sky and illuminating the dark night, making the cold expression in Qin Su's dark eyes even clearer to them.
(Class 6 never expected that they would see such a magnificent and breathtaking fireworks display at the site of the Purge, which they had anticipated should have been fraught with danger.
They never imagined that Qin Su could actually solve the Abia Firefly without using any live animals.
The solution could be so romantic.
Thinking that their efforts were partly responsible for the successful display of this magnificent 'fireworks', the crowd fell into a brief silence, their expressions excited and their eyes fixed intently on the 'fireworks,' their hearts trembling with emotion.
Of course, no one forgot to record the screen.
They knew very well that this was very likely the only time in their lives they would use such an unexpected and dreamlike method to encircle and annihilate Abia Firefly.
Because of this Purge, it would be impossible to replicate without Qin Su.
Every frame we see now will be invaluable image data in the future.
While silently recording and sharing the video with his friends, He Muzhi, at the strong request of his group of four, secretly moved behind Qin Su to try to capture Qin Su's situation from all angles.
He Muzhi was not the only one to do this.
The students from Class 6 behind Qin Su even moved and circled together in tacit agreement so as not to disrupt the formation arranged by Qin Su.
In the footage captured by the crowd, amidst the sky filled with 'fireworks,' Qin Su's expression remained cold and stern.
The countless bursts of fire merely flashed past Qin Su 'Qin Su pupils, failing to stir even the slightest ripple in his eyes.
Obviously, what is a 'life picture' for them is nothing more than 'mere' and 'insignificant' to Qin Su.
"..."
After his classmates called him 'deaf,' the image of him being 'blind' emerged.
The comic book Viewers were also surprised by this development, especially compared to the less-than-successful Purge of the other classes, making it all the more remarkable.
[Using what's available, Qin Su's brain works really well.]
[This isn't something that can be done just by being smart; it requires absolute strength. After all, not everyone can treat Red-Winged Pheasant Crows 'live livestock,' nor can anyone suppress them with Pheromones, making them obediently become the prey of Abia Firefly.]
[If you ignore the background and only look at these beautiful fireworks, it really resembles the Class 6's team building trip to the desert, Brother Su set off romantic and magnificent fireworks for them. However, this romance is fatal for Abia Firefly and Red-Winged Pheasant Crows.]
[Turning a dangerous Purge operation into a beautiful fireworks display, Qin Su is awesome!]
[Who would have thought that Abia Firefly could kill like this? (shrugs)]
[Red-Winged Pheasant Crows: Is that right?]
[Boss Su truly lives up to his reputation as the man at the top of the food chain.]
The explosion of Abia Firefly is about to end. (Class 6 members took pictures and videos, but dared not browse the Forum to get distracted. They simply posted the pictures and videos quickly. They didn't know when Qin Su would issue new orders, so they didn't have time to read the replies.
Most of the freshmen in the Class of 26 didn't have time to browse Forum, but other upperclassmen on campus had plenty of time to do so.
They didn't understand what was wrong with Class 6). They were already conducting Purge operation, so how could they still have time to post?
They posted it, but even the post title was gibberish. If they hadn't clicked on it, they wouldn't have known it was full of pictures of Qin Su and dazzling fireworks... Wait, fireworks?
Qin Su actually had the nerve to set off electronic fireworks for Class 6 in that godforsaken place, Lierse Niya?!
They knew Qin Su Suqiang, but did he have to be so carefree that it made them jealous of the Class 6?
The senior students, realizing what had happened, zoomed in on the image and watched the video. Through the overexposure, they saw the falling carcass of Red-Winged Pheasant Crows and realized it wasn't an electronic firework, but rather a scene of Abia Fireflies entangling Red-Winged Pheasant Crows and exploding continuously in the air.
Senior students. "..."
Even through the Optical Brain, they could feel Qin Su's terrifying strength and the joy of the students in Class 6). If it were them, they wouldn't dare to get together to deal with these two. They couldn't suppress the Pheromones of the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows at all, so that they would stop and wait to become entangled by Abia Firefly. If they were not careful, they would play with fire and get burned.
Teachers: "..."
'Is that even possible?'
'As expected of Qin Su, so arrogant.'
' (Class 6 will choose their classes.'
' Class 6) has had enough of this. When will it be their turn to enjoy the thrill of being carried along?'
Numerous complex thoughts raced through the minds of the Fourth Military Academy members who saw the post, and the images and videos continued to spread as they were automatically forwarded time and again.
The scene of the 'fireworks' extravaganza.
Thirty seconds passed, and the last few Abia Fireflies emitted their final bursts of light.
As the noisy explosions subsided into silence, Qin Su's cold voice rang in the ears of the students in Class 6).
"Initiate the attack."
With a powerful Particle Pulse Cannon slung over his shoulder, Qin Su solemnly issued a new command.
As he gave the order, Qin Su simultaneously activated the lights on each Warship to prevent the students from groping in the dark.
The sunlight shone directly onto the Ground Film, illuminating almost the entire night sky as if it were daytime.
When the 'fireworks' were set off, they attracted everyone's attention, making them only see the beautiful 'fireworks' and ignore the chunks of flesh that fell after the explosion and the Abia Firefly larvae that poured out of the central shell of the Abia Firefly with the explosion.
Under the bright light, the students of Class 6) then noticed that on the Ground Film, there were sticky chunks of meat stacked one after another.
The meat was covered with countless black larvae.
They kept burrowing into the torn flesh of the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, absorbing its nutrients and then instinctively moving downwards, trying to burrow into the sand to hide themselves.
The pre-laid Ground Film blocked their movement, ultimately creating a gruesome scene of countless black, round insects crawling densely on the layers of Meat Mountain.
Just as the students of Class 6 were feeling nauseous from the sight before them, they saw a huge light bullet launched from the cannon on Qin Su's shoulder.
