Chapter 72
The dense, layered structures triggered Qin Su's trypophobia; he couldn't stand it and nearly exploded.
Bang...
The Particle Pulse Bombs exploded amidst the layers of crawling Abia Larvae.
In the light of the high-temperature flames at the edge of the Ground Film, countless black larvae, resembling insect eggs, flew up and were scorched and roasted in the firelight of the shells, making a series of crisp crackling sounds as they exploded.
"..."
That feels good.
Not wanting to see them again, Qin Su became ruthless once he started killing, launching another attack without pause.
Bang bang--
The sound of continuous ammunition explosions rang out.
Qin Su's actions were devoid of any feigned ruthlessness; they were entirely driven by genuine feelings and personal motives.
The Purge of the Abia Firefly is actually an eradication of the Abia Larvae.
The Abia Larvae were killed, Qin Su's Optical Brain began recording the screen to calculate the number of kills.
[yueyueyue is so disgusting, it makes me feel uncomfortable all over.]
[Baby 1: Disgusting? Who cares, kill them all, kill them all (indifferent face. jpg)]
[I bet you're looking for dense gold beans. jpg]
[Thank you, it worked wonders, I'm all better now]
There are still so many miracle doctors online, curing diseases instantly. Finally, it's not just about starting out with online cancer diagnosis.
Qin Su's swift and decisive attack, along with the sound of shells exploding one after another, drew the students of Class 6) away from the densely packed, wriggling larvae that made them feel physically nauseous, and they followed Qin Su's orders to join the extermination operation.
They couldn't embarrass Qin Su, so they had to hold back their nausea.
Boom boom boom...
The students of Class 6 raised their weapons, forming a large circle around the Ground Film. Several beams of light from different weapons were simultaneously directed at the area covered by the Ground Film, exploding in different ways.
With a sizzling sound, countless larvae burst open under the continuous barrage of artillery fire, revealing a small amount of fresh, tender, red flesh inside. Amidst the exploding shells and the ever-increasing temperature, they gradually turned into black ash.
"You know what, it even smells a bit good, like barbecue."
Raymond sniffed hard; the air was filled with the aroma of tender, roasted meat, which made his mouth water, as he spent most of his time at the Military Academy drinking nutrient solutions for convenience.
He missed the chefs' meticulous cooking of all kinds of meat dishes, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, bursting with juice with every bite.
Qin Su: "..."
Raymond must be really hungry to be tempted by something like this.
Sophia resisted the urge to facepalm, "Please, Raymond, don't ruin my favorite barbecue!"
If she were to recall the densely packed larvae of the Abia Fireflies every time she ate barbecue in the future, how could she possibly eat it?
Raymond: "But it smells so good..."
"Shut up!!" Countless voices rang out at once, sternly refusing to let Raymond ruin the reputation of the barbecue.
Raymond: "... Okay."
After Raymond's interlude, the students in Class 6) were quickly drawn back to the kill counts calculated by the Optical Brain screen recording, their eyes shining with excitement.
Knowing that Abia Firefly had been chosen, they dared not relax their efforts despite having done a lot of training and preparation beforehand, as they had already experienced the unpredictable nature of the battlefield once before.
Before setting off for Lierse Niya, they privately shared videos about the Purge of Abia Fireflies and learned many tips.
Unexpectedly, none of them were of any use.
That's not all; they also completely failed to grasp the harrowing experience of other students watching the video, where some of the exploding Abia Firefly larvae managed to escape into the sand.
Qin Su's scheming and absolute dominance allowed them to completely and utterly crush the larvae of Abia Firefly in this round.
Ignoring their disheveled state after luring the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows to this point, it's safe to say that, under Qin Su's leadership, they achieved the highest number of kills with minimal effort.
How could they not be excited?
Raymond has rather strong tastes.
[Barbecue: Thank you for speaking up for me!]
[Let Abia Firefly and Red-Winged Pheasant Crows kill each other, (Class 6 people reap the benefits, Qin Su is good at planning, good at methods, good at strength! Others would not dare to be so reckless]
After ten minutes of relentless and fierce attacks, Qin Su used the Detector on his helmet to scan and confirm that there was no longer any living thing on the Ground Film. As he gave the order in a deep voice, Qin Su put away his weapon.
"Finish."
(Class 6, as usual, stopped their attack.
The commotion subsided, and the desert returned to tranquility.
Without hesitation, Qin Su issued different orders to the two teams.
"Team 2 will follow me to collect the Ground Film, Team 1 will return to the Spaceship to replenish energy, and assemble in formation promptly at 9:00 AM the next day."
The members of Team 1 are the strongest students in the class. In this operation, both their Warship and they themselves have suffered far greater losses than the members of Team 2, and they should have rested earlier.
Qin Su did not believe there was anything wrong with his arrangements.
Nine o'clock?
He Muzhi raised his eyebrows, the surprise in his eyes no less than that in the eyes of the other (Class 6 students.
The students of Class 6 were already used to Qin Su not appearing before noon, were momentarily stunned upon hearing this.
Qin Su can actually appear in the morning?! What about their previous gossip, their speculation that Qin Su's Glands might have problems in the morning, preventing him from appearing?
Shocked and confused, the students of Class 6 wondered aloud, but none dared to ask. They all shouted in unison, "Received!"
"Walk."
Ignoring the doubts of others, Qin Su took the lead and headed towards the edge of the Ground Film laying area.
In order to be the first to single-handedly overturn the Ground Film and shake off the ashes left by Ground Film burning Abia Larvae, Qin Su even briefly relinquished control of the Warship to the system, allowing it to operate the Warship at the speed of light.
Having used the 'Gland' once, regardless of his strength, he must maintain high-intensity movement for the next seven days to counteract the 'Gland's' effects on his body.
This is a physically demanding job, so no one should try to take it from him.
In the blink of an eye, before the members of Team 1 had a chance to leave and before the members of Team 2 had heard Qin Su's instructions and followed, they saw Qin Su and his Warship appear at a corner of the edge of the Ground Film, quite a distance away from them.
"..."
Even knowing Qin Su was fast, they couldn't help but be amazed every time they saw him.
The Team 2 members then witnessed Qin Su effortlessly lifting and peeling away the massive Ground Film that required a group of them to lay and was quite heavy.
Seeing the students standing frozen at the spot where ashes were being scattered, Qin Su calmly reminded them, "Move aside."
So that you don't end up eating a mixture of bone ash, meat, and shrapnel instead of barbecue.
"!"
"Ah... okay!"
In a few swift movements, several Warships moved away rapidly.
The moment they left, the massive Ground Film was torn into the air, and the ashes of the larvae flew freely in the bright light.
Shrapnel from various weapons clattered together with charred chunks of flesh from the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, forming a small hill that crashed into the sand.
[Boss 1: (Expressionless) I've already scattered your ashes. jpg]
[Abia Firefly: Then what about all that brain-racking explosion we came up with?]
[Count... fireworks.]
[Abia Firefly larvae: This isn't funny!]
[I have to say, Brother Su is really strong. During the day, so many people in the Team 2 were struggling to lay the foundation, but Brother Su just lifted his hand and tore it up without expending any effort.]
Qin Su: "..."
It's fake; it just looks impressive. In reality, he's only holding onto the edge of the Ground Film, using all his strength. The rest of the force is being exerted by the Warship.
From He Muzhi's perspective, it seems that he easily lifted the heavy Ground Film by himself, but in reality, it was He Warship and I who together scattered the ashes of the Abia Larvae.
The members of the Team 2 had already realized what was happening and, without having time to think any further, quickly rushed over.
They've fallen behind the Class Monitor in every aspect; we can't let Class Monitor do all the work! What use are they Class Monitor?
Qin Su did not act arrogantly or indifferently in commanding them; instead, he participated in the process to ensure they could complete their mission with ease.
They were meticulous in their final tasks, staying with the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows until the very last moment, even after using a large amount of Pheromones to intimidate them and needing rest, which deeply moved the Crows once again.
After the ashes were shaken off, Qin Su released his hand, and the Ground Film fell heavily onto the sand, stirring up a gust of wind carrying fine sand.
At this time, the members of the Team 2 also arrived at the edge of the Ground Film one after another, parked the Warship, jumped off the Warship and entered the Ground Film, manually untying the Ground Film panels that were fastened together one by one.
"Let's go back." Seeing this, He Muzhi composed himself and spoke to the members of Team 1.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
As the Team 1 member left, the desert light, which had been as bright as day, gradually dimmed, but visibility was still possible.
On the surface, Qin Su didn't glance at the departure of Team 1, but secretly, since He Muzhi was no longer in the spotlight, he turned on the solo Comic Capture Camera.
Any scene that can boost popularity should not be overlooked.
The Ground Film was disassembled into different parts and placed into different Warships.
With Qin Su around, the Team 2 lost the banter they used during the day when laying the Ground Film. Everyone was eager to impress Qin Su, and their movements became noticeably faster than during the day.
On the way back, there was no need to separate the strongmen to attract as many prey as possible. Sophia Jeffrey and the others changed Warships and were on a larger Warship with He Muzhi.
"Normally, excessive use of Pheromones can overload the body, causing fatigue that requires sufficient rest to recover."
At this point, Sophia looked at the others. "The Class Monitor definitely used Pheromones to intimidate the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, yet she didn't seem to need any rest at all, showing no signs of fatigue. I'm becoming more and more curious about the Class Monitor's Pheromone level."
"Who isn't!"
"Do you think it's possible that Qin Su needs to use a lot of Glands to control Gland Pheromone levels? The reason he didn't appear this morning was to control his Pheromones, not wanting them to be so volatile that they would require strong self-control to suppress and harm us? He used a lot of Pheromones Pheromone, so he can appear tomorrow morning?"
"You have such a vivid imagination."
"More than that, we should be thinking about..." He Muzhi interrupted his classmates' speculations, and fell silent when everyone looked at him with curiosity.
"What is it?" Sheng Shuang couldn't help but ask.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, He Muzhi continued with a smile, "Even though we've already dealt with Abia Firefly, why does Qin Su still insist we gather at nine in the morning?"
Team 1 members. "..."
There was a moment of silence. Qin Su's previous training, coupled with today's almost one-to-one replica of the scene and task, made them realize that their brains were truly beyond repair.
They were very likely right before.
Qin Su indeed never did anything meaningless, including training them.
In the remaining six days, there is a 99% chance that, under Qin Su's leadership, they will continue their 'cross-level counterattack' operation.
"Everyone." As he spoke, they had arrived at the Jump Point Platform.
After the Warships obediently lined up at the bottom side of the Spaceship to replenish their energy, He Muzhi clapped his hands and looked at everyone. "Rest now, get your energy back so you can barely keep up with Qin Su's pace in the upcoming Purge."
"You don't want Qin Su to cooperate every time, slowing down his own progress just to wait for us, do you?"
He Muzhi's simple words touched everyone's hearts.
This successfully deterred the students in Team 1, who didn't want to hold Qin Su back any longer and were thinking of wandering around since there was still plenty of time. They all swiped their Identity IDs to enter the Rest Pods.
Everyone who entered the Rest Pod automatically avoided the Rest Pod closest to the door.
Although it wasn't the same Spaceship, it was the spot where Qin Su stayed during his first real combat mission.
Most people have some preference for their choices, and regardless of whether Qin Su has a preference for that position, as long as Qin Su has shown a preference, they will naturally have to stay.
Qin Su treated them with sincerity and did not feel dissatisfied or disgusted by their weakness. On the contrary, he took great care to plan for them.
Putting themselves in Qin Su's shoes, they naturally remembered everything about him.
However...
Contrary to expectations, the more you try to sleep, the more your mind becomes active, leading to random thoughts and making it difficult to fall asleep.
Feeling like something was missing, the members of Team 1 opened their respective Optical Brain Forums, and their irritation instantly disappeared.
Especially after they logged into their Optical Brain and wrote a series of passionate and lengthy essays on various social media platforms expressing their feelings about what happened that day, they felt a comfortable sense of relaxation spreading through every pore of their bodies.
While Qin Su led Team 2 to carry out the follow-up work, countless posts quickly dominated the charts on major social media platforms, thanks to the boastful intentions of the members of Team 1 of Class 6) and the support of other people who were extremely interested in 'Qin Su'.
#If you knew I was a student in Class 6), you would also envy me#
#On the feasibility of using Red-Winged Pheasant Crows as fuel and Abia Fireflies as fireworks to launch them into the sky in the desert#
#Admit it, being jealous of our (Class 6) students is as easy as breathing#
#Wuhu, Brother Su loves our (Class 6, no arguments accepted#
#When I invite Qin Su, how will you respond?#
#If you're bad at this, practice more! Because you don't have Brother Qin Class Monitor, haha#
#This is Qin Su, the Class Monitor of our Class 6). You should all look up to him.#
Brother Su is here, everyone get out of the way!#
#During the extremely critical Purge operation, Qin Su actually went to the trouble of presenting us with an unprecedentedly grand fireworks display. Qin Su has our (Class 6 in his heart.#
(Class 6 members uttered exuded a sense of ostentatious display.
After showing off, the students of Class 6, feeling satisfied, turned off their Optical Brain and happily went to sleep.
(Class 6 fell asleep, while the others who had been thoroughly impressed were equally unable to sleep all night.
They frantically commented on every boastful post, trying to regain some face and balance their emotions.
[The year I was most filled with hatred, I wanted to become a mercenary to assassinate the group of people in Class 6 (cat holding a knife. jpg)]
Count me in!
[Damn it, now that my fists are hard, I'll fight everyone in Class 6 (except Qin Su) to the death!]
[What do you mean? Isn't that enough for you to show off? Do you have to show off right in front of me?]
[If you're so capable, post this; if you're so capable, switch shifts!]
[Hehe, congratulations!]
[Eye roll, eye roll, eye roll, did you see that? Eye roll, eye roll, eye roll]
[I can't take it anymore, when will you let me into Class 6?]
[Even assuming the worst, couldn't Class 6 have expanded its enrollment? @Fourth Military Academy]
[Let's live life to the fullest (smile)]
[Now that's great, everyone except your Class 6) is unhappy.]
[I was already a loser, and now look what happened (shrugs) I'm so angry I'm breathless.]
[Nobody cares, Hello? Did you hear me? Nobody cares! I said nobody cares, did you hear me?!]
Not long after the members of Team 1 rested, the members of Team 2 returned to the Spaceship. Without saying a word, they tacitly took over the baton from Team 1 and began a new round of showing off.
The others who suffered secondary harm. "..."
Is this never going to end? Damn it!!
The unique and novel scene, with its strong sensory stimulation and visual impact, was further amplified by the students of Class 6) to spread its reach even further.
Sitting in the Rest Pod closest to the lounge door, Qin Su wasn't surprised at all when he saw his Life Points in the upper right corner surge to 33 minutes.
After exchanging the time he could retain in the Comic World, Qin Su took a shower, had the system wake him up at 1 a. m., and then quickly entered Hibernation Pod to fall asleep.
At one o'clock in the morning, all was quiet.
Confirming that no human presence was detected inside the Spaceship and that there was no one else on Spaceship except for the lounge, Qin Su quietly boarded the Warship in the darkness, left the Jump Point Platform, and headed towards the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows's habitat.
The Warship they were on was not the Warship provided by the school for this Spaceship, but rather the Warship that Qin Su was offering as an apology.
The Warship not only contained weapons, also intended as an apology, but also state-of-the-art refrigeration equipment.
After the previous massacre, the numbers of both the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows and the Abia Firefly have been greatly reduced.
As you venture deeper into the habitats of these two insects, the obstacles you encounter will lessen, and the dangers will decrease accordingly.
Now, Qin Su no longer needs to worry about being ganged up on and unable to fight against the overwhelming odds.
If he's lucky, he can find a high-end, large insect that doesn't need to leave the nest and waits in the nest for the lower-level insects of the same kind to feed him.
Even more fortunately, he was able to successfully remove the required 'Gland' for preservation and refrigeration.
The high level of physical exertion he needs will also be generated during his upcoming solo battles against the two types of insects.
Qin Su: "..."
What a perfect closed loop! He's arranged everything perfectly.
Not wanting the Viewers to know that he needed Zerg Glands, Qin Su did not intend to activate the solo capture camera.
Before heading to the habitats of the Abia Firefly and the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows, Qin Su, true to his original aspiration, returned to his old trade of scavenging at the site of today's encirclement.
The more confident and dashing he was in front of everyone before, scattering his ashes with such style, the more pathetic he looked now as he rummaged through the sand, unearthing various weapon fragments.
The key point is that, after he finished turning over the meat, in order to prevent some students from Class 6 from coming over to check in on a whim, he had to separate the Meat Mountain on site and stir it into the sand to create the appearance that the place had been hit by a tornado, thus destroying the evidence.
After a series of steps, Qin Su easily mastered the art of increasing his exercise.
Qin Su: "..."
Retribution may be late, but it will come eventually. If he could, he wouldn't really want to take advantage of it.
After working for half an hour, Qin Su, under the system's Spaceship, appeared at the speed of light deep within the Red-Winged Pheasant Crows's habitat.
According to the data, Red-Winged Pheasant Crows live in separate groups, each with its own habitat, which are far apart. Usually, the lower-ranking Red-Winged Pheasant Crows go out to forage, while the higher-ranking ones, that is, the leaders of the group, stay in the nest.
In the dimly lit nest filled with a pungent stench, Qin Su, based on the amount of light reflected from his eyes in the darkness and under the Warship's beams, as well as the results of his helmet's inspection, confirmed that there was indeed only one insect inside.
One.
On the Warship, Qin Su raised his eyebrows slightly and curled his thin lips into a shallow smile.
What a coincidence, he's also alone.
In a 1v1 situation, he is more agile and knows its weaknesses well; he's guaranteed to win this round.
Undeterred, Qin Su regained control of the Warship and swiftly charged into the deepest part of the lair...
--
(Class 7) On the Spaceship.
Not wanting his grades to be too bad, He Wenyuan successfully gained command of Class 7 by threatening the students of Class 7 7 with the right to use Spaceships, weapons Warships. He had a good record today.
The only thing that He Wenyuan regretted was that today, under his command, only some people in Class 7 were injured, and no one died.
But it doesn't matter, there are still six days left. He didn't believe that group of people would be as lucky as they were today.
"I wonder how things are going with Ruan Chengye?" He Wenyuan on the bed in the Rest Pod, contacting Ruan Chengye via his Optical Brain.
After waiting for several minutes, there was still no response from Ruan Chengye.
"?"
"As expected, it's an old gadget, just awful." He Wenyuan complained that Ruan Chengye didn't know how to Optical Brain and only knew how to use an outdated, antiquated mobile phone. After thinking for a moment, he opened the Forum.
If something were to happen to Qin Su, he would definitely not remain silent.
A minute passed, and after quickly browsing the post on the Forum, He Wenyuan's upturned lips instantly drooped, his mood turning from sunny to stormy. He stared at Qin Su's cold profile on the Optical Brain screen with a dark face and frantically tried to contact Ruan Chengye.
In the pitch-black desert night, a huge commotion in the distance as dusk fell made Ruan Chengye realize that something was wrong, and he guessed that he might have landed in the wrong place.
Even after discovering the Spaceship was missing, Ruan Chengye had no choice but to try anything, relying on his own two feet to reach the source of the commotion, given the limited time he had left.
Perhaps it's true, as He Wenyuan said, that Qin Su's arrogance stems from his possession of the system; he'd rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
