Chapter 77

Qiu Yongyan didn't speak, He Wenyuan whispered in his ear, just like he had all day earlier.

"Wasn't Qin Su your idol? Turns out it was all a lie, since you couldn't even pay homage to Qin Su..."

"Class Monitor He is joking. I have never even dreamed of being the Class Monitor. In my heart, you have always been the true Class Monitor of Class 7. So..."

Qiu Yongyan suddenly interrupted He Wenyuan, looking at him directly and asking, "As the Class Monitor, shouldn't you be the one to go?"

That reminder made every muscle in his body resist whenever He Wenyuan got close to him.

But He Wenyuan was acting strangely clingy today, as if he had lost his mind.

He didn't show the slightest hint of disgust on the surface, afraid that He Wenyuan would cause them trouble again.

Secretly, every time He Wenyuan got close, she would be on high alert, her whole body resisting him, and it took a lot of self-control to resist the urge to kick He Wenyuan away from her.

Something unusual must be going on. He was indeed planning to go forward, after all, he was the Alpha with the best overall strength in Class 7).

Since He Wenyuan said that, he himself should not have an easy time either. As long as He Wenyuan is by his side, even for his own safety, he will not make the decision to threaten the other students of Class 7 with weapons and Warship usage rights to leave.

Having achieved a satisfactory result by chance, He Wenyuan smiled, "Who said I wasn't going? Do you think I'm the kind of Class Monitor who hides in the background?"

"?"

After hearing these two sentences, Qiu Yongyan completely bewildered, utterly unable to understand He Wenyuan's thought process.

Based on He Wenyuan's previous methods, wouldn't he have left him alone in a dangerous situation, then evacuated the others, leaving him isolated and helpless, thus causing an accident?

He Wenyuan patted Qiu Yongyan on the shoulder, who was frowning at him, then withdrew his hand and passed by him. "Let's go, everyone's waiting for us to rescue them, Deputy Class Monitor Qiu."

Qiu Yongyan didn't expect that he would be so confident in taking risks to deal with an Alpha whose family background was inferior to his and who lacked intelligence.

The word 'vice' was He Wenyuan deliberately used to annoy Qiu Yongyan, saying it several times in front of the other students in Class 7).

Qiu Yongyan himself was used to it and didn't find it jarring, but Qiu Yongyan Viewers were very unhappy.

[Sarcastic tone, might as well just strangle him (rolls eyes)]

[Hehe, someone got a soft, pink little cake and volunteered to stick it on them, what a lucky person!]

[I have a feeling Qiu Yongyan has fallen into a trap. Speaking of which, isn't someone a die-hard fan of He Muzhi? How come they're clinging to Qiu Yongyan? Are they planning to switch sides?]

[Seriously, doesn't anyone else think that the way they've been acting all day— Qiu Yongyan in front, He Wenyuan behind, constantly whispering in Qiu Yongyan's ear—is a bit too ambiguous? (covers mouth and giggles)]

[Pure Hatred Couple?]

[Qiu: Do you want this good fortune?]

Standing there, Qiu Yongyan stared at He Wenyuan's back, unable to figure out what was going on. The students ahead were indeed waiting for their support, so he didn't have time to think too much and quickly followed.

Under He Wenyuan's control, the largest, most defensive, and highest-level Warship of Class 7 finally moved from the rear to the front.

However, the speed is not fast.

The unhurried pace made Qiu Yongyan, who couldn't overstep the Class Monitor's authority, anxious and frustrated.

"Can you hurry up?"

"I'm sorry," He Wenyuan said regretfully, "I wanted to too, but I'm just a not-so-great Omega, I can't go that fast."

He Wenyuan had been waiting long enough today, and when he said these words, he deliberately did not turn off the Full-Band Communication so that his voice could be heard by the entire (Class 7.

He enjoys seeing people hate him so much they want to tear him apart, yet they can't get rid of him and have to obey his every word.

"..." Qiu Yongyan was furious, his face turning ashen.

This is what the students in Class 7 often used to describe He Wenyuan in private during the training period.

He Wenyuan hadn't reacted much when he heard this before, seemingly indifferent, but it turns out he remembered it all and was waiting for it here.

[The vengeful Bao is online! Love it! For all of you who ganged up to isolate and diss my Bao back then, you'd better all be dead before you get there!]

[I thought He Wenyuan would keep up the act at school for a while, but he revealed his true colors so quickly. Back when they were facing Lailisi and the others, they were ambushed by He Wenyuan several times before they realized something was wrong.]

[Of course he wanted to pretend. Didn't you see how gentle and harmless he acted when he enrolled? He just underestimated Qin Su, kicked a hornet's nest, and was forced to reveal his true colors prematurely.]

[Come to think of it, if it weren't for Qin Su, He Wenyuan might have kept up the act for who knows how long. Qin Su is awesome!]

[Heh, what good is Qin Su anyway? Maybe he's waiting to reap a big harvest at the last minute.]

[I koko--]

The students in Class 7, who were assigned to Purge the Geometer Moth, looked grim when they heard the conversation coming from the Communication Channel.

Someone tried to say something, but someone nearby quickly covered their mouth.

Then I used my personal Optical Brain to display a piece of text:

[If he hears this, he'll make things difficult for us again.]

Also trapped in the Geometer Moth Cave, the other members of Class 7), who were 'out of ammunition and food,' agreed to remain silent.

Continue communicating via text displayed on the Optical Brain.

[They clearly knew we were at the forefront, yet they still assigned us so few weapons; they obviously wanted us to die.]

[What could we do? We were the ones he specifically chose to lead the charge; each of us has some connections. If we wanted to stay in school and earn more Star Coins, we had to obey orders.]

These words plunged a group of students from Class 7, who were huddled back-to-back, warily watching their surroundings, into a suffocating silence.

After each battle, players who survive will receive Star Coins based on their performance, and at the end of the term, they will receive another reward based on their performance.

High risk, high reward; if they drop out of school and look for other jobs, they won't get nearly as many Star Coins.

[Let's wait a little longer. He's come in person; we should be fine.]

[When we leave, can we take Zhuang Fan's body with us?]

[... The Geometer Moth was covered in eyes, each eye filled with teeth. Encased within it like a pupa, Zhuang Fan... should have been completely destroyed.]

The words may be harsh, but they are the truth.

The dozen or so people inside the dark cave felt indignant and their noses stung with tears.

Geometer Moths have many eyes and move slowly. They rely on flapping their wings in the sky to scatter poisonous powder that poisons their prey, rendering it unable to move. Then, they use their wings, covered in teeth, to envelop their prey and tear it apart, leaving only a pile of bones.

The school has different Combat Suits for different insects, and the Combat Suits they wore this time can protect them from the poison and powder attacks of the Geometer Moth.

In other words, the difficulty of this task has been significantly reduced.

As long as they maintain their speed and have sufficient weapons and ammunition, Purge this nest of Geometer Moth will be a piece of cake.

Unfortunately, they were unlucky.

There's something wrong with the Combat Suits; they have a vulnerability that wasn't flagged.

By the time they noticed the anomaly, the poisonous powder from the Geometer Moths falling from above had already seeped into their bodies through the gaps in their Combat Suit, greatly reducing their movement speed.

Based on their physical condition from their first real combat experience, if they were poisoned by the Geometer Moth, there's a high probability they wouldn't be able to run far before the Geometer Moth grabs and devours them.

It was the 'learning from Class 6) ' trend that swept through the training period a while ago, which made them persist in the competitive extra training, resulting in a significant improvement in their physical fitness, allowing them to continue their escape even with their poisoned bodies.

Therefore, compared to the number of deaths in their class during the first real combat exercise, the fact that only one person died after two days is already a significant improvement.

If Zhuang Fan hadn't been so unlucky as to slip and fall into the pit, unable to climb out, he wouldn't have been so easily entangled by the Geometer Moth.

As if things weren't going to go wrong, He Wenyuan the guise of saving everyone's energy and ensuring enough rest time, insisted that they fight for a full seven days. He also uniformly allocated seven days' worth of ammunition to each person, regardless of whether they were on the front or back lines.

It's past nine o'clock now, and no matter how much they conserve their ammunition, those on the front lines have run out. They can only watch helplessly as Zhuang Fan is wrapped up and turns into a pool of blood.

The Warships lost contact again, so they had no choice but to turn back and find a hole where there were no Geometer Moths to hide for the time being.

In this way, they can not only avoid being exposed to the poisonous powder of the Geometer Moths floating in the air, but also temporarily prevent themselves from being eaten by the Geometer Moths by simply blocking the entrance with stacks of stones, without using weapons.

During this time, they repeatedly sent out requests for assistance to the rear. The students who were closer to them had few weapons left, and there were Geometer Moth outside. It would be useless for them to come; not only could they not drive away the Geometer Moth, but they would probably have to find a cave to hide in with them.

Currently, only He Wenyuan has enough weapons.

Their original plan was for He Wenyuan to give the weapons to Qiu Yongyan, and then Qiu Yongyan would bring the other classmates to rescue them.

Unexpectedly, He Wenyuan also came by himself.

Although the feeling was strange, they had no time to pay attention to it at the moment. Outside, Geometer Moths were flying around and crashing into the stones they had piled up. They, who were holding them back, could only pray that He Wenyuan stop causing any more trouble and hurry up.

10 PM.

He Wenyuan, piloting the Warship, arrived late with Qiu Yongyan.

Even from a great distance, Qiu Yongyan could see countless Geometer Moths hovering around the coordinates sent by the team members from He Wenyuan.

They crashed one after another into the cave where the seventeen students were temporarily hiding.

According to their request for assistance to He Wenyuan, they have been poisoned by the Geometer Moth powder, which slows their movement. Even if they were given weapons, they would be unable to fight the Geometer Moth.

The antidote for the Geometer Moth was kept under He Wenyuan's control inside the Spaceship.

With so many enemies, he and He Wenyuan alone simply couldn't defeat them.

"Why haven't you let the others from the neighborhood come over yet?" Qiu Yongyan had been trying to persuade He Wenyuan until his lips were raw, He Wenyuan still hadn't given the order.

"Huh? Didn't I remember giving the order? Why haven't they arrived yet? What's going on?" He Wenyuan showed Qiu Yongyan the screen on his Optical Brain, which indeed showed that he had sent a message half an hour ago asking other people nearby to come over.

In Full-Band Communication, each person checks their own Optical Brain.

Qiu Yongyan a deep breath, stopped arguing with He Wenyuan, and hurriedly asked in the channel, "Who received it?"

"No."

"I don't."

"I don't either."

Amidst the continuous stream of voices, no one indicated that they had received it.

"Then there must be a problem with the Optical Brain," He Wenyuan sighed. "I never thought it could be like this."

Qiu Yongyan so angry he almost fainted.

Suppressing the urge to pinch someone's philtrum, and not having time to investigate whose writing it was, Qiu Yongyan dared to report the coordinates before He Wenyuan shut down the Full-Band Communication, sending people nearby to this side. He then picked up the weapons carried by the Warship and looked at He Wenyuan with pleading eyes.

"Class Monitor, let's go over there quickly." Qiu Yongyan aimed at the Geometer Moth near the cave entrance to lure them at him, while requesting He Wenyuan to maneuver the Warship over.

The poisoned students couldn't hold out for long. There weren't many stones in the cave, and they didn't have time to move many of them in when they hid inside.

As the stone shattered, revealing a large hole, the Geometer Moth sharpened its head and squeezed inside, its two wings, covered with eyes, flapping wildly, blowing another thick cloud of poisonous powder into the hole.

"Good."

He Wenyuan ignored Qiu Yongyan's movements, picked up a cannonball, and began firing.

Boom!

The bomb suddenly shattered the rocks blocking the hole into pieces.

"!"

The students hiding in the cave looked horrified, never expecting that the shell would hit the rock they were leaning against instead of the Geometer Moth.

If it weren't for the Combat Suit they were wearing, they would have been thrown around with the collapsing rocks.

The stone blocking the cave entrance shattered, and the seventeen people hiding inside lost their temporary shelter. Dragging their poisoned bodies, they fled while shouting for help.

"Are you crazy?!" Qiu Yongyan's eyes widened in horror at the screams of his classmates, who were gripped by the fear of death.

But he didn't have Warship and couldn't get there immediately.

"What are you yelling about?" He Wenyuan, who had turned off Full-Band Communication and the live-action recording, showed no sign of panic. "I have my own plan."

Everyone here will die before anyone else gets here.

Once their Optical Brain were cleaned up, no one knew what had happened there.

As the only survivor after the rescue failed, the old man would cooperate with whatever he wanted to say.

The old man discovered that his body was naturally suited for modification; Glands that would cause a strong rejection reaction in others would only cause him temporary discomfort when placed on him.

This means that in the old man's mind, who values Alpha over B and Omega, he can become an Alpha and inherit everything from the Xuan Family once he has had enough of being an Omega.

Xuan Jingxi could never have imagined that all her efforts to render the old man infertile, preventing her from having a third child, would ultimately benefit him.

However, he was originally outside of Xuan Jingxi's plans. Xuan Jingxi never expected that, besides her, the old man also had this illegitimate son who had been living away from home.

In short, as long as he has the potential to become an Alpha, no matter what he does, the old man will clean up his messes.

[Ahhh, so cool, my darling, well done! Go to hell, all you crickets, go to hell!]

What's the point of having the same kind of good person all the time? I want an evil pink cake (starry eyes)!

[A bunch of lunatics, aren't they afraid of becoming cannon fodder in his hands?]

I would gladly die at my hands.

[Hehe, I'll blow up your entire family before I die (winks). Don't be shy, it's my duty.]

[The celebratory remarks from the Plague God's fans are even more irritating than those from Geometer Moth; is this even allowed to be said?]

As Qiu Yongyan aimed at the Geometer Moth attacking the students scattering below, he opened his mouth and said, "You..."

Qiu Yongyan just opened his mouth when the Warship suddenly accelerated, leaving him speechless.

"Hold on tight," He Wenyuan's voice rang out after Qiu Yongyan's drawn-out words, "We're going to rescue them."

He Wenyuan finally rescued the person, Qiu Yongyan's heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled down. He focused all his attention on attacking the Geometer Moth were approaching his classmates, while diverting a sliver of his mind to He Wenyuan, who was attacking from behind and gradually getting closer and closer to him.

Standing high above, surrounded by the Geometer Moth, He Wenyuan could easily see that the seventeen students in Class 7 below were only concerned with dragging their poisoned bodies away and had no time to see what was happening on the Warship that was still some distance away from them, shuttling among the Geometer Moth. The corners of his lips under his helmet turned up.

He switched the heavy weapon he had been carrying on his shoulder to a light weapon that he could hold with one hand, He Wenyuan placed his other hand on his waist.

A blue light flowed through him, and a 15-centimeter Military Saber appeared in He Wenyuan's left palm.

He preferred the traditional method of stabbing someone, the way he could feel the blood seeping from the torn flesh, to long-range shooting weapons.

It will give him a great sense of accomplishment.

'This brute was unaware of his inner thoughts, and had spent the entire day getting used to me sticking close behind him.'

'And Qin Su didn't interfere.'

'This situation is truly a perfect storm of favorable timing, location, and people.'

Just thinking about what he was going to do later made He Wenyuan's lips curl into a smile.

'Sure enough, aside from He Muzhi, he only feels genuine pleasure when he's doing bad things.'

[It seems Qin Su has already ended his interference.]

[That reminder? How could that be? Could Qin Su possibly see into He Wenyuan's mind?]

[What's so surprising? Predicting in advance is just basic skill for pros.]

[They both used Military Saber, one saved lives and the other killed, tsk tsk tsk, how can they not be a match made in heaven?]

[Hey, stop bringing us up, OK? Please walk on your own (smirk)]

[This smug look on your face, baby, you're so cute today, I could die for you! Mwah!]

[Pop! I can't wait to pop the champagne to celebrate my baby's birthday, hehe]

[Hehehe, don't be too happy yet. Our Qiuqiu has been blessed by fate and received a reminder from 'God,' so she definitely won't leave easily.]

[Qiu Yongyan]

[Facts tell us, don't listen to Qin Su. He dares to snatch the Class Monitor position from anyone. If you Qiu fans want to blame someone, blame Qin Su for instigating Qiu Yongyan to fight for Class Monitor.]

Qiu Yongyan: "?"

Why is He Wenyuan acting up again? What does he want, standing so close to me?

Although they haven't welded their feet to the Warship ease of mobile combat, this is still a bit too close!

Qiu Yongyan immediately became extremely vigilant and dared not relax his guard in the slightest.

'It's getting closer.'

He Wenyuan's eyes darkened slightly. The Military Saber in his hand, rarely used by many, was actually no less lethal than those Firearms. In this case, it was mainly used to cut through the Combat Suit designed to protect against poison powder, provided he used enough force.

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yongyan's hidden flesh could be pierced by Military Saber.

Then, he would stir it violently a few more times and sever Qiu Yongyan's internal organs.

The beautiful imagery made He Wenyuan swallow hard. With his waist almost within reach, He Wenyuan gripped his Military Saber tightly and thrust it forward with all his might...

The expected sound of the Military Saber piercing flesh did not occur. Almost as soon as the tip of the knife touched the flesh, a tremendous force surged from his waist throughout his entire body.

'How is that possible?!'

One second He Wenyuan looked up in disbelief and met Qiu Yongyan's equally astonished expression, and the next second his body flew off the Warship.

Qiu Yongyan had been suppressing his impulse all day, finally stopped restraining himself when he felt a sharp pain in his lower back. Before his mind could process it, his body, acting on instinct, kicked out.

Having been under the suffocating oppression of He Wenyuan for so long, Qiu Yongyan's kick was delivered with full force, without any rational thought, and entirely driven by personal emotion.

Everything happened so suddenly that it was impossible to guard against. By the time Qiu Yongyan realized what was happening, his body had turned around to face He Wenyuan as he performed a flying kick. He saw He Wenyuan staring at him in shock as he flew out of the Warship along with the blood-stained Military Saber in his hand.

Qiu Yongyan: "..."

Oh no! Tian Gang disobeyed orders and beat up the Class Monitor!

[...???]

[Haha, you're a guy who keeps quiet but gets things done]

[Aren't you surprised? Plague God]

[Qiu Yongyan: You didn't expect that, did you? Actually, I didn't expect it either (looking completely bewildered)]

[So relieved!]

Qiu Yongyan's completely unexpected reaction and the feeling of weightlessness as he fell into a state of panic after He Wenyuan was initially taken aback.

He didn't instinctively try to control the Warship, but instead subconsciously Optical Brain to control his Combat Suit, activating the energy source attached to the soles of his feet.

His energy, unlike that of the useless people below, was sufficient to keep his body suspended in mid-air.

Just as a bright blue light rose from He Wenyuan's feet, two long beams of light from Particle Pulse Cannons struck him.

' He Wenyuan first blew up the only protective layer of stone for the students, and then tried to stab him to death. If he didn't want anyone to know, he would naturally turn off the Optical Brain and the real-time combat recording, so... he can't record anything like this!'

Qiu Yongyan immediately followed suit, turning off his personal Optical Brain's real-time combat recording.

Seeing the blue light rising from beneath He Wenyuan's feet, Qiu Yongyan's long-suppressed emotions erupted. His voice was extremely dry, and his mind was filled with the thought, "We absolutely cannot let him come up, otherwise, given his previous actions, all eighteen of them will die here today." With bloodshot eyes, he switched weapons and fired two beams of light in succession.

"Ah--"

The feeling of weightlessness returned, and the pain made He Wenyuan scream.

There was no turning back now; he had to seize control of the Warship.

Besides the authority granted by the school that forces them to obey the Class Monitor's orders, another possibility for seizing authority is to take advantage of someone's vulnerability and seize it when their Mental Power is at a low point.

'Suffering a severe attack will cause the opponent's Mental Power to drop drastically.'

The thought flashed through Qiu Yongyan gritted his teeth and decided to go all out. He unleashed unprecedented courage and fired several particle pulse beams at the falling He Wenyuan.

'So be it, at least we're all alive!'

[6 is not enough to describe my shock at this moment; Qiu Yongyan is my idol right now.]

They've gone berserk; look how angry they've made the child!

Is Qiu Qiu still mentally sound? I wonder how people in this world are judged for murder by mentally ill individuals.

[Qiu Qiu was going all out for the other seventeen classmates.]

"Ahhhh..."

He Wenyuan thought of taking control of the Warship, but it was too late. Intense pain swept through his body, causing him to slam heavily onto the ground with a thud, creating a large crater. Blood splattered onto his Visual Helmet, which had been rendered ineffective by the particle pulse light attack.

When he tried to seize control of the Warship again, he found that with his current Mental Power, he was no match for Qiu Yongyan, who no longer obeyed the school's orders and the Class Monitor's arrangements.

[As it turns out, a cornered dog will really jump over a wall.]

[I'm so angry! Stop it! Don't hurt A-Yuan! (Angry) (Angry)!!]

[Don't go too far in your actions. People who are desperate are capable of anything. However, Qiu Yongyan's actions violated the school's rule that students must obey the Class Monitor's orders during practical training, and he will be expelled.]

[Won't He Wenyuan die here today? One person's blood helped the Plague God perish today.]
