(Class 6 students. "?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the students of Class 6) all sped up and rushed to get behind Qin Su.

Qin Su wasn't in front; he was retreating so quickly that they felt uneasy.

Qin Su: "..."

He's just strong; everyone's still here, he won't let the bomb explode, there's really no danger ahead.

This is good, as it has inadvertently sped up the completion of today's tasks.

"Class Monitor, what's wrong? Is there some danger going to happen over there?"

Behind Qin Su, in a safe position, someone cautiously looked at the central area where Qin Su had previously been and asked in a low voice.

"... No."

Qin Su had no reason to lie to them.

The Class Monitor saw everything clearly from behind them, witnessing their panicked and embarrassing state.

(Class 6: "..."

Ugh, so embarrassing!

In terms of courage, they are still too weak. Class 6) awkwardly looked away, gazing at the sky and the ground.

[Boss 1: The speed is only slightly faster, that's all.]

[There's no way around it, it concerns the actions of Boss 1 shot, so everyone is used to being cautious at the slightest hint of trouble (covers mouth and chuckles)]

This is the influence of a big shot (thumbs up)

[Mainly, our Baby 1 didn't expect everyone to pay so much attention to his actions, hahaha]

"There's no danger, but something's wrong."

Qin Su spoke up, breaking the awkward atmosphere among the students.

"What's up?"

Everyone's attention was quickly diverted.

Qin Su didn't speak, but Raymond's voice rang out first.

"Are you stupid? Now that all the visible Lasbit Insect have been eliminated, only the Lasbit Insect King, which reproduces them, remains. What the Class Monitor is talking about is killing it!"

"Wow, you're so smart!" Jeffrey clapped his hands beside him.

"Of course!" Raymond said, hands on his hips. "I'm a soldier personally trained by the Class Monitor."

Sophia: "..."

How could anyone listen to even sarcastic remarks... Oh, it's Raymond. Never mind then, he does sometimes have a moment of madness.

"Ahem." He Muzhi coughed lightly, interrupting the students' bickering, and looked at Qin Su, signaling everyone not to waste time.

There wasn't much to wrap things up, and Qin Su didn't really mind. He Muzhi had spoken, he took the opportunity to echo Raymond's words, "Raymond is right."

Raymond held his head even higher.

To avoid startling everyone with the sound of an explosion, Qin Su gave a heads-up. "Be prepared, it's going to explode."

"Um!"

"Good!"

He gave everyone three seconds to react. Through the Visual Helmet, he saw the students staring intently at the center, looking ready. Qin Su withdrew his gaze and silently detonated the special bomb that had fallen into the deep sand.

Bang!

A loud explosion occurred on the ground.

The sandstorm and prolonged bombing had already caused some of the yellow sand to settle, and now it was filled with turbidity.

Yellow sand surged into the sky and scattered in all directions.

Without wearing Visual Helmet and adjusting the settings, it would be impossible to see anything in the air filled with fine sand at this moment.

With the aid of the high-powered scope of the Visual Helmet, the students of Class 6) can now not only maintain their vision in the pitch-black rolling yellow sand, but also see the broken and bursting mud mixed in with the blasted fine sand, which looks extremely tender living things.

According to the course, it is a larva that the Rasbit worm king has not yet had time to develop and is still in its abdomen.

The yellow sand and the broken, gushing larvae of the Lasbit Insect Larvae mixed together, causing Class 6) to shrink back and show a look of nausea.

For a moment, no one spoke. Everyone was secretly glad that their Class Monitor had warned them in advance; otherwise, those disgusting things mixed with yellow sand would have been poured over their heads.

After about ten seconds, the slightly heavy sand that had been blasted into the air fell back to the ground with a rustling sound.

Only a light, misty dust remained in the air.

"You all wait here, I'll go check the situation first." Qin Su said calmly, and the Warship he was on disappeared in an instant.

(Class 6 saw Qin Su's Warship again at a considerable distance from them, in the place where the explosion had occurred earlier.

"The Class Monitor always takes the lead in dangerous situations; how can I not be moved by that?" Jeffrey said, clutching his heart.

He Muzhi asked wistfully, "When will we be able to stand on our own like our Class Monitor?"

"He Muzhi, are you going to leave your Class Monitor and give it to someone from another class?" Raymond looked at him with a 'Are you out of your mind?' expression.

He Muzhi thought Raymond was making a fuss over nothing.

"You haven't forgotten, have you? The Fourth Military Academy is a four-year program, and every year there are students being advised to leave or reassigned. You don't have the luck to stay by the Class Monitor's side forever."

"Besides, no one will be responsible for us forever or stay with us forever. In the end, each of us must choose our own path according to reality."

No one knew why Qin Su, who was already excessively strong, would come to the Fourth Military School.

Just like no one knows which path Qin Su will ultimately take.

"Right." Raymond stroked his chin, seriously considering the feasibility. "But, I can just follow the route the Class Monitor took."

He Muzhi: "..."

So all he said was for nothing? Could they possibly keep up with Qin Su's pace? Qin Su wasn't going to wait for them forever.

After bringing the Warship to a halt, Qin Su listened to the voice coming from the Full-Band Communication and looked down to carefully examine the huge crater that had been blown out.

To be honest, he didn't know how far he could go or what path he would choose.

Whether he will even live to see that day is a question.

After his first real battle, he repeatedly seized every opportunity to deliver a strong performance, but his Life Points has only accumulated to 22 minutes.

More than six years of Life Points.

This is a far cry from the ten-year lifespan he last earned by winning a prize in one go through a 'grand death'.

Unfortunately, that kind of 'death' can never be replicated.

Even if it happened again, given that everyone believes he possesses advanced technology and is invincible, the effect would be significantly diminished.

While pondering, Qin Su had already scanned the basic situation.

Within the 100-meter-wide crater created by the blast lay the Rasbit Insect King, a creature entirely white, plump, and covered in fat, its body encased in a resilient-looking white membrane that shimmered in the sunlight.

The king of the Rasbit worm is male and has a unique structure. Its large and robust body is pointed at both ends and huge in the middle, resembling a spindle.

The head only accounts for 10% of the body; the rest is the Reproductive Cavity.

Because it was exposed to light, it unconsciously began to wriggle.

As the plump body moved, even through a thick but highly visible skin, one could clearly see the shapes of the larvae that had not yet been laid.

The larvae inside the Rasbit worm king are also clearly distinguishable.

In the Reproductive Cavity, which occupies 90% of the entire body, the part near the tail where larvae are produced consists of yellowish-brown, wriggling, curved, and sticky larvae in a linear fashion.

Once they are born, upon contact with sand and air, their yellowish-brown parts will turn pure black, and they will acquire parasitic abilities.

Further up, separated by a layer of snow-white, net-like septum, are pure white, linear larvae without any other colors.

Their appearance reminded Qin Su of a nest of densely packed, wriggling maggots.

The topmost part, closest to the head of the Rasbit worm king, consists of linear larvae that have not yet hatched in the reproductive chamber. These are eggs about the size of long grains of rice, still separated from the lower layer by a septum, and they are tightly packed together one after another.

Even though Qin Su already knew about the structure of the Rasbit Worm King, seeing it with his own eyes still made his scalp tingle.

He wouldn't even mention the two layers of thread-like larvae below, but if the rice-grain-like larvae in the topmost Reproductive Cavity were truly like grains of rice in the Real World, haphazardly stacked together, he would disregard them.

Unfortunately, they insist on being 'neat and tidy,' densely packed in layers, creating a visually jarring effect that is unpleasant to look at.

The bomb had blasted away the light sand covering the Rasbit King, also damaging the middle part of its body, specifically the reproductive chamber, creating a huge gash.

The broken white section that was previously flying with the yellow sand was the larvae that burst out from this gap.

Within the irregularly split fat layer, unformed white lines continuously "leaked" out amidst the 'pushing' of countless larvae.

The scene was too disgusting, so Qin Su didn't look at it for long. He quickly looked away and focused on the head of the Rasbit Insect King. While removing the military knife from his combat suit, he maneuvered the warship toward the Insect King's head.

The Rasbit Worm King's 'glands' are located on its head. He would take advantage of the gap and deep pit created when he used his saber to cut open the Rasbit Worm King's head to place the glands into a refrigerated container carried by the warship before scanning them into space.

From afar, the people in Class 6 could only see the Qin Su Warship flying downwards, and soon the Warship disappeared into the deep crater that had been blown open earlier.

"Damn it, I can't see it."

Although they were extremely curious, without Qin Su's order, (Class 6 people remained where they were and did not go forward to investigate.

[Is my VIP level not high enough?]

[Damn it, it roars like a dragon again! Why does my Baby 1 get so little screen time? Who treats their main Baby 1 like this? Other characters get ten shots, but my NP only gets one!]

[(Flips table) I'm so curious I could die!]

"Shh." He Muzhi listened carefully to the sounds coming from the Full-Band Communication and gestured for the students to be quiet. "Listen carefully, there's sound."

The students in Class 6, who were blind and could only obtain limited information through their ears, held their breath.

A rustling, sticky, and sloshing sound, like countless things rubbing against each other and crawling around.

"That sound... it doesn't feel right."

"To be honest, it's disgusting."

Qin Su successfully finished 'packing' the glands. Remembering the solution of the Rasbit Worm King, he used a sharp long knife to slice from top to bottom through the soft, white, translucent fat layer of the epidermis.

The sharp tip of the knife easily pierced the almost transparent layer of fat, from which the larvae huddled together burst forth, cluster upon cluster, crowded into different shapes, but all with their pointed tips facing outwards.

Qin Su: "..."

His eyes, his eyes!

Qin Su, who desperately needed 'Golden Beans. jpg' to heal his injured eyes, stopped scribbling on his Optical Brain while searching for high-resolution images of Golden Beans.

How could he enjoy this situation all to himself?

Since we're already here, everyone in Class 6) has to watch; not a single one can be left out.

Not only do they have to watch, but they also have to personally contribute their share; no one can escape this 'calamity'.

This is also part of everyone's training.

Having made up his mind, Qin Su flew upwards from the deep pit, leaving the Military Saber that had sliced through the flesh of the Lasbit Insect undisassembled and placed on his Combat Suit.

He felt the knife was temporarily dirty and needed to be aired out; he also needed to be mentally prepared to accept the knife being placed on him again, with a layer of care still attached.

When the students in Class 6 saw Qin Su reappear before them, their eyes gleamed with obvious excitement and curiosity.

At that moment, Qin Su's voice rang in their ears.

"Come here, everyone." Qin Su used a calm voice to conceal his inner turmoil and lured the students into the trap.

"Receive!"

Having been curious for a long time, the crowd responded to Qin Su's command with excited anticipation, and they took off running towards Qin Su's location.

[Ahhh, finally I can watch it!]

[Let me see what's going on (grinning)]

Sensing the students' high spirits, Qin Su silently lit a candle in his heart for them.

The first to arrive was He Muzhi.

Qin Su: "..."

"We have a guest; please come in."

"Class..."

He Muzhi's excited voice immediately stopped when he saw the larvae lying in the nearly 100-meter-deep pit under the Qin Su Warship, their bellies cut open to reveal the soft, juicy, wriggling larvae inside, for fear that he would ejaculate on the spot.

He Muzhi quickly looked away, wishing he could immediately rinse his eyes with water.

There was no water, He Muzhi could only watch Qin Su wash his eyes.

The guest looked pale and sickly, and Qin Su, with an understanding expression, sincerely offered his advice. "You'll get used to it."

He Muzhi felt nauseous and didn't even want to swallow his saliva; his gaze was distant and unfocused.

"..."

Only Qin Su could say something like that so casually!

For senior Military Academy students, only one unlucky class gets to draw this thing about every two months. Not everyone can get used to seeing such an eyesore!

The Viewers were initially clamoring to find out what Qin Su was looking at now wished they had a pair of eyes they'd never seen before.

[Ugh, sorry everyone, I really couldn't hold it in, I really didn't mean to vomit. Why are the insect eggs and larvae in the comments section even more disgusting than the adult insects? Ugh!]

[I have material for tonight's nightmare, and now I just regret it, I really regret it.]

[This... I'd rather not look at it (water in my eyes. jpg)]

[Ahhh, the manga artist is so immersed in her art that she's oblivious to disgust! She screams and throws herself into Hiroshima!]

[Hiroshi throws out twin tails in response... Forget it, these are even more disgusting than twin tails]

[I hate these soft, mushy, boneless, and oozing software bugs more than anything in my life. Those piles at the top are even more disgusting than golden apple snail eggs, like rows of densely packed fly eggs on meat! I'm dying!]

Others discover new beauty anytime, anywhere; what sins have I committed to constantly discover new disgust?

The other students from Class 6, who were a step behind He Muzhi, had seen the relevant pictures in class and were more receptive than those in the bullet comments.

But seeing it with their own eyes was so disgusting that they kept their mouths shut, lest they vomit in front of Qin Su and ruin their image.

They couldn't emulate Qin Su's calm and collected demeanor, so they could only settle for second best and focus on maintaining a 'decent' appearance.

Qin Su did not force everyone to focus their attention on the Insect King in the giant pit, which was abnormally active due to pain and thus appeared increasingly disgusting in their field of vision. Instead, he raised his right hand and issued a new command with his 'forty-meter-long sword'.

"The Military Saber is assembled to this length. Each student must make a one-meter-long cut in each of the three sections of the Insect King's Reproductive Cavity: the top, middle, and bottom."

Safety first. This length ensures that even if insect eggs or larvae of other forms are ejected from the cut during the slashing process, they will not splash onto the Warship or people.

"After you finish rowing, each student must pour the Fuel carried on the Warship into the opening that was made on the Insect King's body."

Bombing them into the air would leave a trail of 'meat paste' everywhere; Military Academies usually use Fuel to deal with this when carrying out missions to eliminate the Lasbit Insect.

Everyone must confront their fears. After this, it's possible that everyone's tolerance for disgust will continue to rise.

In the event of any sudden and frightening situation in the future, the psychological resilience will be heightened, allowing everyone to react in the shortest possible time.

(Class 6 students. "...

Just imagining that scene gave them goosebumps.

It was so disgusting that they were supposed to have to be promoted to a higher level to experience it, but now, under Qin Su's guidance, they were experiencing it ahead of time, leaving them with mixed feelings.

In Qin Su's mind, were they really that resilient? For a moment, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Let's begin." Since no one spoke, he took it as their agreement.

Qin Su set an example by making a long, expressionless cut in the middle of the Rasbit Worm King's reproductive chamber in front of his classmates.

The moment each cut is made, it is 'bursted' out, and countless identical larvae and eggs burst out like pus.

Forcing himself to finish, Qin Su returned to his previous position, the long sword dripping with sap. He glanced at the students who were frozen in place and said calmly, "Your turn."

"... receive."

The voices of the people had clearly lost their previous excitement; their voices were filled with resistance.

But...

Qin Su's scrutinizing gaze swept over them coldly, his long sword gleaming with a chilling light. Even if they had a hundred lives, they wouldn't dare to refuse.

Unable to refuse Qin Su, the students of Class 6 obediently fought with their knives. After they finished, they were horrified to find that Qin Su's cool gaze fell on them in an instant.

(Class 6 students. "...

The Class Monitor was clearly putting pressure on them, silently urging them to complete the task.

Avoiding the problem won't solve it, but it might solve his own. Qin Su didn't really want to be solved, and the best way to overcome fear was to face it directly. Qin Su forced himself into 'staring' mode.

He stared—

The more Qin Su observed, the more he realized that he could simultaneously observe the different forms of larvae and judge the force applied by the depth of the cuts made by his classmates, as well as the state of the torn tissue layers.

In the end, even the fat squeezed out with a "biu" sound revealed different kinds of beauty in Qin Su's eyes depending on the way it was cut.

"Liv's cut was beautiful, the edge clean and precise, each layer of fat sliced at the same level. The larvae inside remained perfectly still for two seconds as the blade passed through."

' Sun Lei's hand was definitely trembling when he made the cut; the incision was sticky and stringy.'

As it turns out, human potential is limitless. Under Qin Su's oppressive and cold gaze, no student in Class 6) dared to 'slip up'. No matter how much they resisted, they forced themselves to deal with the white, trembling mass of flesh that was nearly 100 meters long and 70 to 80 meters wide.

"I will have a severe psychological aversion to foods like caviar from now on."

+1.

"By the way, did you take any pictures?"

"I took the photos; of course I have to share this 'good thing' with everyone."

"I wholeheartedly support this!"

Half an hour later, the Insect King in the deep pit was riddled with holes, and the larvae in the Reproductive Cavity were soaked in Fuel.

At Qin Su's command, the students of Class 6) on the Warships that were arranged in a circle pulled the pins of the Incendiary Bombs with a diameter of ten centimeters and dropped them.

The moment it came into contact with the Fuel, a dark blue flame burst forth from the deep pit.

A strong smell filled the nostrils, and the Warships scattered.

After dealing with the Insect King, the next step was to Surface Detection and Cleanup Operation. The area was large, so Qin Su divided the Bombing Zone and singled out some of the students in Class 6) who had the best reaction ability.

"He Muzhi, you're in charge of Zone B; Sheng Shuang, you're in charge of Zone C..."

After the assignments were completed, Qin Su arrived at the largest area, Area A. The other students left the Warship and, using the foot-mounted energy of their Combat Suits, hovered not far from the ground, using Detectors to search for any remaining insects that had not been completely eradicated in the sand.

Qin Su and the other selected students adjusted the parameters of their Visual Helmets and took charge of their respective areas to prevent students from being so focused on what they were doing that they were not paying attention to their surroundings and risking being parasitized by the Lasbit Insect.

The final cleanup was of utmost importance, and every student was completely focused. During the two hours of meticulous cleaning, no one uttered a single word.

After the first round of cleaning, even with Temperature Control inside the helmets, almost every student had a fine sheen of sweat on their foreheads due to the intense mental strain.

Qin Su let the students who had completed the first round of near-ground cleanup rest on the Warship, while he led the students who had been selected to take charge of their respective areas for the second round of cleanup.

Due to the unique nature of Lasbit Insect, it's impossible to completely clean every nest. They've done their best to stir and clean, but there's simply nothing they can do about the rest.

Everything was finally over, and another hour had passed. The familiar sunset painted half the sky red, and everyone was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Qin Su confirmed that there were no traces of Lasbit Insect on any of the students or the Warship, and then led everyone back to the Jump Point.

Parasitized by the Lasbit Insect, they would exhibit certain abnormalities over time. Upon returning to the Jump Point, Qin Su ordered each student to return to their Rest Pod, prohibiting gatherings. After conducting a complete test himself, he notified each student individually, calling them to an open area of Spaceship for a separate full-body scan, utilizing human vision technology.

"Ruan Chengye's matter is definitely not Samuel." After the scan ended, He Muzhi explained to Qin Su in a low voice, "Class Monitor, I know this is subjective, but Samuel is one of my best friends, and I know his character..."

"I know." Qin Su interrupted He Muzhi, telling him what he had seen on the live stream, which made He Muzhi worry about Samuel, "It's He Wenyuan."
