Worse Than Beasts (Extra Chapter)

"Hey, which of you four wants to practice with them?"

The girls, each exuding an air of laziness, immediately averted their gaze.

"The winner doesn't have to do their homework..."

Kevin placed his hand on Murata Himeko's shoulder, a playful smile on his face. No sooner had he spoken than Kiana, the academically challenged worst student, jumped out like a rabbit kicking its legs, arm wrestling excitedly.

"Captain, I'll take care of this! Finally, I'll have time to grind dungeons tonight, hehe!"

"You have three minutes. If you lose or run out of time, the homework will be doubled..."

The man raised his wristwatch and responded with a smile. Kiana shrank back in fright, about to beg for mercy, when she saw Kevin had already started timing on his own.

Captain, you big asshole! You're always trying to screw me over!

Kiana, though full of resentment, knew Kevin's absolute authority when it came to teaching. She immediately flashed a fierce glint in her eyes, snapped her fingers, and frantically activated her core, pulling the entire training ground into Spatial Rift.

"The Commandment of the Void! Energy Stream Shift!"

"The Void Lock! Stasis Space!"

Immediately, Kiana, who had been tricked by Kevin before, became extremely cautious, adhering to the strategy of first applying buffs, then applying crowd control, and finally unleashing her full power to deal damage.

In an instant, within a few breaths, a dazzling tide of energy surged forth. Before the seven members of the Super God Academy could react, they were bound and immobilized by the silver-purple Void Spear.

Immediately, the Queen's six asymmetrical wings fluttered slowly, her body levitating. As her fingertips tilted forward, void gates behind her tore open, unleashing a torrent of energy.

"Space-Time Shockwave! The Void Realm Descent!"

"This is the time of judgment!"

Holy crap! We're doomed! The Three Musketeers of the Grassland, who were just Muggles a few days ago, hadn't even adjusted their mindset yet. Seeing such a magnificent and dangerous attack, they turned pale and were terrified.

Even Du Qiangwei, who possesses the Space-Time Gene, couldn't protect herself under this terrifying power, let alone take care of her teammates.

In an instant, as they were struck by the torrent of energy, everyone felt their hands and feet turn ice-cold, and fear began to grow within them.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the enclosed Space Prison shattered like a soap bubble when touched by the outstretched right index finger, and the surging torrent of energy was simultaneously wiped out.

The birds were still singing and the flowers were still blooming, a gentle breeze was blowing, as if what had just happened was merely an illusion.

If that heterochromatic-eyed girl across from me wasn't carrying three pairs of Chicken Wing and walking down transparent stairs step by step...

Kevin slowly stepped forward, casually pulled out a handful of candy and a PSP game console from the Spatial Rift, handed them to the smug Kiana, and sent her to Himeko's side for training.

In the eerie silence, the man turned around with a half-smile, his tone mocking.

"Tsk tsk, can't even beat a child, quite capable indeed. Du Qiangwei, tone down your arrogance and focus on leading your troops properly..."

"So, Ajie has already taught you the basic drills and formation exercises, right?"

"See that hill over there? This physical fitness test is a weighted cross-country run. You have to climb back before dark, or you won't get a result. Anyone who doesn't do well will have to double their training tomorrow..."

Everyone looked embarrassed, but faced with absolute suppression, they dared not refute in the slightest and could only silently pick up the equipment on the ground and line up.

On their first day of class, Kevin naturally wanted to put down the arrogance of these kids. After all, after living an ordinary life for two or three decades, suddenly discovering their superhuman identity would make anyone a little cocky.

Of course, to avoid backfiring, Kevin smiled and sent the electronic document to everyone's wristwatches.

"To make this trail run more exciting, I've deployed a top-tier international mercenary force, lying in ambush along the route. They'll use conventional weapons to create all sorts of trouble for you..."

"If you can wipe out the entire enemy team, I'll give each of you a gift. If you defeat one enemy individually, you'll receive a reward of ten thousand yuan..."

The morale of the Super God Academy students, which had been somewhat low, suddenly brightened when they saw Kevin's kind and encouraging gaze, and their confidence gradually returned.

We can't beat superhumans, but surely we can easily defeat a bunch of ordinary mercenaries?

"Mission accomplished!"

The crowd stood tall and shouted, and then, led by Du Qiangwei, they marched towards the summit in a grand procession, their eyes gleaming with a green light like that of a vicious wolf.

However, they were clearly not like the group of little girls behind them, whose eyes already revealed the look of someone eyeing a silly roe deer.

"I'm betting a bottle of sangria that none of them will come back!"

"Two chicken drumsticks, the one from Du Qiangwei, it looked alright..."

"Regarding the two choices for dinner, I agree with Teacher Himeko..."

Meanwhile, the crew of the Hyperion, who remained where they were, began whispering and placing bets.

Kevin pressed the communication button, connected to the name marked with a black wolf head, looked at the mountains, and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Wolf Mom, are all your people here?"

The female soldier, wearing a breathing mask and leaning against the hillside, observing the movement of the smoke and dust through military binoculars, nodded solemnly.

"Captain, they're in position..."

"According to the information you provided, these superhumans who have initially unlocked their Gene Lock are already immune to ordinary bullets, resistant to high pressure, high temperatures, radiation, and can even survive in a vacuum. I've never seen a species like this before..."

"Just to be on the safe side, we're prepared to use all our existing firearms before considering close combat..."

"It's probably unlikely that we can completely wipe them out, but just delaying them should be no problem."

Kevin nodded in satisfaction, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Don't hold back, treat this like a frontal war, fight it out!"

"Using war to sustain war, and learning from each other, is also my goal."

"Therefore, there's no holding back when dealing with these superhumans. Use your experience from missions at the SCP Foundation to teach these greenhorns a lesson!"

Wolf Mom Ruper let out a cold, nasal sound, followed by a series of gun-scratching sounds coming from the communicator, along with a chorus of malicious laughter that added to the sinister atmosphere.

Mercenaries also come in different types. In order to let the young men of the Deno Galaxy experience the cruelty and reality of the battlefield firsthand, Kevin naturally borrowed the Wolf Pack Task Force from the SCP Foundation.

For the past decade, thanks to the close cooperation between the SCP Foundation and governments around the world, politicians who wanted to train troops and alleviate the burden of supporting veterans have given the Wolf Pack Squad a free pass to recruit professional soldiers.

Therefore, among the seven task forces, the Wolf Pack Squad has the largest number of members, equivalent to two regular divisions.

With Wolf Mom, Grim Reaper Hank, Leon, Chris, and others taking turns leading the team, and under the cruel system of raising freaks, everyone inside is a tough, twisted monster.

Moreover, due to the missions assigned by the SCP Foundation, these wolves are also highly experienced in dealing with supernatural creatures.

Therefore, Wolf Mom and her gang were more than capable of bullying a few children from a peaceful era, but this unique game was enough to give Du Qiangwei and her friends a run for their money.

The man pondered for a moment, then opened his communicator, connected with Dukao, and with a playful expression, sent the long-planned greeting.

"Old Du, interested in making a bet?"

P. S.: The third update is being written and is expected to be released around 2 PM.

Chapter 695, Section 728: More Beastly Than Beasts (Bonus Chapter)

The next day, at the Super God Academy, the once-empty cafeteria was filled with a cacophony of voices and wails.

"Holy crap, that teacher was really cunning last night! A whole regiment of mercenaries!"

With bandages on his nose and forehead, and bruises around his eyes, Zhao Xin touched the back of his head where his ponytail had vanished, and angrily chewed on the only super-compressed beef jerky on his plate, his face turning black.

"Don't say anymore, Xin Zhao, it's all tears..."

"Various calibers, light and heavy weaponry, all sorts of traps and booby traps, and they even have man-portable missiles and attack helicopters! This is outrageous! They're treating us like rabbits!"

Ge Xiaolun, whose right eye was bruised, patted his fellow sufferer on the shoulder to comfort him, and with all his might, he managed to tear off a piece of this special nutritious food.

"Rabbits? If your rabbits were that badly damaged, they wouldn't even have a single hair left, right? Yesterday's firepower almost leveled half a mountain. Even Bin Laden would have been physically executed!"

Cheng Yaowen pressed his aching chest, twitched his lips, and gasped.

"Of course! In our area, even handling knives is considered serious. I've lived half my life and never even seen a bullet. Now we have all kinds of weapons, light and heavy. My head is still spinning."

Liu Chuang, a thug who came carrying a plate, felt sorry for the big gold chain he had put in his pocket before leaving, and complained as he ate.

Cheng Yaowen put down the beef jerky, counted on his fingers, and felt a mix of regret and resentment.

"Moreover, those bastards are too cunning, playing a game of ambush and blocking, never giving us a chance to engage them head-on!"

"We so-called super life forms actually spent a whole day and night there before we crawled back. Damn, you were right, we really did crawl back!"

Immediately, Zhao Xin rubbed his bruised knee with an Affliction, still feeling lingering fear as he recalled what had happened the night before.

"You're all doing alright, at least you're resilient. You're the kind of people who can withstand three rounds of man-portable missile attacks and still be alive and kicking."

"When those bastards realized they couldn't get to me, they all turned their attention to me. I found half a pound of depleted uranium armor-piercing shell casings at the scene. They really are picking on the weak!"

Since his talents are primarily in agility, Zhao Xin is clearly in a much worse state compared to the three tough and resilient beasts beside him.

This guy is not only covered in bruises and patches from large-caliber armor-piercing shells and high-explosive mines, but he almost lost his genitals last night.

As the four were talking, the girls, whose situation wasn't much better than theirs, also formed their own little circle. Du Qiangwei, sitting in the middle and enjoying the admiring gazes of Rui Mengmeng and Qilin, was implicitly the leader of the three.

Upon seeing this, Ge Xiaolun and the others, who had a personal grudge against these girls, subconsciously looked away, their male pride deeply wounded.

There was no other way; Du Qiangwei was the only Super Soldier who broke through the firepower network, captured one of the enemy soldiers, and had the opportunity to complete the mission.

Moreover, although this woman is a bit arrogant, she didn't abandon her teammates.

While they were trapped in the mountain valley, struggling to breathe under the pressure of both light and heavy fire, Du Qiangwei used her spatial awareness to take charge of the most dangerous bomb disposal and reconnaissance work. Her command and dispatch were also quite competent, with no major flaws. You have to admire her.

"Hey, this afternoon is still Teacher Kevin's practical class. We're going to change battlefields and continue sparring with those mercenaries, you know that?"

"You four, sit down together and discuss your next move, or you'll be eating dirt for dinner..."

Seeing the members gathered in the cafeteria, Du Qiangwei hesitated for a moment before turning around and extending an invitation.

Several men who had initially been somewhat reserved immediately seized the opportunity when Du Qiangwei broke the ice, rushing to the girls' table and sitting down with awkward smiles.

"This is the information I got from Teacher Kevin in exchange for that prisoner. Take a look at it all, familiarize yourself with them as soon as possible, and find their weaknesses and tactical styles!"

While Du Qiangwei finished creating the group chat and adding everyone, she also transferred a 1GB electronic file to the group archive for easy browsing by the team members.

After all, she came from a military family, and Dukao was grooming her as his successor. Therefore, Du Qiangwei's true nature was beyond doubt. She clearly distinguished between public and private matters and knew better than the people in front of her what to do at what time.

They actually used precious prisoner slots to exchange for intelligence? Everyone was slightly taken aback, but then they were completely convinced of the aloofness of the team leader.

With this document paving the way, everyone began to discuss the application of strategies and tactics enthusiastically, and Du Qiangwei even used her position to bring Ajie, who was good at surprise attacks, into the group.

Thus, under the guidance of professional instructors, everyone's minds were filled with flashes of inspiration, and they quickly integrated what they had learned.

Meanwhile, sitting at his desk, Kevin turned slightly, threw a thick stack of combat reports into the drawer, then popped a chocolate into his mouth, chewing as he asked questions.

"What do you think of these greenhorns?"

"Livestock!"

"A bunch of monsters!"

Wolf Mom Ruper and Grim Reaper Hank frowned as they gave their assessments, their expressions grave.

"I think they're even more animalistic than livestock!"

Although Leon did not play yesterday, as the head of the Wolf Pack Squad's command system who observed the entire battle, his expression was also not good.

"If deployed on the battlefield, it would be a game-changer, extremely dangerous!"

Chris, accustomed to American ways of thinking, not only felt pressured by his presence at the Super God Academy, but also developed a greater sense of apprehension towards this mysterious Eastern country.

Kevin opened the microcomputer interface, pulled it up with both hands, and the mere rough feedback data sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

After a day and a night of bombardment, these animals not only escaped fatal injuries, but after breakfast, their wounds healed, their strength was restored, and their physical attributes increased exponentially!

"I think I understand now just how terrifying the God Creation Project in the Deno Galaxy truly is..."

Kevin slowly leaned back in his swivel chair, closed his eyes, and tapped the table, his tone somber.

"Simply put, their Sequence Gene Code is a perfect technology tree. As long as it's properly nurtured and enriched with enough energy and combat skills, theoretically they could blossom and bear fruit overnight, quickly taking shape!"

"Because the Deno Galaxy has already completed its civilization's dimensional ascension and established a comprehensive Gene Growth System. The path has long been paved, so walking it again will basically not be stumbling over any steps..."

Murata Himeko, who walked slowly out of the darkness, seemed lost in thought, her brow furrowed.

"You mean, these students don't have clear life level boundaries like Fools, Apostles, Knights, etc.? It's like playing a game where you don't need to do class change quests and can just grind experience points?"

Kevin nodded slightly, a hint of envy in his eyes.

"As long as they absorb enough energy and their bodies can digest and absorb it effectively, their growth will be smooth sailing..."

"On the contrary, the Civilization Ascension Earthlings is much more arduous. No matter what lies ahead, whether it's a mountain or a river, we have to explore step by step, and we may fall down countless times."

"Therefore, the elimination rate for superhumans to advance is terrifying."

"You spent ten years and used massive amounts of Gene Serum to only reach the peak of individual skill— the Knight-class. The pinnacle of their technology tree is at least True God..."
