Heroic

Chen Tong clenched his fists, his bones cracking, filled with utter unwillingness.

At this moment, the two students who had been taken over by parasites and were blocking their path suddenly lunged forward.

Su Ming's nerves tensed, and he quickly calculated possible countermeasures, but all the results led to a dead end.

Just as they were falling into despair, a massive figure suddenly descended.

Bang~

The two students taken over by parasites were immediately crushed, black blood splattering everywhere.

A training Mecha, Iron Head, landed powerfully in front of Su Ming and the other two.

"A training machine!"

Su Ming exclaimed in surprise.

"It's dangerous here, you guys hurry to the sports field."

Lin Chuyu's voice came from the training Mecha Iron Head. She then skillfully maneuvered the Mecha past Su Ming and the other two, smashing a pursuing humanoid parasite with a single punch.

These Chilami juvenile parasites were like ants in front of the Mecha.

After dealing with the parasites surrounding Su Ming and the others, Lin Chuyu charged towards the parasites wreaking havoc in the distance.

Minke, who had narrowly escaped death, let out a long sigh of relief and said with great joy.

"We're saved, let's hurry to the sports field."

"Okay!"

Chen Tong immediately agreed.

Just as the two of them were about to run towards the sports field, Su Ming grabbed them both and said, gasping for breath.

"Don't run to the sports field, it's not safe there."

"How could it not be safe? It's very wide open there, and the guards and security will be moving towards that area."

Minke asked, full of confusion.

Su Ming explained to the two, still catching his breath.

"Come on! Use your brains. The sports field is wide open, but how many people are running there from the school? It'll be packed, and those rat-like parasites are agile. The guards and security definitely won't be able to hold them off. When the rats get into the crowd, it'll be a disaster."

"Then where do we go? Is there anywhere else that's safe?"

Chen Tong asked Su Ming, suppressing his anger.

"To the Mecha training grounds. There should still be training machines there."

Su Ming replied, still out of breath.

"Right! So far, we've only seen one training machine. There should be many more there!"

Minke suddenly realized.

"I can't believe your dumb brain can come up with a good idea. Let's go get Mechas and blow these damn monsters to hell."

Chen Tong was also extremely frustrated, and his anger had nowhere to be vented.

"Then let's go!"

Su Ming said after regaining his breath.

The three immediately ran towards the training grounds, with panicked students running everywhere along the way.

Teachers, holding flamethrowers, defended against the parasites while continuously shouting at the fleeing students.

"Run towards the sports field, watch your step, and stay away from any rats or strange creatures you see."

Su Ming and the other two had a clear objective, running against the flow of fleeing people.

At this moment, a female teacher saw the three of them and immediately shouted at them.

"Where are you three going? You're running in the wrong direction, don't go that way."

"Sorry, teacher, we have something to do!"

Minke turned his head and shouted back.

Seeing this, the female teacher could only sigh and let Su Ming and the others go, as she couldn't manage them all.

The three of them ran towards the northern area of the school. Since the dormitory buildings were located below the northern area, and Lin Chuyu had just fought her way through from the front, the path was relatively safe, with no parasites in sight.

A few minutes later, Su Ming and the other two arrived at the northern area.

"It seems safe here. I don't see any infected people. We're really lucky!"

Minke said gratefully.

"Don't let your guard down. Let's hurry over there. The training grounds are just ahead."

Su Ming said, still catching his breath.

"Hmph, it's you who can't run anymore, not us."

Chen Tong retorted irritably.

"I know."

Su Ming struggled to hold on, feeling like he was about to drop dead.

Before long, Su Ming and the other two saw the massive training ground, its gates still open.

"It's right in front of us."

A look of ecstatic joy appeared on Su Ming's face.

Chen Tong and Minke were also very excited. Once they got into the Mechas, those Chilami would be nothing more than small fry.

However, just as victory seemed within reach, a faint, hoarse squeaking sound suddenly arose.

Su Ming's senses sharpened, a chill ran down his entire back, and he instinctively shouted, sensing danger.

"Careful!"

Chen Tong and Minke were startled by Su Ming's sudden shout and immediately stopped.

At that moment, they saw a rat emerge from the training ground's gate, its dark red eyes fixed on them.

In the very next second, seven or eight more rats followed, their mouths agape, dripping with mutated cellular fluid.

It was clear they hadn't found prey inside the training ground and had come running upon hearing the commotion.

"What do we do now?"

Minke asked, his scalp tingling.

"What else can we do? We have to rush in and get the Mechas, or we'll all get bitten to death."

Chen Tong was also about to go crazy with anger. Victory was clearly within their grasp.

"Don't be rash. Our chances of rushing in are less than one percent. These rats are very agile."

Su Ming quickly advised Chen Tong against it.

At this point, Minke took a few steps back and said nervously, "They're coming at us!"

Just as Su Ming was about to grit his teeth and tell Minke and Chen Tong to scatter and run back, a stream of fire shot out, instantly igniting several of the rats.

The remaining mutated rats, like a disturbed beehive, immediately scattered in all directions.

Su Ming and the other two were stunned for a moment, then turned to look. When they clearly saw who had arrived, they exclaimed in surprise.

"Teacher Tang!"

Teacher Tang, wearing pajamas and holding a portable flamethrower, ran over and asked with great concern, "Are you alright? Were any of you bitten?"

"We're fine. Teacher Tang, what are you doing here?"

"I heard the alarm and rushed back to school with my flamethrower right away. I came here to get a Mecha. Wait! What are you guys doing here?"

Teacher Tang explained halfway through, then suddenly realized and asked.

Why were these three brats here instead of fleeing?

"We were thinking of coming to get Mechas too!"

Su Ming and the other two replied awkwardly.

Teacher Tang was taken aback by their answer. However, he didn't dwell on the matter and waved his hand.

"Follow me!"

Su Ming and the other two followed Teacher Tang toward the training ground. On the way, Minke asked worriedly, "Teacher, are you okay?"

"At a time like this, how can I worry about myself? If anything happened to any of you, I would never forgive myself."

Teacher Tang replied sternly. He knew very well that many people would die in this incident, and many of his students were surely among them.

Hearing this, Su Ming and the other two felt a warmth in their hearts. The figure of Teacher Tang walking ahead suddenly seemed incredibly tall.

Several minutes later, Teacher Tang successfully led Su Ming and the other two into the training ground. Four training machines stood silently within.

"There are exactly four, one for each of you. Hurry up and get in!"

Teacher Tang strode directly towards training machine number two.
