Escorting

In fact, to deal with these younglings, Su Ming didn't even need to pilot his Mecha to launch complex attacks. He just needed to lift his foot or swing his hand.

"Are you guys okay?"

Su Ming awkwardly asked the terrified underclasswomen in front of him.

"We're fine. Are you a senior?"

The short-haired underclasswoman was stunned when she heard Su Ming's voice, asking in disbelief.

"Yeah, you guys should run quickly."

Su Ming urged them.

"B-but where can we run? There are Chilami parasites everywhere."

The short-haired underclasswoman asked fearfully.

Hearing this, Su Ming also found himself in a difficult situation. He then asked, "How many people are left here?"

"So many. The teachers and security guards who came to evacuate us were all bitten to death. We have nowhere to hide and no idea where to go."

The short-haired underclasswoman replied immediately.

"How about this? Gather everyone here, and I'll find a way to escort you to a safe place."

Su Ming told them.

"Okay, we'll go call everyone over now."

The five of them then dispersed to call people.

Su Ming, meanwhile, activated his wireless communication to call Minke and Chen Tong.

"Minke, Chen Tong, pilot your Mechas to the front of Dormitory Building 17 immediately and help. There are many people here who haven't been evacuated."

"We also have quite a few people who haven't been evacuated on our end. Wait a moment, we'll bring them over together."

Minke and Chen Tong responded immediately.

"Alright!"

Su Ming replied simply and then closed the communication.

Not long after, Minke and Chen Tong arrived piloting their Mechas, bringing over a dozen students.

"Su Ming, we're here. You've gathered so many people?"

Minke said halfway through, then his eyes widened as he saw over a hundred surviving students gathered beside Su Ming. He was completely taken aback.

Looking at so many people, Su Ming also got a headache. He helplessly said to Minke and Chen Tong, "There's no other way. Let's talk about the main issue first. It's not safe here, and we need to escort them to a safe place. Where do you think is a good place to send them?"

"With so many people, I feel like we can only send them to the sports field. After all, everyone else is there."

Minke said after some hesitation. Although Su Ming had previously mentioned that the sports field might not be entirely safe, the problem was that with so many people, they had no other safe place to accommodate them.

"Fine!"

Su Ming had no choice.

So the three of them shouted to the gathered students.

"We'll escort you to the sports field. Everyone follow behind, don't fall behind!"

"Okay."

Everyone replied with great joy. With training machines escorting them, even if they encountered parasites, it shouldn't be a problem.

After Su Ming and the other two finished their instructions, Chen Tong and Minke piloted their Mechas to the sides of the crowd. They formed a triangular formation, escorting the students towards the sports field.

Along the way, one or two parasites in school uniforms would occasionally rush forward.

Su Ming piloted his training machine and easily swatted them away with a single blow.

However, the students following behind the training machines looked at the eliminated parasites with complex expressions. These parasites were their classmates not long ago, and some were even close friends. For a moment, the entire group became very silent and quiet.

Time ticked by as they moved through the atrium, heading towards the sports field.

As the sports field grew closer, suddenly, some parasitic rats scurried out from the surrounding buildings and attacked the crowd!

"Damn it, it's a swarm of rats!"

Chen Tong shouted in alarm and anger.

"Stomp them! Don't let the rats get through!"

Su Ming's nerves instantly tensed. He controlled his Mecha to charge forward and stomped his foot down, instantly crushing two rats.

Immediately after, Su Ming's Mecha bent down, and he raised his hand to slap the rats on the ground, much like playing whack-a-mole.

"Understood!"

Chen Tong and Minke, treating it as a grave enemy, began catching the rats.

While these parasitic rats were not as strong as human-shaped parasites, they were the most troublesome. Because they were small and swift, they posed a significant challenge to the three of them.

Su Ming held his breath, his focus absolute as he repeatedly swatted at the attacking rats.

Though Su Ming's movements appeared comical, he could clearly feel himself improving at a rapid pace. It was true that real combat was the fastest way to grow.

Before long, most of the rats were dead. Su Ming controlled his mecha, lifting its foot to crush the last straggler.

However, just then, the short-haired junior student and the others suddenly shouted at Su Ming in alarm.

"Watch out, senpai!"

Before Su Ming could react, the mecha suddenly lurched violently, taking a stumbling step forward.

Su Ming was also startled and turned to look.

He saw a Chilami parasite, formed from the fusion of five broken humanoid bodies, standing four meters tall. Its veins bulged, its skin was highly hardened, and it had grown two heads. It had ambushed him.

The thick armor on the entire back of the mecha had developed several dents.

Su Ming frowned slightly and controlled his mecha to punch it.

The parasite was sent flying straight out, hitting the ground and bouncing, then hitting the ground again. Its entire body was deformed.

But even so, it still shakily got back up.

Su Ming controlled his mecha to walk over, punched it down again, and then lifted its foot to stomp directly down.

Bang!

The parasite was directly stomped onto the ground by the mecha's foot, its chest and abdomen crushed. But its limbs were still struggling; its vitality was unusually tenacious.

Su Ming again controlled his mecha to lift its foot and stomp down on its two heads. With a splash of black brain-like matter, it finally stopped moving.

"Are you okay?"

Minke asked Su Ming with concern.

"I'm fine. Let's hurry and escort them to the field,"

Su Ming looked at the dead parasite and felt a growing sense of unease. He then turned and scanned his surroundings, only to find that the number of Chilami pouring in from the main entrance was increasing, to an abnormal degree.

This indicated that the situation outside the school was also very dire, meaning they were likely in a heavily affected area.

Of course, Su Ming didn't know that the Lower City beneath their school was even worse off. They were, after all, located in the Upper City, a key protected zone.

"Okay!"

Minke and Chen Tong responded solemnly.

At this moment, the spacious school field was filled with a dense crowd of students, all shaken and terrified. Many still had tear stains on their faces.

Teachers, security guards, sentries, and over a dozen training machines surrounded the students, forming a defensive barrier with their own bodies.

Whenever a parasite approached, they would immediately attack with flamethrowers and firearms, eliminating them.

However, just then, a swarm of infested rats appeared from all directions. Their dark red eyes fixed on the dense crowd on the field, their mouths bared, and they were extremely agitated.

Then, these swarms of rats charged madly towards the field.

"Not good, the rat swarm!"

Teacher Chen Yi, piloting a training machine, was the first to spot the rat swarm. He roared in shock and anger.
