Learning to Protect Oneself

Traitors have no human rights.

When An Xiaoxue, Xu Tui, and Gong Ling found Cha Yifeng, he was still tied up like a shrimp, and his injuries were even worse than before.

After knowing he was a traitor, many people specifically came to kick him or throw stones at him, and no one would stop them.

"Professor An, thank you so much today." Seeing An Xiaoxue approach, Liu Tianhu expressed his gratitude slightly, though his voice was a bit hoarse.

"You don't need to thank me, it's my duty," An Xiaoxue said.

Liu Tianhu said nothing more.

Protecting students was indeed An Xiaoxue's and the other teachers' duty.

But it was rare to see someone like An Xiaoxue fighting so desperately.

"Any results from the interrogation?" An Xiaoxue asked.

Liu Tianhu shook his head, "He must have undergone professional and special training, and also received drug resistance training.

Ordinary mental influence agents are ineffective.

This is why he was able to pass all the checks."

"Jincheng Prefecture also provided feedback. His home, office, and personal communication devices have all been cleaned out long ago, with nothing of value left.

His family has also disappeared.

Neighbors said they hadn't seen his family for at least two days.

He must have been prepared before departure," Liu Tianhu said.

"Then how will he be dealt with?" An Xiaoxue pointed at Cha Yifeng.

"It will be handled by the higher authorities. Under normal circumstances, he would be sent to a military court and face execution, definitely shot! But..." As he spoke, Liu Tianhu suddenly gave a wry smile and paused.

"But what?" An Xiaoxue asked, confused.

This situation made An Xiaoxue frown.

It left Xu Tui completely bewildered.

Having Cha Yifeng face legal judgment and be shot was absolutely what he deserved.

Liu Tianhu suddenly took out an evidence bag. Inside the sealed evidence bag were the two false teeth that Xu Tui had pulled from Cha Yifeng's mouth earlier.

False teeth made of a special material called Magnetized Tantalum Alloy, capable of emitting special signals.

"They might have made a new breakthrough in the magnetization technology of Tantalum Alloy. The magnetism of this thing is almost gone," Liu Tianhu said, shaking the evidence bag.

"The magnetism is almost gone?"

An Xiaoxue's eyes widened, "You mean in a little while, this Magnetized Tantalum Alloy will become ordinary Tantalum Alloy and can no longer emit special signals?"

"It also means these false teeth will no longer be usable as evidence to prove he is a spy."

Having said this, Liu Tianhu suddenly took a deep breath.

"In this situation, although he can still be shot in a military court, if this kid rambles and reveals some clues, and drags things out, he might have a chance to live."

Liu Tianhu only said half of what he meant, but the implication was clear, his words filled with frustration.

Let alone An Xiaoxue, even Xu Tui felt so frustrated upon hearing this potential outcome that he wanted to vomit blood, a suffocating feeling swirling in his chest, making him extremely uncomfortable.

An Xiaoxue kicked Cha Yifeng, "He's really a traitor. Your plan was quite brilliant, and your calculations were meticulous."

Cha Yifeng gritted his teeth and remained silent.

An Xiaoxue became even angrier.

Often, silence meant affirmation.

"Scum!"

An Xiaoxue cursed angrily, but she didn't strike Cha Yifeng again. Instead, she turned to Colonel Liu Tianhu and said.

"One of the two students who died was on my bus."

"I know," Liu Tianhu nodded.

"Your soldiers sacrificed even more."

Liu Tianhu's face was grave.

"I don't like probabilities, I like certainty, not even extremely small probabilities!" An Xiaoxue's expression turned stern.

"And, the wartime regulations are still in effect, right?"

"Naturally, and because of the recent surprise attack, the ordinary wartime regulations have automatically been elevated to emergency wartime regulations," Liu Tianhu replied immediately, as if he had realized something.

"Very good. I believe there is a possibility of encountering another attack in the future. To eliminate potential dangers, I suggest conducting a surprise interrogation of this spy," An Xiaoxue said.

"Intelligence Staff Officer, record," Liu Tianhu ordered.

"Yes!"

"I agree with Professor An's opinion. For safety reasons, we should immediately use unconventional methods for a surprise interrogation of Cha Yifeng," Liu Tianhu commanded.

"Go, hang him up," An Xiaoxue said to Xu Tui.

Xu Tui didn't quite understand what An Xiaoxue was planning, but he realized at that moment that she was definitely going to deal with Cha Yifeng.

She very efficiently hung Cha Yifeng from a nearby large tree.

Also realizing what was happening, Cha Yifeng suddenly cried out in terror.

"You can't do this!"

"I'm going to court, I have a team of lawyers, I'm going to court!" Cha Yifeng screamed in fear.

"Last chance, give us your emergency contact information," Liu Tianhu demanded.

"It's no use. His accomplices have already discovered he's been captured, and right now, all the emergency contact information he knows has been cut off and they're already sweeping for any potential loose ends. He's no longer valuable," An Xiaoxue said.

A sudden, inexplicable chill ran through Xu Tui's heart. At that moment, An Xiaoxue's voice was filled with killing intent.

"Lend me your dagger," An Xiaoxue said to Xu Tui, pushing away Gong Ling's support.

Xu Tui still had the tactical dagger from before.

"I'll do it. Even if there are problems, I've got nothing to lose."

Liu Tianhu stepped in front of An Xiaoxue. With a few slashes, the dagger cut several gashes on Cha Yifeng's head and neck. Because he was hanging upside down, blood immediately gushed out.

At the same time, Liu Tianhu casually dislocated the jaw of Cha Yifeng, who was about to scream.

Cha Yifeng struggled violently, only able to emit muffled sounds from his mouth. The more he struggled, the faster he bled.

As a commander, Liu Tianhu had the authority to kill spies who resisted on the battlefield. However, when it came to captured spies, even as commander, he couldn't execute them arbitrarily.

Although theoretically he had the power to do so.

But he was a soldier and had to follow discipline. After capturing a spy alive, he had to report to his superiors and clearly state the necessity of the execution in the report. This was procedure! If the reason wasn't strong enough, he might even have to write a self-criticism! He might even face a political review afterward!

However, with An Xiaoxue's involvement and endorsement, things would become much simpler. Executing this spy wouldn't cause so much trouble. This was also why Liu Tianhu had sought out An Xiaoxue.

"This surprise interrogation lasted five minutes. The spy, Cha Yifeng, died from excessive blood loss due to previous injuries," the intelligence staff officer recorded rapidly.

Cha Yifeng, however, struggled frantically, his expression contorted with fear. With so many wounds and bleeding out while hanging upside down, he wouldn't last five minutes; he'd be finished in three.

Watching this scene, the frustration that had been building in Xu Tui's chest suddenly vanished. It felt so good!

An Xiaoxue, on the other hand, looked at the struggling Cha Yifeng with a face full of killing intent. "I, An Xiaoxue, hate traitors and betrayers the most in my life!"

With that, she turned and left.

Her words sent a chill down the spines of Gong Ling and Xu Tui, who remained at the scene. To be honest, both Xu Tui and Gong Ling had wanted to inflict the harshest punishment on Cha Yifeng, the traitor, even kill him. But wanting something was one thing; doing it was another. Witnessing it happen firsthand was an indescribable shock to Xu Tui and Gong Ling.

After a few moments of stunned silence, Xu Tui and Gong Ling hurried to catch up. Gong Ling carefully supported the somewhat unsteady An Xiaoxue. Their gaze towards An Xiaoxue suddenly felt a little unfamiliar.

"What, do you think I'm cruel?"

"No!" Xu Tui replied, and Gong Ling shook her head.

"Teacher An, I just don't understand, why not just shoot spies like this on the spot?" Gong Ling asked, puzzled.

"Everything is about rules and procedures. The law is also just," An Xiaoxue replied suddenly. "But, many times, bad people understand the law better than good people, and know the law better. Therefore, many times, we have to understand the law and rules better than bad people, and use the rules to better protect ourselves and more people."

An Xiaoxue's voice suddenly took on a meaningful tone.

"Everything you've encountered today has likely shattered your understanding of the world. Once you arrive at Huaxia Gene Evolution University, you'll slowly discover that the world you're about to engage with is completely different from what you previously knew!"

"Remember, the first thing you need to do is learn to protect yourselves."

As she spoke, An Xiaoxue glanced back at the tree from which Cha Yifeng was hanging. "Liu Tianhu agreed to my proposal primarily to protect himself as well."

"As for me, my reasons are even purer."

"I, An Xiaoxue, hate traitors the most!"

An Xiaoxue's final sentence sounded more like it was spoken to herself.

Gong Ling and Xu Tui exchanged a glance, suddenly realizing.

On this matter, Teacher An Xiaoxue might have a story to tell.

About half an hour later, after tending to the wounded, everyone reboarded the vehicle.

Originally, the severely wounded were supposed to go to the medical vehicle.

Cheng Mo, for instance, was considered severely wounded.

However, due to insufficient beds in the medical vehicle, Cheng Mo, being among the less severely wounded, was to travel with the main bus first and be treated later.

On the bus, Xu Tui directly used seats to create a makeshift bed for Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo, being quite carefree, didn't need Xu Tui's care. After eating a hearty meal, he actually fell asleep.

With nothing else to do, Xu Tui returned to An Xiaoxue's side.

"Teacher An, I have some questions for you."

"Sit!"

An Xiaoxue got up and offered Xu Tui a seat beside her.

"Teacher An, can you tell me about cyborgs? Why have I never heard of cyborgs before?

And that Earth Element Extraordinary User, why was he so strong?

And Teacher, what kind of ability does your Mysterious System fall under?

How are you so powerful?

You can block plasma rounds from high-energy electric sniper rifles, and you can fly?

Can we learn that in the future?"

As soon as Xu Tui sat down, he bombarded her with questions.

Hearing Xu Tui's questions, Gong Ling also leaned in. "Teacher An, I want to know too."

"Oh, right, Gong Ling, isn't your Mysterious System ability plant control?" Xu Tui asked, then quickly added.
