The acknowledgments section seemed fine at first glance, but coupled with Fang Tingrou and soft voice, it seemed to contain a hint of irony...
Gao Wen clearly noticed this as well, and took a step toward the stage, only to be surrounded by students who had been lying in wait.
Even from a distance, Su Cheng could still hear her shouting, "What do you think you're doing? Do you want to be expelled?!"
However, the threat acted as a fuse, and more students stood up, their eyes flashing with ferocity, their long-suppressed resentment turning into a fierce expression!
On stage Fang Tingrou and two other students exchanged enigmatic smiles as they recited in unison. "Thank you to the town, thank you to the school, thank you to the teachers, thank you to our parents..."
The chorus was drawn out, and the words of thanks were delivered in an odd tone; even the most oblivious person could tell something was wrong.
More and more students suddenly stood up and moved towards Gao Wen's direction.
They were holding utility knives, sharpened toothbrushes, pencils... all sorts of everyday items that could be lethal.
But even more intimidating than their weapons are the tentacles growing from their backs!
This time, the tentacles were not like phantoms during room checks, but rather real tentacles bursting out of the students' bodies, their deep red flesh resembling human organs.
The teachers realized something was wrong, but instead of helping Gao Wen, they all ran towards the gate.
They were well aware that there were too many students. A few dozen teachers were simply not enough to control the students who had broken free of their control.
Su Cheng and Yan Xing exchanged a glance and immediately prepared to leave the auditorium.
She chopped Hai Lu on the back of the neck with a chop to the neck. Hai Lu, who had been standing there like a wooden doll, was completely unprepared for the sudden attack.
Hai Shuang had a good impression of Su Cheng, and since Hai Lu was her younger sister, she could lend a hand if she had the ability.
Carrying people on their shoulders like sacks, Su Cheng and Yan Xing, who was close behind, ran towards the gate with the fleeing teacher.
No students interfered throughout the entire process.
Aside from the students who surrounded Gao Wen, most of the other students simply turned around slightly, smiling as they watched the teachers leave.
Fang Tingrou watched the teachers fleeing towards the exit, and was extremely satisfied with the fear on their faces.
"Teachers, you only have one minute to escape! Please enjoy our reward to the fullest!"
This is why the students didn't immediately attack all the teachers.
They wanted to enjoy the teachers' panicked expressions, to see them scurrying around the campus like rats...
Then they were slaughtered in despair.
Just wait one minute, and their hunting time will begin.
The roles have reversed; the prey has become the predator!
When Gao Wen faced a group attack, her body also mutated, with black phantoms wrapping around the students' bodies. As the administrator who held real power, her strength was undoubtedly the most formidable among the teachers.
At first, she could still yell, curse, and threaten, but later all that was left was exhausted panting...
The number of student corpses at her feet was increasing, soon engulfing her legs.
But death could not deter the students; their pent-up hatred erupted like a torrent, and they were determined to drag her down into the abyss no matter what!
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered in a perfect arc amidst the light and shadow in mid-air.
Gao Wen's head was thrown into the air, followed by her hands, feet, and limbs...
Wow!...
The students erupted in triumphant cheers, which echoed throughout the auditorium.
They laughed and tossed the limbs and organs in their hands into the air like graduation caps.
Their eyes were brighter than ever before, and their faces, stained with bright red blood, smiled with exceptional purity—a joy that came from the bottom of their hearts.
Fang Tingrou jumped off the stage, landing precisely on Gao Wen's head. She still held the microphone in her hand, and her cheerful voice blared from the speakers. "Classmates! As planned, it's hunting time!"
Fleshy tentacles shaped like wings sprouted from her back. "Let us repay our teachers in our own way, and let our blood wash away this prison!"
After Su Cheng and Yan Xing left the auditorium, they did not run towards the school gate with the other teachers.
One minute is simply not enough time to run to the school gate. When the time is up, the students' first priority is to chase after the school gate.
The well-trained students have an overwhelming advantage in running speed compared to their teachers.
If you're only thinking about escaping to the school gate at this point, you'll be the first to die.
Yan Xing: "Let's go to the teaching building first!"
There are three teaching buildings, each with eight floors. Since students cannot use the elevators, it would take time to check each one.
With only one minute left and time running out, Su Cheng couldn't think of a better place, so she could only hide in the teaching building.
The two ran towards the teaching building, and after running a distance, they could faintly hear cheers coming from the direction of the auditorium.
It's obvious that Gao Wen was murdered...
Although Su Cheng was carrying Hai Lu, she did not fall behind Yan Xing, but was even slightly ahead of him.
Her strength had undergone a tremendous change without her even realizing it, not only due to the enhancement brought by the Gene Lock, but also because of her frequent "training" in dungeons and the assistance of muscle-building supplements.
Upon arriving at the teaching building, Su Cheng swiped her work ID and was able to take the elevator to the top floor.
Yan Xing, bent over and panting, glanced at Hai Lu, "You two know each other?"
She was no stranger to Hai Lu; they had even exchanged information at the beginning.
Unfortunately, Hai Lu couldn't withstand the consciousness contamination and unknowingly became no different from the other indigenous people.
Su Cheng caught her breath, then asked Yan Xing for help, switching from carrying her on her back to lifting her up. "I know her, but I'm closer to her sister."
The elevator doors opened, and the two walked into the classroom at the end of the corridor. After locking the door, they squatted in a corner to catch their breath.
They didn't draw the curtains, and neither did the other classrooms. If this classroom were completely concealed, it would be obvious that someone was in it.
Su Cheng put Hai Lu down. After such a bumpy ride, Hai Lu was still unconscious, but her brows were furrowed and her expression was uncomfortable.
To prevent Hai Lu from doing anything bad while still unconscious after waking up, Su Cheng felt it necessary to keep her in a coma.
"What should we do next?" Yan Xing lowered his eyes in frustration.
As things stand, Yan Xing is a student and is not on the students' kill list.
Compared to Su Cheng, who is a teacher, the student who was previously constrained is now in a less dangerous situation.
But because of this identity, she is actually unclear about how to complete the main storyline.
Su Cheng was also clueless, but based on her past experience completing dungeons, she suggested, "Since we don't know for now, let's avoid the source of danger for the time being."
"Once you've ensured your own safety, observe what the students do next, and you'll know what the system task wants you to do."
Yan Xing nodded, clearly having taken her words to heart. She lowered her gaze and pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought, "If we don't want to confront the students directly for now, we can go to the lab. I know a place there to hide!"
Su Cheng pressed her ear to the ground and listened for a while, but didn't hear any "thump-thump" footsteps.
The students are probably still chasing each other around the school gate; they haven't found the teaching building yet.
"Then let's go to the lab now."
A note from the author:

Chapter 76
The laboratory was downstairs, and the hiding place Yan Xing mentioned was the laboratory's exhaust ventilation pipe.
The ventilation duct was narrow but large enough for them to squeeze in, allowing them to wait until the students had searched the area before making their escape.
"Wait, look over there." Yan Xing suddenly pointed out the window.
Su Cheng turned her gaze and vaguely saw a point of light through the window, but it wasn't very clear.
I quickly walked out of the classroom and looked down the corridor.
Flames shot straight into the sky from the direction of the dormitory building, while flickering lights also appeared from the direction of the cafeteria...
"They're going to burn down the school, not just kill all the teachers."
In that case, we can no longer stay inside the building!
"Hiss..."
A soft gasp came from inside the classroom.
Hai Lu happened to wake up at that moment.
"How did I get here?" Hai Lu touched the back of her neck, getting up from the ground with a look of wariness and confusion.
Hai Lu regained self-awareness.
At the same time, Su Cheng felt a certain pressure on her body seem to have lessened...
Ever since she realized that a force of rules was corrupting her perception, she has been on high alert, constantly wary of the ever-present pressure.
And at this moment... she felt the oppressive force of that unknown power lessen.
Is this why Hai Lu sober?
The reason for its weakened energy...
Su Cheng glanced at the direction of the firelight and figured out the reason: destroying the school could break the constraints of the rules.
She glanced at Yan Xing sideways, and whether it was her imagination or not, she felt that Yanxing's originally pale complexion had improved somewhat.
"They're definitely going to burn down the school building next; we need to get out of here quickly."
Yan Xing nodded in agreement, but a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Su Cheng glanced at Hai Lu, who had stood up in a daze, and was about to call out to her when she heard Hai Lu call out, " Su Sister Cheng?"
"Hmm, is the operation going smoothly?"
Su Cheng responded, but now was not the time to explain the situation.
"Yes!" Hai Lu took out the medicine from her bag and drank it. It seemed like she hadn't opened the Smart Bag in a long time. It was as if she had been asleep for a long time and had lost a piece of her memory.
Before the students arrived at the teaching building, when the elevator was still operational, the three of them went straight to the lobby on the first floor.
Su Cheng ran out of the teaching building, then suddenly stopped, letting the two run ahead. She then took out a small bomb from her bag, pulled the pin, and threw it inside.
A bomb was also thrown at the same time as the small bomb.
The one who threw the dart was Yan Xing; it seems she also considered the connection between school buildings and consciousness pollution.
Although Hai Lu was unaware of the situation, she still followed the two as they ran, quickly moving away from the teaching building.
Three seconds later.
An explosion sounded behind me.
With a loud "boom," smoke and fire shot upwards, the glass couldn't withstand the high temperature and shattered, and the fire became unstoppable!
