Chapter 6, the Scythe Beetle! Harvesting Human Flesh

Li Jiayu is certainly confident, possessing at least a seventy percent assurance, as he has fought against insects countless times in his previous life, to the point of becoming completely numb to them. Even though he no longer has the extraordinary abilities he once had, his combat awareness remains exceptionally strong. In terms of combat awareness, perhaps only the top elite special forces from various countries could rival him.

Some girls on the second and third floors were terrified to the point of screaming as they jumped out of the windows. However, without exception, they all broke or fractured their legs and lay on the ground, groaning and unable to get up

Don't eat me! Please don't eat me!

The students on the first floor must be hiding in the classroom, having locked the door tight... but...

You are amazing! I'm leaving, is that alright? I'll hide in the cargo room on the thirteenth floor, leaving you to wait and die on the sixth floor, hum!

Do you think you are a god of war? Below there are a hundred giant worms! Over here, there are two main teaching buildings... Therefore, at least fifty of them have entered our building! Fifty of them! That is equivalent to fifty small tanks! Even if we exert all our strength, it is uncertain whether we can deal with one, and you want to come and kill one after another until you reach fifty? Even if you are invulnerable, you will still be exhausted to death!

Harvesting human flesh

Ah? How can that be? This idea is utterly terrible

"What? Is it the first scythe beetle that you mentioned that cut off my brain?" Zhou Jiamin felt herself becoming wet again.

Just at the moment when Chen Zhongliang had just left, Li Jiayu felt a tremor in her ears and suddenly looked out the window

The situation is becoming increasingly severe, and the threats are growing larger. The classrooms on the first floor have been completely overrun by insects, and the unfortunate students have all been mercilessly slaughtered

You! Hmph! You promiscuous person! I have long found you, Sun Weiwei, displeasing! No wonder you would sell your body in the future, willingly becoming a mistress; it turns out you are already so lewd! Isn't Li Jiayu just a bit more handsome? Why are you protecting him so much? Are you infatuated with him, wanting him to protect you and then sleep with him?

Sun Weiwei stared at Li Jiayu, feeling that the way he spoke those words was very unfamiliar, almost making her feel as if she had mistaken him for someone else—previously, Li Jiayu, though possessing delicate features, was overly kind and too weak, which often gave people the impression that he was somewhat effeminate. However, now Li Jiayu had shed his previous softness, becoming decisive and exuding a compelling charm.

What happened? Zhou Jiamin asked

Li Jiayu remained as still as a mountain, while the howling cold wind outside stirred a few strands of his dark hair, floating gracefully, indescribably charming, just like his deep black eyes, sharp yet cold.

As the class monitor, Sun Weiwei was flustered and issuing commands, but the classmates did not act immediately; instead, they all looked at Li Jiayu—clearly, at such a moment, Li Jiayu was evidently more dependable for the classmates.

Chen Zhongliang glanced at his classmates around him and noticed that they seemed to be clearly leaning towards Li Jiayu. He realized that it would be difficult for him to command them, so he turned around and said in a deep voice

Immediately following was a series of piercing and desperate cries, the unique hoarse screams of the girl, which caused everyone to feel a dull pain in their eardrums

If it can be said that the classmates were merely anxious before, then after witnessing the fiery red beetle rush up the stairs, they were truly terrified, their hearts pounding and their teeth chattering.

"What right does he have? He only knows how to show off. We cannot accompany him to his demise... He can barely run a thousand meters without gasping for breath; how can we trust him in this situation... You should trust me. I am the physical education representative of the class, I am the strongest and most capable. That axe should be given to me! Hurry, give me the axe!" said Chen Zhongliang.

There is no need to lock the door; just arrange a few tables in a fan shape to slightly block the beetles... I want to go in and kill one!

Chen Zhongliang, who had always had a poor relationship with Li Jiayu, jumped up and exclaimed

Indeed, it will be my first offering

Scarab Beetle

At that moment, a loud crash echoed from the first floor

Sun Weiwei took a step closer to Li Jiayu, positioning herself between Chen Zhongliang and Li Jiayu, and glared at Chen Zhongliang, saying

Clearly, the iron door of a certain classroom on the first floor has been damaged by a giant insect

This must be an illusion ... ... an illusion ... ... Ugh ... ...

"Alright, alright, Chen Zhongliang, stop talking! I choose to believe in Li Jiayu!" Sun Weiwei said

Several classmates in the class, including some frail boys, were collapsed on the ground, as if all their strength had been drained, trembling uncontrollably

Who will come to save us? I do not want to die so young

Throughout the entire building, from the first floor to the thirteenth floor, everyone except Li Jiayu had a pale complexion. Although the insects' massacre in the classroom might not be visible, just hearing the screams was enough to infer how terrifying that slaughter was

However, how can the classroom door withstand such terrifying destructive power of those giant insects

Li Jiayu's lips curled into a faint, chilling smile as she licked her dry, chapped lips, tightly gripping the fire axe

They must be banging on the door

We should quickly lock the door! It can hold off for a while... It would be best to use the table to block the door! Moreover, we are on the sixth floor, so the threat from the insects will definitely be much less...

It's done, it's done! My girlfriend is having a class meeting in the classroom on the first floor right now! Who will go save her...

In less than five seconds, a series of intense banging sounds "bang bang bang" erupted from the first floor, like heavy hammers striking at the hearts of everyone present

Li Jiayu waved her hand lightly, as if giving Chen Zhongliang a glare. Chen Zhongliang felt a surge of killing intent piercing through his eyes like a sharp arrow, causing every hair on his body to stand on end as if he had been electrocuted. He shrank back, no longer daring to argue.

Witnessing those "jumping girls" rolling on the ground in pain while clutching their wounds, some who had contemplated jumping no longer dared to do so. At that moment, two bright red beetles unexpectedly appeared in the stairwell, returning to feast on those "jumping girls" who were sitting there waiting for their fate, gnawing away with a "crunch crunch" sound

Get lost, you should be grateful that I'm in a good mood today... Otherwise, the first axe I swing would be aimed at you!

Chen Zhongliang! Please conduct yourself with dignity!

That gaze ... ! ... was truly cold and dim, like a hawk looking down on its prey. Chen Zhongliang had no doubt that if he provoked further with his words, what awaited him would be a decisive blow, severing his head from his body

As soon as the words fell, a sharp buzzing sound echoed, and a group of dark, unidentified creatures suddenly appeared on the horizon, moving at an incredible speed, and within two seconds, they were in full view

Damn it... Is there really no one who chooses to stand with me?

Even from the distant sixth floor, far removed from the first, Li Jiayu could still smell the strong scent of blood

What is even worse is that they cannot escape even if they want to. They are completely trapped like turtles in a jar, caught all at once.

Scythe Beetle! The Scythe Beetle has also arrived

It was a black beetle, as large as a computer chair, with sharp black blades standing upright all over its body. What was most terrifying, however, was its mouthparts, which consisted of two mandibles that were a full meter long, resembling two bloodthirsty sickles

"Yang Zhisheng! You bastard, push me... Ah, my leg..."

Upon hearing Chen Zhongliang's words, the classmates in the class couldn't help but hesitate. Indeed, Li Jiayu's "doomsday prophecy" was quite shocking, instilling a sense of belief among the classmates. However, ...! ... but after all, Li Jiayu is still a student, and his previous performance in class was that of a weak boy, with combat effectiveness that was truly unimpressive

I am certainly not a god of war, but my combat awareness is far superior to yours. Moreover, I am well aware of the attack methods, weaknesses, and blind spots of those insects. As long as the tactics are applied appropriately, there is no doubt that I have a fighting chance.

At the same time, it is also the first talisman for me in this catastrophe

"Chen Zhongliang, be quiet! I, Sun Weiwei, am not so despicable! No wonder you suddenly went mad as if you had eaten gunpowder; it turns out you are jealous that Li Jiayu has stolen your thunder! There is something wrong with you! Seeing that I choose to trust Li Jiayu, you vent your anger on him. Are you still a man? At a time like this, you are still competing for attention?" Sun Weiwei said angrily.
