Chapter 6: The Thirty-One Man Team

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The only plans that the school can currently think of are these. If we rashly abandon the school, which we can temporarily hold on to, and enter the forest from the very beginning, it is conceivable that many lives would be lost

Once the iron gate is opened, these few green-skinned monsters will rush in. Without killing these green-skinned monsters, it is absolutely impossible for them to leave this place

Su Yu still wanted to say more, but Su Yu shook his hand to stop him, his expression unexpectedly serious. He glanced at Su Yu and suddenly said: "Actually, I am more worried about you. Staying here may not necessarily be safe. We only have two days... If we cannot find a safe exit... If we cannot find a rescue team..."

Su Yu slightly moved her body. Although her right hand could not move yet, the other parts were fine. She nodded and said, "It should be alright. My injuries were quite serious yesterday, but today I feel much better. It seems that... the benefits of killing that monster are not just an increase in strength; my recovery ability has also become quite formidable. In my opinion, after another day, my injuries will be almost healed."

Meng Bo let out a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face, and he murmured in agreement

Su Yu recognized that the girl with the beautiful big eyes was Qin Jiagu's girlfriend, the class flower of their Computer Science Class 1 for this year. Su Yu recalled that her name should be Yuan Nipin

Seventeen green-skinned monsters perished, leaving behind seventeen wooden sticks. These sticks are exceptionally sturdy, with a hardness that surpasses that of solid iron rods. Each stick is approximately one meter in length, and when swung, they possess tremendous power, easily capable of shattering small rocks.

After Director Zheng finished speaking, a cafeteria staff member served a sumptuous meal to the thirty or so attendees, complete with pictures and books.

Director Zheng and several leaders, along with a group of teachers and a throng of students, gathered at the iron gate to bid farewell. The few green-skinned monsters wandering outside seemed to sense something, immediately emitting sharp, piercing howls. Wielding wooden sticks, they once again began to strike the iron gate, causing it to resonate with a booming sound, and the people inside displayed expressions of both hatred and fear.

However, in terms of power, the wooden stick wielded by this green-skinned monster is the most terrifying. Given the urgency of the situation, the school cannot find any better lethal weapons. Although kitchen knives are sharp, they are too short. If we were to encounter the green-skinned monster with a wooden stick again, they would be of little use.

Su Yu quietly inquired about Qin's family, and this fellow actually knew a bit about the other party's background. It is said that the girl's name is Ma Ziye, and she is somewhat well-known in the Foreign Language Department. Her family runs a martial arts school, so it can be assumed that she has undergone some family training and should have a certain foundation in martial arts

You must be careful Suddenly, a gentle voice came from the other side

Su Yu turned around with a smile, shook her left hand behind her head, and said: "Got it, Su Yu, you really are chatty. Be careful, or no man will dare to marry you"

The thirteen individuals at the very front all possess extraordinary abilities, followed by a group of eighteen ordinary individuals composed of teachers, security personnel, and other students. In total, there are exactly thirty-one individuals, which constitutes the entire team for this mission.

I understand, don't worry, speak honestly, Su Yu. We've known each other for so long, and this is the first time I've noticed that you seem to care about me.

The matter of killing the monster to obtain special powers is now clear to everyone. Therefore, Su Yu and the thirteen others were summoned, and although more than ten others did not possess any special powers, they were all strong individuals. Among them were physical education teachers, school security personnel, and members of the school team, all of whom volunteered to participate. Altogether, the number reached thirty individuals.

Are you ready? A teacher, feeling extremely anxious, clutched the small iron handle of the giant iron door, which was secured with a massive iron lock. In the teacher's other hand was the key to this lock, but that hand was trembling uncontrollably

Everything was ready, and a group of more than thirty people, under the strange gazes of both reverence and fear from a large crowd of male and female students, made their way to the school gate

Su Yu suddenly fell silent, solely because the consequences were chilling.

Among them, the class leader Lei Rui and Su Yu were both in the farewell line. Su Yu noticed Su Yu looking at her with a hesitant expression, unable to hold back a smile and said: "Su Yu, I see you are quite concerned about me. If you have something to say, you should hurry up and say it."

Watching the group of humans gathered behind the iron gate, these green-skinned monsters continuously emitted sharp howls, appearing to be quite excited

With a "master" like Su Yu, who can slay four monsters in a row, Meng Bo's confidence greatly increased

Outside the iron gate, there were several green-skinned monsters wandering about, occasionally letting out a howl or two towards the people inside the gate. However, the gate was extremely high; they had tried many times but were unable to climb over it or damage it, which led them to give up. Yet, they continued to linger in front of the gate, instilling a sense of inexplicable despair and fear in those within.

Following closely behind him were Qin Jiagui, Zhang Zhongmou, and another student, Su Yu, who was unfamiliar with the *map* and *book*, along with Su Yu, Ning Yan, Ma Ziye, and others.

Before departure, each person was given a backpack containing enough food and fresh water for two to three days, along with some basic supplies such as gauze, cotton balls, and hemostatic sticks for first aid. Additionally, there were items like flashlights, lighters, and small knives. The school required them to spend two days searching; if they found nothing within that time, they were required to return.

Su Yu snorted softly, wanting to remain silent, but couldn't help but say: "You... you take care of yourself, don't act recklessly."

Clearly, Su Yu's remarkable feat of slaying four green-skinned monsters has caused quite a stir within the school. Therefore, despite understanding that Su Yu has sustained serious injuries, they still hold great expectations for him

The saying goes that an emperor does not worry about hungry soldiers. This time, they ventured deep into the forest to seek opportunities and sources of food, which can be said to be a gamble with their lives. Before their departure, the school prepared a sumptuous breakfast for them

When the green-skinned monsters first attacked, everyone was solely focused on escaping. At this moment, the crowd could barely calm down, watching a group of people about to engage in a life-and-death struggle with a horde of monsters. It was a mix of tension, fear, excitement, and various other complex emotions.

"I hope we can find someone to rescue us within two days; it would be even better if we could leave the forest," Zhang Zhongmou said, touching the bandaged half of his face.

With a soft sound of "bang," the small door beside the giant iron gate opened

Everything depends on the results of Su Yu and his group searching in the forest over these two days

Meng Bo walked over to Su Yu and whispered, "How is your injury? I initially reported to Dean Zheng that you were seriously injured and did not include you in the count, but I saw just now that you could get out of bed, so I had you come as well. How are you feeling now?"

Su Yu's face turned red with anger once again

Su Yu said: "I... definitely won't... It's your mother who asked me to keep an eye on you. Otherwise, who would care about your life or death? In any case, for your mother’s sake, you must come back safe and sound."

However, among the women, there were only Ning Yan and another girl from the Foreign Languages Department who had killed two green-skinned monsters.

The teacher nodded slightly, handed him the key to unlock, and then stepped back

Then, unable to help but lower their voice, they said: "There are many capable people out there, so don't recklessly try to show off. In fact, you are hurt and shouldn't have come at all. With so many people here, your absence wouldn't make a difference. How about we talk to Teacher Meng..."

Director Zheng, along with several school leaders, teachers such as Meng Bo, and groups of male and female students including Su Yu and Lei Rui, are all nervously sweating with their palms clenched at this moment

"No more words, in short, you just stay here honestly for a few days. I will definitely come back in a few days, it's a promise, do you understand, little girl?" After saying this, Su Yu's face returned to an indifferent expression.

Outside the massive iron gate, six green-skinned monsters have gathered, continuously swinging the wooden clubs in their hands to strike the iron door, producing a thunderous "bang" "bang" sound. Fortunately, this iron gate, forged from iron columns as thick as arms, is very sturdy and not easily damaged by brute force

The student with a crew cut took the key, holding a wooden stick left by the green-skinned monster in his right hand, while extending the key with his left hand. Without further hesitation, he turned it with a "click" and unlocked the iron lock

The continuous booming sound of "rumble" echoed as the green-skinned monster outside relentlessly pounded on the iron door. The short-haired boy swiftly removed the already opened iron lock with his left hand, then pulled the door handle back.

Su Yu was assigned a wooden stick as a weapon, along with several electric batons and other security equipment, which were distributed among the group. For those who still lacked weapons, baseball bats, iron pipes, kitchen knives, and similar items were provided, ensuring that at least one or two self-defense weapons were available for each of the thirty or so individuals.

Everyone present fell silent, and about ten individuals with extraordinary abilities pushed forward. Among them, a student with a crew cut, approximately 1.8 meters tall, took a couple of steps forward. Although he was about the same age as Su Yu, he bore a demeanor of remarkable composure and tranquility beyond his years, saying: "Teacher, please give me the key"

At this moment, the iron gate at the school entrance is firmly closed, and a group of people is on high alert inside, armed with various self-defense weapons

In fact, the food stored in the school barely lasts for two days. If Su Yu and the others do not find another source of food or a rescue team within two days, the school will have no choice but to abandon its efforts to remain. If they simply wait for death, they will have to take the risk of leaving this place.

"It is settled, Su Yu, you must remember this; I will not allow you to break your promise" Su Yu said earnestly, even speaking through gritted teeth

Su Yu cast a glance and soon spotted Qin Jiaguo not far from him, holding hands closely with a beautiful girl with big eyes. The girl wore a worried expression, speaking softly to Qin Jiaguo.

Just now, Su Yu learned that Zhang Zhongmou had also killed a green-skinned monster, one of the thirteen individuals possessing special abilities
