Lu Li? How did this good-for-nothing come back? Let him in.
Soon after, Lu Li and Ying Zi'an walked in, one after the other.
Zhao Hui craned his neck to look, noticing Xu Xiao and the other two still standing at the doorway, their expressions somewhat strange.
“Lu Li is hanging out with Xu Xiao? Not surprising, after all, that woman is too soft-hearted, she takes in any kind of good-for-nothing…”
Looking at Lu Li, covered in dirt from head to toe, the disdain in Zhao Hui's heart grew a few more points:
“Look at his pathetic state, he's probably been scared witless by the monsters outside and wants to beg me to take him in again…”
However, Lu Li didn't speak after entering the classroom. Instead, Ying Zi'an said ingratiatingly:
“Zhao-ge, Lu Li got something good!”
“Something good?” Zhao Hui frowned. “What good thing?”
“This!” Ying Zi'an held out an object and quickly approached Zhao Hui.
The latter was completely unprepared, his attention entirely focused on what was in Ying Zi'an's hand.
It was a yuan crystal, as red as blood.
“This is… a second-order yuan crystal?”
Zhao Hui was a bit stunned and subconsciously looked at the one in his own hand.
However, Ying Zi'an didn't answer.
More precisely, he didn't respond with the same fawning attitude as before.
Instead, it was the Claws that launched a sudden attack!
Because Zhao Hui had no defenses, Ying Zi'an's Claws effortlessly pierced his neck.
Blood gushed like a fountain, instantly splattering across half the classroom!
“Die! You go and die for me!!”
Ying Zi'an screamed hysterically, the anger of being humiliated and the ecstasy of a successful sneak attack twisting his facial features to the extreme.
“Ying Zi'an, stop it right now!”
Wang Xuyan was terrified and instinctively wanted to use her ability to heal Zhao Hui.
But Ying Zi'an didn't give her a chance. The Claws were pulled out and plunged in repeatedly, almost pulverizing Zhao Hui's neck.
“Whoever helps him, I'll kill them!!”
Ying Zi'an laughed maniacally, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Zhao Hui's:
“Treating me like a dog? Do you even deserve to?!”
Tian Yuhao cried out, trying to stop him:
“Ying Zi'an, if you kill Zhao Hui, who will protect us?!”
“Protect?” Ying Zi'an suddenly turned around, one hand dragging Zhao Hui by the neck, the other holding the second-order yuan crystal, stepping closer to Tian Yuhao:
“Do you really expect him to protect you? He's just using you all, then enjoying himself freely!”
“I can kill those monsters too!!”
With that, Ying Zi'an threw Zhao Hui's corpse forward and let out a defiant roar:
“Are you still going to stand up for this dead man!?”
The classroom fell silent.
Zhao Hui was already dead. Even with Wang Xuyan's healing ability, it was impossible to revive a dead person.
Tian Yuhao's ability was Reconnaissance, completely unable to contend with Ying Zi'an's Claws.
The other few girls also had no combat abilities. After all, when Zhao Hui chose them, it was just to build a harem.
Zhao Hui lost, he lost due to his own arrogance.
As everyone fell silent, Lu Li, who had been in the background, suddenly stepped forward and gently brushed his hand across Zhao Hui's face.
The corpse, which had died with open eyes, finally closed them, appearing somewhat peaceful.
“Lu Li, don't pretend here. Don't think I don't know what you're scheming!”
Ying Zi'an didn't deactivate his ability, wiping his face with his blood-covered Claws.
“What else do you know? Tell it all. Let's cooperate and carve out a world for ourselves in this apocalypse.”
Hearing Ying Zi'an's words, everyone in the classroom looked at Lu Li with some surprise.
So, this sudden turn of events was all orchestrated by this good-for-nothing 'Black Iron' rank?
Lu Li sighed and calmly said:
“Nothing else. I just got lucky and stumbled upon this second-order yuan crystal. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xu Xiao.”
Before he finished speaking, Xu Xiao walked in with Wang Chao and Ma Han.
The class monitor first glanced at the corpse on the floor, then frowned and said:
“That's right. It was an internal monster fight. A Lv.6 Motherworm killed a Lv.5 Motherworm, and the second-order yuan crystal came from that Lv.5 one.”
“When we found Lu Li, he was being chased by the Lv.6 Motherworm.”
Upon hearing this, everyone else gasped.
“A Lv.6 Motherworm? There are such high-level monsters outside the teaching building?!” Cheng Duoduo exclaimed, covering her mouth.
She was also one of the 'teammates' Zhao Hui had chosen, her ability being Storage Space.
This ability, just like its name, could create a space for storing items. It had no offensive power and was relatively useless.
In the early stages of the apocalypse, such players could still serve as human backpacks due to their abilities.
But as players continuously leveled up, an item called a space ring would replace the role of these players.
At that time, they would completely lose their value and be mercilessly abandoned by their teammates.
Perhaps to comfort the girls, or to show off his masculinity, Wang Chao chuckled:
“What's there to be afraid of? That Lv.6 Motherworm has already been taken down by us. The yuan crystal is with the class monitor! Class monitor, show it to them, mmm mmm…”
Before Wang Chao could finish speaking, Ma Han had already clapped a hand over his mouth, while grumbling:
“Only you have a mouth! Only you talk too much! Stay quiet!”
Seeing Ma Han's reaction, the simple-minded Wang Chao finally understood and quickly shut his mouth, no longer making a sound.
Yes, this was the apocalypse now.
The last person who showed off, his corpse wasn't even cold yet.
Xu Xiao raised a hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and spoke seriously:
“We're all classmates; there's nothing to hide.”
“The truth is just as Wang Chao said. The Lv.6 Motherworm in the back mountain of the teaching building was indeed killed by us.”
“However, it wasn't a solo fight as you imagine, but the result of concerted cooperation.”
Seeing Xu Xiao confirm it, Wang Xuyan immediately came over ingratiatingly:
“Xiao Jie, you're so amazing, can I join your team? My healing ability is very useful…”
A flicker of imperceptible disgust crossed Xu Xiao's eyes, but she still nodded:
“Not just you, I want all the classmates in the class to join.”
“Because only by everyone uniting and helping each other can we better survive in this apocalypse! Dictatorship, in the end, has no good outcome.”
With that, she gave Ying Zi'an a meaningful look.
Ying Zi'an was somewhat unconvinced and retorted, sticking out his neck:
“Easier said than done! Can you guarantee that you won't become a dictator like Zhao Hui?”
“My awakened ability is a boost-type, which means I have to cooperate closely with my teammates.” Xu Xiao patiently explained:
“However, if you don't trust me, I will respect your choice. Just, don't kill anymore.”
Ying Zi'an fell silent, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
He glanced at the righteous Xu Xiao, then at Lu Li, who had given him the second-order yuan crystal earlier.
Ultimately, he shook his head:
“Forget it. I'm not interested in joining your harmonious and friendly big family. Let me fend for myself.”
With that, Ying Zi'an lifted his leg and prepared to walk out.
Wang Chao suddenly stepped sideways, blocking his path.
Ying Zi'an frowned: “What are you doing? If I don't join you, you won't let me leave, is that it?”
Wang Chao stretched his neck, his skin rapidly hardening, and chuckled:
“Don't misunderstand, you can leave whenever you want, but before you go, leave that second-order yuan crystal.”
Ying Zi'an's expression darkened:
“What if I don't?”
