It was quite a while after Du Gang left with a swarm of Black Beetles that the people in the dorm room breathed a sigh of relief.

“Those ‘roaches’ finally left!”

The visible lightness on everyone’s face spoke volumes about the intense pressure they felt while the ‘roaches’ were present.

“How, do you guys say, did Du Gang pull it off?”

Previously, because the ‘roaches’ were continually banging on the door from below, no one dared to ask. Now that Du Gang had left, someone finally spoke out.

“Yeah, he just grew bigger all of a sudden, and he also seems really powerful…”

“He jumped straight down from the sixth floor and nothing happened to him!”contemporary romance

For a moment, the whole dorm room came alive with chatter. Everyone seemed to be venting their previous fears by engaging in conversation.

“Do you think, could this have something to do with the apocalypse?”

Among those present were regular readers who suspected that Du Gang had maybe obtained some kind of superpower.

This remark stirred up a wave of excitement.

If that were true, then they too might have a chance to gain superpowers.

“It’s very likely. Before this, none of us had ever seen Du Gang grow bigger. We only saw it for the first time just now. Maybe he was just awakened to it!”

“Yeah, when Du Gang comes back, we have to ask him about his superpower.”

Some people had been wanting to ask Du Gang about his superpower for a while but didn’t dare to. Now, this question had suddenly become something everyone wanted to know.

An Ya frowned and said, “Enough. The ‘roaches’ are gone, you guys can leave now. There are too many people here, it’s suffocating!”

Upon hearing this, everyone also realized how hot and stuffy the air was, it even smelled of sour foot odor.

“It is indeed too hot, I’m heading back first, goodbye Teacher An!”

“I’m also leaving, goodbye Teacher An!”

Although An Ya was only responsible for two classes, almost all the students here knew her, so they all greeted her before leaving.

Only when all the students had left did An Ya curiously looked at Ma Li.

“Teacher, I live here too, Du Gang and I share a dorm room!”

“Oh, it’s nothing, I was just noticing that you look red. Are you okay?”

Upon hearing this, Ma Li stuttered: “No…no problem, teacher, I’m just a bit hot!”

“As long as you’re okay!”

An Ya casually replied, her mind wasn’t really on the conversation. Compared to these students wanting to know where Du Gang’s superpower came from, she was more concerned about his safe return.

…

The Anzhong Military District.

Being the largest military district in Hua Nation, it was able to get control over the surrounding spatial channels within half an hour of their appearance.

Artillery and laser devices were deployed around the thirteen spatial channels here, enough to ensure that any insect coming out met an instant death.

“Report, researchers have found a crystal inside the Black Beetles which contains a very special energy!”

Yang Xiaotian took a look at the photo. It was a spherical crystal, the size of a fingernail, transparent and glittering. Inside it, there was a red light spot that looked incredibly striking.

“What kind of energy?”

“Based on their preliminary estimates, it might have something to do with dark matter. However, they will need to conduct more tests to know for sure…”

Yang Xiaotian nodded and continued to ask, “Have we established contact with the Arctic Circle yet?”

“Not yet. The equipment is all good, but we just can’t send signals. Experts speculate that this may have to do with dark matter…”

During the day, not all experts left. Many researchers voluntarily stayed at the front line.

…

As Du Gang landed on the rooftop of the Experimental Building, he soon saw the steel pillar that his classmate had mentioned.

It was a steel or iron pillar? 20 centimeters thick and three to four meters long?

He couldn’t tell what it was exactly made of, but the same pillars were used to hold up the reinforced glass roof nearby, so it seemed of reasonable quality.

Without having time to ponder, he bent down, picked it up and exerted a little force.

The pillar didn’t deform!

“Good quality!”

He complimented. Although he hadn’t measured his strength explicitly, based on his previous estimates, it had increased at least seven to eight times.

Once he had the weapon, Du Gang quit his hesitations, leaped down to the ground, met the Black Beetle that was crawling towards him at tremendous speed, held up the pillar and aimed at the fastest-moving beetle, and swung down hard.

“Bang!”

With a loud noise, the Black Beetle was caught off guard. Seven or eight of its thick and spiked legs snapped, and its body was heavily smashed to the ground.

On the back of the beetle, a deep pit appeared eerily, like one left by a meteorite on the ground.

At the same time, a stream of dark green blood splashed out.

“Squeak!”

This Black Beetle began squeaking continuously, as if it were in excruciating pain.

Seeing that his attack had an effect, Du Gang was delighted. He seized the opportunity to continue his attack, wielded his pillar, targeted the beetle’s head, and struck down again.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

This time, not only was there a sound of the pillar hitting the beetle, but also the sound of the pillar hitting the ground.

The head of the Black Beetle was instantly smashed by Du Gang, and there was green blood all over the place.

“I got one!”

At this moment, the other Black Beetles had also reached up to him. They all inclined their bodies, ready to charge at him.

Seeing this, Du Gang stomped the ground, “springing!” back onto the rooftop.

He gazed at the beetles below with fire in his eyes. Although his face was smeared with some green blood, there was an unmistakable excitement.

“Awesome!”

Killing seemed to ignite the violent factors hidden deep in his genes, causing his blood to boil!

After selecting a target, Du Gang shouted “Kill!”, jumped down from the top, hoisted the pillar, and forcefully smashed it towards the head of that Black Beetle.

With the experience of the first time, he directly aimed at the head for the second attack.

After accelerating with gravity, this strike was even more powerful than before.

“Bang!”, the head of this Black Beetle directly turned into green mist, with no chance of survival.

After succeeding again, he did not act recklessly.

With a powerful pop of his legs, he jumped back onto the rooftop.

Although he didn’t have much time left in his transformed state, it was more than enough to kill these few Black Beetles!

In less than three minutes, all eight Black Beetles that chased him had been killed, leaving decapitated bodies scattered all over the ground.

What surprised Du Gang was that these Black Beetles, even if just one was left, still showed no emotion of fear or escape. They maintained an extreme desire for him to the end!
