Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Li Hong Wei and a few other students stood beside Zhao Yu, feeling a little uneasy.

He had been motionless since just now.

If it weren’t for the fact that they had noticed Zhao Yu’s arm wound beginning to heal, they would have called out to him earlier.

“I’m fine!”

Zhao Yu came back to his senses, just as his communication with the Super Brain ended.

Li Hong Wei was holding a coin, the one dropped by the third beast.

He handed it to Zhao Yu reluctantly. Though unsure of its purpose, he knew it was a product of the split white energy and would surely be useful later.

“Here, this is for you…”

“Okay!”

Zhao Yu accepted it without hesitation.

Now, he had three coins marked with the word ‘zero’.

Suddenly, Zhao Yu noticed several students huddled over the Ape Claw Beast’s corpse, seemingly searching for something.contemporary romance

“What are they doing?” he asked curiously.

A student, hands covered in blood, looked up sheepishly and said, “Such monsters often have energy crystals inside them. I wanted to check…”

“Found anything?”

“No…”

It was evident that the remaining students envied the white light energy and desired it.

At that moment, a male student suddenly rushed at Wang Zi Jun, grabbing his collar angrily:

“It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t yelled for the monsters to come out, how would we be attacked? How would Xiao Xiao have died?!”

Wang Zi Jun was bewildered, struggling to break free.

“Don’t be ridiculous, I was just joking…”

He hadn’t expected his casual remarks to bring such trouble.

Zhao Yu knew who ‘Xiao Xiao’ was – one of the few girls in the team. He had paid particular attention to her.

Unexpectedly, she had died in the previous fight, and this male student was probably her boyfriend.

Zhao Yu intervened to stop the student from punching Wang Zi Jun, advising, “You should know it’s not his fault. The monsters have killed so many of us, let’s not injured more of us.”

“You’re siding with him too?!” The student glared at Zhao Yu ungratefully.

“If you’re a man, don’t blame others. Failing to protect your girl means you were too weak…”

“If you want to avenge your girlfriend, then fight harder next time and kill all the monsters you encounter!”

These words struck the male student’s heart, his furious gaze suddenly turning evasive.

Indeed, during the fight, he was protected by her when the fear consumed him and he had a chance to save her, but he was too scared.

That fear had cost his girlfriend’s life.

To ease his own conscience, the male student had concocted a baseless excuse to blame Wang Zi Jun for his troubles.

Exposed by Zhao Yu, the student collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face, crying out, “Xiao Xiao, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault…”

Zhao Yu quickly stopped the other students who came up to comfort him, “Let him cry. It’s better to let it all out.”

At that moment, he was not the only one crying. Several other students were also silently shedding tears for their fallen friends.

“Can we go back now? I’m hurt…”

A male student sat on the ground, covering his thigh with his clothes, blood seeping through.

His words immediately resonated with several others.

Li Hong Wei took out his phone, checked the time, and hesitated, “Our mission was set for an hour, but it’s only been twenty minutes. It doesn’t seem right to go back now…”

“ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND! We’ve lost so many people. What’s the point of continuing the mission?”

“Exactly, look at us now, some are dead, many are injured…How are we going to carry them for the mission?”

Several students voiced their dissatisfaction, feeling they had already paid a high price for this mission.

Zhao Yu counted that 15 students had died, 13 were seriously injured and the rest were in minor injury as well.

This was just from four Ape Claw Beasts. If there were more, they might all have perished.

“Don’t be so selfish. Remember, we represent the entire teaching building…”

“But without finding food and water, going back is just waiting to die. We might as well keep moving forward!”

Yet, some envied Zhao Yu and others for obtaining the white energy and wanted to kill a few monsters themselves.

The group was divided: some felt the casualties were too high and they should return, not risking their lives for the mission. They could always send another group.

After all, excluding the girls, there were still over a thousand male students back at the school.

Others argued that returning now would be fruitless, especially with their significant energy expenditure. It was uncertain when they could come back again.

“Brother Wei, what’s this big brother’s name?”

While the other students argued, another enhancer who had obtained the white energy approached.

“He’s Zhao Yu, from our class. And you?”Li Hong Wei’s attitude was fairly good, considering the other was also an enhancer.

“So it’s Brother Yu. I’m Xia Yuan, from Art Class 9..”

“Hello…”

The three, being the strongest at the moment, got acquainted.

The only regret was the death of Zhou Hai Sheng; otherwise, they would have had four top fighters.

“Brother Yu, Brother Wei, what do you think? Should we go back or continue?”

Xia Yuan didn’t rush to express his opinion but first acquired for their suggestion..
