Chapter 6: A Small Group of Thirty One People
Killing monsters and obtaining the strange energy, at this moment everyone already understood this fact. Besides the thirteen of them, another ten odd people who did not have the strange energy were gathered, they were all people with superior physiques, like the sports teacher, school guard, members of the school team as well as people who were brave and volunteered themselves. In total, there were thirty one people.
As for females, there were only Ning Yan as well as the female from the department of foreign languages who had killed two green monsters.
Su Yu discreetly questioned Qin Jia Gui, this fellow knew a little about the other party. The female was called Ma Zi Ye and had made quite a name for herself in the department of foreign languages because her family had opened a martial arts dojo. Thinking of the influence of her family, it was likely that she had some basics for martial arts.
Chairman Zheng was done talking and the workers of the food hall came and gave the group a bountiful amount food.
As the saying goes ‘The emperor did not have hungry troops*’, they were going deep into the forest to explore and find food and life. It could be said that they were going to gamble their lives. Before leaving, the school had thus prepared for them a bountiful breakfast.
[Phrase: When you ask someone to complete something, you should fulfill some of their most basic needs]
Meng Bo walked beside Su Yu and softly said: “How are your injuries? Initially I informed the chairman that you were heavily injured and did not include you in the group. However, when I saw that you could get out of bed, I asked you to tag along. How are you feeling right now?”
Although the magnificent feat that Su Yu had achieved of killing four green monsters in a row made the school in awe of him, he was heavily injured and was originally excluded from the group. Right now, they had great expectations for him.
Su Yu gently shook his body, although his right hand was still immobile, the other areas were alright as he nodded: “I should be okay. The injuries yesterday weren’t light but I’m already much better today. It seems….. killing those monsters doesn’t only cause our strength to increase, even our regenerative abilities also become frightening. Based on my current rate of regeneration, in another day my injuries would have mostly healed.”
Meng Bo let out a sigh of relief as a smile floated on her face as she acknowledged.
With such an ‘expert’ like Su Yu who had killed four green monsters in the group, Meng Bo’s confidence was greatly boosted.
Before moving out, everyone was given a backpack that contained two to three days worth of food and water, some simple gauze, cotton swabs, blood clotting agents as well as some other medical supplies. There was also torchlight, lighters, small knives and other essentials. With a two-day time limit, the school’s request was that they do their best to find help or food within the two days and if they failed to obtain anything, they would be required to return.
In reality, the food that the school had in storage was only barely enough for two days. If Su Yu and the group did not find any rescue team or food within the two days, the school would have to evacuate the premises and face the danger outside rather than wait for death.
Everything hung on these two days and the results of Su Yu and the group’s exploration.
These were the only plans that the school had at the moment, if they were to give up the safety of the school right from the start and enter the forest, it could only be imagined how many lives would be lost.
“I hope that we can find the rescue parties within two days, if we can leave the forest that would be even better.” Zhang Zhong Mou touched his bandaged face as he spoke.
It was only recently that Su Yu found out, Zhang Zhong Mou had also killed a green monster and was one of the thirteen who had the strange energy within them.
Seventeen green monsters had died and left behind seventeen wooden clubs. These clubs were extremely sturdy and they were harder than metal clubs, about a metre long and when wielded, its might was terrifying and normal boulders would be easily smashed apart.
Su Yu was allocated one such wooden club as a weapon, there were also a few electric batons and other weapons that the guards used which were divided among the group. Finally, the remainder received baseball bats, metal pipes, choppers and other assorted weapons so that each of the thirty odd people at least had something to fend for themselves.
When comparing the weapons, the wooden clubs of the green monsters stood out as the most fearsome. With such limited time, the school had not managed to find many good items for killing and although the chopper was sharp, it was too short and if they met the green monsters that wielded wooden clubs, its use would be limited.
Everything was prepared and the group of thirty odd people walked towards the school gate as the remaining students of the university looked at them with reverence and fear within their eyes.
The metal gate of the school was currently firmly shut as the group of people wielded different weapons and grimly looked on at the gate.
Outside the metal gate, there were a few green monsters moving about as they continually shrieked at the people within. It was only that the metal gate was simply too tall and although they tried multiple times to scale it, they could not do so and the metal gate was too tough for them to break through. Only then did they finally give up and began patrolling outside the gate, giving one a feeling of despair and fear.
Chairman Zheng as well as the authorities of the school together with the teachers and students of the university gathered before the metal gate to send the party off. The few green monsters that were patrolling outside seemed to sense something as they let out shrill shrieks and wielded their wooden clubs as they began to smash the metal gate.
“Boom! Boom!”
Sounds of the metal gate being hammered could be heard and everyone had expressions of hatred and fear.
Class monitor Lei Rui and Jade were also part of the group that was sending them off, Su Yu saw Jade looking at him as though she had something to say but was hesitant and he could not help but laugh: “Jade, I think you’re quite concerned about me. If you have anything to say you’d better grab the chance to say it.”
