Chapter 6: A Small Group of Thirty One People (2/2)

Jade harrumphed as she seemed to consider not saying anything but could not help it as she said: “You…… you better take care of yourself. Don’t blindly push ahead.”

“I know, just relax. Actually Jade, we’ve already known each other for so long but this is the first time that I realise you seem to care quite a lot about me.”

Jade responded: “I…… that’s not true…… it was your mother that begged me to watch out for you. Otherwise, why would I care whether you lived or died. Anyways, for your mother, you better make it back safely.”

Thereafter she said in an even softer voice: “There are so many other awesome people, you better not act capable and do too much. Actually, you’re already hurt. You shouldn’t even be going out. There are already so many people, if you don’t go no one will complain. How about we speak to teacher Meng and……”

Jade was still speaking but Su Yu had lifted his hand to stop her as his face had an ugly expression and he looked into Jade’s eyes and said: “Actually, I’m more concerned about you. The few of you will be staying here and it may not be entirely safe. Two days…… We only have two days and if we do not find a safe way out or find a rescue team……”

Su Yu stopped talking because the outcome was something that caused their hearts to shiver.

“Let’s not talk about it. You just stay here and wait for a few days, after that I’ll definitely come back here. It’s a deal, understand little girl?” Having said this, Su Yu’s face returned to his indifferent expression.

“Okay, Su Yu you better remember what you said. I won’t allow you to break your promise.” Jade was very serious and seemed as though she spoke through gritted teeth.

Su Yu laughed as he turned, his left hand waving behind his head as he said: “I know, Jade you’re so long-winded. Be careful if no guy wants to marry you.”

Jade was once again red in anger.

“You…… must be careful.” Suddenly, a gentle voice could be heard from the side.

Su Yu’s gaze swept over and saw Qin Jia Gui with a beautiful big eyed girl clasping their hands tightly. The girl’s face had concern written all over it as she softly spoke to Qin Jia Gui.

Su Yu recognised this beautiful big eyed girl, she was Qin Jia Gui’s girlfriend and was the belle of the computer system class one. Su Yu recalled that her name was Yuan Ni Ping.

Outside the large metal gate, there were already six of the green monsters gathered. They continually wielded the wooden clubs in their hands as they pummeled the metal gate causing loud rumbling noises. It was fortunate that the metal pillars which supported the gate were as thick as arms and very hard, making it difficult to break through with brute force.

Seeing the group of humans gathered before the metal gate, the few green monsters began to make shrill cries that seemed filled with excitement.

“Are you guys ready?” A teacher was very nervous as he grabbed the handle of the small door by the side of the gate with one hand while his other held a key to the giant metal lock that was locking the door shut. His hand was currently trembling intensely.

The crowd quietened down as those ten odd people who had the strange energy squeezed forward. Of the ten odd people, one had a crew cut hair and was roughly 1.8 metres tall, although he was of a similar age to Su Yu, he had a stern and calm face that exceeded his years as he said: “Teacher, give me the key.”

The teacher nodded as he handed the key over and backed away.

Once the metal door was opened, those green monsters would rush in. If they failed to kill these green monsters they would simply be unable to leave the place.

This student with a crew cut hair took the keys with his left hand while his right hand held onto the wooden club left by the green monsters. Without any hesitation, he lifted his left hand and with a “Clank” the lock was open.

Behind him were Qin Jia Gui, Zhang Zhong Mou and another student that Su Yu did not recognise. This was followed by Su Yu, Ning Yan, Ma Zi Ye and the others.

The thirteen people that were squeezing in front were all special energy users, following them were teachers, guards and the rest of the students who formed a normal eighteen person group. In total, there were thirty one people and together, they are the small advance party.

Chairman Zheng, the leaders of the school, Meng Bo and other teachers, Jade, Lei Rui and the other students felt that their hands were covered in cold sweat as they watched on.

The first time the green monsters attacked, everyone had frantically run for their lives. At this moment, the group could calm themselves down as they looked at the group of people who were about to engage in a life and death struggle with the monsters. They were experiencing a myriad of emotions ranging from nervousness, fear, excitement and other complicated feelings.

“Rumble! Rumble!”

The green monsters outside continued to pummel the metal gate and the youth with the crew cut hair hurriedly removed the lock as he pushed the door outwards.

“Bang!”

The small door by the side of the large metal gate had opened.
