Chapter 154 Prioritizing the Overall Situation

The call ended.

Then the entire audience was stunned.

Dr. Cui stared in disbelief at the spectacle. After a moment, his lips trembled. "You...you guys...is this how you usually treat the principal?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

The students in Building 5 had various expressions.

Qi Ya didn't know how to describe the current situation. Well, he had never seen anyone treat the principal like a Japanese soldier.

Well, how should I put it?

Who exactly made this suggestion?

That's really annoying.

Just when the principal was about to acknowledge your identities, you pulled this stunt and made a sarcastic remark.

Good grief, the students of Ningda University who could have trusted you before, after hearing this sarcastic remark, who would dare to believe that you are really from Ningda University?

What's even more absurd is that these people weren't lying.

They really are from Ningda, but they are also from Ningmeng.

Qi Ya could imagine the brainstorming session those people were having outside.

In short, I was impersonating my own double and then trying to mislead others into believing that the double wasn't me.

Even palace dramas aren't this mind-bending.

Qi Ya shook his head, thinking of the bewildered looks on the faces of the people outside. "What a mess..."

Ji Zai's expression was very serious. "What kind of trouble are we causing? That guy surnamed Su has been stirring up trouble all along. What's wrong with us causing him some trouble? We can also help the principal while we're at it. Why not?"

The others nodded solemnly upon hearing this, "That's right."

Nan Yao tossed the phone to Dr. Cui, rolling her eyes. "You guys are so good at pretending! You almost gave yourselves away. We can be students of Ning University, but we absolutely cannot admit to being students of Ning University, otherwise our sect's legacy will be ruined."

Ji Zai nodded solemnly.

Looking at the excited students below the stage, she said in a serious tone, "Yes, students, we must not forget our original aspirations. We absolutely cannot let the principal catch us, otherwise, we can forget about being able to relax in the future."

"That invincible headmaster will definitely train us into top-notch oxen and horses. Countless predecessors have already suffered from the headmaster's exploitation. They have told us with bloody facts that we absolutely cannot get caught."

"Do you remember that senior who tied ropes to the lotus pond? He was caught by the principal because he published a paper that caused quite a stir. After graduation, he successfully got a good job, but then he had to get up at eight o'clock every morning and go to bed at two o'clock in the morning, becoming a miserable beast of burden."

"Because of the nature of his work, he couldn't even resign, it was absolutely tragic."

"Such a tragedy must never happen to us. Money is important, and so is the future, but a good life is even more important!"

Ji Zai's voice was filled with sorrow as he recalled that senior.

That senior can be said to be the most tragic genius.

I'm busy day after day, spinning like a top, and I'm constantly being called up to work overtime.

He doesn't earn much, is still single, and I heard he's even gone bald.

This is the consequence of being caught by the principal.

Thinking of this, Ji Zai said in horror, "It's terrifying."

Everyone got goosebumps. "That's terrifying."

Speaking of this, Yueyang shrugged. "Don't worry, we know what we're doing. First, we give the principal a little bit of hope, and then we pour cold water on him so that he completely believes that Ning University students are hopeless. We're very familiar with this trick."

"Look, because of the skillful operation of the senior students in front, a deep seed has been planted in the principal's mind. He would rather spend money to poach talent from outside than believe that there is still hope for our Ningda, so that we can continue to be lazy and complacent."

"This is our great victory."

"This is what we deserve!"

Yueyang was very excited about this, "Let's applaud for once again tricking the principal!"

Then, witnessed by Dr. Cui, thunderous applause erupted in the room.

It lingered for a long time.

It's obvious.

Everyone was very excited about successfully messing with the principal.

"Ah, I've finally gotten my revenge for the water bill increase. My wallet, you can rest in peace now."

Very well, now Dr. Cui finally understands why they are so keen on messing with the principal.

Because the principal raised the school's water fees.

Their wallets were stabbed.

Dr. Cui is now trembling with fear among a group of people.

How could he possibly remember that it was his suggestion to train talented people like cattle and horses?

After all, we need to push our limits.

But would Dr. Cui dare to say that?

He dared not.

Because he was afraid of becoming the next principal.

After sighing, Ji Zai stretched and said, "Get ready to board the plane, I'm going to rob someone."

"We'll leave tomorrow morning."

I'm not joking anymore.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Leader, how do you know the whereabouts of the principal's daughter?"

"Because we have an undercover agent among us."

After saying this, Ji Zai didn't say much more. She narrowed her eyes and said, "I've always found it strange that the shelter, which is officially run, has such a small number of staff."

"Researchers couldn't even detect the virus in the rain."

"It wasn't until the clues connected that I realized it wasn't that the shelter lacked talent, but that someone wanted them to die."

The air fell silent for a moment.

Qi Ya subconsciously recalled the classmates who had been abducted from the laboratory building. "You mean, someone is deliberately taking people away to do experiments?"

“Yes.” Ji Zai nodded. “The culprits were clearly also stunned by this sudden apocalypse. They fled in panic. Even they couldn’t control the apocalypse, let alone others.”

"When they came to their senses, they were surprised to find that Ning City's power had already taken shape."

"Now people don't dare to run around outside alone easily, and they don't dare to go out easily either."

"However, virus experiments require a large number of test subjects."

"Therefore, they will definitely choose a suitable force to be used as a test subject."

Ji Zai chuckled as he said this, "The Golden Nest and the Laboratory are definitely not in cahoots. Next, it's Ningmeng and the Shelter."

"Ningmeng and his group couldn't see through these two forces, so the first one was conducted in the sanctuary."

"After the shelter was destroyed, they wanted to find out more about the Ning Alliance, which led to that great battle. In the end, they concluded that the Ning Alliance was the strongest in terms of combat power, and they dared not provoke them."

"Well, there's no other way; in the end, we still have to go to a shelter."

"If the head of the shelter can reach an agreement with the laboratory at this time, then the problem of the test subjects will be solved, and the experiment can continue."

As Ji Zai finished speaking, only a deep chill remained in his eyes.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

They knew there was danger outside, but they didn't know that the forces outside were equally dangerous.

They actually used people as victims.

That's terrifying.

I was already afraid of the end of the world, but after hearing Ji Zai say this, I felt even more terrified.

Zhao Chenchen didn't understand, "But...don't the people outside also want to end the apocalypse? Why would they collude with the lab?"

Ji Zai looked over and said, "They want to end the apocalypse, but what kind of apocalypse are we in? Zombie apocalypse, virus apocalypse, biohazard crisis—these are all the apocalypses we are currently in."

She said coldly, "And to end this apocalypse, the virus must be completely eradicated. And how to eradicate the virus? Through experiments."

"So the lab wants to end the apocalypse."

"The shelter also wants to end the apocalypse."

"But the way to end the apocalypse is cruel; someone has to die."

"This is a fact that cannot be beautified in any way. We need people as test subjects so that we can develop an antidote."

Ji Zai chuckled, looked at them, and said, "This is what they mean by prioritizing the overall situation."
