【Damn! It's this thing again.】

"I should have gone somewhere else to play. Why did I end up in this crappy StarCraft?" Xiaomi thought to herself.

Lu Yulan acted swiftly and decisively, killing them all, and even burning them all afterward, just to be sure.

When the captain arrived, all he saw was a pile of ashes. "What happened?"

"I know why the danger level keeps increasing."

The captain's heart sank to the bottom, and he asked lightly, "Why?"

"Because there are insectoid beasts on this planet, and they've already eaten a lot of animals, those students..."

Even if the signal source is not damaged, the person is probably gone. If it is a high-level alien beast, you can hide from it, but insect beasts are just like flies and mosquitoes, impossible to guard against.

The captain gasped, feeling a chill run from his throat straight to his heart.

Who on earth is so ruthless as to sacrifice all the freshmen? And what is their motive?

"I'll take you home first."

"And what about you?"

The captain didn't answer Lu Yulan, but just walked silently ahead. Lu Yulan could roughly guess what he meant.

"There's no need to send me back. I've killed insect beasts before."

As he spoke, he raised the string of beads in his hand, but the weapons they had chosen were now somewhat useless, and they should actually go back and get a new batch of weapons.

"Since we're almost at the students' location, we might as well take a closer look."

The captain had a thousand words in his heart, but he simply nodded emphatically.

Xiaomi, located on Lu Yulan's wrist, suddenly brightened up, knowing she was about to reach the energy needed for the second stage.

Lu Xiaozhu followed behind Lu Yulan without saying a word, but quickly sent a message to her younger brother.

"Help! Help!"

"What the hell is this thing? How come it's indestructible?"

"Or we could just resort to dirty tricks."

Several students were surrounded, somewhat at a loss. Lu Yulan noticed that the school badge was still shining on the blood-covered figures on the outer perimeter.

He couldn't help but turn pale.

[Host, go straight for the heart, quick!]

...

"Thank you, Teacher Lu. Thank you, Captain."

Five or six students huddled together, their faces pale. Most of them were just talkers; when it came to actually killing someone, none of them could bring themselves to do it.

"Come with us."

Where to?

"Return to base; this assessment is cancelled."

Lu Yulan took out many weapons she was holding, as well as those from her spatial storage, and distributed them to the students. When people gather together, they naturally become bigger targets for insect beasts.

They always have to protect themselves.

The group took the weapons from Lu Yulan, looking like baby quails hatching for the first time, completely bewildered.

"Take this. If you encounter danger and cower like the captain, no one will bury you if you die."

"Yes, Teacher Lu."

With students in tow, they couldn't walk very fast. Lu Yulan and the captain were lucky; they didn't encounter any more dangers on their way back. Instead, they rescued several more students, who still knew something about their companions' whereabouts during the assessment.

One of the survivors was Ze Ye's subordinate. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Lu Yulan.

"Teacher Lu, can you find Chu Rui? Our leader and the others have been missing for two days."

Upon hearing this, the others instinctively felt that Zeye and Chu Rui were dead, since the bodies had been burned by Teacher Lu and the captain when they returned.

They may not be good at actual combat, but they're not stupid.

"Don't ask Teacher Nanlu anymore. You are a member of the Zeye family. If you're worried, go find him yourself. Going out now would be courting death."
