As Qiao Suinian walked towards him carrying a useless big stick, Liu Luobin felt as if every step the other took was on the beat of his own heartbeat, making him extremely apprehensive.
"Qiao Suinian! I advise you to lay down your weapons and turn back before it's too late. You've already made a huge mistake, don't make it worse!" Liu Luobin exclaimed in alarm.
"Is that so? It's not exactly a mistake. I just wanted Principal Liu and his son to be reunited. Your son must have been waiting for you for a long time." Qiao Suinian continued to approach step by step.
Upon hearing Qiao Suinian mention his son, a hint of resentment flashed in Liu Luobin's eyes again, but he concealed it well.
"Qiao Suinian, almost all the survivors from the school are here. Are you going to kill me, the principal, in front of them?" Liu Luobin shouted angrily.
Li Yulan, who had just spoken out to condemn Qiao Suinian, also stood up at this moment.
"Qiao Suinian! That's enough! Do you still want to kill Principal Liu? You're too bloodthirsty and have already gone astray! Quickly repent and turn back from your misguided path!"
Li Yulan then encouraged the other awakened individuals who had successfully changed jobs and were present on the second floor.
"Dear students, are you really going to just stand by and watch these thugs harm Principal Liu? Don't forget, it was Principal Liu who gathered you all here! He is your savior!"
Upon hearing this, the classmates exchanged glances, then made their own judgment and began to gather around Qiao Suinian, subtly forming a circle around her.
Qiao Suinian frowned, but didn't say anything.
At this moment, Feng Zhizhao and Jiang Ping also rushed up to the second floor and stood beside Qiao Suinian, confronting those people.
“Little Nianzi, you didn’t call me when you got into a fight, that’s not very nice of you! Have you forgotten that barbecue stand from that year, I came in and ate half of it?” Feng Zhizhao waved the fire axe in his hand.
"Of course I remember. There were ten of them. When you arrived, five of you fought me and five of us fought you. That did solve half of the problem," Qiao Suinian said with a smile.
Jiang Ping didn't say much, but crimson flames had already ignited on his body, clearly indicating that he was ready for battle.
The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became tense, as if a fight could break out at any moment.
"Jiang Ping, there's no need to rush into action. Sometimes, solving problems doesn't necessarily require violence." Qiao Suinian raised her hand to stop Jiang Ping.
In his plan, he intended to use Jinghai University as his first base in the post-apocalyptic world.
In his eyes, these awakened individuals were the backbone of the future.
"Classmates, Li Yulan said that Liu Luobin is your savior, but think back, did he really do anything to save you?" Qiao Suinian said calmly.
The group exchanged glances upon hearing this, and then Qiao Suinian continued speaking.
"If I'm not mistaken, besides calling you all over the auditorium through the loudspeaker, he didn't do anything else, right? And in your battle with the alien race, he basically delivered the final blow, didn't I?"
After a moment's thought, Qiao Suinian figured out the whole story.
He, a dual-class user, is only level 2 so far. There is only one explanation for why Liu Luobin's level is higher than his: he has exploited and robbed other people's resources.
"Are you really sure that this person can lead you to survive in this terrible apocalypse?"
Qiao Suinian's words struck them like a heavy blow; this was exactly what they cared about most.
Whether Liu Luobin is a scumbag or a good person is something they don't really care about; all they care about is how to keep living and avoid dying in the mouths of those terrifying monsters.
This is the thing that truly concerns them.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these dozen or so people in front of you are all Awakened Ones. They are just young men in their early twenties. Even though they have power that surpasses that of ordinary people, their mentality has not yet changed.
Therefore, they were completely lost in the face of the apocalypse, which is why Liu Luobin was able to lead them by the nose.
"You say Liu Luobin can't, but do you think you can?" Among the dozen or so people, the leader was a young man with a perm and gold-rimmed square glasses. His name was Tian Junyu.
"I can't guarantee I can, but I can guarantee I'm better than Liu Luobin."
Qiao Suinian smiled slightly, then pointed at Jiang Ping, and then at herself.
"Jiang Ping is a legendary-level professional; I, Qiao Suinian, am also a legendary-level professional. Between me and Liu Luobin, who do you think has a better chance of surviving?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Junyu hesitated for a moment.
Reason told him that Qiao Suinian was right, and that following Qiao Suinian would give him a better chance of survival; but his conscience told him that betraying Liu Luobin in this way was a despicable act.
At this moment, Qiao Suinian delivered the final blow.
"Don't worry, I won't kill Liu Luobin. I just want to help everyone survive better. You all saw it too, it was Liu Luobin who came looking for trouble with me, wasn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Junyu and the others exchanged glances, and the hesitation in their eyes completely disappeared.
They silently walked behind Qiao Suinian, no longer standing on Liu Luobin's side.
"You! How could you do this! You have no conscience, you can't treat me like this!"
Liu Luobin's cloudy old eyes were filled with terror. The thing he feared most had happened, and it came even faster than he had imagined.
It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Having already experienced the joy of being a local tyrant, how could Liu Luobin be willing to be pulled down from this position!
Li Yulan's face flushed red. If Liu Luobin were to be brought down, her good days would be over!
"You bunch of ingrates! Principal Liu has been so good to you! And you betrayed him! Just wait, this Qiao Suinian is so bloodthirsty, you'll all be killed by him!"
Li Yulan started cursing like a shrew, and then a loud slap landed on her face, instantly turning half of Li Yulan's face red and swollen.
"Shut up, stop making noise."
Qiao Suinian's slap seemed to hit Li Yulan's volume button; she trembled and covered her face, not daring to look at Qiao Suinian again.
Liu Luobin was so frightened that his body trembled like a leaf, his pupils constricted, and he threatened in a fierce but cowardly manner.
"Qiao Suinian, I'm warning you, you can't kill me! I've done my part for these survivors at Jinghai University, if not something I did right. If you kill me, they will never let you go!"
"Don't worry, Principal Liu, I already said I won't kill you." Qiao Suinian glanced at him indifferently.
Killing Liu Luobin was too easy for Qiao Suinian.
However, killing Liu Luobin now would only create a rift between Tian Junyu and the others.
If morale is low, the team will be difficult to lead, and Qiao Suinian would certainly not make such a basic mistake.
Conquering cities is inferior to conquering hearts and minds.
