Chapter 373: Chapter 294: Infiltrating the School (First Update)

"Move." With a low utterance from Su Yu, he began to sprint ahead, with the mood of the others becoming unavoidably somber. Only Ruan Minghong and Murong Dingyuan, who were not originally from the school, did not feel any strong emotions.

Running quickly, they soon spotted a familiar hillside. It was this exact location where they had encountered the One-eyed Corpse King, nearly leading to their annihilation. Also, right here, Su Yu had evolved into the Black Iron Warrior of the Third Level, managing to kill the Corpse King. Meanwhile, Ding Shan was killed here by the Corpse King.

On this same hillside, they had also run into that York couple. So, it was safe to say that everyone was quite familiar with this hillside.

Seeing the hillside signified they were extremely near to the school, and soon they would return to it. Subconsciously, they all slowed their pace. Just then, Su Yu gestured for them to hide. Not long after, several people dressed in half-black and half-white clothing swiftly passed by.

From a quick glance, Su Yu noticed that these people were all Fourth-Order Black Iron Warriors, and it seemed that this vast forest was filled with countless warriors of this rank. Now, Qin Jiagui and the rest were filled with an icy chill. The Newbie Forest, which they previously thought held no secrets or threats, had suddenly become terrifying and dangerous due to these mysterious people dressed in half-black and half-white clothes.

"Everyone, be careful..." Leading the group, Su Yu also slowed down. They were only half a day’s journey from the school, and with their pace, they would not need more than an hour to reach.

Su Yu, Ada, and everyone else heightened their vigilance, slowed their pace, and skillfully evaded two more squads of Fourth Order Warriors dressed in half black and half white. Finally, Su Yu and the eleven individuals quietly sneaked up to the school which they had once lived in, and that had brought them into this world.

Looking again at "AJ City Vocational Technical College," besides Ruan Minghong and Murong Dingyuan, a complex feeling overflowed within the hearts of the other nine individuals.

Being selfish for food, they had abandoned the other teachers and students and escaped. The event haunted everyone like a nightmare. That’s why on their decision to return, all nine came back. They wanted to make up for their past mistakes, and they did not want this event to torture them for their entire life, leading to a lifetime of regrets.

Now they had returned and had hidden among the thick undergrowth. Looking through the dense forest at the familiar school buildings, covered in lush green intertwined vines and vegetation, they fell silent. As they looked at the disrepair of some of the walls, the school that was once familiar to them was now filled with a desolate aura, like an abandoned ancient city. Even in the darkness, there was an indescribable chill and terror, as if a monstrous beast was lying in wait for those who dared to enter.

Su Yu and the rest did not immediately rush into the school, they did not shout out loud either. Their experiences and the tribulations they had faced during these days had matured them. They had learned to observe and judge the situation first.

In a short while, they noticed four men dressed in half-black and half-white clothes emerging from a distant forest. Two of them were even carrying someone on their backs. Judging from their immobility, those being carried were likely deceased.

The four men in black and white, carrying two corpses, quickly entered the school compound and then vanished from sight.

Staring from a distance, Su Yu and the rest looked at the men in confusion as they questioned who these men in black and white were and what they wanted to do with the corpses.

While they were puzzled, a sense of heaviness rose from the depths of their hearts. It seemed that these men in black and white had taken over their school as if they were setting up base there. Then... what about the teachers and students? What happened to them?

"I’ll go in and have a look, you guys stay here."

After observing for a while, Su Yu turned around and spoke quietly.

"No! You can’t use your powers here, so it’s not appropriate for you to go." Ma Ziye quickly answered. Su Yu had used his powers in the River of Oblivion before, and the outcome was terrifying. Ma Ziye did not want Su Yu to take any more risks.

"What if we all go together?" Qin Jiagui suggested.

Su Yu shook his head, "I just want to go in and check the situation. The chances of me being discovered are the smallest. We don’t know what the situation inside is. For now, don’t provoke the others. Let’s talk about everything after I’m clear about the situation."

The others thought Su Yu’s words made sense. If the goal was merely to sneak in and investigate, indeed Su Yu was the most suitable. After all, he was a Sixth-Order Powerhouse, hence among all of them, no one was more suitable than Su Yu to bypass the Fourth Order Black Iron Warriors and sneak in to investigate.

"That’s settled then. You guys stay here and be cautious. If something happens inside, I’ll use a whistle as a signal, and you guys rush in upon hearing this. If there is no whistle, you guys will stay here for now."

After Su Yu and the others made their plans, he quietly slipped out with Ada, crouching low.

He then whispered a few words to Ada on his shoulder, seeming to discuss something with her. Ada nodded, apparently agreeing with Su Yu’s suggestion.

Under the shadowy sky which made it easier for Su Yu to sneak in, he increased his pace to the extreme along the dense forest. Ada, with her nose twitching constantly, was capturing the surroundings. Qin Jiagui and others hidden in the nearby bushes could only see Su Yu’s figure as a black line quickly flashing twice before reaching the school’s perimeter wall. With a leap, Su Yu helpfully used his arm to vault over the wall, bypassing it in a swift and graceful manner.

Having entered the wall, Su Yu crouched down again and looked around, not a soul in sight. The ground inside the school was also covered with vegetation. Familiar with the area, Su Yu hesitated briefly before running along the wall to the left.

He quickly reached the foot of a tall building, but couldn’t hear any human voices.

Could it be that after they left the school, the other students also left in search of a way out in the forest? Leaving the school as an empty city? And later, these men in black and white took it as their base, preparing to accomplish something?

Su Yu pondered as he quietly bypassed the teaching building. Ada on his shoulder suddenly stretched out her small paw and pointed ahead, "Go there."

Ada whispered, her voice filled with a tinge of confusion and strangeness, as if she sensed something peculiar.

Following Ada’s directions, Su Yu stealthily advanced. After passing two buildings, a huge playground appeared before him, causing him to gasp in surprise and feel a chill run down his spine as he stood in the shadow of the building.

While Su Yu snuck into the school, Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, Zhang Zhongmou, and Ruan Minghong, among others, hid in the bushes and dense forest, waiting for Su Yu to send them a message. According to their agreement, if they heard Su Yu’s long howl, they would immediately rush into the school to aid Su Yu. Otherwise, they had to stay hidden and observe the situation.

While they were waiting, Murong Dingyuan suddenly felt something and looked back, only to see a fleeting figure in the darkness. Everyone woke up at the sound of rustling, and looking around, they saw the area surrounded by people in half black and half white clothes. Their eyes glowed like cold lightning or bloodthirsty beasts, staring at them.

"You..." Qin Jiagui couldn’t help but rise to his feet, wanting to question, but these people had already silently pounced on them. They had no intention of talking and once they started, it was with lethal attacks. These men in black and white appeared to be all fourth-order Black Iron Warriors.

"Attack—" Qin Jiagui quickly waved his arms, instantly turning the upper half of his body into metal. Meanwhile, a muted groan from Li Dong signaled he had already been hit by a man with a giant iron hammer.

Li Dong’s mutation power is a summoning ability, initially he could only summon hundreds of poisonous bees. But after ascending to the fourth order, the bees morphed to the size of footballs, becoming considerably terrifying. However, their attacks were too swift for Li Dong to summon his bees and he was assaulted.

Hit by the sacred iron hammer in the attacker’s hand, Li Dong groaned, barely blocked with his left arm, and his arm broke immediately. He spat out blood and was thrown out.

Qin Jiagui jumped to the right, immediately launching "Iron Shoulder Cannon Shell". Ma Ziye stomped her foot, deploying "Heaven and Earth Net", Su Yun drew out her "Black Iron Staff". Zhang Zhongmou, not uttering a word, activated the "Earth Spike Assault" from the "Earth Spike Ring".

"Hissing" sounds echoed, and one of the men in black and white clothes groaned, immediately being pierced by earth spikes that emerged from the ground, with blood seeping out. However, another man waved his hand, and a blue and white bolt of lightning came slashing down, hitting Zhang Zhongmou.

Zhang Zhongmou groaned, his body rocking with the impact. Although the power of this blue and white lightning is far from that of Su Yu’s, it is still not to be overlooked. Zhang Zhongmou was hit and thrown aside, falling heavily on the ground.

Ruan Minghong and Murong Dingyuan also suffered attacks, but they couldn’t fight back. After reluctantly parrying a few strikes, they both ran away, feeling extraordinarily depressed.

With their fifth-order capabilities, killing these fourth-order warriors wouldn’t be difficult. However, the power of the rules in this forest severely restrained them, making them dare not fight back.

While Qin Jiagui and others who were guarding outside were suddenly attacked, Su Yu, who had sneaked into the school, was shocked by what he saw. (To be continued - For more updates please log onto www.qidian.com. More Chapters are available there with full support for the author and legit reading)
