Nanyuan Experimental Middle School is a relatively good school, and the teachers’ salaries are not low. Most of the teachers own homes locally.
Aside from An Ya, the person who is proudly called the “heartthrob of Nanyuan” is the only one who actually lives in the dormitory. The other teachers merely occupy the dorms, using them as a place to rest at noon or give students extra classes after school.
After confirming that there was no one left in the teachers’ dormitory, Du Gang decided not to go out.
His transformation time was only two minutes left, and at the spatial channels outside, black beetles had started to emerge once again.
With more than three hours until he could transform again, he couldn’t afford to take any more risks.
Thus, after quietly informing everyone, the entire dormitory building fell silent. Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com
The girls’ dormitory was always quiet. Although they had witnessed Du Gang’s bravery and strength, he was not with them, so nobody dared to speak up in the absence of any sense of security.
Especially when the beetles crawled out from the spatial channels again, the girls’ dormitory became even quieter.
...
One o’clock in the morning.
Time had passed for more than four hours. Just before twelve o’clock, Du Gang had counted thirty-eight beetles emerging from the spatial channels. By now, the number of beetles crawling out had increased to fifty or sixty.
The good news was that the beetles’ sense of smell was not as strong as imagined, and they didn’t sniff out the “food” in the dormitory from the playground directly.
Moreover, the beetles were attracted by the screams, car crashes, explosions, and gunshots from all over the city and had scattered.
Bad news, though, was that some beetles, while passing by the dormitory building, sniffed out the “food” upstairs and stopped.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The incessant sound of the beetles crashing downstairs could be heard. Attracted by this noise, a dozen more beetles that hadn’t wandered away had returned. They too discovered the “food” upstairs and remained there.
Having said that, he didn’t wait to see if anyone would follow him and went straight downstairs.
Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, An Ya and Ma Li were the first to move and quickly followed him down.
The others were looking at each other, and a few slowly followed him downstairs.
However, there were still six students who remained unmoved, standing quietly in place.
“Already a dozen or so people have gone down, the door is only so big, it should be enough!”
“Yeah, if we go down, we might just get in the way of them moving things!”
The six students were comforting each other, finding many excuses to convince themselves not to go down.
Among these six students, three were Du Gang’s classmates from before.
Even as the other people reached the second and third floors, Ma Haibin, the hygiene commissioner who used to have a good relationship with Du Gang, murmured, “Who knows if those beetles were brought by Du Gang? We are all ordinary people, yet he can transform. Don’t you think it’s suspicious...”
Everyone else was a bit terrified and didn’t dare to pick up his words, all falling silent.
Seeing that no one echoed him, Ma Haibin felt somewhat worried, so he prompted, “Unless, we can all transform, all become giants...”
Seeing some changes in the expressions of the others, he continued, “If we all become giants, we wouldn’t just be blocking the door, we would even fight those beetles. I’d be willing to do it. What about you?!!”
His words successfully aroused everyone’s desire for power, and they finally echoed him.
“If I could become a giant, I’d dare fight those beetles!”
“Right, if I were a giant, I’d be braver than you...”
...
Upon reaching the first floor, Du Gang didn’t rush to act; instead, he turned around, and once everyone had arrived, he said, “Count how many people we have. Ma Li, take out your phone and note the names of those who came down with me!”
At this moment, power meant the right to speak, and no one dared to question what Du Gang said, nor did anyone dare to ask more questions.
They reported their names to Ma Li in a flurry, feeling a little joy at the bottom of their hearts, one step ahead of those who stayed upstairs.
Although they weren’t sure what Du Gang was planning, they were positive they were in a better situation than the students who hadn’t come downstairs.
Some even started to suspect that Du Gang might abandon the people upstairs.
