Chapter 28: Headshot

"Ah!" 

Xu Le sighed, rubbing the golden toad mark in his hand.

Now, he could only place his hopes on Zhang Zhe's combat ability and the few cards in his own hand.

While Zhang Zhe was battling the aberrations, there was clearly a commotion in the classroom behind Xu Le.

"Xu Miaomiao, what are you doing?"

Following a shout, some chaos erupted in the classroom. Zhang Zhe, who was fighting, naturally heard this cry as well.

He looked back and saw that the student named Xu Miaomiao had bitten a male classmate's neck.

Her bite force was tremendous, instantly tearing off a chunk of flesh.

Her limbs twisted and wrapped around this classmate's body at distorted angles that were clearly inhuman.

A normal person's arms cannot bend 360 degrees.

"She's been contaminated, fall back!" 

Zhang Zhe shouted. His distraction left him unable to focus on the aberrations before him. Several zombies immediately rushed forward, leaving wounds on Zhang Zhe's front and back.

The aberrations before him licked the fresh blood on their nails as if savoring some delicacy.

Zhang Zhe knew that if he couldn't hold back the aberrations in front of him, he wouldn't be able to protect everything behind him either.

Left with no choice, he looked towards Xu Le!

"Xu Le, help."

"Can you tell me why you're the only teacher here?"

"I'll tell you when this is over."

Xu Le looked at Zhang Zhe and ultimately nodded, walking towards the classroom.

Although the classroom was extremely dangerous, he had to do this.

If Zhang Zhe couldn't focus on fighting, the front lines would be breached.

Once the front was breached, Xu Le himself would be directly killed by the aberrations, without exception.

So even though Xu Le was very dissatisfied with and didn't agree with Zhang Zhe's approach, he didn't refuse Zhang Zhe's request at this time.

"Alright."

As Xu Le strode towards the classroom, Wang Man hurriedly pulled him back.

"Brother Xu Le, isn't it very dangerous in there?"

Xu Le nodded, patiently explaining:

"If Zhang Zhe dies, we'll all die, so Zhang Zhe can't die."

Wang Man was stunned. How could Teacher Zhang Zhe, who was so powerful, die?

Damn it, Xu Le, can't you explain more clearly?

While Wang Man hesitated, Xu Le had already walked in and fired a shot at the ceiling.

Bang!

12-1.

The gunshot echoed, clearly able to suppress these people's agitated emotions, at least for now.

[Surrounding heart energy is rapidly rising, please be cautious.]

[Fear is the favorite food of all aberrations and will attract them here.]

[Rage is the favorite food of all violent species and will attract them here.]

[Heart energy has reached Level 1 alert.]

Various prompts appeared one after another. When large numbers of humans experience fear, the crowd itself becomes a danger.

Rage attracts the violent species.

And fear attracts all aberrations.

There were several hundred students present now, and faced with the emerging situations, their fear and other emotions had long since approached the heart energy limit.

In other words, this classroom was now like hundreds of blazing torches to the aberrations.

Like beacons in the night, attracting wandering aberrations to come.

If this couldn't be dealt with quickly, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for their classroom.

And it would be a disaster that couldn't be saved.

Could he turn the tide?

Xu Le felt it would be difficult, but he had to do something.

He quickly walked up to the mutated female student named Xu Miaomiao and raised his gun to fire.

Bang!

Xu Miaomiao's head instantly exploded.

The bitten male student beside her was finally saved. He looked at Xu Le gratefully and said weakly:

"Thank you, thank you! I'm so grate-"

Bang!

Then this male student's head also exploded.

12-3.

The other students stared dumbfounded at all this.

Hadn't Xu Le come to save people?

"What... what are you doing?" someone hesitantly asked.

"I'm saving people. To be precise, I'm saving you idiots," Xu Le said fiercely. He changed from his previously calm and indifferent demeanor, his expression becoming fierce and vicious, with quite a ruthless air.

At this time, if he wasn't harsh, he simply couldn't intimidate this group of people.

He couldn't meekly tell everyone that this person would mutate into a Level 1 aberration in 8 minutes and 56 seconds, right?

After killing two people in succession, the surrounding classmates' gazes towards Xu Le became much more fearful.

Although his physique was thin, he had a gun in his hand, plus the boost from killing and the Veteran's Soul.

He gave off somewhat of a ruthless character vibe.

And after killing two people in succession, Xu Le himself once again felt that sense of fulfillment.

"The second correct prediction?"

After experiencing this twice, Xu Le had a general understanding of so-called correct predictions.

A correct prediction wasn't a judgment of right or wrong about something.

Rather, it was a judgment that influenced the direction of an event. The first time was like this, and the second time was the same.

If Xu Le hadn't decisively killed people just now, the entire classroom situation would have descended into chaos.

Once chaos erupted, it wouldn't be something his individual abilities could control.

So decisively shooting and killing people was a correct prediction for the safe direction of the situation.

Xu Le stood holding his gun, turned his head to look at the crowd, and finally spoke:

"Are there any classmates with decent abilities and brains who can come help?

If your brains are working, you should be able to understand why I did this.

And you should also understand the current situation in the classroom.

I can't handle it alone. If you want to live, come help me."

Xu Le's words were somewhat blunt, but also a bit obscure in content.

As he said, those who understood would understand.

For those who didn't understand, it was too troublesome to explain, and even if you explained, they might not necessarily get it.

After Xu Le finished speaking, there would naturally be people who were dissatisfied.

However, Xu Le's response was also direct - wherever there were signs of resistance, he would point his gun there.

Soon, these people quieted down.

"I understand what you mean. I can come help," someone finally said.

Looking at this person, Xu Le's first reaction was: so tall, so muscular.

"What a hunk!"

The person before him was probably over 1.9 meters tall, broad-shouldered and stout, but his face looked a bit simple.

Xu Le understood the principle of not judging a book by its cover, but his gaze still carried some doubt.

Until this muscular man walked up to him and said softly:

"My name is Li Wei. You need someone to help deal with those contaminated people who come back, right?"

Xu Le's eyes brightened slightly. Indeed, you can't judge a book by its cover!

This muscular brother actually understood the situation very clearly!

"Are there any others?" Xu Le asked again.

After the first person stepped forward, such an invitation became much easier.

Some people who could see the situation clearly gradually stood up.

Xu Le would exchange a few words with each person to confirm whether these people's minds were okay.

The mutation time was only 10 minutes, so doing this was a big waste of time.

But Xu Le had to do it. He didn't have the ability to brainwash people in a short time, so making sure these people were usable and wouldn't cause problems became very important.

Before long, over a dozen people had gathered around Xu Le.

These people, if not convinced by Xu Le, at least acknowledged him and knew that the situation in the classroom was already very unfavorable.

To save themselves, they had to do something.

Xu Le looked at the last person.

"What's your name?"

"I'm Zhang Qiang. I want to help," said a slightly chubby female student.

"Alright, Zhang Qiang, come over here," Xu Le waved to her.

Zhang Qiang was a bit surprised:

"Don't you need to ask anything else?"

"No need. I'm very good at judging people. I can tell at a glance that you're extraordinary."

Xu Le smiled and welcomed her, once again making an inviting gesture to Zhang Qiang.

The expressions of the others were a bit strange. What did this mean? Did girls get preferential treatment? This woman wasn't even pretty, at least not compared to Wang Man who was sticking close to Xu Le.

Was Xu Le's taste really so unique?

Just as Zhang Qiang walked close enough, Xu Le suddenly moved.

He kicked Zhang Qiang's knee, yanked her arm, and without regard for Zhang Qiang's screams, directly broke her arm and pinned her down.

"What are you all looking at? Help!"

With Xu Le's shout, the people around him belatedly took action.

Some still hesitated, but two or three bolder ones joined in pinning Zhang Qiang down.

Zhang Qiang struggled continuously under the restraint of four people.

That's right, the current situation was that four grown men, including some muscular ones, couldn't subdue an ordinary girl.

Even if they were slow, they now understood that something was wrong.

"It's the self-defense reaction of a contaminated person!" someone said.

"Who has a weapon? Finish her off."

Xu Le spoke again. He could indeed just shoot her in the head, but he preferred the others to take action.

First, he wanted to save some bullets.

Second, he hoped these people would submit their own letters of allegiance.

His actions had many aspects that couldn't be clearly explained. How could he judge who was contaminated?

Were there any mistakes among the people he killed?

These questions would likely be scrutinized after the Red Moon Calamity ended.

He had to consider his future.

So getting people involved was something he had to do.

The law doesn't punish the masses - this was a principle that wasn't really a principle.

Although he hadn't broken the law.

After Xu Le asked, the few people pinning down the girl all remained silent, seemingly wanting others to take action.

But this wasn't the situation Xu Le wanted to see.

If these people didn't act, then his subsequent response plan couldn't proceed safely.

So Xu Le loosened his grip a bit.

"I can't hold her down!"

"Don't you have a gun?"

"You think bullets are unlimited?"

When Xu Le said this, the others were stunned. Some didn't understand.

Hadn't he just exposed that he didn't have many bullets? What was Xu Le thinking?

Indeed, after hearing Xu Le say he didn't have many bullets, a skinny student standing to the side suddenly rushed forward.

He pulled out a dagger from his pocket.

And stabbed it directly into Zhang Qiang's back.

One stab, two stabs, three stabs.

I've had a cold and fever for the past 6 days, it's been quite rough
