Nanyuan Experintal Middle School is a relatively good school, and the teachers’ salaries are not low. Most of the teachers own hos 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 rely 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 ti was only two minutes left, and at the spatial channels outside, black beetles had started to erge 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.

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 beca even quieter.

…

One o’clock in the morning.

Ti had passed for more than four hours. Just before twelve o’clock, Du Gang had counted thirty-eight beetles erging 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 sll 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 so 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.

Luckily, the dormitory door was not wide enough, and it could only withstand the impact of one beetle at a ti. Otherwise, it would have been knocked down a long ti ago.

But the repeated intense slamming against the door was like a huge stone weighing on everyone’s hearts, making it impossible for them to let go.

The boys who had initially retreated to their respective dorms once again gathered near Room 601.

Only here, only the mighty Du Gang could give them a sense of security!

Looking at the hopeful eyes of the crowd, Du Gang furrowed his brows.

His transformation ti had been restored, but there was no ti accumulation as he had imagined. It was still just ten minutes.

There were more than a dozen beetles below, and if he conserved his ti a bit, it would be just enough to hunt them down.

However, it was now just one o’clock in the morning. There were still twenty-three hours to go before he could transform again tomorrow.

The spatial channel didn’t produce many beetles each ti, but almost fifty beetles erged in three hours.

No one knew how long this channel would exist and whether it would remain open forever.

If it was just him, he was confident he could survive. But now, there were more than twenty people in the boys’ dormitory alone, all looking at him as if he were their savior. He couldn’t bear to leave them behind.

He would have to take it one step at a ti!

Du Gang said to himself in his heart, he didn’t know if he could keep from abandoning this group of people when real danger fell. But for now, it hadn’t reached that stage.

With that in mind, he slowly said, “Everyone, co downstairs with !”

“Downstairs?”

All the students were panicked; they looked at Du Gang in terror, not understanding what he ant.

One of the boys restlessly said, “I don’t have your transformation ability; I’m not going down. Those beetles are too terrifying…”

Others imdiately echoed, “Yeah, you can transform, we can’t…”

They all thought Du Gang wanted them to fight alongside him.

Hearing this, Du Gang felt a chill in his heart and a bit of dislike. However, seeing Ma Li and An Ya, even though they were also terrified, firmly staring at him, he suddenly felt a bit comforted. He bluntly said, “I’m not asking you to fight the beetles. You all co down with , and we move so stuff to block the door!”

Having said that, he led the way downstairs, and the others naturally made way for him. But no one made a move.

When he got to the stairwell, Du Gang could tell by the lack of any sound that no one was moving. So he turned back to look at them and said coldly, “Do you all just want to sit there and wait for

to do everything? Not lifting a finger? I’m telling you, saving you is

being sentintal, it’s my kindness. If I don’t save you, I can escape by jumping out a window right now. What can you do… I suggest you all think it through!”

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 sowhat worried, so he prompted, “Unless, we can all transform, all beco giants…”

Seeing so changes in the expressions of the others, he continued, “If we all beco 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 beco 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 nas of those who ca down with !”

At this mont, power ant 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 nas 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 co downstairs.

So even started to suspect that Du Gang might abandon the people upstairs.
