Chu Feixiong still wanted to continue pestering him. "We —"
"Enough!"
Principal Sun suddenly shouted. His voice was even louder than Demon Yan's.
His face instantly turned even darker than Demon Yan's, and he looked fierce. There was no longer any hint of harmless kindness left on him.
Chi la chi la, chi la chi la!
His loose camouflage uniform instantly became taut. His chest and armpits were even torn, revealing a sturdy body that shone with a metallic luster.
The old principal, who had one foot in the grave, suddenly transformed. His body became even larger than Chu Feixiong's, and he turned back into the infamous Heavy Cannon of the Red Dragon Army!
"Hiss!"
When Meng Chao and the other students saw that Principal Sun's fists were like two burning cannonballs, they sucked in sharp breaths. 'No wonder this Heavy Cannon doesn't need to bring any extra weapons.'
Those fists were basically morningstars filled with gunpowder. They would die if they grazed them, and they would die if they touched them!
"It's easy to die, but if you don't dig out all your potential and don't have a fighting plan, you'll just die recklessly. This isn't bravery, but another form of cowardice!"
Principal Sun roared. "Dragon City is a lone army in the Other World. Everyone's life doesn't belong to them alone. It belongs to all the citizens, Dragon City, and Earth's civilization. Even if you die, you have to have the right to do so!
"I, Sun Daxing, joined the army when I was seventeen, and I've been a soldier for forty years. I've killed nearly one thousand zombies and more than ten thousand monsters. There are hundreds of scars on my body, and there are even fragments of monster fangs embedded in my spine. I've already given up everything for Dragon City, and that's why I have the right to die.
"Chu Feixiong, how many monsters have you killed? How many scars are on your body? What have you done for the land that keeps you alive? You haven't even grown your fur yet, so what right do you have to die?"
His casual words finally managed to intimidate Chu Feixiong and the other students.
The entrance to the university was silent. They could only hear the roars of monsters and the roars of humans outside.
Chu Feixiong's face turned red. He lowered his head in shame. "Principal Sun, I —"
"That's enough. Everyone, stay here."
Headmaster Sun's voice became gentle again. "Please give us teachers and fathers some confidence. We will defend this city and buy time for you. And your responsibility is to use the time, space, and resources that we have bought to train hard. Surpass us, and then fight for … the right to die."
The students fell into deep thought.
Headmaster Sun waved his hand and led the school leaders and teachers out of the school gate.
"Wait, Principal Sun!" Meng Chao suddenly ran forward.
"Meng Chao?" Principal Sun turned his head around in surprise.
"A few days ago, I was browsing the underground life science forum, and I saw someone bragging in the monster section. He said that they discovered an evolved form called the Demonic Air Ripping Eye. Its tentacles are incredibly tenacious, bouncy, and offensive. They can shoot people from a height of one hundred meters and sweep them up into the air."
"I don't know if it's real or fake, but I'd rather believe it. When you fight against the lecturers, you have to be careful of attacks from above!"
Principal Sun stared at Meng Chao for a long time before he nodded and said, "I'll remember it. Thank you, Meng Chao. Hurry up and go back. Be careful with the other students."
Meng Chao sighed in relief and watched Principal Sun and the lecturers disappear into the depths of the fog and flames.
Suddenly, a message popped up before his eyes.
[Hero Citizen Sun Daxing has listened to your suggestion. His survival rate has increased. Increased contribution points by 199.]
'Hero?'
Meng Chao was shocked. He did not expect that Principal Sun was not an elite citizen, but a higher level hero citizen. It was just a small suggestion, and he gave him 199 contribution points.
Now, he had discovered four different citizen units.
"Normal", "Elite", "Special" and "Hero". Normal,
The others were easy to understand, but what sort of person had the right to be called a hero?
Meng Chao returned to the students with a complicated expression.
When he turned his head around, he did not know whether it was just a figment of his imagination, but he felt that the flames in the direction where Principal Sun and the others had gone was especially fierce, and the explosions were even louder.
But no matter how loud the explosions were, they could not drown out the rumbling of Principal Sun's cannons.
He stared at them in a daze for a long time before he suddenly gritted his teeth and strode forward.
"Meng Chao, where are you going?" Chu Feixiong asked.
"I'm not going to look anymore. What's there to look at? Even if I make my eyes bleed, how many monsters can I kill? We're not Demonic Air Ripping Eyes! " Meng Chao did not even turn his head around. "Principal Sun is right. I'm going to the cultivation room … to fight for the right to die!"
Chu Feixiong was stunned. He turned his head around and cast a glance at their home, which had been ravaged by monsters, and stomped his feet. "Wait for me! Let's go together! Tonight, I'm going to fight three hundred rounds with you! Whoever screams in pain is a coward!"
"We're going too!"
That night, all the third-year examinees from Ninth High School fought madly in the cultivation room.
They treated each other as monsters and ravaged each other repeatedly.
They fought for an entire night outside, and they also fought for an entire night. They were beaten until their faces were swollen and covered in wounds, but no one screamed in pain. Everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.
After an intense night of fighting, the Earthlings finally won and defended their home once more.
When Meng Chao walked out of the cultivation room covered in wounds, he smelled the thick scent of gunpowder, monsters, and human blood. It was so thick that the air seemed to have frozen.
Even the war songs that had been loud for the entire night became solemn.
The results of the battle were great.
The invasion of a large number of monsters meant that a large amount of fat and protein had been replenished. It also meant that all sorts of rare materials and crystals had appeared. It also meant that countless fighters had gone through the trials of blood and fire, which allowed them to grow by leaps and bounds.
Many of the normal people managed to play the strongest melody of their lives during the fierce battles and became superhumans.
Many of the low-grade superhumans also shattered the shackles of their genes at the moment of life and death and reached brand new realms.
But there was still great sadness in and around Dragon City.
This was the most devastating battle that Dragon City had fought in the past ten years.
"Initial calculations show that at least dozens of superhumans, hundreds of Red Dragon Army soldiers, and thousands of citizens died in the monster invasion last night. The monsters also destroyed nearly one hundred buildings, and the direct economic losses reached hundreds of millions of RMB.
"The seventh squad of the Red Dragon Army's Flying Tiger Aerial Assault Brigade was the first to discover the invaders. To fight for precious time, they gathered three armored airships and charged at more than ten Demonic Air Ripping Eyes. In the end … they fought until not a single soldier survived, and all of them died heroically!
"Four-star superhuman Eagle Blade Meng Ao used his own strength to fight against a monster horde formed by hundreds of Wild Wolves to protect the people and evacuate them. He killed more than one hundred and eighty Wild Wolves and was heavily injured. His future in cultivation is worrying."
"The Survival Committee and the Supernatural Tower have jointly announced that they will reward all the heroes in the defense battle. Aside from providing compensation to the families of those who died, they will also treat Eagle Blade Meng Ao and the other heavily injured people at all costs to ensure that they can cultivate!"
Communication was restored, and the broadcast system sent out grave news. The students listened to it so much that they could not even eat breakfast.
There were only tens of millions of people in Dragon City. Thousands of them died in one go, and it was indeed devastating.
Meng Chao was the only one who continued wolfing down his food to force himself to replenish his energy.
He knew that the ambush in the fog was just the prelude to the full-scale escalation of the Monster War.
Before long, the fighting style of Earthlings that the youngsters of this generation were familiar with would be completely shattered.
And before that happened, he had to do something.
Meng Chao boarded the bus to go home.
All sorts of monster carcasses were piled up like mountains in the city, and they were rotting rapidly.
If they were left alone, a plague would soon spread.
All the elementary and middle schools and companies were on holiday today. Everyone used every second they had to clean up the battlefield and harvest resources so that their home could be at peace.
The third-year high school students missed their families and clamored about going home to visit them.
Principal Sun, who had fought for an entire night and was covered in monster blood, did not stop them.
The streets were covered in monster carcasses, along with the marks left behind by the monsters' claws and corrosion. They were also covered in bullet holes and the shattered remains of fighting vehicles blocking their way.
The buses were equipped with sturdy rams, and their tires were replaced with solid off-road tires covered in spikes. They looked like snow tires. They continuously ran over the monster carcasses and let out creaking sounds.
Most of the youngsters on the bus were silent and confused. They stared at the skyscrapers outside the window, which were bound by colorful mutated vines. It was as if a human city had been forcefully fused together with the forests of the Other World.
They could not understand how their familiar home ended up like this.
The middle-aged and old people were much calmer. The older they were, the calmer they became.
After transmigrating to Dragon City, lacking resources, rampaging zombies, rampaging ruffians, fog descending, and monsters attacking the city, there was nothing else that could make the wrinkled and white-haired old people waver.
"Look at how scared the children are. You've been living too comfortably over the past ten years. If this were twenty or thirty years ago, this would have been nothing."
"That's right. I remember that when I was young, I had to go to work during the day, and on my way back from work, I had to kill a few monsters. I also had to fetch Mairy Fur from kindergarten. Sometimes, I had to carry Mairy Fur with one hand while I swung my saber with the other to kill a few monsters. Then, I would cut off the monsters' tongues and ears so that the old man could cook a few dishes. Whew, that's what you call the Monster War!"
"Come, sisters, let's sing a song for the children now, okay?"
The old people giggled and started singing.
They no longer needed to be like teenagers and sing passionate war songs to stir up their blood.
They sang euphemistically and lyrically. They sang songs that praised the beautiful scenery of their home.
There were also popular songs from Earth.
It was as if no matter how monstrous the monsters and terrifying the Other World were, they could not stop them from admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window and searching for passionate love.
In the past, teenagers did not like their grandparents taking advantage of their old age.
But today, the children listened to them very seriously.
Later on, even Meng Chao sang along with the old people's songs. When he got out of the bus, his mood finally became better.
Blessed Heavenly Garden was not the main battlefield the night before, but the number of monsters still surpassed the number of Ghost-eyed Golden Winged Flame Beetles that invaded last time.
Fortunately, they were all normal monsters. Aside from shellfish, there were also a lot of Demonic Halberd Pigs and Iron-armored Rhinoceroses, which allowed the citizens to earn a fortune.
