The entire process was nothing short of slaughter.

Xiao Bing's expression was quite unsightly.

A hot-tempered boy behind him immediately snapped, "Wang Mengmeng, what are you so smug about! We followed you all this way and took risks too!"

"Exactly! Is this place owned by your family? Finders keepers, good things should be shared!"

Another girl chimed in as well.

Xiao Bing raised his hand to stop his teammates' agitation and squeezed out a somewhat polite smile. "Chen Yu, we meet again. You really are impressive, finding a way to get these geothermal ferns."

Chen Yu's expression remained calm. "You've been tailing us for a long time, haven't you?"

Xiao Bing shook his head. "Not really. We've just been guarding these clusters of geothermal ferns for a long time."

He paused. "No matter who gets them, we should come out and discuss how to distribute them."

"?"

Li Mengyao let out a cold snort. "Distribute them? We picked them ourselves, why on earth should we give any to you!"

Behind Xiao Bing, the hot-tempered boy spoke up directly:

"We were guarding them for a full half-hour!"

"We're all classmates; in this desperate situation, we should be looking out for each other. We might not have the credit for picking them, but we've worked hard guarding them. Giving us one or two clusters out of those three isn't asking too much, is it?"

Zhang Wanyue kept a cold face and said nothing.

Deng Yuxin hid behind Chen Yu and muttered softly, "I'd say there's neither credit nor hard work involved."

Chen Yu spoke indifferently, "Are you finished?"

Xiao Bing narrowed his eyes and spoke seriously, "Chen Yu, to be honest, we don't want to resort to violence."

"But you've seen it too; without geothermal ferns, we might freeze to death. Give us two clusters and we'll leave, no further trouble. Otherwise, if we start fighting and it happens to attract..."

He didn't finish, but the implication was clear.

Xiao Bing's group of five spread out slightly in a semi-circle; having four boys was the source of their confidence.

Most importantly, they saw the situation very clearly.

Chen Yu possessed great speed, which gave him the ability to get the geothermal ferns.

But at the same time, it meant... as a speed-type Awakened, he could at most ensure people couldn't catch or touch him, but what about those female classmates?

Unless he abandoned them all!

Otherwise, cooperation was the only way!

*Clack.*

Zhang Wanyue took half a step forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Chen Yu, looking at the opposition with an unfriendly gaze!

Deng Yuxin bit her lip and also took half a step forward!

"Hmph!"

Li Mengyao and Wang Mengmeng followed suit, stepping forward with their heads held high!

Others might not know... but they knew Chen Yu's true strength!

Wang Mengmeng didn't forget to add fuel to the fire. "You want them? Come and get them yourselves! Hmph, all talk and no action—you were a bunch of cowards before the apocalypse, and you still are now!"

"???"

Xiao Bing hadn't expected the other side to provoke them further at a time like this!

He had three boys on his side!

Theoretically, their chances of winning should be higher!

Furthermore!

Xiao Bing himself was an A-rank power-type; he had a certain level of confidence!

But seeing the five people opposite them... all looking like victory was already in their grasp, he suddenly felt a bit flustered!

"You... you guys..."

For a moment, Xiao Bing was caught in a dilemma!

Especially when he saw his teammates' frozen bodies and Wang Mengmeng's punchable face!

Chen Yu waved his hand and started walking toward the tower on his own... the four girls quickly followed, occasionally looking back at the changing expressions of Xiao Bing and the others!

"Stop right there!"

In the opposing group, the hot-tempered boy took a deep breath!

He patted Xiao Bing and stepped out!

Behind him, the other boys and girls followed suit and stepped forward.

The hot-tempered boy shouted, "What's there to be afraid of? If they don't hand over the geothermal ferns today, they're not leaving. If you have the guts, then go over my dead bo—"

*Bam!*

Chen Yu kicked him, sending him flying seven or eight meters, slamming hard against a stone wall in the distance!

One must realize that the stone wall was covered in icicles!

That guy's body was pierced almost instantly!

"As you wish."

Simultaneously, a fire axe appeared in Chen Yu's hand. "It seems you also want to use your corpses to block the way..."

Xiao Bing and the other three froze completely, their expressions changing wildly!

How could one person have such strength?

Moreover, wasn't he a speed-type Awakened!

Is this fucking speed???

The scene of death before them, which exceeded their understanding, washed over everyone's nerves!

"Run!!"

The four of them snapped out of it; their only thought was to escape!

Even Xiao Bing, with his A-rank power, had no will to fight!

The opponent was like a killing machine, showing no remorse for killing classmates!

However, from the very beginning, Chen Yu hadn't planned on letting anyone go... the moment they turned and completely exposed their backs was their time to die!

Ten times the constitution brought not only strength but also instantaneous explosive speed!

The first target was the girl who had said "finders keepers."

She was looking back in terror, just in time to meet Chen Yu's eyes which were right in front of her; the fire axe had already swung!

*Thud!*

With a dull sound, the girl was decapitated!

In a flash!

Xiao Bing only felt a gust of vicious wind approaching and dove to the side by instinct!

Truth be told!

It allowed him to escape disaster!

The sole of the boot Chen Yu kicked out missed him, but it struck the back of another boy's knee!

*Crack!*

The boy's leg gave way, and he fell forward!

Chen Yu then stepped on the back of his neck!

*Squelch!*

Another one dead!

Seeing two people die in an instant!

Someone had already broken down, collapsing to the ground... "Aaaaaah! Help... help..."

"Murder! Murder!"

Hearing the noisy sounds, Chen Yu didn't even spare a glance; his hand rose and the axe fell, and the two also lost their lives one after another!

Xiao Bing had just struggled to crawl up from the ground, and before him was hell... corpses lay in various poses in pools of blood!

And that devil was slowly turning around, walking toward him!

"No... no..."

"Chen Yu, it was all a misunderstanding just now. I... I don't want the geothermal ferns anymore! It was Wang Wei's fault, I didn't want to stop you, I really didn't want to stop you, I..."

*Splat!*

Everything returned to silence.

Chen Yu flicked the blood off the axe blade and casually wiped it on the other's clothes.

Only then did he put it away.

The entire process was a slaughter.

From beginning to end, the opposition had become slaves to fear.

They died without even having a chance to use their talents; it was truly pathetic.

In the gap while he was just wiping the axe, Chen Yu had also quietly activated the [Grand Tutor Container].

But this time, he didn't obtain any free attribute points.

Up to now, the pattern of killing groups and monsters was: obtained, didn't obtain, obtained, didn't obtain.

In other words, Chen Yu could be almost certain that there was a threshold for this.

Only by accumulating to a certain threshold could he get free attribute points to improve his stats.

Chen Yu returned to the four girls' side, his face still expressionless. "Let's keep going."

But the four girls were somewhat frightened... especially Wang Mengmeng; although she was sharp-tongued, she had never thought he would actually kill them.

They were all from the same school and even had some contact on ordinary days.

Though they had run over wanting to share the geothermal ferns to survive, their crimes didn't warrant death, did they?

It was just that she didn't dare to voice these inner thoughts in front of Chen Yu.

"Hmm? Why are you just standing there dazed?"

Chen Yu looked back and found the four girls lost in thought, failing to keep up for a moment.

"Oh, right."

Li Mengyao was the first to react, quickly tugging at Wang Mengmeng and following with her head down.

Zhang Wanyue and Deng Yuxin followed closely behind.

After walking for a distance, Zhang Wanyue finally couldn't help but ask, "Chen Yu, you... when you kill people, do you really not feel any burden at all?"

This question had been bottled up in her heart for a long time.
