67: New situation

Chapter 67: New Situation

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed. If it were anyone else, he might have misremembered.

But if it was Class Teacher Jian Qingqiu, he guaranteed he wouldn't misremember!

Jiang Chen remembered clearly that when Principal Gao Hong called out names for people to rush out, he didn't call Jian Qingqiu's name.

Jiang Chen also remembered that before the accident happened, Jian Qingqiu was sitting in a lounge chair in a corner, calmly reading a book.

Jiang Chen felt a lump in his heart.

The Class Teacher hadn't gone out with the Principal, and there was no sign of the Class Teacher in the control room now. So where did Jian Qingqiu go?

Jiang Chen and Nangong Yan stood together, feeling a great headache.

Such a large living person couldn't have just disappeared, could she?

Unable to figure it out for a moment, Jiang Chen could only temporarily suppress the questions within him. There were other matters to deal with in the field right now.

In the control room, Vice Principal Zhao Zhong, who had a steady and cautious personality, picked up a sickle and delivered a finishing blow to each fallen Dark Beastmaster.

Afterward, he returned to the Heavenly Eye Great Array, quickly scanning all situations within the Underwater Shelter to ensure there were no anomalies, finally letting out a huge sigh of relief!

"Principal Zhao, what do we do now?" Jiang Chen swam in front of Zhao Zhong and asked.

The other teachers and students also instinctively gathered, their cohesion unprecedentedly strong after just experiencing a victorious battle.

At this moment, everyone's faces were very complex, showing both joy and sorrow.

Both excitement and anger.

Both pain and gnashing of teeth.

They had defeated the Dark Beastmasters hiding in the Underwater Shelter, but due to the betrayal of Dean Director of Academic Affairs, Principal Gao Hong and over a dozen other teachers had probably died heroically!

This conflicting feeling tormented everyone.

"Should we ask for help from the other four Underwater Shelters?" one of the teachers suggested.

Zhao Zhong nodded, then shook his head: "In fact, when Principal Gao Hong's side had an accident, I had already called for help."

"It's just that..."

Zhao Zhong's words trailed off halfway, but everyone understood his meaning.

On the adjacent cave wall were surveillance images of the other four Underwater Shelters, and from the images, it could be seen that the other four Underwater Shelters had no movement!

This was actually quite normal!

Through the Heavenly Eye Great Array, it could be seen that due to the arrival of Typhoon "Candu," the area outside the Underwater Shelter was now densely packed with all kinds of sea beasts, their roars rising and falling.

Natural disaster + sea beasts, under such extremely harsh conditions, even if the other four Underwater Shelters truly wanted to help, they would be powerless!

Don't call them selfish!

In this situation, even if something happened to the other Underwater Shelters, Principal Gao Hong and Zhao Zhong would likewise not dare to step out of the Underwater Shelter, because that would be seeking death!

Moreover, if something happened to them, what would become of the thousands of people hiding in the Underwater Shelter?

In this situation, everyone could only save themselves!

This was also why the Dark Beastmasters dared to infiltrate the Underwater Shelter at this time and launch a surprise attack—even if Ningshui Town government and other Underwater Shelters received the news, they couldn't help!

Thinking of this, everyone's faces instantly turned pale and powerless.

Everyone closed their eyes in pain, whispering mournfully: "Principal Gao..."

"Teacher Chen Na, Teacher Li Dong..."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, his chest heavy and suppressed, as if a large stone was pressing down on him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable!

In that situation, Principal Gao Hong and over a dozen teachers like Chen Na were in a situation where death was almost certain.

Just thinking of these beloved teachers dying tragically, Jiang Chen felt a surge of murderous intent erupt in his chest, making him incredibly angry!

That feeling, even after killing these Dark Beastmasters, still couldn't appease his hatred!

These Dark Beastmasters were truly worse than beasts.

"I understand everyone's feelings."

Amidst the oppressive sorrow, Zhao Zhong's eyes were red, and he spoke slowly in a hoarse voice: "But at this very moment, we have a more important mission, which is to protect this Underwater Shelter and protect everyone!"

"Principal Gao Hong, Teacher Chen Na, they have already sacrificed themselves. We must all the more inherit their dying wishes and ensure the safety of this Underwater Shelter!"

"Otherwise, they will not rest in peace!"

"Yes!" Jiang Chen and everyone else roared in unison!

Zhao Zhong suppressed his inner grief and quickly ordered: "Guan Fu, Gu Men, and the rest of you, immediately follow me to inspect the entrance and check the collapse situation!"

"Yes!"

"Cheng Biao, Qin Qi, you two go again to check the identity information of the people in the Underwater Shelter, to guard against possible remaining Dark Beastmaster remnants!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Zhong then turned again to look at Jiang Chen, Geng Ben, Shi Shan, and the others. A hint of relief finally appeared on his sorrowful and pained face: "Students Jiang Chen, Geng Ben, Shi Shan, and others, today you are all heroes, and you did a beautiful job!"

"Originally, it was our teachers' duty to guard the Underwater Shelter and protect your safety, but instead, you saved us. I am very ashamed!"

"It is the teachers who were useless, leading to such a tragic event!"

"But now it's an emergency, we'll save the praise for later. Right now, I need you, the school needs you, the people need you!"

"After the two incidents just now, the Underwater Shelter must be in great panic and chaos, so I need you to maintain order, lest these people do anything extreme. Can you do it?"

"Yes!" Jiang Chen, Geng Ben, and the others roared in unison again.

"Then let's move!"

"Alright!"

Immediately, everyone in the control room filed out, all taking on their responsibilities in this crisis.

Jiang Chen, Geng Ben, Nangong Yan, Shi Shan, and the others also quickly rushed to the Underwater Shelter hall. As expected, with the explosion at the Underwater Shelter entrance and the battle fluctuations in the control room, the crowd in the Underwater Shelter hall was already like a chaotic ant colony.

People were full of shock, running around like headless chickens.

Jiang Chen and the others unhesitatingly summoned their beast companions and unleashed their spiritual power. The powerful spiritual power fluctuations finally suppressed the chaotic crowd, giving everyone a dose of calm. These people finally obediently returned to the small water caves in the rest area.

It took a full half an hour to finally calm everyone's emotions.

Suddenly, at this moment, several teachers rushed out of the Underwater Shelter entrance passage anxiously, shouting with both surprise and joy: "Everyone gather, everyone gather!"

"There's a new situation at the Underwater Shelter entrance, and students and teachers with spiritual power, please come with me immediately!"

"Everyone gather, everyone gather..."

These teachers shouted excitedly, their faces full of emotion.
