The entire school embarks on a survival journey, starting from a primeval rainforest.

After this battle, the name "Jiang Fan" and the "Spark" behind him will no longer be limited to a corner of the West District.

On the way, Jiang Fan was surrounded by people from the West District, and the atmosphere was as lively as a festival.

Despite their injuries, Lin Feng and Ding Hang stood ramrod straight, their faces radiating barely suppressed excitement and pride.

The other twenty or so people who went with them were also extremely excited, discussing the details of the battle in the East District all at once.

"Brother Fan, that kick of yours sent Wang Chao flying three or four meters! I saw it with my own eyes!" A boy gestured wildly, as if he himself had delivered the kick.

"And another thing! When Brother Fan was interrogating that scarred guy, he let slip '32 pictures,' hahaha, the faces of those people in the East District looked like they'd eaten shit!" another chimed in, drawing a burst of laughter.

"The most satisfying thing is that even Cao Bin had to put on a smiling face! Our Brother Fan's one sentence, 'Our Xinghuo,' made him make way for us! That's so damn inspiring!"

"Spark! What a great name! Our West District will have its own banner now!"

The sounds of discussion, praise, and hearty laughter mingled together, dispelling the gloom of being bullied by the "Jianghu" (江湖, a term referring to the martial arts world).

Everyone's face was beaming with pride, and their gazes toward Jiang Fan's back were filled with almost worshipful admiration.

This battle not only retrieved the stolen cards and additional "compensation," but more importantly, it boosted the morale of the West District, making the name "Spark" resounding among the many forces in the East District.

With a faint smile on his face, Jiang Fan listened to the discussions of the crowd behind him, while his mind was racing.

Today's victory is certainly exhilarating, but the potential consequences are equally enormous.

Cao Bin's forced smile and the coldness in his eyes before he left clearly indicated that this matter could not possibly end well.

The "Jianghu" (江湖, a term referring to the underworld or gangsters) are deeply entrenched in the East District. Having lost face today, they will surely try every means to retaliate.

With only the current manpower of "Spark", the pressure of a direct confrontation is enormous.

He needs allies, and he also needs to shift his focus.

Jiang Fan's heart stirred slightly. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying particular attention, he whispered to the tabby cat that had just returned from somewhere, "Have you finished the two things I asked you to do?"

He gave two instructions: First, he must beat up Tang Qingyu's leopard "Tangdou" in front of everyone.

The purpose was to lure Tang Qingyu to settle scores with him, thereby negotiating, forming a secret alliance, and taking the opportunity to gather information about the mysterious "Li Qingfeng".

Given her intelligence, it wouldn't be difficult for her to realize this.

Secondly, without being discovered, leave a note for Yang Wanjun, implying that "Zheng Daoguang" may be connected with "Jianghu" (the martial arts world). The purpose is to guide Yang Wanjun to reveal Zheng Daoguang's "identity" so that she can avoid bearing the pressure from "Honglu Society" alone and divert "Honglu Society's" attention to "Jianghu".

This would create more trouble for "Jianghu" and reduce the pressure that "Spark" needs to bear.

The tabby cat tilted its head back, its amber eyes brimming with smug satisfaction, and nodded vigorously, meowing, "All done! One was done sneakily, unseen by anyone; the other was done openly and openly! With me on the job, one is worth two!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan felt relieved and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Although this cat occasionally causes trouble, it is still very reliable in carrying out commands when it matters.

In particular, its ability to accurately identify the scents of wild animals such as leopard cubs and animal eggs, enabling it to track them, is extremely practical.

He patted the tabby cat's head and promised, "Good job. I'll grill some fish for you when we get back later."

The tabby cat squinted comfortably, purring softly.

However, this sense of security lasted for less than three seconds.

The tabby cat seemed to remember something, suddenly opened its eyes, tilted its head, and asked in a very confused tone, "But didn't you say before that you couldn't recruit followers by violence? Why are you making me beat up Tangdou again this time? And we have to do it secretly so we won't get caught... Also, why do we have to make sure someone sees us when we deliver the note to Yang Wanjun? That's so strange."

"..."

Jiang Fan stumbled, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the tabby cat on his shoulder with a look of "inquiry." He felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

You've got it backwards!

This silly cat completely got the most crucial requirement of execution, "whether or not it can be seen," completely backwards!

He should have publicly beaten Tangdou to attract Tang Qingyu, then secretly sent her a note to conceal his identity.

As a result, it interpreted it as secretly beating up the candy and publicly sending notes.

This completely ruined the plan!

Will Tang Qingyu refrain from seeking help because she doesn't know that Tang Dou was beaten up?

Even more fatally, Yang Wanjun saw the tabby cat that had gone to deliver the note!

Based on their brief previous interaction, it's easy to see that this woman is also a meticulous person. Once you connect this distinctive and exceptionally intelligent tabby cat with the name "Jiang Fan," and then think of the mystery surrounding "Zheng Daoguang"...

The secret of the "Twin Masks" is at risk of being exposed!

"I..." Jiang Fan opened his mouth, but looking at the tabby cat's innocent eyes that seemed to be asking for praise and then for answers, he was speechless for a moment, and in the end he could only let out a helpless sigh.

Even the wisest person can make a mistake, and unexpectedly, this mistake was due to the tabby cat's misunderstanding.

He frowned, quickly thinking of ways to remedy the situation.

Should we send the tabby cat back to the East District right now, and give Tangdou another "beating up" in front of Tang Qingyu or her men?

Or...

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps and a commotion came from ahead.

Jiang Fan had no choice but to put this plan aside for the time being.

Ding Rui, Tian Mo, Ji Meng, Xu Qing, and other representatives from various buildings in the West District emerged from the mist with a large group of people, rushing towards the East District.

They had obviously gathered urgently to provide support after learning that Lin Feng and his group had impulsively gone to the East District and might encounter danger.

At this moment, they bumped into the triumphant procession, and everyone was stunned, momentarily confused about the situation.

Looking at the anxious, concerned, and confused faces before him, Jiang Fan knew that the cohesion within the West District was being demonstrated most directly at this moment.

"Why is everyone here?" Jiang Fan asked loudly, a warm feeling rising in his heart.

"How could we not come?" Ding Rui's pretty face was still flushed, clearly from rushing along the way. "We heard that Lin Feng and the others impulsively went to the East District, and we were afraid they would get hurt, so we quickly gathered people to come and help! We didn't expect... you guys finished the fight so quickly, and even won..."

She looked at the crowd behind Jiang Fan, who were all wounded but whose morale was exceptionally high, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

"That's right!" Ding Hang puffed out his chest, his voice booming, "Brother Fan led us and beat those bastards to a pulp! Not only did they get back all 32 cards they stole from us, but they also got an extra 15 'apology' cards!"

As he spoke, he proudly waved the newly acquired card in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

The crowd that came to help erupted in even more enthusiastic cheers and exclamations.

Not only did they win by force, but they also gained tangible benefits, which undoubtedly made the victory even more significant and made everyone who came to their aid feel honored.

Representatives from various buildings, including Tian Mo and Ji Meng, stepped forward to express their admiration.

They knew that the pressure Jiang Fan and "Spark" were facing today was not only a provocation from "Jianghu" but also a test and suppression of the West District as a whole by the East District.

Jiang Fan's victory gave everyone in the West District a bit more confidence when facing the East District.

Jiang Fan clasped his hands in a fist salute to all four directions, then raised his voice and said, "Today we were able to get justice, first and foremost because of the courage and fighting spirit of every brother on the front lines! Even more so because of everyone's willingness to unite as one and come to our aid in times of crisis!"

Since everyone's here, that's perfect!

Once we get back, we'll process all the crocodile meat we caught today and have a feast for the whole village to celebrate!

The injured brother gets an extra portion to help him recover!

Let's all eat our fill today!

"good!!!"

"Let the feast begin! Let the feast begin!"

"Brother Fan is so generous! Eat your fill!"

The cheers were deafening, and the atmosphere reached its climax.

Nothing unites people, rewards heroes, and celebrates victory better than a real victory celebration banquet.

Surrounded by the crowd, they returned to the vicinity of Building 3 in the core of the West District, where the lively scene resembled a celebration.

Everyone brought their cooking utensils from their dorm rooms and happily got to work, preparing to cook.

In this harsh post-apocalyptic world, nothing is a more tangible promise than "having enough to eat."

Just then, Ji Ran suddenly approached Jiang Fan and said that a "great beauty" was looking for him.

A stunning beauty?

Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Tang Qingyu had come to his door?

But when he saw the person who came, he looked puzzled.

He did not recognize the woman in front of him.
