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

"This...is too ruthless!" someone whispered in the crowd.

"To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit. Cao Bin, that idiot, is terrifying." Someone thought to themselves, not daring to speak out.

"From now on, the name 'Jiang Fan' will become a thing of the past, and 'Spark' will probably fall apart and cease to exist immediately." Someone whispered to their friend, seemingly already seeing the future.

"How could this happen? Why did it escalate to this point?" Someone behind Jiang Fan couldn't help but whisper.

Before Cao Bin offered to spare their lives, they were still united with Lin Feng and the others against a common enemy, and even though they were afraid, they were ready to fight to the death with the enemy at any time.

But now their hearts are wavering.

Is it really necessary to die for Jiang Fan, who is destined to die?

They were neither Jiang Fan's good friends or brothers, nor were they core members of Xinghuo.

Following him is just to gain some benefits and survive well in this apocalypse, isn't it?

Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of the people behind Jiang Fan, Cao Bin's expression grew even more pleased. He simply waved his hand, signaling the martial arts practitioners to step back: "No need to rush, think it over carefully. We have plenty of time."

He stood at the front of the crowd, calmly watching the group of people behind Jiang Fan.

This moment, this scene, is the proudest moment of his life.

In his view, this time travel was designed specifically for people like him.

Prince and general, would you rather have a kind?

In such places, the possibility of real realization arises.

Jiang Fan's face was grim, and he remained silent, seemingly resigned to his fate.

Lin Feng and the others shouted angrily at the crowd behind them, telling them not to think about such trivial matters, and that even if they betrayed Jiang Fan now, Cao Bin would not really let them go.

"But there's still a glimmer of hope for survival, isn't there?" someone whispered.

"Li Yi, you fucking think this through. Brother Fan has been good to you. On your first day after transmigrating, you got bitten by bugs and had a high fever. If it weren't for Brother Fan taking care of you, you would have been dead long ago!" Ji Ran was furious. The person who spoke was his roommate.

"But we just want to survive, what's wrong with that..." someone retorted softly.

"You son of a bitch Wang Tianyuan, you cowardly bastard, I really misjudged you!" Ding Hang cursed angrily. This was another roommate of his who had been saying nice things to him in order to get him to join Xinghuo. He had also mentioned this to Jiang Fan in private.

Once someone starts speaking out, others will follow suit.

From the crowd behind Jiang Fan, people began to offer their own ideas.

In the face of life and death, it is impossible for everyone to be fearless.

Cao Bin's smugness grew more and more obvious. This kind of "dog-eat-dog" infighting was infinitely more satisfying than violent crushing.

Jiang Fan remained silent, but his eyes occasionally swept across the faces of Zheng Xiuyuan, Zhao Yi, Jiang Xu, and other core members of Xinghuo.

They were among the first to hunt anacondas with Jiang Fan, the first to be roused by bloodshed. Although they didn't have as many opportunities to interact as Lin Feng and the others, he always treated them all equally.

At this crucial moment, he also wanted to see what choices these people would make.

"Why did this happen? How did it come to this? It's only the fourth day! Only the fourth day!" Qin Muyao murmured to herself beside Tang Qingyu, unable to bear watching any longer.

Although no bloodshed has occurred yet, it is not difficult to predict how things will develop.

Given Jiang Fan's terrifying strength and the angry expressions of his companions, it was clear that...

Even though hundreds or nearly a thousand people from the martial arts world have completely surrounded this place, both sides will inevitably suffer considerable casualties today.

This was something she couldn't bear to see.

"Sister Muyao, you can't just focus on the few days since you traveled through time..." Tang Qingyu gently shook her head beside Qin Muyao. "There are still 13264 people on the regional rankings. Did you see the rankings when they were first released?"

"I...I didn't pay much attention, but I remember there seemed to be quite a few more people..."

"13821 people." Tang Qingyu gave a clear answer. "I specifically asked the people who stayed up late that night. In other words, from the end of the first day until now, 557 people have died at our school."

"This is still from the end of the first day, and it's already the fourth day and hasn't ended yet. In less than three days, that's equivalent to more than 100 to nearly 200 people dying silently every day. And this doesn't even include the situation on the first day; I'm afraid the number of people who died that day would have been even higher."

"What do you mean by all this..." Qin Muyao frowned. She knew that people were dying all around her, but she didn't understand it as thoroughly as Tang Qingyu.

"What I want to tell you is that this is no longer our society governed by the rule of law. The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, and the survival of the fittest are more suitable for this place, and it is also the inevitable end point we will reach."

"But...this is too fast..."

"Sister Mu Yao, you still don't understand the point I'm making!" Tang Qingyu sighed softly. "There are still people in the school who haven't left their dorms for four days. They're hoping to travel back in time someday."

Similarly, many students never left the school and dared not collect food. They relied on classmates and friends for help, or when they were starving, they would go to the cafeteria to ask the teachers in charge for something to eat.

But the bonds of friendship between classmates and friends will eventually run out, and the cafeteria's supplies will eventually be depleted.

One day, we will have to find a way to get food ourselves; if we can't, we will starve to death.

Constantly thinking "it's too fast" will only lead to falling behind, and such a person will ultimately not survive.

"I understand what you're saying, but people have to adapt little by little. Even if we should adapt as quickly as you say, we can't just kill each other like this..." Qin Muyao actually admitted that Tang Qingyu was right, but she still couldn't help but refute it.

She didn't want to admit her mistakes; otherwise, the beliefs she had always held onto would collapse instantly.

"You've got cause and effect backwards, Sister Mu Yao." Tang Qingyu shook her head and sighed softly. "They didn't kill each other to adapt to the environment, but because they had already adapted to the environment, they killed each other."

"Because they have all experienced the harshness and cruelty of the environment, they understand even more clearly that if they want to survive, they must eliminate potential threats."

Otherwise, you'll have to be constantly on guard against potential enemies who could appear in the shadows at any time and deliver a fatal blow.

But that's unrealistic. How can you expect to guard against thieves a thousand days when you're already a thief yourself?

Qin Muyao remained silent, unable to speak for a long time.

She has now broken through to the Spirit Body realm, but she only achieved this step with the help of Shen Gaoyuan and Tang Qingyu, the brother and sister.

Looking back on the scene of my first time killing a monster, I was trembling with fear and procrastinating for a long time. Wasn't it because of my cowardly mentality of "too fast" that I was at work?

Thinking about it carefully, isn't the person who can now stand in front of people with composure and barely manage to say a few words in a crowd also one of those who should have been eliminated by "survival of the fittest"?

If it weren't for Dawn's constant care, she would have had a hard time even getting food for herself, let alone raising a team of over two hundred people and establishing the "Order" organization.

As a beneficiary of the "survival of the fittest" group who is helped by the "winners," what right do you have to judge Tang Qingyu and her group who can quickly adapt to the environment and should be classified as the "winners" group?

After a long silence, Qin Muyao spoke again softly, "Are we just going to stand by and watch those freshmen get bullied? They might very well..."

She stopped there, unable to bear it any longer.

At the same time, she didn't quite understand what Tang Qingyu had done today. In her impression, this girl had never lacked a sense of justice.

Especially when it is within our capabilities.

However, in response to her question, Tang Qingyu suddenly asked a somewhat strange question.

"Sister Mu Yao, do you know Jiang Fan?"

"How...how could I possibly understand an ordinary student, especially one who isn't even my student..."

"But I understand!" Tang Qingyu said, a strange look appearing on her face, but it quickly faded away.

"Through my grandmother's connections, I found out something interesting..."
