If you slap me, the whole world will suffer the same harm.

The bespectacled boy trembled as he pulled a teleportation talisman from his pocket, about to hand it over...

A dark figure descended from the sky and landed behind the three senior students.

It was a person dressed in a black combat uniform and wearing a mask with spider lilies on it. He was of medium build, but his aura was as gloomy as a stone.

He was wearing a pair of black gloves with undried bloodstains on them.

The senior student in the lead sensed something was wrong behind him and turned around.

"Who are you? I've never seen you dressed like this before..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

With a flick of his hand, the man in black sent the three senior students flying, crashing into three different trees with three muffled thuds.

They didn't even have time to scream before they passed out.

The bespectacled boy stood there blankly, the teleportation talisman in his hand falling to the ground.

He saw the tragic state of the three senior students... their chests were caved in, blood was trickling from the corners of their mouths, and he didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

Then he looked up and met the black-clad man's cold, emotionless eyes.

"Send... a teleportation scroll... (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)"

He reached out with trembling hands to pick up the fallen teleportation talisman, but the moment his fingertips touched the talisman, the man in black stepped on his wrist.

The force wasn't heavy, but it was just enough to immobilize him.

"The teleportation scroll is useless."

The man in black had a hoarse and deep voice, as if it had been sanded.

"Communications are blocked, and the teleportation array has been interfered with. Nobody can leave this forest now. (￣▽￣)"

After saying this, the man in black bent down, picked up the teleportation talisman, and crushed it in front of the boy with glasses.

The talisman crumbled into powder, emitting no light whatsoever.

The transmission failed.

The boy with glasses suddenly contracted his pupils; fear finally overwhelmed him completely.

"Help...help me...!!!"

He shouted those three words with all his might, and then was knocked unconscious by the man in black.

The man in black straightened up and said into the communicator on his wrist, "Sector D7 is cleared. Deliver to the central square as planned."

"Received. E2 area is also cleared out. Good haul here, caught over forty new students. (￣▽￣)"

"The prison cell in the central square is ready; we can begin the centralized transport."

The man in black turned off the communicator, grabbed the bespectacled boy by the back of his collar with one hand, and lifted him up like a chick.

Then he glanced at the three unconscious senior students on the ground and waved towards the bushes.

Two more men in black emerged from the bushes, each carrying one of the senior students on their backs, while the remaining one was dragged along the ground by his feet. The three of them quickly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Meanwhile, in the dense forest, area C2.

Long Xiaotian and his group were hiding behind a thicket of bushes, carefully observing the movements ahead.

They were lucky... Although Lin Chen tricked them after the teleportation, they quickly found each other thanks to Bai Ye's reconnaissance abilities and successfully reunited.

The team currently consists of four boys: Long Xiaotian, Bai Ye, Ying Ren, and Hong Shaohuang, and four girls: Feng Ling'er, Shui Miaomiao, Hua Qianyu, and Bing Qing, for a total of eight people, which can be considered the main lineup of the Qingshui High School sub-team.

Of course, what they didn't know was that the other nearly one thousand students from Qingshui High School were scattered in various corners of the dense forest, enduring the same inexplicable pain brought on by Lin Chen, and cursing the same swear word.

"There's some noise ahead. (ー_ー)"

Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

All eight people simultaneously lowered their bodies and hid in the shadows of the bushes.

In the open space ahead, a third-year female student wearing the uniform of Hangzhou University is fighting with a man in black.

Calling it a fight isn't quite accurate... The senior was attacking relentlessly, showering the man in black with all sorts of superpowers as if they were free, while the man in black simply dodged leisurely, showing no interest in retaliating at all.

Then the man in black moved.

Just one punch.

The senior's protective shield shattered like paper, and she flew seven or eight meters before crashing into a tree, sliding down, and losing consciousness.

Long Xiaotian's pupils suddenly contracted.

"That punch... was at least a level four strength-type attack. (;´Д`)"

"more than."

Bai Ye's expression was more serious than usual.

"He didn't even use his full strength. He was able to shatter the senior's protective shield with a single punch even without using his full strength. His true strength is at least level five or higher."

"Level 5? Isn't our principal only Level 6? (〃＞＿＜;〃)"

Hua Qianyu covered her mouth.

"Who exactly are these people?"

No one could answer her.

Then they saw the man in black lift the unconscious senior student with one hand, drag her on the ground like a piece of trash, and walk into the depths of the dense forest.

The senior student's school uniform was torn in several places by branches and stones on the ground, but the man in black didn't care.

"He took the person away...(;´-ι_-｀)"

Feng Ling'er's voice trembled.

"Where is he taking him?"

"No matter where you take it, it's definitely not a good thing."

Bai Ye drew the short sword from his waist.

"Let's follow them."

"Follow them?!"

Hong Shaohuang's eyes widened like copper bells.

"Are you crazy! That's a level five ability user! The eight of us combined wouldn't even be able to take a single finger off him! (╯°Д°)╯"

"We're not going to fight, we're going to scout."

Bai Ye's voice was deep and calm.

"If enemies of level five or higher appear in the dense forest, then this survival battle has gone terribly wrong. We need to find out what they are doing, how many of them there are, and where they have taken them, and then find an opportunity to contact the principal."

The eight people remained silent for a few seconds.

Then Shadowblade nodded first, drew his dagger, and followed behind Bai Ye.

Long Xiaotian gritted his teeth and followed.

"Damn it, I thought being tricked by Lin Chen was bad enough, but now this group of men in black has appeared... Did they forget to check the almanac before going out today? (╬◣д◢)"

What they didn't know was that their misfortune had only just begun.

Because Lin Chen was walking towards them at that moment.

The boundary between D and C areas of the dense forest.

Lin Chen strolled along the forest path shirtless, holding a branch he had broken off from a tree, idly flicking at the bushes along the way.

His expression was like that of a retired old man taking a walk in a park, showing no sign that he was participating in a life-or-death survival battle.

"Where are the beasts? Where are the senior students? This forest is so deserted... (￣へ￣)"

He was unaware, of course, that his area, D, had been designated as a high-level security zone by the senior female students.

All combat teams received a warning of "psychopathic presence" and took a detour to evacuate in advance.

Not to mention the upperclassmen, even the alien beasts were chased out of Zone D by him.

In a sense, Lin Chen created an absolutely safe area all by himself.

But he himself was completely unaware of this and was still worried about not being able to find someone to beat him up.

"188,000... Why is it so hard to collect the last bit of masochistic points...(´-ι_-｀)"

He sighed and then stopped.

A series of hurried footsteps came from the woods ahead.

It wasn't the sound of a strange beast's footsteps... The footsteps of a strange beast were heavier, and the rhythm of its four hooves touching the ground was different.

These are human footsteps, the footsteps of several people, and they are running very hurriedly.
