Apocalypse: Launching a Counterattack Against the Villainess

Page 66

"Although she is unable to perform her daily work, she will still be useful when we leave here."

Saotome's heart skipped a beat, and then her face turned unnaturally pale.

Because she understood the meaning behind Qin Hehuan's words.

Liu Nan is about to be abandoned... she's going to be used as bait to lure zombies.

Feeling a chill run down her spine, Saotome involuntarily looked up at her side, but after their eyes met, she instantly shifted her gaze back to the folder in her hand.

"According to the regulations, Fang Xiang should also be punished accordingly, but..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hehuan's fingers suddenly began to tap the cardboard box again, as was her habit.

She knew exactly what Saotome was hesitating about.

According to previous regulations, maliciously using violence against the recipient of "rewards" is a serious violation of collective order and should be punished with exile.

Although Qin Hehuan used those timid and cowardly girls as tools to maintain her rule, it did not mean that her things could be destroyed at will.

Every life is precious.

Therefore, it should be used in more meaningful ways.

This is Qin Hehuan's consistent style.

But Fang Xiang is now a transcendent being who has activated the [Data System] and also possesses skills.

When people receive unexpected gains, their egos tend to swell.

This drawback will become increasingly apparent in the current situation.

If left unchecked, the situation will only get worse and worse.

Since he had chosen domination as the way to rule this rabble,

That should naturally be carried out consistently from beginning to end.

"Let's follow the rules..."

Faced with Qin Hehuan's instructions, Saotome's face once again showed reluctance:

"I've already explained the rules to him... but he doesn't really agree..."

"Since when do my rules need to be approved by others?" Qin Hehuan suddenly interrupted Saotome.

The latter's expression became even more troubled.

"Fang Xiang is now a transcendent being and possesses skills. If we were to forcibly exile him... we would probably have to pay a considerable price."

"It seems... I've been too gentle with you all along," Qin Hehuan suddenly curled her lips into a cryptic smile.

"To the point that you've all started to lose track of who's in charge here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the room suddenly went out.

A clear, cold voice rang out again in the darkness.

"【Elegy in the Mirror】!"

In an instant, red light unexpectedly shone into every corner of the room.

As Saotome stared in astonishment, ripples began to appear in the space.

Chapter 83: Qin Hehuan: My body... is starting to act strangely! (4k combined)

"Are you saying you're planning to abandon me after I've served my purpose?"

Fang Xiang, like most of the students at Linjiangtai, wore a men's uniform.

However, having acquired the [Data System] and the skills that came with his awakening, he still maintained a calm and confident demeanor even when facing off against a group of people.

Moreover, those standing on the other side were mostly women who were utterly useless.

"Tch, she's nothing but a toy to be used by anyone. Does she think she's some delicate princess?"

As they spoke, Fang Xiang turned his gaze to a young girl being helped by someone in the crowd opposite them.

"You! You're talking nonsense!"

Beside the girl, someone voiced a rebuttal, stating that from their current perspective, Fang Xiang's words were indeed true.

They lacked the courage to go out and search for supplies, and could only eke out a living by selling their bodies.

Even so, they absolutely cannot back down now.

Liu Nan is a living example.

If they remain silent now, these women, who are already in a vulnerable position, will only face an even more difficult situation in the future.

Therefore, they must now unite.

"President Qin has made it clear that no one can harm their companions for any reason."

"Even if disagreements arise, the student union should step in to resolve them."

"Liu Nan clearly didn't put up any resistance..."

At this point, the girl who had stood up for Liu Nan was now gritting her teeth:

"You are clearly using violence maliciously..."

"Heh," Fang Xiang glanced at the people around him, offering no denial, only a disdainful smirk:

"so what?"

What are your plans?

"Exile me?"

"Don't forget, you people can eat a decent meal now all thanks to me."

Upon hearing this, some of the boys who were about to speak chose to remain silent.

Nobody wants to get involved in a dispute.

Besides, Fang Xiang is a transcendent being, and they don't have that kind of power.

The atmosphere became oppressive, and even breathing seemed a little more difficult.

Finally, surrounded by the girls, Liu Nan lowered her head with a gloomy look in her eyes and gently tugged at the girl who had spoken up for her earlier.

"This matter cannot be left like this!" The girl pushed the other person's hand away and looked up at the student council standing not far away.

But the student council didn't say anything at first, so naturally they won't stand up now.

Matters involving those who have transcended worldly concerns are beyond their ability to handle.

To put it bluntly, the reason why the people standing here today listen to the student council is not because they have any high prestige.

Rather, it was because Qin Hehuan, as the chairman, had a way to contact the military.

But this lifeline can't hold everyone together forever.

Especially when an individual's strength exceeds that of the group.

Seeing that no one from the student council stepped forward, Fang Xiang's expression became even more arrogant, and he immediately started walking:

"You useless bunch, if you have nothing else to say, don't waste my time."

"clatter."

"clatter."

"clatter."

The sound of heels striking the floor came from the corridor, growing louder as it approached.

Qin Hehuan seemed to possess a naturally distinctive aura. Even before she entered the lecture hall, the people inside had already noticed her and turned their gazes toward the door.

Not long after, Qin Hehuan arrived as promised, followed by Saotome, whose face was somewhat pale.

"Why aren't the rules being followed?" The authoritative voice seemed to lower the temperature in the air.

This statement was clearly a question directed at the members of the student council.

Lu Hai, the student council vice president standing in the crowd, took half a step forward, pushed up his square-framed glasses, and deliberately slowed his voice as he spoke:

"Fang Xiang is a detached person; from the perspective of the long-term interests of the collective..."

"My question is, why haven't you followed the rules I set?" Qin Hehuan interrupted the other party directly, her tone aggressive.

“This…” Lu Hai was speechless, and subconsciously glanced at Fang Xiang standing on the other side.

Fang Xiang then realized what was happening.

Qin Hehuan's meaning couldn't be clearer.

It was clear they wanted to exile him.

Fang Xiang's face immediately turned very ugly.

However, considering that he had now become a transcendent being, he felt more confident and stared at Qin Hehuan as he spoke:

"what do you mean?"

"Are you really planning to banish me for some useless piece of trash?"

Useless junk...

Such words inevitably sting those girls who sell their bodies for a living.

But they were powerless to change the current situation and could only look to Qin Hehuan with hopeful eyes.

The latter spoke again.

"Leave behind what belongs to the student council, and don't come back."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiang's eyes widened suddenly. He had thought that Qin Hehuan would at most give him a warning and then let the matter drop.

Unexpectedly, this woman was truly ruthless, and he immediately spoke out in anger:

"I brought back enough food to feed you for several days. Why should I leave just because you say so?"

As he spoke, a faint halo appeared around Fang Xiang's body.

This is a precursor to activating the skill.

In a real battle, no one would intentionally prolong the skill's wind-up to leave an opening for the enemy; such behavior nowadays seems more like a deterrent.

That's right, Fang Xiang is indeed doing that.

He is no longer an ordinary person; he is a transcendent being with supernatural powers.

There is absolutely no need to obey Qin Hehuan as before.

Although he knew that Qin Hehuan was also a transcendent being, this woman had never used her skills in front of anyone.

Like most people, he may possess a "data system" but lack any actual skills.

Once this thought appeared, it quickly became unstoppable.

His gaze toward Qin Hehuan now held a hint of greed.

However, at that moment, the sound of shattering glass suddenly entered Fang Xiang's eardrum.

He instinctively raised his arm to protect his head, and then felt a gust of wind and a chill in front of him.

He quickly recovered from his brief moment of surprise and immediately looked towards the window.

The original high-strength tempered glass of the window was completely shattered, and vicious claw marks remained on the mess.

An unbearable, excruciating pain instantly surged into Fang Xiang's brain along his nerves.

Before he could even pinpoint the source of his pain, he felt a warm breath near his ear.

So he stiffly turned his head.

The next second, he froze on the spot.

A giant monster, over two meters tall, stood behind him.

The monster had human-like limbs, was pitch black, and had bulging muscles exposed on its body. Its two arms hung straight down to the ground. Its face had no features, only a mouth full of shark-like teeth, in which it held a bloody arm, which emitted steaming hot air with each breath.

"My...my hand!!! Ah!!!" Fang Xiang screamed, his heart-wrenching cries echoing throughout the classroom.

Everyone froze like statues, their brains completely shut down, unable to react to the unexpected accident.

Qin Hehuan, however, paid no heed to this, a red glint flashing in her cold eyes, as if conveying some kind of command.
