Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Domineering

The person who came was none other than Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao had been eating grilled meat in his tent when he heard about the fight outside.

If it were just a personal matter, he wouldn’t bother to intervene, but it had escalated into a conflict between the two schools, potentially affecting their dignity and reputation.

Since Yang Xiao still needed to rely on Kongming Academy to survive, as one of the academy’s survivors, he couldn’t just stand by.

Yang Xiao, accompanied by Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, Feifei, and others, approached and overheard Zhou Qiang threatening to wipe out Kongming Academy. He was filled with righteous indignation and boldly declared,

”Who gave you the confidence to think you can wipe out our Kongming Academy?”

The survivors of Kongming Academy, under the intense pressure from Zhou Qiang, suddenly brightened at Yang Xiao’s appearance. They were invigorated and looked towards Yang Xiao and his group, automatically making way for them.

Zhou Qiang and his group were also taken aback, not knowing what to make of Yang Xiao but sensing a different kind of confidence in his demeanor.

”Brother Yang!”

Zhao Gang was the first to rush up to Yang Xiao, greeting him, knowing that despite being two years older than Yang Xiao, calling him ’Brother’ was absolutely right at that moment.

Seeing Zhao Gang covered in blood, Yang Xiao asked,

”Can you hold on?”

Zhao Gang thumped his chest, filled with bravado,

”I can! Just give the command, and I’ll be the first to charge in, let those bastards from Xianan University see our might.”

Yang Xiao nodded and said,

”Good, you’re a true man. Tell me, are the ones who chased you to Nine-tails City here?”

”Yes, though we managed to kill two of them earlier; three are left here, led by him.”

Zhao Gang pointed distantly at Li Wei.

Li Wei, a temperamental person, jumped out when he saw Zhao Gang pointing at him and shouted,

”That’s right, I killed them. What can you do about it? If you have the guts, come on! I’ll annihilate you all today!”

Although Zhao Gang knew he couldn’t defeat Li Wei, he couldn’t lose face in front of so many people, so he waved his sword and shouted,

”Come on then, who’s afraid of whom!”

Yang Xiao patted Zhao Gang’s shoulder and said,

”Calm down. Since I’m here, I’ll make sure to settle this. This isn’t just your personal matter; it concerns all of Kongming Academy. Can people just come and bully us, kill us as they please?”

Yang Xiao’s voice carried far, and everyone on the field listened intently. This moment shook everyone to their core; his words struck a chord with everyone.

Surviving in the post-apocalyptic world isn’t easy. Within the school, competition exists, requiring unity for survival. Outside, a powerful backing is necessary.

Now, everyone has lost contact with their families. The world is shrouded in thick fog, with mutant monsters everywhere, making survival difficult. For development and survival, everyone at Kongming Academy needs to stick together.

This notion gradually came to Yang Xiao’s mind after Zhao Gang was chased to Nine-tails City by Li Wei. Today, as Zhou Qiang brought 200 people and boasted about wiping out Kongming Academy, everyone suddenly realized personal strength was fragile, and survival required unity.

Yang Xiao’s words ignited a flame of hope for survival in everyone’s heart.

Though rash, Zhao Gang was not foolish. He had started this trouble, but now a turning point had arrived, so he immediately rallied:

”Brothers, sisters, Yang Xiao is right. We need to unite to avoid being bullied. Now, Xianan University wants to destroy us. What should we do? Are we cowards? If we cower now, the men will be killed, and the women will be harmed. Is this what you want?”

Zhao Gang’s voice was loud, filled with emotional fervor, and highly compelling.

Yang Xiao looked at Zhao Gang, suddenly seeing him in a new light.

Even more unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Gang finished speaking, Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, Chen Fei, Feifei, and others beside him shouted in unison:

”We’d rather die fighting than be humiliated!”

Huang Wen and Chen Fei had once suffered the pain of mockery and humiliation, while Qin Yu and Deng Xiao, known beauties of Kongming Academy, inspired a protective desire and heroic hearts among the boys.

Consequently, more people drew their weapons and shouted,

”United we stand, die before surrender!”

”United we stand, die before surrender!”

...

The shouts echoed across the field, resounding above Kongming Academy’s ruins.

This was the first united roar for survival and development since Kongming Academy suffered the great cataclysm.

This roar voiced everyone’s suppressed desires.

At this moment, in the face of a strong enemy and life or death, the survivors of Kongming Academy exhibited a united, indomitable spirit.

Everyone was deeply moved; many shouted through their tears.

No one expected that in the face of external pressure, everyone would suddenly become so united.

Yang Xiao hadn’t expected it, nor had Huang Wen, Qin Yu, or Zhao Gang.

Xiao Zhe and Xu Hua hadn’t anticipated it either.

Xiao Zhe and Xu Hua were awkward because their team also joined in the rally, forcing Xiao Zhe and Xu Hua to raise their hands and shout with everyone.

Zhou Qiang was even more surprised. He never expected that his appearance, by mere accident, would unite the previously scattered survivors of Kongming Academy like never before.

Though he still believed he could lead his 200 men to wipe out Kongming Academy, he was somewhat shaken internally.

Li Wei and the others could only wait for Zhou Qiang’s instructions, not daring to act rashly.

Unintentionally, Yang Xiao was thrust to the forefront, becoming the focal point of unity for Kongming Academy.

Yang Xiao also understood that whether the people of Kongming Academy could truly come together depended on how he handled the upcoming conflict while preserving the academy’s honor.

Yang Xiao raised his hands and signaled for everyone to quiet down.

The crowd stopped shouting and instantly quieted.

Zhou Qiang looked at Yang Xiao’s cloth armor and inwardly laughed, wondering how capable this kid could be.

”Haha, impressive. I just discovered there’s another way to survive in this apocalypse by shouting slogans. Did you major in rhetoric and oratory?”

Yang Xiao smiled faintly, unperturbed, and said,

”I like to be straightforward. Your people from Xianan University attacked ours first. Today, although we killed two of your men, you are not at a loss, as you also killed two of ours. Four for two—you still have the advantage. How do you want to settle this?”

”What do you want?”

Zhou Qiang gritted his teeth, anger flaring in his eyes, and retaliated.

Yang Xiao calmly said,

”Simple, I give you two choices. First, have your people kneel and apologize, and this matter ends here.”

”And the second?”

Zhou Qiang suppressed his anger, inadvertently clenching his fists, and asked through gritted teeth.

”The second choice is simple too: leave the culprit’s head.”

Buzz!

The entire audience, including the 200 people from Xianan University, all felt their minds buzzing.

How domineering Yang Xiao was!
