[[[cp|w:210|h:140|a:c]]] If previously the students in the class were just in a state of panic, then after witnessing the fiery red beetles charging up the stairs, they truly became terrified, their teeth chattering uncontrollably.

Less than five seconds later, the first floor echoed with the sound of "bang, bang, bang," like heavy hammers pounding in everyone's hearts!

"They... They must be trying to break down the doors!"

"The students on the first floor must have locked themselves in the classrooms... but..."

"But those giant insects are so destructive, how can the classroom doors withstand them?"

"It's over, it's over! My girlfriend is in a class meeting on the first floor right now! Who can save her..."

Several students in the class, including some weak boys, collapsed on the ground, as if all their strength had been drained, trembling uncontrollably.

"We should quickly lock the door! We can hold out for a while... better use desks to block the door! And we're on the sixth floor, so the threat from the insects will be much less..."

As the class monitor, Sun Weiwei frantically gave orders, but the students did not immediately act; instead, they all looked at Li Jiayu—obviously, in such a situation, Li Jiayu was clearly more reliable.

"There's no need to lock the door. Just arrange a few desks in a fan shape to block the beetles a bit... I will kill one as it comes in!"

Li Jiayu stood firm, the howling cold wind outside the window stirring the black strands of hair around his ears, making him look incredibly cool, just like his sharp and stern black eyes.

Sun Weiwei stared at Li Jiayu, feeling that his appearance was very unfamiliar, almost making her think she had mistaken someone—Li Jiayu used to be gentle and weak, always seeming a bit effeminate, but now he had shed his former softness and instead became decisive and commanding, exuding a captivating charm.

"What? How can that be? This idea is terrible!"

Chen Zhongliang, who had always had a poor relationship with Li Jiayu, jumped up and shouted:

"Do you think you're a war god? There are a hundred giant insects down there! There are two main teaching buildings here... so at least fifty will enter our building! Fifty! That's like fifty small tanks! Even if we use all our strength, we might not be able to handle one, let alone fifty? Even if you're invincible, you'll still die from exhaustion!"

Hearing Chen Zhongliang's words, the students in the class hesitated. Indeed, Li Jiayu's "doomsday prediction" was quite shocking, making them trust him, but... Li Jiayu was still a student, and he had always been a weak boy in class, with very low combat ability!

At that moment, a loud "bang" came from the first floor!

Clearly, the iron door of a classroom on the first floor had been broken by the giant insects!

Immediately after, there were piercing screams, the unique hoarse cries of girls, making everyone's eardrums hurt! "Don't eat me! Please don't eat me!" "This must be an illusion... an illusion... ah..." "Yang Zhisheng! You bastard pushed me... ah, my leg..." "Who can save us? I don't want to die so young..."

From the first floor to the thirteenth floor, everyone except Li Jiayu turned pale. Even though they couldn't see the insects slaughtering in the classrooms, just hearing the screams gave them a sense of the horror.

And even worse... they couldn't escape! They were completely trapped, like fish in a barrel!

Some girls on the second and third floors, terrified, screamed and jumped out of the windows, but all of them broke or fractured their legs, lying on the ground moaning and unable to get up.

Seeing those "jumping girls" rolling on the ground in pain, those who also wanted to jump no longer dared to. At this moment, two fiery red beetles returned to the stairs and started feasting on the "jumping girls" who were sitting there waiting to die, "crunch, crunch" gnawing at them!

The situation became increasingly severe, and the threat grew larger. The classrooms on the first floor had been completely overrun by the insects, and all the unfortunate students were slaughtered!

Even on the sixth floor, far from the first floor, Li Jiayu could smell the strong scent of blood!

"I'm not a war god, but my combat awareness is much stronger than yours. I know the attack methods, weaknesses, and blind spots of those insects. As long as we use the right tactics, we have a chance to fight."

Li Jiayu was confident, with at least a 70% chance of success, because he had fought insects countless times in his previous life, so much that he had become numb to them—although he no longer had the same abilities as before, his combat awareness was still very strong. In terms of combat awareness, perhaps only the top special forces from various countries could match him.

"Alright, alright, Chen Zhongliang, stop talking! I choose to trust Li Jiayu!" Sun Weiwei said.

"Why? He just likes to show off, we can't be his sacrificial lamb... He, he gets out of breath running a kilometer, how can we trust him in this situation... We should trust me, I'm the physical education committee member, I'm the strongest, and the axe should be given to me! Quick, give me the axe!" Chen Zhongliang said.

Sun Weiwei took a step closer to Li Jiayu, standing between Chen Zhongliang and Li Jiayu, glaring at Chen Zhongliang:

"Chen Zhongliang! Show some respect!"

"You! Hmph! Slut! I've always looked at you, Sun Weiwei, with disdain! No wonder you'll sell your body and be a mistress in the future, you're so slutty now! Li Jiayu is just a bit more handsome! Why are you protecting him so much? Do you have a thing for him, want him to protect you, and then sleep with him?"

"Chen Zhongliang, shut up! I, Sun Weiwei, am not that low! No wonder you suddenly went crazy like you were on fire, it turns out you're jealous that Li Jiayu is taking the spotlight! You're sick! Seeing me trust Li Jiayu, you're taking it out on him, are you even a man?" Sun Weiwei said angrily.

"Chen Zhongliang! Get out, this classroom doesn't welcome you. You should be grateful that I'm in a good mood today... otherwise, the first blow of the axe would be for you!"

Li Jiayu glared at Chen Zhongliang, who felt a killing intent like an arrow piercing his eyes, making his body hair stand on end. He cowered and dared not argue further.

Chen Zhongliang looked around at the other students, seeing that they were clearly more inclined to trust Li Jiayu. Realizing he couldn't command them, he turned and said gruffly:

"You're great! I'll leave, okay? I'll hide in the storage room on the thirteenth floor, let you wait to die on the sixth floor, hmpf!"

Just as Chen Zhongliang left, Li Jiayu's ears perked up, and he suddenly looked out the window.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Jiamin asked.

"Scythe beetles! The scythe beetles are here..."

"What? The ones you mentioned... the ones that first cut off my head?" Zhou Jiamin felt herself getting wet again.

"Yes, but it will be my first sacrifice!"

Li Jiayu's lips curled into a cold smile, licking his dry, cracked lips, and gripping the fire axe tightly:

"Also... it will be my first talisman in this disaster!"

As he spoke, a sharp buzzing sound was heard, and a group of dark, unidentified creatures appeared in the sky, moving so fast that they were in sight within two seconds!

They were black beetles the size of a computer chair, with sharp black blades all over their bodies. The most terrifying thing was their mouthparts—two mandibles a meter long, looking like bloodthirsty scythes!

Scythe beetles!

Harvesting human flesh!
