Pretending to be a genius starts with the civilization advancement assessment.

Chapter 37 It's him! He's here.
They had all seen that video.

The battle and tutorial videos posted by the account "Ayu Loves to Play" were like a ray of light in the darkness, letting them know that the high school student wearing black armor, who looked like a god of war, was in Hongfulou not far away.

They were grasping at straws; almost every phone with battery left frantic comments and requests for help under the video, while also marking their locations.

For the first hour, they were full of hope, looking at Hung Fook Restaurant every time they saw it, hoping that the black figure would appear.

but.

Time passed slowly, and it seemed that there were three or four more Abyssal Wolves outside.

Hope is growing increasingly faint as the number of wolves outside increases, and will eventually fade away.

"He will come, and the officials will come too. We must hold on."

Ms. Li secretly turned her face away and quickly wiped the corner of her eye with her sleeve. Her voice grew softer and softer, and she could hardly believe it herself.

The car fell into a suffocating silence once again, with only low sobs, suppressed breathing, and the unsettling pacing of the monster outside.

at this time!

Xiaoya once again habitually and almost hopelessly raised her head and glanced in the direction of Hongfulou.

The next second, her body suddenly froze, and her eyes widened instantly, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

She jerked her head back abruptly, the movement so sudden that she bumped into the seat in front of her with a soft "thud," causing several classmates around her to look at her in alarm.

"What's wrong, Xiaoya? Are the monsters about to attack?"

Teacher Zhang asked in a tense, low voice, gripping the fire hammer tightly, as if this little thing used to break windows could give him a false sense of security.

Xiaoya gripped her friend's arm tightly, trembling with excitement and almost incoherent.

"Him! No, it's not him! He's out, he's out! Hongfulou! That guy in black armor! Lin Yi! He's out, right at the entrance!"

what? !

In an instant, the entire carriage felt as if it were being electrified.

All the children who could still move forgot their fear and need to hide. They all struggled to raise their heads, pressing against the bottom edge of the car window, and countless eyes eagerly turned towards the direction of Hongfulou.

Really!

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a figure dressed in menacing black armor and holding a jet-black staff stood like a sculpture at the entrance of Hongfulou.

That uniquely designed armor, and that long staff that wreaked havoc in the video!
It's really him!

Did he see our message? Is he here to rescue us?
In an instant, the flame of hope that was about to be extinguished burst into flames in everyone's heart!
Then they saw the black figure move!
Without hesitation or delay, he charged directly towards their bus like an arrow released from a bow! His speed was astonishing; the heavy armor seemed to have no effect on his agility whatsoever!

"Oh my god! He's charging at us!"

"Watch out! There are monsters outside!" a student couldn't help but whisper, both excited and worried.

Just as Lin Yi was sprinting along the path, three Abyss Wolves were loitering between Hongfulou and the bus. They had obviously spotted the uninvited guest and immediately bared their teeth and let out threatening howls.

Everyone in the car felt their hearts leap into their throats.

As Lin Yi sped along, he held a stick in his right hand and flicked his left index finger out in quick succession!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
Three beams of intensely concentrated, azure light, each about an inch long, traversed the brief space in an instant and precisely pierced the heads of the three abyssal wolves.

The three abyssal wolves froze mid-pounce, unable to utter a single scream. Their massive bodies collapsed as if their bones had been removed, and then, to everyone's horrified gaze, they began to silently crumble and disintegrate.

Instant kill!

A true instant kill! A gasp rippled through the car; what you see in the video is nothing compared to witnessing it in person.

That blue light, is that what's called source energy?!
The remaining five Abyss Wolves were clearly stunned by this sudden and swift slaughter.

They witnessed their companions fall dead instantly, and they also felt the aura that already terrified them.

Then, they let out a terrified howl in Lin Yi's direction, and without hesitation, they turned around, tucked their tails between their legs, and fled in a flash towards the ominous purplish-black vortex in the distance.

Ran?

These ferocious monsters that had trapped them here were actually scared away?!
The people inside the car could hardly believe their eyes!

Just then, Lin Yi rushed to the bus like a black whirlwind. He raised his hand and used a long black iron stick to knock on the window with the words "SOS" on it.

The people inside hurriedly rolled down the car window, and then a clear voice, calm yet slightly urgent, came in.

"Are all those inside still able to move? Get out quickly and follow me to Hung Fook Restaurant. There's no time to lose, hurry!"

silence.

The deathly silence lasted for about two seconds.

immediately--

"Wow!!"

The ecstasy of surviving the ordeal and the cathartic cries and shouts erupted instantly, filling the entire carriage.

"We're saved! We're really saved!"

"Open the door, open the door quickly!"

"Move your things away quickly!"

The joy of escaping death and the strong will to survive overwhelmed the sadness and fear, and the atmosphere inside the car suddenly relaxed.

The boys reacted the fastest, practically tumbling and crawling towards the pile of backpacks blocking the door, frantically rummaging through them and throwing them aside.

Several girls, who had previously learned that their families were safe and had now escaped, whispered among themselves, tears streaming down their faces, "He...he doesn't seem as fierce as he appears in the video. He's really handsome. If only I were him..."

"What are you muttering about! Quick! Move your things aside, get off the bus, and be careful not to crowd, hurry!"

Teacher Li and Teacher Zhang were so excited that their voices trembled, and they quickly helped the students clear the passage and maintain order.

The car door was finally opened with difficulty, just enough to create a small gap.

The students scrambled out of the bus to breathe in the relatively fresh air outside. Many of them collapsed to the ground because their legs gave way, but were quickly pulled up by their companions.

"Hurry up, don't stop here, don't worry about me, just run!"

"Escape to Hung Fook Restaurant, someone's there to meet you! Move quickly!"

"Anyone who's dragging their feet and doesn't want to leave, then don't leave at all!"

Lin Yi's voice rang out again, but this time it was not only much sterner than before, but also carried a clear urging tone.

He didn't even look back at the rescued people, but gripped his long stick tightly, watching warily in the direction of the abyss beast's lair.
