Chapter 464 - 464: The Situation of the Eight Teams! (1)
“They are back now!!!”
Huo Li Juan walked up to them excitedly when she saw the crowd walking toward them.
“1, 2, 3.9 people?!”
She was also a little shocked. The first wave of people who came back said that Li Hong Wei and the others had continued to move forward. There were a total of 18 people, and now there were only nine left. Could it be that the others were all dead?
“We are back…”
The group let out a long sigh of relief. Only upon reaching their classroom and seeing their classmates did they feel safe again.
The short span of over an hour had felt like a journey to hell, where life and death were not in their hands.
“Where’s Cao Ji Ji?!”
Liu Si Yu asked in surprise, not having forgotten her private conflict with Huo Li Juan.
“Cao Ji Ji is gone…” Li Hong Wei said with a pained expression. “I couldn’t protect him…”
Liu Si Yu scanned the crowd and realized that only three people remained: Li Hongwei, Wang Zi Jun, and surprisingly, Zhao Yu.
She approached Zhao Yu incredulously, “Cao Ji Ji is dead, how come you’re still alive?!”
Zhao Yu rolled his eyes, uninterested in engaging with her like the boy who lost a loved one.
Wang Zi Jun quickly pulled Liu Si Yu aside.
Zhao Yu wasn’t the same as before; he was now a five-times enhancer.
Before he could say more, Huo Li Juan excitedly grabbed his arm.
“Quick, our class hero, everyone is waiting for you!”
“Ah? Wait, what about Li Hong Wei and Zhao Yu…” Wang Zi Jun thought it was a welcome ceremony organized by the class.
Huo Li Juan laughed, “It’s fine, they need to report to the teachers. You will come with me to the classroom…”
As she spoke, she gave a provocative look at Liu Si Yu.
Liu Si Yu turned away, not wanting to see Huo Li Juan’s triumphant expression.
She cursed Cao Ji Ji in her mind for dying so quickly.
Why couldn’t Cao Ji Ji be the enhancer instead of Wang Zi Jun?
Now, Huo Li Juan might boast in front of her for a long time.
The principle along with a group of teachers and students, hurried over upon receiving the news.
“Students, you’ve worked hard…”
“Let’s go back to the classroom and rest. Li HongWei, can you tell me about your exploration outside?”
Zhao Yu had previously discussed these kinds of negotiations with Li Hong Wei, suggesting he should handle them.
Li Hong Wei was more than willing, quickly following the principle as the leader of the third team.
Zhao Yu and the others returned to their respective classes.
Before dispatched, the remaining students from the third team introduced themselves to Zhao Yu, expressing for future collaboration.
After a short interaction, Zhao Yu headed towards his class.
Liu Si Yu, who didn’t want to witness Huo Li Juan’s gloating and stayed behind witnessed the scene and could not understood why Zhao Yu was so well-liked.
As Zhao Yu walked towards the main entrance, he noticed that the Ape Claw Beast corpses, previously stored collectively, had been dissected by the students.
It seemed that other teams had also discovered that the bones of the Ape Claw Beasts made the best weapons.
“Hey, Huo Li Juan, slow down…”
Although Wang Zi Jun said that, he was feeling very happy in his heart.
He and Huo Li Juan had been childhood friends, growing up in the same neighborhood.
In high school, he started pursuing Huo Li Juan.
Unfortunately, she had never agreed, but he never gave up, believing that with their history, they would eventually end up together.
After all, who could boast a longer relationship than theirs?
However, being pulled by the wrist and running with Huo Li Juan like this was a first for him.
His heart raced a bit faster, thinking that this excursion had been surprisingly rewarding.
It seemed to have advanced his relationship with Huo Li Juan significantly.
Huo Li Juan didn’t think too much about it. She was focused on getting Wang Zi Jun to their class as quickly as possible.
Soon, they rushed to the second floor and entered Art Class 13.
“Bang!”
The classroom door burst open.
Everyone in the class looked up.
“Wang Zi Jun is back?!”
Before anyone could react, Huo Li Juan excitedly announced, “Classmates, our hero is back!!!”
The class erupted in cheers, with many standing up and applauding enthusiastically.
“Wang Zi Jun, well done!”
“Truly worthy of being a Level eight citizen!”
Listening to the praise from below, Wang Zi Jun felt elated, barely concealing his smile. He waved his hands modestly, pretending to be humble:
“Thank you, everyone, I just did what I had to do!”
Huo Li Juan, standing beside him, shared in the glory, her face beaming with a radiant smile.
She suddenly found that this man, whom she hadn’t paid much attention to before, wasn’t so bad after all.
Maybe she should give him a chance and see how things go?
After all, Wang Zi Jun was now a enhancer!
Many had gathered around Wang Zi Jun, bustling with questions about their expedition.
Wang Zi Jun, unaccustomed to such attention, felt secretly thrilled and began to embellish their exploration story.
At the same time, Zhao Yu entered the classroom and headed straight to the back of the room.
“Yo, how come you didn’t die out there?!” Liu Shu Hui noticed Zhao Yu’s return, sighing with relief but still taunting him as usual..
