In a group of over fifty people, there were only two individuals blessed with white energy. With Li Hong Wei’s protection, Zhao Yu and his classmates really stand a higher chances of survival compared to others.
After all, they were much luckier than those classes without any enhancer.
“Thank you, Brother Wei…”
Wang Zi Jun was the first in expressing his gratitude.
The other two followed suit in offering their thanks.
Zhao Yu noticed their ulterior motives; it was just the vanity of young people, wasn’t it?
He also called out as well after them.
Li Hong Wei was full of satisfaction, pleased with his achievement of becoming the leader of this small group.
While they were waiting for order, more and more people came down from the building. In a short while, over four hundred male students gathered. The expedition team was mostly formed by boys, with a minority of thirty girls.
Xiao Xiao Long has the largest group people. Before head out for the mission, many surrounded him and flattered him continuously, which he was responding with many pleasantries.
Li Hong Wei felt envious, his eyes betraying a hint of jealousy as he muttered under his breath.
In the front row, the director counted the number of people and confirmed everyone was present before starting the allocation.
Basically, each team had at least two members who had absorbed white energy.
Eight teams, lead by 16 powerful individuals.
Any extra people will be joining Xiao Xiao Long’s team, and the other joined a girl named Deng Xue Ling’s team.
Deng Xue Ling was rumored to be a skillful fighter. Before her strength enhanced by the white energy, she managed to kill two of the five monsters at the back door by herself.
Teaming up with Li Hong Wei was a senior from the second year, named Zhou Hai Sheng, from Class 3 of the Film and Television Editing Department.
Besides their two classes, seven other classes without any powerful individuals joined their team.
Thus, each team had people from nine classes, making up 54 people per team, and a total of 432 people for eight teams.
Now, it was time to choose the exploration directions.
The principle was placing Xiao Xiao Long’s team with towards the front gate and Deng Xue Ling’s towards the back gate.
Without a compass, they could only use the teaching building as a coordinate for venturing out.
Both the front and back gate directions posed a greater risk of danger.
The remaining six teams were randomly assigned by dice. Li Hong Wei and Zhou Hai Sheng’s team was to the right of the front and back gates of the teaching building.
Xiao Xiao Long’s team was named Team One. Going right from there, Li Hong Wei and Zhou Hai Sheng’s team was Team Three, and Deng Xue Ling’s in the back gate direction was Team Five, completing the circle with eight teams in eight directions.
Then, the principle gathered the leaders of the teams together.
“It’s 10:30 AM now. You all should walk in your respective directions for an hour. If you find anything, you can return earlier…”
“Also, if you encounter danger that you can’t handle, retreat immediately…”
“This expedition primarily focuses on exploring the terrain, searching for water resources and food…”
“Of course, if you encounter other humans, you can try to communicate without exposing our current location…”
These matters had been discussed in advance by the leadership. Li Hong Wei and others were aware of them. It didn’t take long before everyone returned to their respective teams.
Li Hong Wei and Zhou Hai Sheng briefed their team about the mission and the schedule.
Then, the bald director said a few more words for formality, and everyone dispersed, heading in the eight designated directions.
In the teaching building, all the classroom windows were crowded with people.
“You must come back!”
“Return safely!”
“Triumphant return!”
The members of the eight teams felt a sense of pride, believing they were doing something great.
In Class 13 of Art, Huo Li Juan had some regrets, “Ah, if I had known girls were going down, I would have followed…”
“Why didn’t you say that when Li Hong Wei was here? You even encouraged Wang Zi Jun to go…” Liu Shu Hui mocked her.
“Hmph!”
Huo Li Juan gave a cold laugh, “What do you know? The consciousness of us as eighth-class citizens is something you can’t understand!”
Liu Shu Hui retorted in frustration, “That’s all you can say! Without action, it was just words.”
“We’re not familiar with each other, so I won’t give random orders. Let’s stand by our side…”
Li Hongwei and Zhou Hai Sheng discussed and arranged the positions of the nine classes according to their locations.
Their classes naturally had advantageous positions, able to attack and defend.
The other classes had no choice but to accept it, as the bald director had declared before departure that Team Three would be led by Li Hong Wei and Zhou Hai Sheng.
“Once we all enter the forest, let’s try not to talk and be cautious not to make any loud sound that might draw the monsters…”
Li Hong Wei and Zhou Hai Sheng gave a few more instructions, enjoying their moment of leadership, before announcing the departure.
Zhao Yu followed behind Li Hong Wei and Cao Ji Ji, with Wang Zi Jun beside him, and Huang Xian Ming and Hua Jie followed behind.
The six of them formed a two-two-two formation, similar to the other classes.
The 54 people, although very careful not to talk much, still made quite a noise while walking in the forest.
The main reason was the dry wood in the forest, which creaked underfoot and lack in light source for vision.
However, no one backed down and kept moving forward.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, besides birds and small animals, they didn’t encounter any danger, and someone started to let their guard down.
“How come there are no monsters yet? I’m still waiting for them to show up and eliminated them like Brother Wei!” Wang Zi Jun got a bit carried away and raised his voice volume in the middle of the jungle..
