Chapter 23: Gray Infant Angels Attack

With a loud, urgent siren, the guards on the wall were the first to spot the Gray Infant Angels and respond.

It was not their fault they were usually lazy and suddenly turned so sharp. The Gray Infant Angels had been circling for too long. Ignoring them was impossible.

If it had been deep night, when everyone was asleep and darkness offered cover, the attack might have gone unnoticed. But now…

“Damn!” Zhao Zirou snorted and moved to get her weapon from the vehicle. You Wende felt slapped in the face. Angry and anxious, he shouted to the teachers nearby.

“Quick, get the students into the buildings!”

Right now the teachers and students were all on the square preparing to cook, an easy buffet for the Gray Infant Angels.

Gu Qianqian finally understood why the base had been attacked by monsters in her previous life and suffered heavy losses. With this level of vigilance, even her grandmother would have done better.

A bunch of ‘genius’ teachers and captains, getting off the vehicles and setting up open-air classes and cooking, were they not live targets for the Gray Infant Angels?

As the automatic firearms on the wall opened fire and the guards shot with their magic-energy guns, the square fell silent for a moment. Then panic erupted.

“Run! Run!”

“The monsters are killing people, run!”

Some reacted quickly and ran toward the nearest buildings. “Help, help me…” Others’ legs gave out before the monsters even reached them, and they cried for help.

The crowd fell into chaos. Most of the students had never experienced anything like this and could no longer be controlled by the teachers’ shouts.

They had seen it. The Gray Infant Angels relied on flight, and the automatic firearms on the wall could hardly angle high enough to hit them. The bullets almost all missed.

When the guards’ magic-energy guns fired magic-energy bullets and hit a few Gray Infant Angels, blood sprayed and only stirred their ferocity. Several Gray Infant Angels dove down, clawing guards before they could aim or shoving them off the wall.

More Gray Infant Angels simply flew over the wall’s fire net and headed for the square.

In a situation like this, if you did not run, were you waiting to die?!

The surrounding buildings had many automatic firearms and guards holding magic-energy guns. But there were too many students on the square now. Firing blindly could cause an even more terrible outcome, so for a moment they held back.

You Wende could not save every student. Shouting orders, he could only organize the guards with melee weapons to prepare for battle. The lead teachers tried to gather the students and move them into safer buildings.

“Don’t panic! Don’t scatter!”

“Follow my orders! Help up the students who fell!”

“With your teachers here, you will not be hurt!”

Gu Qianqian knew this scene would happen. She even knew monsters might attack again at night. But even with foreknowledge, being there in person, she still felt fear and terror. That was only human.

Following the panicked crowd, Gu Qianqian thankfully remembered the female lead’s plan. She ignored Xu Ming’s shouts and ran straight with some students toward the warehouse doors where the vehicles were parked.

“Gu Qianqian!”

“Come back!”

“Don’t go over there, your teacher is here!”

Then Xu Ming’s words changed. “Damn it! Run inside! Hide in the warehouse and do not come out!”

Shouts, cries for help, curses, and shoving were everywhere. Gu Qianqian had now seen what a disaster looked like. How to put it? Tense and thrilling.

But with her small arms and legs, running was truly exhausting. She usually spent her time bullying the female lead and hardly exercised. Not only had she not grown taller, she did not even have the strength to run.

If she made it out alive this time, she had to exercise properly!

As she thought this, some people ran faster than the students. They were the base guards and school security. When something unexpected happened, they had to react too.

Because there had been no warning, and the base was expecting this supply run, many guards had no magic-energy guns or magic crystals on them. Now, as they rushed toward the warehouse alongside Gu Qianqian and the others, someone shouted:

“Quick, open all the logistics vehicles!”

“Magic crystals! Get out the magic-energy guns!”

“Any armor?”

“Damn it, who has time to put that on now?!”

“What about the magic crystal cannons?!”

“How are we supposed to fire those? Do you want to blow up the students?!”

“Melee weapons are best! When the Gray Infant Angels attack, they will land. We hit them then!”

Amid curses and anxious shouts, the logistics vehicles were opened one by one. Guards rushed out of the warehouse with magic-energy guns and all kinds of melee weapons.

Gu Qianqian looked back. The Gray Infant Angels had already crossed the wall and reached the square, diving down to attack. Many students had escaped, but plenty of slower ones were still within the attack range.

Gu Qianqian could not help but feel grateful she knew the crazy female lead’s plan and had moved this way in advance. Otherwise, she would definitely be in danger too.

Still, the Gray Infant Angels looked terrifying, but the panic and fear they caused were the most lethal part. As for the monsters themselves, once the teachers and guards reacted and organized a counterattack, they could hardly hurt the students.

Until now, no one had died. Only a few guards and students were injured.

At the same time, Lin Feiyu, who had deliberately been searching the crowd for Yu Ni and Quan Anrong, suddenly picked her direction and ran at them from the side, colliding with the two.

“Get lost!”

“Out of the way!”

In the crisis, Yu Ni and Quan Anrong did not have time to see who had bumped into them. They kicked and shoved Lin Feiyu away. After all, in their desperation to survive, they had already knocked over and kicked aside countless classmates along the way. One more made no difference. They could not be bothered to see who the unlucky one was.

Seizing the moment, Lin Feiyu quickly stuffed a glass bottle into Quan Anrong’s pocket. In her previous life, she could not have done this. But after being reborn, Lin Feiyu completed the step with ease.

No one saw it. Everyone was either fleeing in panic or fighting monsters. Who had the attention to watch Lin Feiyu’s movements?

After finishing this, Lin Feiyu was in no hurry. She deliberately pretended to be knocked down and fell behind the crowd. The smell of crying-stem grass juice she had intentionally left on her clothes spread instantly.

At such a close distance, almost all the Gray Infant Angels fixed their eyes on Lin Feiyu and screamed as they charged at her.

“What?!”

“What are these monsters doing?!”

“They are flying over there!”

“Stop them…”

“It is Lin Feiyu! Those monsters, damn it, why are they after her?”

To keep hiding her strength, Lin Feiyu did not fight back at all. She screamed like a terrified student and ran for her life. Xu Ming saw this, abandoned the other students, grabbed an iron rod, and charged toward Lin Feiyu.

At the same time, Gray Infant Angels lunged at Lin Feiyu one after another. Their sharp claws, fangs covered in bacteria and poison, and mouths that could spit deadly poison all came at her in turn.

The Gray Infant Angels’ harsh howls and hunting cries were also a mental attack. Up close, the sound could make a person’s ears ring, their head spin, and their stomach churn.

But Lin Feiyu was experienced against these monsters. In her previous life, she had faced them countless times and killed just as many.

As long as she watched the monsters’ shadows on the ground under the lights and listened for the sharp whistle of something approaching fast, she could change direction or roll aside to dodge without even looking back.

To outsiders, though, her supposed composure looked like desperate stumbling and lucky survival.

Zu Xingyu, who had already hidden inside a building, saw this and immediately cursed at the guards and students beside him:

“Quick, go save them!”

“Are you deaf? Go! If anything happens to Feiyu, I will bury you with her!”

“Young master…” one guard said quietly, “we are only responsible for protecting you. The family head gave orders. Everyone else…”

The meaning was obvious. Zu Xingyu slapped him backhanded. His vicious expression made the surrounding students feel as if they were seeing him angry for the first time.

Many girls loved and hated it. They loved the Zu family young master’s look of anger for love. They hated that the one he loved was not them, but that damned Lin Feiyu.

Unfortunately, no matter how anxious Zu Xingyu was, he would not risk his life to rush out and save anyone. Compared to Lin Feiyu, he valued his own life more. He simply hid it well most of the time.

But the lovesick female students, influenced by the male lead’s aura, could not see this. They watched Lin Feiyu dodge the monsters’ attacks in a sorry state and silently cursed her: ‘Die! Die quickly! Lin Feiyu, you deserve to die at these monsters’ hands, to be ripped open! Then we will see if Zu Xingyu still likes you!’

As for Lin Feiyu herself, she dodged attack after attack and avoided the people trying to rescue her. She led the monsters in circles around the square, driving students toward the warehouse and drawing more guards away from it.

All of this was to create an opportunity for Gu Qianqian. Do not disappoint me, Gu Qianqian. If you fail the mission, tonight I will let you taste the pain of having a leg eaten by a Gray Infant Angel!
