Chapter 55 A Loving Hug
"Master Wei, please don't worry about me. Just let me stay here with my son," the middle-aged man said dejectedly.
"Bullshit! We went to such great lengths to rescue you, just to let you sit here and wait to die? If you really stay here to die, is that what your son wants to see? If you're still a man, pull yourself together and try to live!" Leng Chen grabbed the middle-aged man by the collar and shouted angrily.
Perhaps moved by Leng Chen's words, the middle-aged man wiped away his tears and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you. Please cremate my son. I want to take his ashes away from here."
After this incident, Jiang Han, Leng Chen, and the others successfully rescued more than a dozen surviving students. They also learned from them that the teacher had instructed the surviving students to gather at the school's gymnasium. Jiang Han instructed Leng Chen to send fifteen team members to escort them to the gymnasium, while he and a few other stronger members continued searching the other teaching buildings.
The fifth patrol team consists of twenty-four people. Apart from the captain, Leng Chen, and the vice-captain, Yun Meng, who are both intermediate-level mages, the rest of the members are all beginner-level mages. However, they are all quite strong and are very proficient in using first and second-level magic, far surpassing the students in the school who are like hothouse flowers.
Jiang Han, along with Leng Chen, Yun Meng, and the others, continued searching the remaining teaching buildings. As Jiang Han killed more and more demons, his system points once again exceeded 1,000. However, he did not exchange them for any cultivation space enhancement cards, but instead saved them up.
After searching the remaining teaching buildings, Jiang Han, Leng Chen, and their team found more than 20 people, including one member who was slightly injured. If Jiang Han hadn't reacted quickly, that member would probably have died on the spot.
"We've finally finished searching these school buildings. Let's go, take them to the gymnasium."
"Um."
Jiang Han waved to Leng Chen and the others, signaling them to take the rescued students with him. During this mission, Leng Chen, Yun Meng, and the others had grown to admire Jiang Han more and more. He was someone that Zhan Kong, the leader, valued, and was exceptionally strong and capable in terms of coordination.
When Jiang Han, along with Leng Chen, Yun Meng, and others, brought the rescued students to the entrance of the gymnasium.
With a rumble, the once noisy gymnasium fell silent as soon as the doors were pushed open. The surviving students inside and the mage sent by Leng Chen to escort them all looked over at the same time.
"It's Master Wei's men! The military reinforcements have finally arrived! We're finally safe!"
"Waaaaah, I'm finally not going to die! I'm finally not going to die!!!"
"Jiang Han? Why is he with Master Wei's reinforcements? Could it be that he was just rescued?"
"Pah, don't compare your pathetic skills to my idol's. You're not good enough yourself, yet you have the nerve to criticize others."
"Heh, who knows? Even if he was rescued, would you know? I really don't know what's so great about Jiang Han that makes you girls swooning over him all the time."
"How dare you talk to us like that? You should take a look in the mirror. You have neither talent nor good looks. What do you have to compare with my idol?"
"······"
While the students were discussing among themselves, fifteen guards led by Qi Ming ran up to Leng Chen, Yun Meng, and the others, stood at attention, and then respectfully saluted.
"Reporting to the captain and vice-captain, all seventeen trainees have been safely transported to the gymnasium without any injuries," Qi Ming said solemnly.
Leng Chen returned the salute and said, "Alright, get back to your unit."
"yes!!"
After Qi Ming and others returned to the team, teachers Xue Musheng, Chen Weiliang, and Tang Yue, who arrived later, came over at the same time.
Xue Musheng extended his hand and said with a smile, "Hello, I am Xue Musheng, a teacher of the elite class at Tianlan Magic High School. Thank you for coming to our Tianlan Magic High School under these circumstances."
"Hello, I'm Leng Chen, the captain of the fifth patrol team at Xuefeng Mountain Station. After receiving Bocheng's distress call, Boss Zhan Kong sent us here to provide support, but it's mainly Brother Jiang Han who's in charge." Leng Chen smiled and extended his hand, symbolically shaking hands with Xue Musheng.
"Yun Meng, the deputy captain of the fifth patrol squad," Yun Meng said calmly.
After Jiang Han approached Tang Yue, he stretched out his arms and hugged her, saying, "Teacher Tang Yue, give me a loving hug."
In Jiang Han's memory, Tang Yue disappeared during the Bo City disaster in the original story, and reappeared in Song City. Jiang Han never expected to encounter Tang Yue again at Tianlan Magic High School; perhaps this was the butterfly effect of Jiang Han leaving Tang Yue behind.
Tang Yue raised her hand to block him, and said irritably, "You brat, what are you doing? What do you want a hug for?"
"No, I want a hug, I want to be lifted up high, and I want to..."
"Get lost! If you flirt with me again, I'll turn on you!"
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. By the way, Teacher Tang Yue, when did you come to the school? Didn't I tell you and that old man Mu Zhuoyun to notify the Magic Association and the Hunter Alliance? You didn't forget to notify them, did you?" Jiang Han put away his cheeky expression and turned to shock at the end.
"You brat, do you think I'm that kind of person? I came to the school as soon as I notified the Magic Association. As a teacher, I can't just leave my students here unattended," Tang Yue said, tapping Jiang Han's head with her finger.
"Yes, yes, yes, Teacher Tang Yue, you're the best!" Jiang Han said with a smile.
Just as Jiang Han was talking to Tang Yue, a snow-white figure darted into Jiang Han's arms. When Jiang Han reacted, he recognized what had jumped into his arms—it was his little fox, Xue Ling.
"Oh, little fox, come let your big sister hug you." Tang Yue reached out and took Xue Ling from Jiang Han's arms. She hadn't seen Xue Ling for a long time and missed the fluffy little guy.
As Xue Ling rushed over, Ye Xinxia maneuvered her wheelchair over. Reaching Jiang Han, she choked back tears and said, "Brother Jiang Han, I'm so glad you're alright."
"Okay, okay, don't cry. It was my fault this time for not telling you beforehand. If you're angry, you can hit me." Jiang Han squatted down and hugged Ye Xinxia to comfort her.
"Xinxia, I knew it! Jiang Han would be fine." Mo Fan walked over and teased with a smile.
Jiang Han said calmly, "What, you have a problem with Xin Xia worrying about me?"
"No objection." Mo Fan waved his hand to indicate that he had no objection to this matter. After all, even if he had an objection, he could only keep it to himself. If he said it on the spot, Jiang Han might not care, but he would probably be embarrassed.
"Alright, let's not talk about anything else. Are these the only people who survived from the school?" Jiang Han asked疑惑地问道.
"Yes, the school used to have over a thousand students, but now only a couple hundred are left in the gymnasium." Mo Fan sighed helplessly.
Teachers Xue Musheng and Chen Weiliang, along with Leng Chen, began discussing how to settle the hundreds of students. If they continued to wait here until all the demons gathered at Tianlan Magic High School, they would be unable to stop them and would only be waiting to die.
"Sigh, how could Bo City be under a bloody alert? With the city on the verge of collapse, where can we possibly hide?"
"Yes, where should we hide?"
"·····"
Leng Chen and Yun Meng remained silent throughout, listening to Xue Musheng and the other teachers argue.
Finally, Yunmeng couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Isn't there a safety barrier in Bocheng? Why don't we just hide there?"
