Wen Xishu said:
"I don’t really understand The Great Devour, so, principal, could you explain what might happen during it?"
Albert nodded:
"The Great Devour is divided into two stages. The first stage is when the Mutators appear, those who harbor great resentment... are likely to mutate due to the excessive negative energy brought by fate."
"If mutators are identified in time, they actually don’t pose much of a threat, but if they’re discovered too late and have devoured too many people around them..."
"Then that’s really bad, very bad... They will evolve very quickly, much faster than the ordinary species evolving into rare species that we know of."
In the Slaughter Tower, seeing rare species, the people in the room, especially the older ones, treated it like seeing ants.
But in the bunker, if a rare species appears, it’s undoubtedly a deadly weapon.
"The second stage is the Vortex Stage..."
"The arrival of the second stage doesn’t mean the first stage is over. The second stage will encompass the first stage."
"Vortexes will appear, and the scenes in the vortex are often similar to those in the Deceit Tower."
"Vortexes are also graded. With the help of the safe house, we can handle the first stage well."
"But for the second stage, we’ll need the assault team’s help."
"Remember one thing, the devour won’t end until the vortex disappears. We’re not sure if there’s a third stage..."
"So, confronting the vortex, everyone needs to fight actively, no matter how old you are or how high your position is."
"Furthermore, when vortexes appear, they don’t appear one by one. Many will appear at a time!"
Albert’s words were obviously pointed.
Evelyn sighed:
"Albert, we’re just old, not dead. We know what to do when facing a vortex."
Luo Feng snorted coldly:
"I just don’t like your attitude. Why are you laughing, Albert!"
Albert made a funny face:
"I just want to laugh."
This scene left everyone stunned. The old principal seemed to be in a good mood?
Wen Xishu could somewhat feel it...
Although the old principal was always complaining about the Elders, blaming them for losing their fighting spirit and messing up the bunker...
But despite this, he was still happy to fight alongside his old friends again.
This kind of happiness was hard to hide, and Wen Xishu clearly felt the joy in the old principal’s heart.
"Next, let’s start forming the teams. If a mutator appears during this process, the brothers from the Betting Association will handle it first, okay?"
It was Wen Xishu who spoke.
Atreus responded:
"No problem!"
Wen Xishu said:
"As for the Vortex Stage, since each vortex scene is equivalent to a climb in the Deceit Tower..."
"Then let’s form teams according to everyone’s habits. I hope each team leader has absolute decision-making power."
"Also, it’s best if each member is familiar with each other and can trust each other. Based on my past climbing experiences with the Deceit Tower... if you don’t trust your teammates, the process will only become extraordinarily complicated and difficult."
"I suggest having six members in each team."
Albert nodded:
"Alright, let’s start forming the teams now. Since you are the owner of the safe house, you have the highest priority in choosing your teammates. You can choose anyone in the room."
"Even if it’s me and the other old folks, it’s the same for you."
Teaming up with the Five Elders and the old principal? Oh boy... isn’t this lineup too extravagant?
Wen Xishu really wanted to give it a try, but such a top-notch configuration would lead to insufficient decision-making power on his part.
Would the Five Elders obediently listen? And... would the Five Elders think there’s something within them and take the opportunity to observe?
After thinking for a moment, Wen Xishu decided not to team up with such overwhelmingly powerful beings. Besides... he was the foremost figure in the Deceit Tower.
Wen Xishu said:
"I have an idea of who my teammates will be."
"Ah Miao, Xiaojin, Yue Yun, Nissen, Zheng Zai."
Albert said:
"No problem."
Xiaojin jumped up: "Wow! Brother Wen, we can fight side by side again! That’s great!"
Wen Xishu’s status changed too quickly, Yue Yun and Nissen were somewhat unable to adapt, but Xiaojin’s status was also very special, he didn’t see a halo over everyone’s head here.
Yue Yun said:
"Can we... do it?"
Nissen also stood up, normally fond of rapping, he was at a loss for words.
Wen Xishu had a feeling... that the two seemed to think they were now too distant from him, separated by a lamentable class barrier.
Wen Xishu said:
"We climbed together over fifty floors of the Slaughter Tower together. In my eyes, we are the best partners."
Wen Xishu patted Yue Yun on the shoulder.
Facing "Wenxun", Yue Yun always thought he could surpass him, never conceding to the other geniuses at the academy.
But Wen Xishu repeatedly shattered people’s perceptions. Deep down, Yue Yun felt... climbing the tower seemed especially simple for Wen Xishu.
That determination to surpass him... gradually faded away.
But Nissen’s thought process was different.
At first, Nissen felt the same as Yue Yun, thinking that Wen Xishu was now a big shot... teaming up with him felt inappropriate.
Am I worthy?
But Nissen had his own way of handling things.
He glanced at Wen Xishu’s pants pocket and then touched his own. Haha, he immediately felt confident:
"Bro! Since eliminating vortexes is our unshirkable duty, why not study with Wen Xishu? As long as we stay positive, our team is invincible! Yo~!"
