Chapter 48: Your Problem Is Serious
Meanwhile...
In the conference room, only a few key leaders and Tang Zichen remained. Other teachers had been asked to leave by the vice principal.
"Tang Zichen, some crucial matters need to be addressed next, entrusted to me by higher-ups," the vice principal said, his expression turning serious. "Normally, these matters should be addressed by the principal himself, but the principal is still supporting the front line and cannot return temporarily."
Tang Zichen remained calm upon hearing this, her pretty face still and curious as she asked, "Principal, how's the situation in Mo City?"
"It's almost stabilized!" The vice principal's expression turned pleased. "Under Mrs. Qin's suppression, the monster tide has been largely controlled. Now, we are rebuilding the city wall. If everything goes smoothly, it will be completed in two months. By then, the principal will be able to return, and we can move back to Mo City."
Although the vice principal said this with a smile, Tang Zichen couldn't shake the feeling that his smile seemed somewhat forced.
Well, if Principal Lu is out of the picture, wouldn't he smoothly ascend and drop the "vice"?
"Mrs. Qin is truly formidable. It is said that ten days ago, she made a breakthrough again. She attracted a meteorite from outer space, directly smashing tens of thousands of monsters, decisively stabilizing the situation."
"This kind of method is no different from the legendary immortal techniques. She truly deserves to be the stabilizing force of our Xia Country!"
As the vice principal spoke, he looked at Tang Zichen with eager anticipation. "Tang Zichen, you are more outstanding than Mrs. Qin at the same age. I believe in you. As long as you avoid making mistakes in the upcoming adventures, your future achievements will surely rival Mrs. Qin's."
This statement was quite suggestive!
What does "avoid making mistakes" mean?
Is teaming up with Chen Ye considered a mistake?
Heh...
Tang Zichen could clearly discern the vice principal's implication. She chose not to respond and said, "Principal, feel free to ask whatever you want."
For a student, not responding to the vice principal would be considered impolite.
However, the vice principal didn't mind at all.
Even for Wu University as a whole, students like Tang Zichen were treasures. They were so cherished that they couldn't afford to have any objections.
"It's like this, Tang Zichen. Have you encountered hostility from new students of other countries during this adventure?"
"Yes," Tang Zichen replied without any concealment. "There were over a hundred new students from various countries who tried to ambush me and Chen Ye in the adventure. Of course, their main target was me, and Chen Ye was implicated because of me."
Upon hearing this, even though they knew Tang Zichen had already escaped danger, the school leaders were still infuriated.
"They actually dared to attack in the adventure!"
"These shameless individuals, they are blatantly violating the Adventure Covenant!"
The leaders raged one after another, their faces full of indignation.
This wasn't just a pretense.
If Tang Zichen had died in the first adventure, these school leaders would all face consequences and have their futures affected.
The vice principal asked, "So, how did you escape?"
"It's a long story. It's better for you all to watch the video!" Tang Zichen stood up, connected her phone to the projector in the conference room, and played the video.
The video was, of course, filmed by Chen Ye.
Back then, in the adventure, he was confident that he and Tang Zichen wouldn't die. He made sure to kill those little Karlamis cleanly to prevent triggering an international dispute and deliberately recorded the video as evidence.
Now it came in handy.
As the video played, the initial footage showed a group of people surrounding Chen Ye and Tang Zichen.
As the camera turned, the school leaders could clearly see those people, with black, white, yellow, brown... various races, obviously from different countries.
And each person's face showed undisguised hostility!
Even fools could tell that these people meant trouble.
A young man from Japan laughed recklessly into the camera, "I know you. I heard that you matched a C-class hero during the live broadcast? I admire your courage... Are you planning to keep this video as evidence by recording us with your phone?"
"Only if you get out alive, can the video in your hands be used as evidence. Unfortunately, you're about to be buried here with your girlfriend."
Then, Tang Zichen's voice rang out, "Are you here for me?"
The Japanese youth admitted without care, "That's right, each team here represents a country. Just like us, they all don't want another Mrs. Qin from your Xia Country!"
Seeing this, the school leaders were already full of anger.
Bang!
The Dean couldn't help it first, slamming his palm heavily on the table and cursing loudly, "These beasts, shameless! They deserve death!!"
The vice principal remained composed, his expression serious. "Let's watch the video first. We'll deal with the emotions later."
As soon as he spoke, others naturally wouldn't have objections and suppressed their anger, patiently watching the video.
The video continued playing.
Soon, Tang Zichen's voice rang out again, "My companion is innocent. Can you let him go first?"
After being refused, Tang Zichen whispered again, "Chen Ye, when the time comes, run towards the left without looking back. I'll try to hold them off as much as I can to buy you some time!"
Upon hearing Tang Zichen's words, the faces of the school leaders became even more serious than before!!
A girl who, at a critical moment risking her life, allowed a boy to run first, isn't this enough to illustrate the situation?
The vice principal and the dean exchanged a glance, seeing the seriousness of the situation in each other's eyes.
The thing they were most worried about seemed to have happened...
...
Soon enough, the video reached the scene where Lee Jae Yong stepped forward.
The subsequent development left all the school leaders stunned, unable to believe it.
Lee Jae Yong.
He turned out to be the brother of Lee Jong Hyuk, who committed heinous crimes years ago...
It should be noted that the Adventure Covenant was established by multiple countries precisely because of Lee Jong Hyuk's actions, which had a huge impact.
The most important point of the treaty was also to prohibit new students from various countries from killing each other in the adventure.
Then.
Lee Jae Yong took out the decayed heart, leading to the appearance of evolved zombies, and began to slaughter indiscriminately.
The video also ended here.
Tang Zichen's voice came at an opportune moment, "The situation was critical at the time, and Chen Ye and I took advantage of the chaos to escape. We don't know what happened next."
This was the explanation that Chen Ye and she had agreed upon.
The more they said, the more loopholes there were.
The best explanation was to claim ignorance of everything!
Upon hearing Tang Zichen's words, the school leaders still looked shocked.
Lee Jae Yong's variable was something they never could have imagined.
The appearance of evolved zombies made it even more unbelievable.
The whereabouts of the evolved zombies had been unknown for years.
Everyone believed they had been erased by the adventure.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, those creatures had still been existing in the first adventure, dormant.
Although the evolved zombies were nothing in front of these school leaders, they could easily subdue them.
However.
For new students who had just acquired hero talents, such monsters were definitely nightmares that were hard to match!
It was already a great fortune for Tang Zichen to escape.
Now that the monster had awakened, wouldn't it be very dangerous for next year's new students?
"I didn't expect that the monster was still in the first adventure!"
The vice principal's expression was serious as he said, "This matter is very important. I need to report it immediately!"
