Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 482 - 477: The Final Match (Part 4)
"Here you go..." The Superpower Teacher dragged the Mutant Tiger aside, calling down to the students on the slope, apparently forgetting that he couldn’t help the students complete their tasks.
Such a good opportunity, how could the students at Anhe Middle School miss it?
The six quickly emerged from their cover, leaping down the slope like eagles hunting, charging toward the Mutant Tiger.
"That’s our tiger—"
You Le retorted directly, "Did it have your name on it?"
The students from Puhuang First Middle School turned green with anger and looked at the Superpower Teacher beside them, "They’re cheating."
The Superpower Teacher, while controlling the Mutant Tiger, explained, "In competitions, there will be overlapping task objectives, requiring each of you to rely on your own abilities."
The students from Puhuang First Middle School were unwilling, glaring angrily, but the strongest female student from the other school had already taken a defensive stance.
If they dared to go forward to seize the Mutant Tiger, they would certainly face a painful retaliation.
They might not necessarily lose in a fight, but with tight deadlines and heavy tasks, they didn’t have time to engage in a scuffle with another school.
Especially since the students from Anhe Middle School were not weak in their abilities.
The leading student from Puhuang First Middle School held back the students who wanted to go forward, reminding them, "Time is tight, let’s complete the tasks first, we’ll settle scores with them later."
The others could only swallow their frustration for now and focus on the task at hand.
Their task was to collect the claws from the Mutant Tiger.
The difficulty was similar to Anhe Middle School’s task.
While they were struggling, things were going much more smoothly for Anhe Middle School’s team.
Bai Xiaotang made use of the plant liquid she had collected. Just a bit of it on a harpoon brought the Mutant Tiger down.
This venom would be fatal to humans but only paralyzed the Mutant Tiger, making it unable to move.
The team immediately picked up scissors and surrounded the Mutant Tiger, trimming its fur, almost shaving its back bald.
The Mutant Tiger lying on the ground could only look at them pitifully as they had their way with it, not even having the strength to roar.
The Superpower Teacher watched from the side, feeling sorry for the Mutant Tiger.
Once Anhe Middle School finished their task, You Le said to the six students still trying to approach the Mutant Tiger from not far away, "Hey, this one’s yours, take it, no thanks needed~"
The students were momentarily stunned, turning to look at the motionless Mutant Tiger on the ground, feeling perplexed:
Was it killed by the students from Anhe Middle School?
"Let’s go, take a look——"
Afterwards, the students from Puhuang First Middle School took advantage of the situation, not bothered about the grudge of losing the tiger to You Le and the others.
One of the students even sighed, "Such excellent opponents as Anhe Middle School, please bring us more."
...
On the other side.
The six-person team from Anhe Middle School set off again, following the Superpower Teacher towards the S-Class task area.
The Superpower Teacher, unable to keep up with the students’ wild imaginations, chose a relatively safe route.
The scenery along the way was still picturesque, but suddenly a torrential rain began to fall halfway.
To simulate the rainforest climate, the downpour almost pierced through the shrubbery, and the road ahead quickly turned into a creek, soon covering the tops of their shoes.
They had to find a high ground to set up tents to shelter from the rain.
Through the tent fabric, everyone still felt the icy cold emanating from the ground, but unable to light a fire inside the tent, they could only huddle together for warmth.
Fortunately, they wore professional rainforest protective clothing that was waterproof, moisture-proof, and insect-proof, preventing them from catching a cold in such extreme weather.
Bai Xiaotang lifted the shading fabric inside the tent to admire the rain scenery outside.
The lush green plants looked even more vibrant under the rain’s wash.
The rainwater from the slope gradually gathered into a stream, washing away many branches and leaves that had fallen from the high slopes.
Among them was a bloody finger.
"Ah... Look over there, there’s blood..." Bai Xiaotang exclaimed.
Lin Yuanyang was the first to look over, immediately getting up, his voice very composed, "It might be a task clue."
Everyone braved the rain and ran towards the base of the slope.
The bloody finger looked realistic, almost indistinguishable from a real one at first glance.
With a serious expression, Lin Yuanyang picked up two sticks from nearby and used them to pick up the finger and place it into a transparent sealed bag.
"Judging from the finger’s wound, it looks like it was gnawed by some rodent-like animal. Since this is a rainforest and the animals that live in this environment include spiny rats and capybaras. If it’s a spiny rat, everyone should never touch this finger, the spiny rat’s fur contains poison, and they like to smear plant toxins on themselves."
Everyone inhaled sharply.
"Search further up and see if there are any more such remains."
The six-person team spread out automatically without needing the Superpower Teacher’s reminder, starting to gather clues along the way.
The Superpower Teacher suddenly felt a bit empty.
This part-time job seemed too easy; would the committee dock his pay?
While lost in thought, the six-person team discovered more remains and tissues suspected of being gnawed.
"Come quickly, there’s a cave here——"
Lin Yuanyang was the first to find the cave hidden behind the vegetation.
There was a faint electromagnetic wave here.
The Superpower Teacher was astonished that they managed to find the cave clues so smoothly.
This cave was camouflaged extremely well; even he didn’t notice it on his first visit.
This boy had something unique.
The Superpower Teacher secretly observed Lin Yuanyang for a while before starting to progress the storyline, reciting his NPC lines.
"This cave seems to be artificial; it’s very damp inside, and the air might contain poisonous marsh gas. Brave warriors, you should be extra cautious..." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Before he could finish, the six students had already silently taken gas masks from their bags and skillfully put them on.
One student even asked him if he needed one.
Superpower Teacher:...
The group continued forward, discovering more key clues.
There was a large laboratory here, but it had been abandoned for a long time, with wild grass and moist moss growing everywhere.
There were also some mushrooms growing out of the peeling corners.
The air was filled with a moldy smell that could easily cause fainting if inhaled for too long.
The six cautiously explored the area.
Suddenly, a voice called out from another room from You Le: "Lin Yuanyang, come quickly and see if this Smart Brain can still be used?"
The Superpower Teacher felt a jolt in his heart.
Lin Yuanyang quickly approached. His spiritual power scanned the entire Smart Brain, a gleam flashing in his eyes.
"It should be usable, help me find the power cable."
At the sound of his voice, everyone began rummaging through the room.
Finally, they found a toolbox full of cables under a heavy table.
Lin Yuanyang skillfully unraveled the cable bundle and connected the power to the Smart Brain’s screen.
The whole process took less than 5 minutes, and the Superpower Teacher glanced at Lin Yuanyang a few more times.
Internally complaining: This was supposed to be a long scene of the storyline, and he skipped it so effortlessly?
...
Lin Yuanyang adeptly accessed the Smart Brain, typing away until he reached the Smart Brain’s program interface.
The Superpower Teacher stared blankly at the unfamiliar string of code on the screen, feeling alarmed again.
Is this part not in the script?
Why has it turned into code?
Suddenly——
The damp, dark laboratory lit up.
The glaring light caused everyone to squint momentarily.
Then Lin Yuanyang said, "The task target is in C3 Zone, and we are currently in A2 Zone; we need to pass through the room with mutant corpses to rescue her..."
