I’m A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Team Split

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone had been arguing in the hallway for over half an hour, yet no consensus was reached.

On the fifth floor, Ma Haibin and five others were holding their breath, waiting for the decision from upstairs.

They had also quietly discussed among themselves to leave this place and head to the police station.

It was clear that they could no longer remain in the dormitory, or rather, they couldn’t be with Du Gang.

Upstairs, after half an hour of squabbling, everyone paused again, awaiting Du Gang’s answer.

After pondering for a moment, Du Gang spoke up, “Everyone here probably wants to go home, right?!”

“Of course, I want to go home!”

“Indeed, who would want to stay here if we could go home!”

Even those who had proposed going to the police station or staying in the dormitory agreed unanimously.

“It would be best if we could reunite with our families…

Du Gang raised his hand to silence the chattering, and continued, “Everyone here wants to go home, but we are faced with two problems. First, the journey home is fraught with dangers, and at the very least, we won’t be able to make it home today. We might have to survive in a dangerous environment at night, possible against the bugs…”

“So, I’m giving you two options. First, stay here. Second, leave!”

Seeing that no one was speaking up, he added, “Staying here means spending another night in this relatively safe environment. If the Spatial Channels do not appear, it means the apocalypse has passed, and everyone is safe. We just have to quietly wait for rescue! ”

“If you choose to leave, you’re free to go wherever you prefer. Those wishing to go to the police station, go to the police station. Those wishing to go home, go home. Everyone can make their own choices!”

Ironically, after he laid out their choices, no one dared to make the first decision.

“Du Gang, which option are you taking?”

They wanted to see Du Gang’s decision first, to guide their own.

Without hesitation, Du Gang gave the answer he had long considered, “I’m going home, regardless of whether these bugs are going to be active at night, I absolutely must go back!”

Since it was so safe during the day, there was no reason to stay here.

He had initially thought to stay in the dormitory until the food ran out, it seemed like that plan had been made in vain.

“Where is your home?”

“Luo An City!”

Upon hearing his answer, many faces showed disappointment.

However, joy was evident on the faces of two men and three women. Their homes were also in Luo An City, hence they could travel together with Du Gang!

Noting that daylight had just broken for a while and superfluous delays were avoidable, Du Gang directly announced, “Now, those who wish to go to Luo An City with me, come over here!”

Since it was time to part ways, he couldn’t be bothered worrying about whether others wanted to stay in the dorm or go to the police station.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the two men and the three women, slightly hesitant, stepped forward.

“Cough, cough.”

Just then, Mu Chuxue, who had been maintaining a low profile and saying nothing, coughed lightly.

Instantaneously, the three girls who had just taken a few steps towards Du Gang, paused in their steps.

One of the girls shot a glance at Mu Chuxue, then turned and asked Du Gang,

“Du Gang, if we go with you, can you guarantee our safety?”

Du Gang chuckled and shook his head, “No, if the Spatial Channels reappear tonight, frankly speaking, I might not even be able to save myself!”

The girl swivelled her head to face Mu Chuxue and posed the same question, “Sister Chuxue, if we follow you, can you guarantee our safety?”

“Of course!”

With an air of arrogance, Mu Chuxue affirmed.

The girls’ expressions remained unchanging, but the boys wore inexplicable looks.

Mu Chuxue protecting everyone?

What were they thinking?

At this moment, Wang Yixuan stepped forward and said solicitously, “I suppose you all aren’t aware yet, Chuxue has awakened her superpower!”

“What?!!”

“Superpower?! ! ”

Being all around sixteen or seventeen years old, the students present had most likely read novels before and were not strangers to the term ‘superpower’.

Indeed, I awakened my superpower at the brink of life and death last night and was even successful in killing a bug,” Mu Chuxue confirmed indifferently.

The crowd gasped again, looking at her in disbelief!

Everyone there had seen how terrifying the bugs were.

With a length of three to four meters and a height of half a meter, their numerous legs alone were enough to instill fear at first glance.

She had actually killed a bug too.

“Is what you’re saying true?”

Mu Chuxue felt somewhat unhappy at everyone’s skepticism and pouted. “Of course it’s true. You can ask Du Gang. When he came, wasn’t the bug in my room dead?”

Immediately, everyone once again turned their eyes towards Du Gang, with an indescribable look in their eyes.

Having already decided to leave, Du Gang couldn’t be bothered with all these issues. He nodded. “Yes, when I got to her room, a bug indeed had died, killed by an ice spike…”

“Did you hear that?”

Perhaps worried that Du Gang would reveal her state at the time, Mu Chuxue hastily added a few more sentences after talking about the bug’s demise under her hand.

“Even though I have just awakened my superpower and I’m not too skilled yet, I can promise you all that as long as I am alive, I will use my utmost effort to protect everyone ! ”

Everyone glanced at Mu Chuxue and Du Gang, unsure of what to do.

Many people were waiting for a promise from Du Gang.

Because compared to Mu Chuxue’s superpower, they trusted Du Gang’s ability to enlarge himself more.

Unfortunately, Du Gang didn’t make any promises. Instead, he impatiently said, “Is anyone coming with me or not? I’m going to pack up with Ma Li. We’re leaving in ten minutes!”

After finishing, he didn’t bother to care about others’ thoughts and left directly with Ma Li to return to his dormitory.

The main things to pack were some clothes and food. They didn’t bother with anything else like books, homework, etc.

They didn’t know what the situation would be like at night, and extra stuff would only be a burden.

After sensing Du Gang’s attitude, many people felt disheartened.

“Sister Chuxue, are you sure you’ll protect us?”

Compared to Du Gang, Mu Chuxue’s attitude was more comforting.

In her heart, Mu Chuxue scoffed at Du Gang, that man didn’t know the first thing about respecting talent. Soon he will be all alone!

She tried to put on a friendly face as she gently said, “Please rest assured, everyone. I’ll do everything I can to protect all of those who choose to follow me!”

At this moment, six people from the fifth floor who had been eavesdropping quietly came upstairs.

Ma Haibin led them and asked, “Mu Chuxue, can we join you?”

Mu Chuxue knew these six had been isolated by Du Gang. Seeing them willing to join her, she readily agreed, “Of course!”

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, after all!

From the beginning, she had always seen Du Gang as her enemy. She didn’t believe that after everything she had done against him, he would forget his grudge.

“That’s great! From now on, wherever you say to go, Sister Chuxue, we’ll follow… ”

Seeing how quickly Ma Haibin was pledging his loyalty, the others also panicked and hastily followed suit. “I’m also with Chuxue…”

“I’ll go with you too!”

“Hahaha! ”

Seeing that she had so many followers, Mu Chuxue broke into a brilliant smile.

“Stop calling me Sister Chuxue, it sounds awful. From now on, call me ‘big sister’. I am your boss!”

A series of “big sister” cries followed immediately.

However, a few people didn’t say anything.

Three boys and one girl.

Two of the boys were the ones who, earlier, had stepped forward to say they were from Luo An City. They wanted to follow Du Gang back home.

Another guy, who hadn’t said much from the beginning, but always had a calm look in his eyes called Chu Zixuan. He had seen Mu Chuxue being carried home by Du Gang last night. Therefore, compared to Du Gang who could transform into a giant anytime, he didn’t trust Mu Chuxue.

The only remaining silent one was An Ya.

Originally, she was also somewhat tempted to follow Mu Chuxue.

But then this girl, she actually wanted everyone to call her ‘big sister’.

How could she bring herself to do that?

She, a college graduate who was in her mid-twenties, expected to call a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl ‘big sister’…

Nevermind, I’ll follow Du Gang. He did save my life after all.

An Ya finally decided to follow Du Gang and leave with him.

Her hometown was far away in the North. She stayed in Nanyuan because that’s where she attended university and was offered a job at Nanyuan Experimental School after her internship ended.

Luo An City was more to the North compared to Nanyuan, which was at least something in its favor..
