Chapter 75 I have booked it
Qiao Suisui didn't hesitate at all. She took out the whistle Jie Jin had given her and blew it hard. The piercing whistle echoed in the hall, drawing everyone's attention. The students blocking the way were startled by the whistle, and Jie Jin and the other three took the opportunity to break through the obstruction. Anubis didn't move, standing by Qiao Suisui's side without leaving her side.
Qiao Suisui saw that Jie Jin and his team were at a disadvantage, after all, they were up against a ten-person squad.
She had an idea!
She yelled at Nuowei, "Throw me the survival kit!"
While fighting, Nuowei yelled angrily, "You can keep it safe? Two pieces of dead weight!"

Nuowei stubbornly refused to hand over the survival kit to Qiao Suisui, and Jie Jin obviously also distrusted Qiao Suisui, and didn't ask Nuowei to let go. However, this also caused them to miss the best opportunity for cooperation; just now, if he had thrown the survival kit over, those people would definitely come over to snatch it, and then Qiao Suisui could just open the space and take them all in.
The ten Beastmen had already knocked Jie Jin's five-person team to the ground and ultimately grabbed the survival kit, hurriedly leaving. Nuowei angrily got up from the ground and vented all his embarrassment and anger from being publicly defeated on Qiao Suisui and Anubis: "Look at you, each one weaker than the next, especially you, boy, looking weak and useless. You can't even survive on your own, yet you're dragging us down!"
Anubis stood in front of Qiao Suisui, blocking Nuowei's harsh words. He released an intimidating aura, and his eyes, filled with warning, made one tremble. Nuowei was taken aback, an instinctive fear rising in his heart, yet he still put on a tough front.
"What's the matter, having no ability and still daring to show off at this time?"
Qiao Suisui coldly watched Nuowei make a spectacle of himself shouting here, and the silent Jie Jin and others standing behind him, feeling it a waste of time to say even half a word more. She tugged at Anubis's sleeve, signaling him not to be impulsive.
Suddenly, a scream attracted everyone's attention. It turned out that the ten-person team who had just snatched the survival kit had also been robbed.
The air in the hall seemed to freeze for a moment; then, the looks in many people's eyes seemed to have changed since they first came in.
The competitive instinct in the Beastmen's genes was fully stimulated. Many small squads teamed up to encircle and compete for the survival kit. In one team's hands, the survival kit would not last more than five minutes before another group snatched it away. People fought fiercely, some even losing control and only thinking about obtaining the survival kit. The entire hall instantly fell into chaos.
Just then, a harsh buzzing sound broke the deadlock, and a swarm of bees surged like a black tide. Nuowei's complexion changed, and he quickly retreated. Anubis, however, stood firmly in front of Qiao Suisui, building an impenetrable barrier with his body.
"It's the Bloodthirsty Crazy Bee!"
"Help!"
"Ah! Ah! Don't come closer! Go away!"
Qiao Suisui had heard about this from Lanze; the Bloodthirsty Crazy Bee was artificially bred, eating only people, not collecting honey.
Qiao Suisui's heartbeat quickened, but her thoughts were unusually clear. She remembered Lanze had mentioned that the Bloodthirsty Crazy Bee was very sensitive to specific frequencies of sound. She glanced at the whistle in her hand, a bold plan forming in her mind.
She pulled Anubis close and told him, "I need you to make a loud noise with me, close to the frequency of my whistle but not exactly the same, to create a sound wave interference. The Bloodthirsty Crazy Bee will attack each other in the confusion."
Anubis nodded, not asking anything, just following her instructions. Qiao Suisui took a deep breath and then blew the whistle again, while Anubis emitted a deep, powerful howl from his throat. The two sounds interwove within the auditorium, creating a peculiar resonance.
As expected, the Bloodthirsty Crazy Bees began to descend into chaos, their flight paths becoming disordered, some even starting to attack each other. Qiao Suisui did not stop; she continued to blow the whistle, each note precisely controlling the frequency, increasing the level of chaos among the Bloodthirsty Crazy Bees.
In the chaos, the students who were fighting over the survival kits were forced to stop their skirmishes, beginning to panic and dodge the suddenly self-attacking Bloodthirsty Crazy Bees. The survival kits were abandoned on the ground, no longer a concern for anyone.
Jie Jin and Nuowei also noticed Qiao Suisui's plan, their eyes filled with surprise as they looked at her. Jie Jin quickly acted, picking up a survival kit from the ground and running towards Qiao Suisui and her group during the confusion among the Bloodthirsty Crazy Bees.
"Quick, this way!" cried Qiao Suisui as she blew the whistle, the area behind the auditorium's stage curtain providing a temporary shelter was not far away.
Jie Jin led the group to where Qiao Suisui and Anubis were; they quickly formed a small team and moved towards the stage. Nuowei followed closely, his face conveying complex emotions, but understanding that without Qiao Suisui's cunning, they might not have survived the chaos.
They sprinted until safely behind the curtain, where Qiao Suisui stopped blowing the whistle and took a deep breath. Her plan had succeeded; they had not only secured the survival kits but also temporarily escaped danger.
Jie Jin looked at Qiao Suisui with admiration in his eyes, and the others also expressed their thanks to her. Only Nuowei was still awkwardly looking away.
Jie Jin said to her, "You did well. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet."
Qiao Suisui smiled faintly but said nothing. Anubis stood beside her with arms crossed, silent and aloof as he caught Jie Jin's gaze.
The numerical advantage of five against two did not dominate the atmosphere; rather, Jie Jin felt in the wrong, aware that the current predicament was because he had not chosen to trust her. Thus, he blamed no one, especially not Qiao Suisui.
"Let's see what's inside the survival kit, maybe we can find a way out."
Jie Jin's suggestion broke the brief standstill, and they gathered behind the stage curtain, quickly opening the survival kit. Inside were food, medical supplies, and a letter.
"Congratulations on advancing to the second stage. Now, no matter how many people are in your team, there are only three spots for advancement. For your future and career, make your choice."
As Jie Jin finished reading, the air around them seemed to freeze. Qiao Suisui scanned the group; the person seated to her right showed no emotional fluctuation, their expression calm. Across from her, Jie Jin lowered his eyes in contemplation, silent at the moment. Nuowei looked at Jie Jin, his eyes full of urgency, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated because of the others present. The rest had their own plans in mind.
Unable to hold back, one of them said, "Jie Jin, I can't just go back to my family knowing my situation, you know that, right? Let me advance."
"Why should it be you?" Nuowei placed a hand on his shoulder, "Sorry, but I think it's better to decide this based on strength."
Jie Jin looked at Qiao Suisui and Anubis, saying, "I also think strength should speak, but it might be a bit unfair for you guys."
Qiao Suisui felt disgusted by this display of charity from a position of strength.
She took a deep breath, slightly lifted her chin, and looked directly at everyone, saying, "I've booked AOIS."
