217.Fighting to repay a debt

"You'd better keep quiet!" The train slowly started moving again, its slow speed causing constant vibrations. Suddenly, the door of the driver's compartment opened. A cold and composed woman emerged, bearing a striking resemblance to Julia. The people on the train who had been there all along fell silent under her icy gaze, knowing full well how fearsome she was.

"Why are you so angry? It's not your man who died, it's my girlfriend that I was dating!"

"Yes! Why are you angry? It's the end of the world, no one is more noble than anyone else. Can't we express our sadness and grief?"

"Then go and be with her!" With a swift motion that was hard to discern, she sliced the hand of the person who was causing the most commotion and trying to take advantage of her, then kicked them out the window.

"Don't..." Claudy White was about to say something, but was silenced by her cold glare. Ignoring the fearful, hateful glances from the others, she continued, "This train will now head to the university city, which is safe from monster attacks. The first stop is the wilderness of Wei Jing City, where those who want to fight for humanity can stay and wait for the military to launch an attack together. The second stop is the final destination. I will stop at the first station for five minutes, at which point you can make your own choice."

In the university city, a chorus of lamentation filled the air. The majority of the people there were students, and those students were often the most impulsive. For some reason, the university city had not been attacked by the alien monsters. However, after the highest level of mobilization was issued by the war god, no more information was received. Nonetheless, some students had their own means of obtaining information, as the military cables buried underground had not been destroyed. By hacking into some of the still intact cameras, they were able to find out what was happening in Wei Jing City.

"Are you going or not? My parents are in Wei Jing City, and I am definitely going," a woman said to the man sitting next to her who was lost in contemplation. Clearly, they were a couple, but at this critical moment, it put their relationship to the test.

"My parents are in the university city, and I'm an only child..." the man wanted to argue.

"Fine! You're useless! When I wanted you in bed, you said you were willing to die for me, and now you won't even go! Get lost! It's like I've been screwed by a dog. I don't want to see you ever again!" With that, the woman slapped the man across the face and quickly left.

Scenes like this were all too common, not just with women, but mostly with men. At this point, classes had already been suspended at the war god academy, and the students had gathered on the field, all caught up in heated discussions.

"Are you going?"

"Of course! Why wouldn't we go? We entered the war god academy precisely for this moment!"

"Yes! It's a shame we don't have a leader. With things in such disarray, it's likely to be a mess!"

"Hmph! Who can lead us in this day and age? You'd rather let someone else lead?"

The students of the war god academy were truly different from other students. They weren't discussing whether or not to go, but had already come to an agreement on how to go about building a legacy and defending their homeland. After all, they were the pride of heaven, and most of the courses at the war god academy taught them how to hunt and kill alien monsters and zombies.

"One person, huh?"

"Yeah! Barrett Walker, right? I don't know where that guy has gone, but both of his top-notch women are here!"

"I heard he went into seclusion, seems like he went to the inner courtyard of the war god academy!"

"Is that so? We can't wait for them. We might as well be lone heroes! When it's time to kill the alien monsters, don't go calling for help! I might not have the time!"

"Hmph! You too!" At this moment, even those students who usually didn't get along were showing unity, but they always found an opportunity to take a few jabs at each other.

"Cousin! Are you going back?" George Dorlage asked his companion, Daven Green.

"I have no desire to return, but I will go to the city of Wei Jing to reclaim what is rightfully mine from the Greene family!" Davin Greene looked around, then gazed at the impassioned crowd. He declared, "I do not wish to be associated with these people. Let us depart! We will arm ourselves and lead the way!"

"They seem to be waiting for someone," George Dolarge said, quickly following behind Davin Greene. He had always been a loyal follower of Davin.

"Let's go! Why are we still discussing? We must hurry, or we will miss our chance." The people, unable to contain themselves, quickly followed suit and rushed towards the train station in the university town. Taking the subway was now the fastest option.

The entire university town was in turmoil. Some teachers and even the grade deans had been persuaded. However, when they arrived at the subway station, they were completely stunned. The heads of several major academies in the War God Academy were already waiting there. They were highly respected and had unparalleled cultivation. In this university town, their words held more weight than even the mayor or the police chief. As the students surged towards them, the atmosphere momentarily froze, especially for the students of the War God Academy, who felt like children caught stealing candy. But they quickly gathered their courage to face them directly.

"Let us through! We are going to fight for our parents, aren't we?"

"Yes! We know it's dangerous, but we, as the human race's well-trained and well-equipped reserves, must fight for ourselves!"

Ang Lee stepped forward, looking at the restless students, and said softly, "Do you know why the principal of the War God Academy, Danus Leio, chose to place this university town so far from Wei Jing City? It's because he doesn't want to see the day when you go to your deaths. You are the hope and the future of humanity. You shouldn't die without value like this..."

"But if we don't go, we will feel guilty for the rest of our lives. And is it really the hope of humanity to watch our parents, brothers, and sisters suffer at the hands of alien monsters without trying to save them?"

"Yes! Principal, please don't stop us anymore, okay? Everything we've learned is for today! Trust us! If Wei Jing City really can't be saved, we will protect ourselves."

Ang Lee looked at the determined expressions on the students' faces and listened to their almost pleading negotiation. He was inexplicably shaken, and ultimately stepped aside. As the cheers from below subsided, he raised his hand for silence and said loudly, "I don't want to say anything pessimistic. Just remember, preserving your own lives is victory!"

"Long live the principal!"

"Long live the principal!" The crowd cheered and crowded onto the subway.

"Are you not afraid of the principal blaming you when he returns?" The others had not spoken, and Sing Phoenix asked Ang Lee.

"I think if you were in charge, you would do the same." Ang Lee didn't explain further, and as he looked at the smiling faces, his heart was filled with sorrow. How many of them would survive this?

Many of these principals had been adopted by Danus Leio and regarded him as their father, while many more had been raised by Ang Lee, their senior brother. They felt a sense of inexplicable gratitude towards him, and now, as they went against Danus Leio's wishes, they couldn't help but worry for him.

"Enough of these worried and troubled looks. As sons of men, they must repay their debts, and as a member of the human race, I must act accordingly. So I will follow them. If I die in battle, all is over. If I survive, I will return to ask the principal for forgiveness." Ang Lee understood their thoughts. These brothers and sisters were orphans, and now they were each other's family. Even though humanity had not raised them, as a member of humanity, he had to repay the favor of their birth.

In this new era of mythology, countless legends emerged, with the heroic deaths of the War God Academy teachers, Ang Lee and others, being the most magnificent.
