Chapter 18 Waste Material

“Hey, hey, have you three said enough? Do you really think we’re air?”

Wang Qiang spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth, raised the wooden stick in his hand, and pointed it at Su Ming.

“Charge!”

Su Ming took a deep breath and led the charge towards Wang Qiang.

Mink and Chen Tong followed without hesitation.

“You’re asking for death!”

Wang Qiang led his subordinates forward.

A thug swung a stick at Chen Tong. Chen Tong dodged to the right, then punched the opponent in the nose.

However, the next second, he took a hit to his waist.

The intense pain made Chen Tong grimace. He endured the pain, turned, and kicked the thug who attacked him.

But the next second, two sticks directly struck his back.

Chen Tong fell directly to the ground, with a look of seeing a ghost. He just couldn’t understand why it felt like everyone was ganging up on him.

So, Chen Tong looked up and scanned Su Ming and Mink.

He found that both of them were already lying on the ground, surrounded and being brutally beaten.

“Damn it!”

About ten minutes later, Su Ming, Mink, and Chen Tong sat against the wall of a street-side building.

The three of them were beaten black and blue, looking as disheveled as could be.

“Su Ming, are you alright?”

Mink asked, enduring the pain in his body.

“I’m fine. I’m fat, with a lot of body fat, so I can take a beating.”

Su Ming replied with a wry smile.

“You two are really useless. You can’t even fight. If only you two had held out a little longer, I could have taken down at least a few of them.”

Chen Tong complained, extremely annoyed.

“We are good students. We rarely fight because fighting is wrong.”

Mink hesitated before replying.

“Wrong my foot.”

Chen Tong was almost amused by Mink’s words.

Su Ming had a helpless expression. It wasn’t that he wasn’t strong enough, but that this body was truly inadequate.

When he was fighting just now, Su Ming clearly saw the stick coming down. He made a dodging motion immediately, but his body couldn’t evade at all; his movements were like a turtle’s.

Also, his fists were fleshy and tender. A punch landed softly on the opponent, like a massage, with no force at all. Instead, his own hand hurt terribly.

Although he had started controlling his diet and exercising, it wasn’t something that could be changed in a day or two.

“Forget it, I must have had a brain cramp to talk about that with you two. I shouldn’t have trusted you.”

Chen Tong said weakly.

“Don’t be angry. This time, we dragged you down. By the way, why did that group of people block you, Su Ming? Who did you offend?”

Mink asked Su Ming, puzzled.

Before Su Ming could speak, Chen Tong said irritably,

“The one leading them is Wang Qiang. He’s a notorious gang leader in this area. Who else could it be but Zhang Tai?”

“That’s going too far. I’m definitely going to report him.”

Mink said angrily when he heard that Zhang Tai was behind it.

Su Ming, however, was quite open-minded. He struggled to stand up and said,

“It’s useless. We were beaten outside the school, and there’s no evidence. We can’t do anything to him. Let’s go to a nearby hospital and get checked out. I’ll pay for the medical expenses.”

“Alright.”

Mink also stood up.

Chen Tong gazed at Su Ming. He felt as if Su Ming had changed into a different person.

If it were the old Su Ming, seeing the people blocking him, he would have probably peed himself and never resisted. Although the outcome was still the same—getting beaten—the perception was different.

At this moment, Su Ming turned to look at Chen Tong. Seeing that he hadn’t stood up, he thought the guy was crippled from the beating, so he extended his hand to him.

Chen Tong snorted, reached out, grabbed Su Ming’s hand, and stood up.

The three of them walked forward dejectedly.

Late at night.

Inside Room 316 of Dormitory Building 1, Mient Intermediate Academy.

A tall boy with a face full of acne scars walked out of the bathroom, carrying a stainless steel basin filled with clothes.

“Zhou Kang, it’s so late, and you’re still going to wash clothes? What if they don’t dry? What will you wear tomorrow?”

Inside the dormitory, a boy wearing glasses asked.

“It doesn’t matter. Teacher Tang was stimulated and probably won’t recover anytime soon. Tomorrow will likely still be self-study, so it doesn’t matter what I wear.”

Zhou Kang walked out of the dormitory carelessly, humming a tune as he walked down the corridor towards the stairs, planning to go to the laundry room on the first floor.

Just then, behind him, a pair of dark red eyes lit up, their dark red vision fixed on Zhou Kang.

The next second, that figure skimmed the ground, rushing towards Zhou Kang at extreme speed.

Zhou Kang was humming a tune and walking forward. However, just as that figure was about to close in from behind, he instinctively felt as if something was rushing towards him, so he jumped up.

Immediately, a deformed rat covered in black bumps all over its body darted past Zhou Kang’s feet.

Zhou Kang was startled. After his feet landed, he fearfully picked up the basin and slammed it hard onto the deformed rat.

Bang~

A huge noise echoed throughout the entire dormitory building.

“Damn it, are you crazy! What time is it?!”

Curses came from various rooms.

Zhou Kang, at this moment, ignored the curses. He fearfully lifted the deformed basin, wanting to see if that disgusting rat was dead.

The flattened, deformed rat stood up directly and darted onto Zhou Kang’s body at extreme speed.

Zhou Kang, terrified, reached out and grabbed the deformed rat.

At this point, the rat also opened its mouth and bit his hand, while a large number of black cells permeated into him.

“Ah!”

Immediately, a piercing scream echoed throughout the entire dormitory building.

On the stairs, Su Ming and his two companions, having dealt with their injuries, were climbing up with tired steps. They had been at the hospital for half a day and finally got their wounds treated.

They were almost at the third floor.

Suddenly hearing the piercing scream, they were startled and immediately rushed up.

When they arrived at the third-floor corridor, they saw Zhou Kang standing alone in the corridor, his head bowed.

“What happened?”

At this moment, students also rushed out of their dormitories.

They saw Zhou Kang standing there dumbfounded, and several students walked up and asked,

“Zhou Kang?”

At this moment, Zhou Kang suddenly raised his head. His face became extremely ferocious, covered in raised black stripes, and his eyes had turned dark red.

Su Ming’s pupils constricted sharply, and he shouted at his bewildered classmates,

“Stay away from Zhou Kang!”

Unfortunately, it was too late. Zhou Kang directly turned, grabbed a classmate, opened his mouth, and bit his carotid artery.

“Ah~”

As blood splattered, that classmate immediately let out a scream.

“Run~”

The surrounding classmates ran away in terror.

Chen Tong saw this scene and immediately rushed forward, kicking Zhou Kang.

Zhou Kang was directly kicked to the ground, but he got up the next second.

Chen Tong was about to swing his fist to strike.

Su Ming directly stepped forward, grabbed Chen Tong’s collar from behind, pulled him back, and retreated.

“What are you doing?”

Chen Tong roared angrily.
