After Du Gang took Mu Chuxue back to the boys’ dormitory, he handed her over to Wang Yixuan.

At the same time, he found two empty dormitories on the sixth floor and moved the six girls and An Ya into them.

“Du Gang, by what right are you kicking us out?”

“Exactly, this is our dormitory!”

At this moment, Ma Haibin and his companions were standing in the hallway, shouting loudly, quickly attracting all the students to come out and watch.

At this point, seeing that the others had come out, Ma Haibin and his group only became more impudent, yelling even louder, recklessly disregarding the risk of attracting insects.

With a calm expression, Du Gang said, “I mentioned before that everyone should go to the first floor to barricade the doors; only you six didn’t go. We all remember that.”

After hearing this, Ma Haibin felt a bit guilty, but he still struggled to argue, “Even so, you can’t just kick us out. There are insects outside, you’re committing murder!”

“Kick out?”

As soon as his words fell, people began to discuss among themselves, occasionally looking at Du Gang with strange eyes, as if they thought he was being too coldhearted.

Du Gang didn’t bother arguing about semantics with him and crossed his arms, coldly saying, “I give you two options: live downstairs or I’ll throw you out!” “Du Gang, you can’t do this, it’s against the law, you’re committing a crime!” Ma Haibin was panicking, but he still voiced his objections.

Du Gang scoffed and stated calmly, “I’ll count to three. If you don’t decide, I’ll make the decision for you.”

“One!”

Ma Haibin and the others were panicked. Seeing Du Gang unmoved, they desperately appealed to the other students, “Guys, tell him, we admit we were wrong. We should have gone down initially. But at that time, we thought it would be too chaotic with more people, so we didn’t go… We don’t deserve to die for that!”

He was still twisting Du Gang’s words, interpreting a move downstairs as a death sentence.

As expected, a few students were persuaded and suggested, “Du Gang, let’s forget it; they didn’t do it on purpose…”

Before they could finish speaking, Du Gang’s cold voice cut through, “Anyone willing to accompany them downstairs, feel free to continue speaking!” Suddenly, everyone else shut their mouths, not daring to utter a peep.

“Two!”

Seeing that no one else dared to speak, Ma Haibin put his hopes on Du Gang once more and pleaded, “Du Gang, we’re classmates; there’s no need to be so ruthless…”

As he said this, he turned his gaze to An Ya and the other girls, crying, “Teacher An, Du Gang wants to vacate a room for you by sending us to our deaths. That’s not right, is it?!”

As expected, the six girls, who had been silently watching, couldn’t hold back and chimed in.

“Yeah, Du Gang, isn’t this going too far?”

“Yeah, you don’t have to kick them out just to give us a place to stay. The sixth floor is big; they can squeeze in with the others…”

“Your room only has you and Ma Li, right? It can also accommodate them…”

“Three!”

As soon as Du Gang finished speaking, he took a step forward. Ma Haibin and his companions, scared stiff, hurriedly ran towards the stairs, their feet moving as if they were powered by engines, rushing downstairs.

If it were peaceful times, even if Du Gang dared to say these words, they could have taken him down with their spittle.

But now, Du Gang is the strongest among them, and, most importantly, this guy is truly cold-hearted. He has so many girls yet he wouldn’t save them, completely disregarding moral constraints…

Ma Haibin was convinced that if he hadn’t moved, Du Gang would have really thrown him out to feed the bugs.

It was only after the six of them had run downstairs that Du Gang turned and stared coldly at everyone present.

“I want you all to understand, it’s the end of the world now. The old morality and standards…you shouldn’t bring them up…

“Do you think I stand a better chance of survival with you, or on my own?” “If you want to stay with me, you have to listen to me!”

“I hope you get your attitudes in check. If there’s another situation like this, it would be best we went separate ways.”

Having said his piece, Du Gang pulled Ma Li and went straight back to his dormitory.

After he left, the people in the hallway remained speechless for a while, unsure of what to say.

In the end, they entered the dormitories in clusters, settling in the one furthest from Du Gang.

By an unspoken agreement, An Ya and the other five girls entered the same dormitory.

Although her initial thoughts about Du Gang were a bit out of line, these two instances had truly unsettled her.

She couldn’t believe Du Gang was such a cold-blooded person, and so indifferent!

Inside the dormitory, everyone was silent. Only Mu Chuxue, who was lying on the bed, asked in confusion, ‘What just happened?”

Although she had been conscious the entire time, she was too weak to move after using the ice spike once.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yixuan detailed the whole incident.

At the same time, she also mentioned the incident where Du Gang had saved the girls once before.

After listening, Mu Chuxue sneered, “As expected, he’s just that kind of person. I’m glad I rejected him!”

“How long has it been since the end of the world? Not even a full day has passed, and he’s already impatient about collecting power…”

Wang Yixuan sighed and shook her head, “Don’t talk like that; we really need him to survive…”

The others also looked like they agreed. Although they were dissatisfied with Du Gang’s attitude towards everyone, they had to admit that he was right.

However, people were hardly ready to accept transitioning from a free and equal society to a dictatorship.

Everyone felt weighed down by a heavy stone in their hearts.

Hearing their discussion, Mu Chuxue flared up in anger, “Who does he think he is? Is he trying to restore the monarchy?”

“Don’t worry, I have a superpower too. When I recover, I’ll take you all out of here!”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at her in disbelief.

With a proud expression, Mu Chuxue declared, “You guys think I was saved by him? I’ve gained ice powers, and I’ve even killed a bug…”

She subconsciously overlooked the fact that she only had one strike left and that if Du Gang hadn’t saved her, she would have been killed by other bugs.

Sure enough, the others were delighted when they heard this. “Keep it a secret. When I recover…”

The girls huddled together and began to whisper excitedly.

While these seven girls plotted their separation, the atmosphere in the other dormitory was quite heavy.

“What do you think about what Du Gang said?”

No one knew who had raised the question, but even after significant time had passed, no one answered it.

People didn’t know what to say. Should they acknowledge Du Gang’s leadership?

The long-standing concept of equality that had been instilled in them made them hesitant to admit it.

After a long while, one person sighed, looked at the silent group, and walked away.

If they didn’t accept his leadership, was there any other choice?

After he’d left, the others also left one after another. There was nothing left to discuss; they all accepted the situation..
