Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 348 Using Sausages as Swords!
Sunlight streamed down, turning the ruins into a hazy golden hue.

Lu Mingfei, wrapped in a wrinkled coat, stepped over the broken stones and logs scattered on the ground.

The air still carried a faint smell of gunpowder, mixed with the aroma of Munich-style roasted white sausage and scallion bread—the academy's logistics system had begun operating.

A Red Cross flag stood in the center of the ruins, next to dozens of white tents where doctors were examining the injured students. Occasionally, a few blood pressure monitors would burst, as some of the mixed-race individuals had blood pressure far exceeding that of normal humans; otherwise, everything was calm.

Emergency responders and students moved through the rubble, with long lines forming in front of medical stations and breakfast distribution points.

Lu Mingfei stood between the two lines, still half asleep, feeling a little dazed.

"Good morning."

A hand was stretched out in front of him.

Lu Mingfei looked up and saw Qi Lan standing in the group, her black hair neatly combed, as if last night was just an ordinary night.

"Hey! You're awake?"

A clear greeting came from the other side. Lancelot, the vice president of the Lionheart Society, waved from afar, his white shirt spotless, carrying a tray.

Caesar appeared behind him without him noticing, and his strong hand landed on his shoulder.

The student council president was still wearing his smart uniform, but the collar was slightly open, and his blond hair shone brightly.

"An accident occurred in the ice cellar last night, and the cause has not yet been determined."

Caesar's voice was very steady:

"The college announced that it might be an earthquake."

Lu Mingfei's face immediately showed an expression of "Oh, so that's how it is. I'm relieved to hear that," with no fluctuation in his eyes, as if he were hearing the news for the first time.

No one would guess that one of the "culprits" behind this disaster is standing right here.

"I've heard about the investigation team."

Caesar took a half step closer, lowering his voice slightly:
"Call me next time something like this happens." A hint of approval flashed in his icy blue eyes. "I heard you also thoroughly humiliated my uncle. Well done."

The Gattuso heir clicked his tongue slightly, as if savoring something amusing:
"However, I know his character. He's very stingy, so you have to be careful of his underhanded tactics."

After saying that, he patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder and turned to leave—as if he had come specifically just to say those few words.

As Lu Mingfei watched that tall figure disappear between the tents, before he could even catch his breath, another figure silently appeared beside him.

Chu Zihang stood in the shadow of the medical team, his posture upright, even his cuffs were fastened meticulously.

His gaze swept calmly over Lu Mingfei.

"fine?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Lu Mingfei waved his hand. "I just overslept."

Chu Zihang nodded, his gaze sweeping over the still-smoking ruins in the distance, and remained silent for a moment.

Chu Zihang's gaze lingered briefly on Lu Mingfei's cuff.

He stepped forward, his fingers gently pinching the worn fabric, and pulled up the sleeve to cover the sterile trim that was showing beneath.

There was a deep wound there, left from yesterday's battle, which Zero had bandaged.

Clearly, Lu Mingfei's disguise wasn't very convincing; after all, he was a soldier, used to being careless and rough around the edges.

Chu Zihang's movements were fluid and natural, as if he were casually tidying up Chu Zihang's clothes.

His gaze fell on Lu Mingfei's face, as if asking a silent question.

Chu Zihang is a very cautious person; he would never ask Lu Mingfei in public.

He also knew that the "S-class" in front of him had an abnormally strong physique, being heat-resistant, cold-resistant, and durable. However, he was wrapped in a coat, and there were injuries under the coat, which was obviously unusual.

Lu Mingfei shrugged, his eyes quickly glancing in the direction of the Norton Building before returning to Chu Zihang's. The meaning was clear: "We'll talk about it later. Come find me."

A knowing glint flashed in Chu Zihang's eyes, and he nodded very slightly.

He withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.

Just as Chu Zihang turned to leave, a gentle breeze swept past Lu Mingfei from behind.

Chu Zihang's vision blurred, and he saw Lu Mingfei, without turning his head, grab the wrist of the figure that had silently approached him.

The movement was so fast that only afterimages remained.

"oops!"

Xia Mi cried out in pain, her hand, which he was holding tightly, was still clutching a grilled sausage that he had somehow gotten his hands on, and she almost dropped it to the ground.

She blinked her bright, doe-like eyes, which were full of innocence.

Chu Zihang stood quietly in place, his gaze sweeping between Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei.

He noticed that Lu Mingfei's counterattack just now was a completely instinctive reaction, and the speed was astonishing, not at all like someone who was injured.

"When did you arrive? What do you want?"

Lu Mingfei asked lazily.

"I just came to say hello."

Xia Mi stuck out her tongue.

"You don't seem like the type to greet me," Lu Mingfei said, narrowing his eyes as his gaze swept over the sausage she was holding, which she nearly dropped. "Trying to greet me with a weapon in your hand?"

"Okay, okay," Xia Mi pouted, "I just wanted to scare you a little. Besides, how is a sausage a weapon..."

Lu Mingfei then released his grip and lazily shrugged.

"So you were scared. Are you satisfied now?"

Xia Mi rubbed her slightly reddened wrist, then suddenly tiptoed closer to his ear and said in a voice tinged with gritted teeth:

"Senior brother, you'll never find a girlfriend if you're this rude."

After she finished speaking, she hopped back two steps, made a face at him, and looked just like a little panda standing up to intimidate its enemy.

Xia Mi turned around and blended into the queue.

Chu Zihang was too lazy to listen to this pair of clowns arguing, so he turned his head to look in the direction of the Hall of Heroes.

The giant rooster statue crashed down, destroying the opening of the "Foundation Well".

Centered on the wellhead, a violent explosion burned out a black patch tens of meters in diameter. If this can be explained as an "earthquake phenomenon," then the elites of Kassel College have wasted their time.

The person who issued this announcement was obviously lying through their teeth. However, after Lu Mingfei hung the investigation team on the college gate, the board of directors remained silent for a long time. Angers could be said to have absolute power in the entire school, and it was rare for a school announcement not to lie through their teeth.
-
The elevator to the principal sank into the sea, and the water was not the familiar turquoise blue, but a murky red.

The carcasses of hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, and bluefin tuna float outside the glass enclosure; their bodies are broken into several pieces, some almost completely shattered.

Organs flowed out of the body, and the entire digestive tract floated in the water like an alien sea serpent—it was a hellish sight.

"My fish tank!"

Angers said hoarsely, his eyes twitching.

"I told you, you must stay calm and approach problems with equanimity. It's like your house burned down, and you wander around the ruins screaming, 'Oh! My TV!' 'Oh! My masterpiece!' What's the point? It only adds to your troubles."

You should look for usable things in the ruins; those are the surprises, like suddenly finding the seashells you collected with the little girl next door when you were a child. You smiled happily…”

The vice principal patted his old friend on the shoulder.
