After checking in, the other students seemed invigorated; it was as though it was a privilege just to come downstairs.

Sometimes people are like this, not concerned about the quantity, but about the fair distribution.

After they discovered that people upstairs may be worse off than they were, joy was added to everyone’s face.

However, the thumping sounds of the door quickly snapped them back to reality.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Perhaps having sensed that the “food” was now closer to them, the black beetles outside the door struck with even greater force.

The terrifying sound was like a persistent death knell, incessantly pounding against everyone’s heart.

Of all the students, except for Du Gang, everyone else instinctively wanted to distance themselves from the iron door.

“Go and move things from the first-floor dorm, every heavy item we can use to barricade this door!”

Du Gang beckoned as he moved closer to the iron door to inspect its condition. He knew that no one else dared to approach the door, so he did it himself.

The lock was fine, as was the door itself, but the hinges that connected the door to its frame, on both sides, were beginning to loosen. From one side, two nails were slightly raised. From the other, three nails had been raised. The remaining three were just about to come out!

“Made in Hua Nation…”

Upon glimpsing the fine detail, he thanked his lucky stars that it was locally made and of good quality!

Suddenly, a student brought over a tall metal cabinet.

“Put it here!” Du Gang pointed at a spot next to the door frame.

The two people carrying the cabinet stopped in their tracks, extremely hesitant. Through the gap in the door, they caught a glimpse of a beetle’s leg, and their whole bodies shuddered in fear.

Subsequently, when the others arrived with items, they also froze in fear. They were too afraid to approach the door. Although they knew the black beetles were outside and could not get in for now, they still felt a deep fear.

Seeing this, Du Gang did not compel them. He stepped forward, picked up the cabinet, and discovered it was lighter than he had anticipated. He picked it up with ease.

His strength, just like the rest of him, had been enhanced. Although it was not as powerful as it was when he transformed, it was far from ordinary strength.

Recognizing his own strength, Du Gang held a cabinet in each hand and walked to the door.

He spat a “he~~tui” between the door gap towards the bugs outside, then placed each cabinet against a side of the door frame.

Next, he stood in the middle of the door gap, using his body to block it and his hands to prop against the door. He shouted back, “I’ll hold it here, hurry and move!”

Once he did this, the students observed and their fear considerably lessened.

Although the banging sounds were still ominous, without the sight of the black beetles, the source of their fears was momentarily gone. Everyone began to approach and moved what they perceived as heavy items over.

“Don’t bring clothes. What are you thinking?”

“What are you bringing a water cup for? To serve me a drink?”

Standing by the door, Du Gang fiercely reprimanded, “Do you understand what ‘heavy items’ are? Grab the big stuff, or go get some books if nothing else!”

Inside these two cabinets, which were empty, if filled with books, they could provide a significant amount of weight.

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the students scurried about, grabbing books and stuffing them into the cabinets.

In no time, the two metal cabinets were filled to the brim.

Outside the door, having sensed that their “food” was within arm’s reach, the black beetles went wild. Their attack increased from one beetle at a time, to a swarm of beetles rushing at the door all at once.

Although the door was not wide enough to accommodate too many of them, their sheer number made up for it. Even the impact from the beetles colliding with one another had been transferred to the door, causing Du Gang’s body, which was propping against the door, to undulate.

“This won’t work!”

Du Gang realized that his strength alone wouldn’t be enough without him changing forms. He promptly shouted, “Quick, bring a bed!”

“Yes, sir!”

The students hurriedly set aside their things and clumsily started moving a bed.

“Push it over here and prop it against the cabinets!”

Du Gang moved aside, making room for the bed to be pushed over.

Soon, collectively, the students managed to push the double-decker bed to the door.

“Hold it up!”

Before Du Gang even needed to shout, the other students had intuitively started to push against the bed with all their strength.

“We don’t need too many people, the force is being wasted. Have four or five people hold the bed, the rest continue moving things. Toss those books onto this bed!”

While pressing on the door, Du Gang hollered, “Bring me another two cabinets, pass them through here, between the bed frames!”

The metal cabinets were just over a meter tall. Stacking two more at the entrance wouldn’t be an issue.

With the support of these items, the rest of the students grew bolder. A few of them even managed to lift the cabinets all the way to Du Gang’s side of the room.

After opening the cabinet doors, Du Gang stacked two new cabinets on top of the first two that were already there.

Without needing further instructions, the rest of the students conscientiously began to stuff books in the new cabinets.

With everyone’s tremendous effort, the iron door on the first floor was thoroughly barricaded.

Towards the end, even without anyone pushing the bed, the door could not be budged.

During the process of barricading, they didn’t think there was too much. But now, looking over, this place was filled to the brim with books.

“How many books do we have?”

With things settled down, Du Gang himself felt significantly more at ease, he casually asked the question.

The tension in the room had lightened considerably. Though there were streaks of sweat on everyone’s faces, smiles can be seen all around.

“At least a couple of thousand!”

“Definitely! We’ve emptied all of the books on the first and second floor. We’ve also moved quite a few from the third floor!”

Du Gang grinned and nodded appreciatively, “Well done, everyone. You’ve worked hard!”

Despite the barricade, some students were still worried. “Du Gang, are these things really going to hold?”

“Yeah, we’re not going to have to keep holding it, right?”

The thought of being a mere wall away from the beetles still sent chills down their spines.

Du Gang’s mouth lifted slightly in a smirk, he calmly said, “Usually, our school textbooks are printed on 3+1+5+7 sized double-glue paper that weighs 80g per A4 page. Generally, textbooks use 16 openings, comprising approximately three to four hundred pages, weighing almost seven to eight hundred grams, which is just over one jin…”

Everyone gaped at him in flabbergasted silence, their faces an image of respect mingled with confusion.

He glanced at the mountain of books and said nonchalantly, in the middle of their baffled expressions, “These books, even if there are only three thousand, that would weigh close to two tons. The iron door is around two meters in width and height, making it a surface area of four square meters. According to the beetles’ body shape, we know that their point of impact is on their head, which means the surface area of the door that can be affected is at most one square meter. Basically, using the formula Ft=Mv, based on my past interaction with them, their usual speed or ‘v’ is 12.34 meters/seconds, their approximate mass or ‘M’ is about 500kg, and the impact duration or ‘t’ is about 0.5 seconds. Hence, the impact force or ‘F’ is 12340N, knowing that 1kg is roughly 9.8N, we can calculate that the beetles’ impact force is around 1259.2kg, which is about 1.2 tons. Now, our school’s iron doors can, at the very least, withstand an impact of two tons based on standards. Add the nearly two tons of books we have here, do you think it’s enough to hold?”

“Holy shit, that’s brilliant!”

“Du Gang, you’re a genius!”

Everyone looked at him in admiration.

“Ha-ha!”

Du Gang chuckled lightly and did not say anything more.

Genius?

What he just explained, he had made it up on the spot, simply to lessen their fear towards the beetles.
