"Identity check, please show your documents," Ding Huan heard as two men were checking a girl’s identity documents opposite him.
Ding Huan sighed. He hadn’t planned to leave.
The train was departing in ten minutes, and he only needed five minutes to board. He had to catch this train, as it was the fastest way to Yiling City.
It was just a matter of a few minutes.
The girl’s identity documents were fine, and the two men walked towards Ding Huan.
Ding Huan realized that of the two checking the documents, only one was actually doing so—he was a man in his twenties.
The other was a station security officer, simply accompanying the young man in checking the documents.
Ding Huan immediately understood the situation, as the Genetic Alliance, although a global organization, ultimately couldn’t intervene directly in checking documents.
Therefore, it was necessary for station staff to accompany them.
"Hello, please show your documents," the young man approached Ding Huan.
Without any hesitation, Ding Huan took out his ID card.
With only a few minutes left, he planned to have the two gentlemen checking his identity documents sit with him for a while, and as soon as the train arrived, he would leave.
The only advantage was that Antonio hadn’t come personally. If Antonio had come, then he likely wouldn’t be able to continue on this train.
Lu River person, Ding Xiaotu?
The young man saw the name and location on Ding Huan’s ID and was instantly stunned, then his eyes lit up.
Ding Xiaotu was Ding Huan—almost the entire world knew that. Ding Huan’s name was Ding Xiaotu when he was a student, which he changed to Ding Huan after leaving school.
And this name, Ding Huan, had resounded all over Pu Hai during the enrollment assessment at the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges.
Ding Huan showed no expression.
Just when he thought the young man was going to make a move, he instead heard him say to the accompanying staff member, "Captain Qi, can you help me continue checking the others? I have something to handle."
After finishing, he excitedly said to Ding Huan, "You don’t recognize me, do you? I am Kong Dan."
Ding Huan was puzzled. What did this guy mean?
However, Captain Qi didn’t mind and had already moved on to someone else. Meeting an old friend at the station was a common occurrence.
Once Captain Qi left, the young man named Kong Dan excitedly said, "Mr. Ding, I have long admired you."
"You don’t plan to capture me?" Ding Huan looked puzzled at the excited Kong Dan in front of him.
Kong Dan snorted, "I’d have to be crazy to capture you; it’s those dogs of the Genetic Alliance who are after you."
"You’re not with the Genetic Alliance?" Ding Huan was even more confused as he thought that the young man checking the identity documents was from the Genetic Alliance, and that Captain Qi was a station security officer.
Kong Dan shook his head, "Don’t think I am not fused with an Alien Gene. Even if I were, I wouldn’t admire such a selfish organization.
It seems someone wiped out the leaders of the Genetic Alliance in one fell swoop, and with the Alliance Hierarch Shi Changqian not in Pu Hai,
Antonio had to check at various stations but couldn’t find anyone to connect with in the short term. Since no one could help, they had to contact our Security Department first. I’m just here to make up the numbers, don’t take it seriously."
Though he said so, Kong Dan had already guessed that it was Ding Huan who had killed all those Genetic Alliance members back at their stronghold.
He was already thoroughly restraining his excitement.
An idol, indeed, who had done what he had neither dared nor had the capacity to do.
Ding Huan realized he had killed almost all the leaders of the Genetic Alliance who were still in Pu Hai.
Although Antonio and Qin Qiang were also from the Genetic Alliance, they were more like figureheads using the name of the organization.
They hadn’t figured out the internal personnel deployment of the Genetic Alliance in the short term. Thus, in their urgency, they had to seek help from the Security Department to check identities.
"Passengers boarding Train 701 to Jingchuan, please prepare to board; the train will depart in five minutes…"
The announcement echoed in the waiting hall.
Ding Huan took out a piece of paper, wrote a few words on it, and handed it to Kong Dan, saying, "I have to go now. If I ever come back to Lu River, you can find me at Yujiang University in Lu River."
"Mr. Ding, can I study at Yujiang University?" Kong Dan seemed flabbergasted as though a huge cake had hit him.
Who wouldn’t want to learn under Ding Huan now, and his dream was suddenly coming true.
Ding Huan laughed heartily, "Of course, you can. However, I’m not sure when I will return; it might even take a year or two."
"Okay, okay, I can wait…" Kong Dan was somewhat incoherent.
Originally ready to take action, Ding Huan now entered the train to Yiling City without any impediments.
…
The Baiyu Group in Lu River, which developed and manufactured the Selu Genetic Potion that delayed aging and promoted longevity, experienced a disastrous outbreak.
This resulted in tens of thousands of deaths within just a few days.
And that was just the beginning; from the day the Selu Genetic Potion caused issues, thousands of people died daily, a process that would continue for several months.
Fortunately, Baiyu Group’s production capacity was limited; if they had been able to produce more, the daily death toll would have skyrocketed.
Due to the release of Baiyu Group’s Celuo Genetic Potion, it would be snatched up instantly, and wouldn’t be stocked for even a day.
Three days after Baiyu Group’s collapse, all the leaders of Baiyu Group had perished.
Some said they died out of fear, others said they were killed.
This incident caused a collapse within Baiyu Group; a well-known company from Lu River vanished in just a day.
Baiyu Group’s chairman, Ding Jie, disappeared, but now no one cared about this, as the whole world was in panic.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
Everyone who had taken Baiyu Group’s Celuo Genetic Potion was waiting for death. As soon as the time came, they would inevitably die bleeding from every orifice.
Compared to the total demise of Baiyu Group’s executives, the trouble at Genetic Alliance was even more terrifying.
At the Genetic Alliance headquarters in the East Communication Gene Center Building in Pu Hai, there is no need to mention the members who died because of the Celuo Genetic Potion.
What unsettled everyone was that nearly all the leaders of the Genetic Alliance also perished in the conference room on the top floor of the East Communication Gene Center Building.
Even more mysterious was the variety of ways these people died. The first, naturally, was death from taking the Celuo Genetic Potion.
In addition to this method, a few people died from gunshot wounds, and two were killed by knives.
The rest seemed to have also died from a Genetic Potion, the scenes of their deaths even more horrifying.
On the surface, all appeared normal, but as soon as their bodies were moved, they dissolved into filthy water like mud.
Upon learning that the Genetic Alliance was wiped out, the Alliance Hierarch, Shi Changyi, was furious and wanted to take lives.
He immediately rushed back to Pu Hai, but forget about catching the criminal—it was impossible even to find a member of Genetic Alliance to ask about the situation.
...
Now, not just in Pu Hai but everywhere, people were distressed because of the Celuo Genetic Potion.
Baiyu Group had sold a million doses of the Celuo Genetic Potion from its development to the outbreak of issues. Even if only half of these were consumed, it was terrifying.
This chaos did not heavily affect the recruitment examination of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges.
Aside from a half-day halt on the first day, the fourth round of recruitment exams continued and even finished ahead of schedule.
Although the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges completed their recruitment examination in Pu Hai, the incidents in Pu Hai this time were too numerous and the deaths were countless.
It was unprecedented for a city to see so many deaths without the assault of a Genetic Beast.
Thus, as soon as the recruitment exam was completed, the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges started their recruitment work.
Today was the important day for the students attending the recruitment exam of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, a time for students to choose their college.
In the main hall on the first floor of the Pu Hai Pearl Building, the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges were listed at the very top, each with several recruitment teachers.
In most colleges, even the deans were sitting there.
Even if a dean couldn’t make it due to some urgent matters, at least a vice dean would be there.
The recruitment teachers, mostly cultivation instructors from various colleges, were mainly there to pick the students they preferred.
The future height of a college’s development largely depends on the quality of its students.
Students who ranked in the top 500 in the four rounds of exams also came here to pick their desired colleges.
The recruitment examination process of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges could aptly be described as "selecting one out of ten thousand," so the elimination rate was astonishingly high.
Every student who made it into the top 500 was no ordinary person.
However, once they reached the top 500, the treatment they received compared to before the exams was worlds apart.
Here, not only could the Ten Great Colleges actively choose their students, but the students could also pick their colleges. Only after each party reached an agreement was the student’s college confirmed.
Any student who made it here didn’t have to worry about not being wanted by any college, because even the last ranked student would be recruited by a college.
This was mandatory; if there were any students left unselected by their desired colleges and the colleges still had vacancies, they had to be matched with each other.
Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lv Zi, upon entering, instantly caught the attention of almost all the college recruitment instructors.
In this exam, Lv Zi ranked first overall, Li Wanran third, and Fang Chong fourth.
Such students were naturally desired by all colleges.
"Which college do you want to go to, Fang Chong?" Li Wanran quietly asked beside Fang Chong.
Fang Chong surveyed the room and replied, "Let’s see their offers first; sometimes it’s not always about the rank of the college but what it can offer you."
Fang Chong remembered what Ding Huan had told him: not to blindly pursue college rankings but to consider what a college can offer you.
Of course, he definitely planned to choose Da Han Yi Academy in the end.
"Fang Chong, Li Wanran, Lv Zi, long time no see, congratulations on reaching here," a clear voice rang out.
Following the voice was a voluptuously shaped woman with a beautiful face.
Li Wanran promptly bowed in greeting, "Greetings, Dean Qin."
Though teacher Geng Qianxing had said that this Dean Qin Qiang was scheming against Mr. Ding Huan behind his back, it was still necessary to show sufficient respect in person.
Fang Chong did not bow but simply echoed Li Wanran’s greeting with, "Greetings, Dean Qin." Though he internally criticized Qin Qiang, he dared not show disrespect here.
Following Fang Chong, Lv Zi, seeing Fang Chong didn’t bow, also simply greeted with a call, "Dean Qin."
