Chapter 17: Evolution!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

December 27th, 7 am.

West Camp, ground level.

The students on batch 101’s name list arrived one after another in an orderly manner. Their expressions were all different, either nervous, afraid, expectant, or excited.

It was a huge gamble to be injected with the evolution drug.

There were three possibilities.

1. Successful evolution, where one’s gene would transform. One’s consciousness would then connect to Moon Web and become a true Evolver.

2. Mutation would occur, where a red light alarm would appear. The body would have a strong rejection reaction to the drug, and one’s genes would be destroyed, causing permanent damage to the body. That, or one’s genes would mutate and they would evolve into inhuman monsters.

3. Evolution failed, leading to death.

The reason why the death rate of the Evolution Camp students was so high was because of the evolution drug.

The students of Class 23 gathered under the guidance of their instructors.

When they saw Wang Ye, all the students had puzzled looks on their faces.

Yu Haitao was especially confused. He wanted to ask, but he was afraid that he would be slapped in the face again.

“Wang Ye, aren’t you not on the list?” Lu Yong could not help but ask.

“Yes,” Wang Ye nodded, “But the instructor helped me apply for an evolution fruit.”

There was an uproar as well as all kinds of envious, jealous, and hateful gazes.

The evolution fruit was a fruit borne by a plant that had evolved. It was very rare.

The evolution substance contained in it was gentle and easy to absorb, making the success rate much higher than the evolution drug.

Many of them knew that Yu Haitao had stolen Wang Ye’s evolution fruit.

So what?

The current Wang Ye not only surpassed Yu Haitao in all aspects.

Moreover, he didn’t need to rely on luck. Just by showing his extraordinary potential in the graduation exam, the Evolution Camp had directly given him an evolution fruit!

In the future, the gap between him and Yu Haitao would only get bigger.

In the assembly square, a ray of sunlight shone down.

The huge display screen was playing a battle between Huaxia experts and the super monsters.

Every sword and every blade seemed to be able to split the world apart, far exceeding the limits of a human.

The experts could fight in the air, traveling at light speed. Their bodies were stronger than monsters.

They were saving homeless refugees. They protected Huaxia Base City.

Wang Ye stared at the screen.

Even though he had watched it countless times, it was still thrilling and made his blood boil every time he watched it.

Although he was a little greedy and lecherous, that was human nature. It did not affect his sincere patriotic heart at all.

At the end of the video, a cold-looking young man in a black battle suit slashed out a dazzling saber in the air and killed a humanoid spider demon with eight dark green sickle limbs. The aftershock of the saber energy even flattened a skyscraper.

Not far behind him, a pure and flawless girl in white clothes spread her arms in the air. Even through the screen, one could feel the bone-piercing coldness. She froze a super monster that was several stories tall into a statue and instantly shattered it.

“The strongest person in Huaxia, and also the strongest person in humanity, Yao.”

“The number one ability user in Huaxia and the third in the world, Xue Ling.”

Of course, Wang Ye recognized them.

Currently, the two hottest heroes in Huaxia were both very young.

Both of them were not from the Evolution Camp.

The Evolution Camp was established in 2046 after the base cities were established one after another. Blue Planet Alliance began to explore the best path for human evolution in an orderly manner.

Even the first batch of students had only been cultivating for four years.

Currently, there were two types of top-notch experts in the world.

The first type was the human Evolvers who rose from chaos and despair in the year 2045 when the catastrophe first broke out. They either drank the Blood Sea’s water to evolve out of desperation or unintentionally evolved by absorbing the red rain, such as Yao.

The second type was the Evolvers from the end of 2045 to the beginning of 2046. Each country had carefully selected batches after batches of “Tinder”. They were either soldiers who were not afraid of death, patients with terminal illnesses, or refugees who had no other way out, such as Xue Ling.

“They are the pioneers of mankind, the brave warriors who opened up the road, and the strong warriors who protect Huaxia!”

The chief instructor was making the final speech. His loud and clear voice spread throughout the square and fell into the ears of every student, “In the past, the chances of survival for evolution were slim. They didn’t cultivate the Life Evolution Technique and only one in a hundred survived from drinking the Blood Sea’s water.”

“With the advancement of scientific research and the selfless dedication of Evolvers, the research institute used the blood of Evolvers as a source to extract evolution substances, researching and improving generations of evolution drugs. The body’s rejection of the drug has thus been greatly reduced, and the compatibility has become higher. The possibility of evolution has been greatly increased!”

“Now, with the Life Evolution Technique, the failure rate of the fifth-generation evolution drug has been reduced to the minimum. However, all of you still need to remember that you must not give up when you are faced with a desperate situation. You must persevere with your determination and win, just like the ancestors of Huaxia!”

“Now, I announce the start of the evolution!”

…

The ten medical cabins started working at the same time.

The students lined up with anticipation.

The injections were carried out in an orderly manner.

The students on their turn would enter a fully-enclosed medical cabin, isolated from the outside world.

Researchers monitored and recorded the data in the medical cabins while medical staff treated the patient.

If the student mutated into a non-human monster, the genetic warriors in the cabin would kill it mercilessly.

Lu Yong had told Wang Ye all this with a trembling voice.

He was very nervous.

Who wouldn’t be nervous for the first time?

Once the needle was inserted, would the process stop if the bleeding didn’t? Would one panic if one didn’t bleed at all?

“Don’t think too much. I have to become an Evolver first!”

Yu Haitao’s ID was W1012315, ahead of Wang Ye.

Although the matter of Wang Ye obtaining an evolution fruit made him very uncomfortable, he had to force himself not to think about it.

The lesson of the combat assessment was still fresh in his mind.

Yu Haitao took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Then, he strode into the medical cabin.

Half an hour later.

“W1012323, Wang Ye.”

The crew opened the hatch.

Wang Ye nodded and entered after verifying his identity.

Pa!

The cabin door closed and locked with a ding.

There was the strong smell of disinfectant mixed with a hint of blood.

Wang Ye’s gaze swept over the white cabin, the inside of which was equipped with a disinfecting and purifying machine, as well as a huge CT-like machine in the center of the cabin.

On the left was a researcher wearing glasses, and on the right was a fully armed medical staff.

A tall man in horned armor stood by the wall. He had his arms crossed and his eyes were closed. He was expressionless, but he gave off great pressure.

A genetic warrior of the West Camp. He was there to prevent accidents or mutations from happening during the evolution process.

“Take off your shoes and lie down,” The male doctor said to Wang Ye.

Kakakaka!

Four rings sounded. Wang Ye’s hands and feet were fixed. A buckle appeared at his waist and connected to the computer data.

“Buzz,” The machine rolled his body into the machine.

The injection was carried out in a completely enclosed environment. It was purely machine-operated to avoid human error and the possibility of genetic mutation.

The light in front of Wang Ye gradually disappeared and was replaced by the cold interior of the machine.

Wang Ye’s heartbeat accelerated slightly. The metal plate behind his head slowly fell, and only the sound of breathing could be heard in the confined space.

“Open your mouth,” A voice rang out.

Wang Ye opened his mouth and a mechanical arm grabbed a round fruit. Before he could see the fruit, it had already been put into his mouth.

Uh… It’s not easy to swallow food while lying down!

Wang Ye had just finished complaining in his heart when the fruit melted in his mouth.

In an instant, a huge amount of energy surged into his body and spread throughout his entire body!

It was here!

…

“Another evolution fruit.”

“He’s different from the one just now. The fruit was given to him by the Evolution Camp.”

The two doctors looked at the screen and chatted.

“Hmm? Why is the success rate so low, only 45%?”

The researcher didn’t even raise his head as he said, “He has the mutated monsters’ blood crystals in his body, so there are many more variables.”

“The probability is just a reference. It’s not accurate. According to the current big data, the success rate of the first batch of experts who used the Blood Sea’s water to evolve might not even be 1%.”

The female doctor looked at the bull-horn genetic warrior leaning against the wall and said, “The injection for batch 101 is almost done. Captain Tong, what do you think of this batch of seedlings? How many of them can enter your rescue team?”

The bull-horned genetic warrior opened his eyes and said expressionlessly, “They’re just a bunch of cowards who have never left the base city. They don’t know how scary the real monsters are. Rescue team? They have to survive the rookie trial first.”

“Beep beep beep!”

As he spoke, the machine suddenly sounded an alarm and lit up a red light. The medical staff’s expressions changed instantly and they quickly got into position.

The bull-horned genetic warrior raised his head. His tall and muscular body stood upright, and his ice-cold eyes emitted a cold light.

The red light alarm meant that the student had mutated in the evolution process!

There were only two possibilities.

Either the student’s genes would be destroyed and his body would be permanently damaged, or his genes would mutate and he would evolve into an inhuman monster.

“Wait a little longer,” The researcher who monitored the data from beginning to end and adjusted his glasses, “The blood crystals are still reacting in the body, and the process hasn’t ended yet. The student’s life is in good condition, and his will is very strong.”

…

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

Wang Ye’s limbs shook uncontrollably. He clenched his jaw, his eyes bloodshot.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was stuck, he might have already broken free from the restraints and was on the verge of going berserk.

Powerful and terrifying energy circulated in his body, but it seemed like it couldn’t find a home or a place to rest. Wang Ye was covered in blood and was trapped.

He vaguely knew what had happened, but he could not believe it.

Only a line of words appeared in his mind: The heavens were jealous of talents!

“Will!”

Wang Ye gritted his teeth and his eyes were filled with determination.

He would first use his strong will to survive!

If his evolution failed, then so be it.

As long as he could survive this, he would have a chance to turn things around!

Give up?

Absolutely not!

“F*ck, what a great injustice! I really want to become an Evolver! Damn it! I can’t accept this! I must survive! I haven’t married yet! I haven’t played with Doctor Shu in her uniform yet! I haven’t found a second, third, or fourth mistress! I haven’t had a threesome yet! Blonde beauties! Internation models! Lesbians! Anime girls! Furry… No, moe girls! I haven’t done it with female celebrities either!”

Wang Ye’s strong will to survive made every part of his blood boil, unyielding.

Ripples appeared in the depths of his mind, and a spot of light that Wang Ye was familiar with appeared.

His talent, the interface!

It was a shining ball of light that looked like a jade carving. It was pure and flawless, and he seemed to vaguely see the number “6”.

Shortly after, the jade ball of light emitted a dazzling light. A tremendous amount of energy was released, and the depths of his brain were greatly expanded. The depths of his soul were shaking!

In that instant, his consciousness became extremely clear, and his life was sublimated at this moment.

[Awakened ability user]

[Initial Life → Beginner Planet Sub-level Life]

His evolution was successful!

Wang Ye was pleasantly surprised when he saw the familiar notifications in front of him.

As expected, his cheat… No, his talent was reliable!

Although it was very different from what he had expected, the result was very impressive!

Not only did he complete his evolution, but he also awakened a rare ability among beginner Evolvers.

He had become an ability user!
