After the Global Evolution, I Stand at the Top of the Food Chain

eam would have a support system member while going out for missions. Dont let him occupy the precious spot of a support system Enlightened!” 

Everytime one talked about Lu Yan, Metal Fist would now always stay silent and instead increase his own amount of training.

He didnt really understand. His figure was two times that of Lu Yan, and their spiritual power threshold was almost the same. His awakened ability was even a combat system ability that had a high rank. Logically speaking, he should be the top of the same batch of students. Why couldnt he defeat Lu Yan? 

As the person who scored the second highest in the college entrance examination, Director Hu was not performing well in the learning process. 

He had thought of quitting countless times, but when he thought of his grandsons school district accommodation in the Imperial Capital and his sons residence in Magic City which were not yet settled, he could only grit his teeth and continue on. 

With a good performance, it was obvious that one would obtain rewards. Other than the 10 points given at the end of every month, from the second week onwards, there would be staff members sending him medicated bath packets every night. 

[Its used to strengthen the body, made with a lot of items from Pollutants. Its not nice to drink.]

The scent of medicinal herbs could be smelled as it was thrown into the bathtub. The Kingfish licked it once out of curiosity but vomited it out uncontrollably after a short while.

Lu Yan placed his arm out of the bathtub, letting it vomit as much as it liked. 

Luckily there was no surveillance installed in the bathroom. 

“Is it really that disgusting?” Lu Yan felt that it was quite fragrant from the smell. 

However, he wasnt a person who sought death. He didnt have the intention to drink his own bath water. However, one day, Lu Yan was too tired from training and accidentally slept in the bathtub. The water flowed into his gills from the back of his ears, it tasted a lot like  sewage. 

The first month of training passed with the students wailing. 

The theory classes ended and everything turned into practical classes. Everyone was so tired that they didnt even have any more energy to cry and wail over it.

Time quickly passed and there was only one week left until the actual combat drill. 

Two months of training was not considered long, but for Chen Anzhi who was enthusiastic and had a good personality, he had made many “good friends” in school.

It was as if there was some kind of magic power on him. No matter male or female, all were attracted to him when they got close.

However, Lu Yan was not interested in this kind of people who only acted pitiful. 

If he were to say his type, his sense of beauty was more traditional. He liked ones that had a big chest and a thin waist. 

As he thought about this, Instructor Tang, whose waist looked particularly thin, came over with his dog. 

Xiao Tian opened its mouth, “Congratulations on completing the first phase of learning. In this month, only two students took the initiative to quit and there are no students who have zero points. This makes me really proud.

“Being in this training centre headquarters, everyone is not aware of what is happening outside, but I can tell you guys. In the months that had passed, 64 new pollution disease cases had appeared. More than 7, 000 normal people had died, while 6 Enlighteneds also passed away. Among them, theB-Level Infectious Disease Cannibalism case itself caused more than 5000 deaths in the polluted cities.

“From the second phase, you will need to prepare for the final actual combat drill. This time, after discussing, the location we chose is in P City, which is also where the A-level pollution area, “Luochuan Botanical Garden” is located. But please dont worry, we are not going into the garden too deeply. Instead, the Headquarters found that in the periphery of the botanical garden, the spore infection was showing signs of spreading, so they are preparing to send people in to clean it up. Not only you guys, but the instructors will also be  accompanying you.”

As it was talking, there were staff members walking in while carrying two heavy metal cabins. 

Lu Yan was familiar with this kind of metal cabin. 

When he was in the hospital, the officer who got polluted was also carried in by others like this. 

The staff member said, “Let me introduce: this is a distorted person polluted by spore infection. Its in the second phase.” 

Talking about the distorted people, many people present were reminded of memories that were not that pleasing. 

People who could become Enlighteneds had exposed themselves to pollution sources before. Many people only joined the division after they were saved by the members of the SpecOps Division. 

The hatch opened slowly and the distorted person inside was shown. 

The persons expression was frightening, but their body was locked in the cabin. His whole person was extremely skinny while white-spotted red mushrooms grew all over their person in contrast.  

It was the red mushroom commonly seen in fairytales.2 It was called the Muscaria, which belonged to one of the Amanita. 

These mushrooms even grew out from their eye sockets, and under them was a navy coloured fungal root system. 

“People who are polluted by this kind of spore infection will show three characteristics. This is the most common one, becoming the culture medium of the poisonous mushroom. Despite that, the mushrooms grown on the body still belong to the plant category and can be made into medicine.”

The System added a sentence indifferently, [Many of the research achievements by the Research Institute were obtained from Pollutants like these distorted people.]

“This type of distorted people basically arent offensive. But youll need to be careful of the mushrooms growing on them. Some of them are deadly and poisonous, some also have hallucination properties.“

The second hatch was opened. Surprisingly, the first thing that came out was a rhizome in its root form.

The root quickly stretched outwards. Tang Xunan took a glance, drew out Yellow Dust from his waist, and directly cut it off from its root source. 

A scream of agony echoed out from the cabin. Few wisps of defeated aura dissipated along the wound. In a short time, the root aged and regenerated, then finally, it wilted and dried out completely. 

This was the power of Time. 

The staff member opened the hatch with lingering fear. Inside was a human that looked like ginseng. Its whole body had already dried and wilted, it had probably struggled before it died, because its dried out roots were twisted in the air. 

“This is the second type of distorted person, we call them Vegetative. They like to be active in the daytime and have a strong life force. Their aggressiveness is higher but it isnt that contagious.

“In response to this, the Research Institute had developed a special pesticide for these situations. The mission of our actual combat drill is to enter the pollution area with the instructors and spray the pesticides in groups.” Xiao Tian raised up his paw and said solemnly, “This is also the only mission. Theres no competition, and theres no need for everyone to compete with each other. If uncontrollable danger occurs in the pollution area, we will inform you to retreat immediately.

“But even if this is the case, I still want to clarify that there are students who die at the last stage almost every year. Not only for the actual combat drill this time, from now on, when you go out for missions, there will always be a possibility of sacrifice.”

The classroom was in silence, and the atmosphere turned heavy. 

Just after Xiao Tian finished speaking, the chief instructor who had never spoken much during the whole training period suddenly said, “Ive lived 84 years like that.”  

Until now, some students were surprised to realize that Tang Xunan was not mute. 

Tang Xunan looked at the batch of new recruits below and said earnestly, “I dont have any complaints, but Im sure many people here cant accept it. You can still quit now if you want to.”  

Director Hu felt like raising his hand, but when he looked around, it looked like no one was planning to escape from this, so he could only use his left hand to grab his right hand with a miserable expression. 

He was almost 50 years old this year. Before he came here, he even had a beer belly, but after training for two months, muscles could be seen on his body after removing his clothes. Everyone would say that he was hale and hearty despite his age.

A smirk that couldnt be seen clearly still hung on the corner of Chen Anzhis lips. In these two months of training, he had obtained a lot as well. In his previous dream, the mighty god even touched his head as an encouragement. 

Metal Fist clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with determination. Although there werent any requirements in this mission, he swore that he would be the sanitation worker who sprayed pesticides the most. 

Lu Yan had already earned 29 points, only 1 point left and he could buy the silver bow. Of course, he wouldnt quit. 

For the other students, they simply thought they only needed to remove the pollution at the periphery and stop the pollution source from spreading. 

While for Tang Xunan, his mission was to delve deep into the botanical garden and completely clean up the A-Level Pollutants in it. 

The mutation of the animals and plants in P City had become more serious. If they didnt take action now, hundreds and thousands of people nearby would have their lives threatened. 

Nobody quit. They had already come this far, once they quit, their points would be cleared down to zero. It would be a loss no matter what. 

The System tsked, [When saying this, he should keep his sword first, ah.]
