Chapter 16: Three Choices
Chapter 16: Three Choices
The graduation examination came to an end.
In the Evolution Camp, three students were at the center of discussions.
The first student was Huang Zirui from Class 1, ranked first in batch 101. His physical fitness score was over 160, and he had an S grade in the actual combat assessment.
The second student was Yu Shuiqin from Class 2, the best among the girls. Not only was she good at fighting, but her looks were extremely good. It was said that she could already vaguely sense the existence of Moon Web.
The third student was Wang Ye from Class 23, a classic example of a sudden prodigy from the ordinary classes. He wasn't as talented as the elite classes' students, and he didn't have good resources or conditions. However, relying on his own hard work, he fought his way to the top among 3000 students.
His S-grade combat assessment made it enough for him to enter the special departments of the Evolution Camp's three major institutions!
"Moon Web..."
Wang Ye focused his thoughts.
The sound of water trickling could be heard, and a beautiful scene appeared in his mind.
It was very moist.
Then, his consciousness flew out.
A huge amount of life force, the omnipresent cosmic energy... As well as a faintly discernible existence in the boundless sky.
Even though it was far away, he could still feel it faintly, like sunlight.
"Crack." The bathroom door was pushed open.
Shu Meng'ou, who was wrapped in a white towel, walked out. Her fair and smooth face was covered in water droplets. She smiled gently and sat beside him. "What are you thinking about?"
"Thinking about the front and back." Wang Ye blinked.
"No, I can't take it anymore." Shu Meng'ou looked at Wang Ye with her sparkling eyes. "You... Have you ever thought about which organization you would enter after becoming an Evolver?"
"That's too far away." Wang Ye grabbed her soft waist. "I have to be injected with the evolution drug and become an Evolver first. Then, I have to pass the rookie trial before I can join one of the three major Evolver organizations."
"Tell me your thoughts," Shu Meng'ou said softly.
"Hmm..." Wang Ye thought about it and said, "Of the three special departments, the Future Center of the gene park is close to home. It has the highest priority for nurturing Evolvers and has the highest degree of freedom. Other than training, I won't have to worry about anything else. All the resources will be provided by the country, which is quite good."
"The guardian department of the base defense division has the highest authority and influence among the three major evolver organizations. It has a lot of room for promotion in the future, and its resources are second only to the Future Center. I'll have to deal with all kinds of monsters, and there will be a lot of missions. Overall, it's not bad."
"As for the rescue team of the evolution camp... It's too selfless, and the missions are too complicated. I'm not considering it."
Wang Ye looked at Shu Meng'ou, who slightly lowered her head. There was a little disappointment in her voice. He knew what she was thinking.
"Don't worry. No matter where I go, our relationship won't change."
"Really?" Shu Meng'ou's eyes were filled with joy.
Wang Ye nodded.
There were two people he was most grateful to over the past month.
One was Song Shirui from the rescue team. She had saved his body in the wild so that he was not torn up by mutated monsters. If there was a chance, he must repay her!
The other was Shu Meng'ou, who had been treating him and warming him.
"Three days later, the list of people who will receive the evolution drug will be announced. I have to become an Evolver first!"
Wang Ye left Shu Meng'ou's soft embrace and continued to cultivate the Life Evolution Method.

On December 24th, the students were in their respective dorms, frantically refreshing the intranet.
At noon, the list of those who could take the evolution drug would be released!
Basically, students who had passed the comprehensive physical examination, whose physical fitness score was up to standard, and whose combat assessment was not the F grade could enter the long list.
"I got it!"
"Haha, I can become an Evolver!"
"Don't be happy too early. The mortality rate of the evolution drug is not low. Let's exchange our bank card passwords first as insurance. At least if something happens to us, the bank won't benefit from our deaths."
"Heh, your debt is already late!"
Just as the students of Class 23 were celebrating, someone suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Look, is Wang Ye not on the list of people who will receive the evolution drug?"
"Yeah, Brother Ye's ID is W1012323, right? He really isn't on the list."
"What's going on? Why can't Brother Ye be injected with the evolution drug? Could it be that his graduation examination results were so good that he was recruited by the special departments in advance?"
"B*llshit. The Evolution Camp doesn't have an early recruitment. Everyone has to be injected with the evolution drug first and participate in the rookie trial. Only after that can they join the three major organizations for Evolvers! Based on my experience, there's a high chance that Wang Ye's body has a problem."
...
"Hahahaha!"
In the dormitory, Yu Haitao could not help but laugh heartily.
He looked at the list again and again and was very sure that Wang Ye's ID wasn't on it!
The depression and unhappiness of the past few days were instantly thrown into the clouds.
Wasn't Wang Ye awesome? Wasn't he first place in the ordinary classes in terms of physical fitness? Didn't he get an S grade in the combat assessment?
What was the use?
If Wang Ye could not be injected with the evolution drug, his physical fitness score would never exceed 200 even if he cultivated the Life Evolution Technique to the limit.
In contrast, as long as he successfully completed his evolution and cultivated an advanced evolution technique, he would be able to become a genetic warrior very quickly.
At that time, he would beat up Wang Ye!
A level 1 genetic warrior's physical fitness score was at least 250!
"You're finished!"
Yu Haitao's smile was unbridled. When he became an Evolver, it would be Wang Ye's death!
...
"Good thing you held back and didn't get back together with him." Huang Ju patted her chest.
"Yeah."
Zhao Xiaoyu looked at the computer screen.
She had been conflicted about whether she should bring up the matter of getting back together with Wang Ye.
Wang Ye's calm and indifferent attitude made it impossible for her to figure out what he was thinking.
Fortunately...
"See, our decision back then was correct." Huang Ju smiled. "If he can't become an Evolver, he can only find a job after returning to the base city. He's a refugee, and his family's conditions aren't good. You'll only suffer if you're with him. You won't have a future."
"Yeah."
Zhao Xiaoyu closed her laptop. This time, she was really relieved.
The two of them were not on the same path.
After becoming an Evolver, she would be above Wang Ye.

The ground floor, the second floor of the hall.
Wang Ye pushed open the door and entered. He glanced at the three instructors at the table. On the left was the instructor of Class 23, on the right was the head instructor of all the students in batch 101, and in the middle was Instructor Xiao, who had sparred with him during the actual combat assessment.
"Sit." Head Instructor Li, who was sitting on the right, waved his hand.
Wang Ye nodded and sat down.
"Have you seen the list for the evolutionary drug?" Head Instructor Li asked.
"Yes," Wang Ye replied.
Even if Head Instructor Li didn't look for him, he still planned to ask for an answer.
Why?
"Your hair and blood test results are out. It's not up to standard. It doesn't meet the requirements for the drug." Head Instructor Li went straight to the point.
A question mark popped up in Wang Ye's head.
What? Could it be that he was Rh-negative?
"There are remnants of mutated monsters' blood crystals in your blood. To put it simply, you've been contaminated," Head Instructor Li said.
"But I didn't mutate." Wang Ye understood, but he was still a little confused.
"If the concentration of the blood crystals is not high and your body is strong enough, you might not mutate. The evolution substance contained in the evolution drug is essentially another kind of blood crystal. If you are injected with it, there is a high chance that there will be a conflict."
Wang Ye nodded.
The mutated monsters' blood crystals left in his body were most likely due to frequent injuries in his early stages of training in the wild.
"Is there a solution?" Wang Ye looked at the three instructors.
If not, they wouldn't have specially called him over.
"You have three choices." Instructor Xiao looked at Wang Ye. "First, receive treatment to remove the contaminated blood crystals in your blood. Then, you'll be injected with the evolution drug."
"How long will it take?" Wang Ye asked.
"Three months." Instructor Xiao said, "However, the blood crystals can't be completely eliminated, though at least 90% will be gone. During this period, you must stay in the camp and can't go out into the wild."
Wang Ye nodded.
"Second, give up on becoming an Evolver." Instructor Xiao's eyes flashed with regret. "Even after the surgery, there will still be some blood crystal remnants in your blood cells. The probability of your evolution failing will be much higher than that of ordinary students."
"How high?" Wang Ye asked.
"More than three times. With your current physical strength, the probability of failure is about 30%." Instructor Xiao paused. "Even if you cultivate the Life Evolution Technique to the limit and your physical fitness is close to 200, the failure rate is still around 20%."
Wang Ye nodded.
"Third, I can go through the procedures and help you apply for an evolution fruit." Instructor Xiao looked at Wang Ye. "But according to the rules, you may not have time to receive treatment. You must start evolving at the same time as the other students."
"What is the evolution probability?" Wang Ye asked.
"40% success, 30% mutation, 30% death." Instructor Xiao's words were sharp.
Wang Ye laughed.
"Then I'll have to trouble you guys." He stood up and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.
"Wang Ye, think about it again. It's better to complete the treatment and evolve after three months," Head Instructor Li said earnestly.
"No, thank you." Wang Ye declined.
Wait for three months?
In the apocalypse, every additional day meant an additional variable.
Furthermore, Yu Haitao's strength would be far ahead in three months. At that time, his death rate would only be higher.
"Since you've decided, I'll help you apply for the evolution fruit." Instructor Xiao smiled.
He admired Wang Ye's courage.
Becoming an Evolver was a path full of thorns. If one retreated in the face of difficulties, one's future achievements would be limited.
Back when they signed up for the Tinder Plan, they had absorbed the Blood Sea's water to evolve. They had truly put their life on the line!
"Thank you." Wang Ye turned around and left.
40% success rate? It was already very high.
He didn't believe that his luck would be so bad that he would die a second time.
