After more than 20 minutes, the fire was finally put out.
“Check for any survivors!” the thick-browed man said with a grave expression, his eyes seemingly filled with sorrow.
Others showed different emotions—some shared his sad gaze, while others had a faint glint of excitement.
A group scattered and searched the area where the helicopter wreckage was strewn.
“This was my find…”
“d.a.m.n it, give me half…”
Most people didn’t take the thick-browed man’s words to heart and instead started to fight over the valuable items from the helicopter.
Just then, someone shouted excitedly.
“Genetic Elixir!”
The scream caught everyone’s attention.
Even the thick-browed man couldn’t help but drop the body he was holding and came over.
A few people were wrestling over a box charred as black as coal.
The thick-browed man hurried over and stopped the fight.
“What’s going on?!”
“Brother Yi, I found it first, he’s trying to rob me…” a boy hunched over and clutching the black box tightly in his arms, cried out anxiously.
“Bulls.h.i.t, I saw it first…” another boy retorted relentlessly.
Others also began to speak up, claiming they had seen it too and deserved a share.
Hearing the cacophony of voices, the thick-browed man became extremely irritated, yet he tried to mediate in a helpless tone, “Stop fighting…”
After repeating himself several times to no avail, the thick-browed man felt helpless and returned to the body he was checking, trying to see if the person could still be saved.
After a while, as no consensus had been reached, the people approached the thick-browed man again.
“Brother Yi, this item is too precious, you’re the fairest, you divide it for us…”
The thick-browed man once again laid down the body, looked around and asked, “How many vials of genetic elixir are there inside?!”
“Three!”
The man holding the box said.
” Is there anything else around?!”
“I don’t know if they can still be used…” Another man was also holding a shattered box, with many people gathered around.
In his hands, there was a syringe with a broken gla.s.s needle.
“That definitely can’t be used!”
The thick-browed man shook his head, warning, “Everyone, don’t be reckless. Injecting genetic elixir carries a risk of death, and it’s not guaranteed that whoever gets it will become enhanced…”
With these words, the crowd calmed down, no longer as noisy as before.
“Brother Yi, what should we do then?!”
“Let’s do this according to our school’s rules, we distribute rewards based on contribution…”
“As for these three vials of genetic elixir, Sun Hao, since you found the box first, you have the priority to choose whether or not to inject…”
“The rest will be auctioned off according to the school credits…”
Following the thick-browed man’s words, others also gradually accepted this method of distribution and began to search for other materials with focus.
It was only then that the thick-browed man finally got hold of the charcoal-like box.
The three syringes identical to the genetic elixir he had injected before.
“Brother Yi, if I choose not to inject it, how many school credits would that count for me?!” Sun Hao excitedly asked from the side.
“That, we’ll discuss after we get back, depending on the auction results…”
Soon, the crowd had finished scouring the helicopter wreckage, gathered all useful items and was ready to head back.
Thick-browed man called out to the people, “Wait, take these bodies with us and bury them in the back mountain of the school…”
“Brother Yi, these are outsiders’ bodies, isn’t it inappropriate to bury them at our school?!”
“They are humans too!” the thick-browed man uncharacteristically showing some anger.
The others could only follow his instructions and carry the bodies that had perished in the helicopter crash.
The group made their way back to the school in a formidable procession. They had just entered the school gates when another large group of female students came up to them.
“Brother Yi, what happened?!”
“It’s a helicopter from the Reed Group crashed nearby, there were no survivors!”
At this moment, Sun Hao who was quick to speak, blurted out, “I found three vials of genetic elixir!”
“What?!” Everyone was shocked, and they all started asking about the situation. “Let’s go back first, we’ll talk once we’re back!” Seeing that the crowd was about to get worked up again, the thick-browed man quickly interjected and pointed towards the distant building.
This time, no one caused a fuss, and they all followed the thick-browed man to the cafeteria hall.
The black box containing the genetic elixir was reluctantly placed on a table against the wall by Sun Hao.
The thick-browed man stood in front of the table, looking at the cafeteria filled with people, “Everyone, the biggest gain from our trip this time is three vials of genetic elixir…”
“Due to the rarity, importance, and special nature of this item, we will auction it…”
“I’ve looked at them, and these three vials of genetic elixir seem to be agility-enhancing elixir, similar to the one I’ve used before…”
“But I want to remind everyone, the mortality rate from using genetic serum is not low, so be sure to auction cautiously…”
As he said this, the crowd that had been excited before now hesitated.
The crowd below started whispering among themselves again, seemingly considering whether or not to bid in the auction..
