Chapter 728: All Have Been Killed!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Species research, which seemed like a civilian job at first, suddenly turned into a combat-type specialization.
Lu Shu had wanted to play for a few years and enjoy his time in university. He wanted to sit in the laboratory and dissect new species. If there was nothing to do, he could wear his white lab coat and boast on his timeline. It would make him seem very mighty.
“Why do the researchers themselves have to catch their own specimens?” Lu Shu was furious. “Is it legal to change the contents of this course just like that?”
“I have no say in this.” Luo Nan said, “The higher ups changed the outline. Furthermore, the examinations for this specialization are more strict. If you do not pa.s.s your research report, everyone in this specialization will not be able to obtain upgraded techniques. Of course, this has its benefits. If you submit your research reports to the higher ups, they can be considered as outstanding contributions.”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. If he was the only one who did not pa.s.s the examination and obtain techniques, then so be it. He did not need techniques from the Heavenly Network either. But Nie Ting was cruel. He gathered people that Lu Shu knew. This made him apprehensive!
The war between him and Nie Ting would never end!
Chen Zuan was about to burst into tears. This was crazy!
Lu Shu suddenly asked, “Do species research specialization students in other colleges have to catch their own specimens like us?”
“Of course not.” Luo Nan smiled. “They will do research on the specimens you have captured.”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded.
Chen Zuan was dumbstruck.
Cheng Qiuqiao was speechless.
Why did they have to catch specimens for the seven major Cultivation Colleges? Not only did they not have to obtain their own specimens, Lu Shu and the rest had to do it for them!
“The name of this specialization is wrong.” Lu Shu’s expression was dark. “We should be called ‘Lei Feng 1 Team Who Catches Wild Mutated Creatures to Save Humanity’.”
“What a long name!” Luo Nan was shocked.
“Stop talking! My head hurts!” Lu Shu roared.
Cao Qingci calmly observed the situation like a pa.s.ser-by. When Lu Xiaoyu saw that Lu Shu was angry, she even wanted to take out snacks to eat. Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao looked down. Lu Shu dared to shout at the teacher, but they did not…
Everyone had gone to Europe together. They knew how fierce and tough Lu Shu was. When they walked past the photo of the Ninth Heavenly King along the corridor, they could not think of anyone who could fill in the position other than Lu Shu.
Those who knew the truth could guess this easily. Those who did not know the truth would never be able to guess who it was. As for Chen Zuan, Cheng Qiuqiao, and Cao Qingci, their confidentiality level had increased. They knew what they could tell others and what they could not.
Suddenly, people came to the door of the cla.s.sroom. It was as if a group of people wanted to surround and observe the species research specialization.
People started to discuss. “Why do they have so few people? I heard from my elder cousin that the Luzhou Cultivation College has a lot of people in the species research specialization.”
“Who knows? Maybe the people here are more pa.s.sionate, thus fewer people applied for civilian jobs.”
When Chen Zuan heard this, he was about to cry. He had wanted to get into a relations.h.i.+p after entering the Cultivation College. But now, he was in a specialization that was looked down upon. How would he be able to find a girl?
He wrote a post on his timeline. “My relatives, where are you? Hurry up and arrange a marriage for me. I’m afraid that I can’t do it by myself.”
Lu Shu immediately liked his post.
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +166!”
Luo Nan closed the door and smiled. “A refrigerator van will come every Friday afternoon to collect specimens and send them to the other six major Cultivation Colleges. Do your best, everyone.”
The people outside the cla.s.sroom crowded together and moved back and forth. They looked at the people in the cla.s.sroom as if they were looking at pandas. Lu Shu raised his eyebrows. “There’s no restriction on what kind of species we need, right?”
“There are no requirements that you have to fulfil,” replied Luo Nan. “Okay. We have very few people in our cla.s.s, so we will end our cla.s.s meeting for today. Everyone, please go and prepare. After all, my performance depends on your research as well…”
Lu Shu sat there with a complex expression on his face. Cheng Qiuqiao poked him. “Brother Shu, what should we do? There should be a few mutated animals in Luo City, right? What should we catch first?”
Lu Xiaoyu put her arms on the table and supported her chin with her hands. It was as if she was watching a movie.
Lu Shu’s expression suddenly turned to one of grief and indignation. “All the mutated creatures in Luo City have been killed!”
When the problem of mutated creatures first occurred, he got Lu Xiaoyu and Little Fury to exterminate all the mutated creatures. Anthony had done an inspection underground. A Cla.s.s B Metahuman had snuffed out even all the eggs in the ground.
The mice army had already cleaned up the sewers and the surface. There were many scorpions, but Zhong Yutang and his team had taken away the corpses. Lu Shu was still thinking that he could inject some chemicals into the scorpions and sell them. But Zhong Yutang and his team were just too fast!
Thinking about it, Zhong Yutang was probably worried that he would take the dead scorpions now to make up for the numbers!
“All have been killed? How is that possible?!” Cheng Qiuqiao was dumbfounded. “There are still mutated creatures in the provincial capital that occasionally attack people. Last night, my mom told me that a giant centipede had entered her neighbor’s home. It was frightening. Luckily the people from the Heavenly Network rushed over. There is still the problem of mice. That is the most serious one.”
“Indeed, there are no more mutated creatures in Luo City,” Cao Qingci calmly confirmed. She had wanted to kill some mutated creatures, but when she went to the streets, they were nowhere to be found. Earlier, she did not understand what exactly had happened. Now that Lu Shu had made a conclusion so clearly, she knew that it had something to do with him.
Cao Qingci did not compare herself with others. She strove to surpa.s.s herself. Comparison was a lowly interest. Surpa.s.sing yourself was a more mighty goal.
But even Cao Qingci, who stood firm on her beliefs, found it difficult to be calm and collected when facing Lu Shu.
The members of the Heavenly Network realized that Luo City was much safer than other cities. But wealthy men who feared for their lives had their eye on this security.
They had tried to recruit secret pract.i.tioners, but to speak the truth, many of these secret pract.i.tioners were pathetically weak. Their quality was worrying.
The secret pract.i.tioner would often be at a loss when they encountered these mutated creatures. They had only dealt with humans. They had no experience fighting creatures.
Thus, these wealthy men turned their attention elsewhere. They had to find the safest place to live.
