Doctors in spotless white garbs darted in and out of the wards of a steel building with floors as clean and s.h.i.+ny as mirrors. This facility was at the colony’s research inst.i.tutions in the new area outside of the Chengyang suburb.

Sitting anxiously outside the waiting room was a group of fresh-faced teenagers looking terrified and excited at the same time.

Ding! Ding! Dong!

“Number 2318, Qin Feng. Please head to injection area 3!”

“It’s my turn!” The young man got up quickly. He was so nervous that his legs were unsteady, and he tripped over himself, falling to the ground with a loud thud.

Anyone could tell just how bad that fall was.

“Ah! Qin Feng!” Zhou Hao shouted as he watched this horrifying spectacle unfold, hurrying over to help his friend.

To his surprise, Qin Feng was unconscious!

“What the h.e.l.l. What kind of joke is this, Qin Feng? How can you pa.s.s out at such an important time? Wake up! It’s your turn to get the awakening elixir injections!”

In the year 2200, the world had undergone a drastic change—mankind, after 2000 years of reign, had now fallen the bottom of the food chain.

But because sharp ability users and mighty ancient warriors as such existed among humankind, they were able to sustain lebensraum. It was also all about the premise of an awakened ability user or warrior getting the injection of awakening potion at the age of sixteen.

This meant that, at the point in time where he was in the opportunity to experience a meteoric rise in his life, Qin Feng lost consciousness instead. Zhou Hao was in a flap.

Ding-Ding Dong!

The loudspeaker chimed again, and an echoey voice hollered, “Number 2318, Qin Feng. Please head to injection area 3!”

The reverberating noise would only add a splitting headache to Qin Feng’s already chaotic mind.

‘I’m not dead?’ A thought flashed in his mind. How was he alive? When he defeated that unidentified beast king, he had died with it.

The voices in his ears were starting to sound more precise.

“Ah! You know what, Chen Ming, just come here and help me get Qin Feng there. He still has to get his injection even if he’s unconscious!” Zhou Hao lamented to the person next to him.

This had Qin Feng taken aback.

Chen Ming?! How could it be? Why was Chen Ming here? Was he the one who had brought all these dangers here?

But who was this other person fussing over him then? Why did it sound so familiar, so distinct as if it was there in his mind and yet, so far away?

Next to Qin Feng and Zhou Hao, Chen Ming’s eyes glinted.

Qin Feng, Chen Ming, and Zhou Hao were the top three students in mid-tier college.

The only thing was, Chen Ming knew that he was never going to be as good as Qin Feng or Zhou Hao.

His fists curled up momentarily. His palms were sweaty, and his eyes were gleaming.

“Zhou Hao, I don’t think that’s a good idea. The doctor will blame us. Also, we should get someone to take a look at Qin Feng, just in case he’s really hurt.” Those were all words of concern, but in reality, he wanted Qin Feng to miss his injection.

“But, this injection is a big thing…” Zhou Hao was starting to panic and was a little out of his wits.

“Let’s bring him aside so he can rest!” Chen Ming walked over and knelt to pick Qin Feng up.

“No!” The young man said hoa.r.s.ely, still a little hazy. No one knew what Qin Feng had experienced while he was unconscious.

Was it just a dream of grandeur, or was it reality?

All Qin Feng knew was that the emotions sustained from the additional past decade were all too clear in his memories.

He pushed himself off the ground. The innocence on his face had disappeared, becoming more profound. There was even a twinkle of sharpness in his gaze.

Chen Ming froze as a chill ran down his spine, making him feel as if he was standing naked before Qin Feng, all his secrets exposed, and Qin Feng seeing through all that grime in his heart.
