Ye Chong and Rui Bing returned to Ze Xi Academy looking pathetic. In the end, they were still caught in the heatwave of the explosion, covering them with dust. The ultra-strong explosives were powerful, raising a huge gray cloud that could even be seen from afar. This surprised a lot of people, not knowing what was happening. However, when Ye Chong and Rui Bing both returned looking miserable not long after the explosions, sharp people like Bi Bo immediately suspected that they might be involved with that incident.

However, he was not foolish enough to ask Ye Chong about it. Now at Ze Xi Academy, Ye Chong’s role was irreplaceable. Ze Xi Academy’s higher-ups were mostly dead from the chaos earlier. Just when everyone was feeling lost, Ye Chong had appeared like a hero, turning the tide against the mutants. Additonally, the hundreds of war mech pilots that were protecting them at the academy were all here because of Ye Chong.

Here was a powerful combatant, capable of synthesizing the strange but deadly Bluefire chemical. His background was a mystery. Now, he had become an idol for the survivors of Ze Xi Academy.

Only Ye Chong, Rui Bing and Fei Si were in the laboratory. Fei Si stared at the photon processor, her face drained of blood as she muttered, ”How could they …”

Ye Chong was also not looking so well. The three chips that he got from the underground base had all the information on the later part of their decade-long experiments. They had been experimenting on humans. No less than 300 had died from their experiments. It was terrifying.

Ye Chong frowned as he noticed Fei Si’s pale face. He spoke up, ”Now is not the time for this. Can you find a cure for the virus?” It would take time to fully digest the information in the chips, but there were more important matters to attend to.

Fei Si composed herself then, still looking a little pale, but she considered for a moment before saying, ”Once I know its structure, the rest will be easier. I’ll make the cure now.” She remembered then that many students outside could die at any moment.

She began to work in earnest. Fei Si was a real workaholic, as evident from her current single status. While her teacher had once advised her to spend more time on her personal matters, she still continued to work. After her teacher’s passing, she had dived deeper into work in her grief. However, it was her determination that led her to be as capable as she was at her young age.

Seeing Fei Si deep in concentration, Ye Chong took out the chips from the photon processor and put them in his bag. He exchanged a glance with Rui Bing, and they both left the lab.

Just as they were outside, Ye Chong and Rui Bing both heard a commotion.

When the people outside saw Ye Chong, they yelled, ”He’s here, he’s back out here.”

Ye Chong frowned. A group of people were talking with the mech pilots. The 900 mech pilots that Ye Chong brought with him had suffered greatly, losing nearly 300 lives, about a third of the entire force. The Shi Family had suffered the least, proving that they were the most combat capable of the three families.

Bi Bo approached Ye Chong and spoke softly, ”I think they’re trouble.”

Seeing Ye Chong’s arrival, the leader of the group approached Ye Chong and studied him for awhile before speaking, ”You the one who made the blue fire?” The big guy looked strong, his muscles bulging out from his combat suit.

The people around quieted down at the mention of that question. The entire academy building fell silent. Many of them looked angry, as the man had spoken rudely.

Aside from Ye Chong, Rui Bing’s eyes gleamed coldly.

Ye Chong ignored him as his eyes swept across the leaders of the three troops. The leaders of the three troops avoided his gaze.

”Who let them in?” Ye Chong asked calmly in a voice free of intonation, but his words were powerful. Everyone held their breaths.

The leaders looked away, as if they did not hear him.

Ye Chong nodded, and said plainly, ”So this is how you treat your orders. As expected of war mech pilots.” Ye Chong’s expression was empty, like he was only commenting on the weather.

The people around looked at the troop leaders with despise.
