Chapter 710: Chapter 326 Boss’s Intuition_2

And as the "main course" ran out, some of the Experience Students affected by the rain also began to lose their composure, falling out of their state of closed eyes and tight grip on the handrails, muttering identity information. As soon as they opened their eyes, not knowing what they saw, their whole person froze. The eyeballs in their sockets trembled uncontrollably like they were twitching, rolling around aimlessly in different directions...

Their breathing began to turn abnormally heavy and rapid, and a green mist started to emanate from their bodies—a display of uncontrolled response after accepting the initial contamination. The Little Genius on May 6th, Pan Jian on May 7th, Zhou Yuting on May 8th... and some others who showed problems, even Li Huiyuan and Lin Yi at the beginning, had all gone through such a process.

However, because they had been exposed to the rain’s contamination from the start, due to their own and many complex factors, they basically had little capacity to withstand it. Like someone suddenly plunged into an ice cave, their body temperature plummeted rapidly.

Contamination... is the path to death.

Yet, for such a scene, the Boss and the Physical Education Teachers didn’t make any attempt to save them. It seemed that forcibly interfering with the process would entail no good outcome even if they were saved.

But just as the green mist on these Experience Students started to become chaotic, a few of them suddenly snapped back to their senses, as if someone who was drowning emerged struggling from the water, gasping for air, drenched in sweat all over their bodies.

But more Experience Students began to sink...

The final outcome was that nearly six hundred out of these close to a thousand Experience Students turned into something not much different from the walking dead.

And towards this result, everyone seemed calm, as though it was something they had long since grown accustomed to.

"Six hundred and seventy-eight Experience Students have suffered excessive contamination..." Mr. Wang said slowly, looking at the Experience Students in the bricks of The City Wall.

The Boss spoke indifferently: "This is already much better than we expected... Its presence has plundered too much contamination, or there would have been even more Experience Students exceeding the contamination threshold."

"And we’ve also done our best..." Mr. Zhang rubbed his shoulders, "The light of the kerosene lamps has weakened the contamination shrouding them as much as possible..."

"A measured amount of contamination is actually a tonic, pity they opened their eyes at the last moment... They were empty and couldn’t be supplemented, the fault lies with themselves, and we can’t intervene."

The Boss nodded: "Later, observe their situation a bit. If there are any who can become material for the sports department, take them directly to the basement to save the trouble of going to the Teaching Building only to be sent here by the Homeroom teachers."

"Troublesome times call for shortcuts."

"Understood." All the teachers nodded in unison. They hated roundabout and messy procedures most. The Gymnasium always stressed efficiency. What could be reviewed quickly should be done swiftly.

For others, some rules might be needed for measurement, but for them, the perception of the sports department served as the ruler.

"As for those heavily contaminated who don’t show promise as seedlings... check the external weather conditions. If the weather is normal, send them back to the Teaching Building... If they can still recognize their ’physical discomfort,’ they might also take the emergency escape clause in the Student Code to leave the campus..."

"This is the only lifeline we can secure for them... Whether they can grasp it depends on themselves."

"Understood."

"Lastly, select some with strong will and directly conscript them to serve as part of the Garrison... With the trials they faced earlier, just maintaining that state tonight will be enough to support you all in guarding The City Wall."

"If the situation worsens, aside from the Garrison, the rest of the teachers will lead Second Order and above students to support the Art Building..."

"We’ll talk about the arrangements for the Art Building at that time."

"Alright, we’ll follow your orders."

The Boss was decisive, laying out the future of the Experience Students and today’s battle plan for the Gymnasium clearly in just a few words.

Just as these arrangements were made, the Boss sensed something again and looked towards the golden light.

That golden light began to fade rapidly, disappearing out of thin air as if it had never been there.

"It’s left The City Wall Layers!"

"After the deed is done, I shall leave without pomp, concealing my achievements and fame!"

"Truly a role model for our generation!"

The Physical Education Teachers also noticed the departure of Lin Yi’s conscious essence, and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

If Lin Yi heard these sighs, he’d be so embarrassed his toes could dig out a three-room apartment...

What do you mean by leaving without pomp? It was clearly because he couldn’t get back at first that there was a subsequent plot... Of course, putting these aside, he did possess a certain consciousness.

But now, Boss had her sights firmly locked on the trajectory of the golden light...

It was indeed him... Boss narrowed her eyes slightly.

When the golden light had completely vanished, only she noticed that Lin Yi, who had previously remained motionless, suddenly moved slightly, like a porridge enthusiast who had just chugged a mug of sticky lemon tea without catching his breath, gasping heavily...

Now, it seems she had no choice but to "interrogate" him.

Boss’s eyebrows twitched, and her eyes shimmered with a strange brilliance.

However, even she failed to notice that not far from Lin Yi, Wei Liang stretched lazily and yawned, looking somewhat fatigued, like a War God who had crammed an entire semester’s worth of courses overnight just before final exams.

...

On Lin Yi’s side, as the Layers recovered, his world was soon filled with nothing but brilliant white light, and as this white light finally converged—

"Boom!"

It was as if he had ridden the Abyss Express, emerging from the boundless darkness, back into the "normal" world!

His body indeed lay sprawled over the railing at the first tier of the bleachers, his gaze focused on the rippled surface of the water. It appeared he had spaced out; everything seemed like a figment of his imagination after he had zoned out.

The only change was that all the skeletons of the Rage Angels on the field had disappeared, along with the skeletons of the Pseudo-Human Sports Students, and that ’thud, thud, thud’ of a beating heart.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

His chest heaved violently as if his Spirit had been drained, engulfed by a wave of overwhelming fatigue in an instant. It made his body shake like a wild foxtail in the wind, almost losing the strength to cling to the railing.

He felt light-headed and heavy-footed, leaning against the railing with an uncontrollable forward tilt, and indeed, he toppled over it, falling uncontrollably toward the field below...

"Darn it!"

Lin Yi sensed danger; he wasn’t afraid of landing face-first, as his Recovery Power was certainly strong enough to take it, but he worried, was the water surface really just harmless?

Could someone sink if they fell in?

Just then, he felt someone tug hard on his back, and instead of pitching forward and falling, he was pulled back, collapsing into someone’s arms like the female lead being rescued in a cliché idol drama...

As he fell, his nostrils caught a whiff of that unique and familiar faint fragrance, and in his vision, blurred from exhaustion, he could make out Boss’s fuzzy silhouette...

"Boss...?"

He murmured as if in a dream, then that sensation of fatigue swept over him like a tide from All Directions, and his heavy eyelids uncontrollably drooped, sinking into a deep sleep...
