Chapter 696: 696 Dominant! Sudden Change [2 More]

Last century, the Global Center was also very turbulent, and Principal Nero was one of those who had truly been on the battlefield.

Don’t be fooled by his current desk job, if it came to real guns and bullets, he would not back down.

Some of his students also inherited his temperament, and Christine was among them.

Many years ago, when Dean Mans was still a student, he also listened to Principal Nero’s lectures.

Although not a direct disciple, from another perspective, he was indeed a student of Principal Nero.

Calling him an "old buddy" would be overestimating himself.

Dean Mans was silent for a moment, finally speaking: "Professor Nero, the DS virus is very serious. Until it is completely eradicated, I really can’t let them out of Zone N."

Principal Nero’s gaze turned cold.

"But before that, please rest assured, Professor Nero," Dean Mans continued, "The oxygen in Zone N is very sufficient, as long as they are not infected with the DS virus, I will definitely let them go."

"Absurd!" Principal Nero was furious, "You have no right to decide the children’s lives! Release them immediately!"

"Professor Nero!" Dean Mans fearlessly met his gaze, "I am the chief dean, responsible for the entire International Strategic Studies Institute, and I must be accountable to the researchers in all fifteen zones."

The two elderly men were so sharply opposed for the students of Yunjing University, which surprised the others present.

"Dean Mans!"

At this moment, a voice broke the tense and frozen atmosphere.

Dean Mans and Principal Nero both turned back, both startled: "Xingli?"

"Dean, the DS virus did not leak," Yeh Xingli glanced coldly at Bo Gaolang, "I specifically checked around, took the DS virus out of Zone N, please verify."

Bo Gaolang couldn’t help but roar, "Yeh Xingli, in front of the dean and Principal Nero, you’re still talking nonsense! You obviously entered Zone N, and it hasn’t reopened. How did you come out? I have reason to suspect you are a traitor!"

Seeing the container in Yeh Xingli’s hand, Dean Mans was shocked: "Careful! Wait, you went into Zone N? Xingli, you’re crazy!"

Yeh Xingli was the darling of the Mechanical Weapons Institute, and this dean was truly of the same generation as Principal Nero.

"Nonsense?" Yeh Xingli sneered, "Is it really me talking nonsense, or are you Bo Gaolang disseminating false edicts to settle personal scores?"

"Yeh Xingli!" Bo Gaolang was even angrier, "Shut up!"

"If the DS virus really leaked, then how come walking around Zone N, I’m not showing any symptoms yet?" Yeh Xingli ignored Bo Gaolang, but turned to Dean Mans, "Dean, you know how dangerous the DS virus is."

If someone is exposed to the DS virus, symptoms will manifest within ten minutes, and in two hours, they will die due to extreme pain.

Dean Mans was well aware of the tragedy caused by the DS virus at that time.

Upon hearing Yeh Xingli’s words, his face immediately darkened: "Xingli is right, clearly, the DS virus didn’t leak. Gao Lang, what is going on?"

"Dean!" Bo Gaolang panicked and hurriedly said, "But the system issued a warning confirming that the DS virus leaked, that’s why I sealed off Zone N, I absolutely had no intention of settling personal scores!"

Of course, he did intend to use this as an opportunity to punish some disobedient people, but he wouldn’t voice his deepest thoughts.

"Who knows if you’ve betrayed the institute," Yeh Xingli retorted, "Open the door and let them out now!"

Dean Mans also issued the order: "Open Zone N. Bo Gaolang, you need to cool down; there are many things you are no longer suitable to do."

Implying that he would be removed from his position as head of Zone N.

Bo Gaolang’s face turned ashen: "Dean!"

But Dean Mans didn’t pay him any more mind, instead breathing a sigh of relief and said to Principal Nero: "Professor Nero, it was a misunderstanding. I will severely punish those involved, please follow me."

Principal Nero cast a glance at Bo Gaolang.

That glance alone sent a chill from Bo Gaolang’s heart to the top of his head.

His legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Useless waste," Yeh Xingli stepped over him and left.

[Crisis resolved! Entry and exit channels have been opened, please move in an orderly fashion to prevent trampling.]

After Zone N was closed for a full three hours, the researchers were speculating whether the institute would soon drop a weapon here to completely eliminate them and the entire Zone N.

The mechanical voice of the system that sounded again was like heavenly music.

"We’re saved!" Someone stood up excitedly, "We can get out!"

"Did someone stop the DS virus from leaking?"

"Could it be that girl from Shenzhou? She’s the only one who got out!"

Indeed, everyone remembered the scene of Ye Wanlan exiting.

But she returned silently, without alerting anyone else.

"Wanlan, did you succeed?" A girl asked incredulously, "We can get out!"

"Yes, we can go out," Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, "There will be no problem, on the contrary, the International Strategic Studies Institute will have to compensate us."

The people from Yunjing University followed the crowd outside.

Seeing them come out, Principal Nero’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed: "Although the DS virus is intact, a full medical examination is still necessary, Mans."

"Of course," Dean Mans agreed, "In this regard, Professor Nero, you can rest assured."

"Is it Ye Wanlan?" Principal Nero looked kindly, "I also watched the program you starred in, Treasures of The Divine Land, a very wonderful show. You have been frightened this time, I will give you an explanation."

"Thank you, Principal Nero," Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "We do indeed need an explanation."

Although they killed Ge Ya, someone within the International Strategic Studies Institute must have colluded with her internally.

If not eradicated, it will lead to bigger disasters.

"Go for a check-up first," Principal Nero said, "Where is Xingli? He was in Zone N for a long time, he should also be checked."

Dean Mans said, "Xingli went to see Senior Yuan."

"I see," Principal Nero nodded, "After this matter is handled, I will also chat with Old Yuan."

Meanwhile, Yeh Xingli returned to the Mechanical Weapons Institute.

"Teacher!" He shouted before entering the door, "Teacher, I have something very important to tell you!"

However, there was no response.

Yeh Xingli found it a bit odd.

Given Professor Yuan’s character, he should have been impatiently out by now.

The office door was ajar, Yeh Xingli’s expression shifted slightly, and he pushed it open.

It was empty inside, files scattered on the ground, and the chair had fallen over.

What’s going on?!

Yeh Xingli was momentarily dazed.

"Professor Ye!" At this moment, the assistant screamed joyfully, as if seeing a savior, "You’re finally back, just now Dean Yuan was taken away!"

Yeh Xingli’s pupils constricted, and what he was holding dropped to the ground: "What did you say? What happened to the teacher?"

"They, they said Dean Yuan committed a serious mistake," the assistant stammered, "They didn’t say what, forcibly took Dean Yuan away."

"Impossible, someone must be framing the teacher!" Yeh Xingli took a deep breath and punched the wall, "The teacher was just about to retire, why won’t they let him go!"

The internal struggles within the International Strategic Studies Institute were no less than those at Yunjing Research Institute, and the tactics were even more insidious.

Given Dean Yuan’s age, he was supposed to have retired over a decade ago.

But due to his outstanding abilities, he was rehired by the International Strategic Studies Institute.

The assistant’s voice was nearing tears: "Professor Ye, what should we do? This time for Old Yuan might be..."

Yeh Xingli was also panicked.

"What’s wrong?" A voice sounded behind him.

Yeh Xingli turned around: "Sister YN?"

"Yes," Ye Wanlan said with one hand in her pocket, "Tell me, and I’ll take care of it."
