9 Experiments

◎Run to the edge of the field and act like a snake◎

How can I not believe it?

Yan Xunzhi thought in pain, is she qualified not to believe it...

She didn't want to, and didn't need to, ask Yi Rong or Zheng Qing'an. Even if they were describing the same pain, it would be too easy for them to mix something different into it since they didn't feel the same way.

There is also no need to report it. Kong Wei had violated the rules and was caught once, but she still came for the injection, which shows that she is not afraid of being caught a second time.

Three times, four times, five times... After living underground for a long time, everyone understands that rank represents a class, and the people on the steps always feel stuck when they drop the switch.

Even if Kong Wei really wanted to harm her, he would have done so.

After the warmth from the pain faded, the floor of the special education training room was exceptionally cold, and the chill continued to flow from the ground into his body. Yan Xunzhi took a moment to catch his breath and tried to get up from the ground.

Even if I can't walk, it's nice to be able to sit on a soft leather chair.

Her legs were weak. She placed her hands on the ground, trembling as she stretched them out, but her legs buckled as soon as she moved, and she was about to fall flat on her face, losing her balance.

Kong Wei was quick to reach forward and Yan Xunzhi fell into her arms.

Her embrace was soft, and like all ordinary people, a bit of normal warmth could be seen through her clothes, neither as cold as the expression on her face nor as tender as her eyes.

It's just a very ordinary embrace with a residual lemon scent.

Yan Xunzhi didn't understand why her vision was blurry. She clearly didn't want to cry, and she didn't know why she was crying, but the tears just fell unconsciously.

She felt the position where she was leaning stiffen.

The voice above me stuttered, "Would you like to take a break? I'll put a chair down for you."

She looked up through her tears and saw Kong Wei, who looked flustered and at a loss. The little man with his legs crossed in her mind suddenly laughed.

Animals have a survival instinct. When danger comes, they will subconsciously make choices that are beneficial to themselves, and the same is true for humans.

She had been living too comfortably these days and had forgotten about Kong Wei, but her subconscious still remembered her. She also remembered that she was afraid of her crying and would run away if she did.

When Kong Wei was in great danger and was injected with medicine, her body reacted faster than her brain.

The little man with crossed legs was laughing happily in his mind. Yan Xunzhi had obtained a weapon to suppress Kong Wei. He felt like teasing her and nodded with tears in his eyes, but he leaned closer to her.

She thought Kong Wei would be dumbfounded and at a loss. Unexpectedly, she easily put her arm around her waist, making her center of gravity tilt a little more, and half-carried, half-carried her to the mental training chair.

Yan Xunzhi was suddenly so close to her, with most of his body pressed against her through two layers of cloth, and her heart was beating like a drum with fear.

Oh my god!

She never thought that Instructor Kong, a guide, was so strong that he could just carry it up and go.

The attempt to steal the chicken ended up with a loss of the rice. Instead of scaring Kong Wei, he made himself panic-stricken and annoyed.

Kong Wei had already held her hand.

She was sitting on the mental training chair at this time, but Kong Wei squatted down, raised his head and looked up at her. The positions of the two were instantly reversed.

To a certain extent, there are also levels of vision... It's like, what kind of instructor would squat like this and look up at the students? Yan Xunzhi felt a little awkward and subconsciously wanted to switch back, but Kong Wei seemed oblivious and gently rubbed her arm.

"Instructor Kong..."

The area around the injection site has become a little discolored. Kong Wei is not a professional after all, and is not familiar with the operation, so his skills need to be improved.

"Hmm?" Kong Wei saw her expression, which was difficult to speak. "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

It's not uncomfortable. Yan Xunzhi was at a loss for words. ...Why don't you get up first?

As a poor student who had been doing poorly for sixteen years, this was the first time she had received such care from the instructor. It was really a bit... hard for her to get used to it.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Kong Wei turned the arm in his hand over and over, almost like a toy. "No way, I tested it, it should just hurt for a while. And my injection technique is not that bad, it's just that the injection is not so even. It will be fine after rubbing it for a while."

“…”

Yan Xunzhi silently looked up.

You cannot engage in strenuous activities or use your mental energy extensively within one hour after EV injection, otherwise the drug's effects may be alienated, causing overdraft and harm to your body.

Therefore, drug injections are usually arranged after the afternoon training. After the injection, you only need to exercise your brain during the evening reading session and then have a meal, so that you will not be delayed if you want to continue training in the evening.

But Yan Xunzhi had just received an EV injection and couldn't train for an hour, and he had no other plans, so he could only do nothing.

The two of them sat face to face, feeling somewhat awkward. Yan Xunzhi hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to find a topic to talk about, Kong Wei took the initiative to ask, "You've recently been assigned to a new class and started a new course. Are you enjoying it?"

She didn't ask "Are you used to it?" but asked if it was comfortable. Yan Xunzhi felt a little embarrassed for some reason, as if she had something else to say. "Not bad..."

Kong Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and pointed out directly, "I heard that you skip classes every day and even if you go, you just sleep."

“…”Who told her this?

Yan Xunzhi was a little embarrassed for a moment, unable to find the right words to say. He stammered for a long while, "Actually, I also seriously..." I studied the instructor's habits seriously in order to skip classes.

She couldn't continue making up her story.

I had to change the subject abruptly, "Instructor Kong, is the experimental class... set up just to test the new generation of EV drugs?"

After asking, I felt something was wrong. If it was, then this was clearly a clinical trial using the marginal white tower. If it wasn't, then why set up an experimental class for injection? She asked this question like a spy who was not careful and was eager to pry.

Surprisingly, Kong Wei admitted, "Yes."

Seeing Yan Xunzhi's surprise, she took the initiative to explain, "The new EV drug has been used in the Central White Tower for two years, so you can rest assured of its legitimacy. However, the application process for the Central White Tower is much more complicated than that for the peripheral White Tower. Due to time constraints, I couldn't apply first and skip the observation period to bring the students directly to the ground. As a result, I'm missing two years of ground data, so I came to the peripheral White Tower to establish an experimental class to fill these two years."

This name is so grand, experimental class. If the central white tower does not allow it, how dare she give it such a name? She will definitely make a chicken class, a duck class, or a guinea pig class.

The management of the marginal White Tower is loose, and there are loopholes everywhere in the process. There are not so many requirements, and the higher-ranking one can crush the one who is more powerful. Kong Weilai almost has the final say here.

The establishment of the experimental class was tacitly approved by the Central White Tower. Not to mention the importance of the experimental data that was lost for two years, the EV potion was updated at a faster speed and had already undergone the latest adjustments.

"Do you know how many S-level sentries there are?"

Yan Xunzhi was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and subconsciously glanced at the white name tag pinned on her chest.

S1347

The color represents the sentry direction, the letters represent the differentiation level, and the numbers represent the number of people. Kong Wei is the 1,347th differentiated S-level guide in the Federation.

"When I split, it was one hundred and sixty-four years underground. In the seventy-seven years since the official release of the EV drug for universal injection in 1987, I successfully split a total of 1,347 S-level sentinels."

Excluding the eighteen years required to train the first generation, there are only more than 1,300 S-level sentinels in sixty years.

"But the last Sentinel differentiated this year..." Kong Wei looked at her and smiled, "Number is S2787. In the past ten years, the number of S-level Sentinels cultivated by the Federation has almost turned over."

"There are a total of 895 of them from the Central White Tower."

The embryos hatched in the Central White Tower had already undergone two rounds of screening—ovum and gene—with a 50% differentiation rate above Grade A. It could be said that most of the Federation's most important pillars came from the Central White Tower.

Kong Wei used them as experiments, and without precedent, he allowed the undifferentiated students to go directly to the ground, which was tantamount to sending the lifeblood of the Federation to the ground.

The federal government voted collectively, with four votes in favor and thirteen against.

So she came to the edge of the White Tower.

For the marginal White Tower, replacing the EV potion was just a broken jar, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. If the experiment is successful, the students will be considered carp to become dragons. Even if the leap is unsuccessful, at most they will die.

Most of the people in the White Tower on the edge were destined to die on the ground.

Yan Xunzhi listened for a long time and finally grasped the key point, "...The experimental class is going to go to the ground?"

Kong Wei nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be on the surface next month."

The Federation never allows undifferentiated students to go on the ground! Yan Xunzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned forward to grab the corner of Kong Wei's clothes, "Then...then I also got the injection, can I go?"

Kong Wei looked strange, "...You want to go?"

Yan Xunzhi didn't notice her change in expression and said excitedly, "Of course! Undifferentiated students can't go to the ground. I've never been there!"

Everything these trainees had learned since birth, aside from their underground existence, was preparation for emerging above ground. It was no exaggeration to say that they had only one training goal in their lives: to emerge above ground.

Of course, she wanted to see what the goal she had worked so hard for her entire life looked like. Going to the surface was something these young students dreamed of.

Kong Wei was silent. After a moment, he confirmed, "Do you really want to?"

"Really!" Yan Xunzhi's eyes were as bright as stars. Kong Wei stared at her for a few seconds and turned away without saying a word.

Yan Xunzhi thought she wouldn't agree, and on second thought, that made sense. The terrain was dangerous, and the experimental class had selected only the most outstanding students from Canxing. How could she compare? Going up there would definitely be a drag, so it was normal for Kong Wei not to want to take her.

But curiosity eventually triumphed over everything. She wanted to go up and see what the ground looked like, and she also wanted to brag about it for half her life if she went up to the ground before she could even differentiate. The vanity of the young woman was aroused at this moment.

Finally, he took a deep breath, tugged at the corner of her clothes, and said softly, "Instructor... I promise, I will train hard and will not lag behind on the ground!"

Kong Wei suddenly asked, "What if you die on the ground?"

“…” Yan Xunzhi was stunned.

Even though most of the students ended up dying on the ground, for them, who were still undifferentiated, talking about death was too far away. The only thing they were related to was the federal slogan they had been taught since childhood:

"I will continue to explore on the surface and voluntarily dedicate everything to the Federation. To escape is shameful, but to die is glorious."

She recovered and smiled. "If I come back alive, it means I'm lucky, and you'll have more experimental samples. You only find good students, and you've never found a test subject as bad as me, right? But there are people like me everywhere in the White Tower, and our data will not be unimportant."

"If I die, it means I'll die on Earth anyway. At least I died in a different way, so it wasn't a wasted trip, in obscurity. Instructor..."

"I really want to go and see it." She tugged at the corner of her clothes, slightly raised her head, like a well-behaved cat begging, "...Take me there."
