The more he read, the paler the faces of the graduates in the audience became, and the ambition in their eyes faded.

This basin of cold water chilled everyone to the core.

Xie Zhao finally put down the electronic screen and stopped reading the bloody data.

"These data are shocking. I have been looking for the right time to announce them, but I was afraid that telling you would make you lose confidence in training, so I have been delaying it until now. I am sorry to tell you these facts on this celebratory occasion today."

No one in the audience spoke.

Everyone looked at the seat next to them - the seat where the second batch of pioneers were sitting.

There were only 500 seats, but they were not full.

Everyone's mood is complicated.

Tu Ran was also a little shocked.

No wonder these data are not released. If this were known in advance, many people would back out and the enrollment rate would become a problem.

Beside her, Xiao Di was so moved that she burst into tears.

Min Tao was not in a good mood either, and silently handed him a tissue.

Xiaodi took the tissue and wiped her tears randomly, feeling extremely sad.

Tu Ran patted his shoulder to comfort him.

In fact, she herself did not have any extra emotions except shock.

Her memories of the training base were all from her original body's mind. She was looking at everything from a third-party perspective and was unable to put her own emotions into it.

Perhaps it can also be said that the original body did not have much affection for the training base, so her soul that traveled through time and space naturally could not feel it.

"Xiao Liu! Xiao Liu! What's wrong with you?"

A scream came from behind.

The sound was not loud, but it was only a few rows away from them, so Tu Ran could easily hear it.

"Stop eating, you're going to die of fullness!"

Tu Ran turned her upper body to look.

A man was quickly stuffing all the food in front of him into his mouth.

He moved so quickly that he seemed to swallow it without even chewing.

After finishing the food at his own table, he went to grab the food from his friend's table next to him.

His companions were patiently trying to dissuade him.

"How many days have you not eaten?" Xiao Di also turned his head and sobbed while watching this scene.

Tu Ran shrugged, "I don't know."

She didn't take it to heart, turned her head away, folded her arms across her chest and continued to listen to Xie Zhao's speech.

"From today on, you will become an official pioneer and a member of our pioneer team. I would like to congratulate you all here."

There was applause from the audience.

"Okay, that's all for our speech. The rest of the time is for everyone. I hope you all have fun."

The moment his voice fell, the projection on the podium flickered a few times, and all the people sitting on the gorgeous chairs disappeared.

Everything is a projection.

Instead, there are beautiful girls and handsome guys wearing hot clothes and posing in cool poses.

As the explosive music sounded, they began to twist their bodies, and the hot dance instantly ignited the atmosphere of the venue.

This dance troupe is very popular now. Tu Ran has seen the products they endorse on many billboards. Their latest song is popular in almost all forty-two states.

In the audience, many people stood up and danced passionately to their rhythm.

Even Xiao Di beside him jumped up.

There is no longer the sadness and tears I felt before.

"Brother Tao, Sister Ran, you two can dance together too!" he invited with a smile.

Min Tao accepted his suggestion, threw his helmet aside, stood up and joined Xiao Di in having fun.

Tu Ran shook her head, leaned back in her chair, and quietly appreciated the bustle of the entire venue.

Colorful lights flashing.

This is simply a large-scale open-air disco scene. When the atmosphere reaches its climax.

"Puff!"

The heavy object fell to the ground, but did not attract much attention.

Only those who were nearly hit by the heavy objects stopped and looked at the people curled up on the ground in confusion.

A young girl walked forward, half squatted, and carefully helped the man up.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked with concern.

The man gritted his teeth, his face was pale, his whole body was twitching, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

On the outskirts of the crowd, Tu Ran looked in the direction where the man was flying.

See the person who is still eating and drinking.

He has moved from three rows back to seven rows back.

There were almost no people sitting in the seventh row, and no one touched the food at the seats, so that person just sat there eating and drinking.

Tu Ran felt something was wrong.

Not only did he swallow food without chewing it, he now also stuffed plates, cups, and unopened fruit bags directly into his mouth.

It feels like there is a bottomless pit in my stomach.

Under the flickering lights, Tu Ran noticed that his body had become visibly larger.

The combat uniform was bulging and almost bursting.

"Min Tao! Xiao Di!" she shouted.

The music was very loud, and Min Tao and Xiao Di were not wearing helmets, so Tu Ran could only raise the volume as much as possible, almost shouting.

The two still didn't hear it.

Tu Ran grabbed the helmets on their seats and threw them at them.

Although the two were immersed in music and dance, their body's conditioned reflexes allowed them to catch their helmets accurately and in time.

The two looked at Tu Ran in confusion.

Tu Ran gestured with his helmet and signaled them to put it on quickly.

Although the two didn't understand what she was going to do, they cooperated and put it on their heads.

Blocking out the noisy music, Tu Ran could communicate with them clearly through the headset.

"Facing me, at the two o'clock position, that person might be a genetic monster!"

Min Tao and Xiao Di looked in the direction she pointed.

"Oh my god, how come he has gained so much weight in such a short time?" Xiao Di couldn't help but exclaim.

"Don't worry about it. I'll go test him first to see what's going on with him. The two of you approach from both sides. If he shows any abnormality, control him immediately."

"Okay." Xiao Di said.

"Yeah." Min Tao nodded and rubbed his hands together.

"Ling, if there is anything unusual, notify others immediately." Tu Ran instructed Ling again.

"Received." Zero Mechanical's voice responded quickly.

After everything was arranged, Tu Ran turned around, jumped up, jumped onto the table, took big strides on the table, and gradually approached the person who was still eating hard.

Xiao Di and Min Tao avoided the crowd and approached carefully from both sides.

The actions of the three people did not attract anyone's attention. Those who were dancing were still dancing passionately, and those who were saving people were still surrounding that person and caring about him.

Tu Ran walked closer to the fat man, who was about a table away from her and was stuffing a large can of beer into his mouth.

That’s right, it’s plugging, not drinking.

He stuffed the forearm-long beer can directly into his throat, swallowed a few times, and disappeared without a trace.

This is definitely not a human being.

Tu Ran drew out his long sword, and the cold and sharp blade reflected the colorful lights of the stage.

The light fell rapidly, striking the neck of the monster as it lowered its head and devoured the food voraciously.
