4: Ding, you are allowed to board the car

An hour later, the square quieted down. They had nothing left to vomit; it was all water.

"Everyone, line up!"

"From highest to lowest, those entering the High Molecular Compound Zone form one line, and those entering the Seed Zone form another..."

The three teams showed a very clear contrast.

The High Molecular Compound Zone had the fewest people, only about twenty, but the atmosphere was the most enthusiastic. Xu Jingzhe's ugliness was just an interlude for them.

The Seed Zone had about fifty people, some joyful, some disappointed.

The four or five hundred people in the Pollution Zone were suppressed, fearful, bewildered, and some even had tears on their faces.

It was over, everything was over; their lives were reaching their end.

They all knew that entering the Pollution Zone meant fending for themselves, but no one had ever told them what the Pollution Zone was like.

Xu Jingzhe was also like this; he could have entered the High Molecular Compound Zone. However, because of Wang Hu's words, the boy's dream... was shattered.

Not only that, he also became a laughingstock.

The injustice of fate filled his heart.

Why?! Even Wang Hu, who bullied the weak and molested girls, could enter the High Molecular Compound Zone!

And he could only enter the Pollution Zone?

His eyes were red, his fists clenched, and the seed of revenge was buried deep in his heart.

But did he still have a chance?

"Today is everyone's sixteenth birthday coming-of-age ceremony. Since it's a coming-of-age ceremony, it's something worth celebrating, so we've prepared a sumptuous lunch for everyone."

"These lunches are a privilege only enjoyed by those in the High Molecular Compound Zone, you know~"

"Coincidentally, everyone has pretty much finished throwing up." Mike looked at Xu Jingzhe, who had put his mask back on, his mockery undisguised.

Xia Qingli also stood up from her seat, her long legs very striking. She was in a good mood; with two individuals whose potential value exceeded 100, she could receive a double reward.

She had decided; for the double reward, she didn't want anything else, only a longer time to hunt Contaminators in the Pollution Zone.

The pollution core obtained from the last hunt was still a bit short of being able to exchange for a Moon Soil Evolution Fluid.

After the third baptism, her body... should be able to produce a special ability!

The two stepped down from the testing platform, and the sound of gears turning echoed as the testing platform split into four aircraft.

"Follow us. After dinner, everyone goes home and finds their own mom," Mike joked.

He was also in a good mood, thinking about what reward to choose.

"No, no! I'm not going, I'm not going!"

"I want to go home, I want to find my parents!"

"I, I want to go home too."

In the Pollution Zone team, some couldn't bear the fear of death and started to go crazy.

The crowd stirred.

One, two, three...

They wanted to run out of the square and run home.

Mike and Xia Qingli watched coldly, taking no action.

The first boy to run smiled; he was just one step away from stepping onto the six-lane road.

"Thud!" A vibrant rose bloomed, a copper bullet pierced his body, bringing out a streak of crimson blood, and shot into the ground.

Due to the immense inertia, his body still ran forward a few steps.

He still stepped onto the six-lane road.

However, he would never wake up again.

The machines mercilessly fired, locking onto every boy and girl who tried to escape. Streaks of bright red blood blossomed, and they didn't even have time to let out a scream.

Xu Jingzhe was terrified, cold sweat streaming down.

Just now, he almost... moved.

He was filled with lingering fear, remembering how he had rushed out onto the six-lane road earlier. If it hadn't been for saving that Little Girl, he probably would have been the first to die.

Now, his body would be cold.

On the concrete square, there were as many as fifty or sixty corpses, but for those entering the Pollution Zone, it didn't seem like the number had decreased much.

A high-end hotel, resplendent and full of taste and style.

Ancient Chinese and new Western styles were perfectly combined, making one marvel at the designer's taste.

The dining table was laden with various delicacies.

These were things that people from the Seed Zone couldn't eat.

"Alright, let's eat," Mike said.

Then, he himself began to eat heartily. Even for them, it was rare to eat such delicious food.

Xu Jingzhe quickly adjusted his mindset, burying the matter deep in his heart. He picked up the golden chopsticks and ate.

Facing the unknown Pollution Zone, having strength in his body would give him a greater chance to survive and exact revenge!

System: "Ding, ugh... Put down the chopsticks, you can't eat now."

The system's voice echoed in Xu Jingzhe's mind.

Xu Jingzhe's hand, holding a slice of meat that looked very much like Wagyu beef, paused. It was here, this strange voice.

"You, are you human or ghost?" he asked.

System: "I can be human, or I can be a ghost."

System: "Hehe... No more jokes, I am the most advanced system on Blue Star, accidentally bound to you. I can live as long as you live."

"So, just now on the street, was that, was that Time Stop as they say online?"

System: "Sorry, no comment."

Xu Jingzhe: "......"

"I'm very hungry now, why can't I eat? People are iron, rice is steel; if you don't eat for a meal, you'll be hungry."

System: "Then eat."

"Really?"

...

"Why aren't you talking? I'm really going to eat now."

"Hey, you're not going to crash again, are you?"

"Aren't you the most advanced system on Blue Star?"

Because he was bound to this powerful system, Xu Jingzhe's panic actually lessened a lot. The system said it could live as long as he lived.

As the most advanced system on Blue Star, it should... protect him, right? But how would it protect him?

He felt much better, so he definitely had to eat; such precious ingredients.

He probably would only get to eat this once in his life.

Xu Jingzhe opened his mouth, ready to feast.

System: "Are you really going to eat? If you eat the food here, I won't be able to save you either."

Xu Jingzhe's hand trembled. Damn it.

Didn't you just tell me to eat?

Now that it's about to go into my mouth, you're telling me not to eat.

Forget it, Xu Jingzhe chose to trust the system, swallowed, and silently put down the golden chopsticks.

After eating, the first group of people entering the High Molecular Compound Zone left.

Wang Hu stopped as he passed Xu Jingzhe, saying with a contemptuous attitude: "Pollution Zone, hehehe... I heard some interesting things during dinner just now."

"9527, live a bit longer in the Pollution Zone, and we... will meet again."

With that, he walked away without looking back.

Xu Jingzhe looked at Wang Hu's retreating back, his clenched fist relaxing again, a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

What could he do?

"People from the Pollution Zone, line up at the entrance and get on the bus."

"I wish you all can survive."

Mike stood at the entrance, scanning Xu Jingzhe and the others, a subtle smile playing on his lips.

Eight large buses, one after another.

The air in the bus was turbid, and his brain felt heavy. Xu Jingzhe fell asleep.

He didn't know how long it had been until the driver's shout woke Xu Jingzhe.

The bus door had already been opened, and the people on the bus got off without a word, like walking corpses.

Xu Jingzhe also got off the bus, and in front of him was a high-speed rail station.

Huaicheng High-Speed Rail Station.

Entering the dedicated passage, they lined up at the high-speed rail entrance.

The train ticket inspectors were fully armed, wearing protective suits from head to toe, holding a transparent detector in their hands. Beside the inspectors, there was also a security guard holding an AK.

"Beep, 4324, permitted to board."

"Beep, 3256, permitted to board."

"Beep, 9527, permitted to board."
