Chapter 456: 416 Wen’s father reveals his identity, S-class! [1 update]_2 Chapter 456: 416 Wen’s father reveals his identity, S-class! [1 update]_2 Norton University has an intranet and an internet.
The intranet is connected to all of Norton University’s confidential information—Alchemy, Astrology, advanced thermal weaponry.
Without a student ID, it’s impossible to log onto the intranet.
To prevent attacks from hostile forces, the internet can be shut down at any time.
“Then block it,” the vice chancellor’s expression became unusually sharp, “Tell him, his sister wouldn’t want him to get into trouble.”
“If he cares about his sister’s well-being, he should leave Norton University only after he has completed his studies; otherwise, he is just delivering himself as a target for others to shoot at.”
He didn’t know whether this explosion was aimed at Ying Zijin or not.
The only certainty was that it was directed at those young geniuses out there.
Ying Zijin just happened to be among them.
The vice chancellor went through the list of all hostile forces in his mind but couldn’t find one that matched the profile of this bomb attack.
Who, exactly, would target so many people?
“Take me to the university’s central command room,” the vice chancellor dressed quickly, stepping out briskly, “I’ll command remotely.”
Over in the University Town of Continent O, the explosions that lasted for two hours finally stopped.
The rescue team had already been dispatched.
Fortunately, the range affected by the explosions wasn’t particularly wide; the majority were injured.
The rescue team was divided into three groups, rescuing people in sequence.
Soon, many students and professors who had not had time to escape and were buried under the rubble were lifted out, placed on stretchers, and immediately transported out of the city.
The number of deaths was less than expected, totaling nine so far.
“Captain, we’re still missing a dozen people on the list,” one team member said, “If we survey this area, I don’t think the death toll will increase.”
“Speed up,” the rescue team leader wiped the sweat from his brow, “The loss of even one is an international tragedy.”
Who were the ones buried beneath?
Geniuses from various countries.
This was a premeditated attack.
The team members didn’t relax either, surveying where needed, clearing paths where necessary.
Just then, a faint white smoke began to emerge.
An arm of one of the team members was corroded in an instant, turning the white protective suit black.
“Toxic gas!” Seeing this, the rescue team leader’s expression changed, “Retreat, retreat quickly!”
Explosions often brought forth things like toxic fog, which is why they wore protective suits.
Just in case, they all wore A-grade protective suits.
But now, under this unknown white fog, the A-grade protective suits were being corroded so quickly.
The rescue team leader estimated that it would take only a few minutes for the entire protective suit to be completely corroded.
This was unheard of in their rescue careers!
“But Captain, there are still a few people left,” a team member stepped back a few paces, “Not everyone on the list has been rescued!”
“Look carefully, this toxic fog is coming from the ruins,” the rescue team leader took a deep breath, “Can anyone inside still be alive?”
He ordered once more, “Retreat, get the other wounded out first.”
Outside University Town.
Old Master Zhong watched as one stretcher after another was carried out, but Ying Zijin was not among them.
His nerves, which had been taut the entire time, could no longer hold.
When the explosion occurred, he was on his way to the hotel booked by Fu Yunshen.
Because he was far away, he was immediately escorted out of the city by the guards.
“Tian, Tianlv,” Master Zhong grabbed Ying Tianlv’s arm, his voice trembling, “Zijin, she won’t be in trouble, right?”
“No, absolutely not,” Ying Tianlv struggled to steady his breathing, “Grandfather, she must be fine. You have to believe in her. The rescue team is inside; she’ll come out.”
“It’s not enough, I’m not at ease,” Elder Zhong’s body swayed, and he pushed Ying Tianlv away, “I’m going in myself, I’ll rescue her myself!”
Ying Tianlv firmly held Elder Zhong in place, unable to help but let out a wry smile.
He had just tried to enter, only to be forcefully stopped by Old Master Zhong.
Now, ironically, it was Old Master Zhong himself insisting on going in.
But they really couldn’t help much, entering would only add to the chaos.
Ying Tianlv took a few steps forward, wanting to see the situation inside the city.
Instead, he saw the rescue team rushing in.
They placed a dozen stretchers on the ground, the students and professors on them were all unconscious.
Ying Tianlv stepped forward but still did not see Ying Zijin.
His eyes suddenly changed, and he demanded sharply, “No more people? My sister hasn’t come out yet! How could you all leave?”
“A poisonous fog erupted inside.” The rescue team leader took off his completely blackened protective suit, struggling to catch his breath, “The path is no longer visible, it’s impossible to carry out a rescue.”
If they had not run fast, their protective suits wouldn’t have lasted until they got out.
Ying Tianlv’s body stiffened, incredulous, “What did you say?”
There was poisonous fog?
Master Zhong heard this as well, and he was almost on his knees, tears streaming down, “I beg you, please save my granddaughter, she’s still inside, she must be alive, hurry in and save her!”
“Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you, as long as you save her.”
What kind of storm hadn’t he weathered in his life?
Master Zhong was always known for his outstanding skill and courage without fear.
But at this moment, he was genuinely terrified.
He couldn’t bear to imagine what would happen if something happened to Ying Zijin.
“Old Master, we understand your concern, but we are also helpless.” The rescue team leader said with sympathy but had to admit, “The poisonous fog is too intense now. As you’ve seen, the protective suits can’t withstand it; going in would mean certain death.”
He paused, unable to bring himself to finish the sentence.
This kind of poisonous fog could not be identified by detectors, but wearing a protective suit one could only withstand it for five minutes.
How long could a human flesh endure?
It was likely that most were beyond saving.
University Town did have preventative measures, but there was no warning for this explosion.
By now, most people had been rescued, the few remaining ones could only be sacrificed.
Master Zhong’s body swayed, and he finally couldn’t hold on, fainting on the spot.
“Grandfather!” Ying Tianlv’s expression changed as he quickly supported him.
Immediately, the accompanying doctor stepped forward, moving Master Zhong to a stretcher set aside.
All around were cries, and some people were screaming.
After calming a group of students, Zuo Li also stepped forward, gritting his teeth, “What kind of poisonous fog is it?”
The rescue team leader shook his head, “We haven’t detected it.”
“Give me the protective suits,” Ying Tianlv bit his teeth, “Give me several, and I’ll change when they can’t hold up any longer. If you’re not searching, I’ll go in myself.”
“That’s impossible,” the rescue team leader said with a stern expression, rejecting the idea without hesitation, “You won’t even have time to change. We did tests while we were leaving.”
“The toxin enters the body if the skin is exposed in the air for even a quarter of a second.”
“I’m not afraid,” Ying Tianlv stood his ground, staring at the rescue team leader, “You’re afraid of taking responsibility, right? Fine, if I die, it shall be my own doing.”
With words like these, the rescue team leader was pushed into a corner with no choice.
He turned his head and ordered his team, “Give him ten A-grade protective suits.”
At this moment, a faint voice sounded.
Everyone was taken aback.
Ying Tianlv received the protective suits and turned around.
Seeing that the owner of the voice was Wen Fengmian, he was surprised, “Uncle?”
“This is DEATH poisonous fog, it damages people’s lungs, stomach, and all organs.” Wen Fengmian’s expression was unusually calm, his words clear, “An A-grade protective suit won’t hold up. I know you have an S-grade protective suit here.”
“Give me that S-grade protective suit, I’ll go in, no one understands this poisonous fog better than I do.”
