Chapter 151: Disaster Area (Part 1)

Upon entering the herbal bath, Amalia felt nothing at first.

It took her a few seconds before she sensed a slight pain.

With time, the reaction of the herbs intensified, as if something was forcefully drilling into her skin.

Throughout the process, Amalia maintained a stoic expression.

This level of pain was something she had experienced in her past life.

Kenny Lin who unaware of it, couldn’t help but view her differently.

An hour later, Amalia emerged from the water.

With the help of the herbal bath, Kenny Lin began to suppressed the dispersing bone fragrance within her.

During the suppression, a piercing pain far worse than the one she experience when she in the herbal bath surged through her body.

Amalia finally understood what he meant by ’pain.’

It was fortunate she had experienced hardship before.

When it ended, she was completely soaked with sweet and a faint pink hue over her body.

Kenny Lin threw a towel to her.

"Thank you." Amalia wiped away the sweat, and quickly dressed, she felt relieved that her cultivation had stopped declining.

With this outcome, she was content.

Regaining the lost cultivation wouldn’t take too much time with her current physical condition.

Kenny Lin’s icy gaze slid lightly over her body, and his emotions was unclear.

Just as the first-year students were engrossed in the fervor over the decisive battle between Amalia and Sebastian Caceres, a sudden policy reform at school swept over like a colossal tsunami, diverting everyone’s attention elsewhere.

Mighel Zepeda’s words were proven true, and actually not so unexpected.

Other people with some sources of information is also knew about the policy reform in advance, only those with insufficient family background were left stunned by the news.

Some were happy, some were worried.

Apart from the senior students, discussions about this matter could be seen almost everywhere on campus among the younger grades.

Amalia encountered Javier Hermandez and two others in the training room.

She overheared Javier Hermandez’s two friends also complaining about this issue.

One was in class 4, the other in class 5.

Advancing to the next class with a bit more effort wasn’t difficult, but it wasn’t too disappointing either; instead, it was a pity for Amalia.

"You could easily defeated Sebastian Caceres, and smoothly moving up a class, yet such an unfortunate incident occurred," they said.

They had also watched the match, and if Amalia had not walked away quickly, they would also have congratulated her.

"Amalia, why there is no reaction from you at all?" After a brief exchange, they noticed her indifferent response.

Indeed, Amalia didn’t care much. "It’s fine like this."

"That’s because you don’t know about the school’s allocation of external resources, which only starts this semester," Javier Hermandez thought she was unaware of these matters and felt concerned for her.

"Are you talking about the disaster areas?" Amalia raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, in the first semester of the first year, it’s theoretical knowledge; only in the latter part of the second semester does actual external experience begin." Amalia had just enrolled and was preoccupied with dispersing bone fragrance.

Because she hadn’t resolved that issue, so she couldn’t do much else with other things.

She had only heard about it from someone in class 9 and without delving into details.

However, now that the dispersing bone fragrance problem was almost solved, it wouldn’t hurt to listen more about it.

As soon as she asked, Javier Hermandez divulged everything.

"Different levels of disaster areas have different resources available for cultivation. Generally, the greater the danger and the lower the degree of development, the richer the resources.

In order to ensure the safety of freshmen and stimulate their ambition, the school detailed the allocation of external resources for each class.

For instance, if class 1 has access to A-level disaster areas, then class 9’s external resources would be E or F-level disaster areas.

Both E and F-level areas have been exploited numerous times, and their resources has been completely plundered.

Year after year, there are hardly any resources left for the subsequent students.

Although by the second semester of the second year, the school won’t strictly differentiate in this aspect, a year is still substantial.

The gap widened by other classes will only grow, and making it very challenging for those behind to catch up."

Javier Hermandez hasn’t experienced it yet, but the seniors who usually look out for him have mentioned these matters.

They advise him not to underestimate a year experience, as what needs to be achieved should be pursued as early as possible.

"What exactly do you mean by ’disaster areas’?" In the original’s memory, there was almost zero content about this topic, and Amalia couldn’t grasp any useful information.

However, Javier Hermandez and the others didn’t show any surprise.

They had heard about Amalia’s experiences to some extent.

Moreover, within the first-year class, many students were still unaware of these things.

Through their explanation, Amalia gradually filled in the missing pieces of her understanding about the missing parts of the Earth she currently in.

The existence of disaster areas traced back a thousand years.

After humans depleted the land’s renewable resources, anomalies began to arose, rendering many places unsuitable for human habitation.

Consequently, human leaders turned their focus to the oceans.

They decided to reclaim land from the sea.

Reclaiming land from the sea was an enormous endeavor.

However, after centuries of effort and utilizing their technology, humans eventually created numerous habitable lands along the coast.

Then problems emerged.

These reclaimed areas experienced odd occurrences.

One such oddity was the exuberant growth of vegetation, breaking all growth patterns, as if enhanced by hormones, and growing tenfold or more.

Another oddity was the mutation of animals, not only becoming stronger but also exceedingly very aggressive.

Even once docile pets began attacking humans.

A third oddity was the softening of the ground beneath their feet, turning some areas into marshes or lakes.

The buildings that once stood on these grounds were engulfed, buried under thick layers of grass and vegetation.

Oddity number four was some marine creatures exclusive to deep-sea regions began to appeared on land.

They evolved their limbs so they could moved on land and exhibiting formidable strength, making them a difficult opponent for ordinary humans to resist.
