Chapter 357: You Heard That? (Part 1)

A few days later, the school’s notification arrived.

Amalia didn’t realize until she reached the third grade that Professor Frans also taught the students in the third grade, although there were very few classes for the third grade.

And by the next semester, there would hardly be any classes at all.

Because she was his direct student, Amalia made sure to show Professor Frans some respect during her first class with him.

Professor Frans mentioned the training in the central disaster area during the class.

This training was different from usual; its cruelty far exceeded that of all other disaster zones.

Those who hadn’t seen much bloodshed before would witness it during this training.

They needed to get used not only to a group of mutated creatures with awakened intelligence but also to the heavy responsibility of safeguarding the future of Earth.

However, they had yet to witness something even more brutal.

They couldn’t understand that the burden on them wasn’t simply to kill a group of mutated creatures.

Professor Frans’s biggest characteristic was his sharp tongue.

While other instructors were careful to nurture these national talents, he couldn’t wait for them to realize how cruel reality could be.

He believed that if they didn’t strive harder, it would be too late.

So while students in other classes were still fooling around, his students were already in a state of confusion, not knowing where they stood.

Earth was going to be destroyed?

Was this a joke?

"Are you all thinking I’m joking?" Professor Frans’s voice sounded unusually harsh, and even his expression was much more serious than usual.

The buzz in the classroom slowly quieted down, and the students began to feel uneasy.

"Do you know the difference in data between the usual third grade students’s training in the central disaster zone and the data for the first and second grade students?" Professor Frans scanned every corner of the classroom with a cold gaze.

Under his scrutiny, no one dared to even look at their classmates around them.

Today, Professor Frans seemed very different from usual, and nobody even had the courage to meet his gaze.

At that moment, Cassandra Lin raised her hand.

"The danger level in the central disaster zone is at least four times higher than in other disaster zones. If the death rate for first and second grade students is ten percent, then the death rate for those students whose going to the central disaster zone is forty percent, nearly half the chance of survival."

Cassandra Lin was different from the others; she belonged to the Lin family, so her words carried a certain weight.

As soon as she finished speaking, the classroom buzzed again.

Nearly half the death rate?

How could it be such a high number?

Nobody believed it.

Professor Frans’s cold voice rang out again, "I know you don’t believe it, but what she said is true. Most of the mutated creatures in the central disaster zone area have already gained intelligence. Do you know what gaining intelligence means?"

"It means that these mutated creatures, like humans, have independent thoughts. They are no longer just mindless beasts."

"They can think, strategize, create traps, and even pretend to be injured to deceive you."

"Mutated creatures used to be seen as materials or food, but please remember, once they gain intelligence, they become another species."

"If we don’t fight, if we don’t defend our home, Earth, sooner or later, these mutated creatures will crawl onto our land and occupy our home."

"How many deep-sea creatures are there? When they all crawl onto land, will there be any place left for human survival on this planet?"

"No, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, let alone two different species. So this battle is unavoidable. It’s a cruel battlefield, but it’s also your responsibility!"

Professor Frans’s words echoed in the classroom, leaving the students deeply shaken.

They had been practicing for so long, but the concept of disaster zone had never been clear to them.

Some even thought that disaster zones were just like the cradle that nurtured their growth.

But when the cradle turned into a bloody battlefield, they realized why the existence of the central disaster zone had not been publicized by the country.

It was not only to protect humanity but also for the sake of the nation.

When people knew that the land would eventually be occupied by creatures from the sea, they would surely panic.

When this panic spread on a large scale, society and the country would fall into chaos.

The reason why Heavenly Path University did not inform the first and second grade students about the existence of the central disaster zone was also to avoid this situation.

However, the current central disaster zone was still small in scale and controllable.

But when the scope continued to expand, there would come a time when the country could no longer control it.

So this was also a gradual process.

After Professor Frans finished his speaking, although everyone was deeply shaken by the revelation of the tense situation, but after all, they hadn’t experienced it personally.

So, after they discussing it for a day or two, they returned to their usual carefree attitude.

Some students were dissatisfied with their lack of seriousness.

"Cassandra, if everyone continues like this, the death rate might be even higher when we go to the central disaster zone later. Don’t you want to say something?" someone asked Cassandra Lin.

Amalia was the top-ranked student, but she looked like someone who doesn’t care about anything, and she also join their class by skipping grades.

Since everyone was unfamiliar with her, they all turned to Cassandra Lin to speak.

Cassandra Lin was kind-hearted and easy-going, without any airs of coming from a prominent family.

So, everyone in the class were liked him.

"Professor Frans is so dignified, and he spoke so seriously, but everyone still just brushed it off. Even if I tell them, they might not take it to heart. Don’t worry, the school is just arranging for everyone to undergo training this time. Even if there is a death rate, it won’t be too high," Cassandra Lin smiled.
