Mental Illness Evolution Manual - Chapter 81

When Tan Yiyuan followed Feng Tao across the ocean, although he had all sorts of mixed feelings about the future, he really didn’t expect it to turn out like this.

The two-tiered bunk bed only had a mattress thinner than clothes on it. He lived in this dormitory, which could only fit four people, with no distinction between men and women, along with a few other companions.

Every day, there was rigorous training that made them wish they could just die on the spot.

Those weighted long runs, human ladder climbing, long jump, high jump, shooting aiming, specialized combat, it was like they were training soldiers.

Especially considering the current head of the Polov family’s position, it was hard not to think that he had simply brought over the army’s training program.

The applicants were all kinds of people, there were retired soldiers, mercenaries, and people like them who had previously worked in the gray industries.

There were some rebellious troublemakers among them, but they were all subdued and obedient after a few days.

On the way here, Tan Yiyuan met a few of companions. Besides Feng Tao, there were two others, Ji Han and Xu Zhen.

Ji Han was a very small person. It was hard to imagine that in this day and age, there were still people who were so short. He was only 1.6 meters tall, he was small and didn’t have much flesh on him, he was thin and dry, like a shrunken old man. But he was incredibly agile, like a monkey, even the instructor couldn’t catch him.

So Ji Han had a nickname, Skinny Monkey.

And Xu Zhen, she was an extremely beautiful woman. She had deep honey-colored skin, a tall and slender figure. It was unclear where she was from, but her features were extremely superior. She had long arms and legs, her waistline was almost as tall as Skinny Monkey.

She was like a priestess, a dancing girl, a cheetah stretching its limbs.

Her eyelashes were a rare white, she said it was a genetic disease, and so was her hair.

And her eyes were a wild golden color. They were prosthetic eyes. Xu Zhen had removed her original eyes because she didn’t think they were very useful, and she had replaced them.

Besides her appearance, the second thing that made people look at her twice was her cold ruthlessness.

This training camp had mixed genders, and they were all given suppressants, so they couldn’t tell their exact gender. Of course, they looked at faces.

Eighty percent of the applicants weren’t good people. Xu Zhen’s beauty spread quickly.

But they weren’t fools, they knew that anyone who could pass the screening wasn’t ordinary. They didn’t dare to make a move, they only harassed her with words.

After all, teasing someone, being a little flirty, wasn’t illegal. They couldn’t get their hands on her, but they could still get their mouths on her, right?

But Xu Zhen wouldn’t put up with it. After hearing the first sentence, she punched the man, breaking his nose and silencing his other dirty words.

The lunchroom quickly became a brawl.

But the instructor didn’t stop them. When there were only a few people left standing, The instructor finally arrived, they called out Xu Zhen’s name and made her the squad leader.

The woman who was still standing wiped the blood off the knuckles of her hand with a detached expression. She looked down at the man lying on the ground and kicked him, “Waste.”

Xu Zhen gave them their four names. The instructor didn’t care if they formed cliques, they wanted competition.

If this was a game, then Xu Zhen was the damage dealer, Feng Tao was the tank, Skinny Monkey was the scout, and Tan Yiyuan himself was the support.

He was too versatile. His long time wandering and living alone had maxed out his life skills. He knew a little bit of everything, he could even fix broken machines.

The four of them quickly passed the test and officially joined the Polov family’s personal guard.

They moved to a different place, they still had to train, but the treatment was significantly better. Their food and accommodation were much more refined, much better than the prison-like conditions they had before.

The officer in charge of training them brought a new thing, a device that could temporarily enhance their combat abilities.

This chip was implanted in everyone’s head. It was said to release an electrical signal that stimulated the brain and unlocked potential, but it would increase their physical exertion. So they had to train harder to increase their physical strength, otherwise, they would become weaklings after unlocking their potential.

Tan Yiyuan experienced it once. When the sound waves came out, it felt like a bull seeing a red cloth, it made him restless.

His brain was boiling, his thoughts were boiling, his bones, his blood, his whole body was boiling. He only had one goal in mind, to destroy the pillar in front of him.

After the test, his destructive power was twice as strong as before.

Tan Yiyuan lay on the ground, feeling exhausted and weak, he was sweating profusely. The instructor injected him with a vial of medicine, saying it could replenish his physical strength. After the medicine was injected into his body, he felt much better, his limbs had strength again.

They stayed here longer and longer, and the number of people in the team grew. After a few snowfalls, the instructor called them together and said that they were going to start their first real-world mission—to wipe out the underground underworld in Kurtz City.

Their base and personnel were all public knowledge. The instructor divided them into different teams, each team responsible for a different area. Their goal was only one, to kill everyone.

This was a one-sided massacre.

It wasn’t a back-and-forth battle.

They, the personal guards, were well-equipped and well-trained. Each of them could fight ten men. These underworld members had no idea about them, while they knew everything about these people, even what color underwear they wore.

As for how to distinguish between friend and foe, it was very simple.

The information about the underworld members had been entered into the system. They would be marked red. When they encountered someone marked red, they didn’t need to distinguish between men, women, old or young, they were all shot.

Some people knelt down and begged for mercy, some cried out to heaven and earth, but Tan Yiyuan’s gun trembled.

Killing without restraint wasn’t a pleasant thing, especially this scene, which was like a meat grinder, it was even more difficult to accept.

To be honest, were they all really heinous criminals? Probably not.

Survival at the bottom required a backer, it required leverage. How many members were there who had joined out of necessity, for the sake of survival and livelihood?

He stopped, and the next moment, the person begging for mercy had a bloody flower blooming on his head.

Xu Zhen wiped the blood off the knuckles of her hand with a detached expression. Then she raised her gun and shot another group of people.

“You have too much kindness in your heart,” her voice was like a sharp blade of ice, breaking through the hot smoke of the machine gun fire.

“We are all machines of revenge, we are sinners who live in misery. They may have their reasons, they may be innocent, but that’s none of my business.”

“I only know one thing,” she said indifferently, “Anyone who stands in my way will die.”

The one-sided massacre lasted for three days. During this time, a gang fought back desperately. Everyone activated their potential, and they barely escaped with their lives. They weren’t blown up by the madman.

Tan Yiyuan was used to seeing life and death. When he got on the truck and left the stinking alley, his face was still frighteningly white.

The blood between his fingers couldn’t be washed away, it formed a reddish-brown stain.

Xu Zhen sat on a chair, wrapping the wound on her arm. Her expression was calm, when she lowered her eyelashes, she had a kind of compassionate beauty.

But no one in the truck dared to make a joke, because everyone had a count of how many people they had killed. And this woman, who was beautiful as a cheetah when she was alone, had a count that was far ahead of everyone else.

Insolent jokes were the exclusive behavior of the strong towards the weak. It was essentially a condescending disrespect. But at this moment, no one dared to disrespect her, even though she was incredibly beautiful.

The peace of the Federation had lasted for over two hundred years. Throughout human history, endless wars, struggles, and oppression had flourished at various points in time.

It was as if humans were born to die in the underworld.

This hard-won peace was so short-lived, it was like a fleeting bloom.

When the incident suddenly happened, no one could have imagined it. It came without warning.

Azberto rebelled.

Azberto publicly declared, “Citizens, there’s no need to panic. This isn’t poison gas, but a threshold, a threshold to a new world.”

The rebel leader was wearing a black military uniform, his hat brim covered the dark clouds in the sky. The thunderclouds brewing in the sky seemed to be brewing in his lead-gray eyes, “There are too many people in this world, and most of them are stupid and muddled. They live their lives like goldfish in a jar, numbly going through their lives. They don’t contribute anything to life itself, to society as a whole, or to the human race. In fact, their inferior genes are holding us back.”

“Survival of the fittest, the fittest survive. That’s the beauty of evolution.”

“But natural selection is too slow,” Azberto’s thin, white lips curved slightly, “So we’re going to take a shortcut.”

“There’s no need to be afraid, no need to panic. This is just a necessary step in the process of reaching a new world.”

The same poison gas bombs exploded in the air over five different cities at the same time.

His army unleashed a poison gas bomb on Absolute Winter City, Longqing City, and the twin stars – one still green, the other a sickly green, the color of concentrated poison gas – were visible in the distance.

The other cities were the same.

The green was like a blooming firework, it fell heavily to the ground.

When Azberto’s speech was posted online, there was no one left in those cities who had the leisure to watch it.

The suffocating, burning pain, as if every cell, every strand of DNA was being broken down and rebuilt, instantly robbed everyone of their sanity.

Uncontrolled vehicles rampaged through the streets. How many people died in car accidents was an immeasurable number.

It wasn’t a natural disaster, it was a man-made disaster.

At that time, Yan Xianchuan was playing in the snow downstairs. The freshly fallen snow was like cotton, it would stick together with a gentle rub. She was going to make a little cat to show Lu Mingqiu.

But she didn’t make a snow cat, she received a call from the other person first.

All the news channels were broadcasting live reports of the situation in those cities, the screaming people, the twisted green gas, and Azberto’s cold and crazed declaration.

Lu Mingqiu immediately realized something was wrong, she said in a deep voice, “The way these people are acting after being poisoned reminds me of Walnut Town.”

Azberto did have an indescribable aversion to people with low intelligence. He had actually contacted the church, he had recklessly and almost obsessively released the mutated potion.

Was he trying to screen out the so-called superior genes on a large scale, to screen out who was qualified to get a ticket to the “New world”?
