Chapter 23 The Future of the Academy
The second level of the bunker.

The functional layer is relatively empty because no residential buildings can be built here.

But for the lower class people, it is not pretentious. They can just find a place to lie down and it will be a place to stay.

Humans are social animals.

Even though there is more open space on the functional floor, everyone will gather together spontaneously.

There is a long queue outside the Level 6 Hospital.

This is the fourth hour since the Level 6 hospital arrived. Wen Xishu’s story is still being told.

Some people have already started to recover after taking level 6 drugs.

Even if there are not enough medicines, the equipment in the level VI hospital will be mastered by the medical scientists at the top of the bunker in the shortest possible time.

It is only a matter of time before this epidemic crisis, and all future epidemic crises, are resolved.

In an open space somewhere outside the hospital, a young man who looked about the same age as Wen Xishu was supporting a middle-aged woman.

That was his mother, she looked haggard and spoke in a very low voice.

But after taking the medicine, his complexion gradually recovered.

The young man was amazed by the magical effect of the medicine.

He lowered his head:

“I thought I had excellent qualifications. In the entrance examination for Luta Academy, I scored full marks in both the cultural test and the physical fitness test…”

“Even the teachers at Santa Pagoda Academy said that my talent is rare…”

The boy’s mother raised her hand with some difficulty and stroked the boy’s chin:
“Child…of course you are excellent. In my opinion, you are the best in the world.”

The boy shook his head:
“No, Mom, it’s not like that. I just realized now that talent is just a stepping stone. Mr. Wen Xishu has shown me that there is always someone better than you.”

“I have to work harder and not slack off just because I have talent. I can’t allow my end point to be the starting point for others!”

The boy’s name is Yue Yun, and he is about to become a freshman at Santa Academy. He is also a promising talent that Santa Academy pays much attention to.

In the simulation session, Yue Yun scored full marks in courage and bravery, as well as in skills and physical fitness, and even in cultural subjects.

Judging from his grades alone, he is the top candidate among the freshmen. If he is given more attention, he will achieve great success in the future.

Maybe as soon as I graduate, I will be asked to leave by the Bunker Security Bureau and be entrusted with important tasks.

Although Yue Yun came from a lowly family, it can be said that he has changed his fate by relying on his own talent.

At such a young age, he was noticed by the Luta Academy of Santa Academy, so he was naturally a little proud.

It’s not that he has never thought about competing with people like Xun Hui and Wen Ren Jing in the future and becoming the leader of the younger generation in the bunker.

But nothing in life goes smoothly.

Not long ago, Yue Yun’s mother was infected with the disease. Yue Yun knew very well what it meant to take care of his mother.

It means that he might be infected, his body functions might be damaged, and his talent might not be realized.

Just like in football, talent is important, but only by staying injury-free for more than a dozen long seasons can one become a true legend, and this is even rarer than talent itself.

Yue Yun was caught in a dilemma, but the young man ultimately did not choose to give up his mother. He continued to take care of his mother, even though he himself started coughing.

Originally Yue Yun thought that he would really miss out on Luta Academy this time…

Unexpectedly, Wen Xishu’s medicine is actually a level 6 medicine that can treat all viral diseases.

Wen Xishu’s deeds were also spread by the people at the bottom of the bunker, and became more and more exaggerated.

18 years old. Lower class. Not yet in academy. First time climbing a tower. Weird tower. Level 6 completion.

These words combined together caused Yue Yun to suffer a great shock in his heart.

He was very grateful to Wen Xishu for the medicine and for giving him the opportunity to return to college.

But the pride in my heart was also greatly impacted.

It turns out there are such geniuses. You thought you were a genius just because you got first place in the college simulation.

But what you don’t know is that someone has saved most people, including you, in actual combat situations that are countless times more difficult.

“I will try my best to be like him. I don’t know if the academy will find him. If so, I will definitely find a chance to repay him during my career in the academy.”

Yue Yun’s mother was very pleased because she knew that her son was a man of integrity and justice, and he was grateful for the help he had received.

“Good boy, mom is happy for you.”

The mother and son hugged each other, happy that they had survived the epidemic.

……

There are many more things like this.

Not far away, the younger sister took the medicine brought by her brother, and her complexion began to gradually improve.

Unlike Yue Yun, Jiang He and Jiang Xue attracted a lot of attention. There were always people coming up to ask if they needed help.

The reason is actually very simple, Jiang Xue’s facial features are too beautiful.

If Jiang He hadn’t been tall and strong and had a lot of experience in protecting his younger sister, Jiang Xue might have been harassed many times.

“Brother, this medicine really works… I’m getting better, it’s incredible!”

Jiang Xue’s face became rosier, her eyes were full of vitality, and the smile on her lips became more obvious. Jiang He just smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Xue noticed Jiang He’s expression and sighed:
“Brother… I’m fine now. You should be happy for me. Today is a day worth celebrating for the entire first and second floors.”

Jiang He shook his head slightly:

“Sister, once you get better, you will go to Yuta Academy again, right?”

Jiang Xue hesitated for a second, but still nodded.

The recent epidemic made her think that she might no longer have the chance to become a new student at the Desire Tower College in the Three Towers College.

Unlike Luta Academy, Yuta is a place that everyone wants to go to, so there are many people with connections in Yuta Academy.

Jiang Xue is very beautiful, and her beauty can be said to be stunning.

But the disease would quickly make her become haggard. To compete with those people with connections, Jiang Xue had to be in the best condition.

Appearance is also a kind of wealth, which is particularly prominent in Yuta Academy. For ordinary people to enter Yuta Academy, the hard condition is external configuration.

Jiang Xue knew very well that if she contracted the disease, regardless of whether she could recover, her sickly appearance would make it difficult for her to stand out.

Originally, she thought God had blocked that road.

Jiang He said:

“Little sister, I can go to the Luta Academy and fight hard, and I can support you for the rest of your life!”

“Just because I failed this time doesn’t mean I will fail next time! I will keep exercising, and I believe I will be able to enter the Luta Academy next time. Can you promise me that you won’t go to the Yuta Academy?”

“That place… is really bad.”

Jiang He really cared about it and was so anxious that tears appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Xue lowered her head, her voice soft but unquestionable:
“Yes, I know my brother will fight for me, and I also know that place is not a good one.”

“What can women in the Desire Tower Academy learn? How to charm people, how to please people, how to seduce people?”

“The Desire Tower Academy is full of nobles. If a girl who only has good looks but no family background goes there… who knows what she will encounter.”

“Maybe it’s more dangerous than the Desire Tower itself?”

“And even after graduation, heh, you might be assigned to some high-level…special institutions.”

“Brother, I know everything. I know everything. I know it all.”

“But our family…is poor!”

Jiang Xue slowly raised her head. The usually gentle girl now had fierce eyes. Jiang Shan felt his sister’s hand exerting force:

“We are people at the bottom of society. Our lives are humble. We are the ones that the people above us try every means to stay away from. If it weren’t for Wen Xishu, my brother and I would probably have died quietly on the ground in pain at some point.”

“We wandered around, we gathered, we shouted and protested, hoping that people at the top would come and rescue us…but they closed the passage.”

“We are people who can be abandoned at any time! In their eyes, we are nothing!”

“Brother, I don’t want this! I can endure all the humiliation, but I don’t want to be left with nothing to hold on to after being humiliated.”

“It doesn’t matter if I’m insulted, bullied, mocked, or even… I have to pay more. I’m going to climb up!”

There were tears in Jiang Xue’s eyes.

She thought about the beatings and humiliations her brother had suffered over the years in order to protect her.

In order to survive, I have suffered so much oppression. In order to support my studies, I have endured so much hardship.

Children from poor families have to grow up early, and Jiang Xue realized very early that beauty alone is actually a burden.

“I will climb to the top of the bunker! I will trample those who bully me under my feet! I will do my best to become someone who can stand on my own. One day, no one will dare to talk about the humiliation of my past.”

“Brother, I want to protect you too. I won’t let go of any of those who have hurt you. I want to have power and authority, even if it means doing the most despicable things!”

Jiang Xue spoke every word softly, but each word was filled with boundless hatred, and she gnashed her teeth in hatred.

Jiang He’s tears fell. He knew he couldn’t persuade his sister, so he could only hold her in his arms.

I can only pray that my sister’s career will go smoothly.

……

Countless people were hugging each other, countless people were crying.

Wen Xishu didn’t know how many people’s destinies he had changed.

He only knew… if no one came to save him, his fate would probably end today.

On the fourth floor of the bunker, Wen Xishu’s interrogation was still going on.

Xie Changfeng beat Wen Xishu for a long time.

Wen Xishu’s consciousness was already somewhat blurred, and the medicine had not yet been used on him, but he estimated…

If I fainted and didn’t tell anyone, Xie Changfeng would use drugs.

The effect of angering Xie Changfeng has been gradually weakening.

Especially… he was really weak, so weak that he couldn’t think of any sharp lines to curse.
