After Sun Mingze left, Han Ning asked the question in his heart while they were eating.
“Professor, who was that person just now? You seemed very cold to him?”
Bai Yu replied casually, “Sun Mingze, the eldest son of the Sun family and the next heir of the family.”
Holy shit…
Han Ning was shocked.
This mentor of his was really ruthless. He did not even give face to the future family head of the Sun family!
Han Ning stopped asking after getting his answer.
Bai Yu’s attitude towards Sun Mingze involved some matters regarding the upper echelons of the Sun family. These things were not for him to care about.
For the next few days, the master and disciple experimented and lived their lives.
During this period, the two of them worked together to extract some Divine Blood Ant’s genes for the military to use and Han Ning also benefited greatly from this. The Divine Blood Ant’s genes on his status were stored to 180 points.
It was a pity that there were not many of these beasts, and they could not be stored in large quantities. Otherwise, Han Ning would have made a fortune long ago!
However, Han Ning also noticed that Bai Yu had started to seal some important things these few days and seemed to be preparing to leave.
After Han Ning asked several times, Bai Yu smiled and said, “Those old things that are about to be buried won’t give up. In order to survive, they will definitely let us migrate.”
As expected, a week later, the order to move was sent to the research institute.
Along with the order were also guards who helped the research institute move.
Bai Yu was not surprised at all. He briefed some things to be taken note of in an orderly manner.
After a day, all the important things in the research institute were collected. Together with Bai Yu, Han Ning embarked on the transfer journey overnight.
The Longevity Worm was discovered on another planet, and everyone had to take a spaceship over. During this process, they had to pass through a hyperspace tunnel similar to a wormhole, so everyone had to enter the sleep capsule to hibernate in order to resist the fluctuations inside the wormhole.
Before boarding the ship, Han Ning had asked Bai Yu why human technology could be launched in space but would fail to work on the planet.
In the end, Bai Yu told him that he only studied genes and did not know any advanced technological knowledge.
As such, Han Ning could only bury this question in his heart.
After arriving at their destination, Han Ning found out that the military leader of this operation was Zhang Jingyuan’s trusted aide, Su Jie.
Before this, Han Ning had already realized that this relocation might be a chance for him to leave the Sun family, so he had to make use of the time to obtain some useful information.
Hence, Han Ning found an opportunity to get close to Su Jie.
Using Zhang Jingyuan’s name, Han Ning soon got to know him.
The two of them rode side by side on the dimensional beasts as they conversed.
As he spoke, Han Ning learned that this planet had been named Project 4. Compared to the development planet, this place was even more desolate, and the battle between humans and beasts was even more brutal.
As the two of them were chatting, a roar came from the front.
“Kill! Kill this monster!”
“Bastard! Smack its head! Are you trying to kill us?!”
…
Hearing the roar, Su Jie seemed to be very interested. He turned to Han Ning and said, “You’ve been staying at the research institute all this time. You haven’t seen any real fighting, right?”
Han Ning nodded. Su Jie laughed and said, “That won’t do. As the second lieutenant of our military, how can you not see blood!”
Then, Su Jie turned around and ordered, “Rest for half an hour!”
He then called out to Han Ning, “Come, I’ll bring you over to take a look!”
As soon as he said that, Su Jie rode his beast forward quickly. Han Ning glanced at Bai Yu and quickly followed Su Jie after gaining his approval.
The two came to a hill. Han Ning looked up and saw four or five people attacking a dying dimensional beast on the hilltop.
The dimensional beast’s body was like a giant rock, its head and tail were indistinguishable. Dark green blood was gushing out from every part of its body.
The few of them held crude weapons in their hands as they carefully attacked the dimensional beasts.
The severely injured dimensional beast let out a hoarse roar. Just as everyone thought that it had lost its ability to resist, the dimensional beast’s huge body rolled on the ground, crushing the two people in front of it into meat paste!
The two people behind immediately took the opportunity to stab their weapons into the dimensional beast’s body!
But right at this moment, an unexpected event occurred!
The human who had not made a move all this while actually took advantage of the moment when the two of them attacked to cut off their companion’s arm!
“Why—!”
Han Ning was stunned by the series of changes and bloody scenes.
Su Jie crossed his arms and said calmly, “How is it? Do you find it incomprehensible?”
Han Ning nodded blankly.
It was easy to understand why dimensional beasts and humans were fighting each other for their lives.
However, what Han Ning didn’t understand was why these companions would kill their own people when the beast was still alive!
Su Jie saw through his confusion and explained, “There’s no need to be surprised. Life is now divided into different levels, and the origin power contained within the dimensional beast is the key to raising one’s level of life!”
Su Jie then explained everything to Han Ning.
From Su Jie, Han Ning learned that other than Normal and Origin, there was still a more advanced level of life called Primal.
As for the even higher levels, Su Jie did not know either.
If one wanted to evolve to a higher level of life, one would have to devour the blood and flesh of the dimensional beasts in order to obtain the origin power within their bodies.
The reason those people had killed each other was so that they could monopolize the origin power within the dimensional beast’s body and obtain better evolution.
Han Ning didn’t understand this because he had never experienced a fight in the wilderness.
In fact, in the entire Dimension, apart from the military and some large factions, there were always all sorts of conflicts between solo hunters.
In the wilderness, it was common for partners who had cooperated sincerely a second ago to stab each other in the back for benefits.
While the two of them were conversing, the battle in the distance had already ended.
What made Han Ning’s hair stand on end was that none of the five humans survived due to the backstabbing and prolonged battle. Instead, the severely injured dimensional beast dragged its broken body and stumbled away.
“Let’s go.”
It was as if Su Jie had watched a great show and he walked back contentedly.
Han Ning asked with lingering fear, “These guys are so crazy, what if they attack us?”
One had to understand that their mounts were also dimensional beasts!
Su Jie waved his hand. “Don’t worry. These people are not stupid enough to provoke our military. Otherwise, with their limited resources, they will be reduced to ashes in no time!”
Han Ning was relieved.
It seemed that no matter when, the army was always powerful.
After the two returned to the team, everyone set off again.
After another three days of trekking, everyone finally arrived at their destination.
This was an empty plain with unknown plants growing on it. It looked much more beautiful than the wilderness.
Su Jie called for people to unload the equipment and found Bai Yu at the same time. “Researcher Bai, this is the new research facility. The military will help you complete the basic infrastructure in the coming days.”
Bai Yu nodded and started explaining his plans for the new research institute to Su Jie.
Han Ning took this opportunity to observe his surroundings so that he could familiarize himself with the environment. This was a preparation he had to make if he wanted to escape this area in the future..
