Chapter 4, The Riot at the Zero Dormitory
Schools like the Seventh Intermediate Academy prioritize the cultivation of Evolvers as their foremost task. However, the title of Evolver symbolizes a power that surpasses that of ordinary individuals, and this is increasingly true at higher levels. So, what should be done when conflicts arise among students? What if a student's evolution process becomes distorted? At such times, a strong and capable security team is required. Therefore, the security team of a school is the most formidable armed force within that institution. What if a student's evolution process becomes distorted?

These silk threads surged forth, embracing the stinger with an extremely gentle demeanor, entangling it. Even in the exceedingly slow vision of Shu Yu, the speed of entanglement was astonishingly fast; in an instant, it had completely 'wrapped' around the entire massive bee, transforming it entirely into a pupa
The white cocoon floated in mid-air, surrounded by a thin layer of light, and in that moment, it evoked a somewhat sacred feeling
A drop of blood was right at the spot where the sharp tip was close to the skin, and Shu Yu could not determine whether this drop of blood was his own or Lao Ding's. The sharp tip just touched that drop of blood. Shu Yu clearly saw countless white threads surging out from that drop of blood, the threads so fine that it was unbelievable. At that moment, Shu Yu even doubted whether it was just his own illusion
Shu Yu's hand pressed against the center of his chest, where he felt nothing, yet he knew that beneath it lay a mysterious and powerful entity. A subtle joy surged within him.
Everything around suddenly returned to its original speed. When Shu Yu "woke up," the crisis seemed to have been averted. The bee was gone, leaving only a large pupa in front of the picture book, and it was unclear what was hidden inside.
As Shu Yu emerged from the basement, he saw a concrete slab crashing down towards him, and he rolled and crawled to avoid it. However, he then noticed a turtle shell flying over with a "bang," colliding with the concrete slab and shattering it into pieces, before landing on the ground and spinning around twice.
School security team! Shu Yu made a judgment in an instant
However, after walking for a while, he realized that he did not need to worry about this at all! Every person he encountered on the road seemed to be immersed in their own world, not even glancing at him. The education Shuyu received since childhood informed him that this was a typical symptom of the first mutation of an evolved being! What shocked him even more was that every person he passed along the way had entered a mutated state and was in the process of evolution
Quickly hide, do not let anyone feel that you are in any way unusual
He walked in shock towards his bedroom on the second floor, a journey he had taken for two years suddenly transformed into a perilous ordeal. The floorboards collapsed, the walls cracked, and various unknown attacks continuously assailed him, as if the entire building were trembling
Shu Yu vigorously wiped the blood from his chest, which had completely dried. The deep red powder fell away as he wiped, leaving quite a bit on his hands. The blood was smeared in disarray, yet the wound remained unseen.
He stood up in confusion, bewildered by everything that had happened.
His heart began to race faster and faster, thoughts racing through his mind as he contemplated how to give it a try At that moment, a sudden sound of synchronized footsteps echoed from downstairs
Now the pain is gradually fading, but the blood cannot be taken back, still mottled and stained on the body, making it look as if he has sustained serious injuries. As a result, he walks very cautiously, for if he is discovered, it would be difficult to explain.
He curiously placed his hand over the cocoon, and just as his hand made contact, the white shell suddenly vanished completely. A person fell to the ground with a thud, unconscious. Shu Yu was taken aback; he recognized this person, it was Mo Shenke from the dormitory next door!
Oh? What is happening? Could it be that the wound is healing?
In less than a minute, Shu Yu saw four or five Evolvers appearing before him in various ways. As long as he could see their faces, he recognized them all; they were students from the eight classes of different grades living in this dormitory.
In a moment of urgent thought, Shu Yu had already made up his mind to keep this secret. He looked around, and suddenly a door beside him was blown open, with a branch from a tree stretching out from the entrance, waving triumphantly. This was precisely the dormitory he was in
He immediately realized he had miscalculated. As soon as he approached the tree, it suddenly waved its branches and swept him up, shaking him vigorously in mid-air. The various items that Shu Yu had stuffed into the pocket of his school uniform fell out with a clatter, scattering all over the floor. He was shaken so much that he felt dizzy and could only cry out loudly, unable to say anything else
He suppressed the urge to scratch, when suddenly a mutant flew towards him. This mutant was a typical insect-type mutation as depicted in *illustrations*, to be more precise, he had transformed entirely into a giant yellow bee... A bee nearly the size of a human buzzed towards Shu Yu, and even with his psychological resilience, he couldn't help but be startled.
Why have so many evolutionary phenomena suddenly emerged? What has happened
In this moment, a beam of light streaked by like electricity, snapping against the wall twice before shooting out through a gap; in the next instant, countless vines seeped down from the cracks in the ceiling, with the roots clearly visible as numerous fingers, stretching and curling as if trying to grasp something; in another moment, a person’s chest swelled, emitting a "clack clack" sound, boldly moving from one door to another, and with the sound he produced, the walls and debris resonated, with fine cracks spreading everywhere.

It drew closer to itself, the sharp tip pressing against its skin, a slight chill seeping through.
Shu Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that all these events are related to that mysteriously appearing blood-red heart? Although he has not evolved, does he possess other abilities? Is the disappearance of Mo Shenke's mutation a result of his own abilities?
Shu Yu recognized that face; it belonged to a classmate! What has happened? Has he mutated?
The tree seems to be merely swaying and does not exhibit any aggression. Shu Yu, in a hurry to enter, squeezed in beside the trunk.
He watched in horror as the sharp, pointed thorn came towards him, glinting with a faint green light, as if to announce to others, "I am poisonous like a book." The surface of the thorn was lined with spiral grooves, and Shuyu could easily imagine that once it pierced through him, it would have no resistance against his bones, directly puncturing through.
He immediately thought of his roommates, wondering who had turned into this state. After pondering for a moment, he decided against experimenting on these brothers. If those white threads were to eliminate the mutation process, it would be directly detrimental to them.
Why do our wounds completely disappear?
It seems that everyone in the Zero Dormitory is evolving
What exactly are the white threads that just surged from the blood?
It now appears that the blood-red heart is what caused the students of the Zero Dormitory—now seemingly all students—to undergo mutations simultaneously, and it seems to have the ability to eliminate the mutations in others as well... How did it come to be? What exactly is its function?
When he came up from the basement, he was covered in blood. Most of it was from Lao Ding dripping onto him, and a portion was from the wound Lao Ding had inflicted on his chest, from which blood flowed out. The initial pain from the wound was excruciating, making even breathing feel somewhat difficult. With each breath, it felt as if the wound on his chest was being tugged, causing a persistent, dull ache.
Such a peculiar situation has occurred in the Zero Dormitory, where the entire building has been turned upside down by a large number of Evolvers. It can be said that the security team's failure to respond would constitute a serious dereliction of duty
He crouched down to check Mo Shenke's breathing. His respiration was normal, his complexion rosy, and all vital signs were completely normal, showing no signs of mutation whatsoever. He has recovered! The mutation phenomenon has disappeared! Has he stabilized? Or has he returned to his original state? Shu Yu was momentarily unable to make a judgment.
The movement was so swift that Shu Yu could not react at all. Just as he was about to be stabbed in the chest, he suddenly felt that, along with himself, the actions of everything around him had all slowed down.
The first floor is occupied by first-year students, and it is not easy to reach the second floor, where familiar faces become increasingly numerous. Everyone is undergoing changes, with no exceptions. Meanwhile, there is something strange flowing within his chest, not in the usual location of the heart, but in the area that was just pierced by Lao Ding, which still bears a gruesome wound. Deep within the wound, it seems that something is flowing, causing an unbearable itch.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that the wound on his chest was neither painful nor itchy, and he felt completely numb! Had he been poisoned? He looked down in astonishment, and to his shock, the wound had vanished! His chest was smooth!
He stared in astonishment; after a few seconds, a head and four limbs emerged from the turtle shell, with eyes blissfully closed. It lazily moved its limbs a few times, indicating that it was swimming
The Zero Dormitory is unaware of what has happened, and it has become completely chaotic
Why is it able to eliminate the mutated state of Moshenke
The "bee" seems to have been startled, its flight somewhat unsteady and wavering. As soon as it brushed against Shuyu, it immediately reacted like a reflex, retracting and extending its tail, darting towards him like lightning
Shu Yu carefully avoided everything and suddenly discovered a peculiar phenomenon
The dust from the cement board gradually settled, and Shu Yu was astonished to discover that the dormitory had fallen into extreme chaos
