The words grew quieter towards the end.
Shan Ye Yechuan looked at him in astonishment. Just as Gang Taitainan had said before, Gang Shiyilang pushed the female corpse hurriedly into the laboratory.
And now there were still no results, and they were making excuses, saying they had to wait for the research institute!
Thinking of this, Shan Ye Yechuan had already come to a conclusion in his heart. He was immediately furious, unable to repress the burning anger within him any longer!
He suddenly kicked Gang Shiyilang. This unexpected kick sent the well-trained 1.78-meter tall Gang Shiyilang flying four or five meters, collapsing uncontrollably to the ground!
The severe pain from his abdomen made his head feel groggy!
The entire conference hall instantly fell silent. Everyone turned and stared at the scene in astonishment!
They had never witnessed such a scene before. Since Shan Ye Yechuan took office, no such incident had ever occurred. Everyone seemed to understand; it might be due to the enormous pressure he was under.
They all felt sorry for Gang Shiyilang, who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time!
In reality, there were other reasons mixed in with Shan Ye Yechuan’s anger. Based on his reactions, one could deduce a thing or two.
And from Gang Shiyilang’s words, it was clear his admiration for the female corpse, and his flickering eyes revealed his guilty conscience.
"Do you know those people came from Atlantis!"
"They died within the Divine Light Country’s borders and it’s already unexplainable. If they request the bodies back and discover something from them, how do you expect Divine Light Country to explain?!"
"What you’ve done is inhumane!!?"
Shan Ye Yechuan sternly rebuked; his anger was still unresolved, wishing he could kick him a few more times!
"No, impossible!"
"I didn’t! I really didn’t! I was just admiring her figure!"
Gang Shiyilang hastily tried to explain while retreating, nearly causing Shan Ye Yechuan to pull out his gun and shoot him!
All the professionals from various departments present were terrified, breaking into a cold sweat at the thought of being shot for poor performance!
Seeing the shock on the others’ faces in the conference room, Shan Ye Yechuan had to put away his gun.
"Leave it to the military court to handle!"
Shan Ye Yechuan sighed, motioning for the guards to take Gang Shiyilang away.
Gang Taitainan was the happiest inside, not only because he lost a political rival but also because he took credit for avoiding the disgrace of his inaction on Jingli Mountain.
Not long after Gang Shiyilang was taken away, news from the research institute arrived with the latest autopsy report.
However, the news they provided left all the professionals present dumbfounded!
The head of the corpse was severely burned by high temperatures, turning the skin and flesh to ashes!
Only the skull was left, and even the brain had turned to ashes!
The dissection of the body revealed no traces of gunshots, leading them to conclude the cause of death was the head being burned!
And it was a quick death, with no signs of resistance or struggle!
One male corpse was found with multiple bruises and several broken bones, but the fatal injury was also the head being burned by extremely high temperatures!
The research institute explained that there are many potential causes for such high temperatures!
Excluding lava, as lava’s temperature would have turned even the skull into ashes!
The temperature was evidently lower than lava, but higher than normal flame guns!
Capable of instantly turning human flesh to bone!
The research institute proposed two hypotheses: one was some newly developed "new material weapon!"
The other, more credible, was "chemical substances!"
Indeed, some chemical substances can corrode human flesh instantly, but this has not been confirmed yet; it remains speculation by the institute!
In response to the report, the Volcano Research Institute’s conference room fell silent before breaking into a cacophony of discussion!
The conference hall was abuzz with discussion for a long time. Finally, everyone oddly turned their gaze to the large screen in unison!
Shan Ye Yechuan had also made a judgment!
"That figure practicing cultivation!"
"It’s highly likely it was his doing!"
"Compared to chemical substances, I believe more in the killing methods of that figure!"
"It must be that!"
"Otherwise, these series of miracles can’t be explained!"
Shan Ye Yechuan, his eyes dazed, pondered for a long time. Finally, he slammed the table, making up his mind.
"Return the bodies to Atlantis, saying they died in the volcano!"
"Do not reveal anything else!"
Gang Taitainan was about to carry out the orders when Shan Ye Yechuan called him back!
"Wait!"
"Calculate the number of casualties caused by the volcano, find a few more bodies from Atlantis, and hand them over together!"
"Also, the exploration team at the Jingli Mountain volcano should not stop for a moment! Report any new findings to me at any time, 24/7!"
"Additionally, Gang Taitainan, the commander of the emergency response team will now be replaced by you!"
A long-lost smile appeared on Gang Taitainan’s face. Though it seemed like a mere smile, inside, he was overjoyed.
This unexpected good news seemed somewhat anticipated, yet sudden.
He dared not delay Shan Ye Yechuan’s orders, quickly assuming command of the emergency response team, and began organizing the casualty statistics.
...
...
In a spicy hot pot restaurant near Imperial Capital University in Great Xia Kingdom.
"Beichen, during your trip to Divine Light Country, did you get any local young beauties?"
"Yeah, yeah, I heard their masters are skilled in all kinds of tricks! So enticing, making you not want to come back!"
"..."
Han Yuan grinned at Lin Beichen, while Liang Dong with a simple smile echoed the topic.
In fact, they had seen some information about Divine Light Country online and were just trying to get confirmation from Lin Beichen.
"You guys are so perverted. Do you think Beichen is that kind of person?"
Wu You couldn’t bear to listen any longer, feeling that Han Yuan was leading Liang Dong astray!
Lin Beichen did not rush to explain. Instead, he sipped the clear broth of the dual-flavored hot pot, biting into a piece of soft black corn. Seeing Han Yuan was still intent on questioning, Lin Beichen stepped on his foot under the table, face remaining stoic.
"You guys should stop reflecting your battle scenes from your phones onto others!"
"My bad, my bad!"
"Just curious, you know!"
Han Yuan, clutching his foot, realized his mistake, noticing that after returning from Divine Light Country, Lin Beichen’s aura had changed significantly!
He had become more composed, with an inscrutable depth!
Han Yuan and Liang Dong, finding that they couldn’t extract anything from Lin Beichen, dropped the idea but still felt he was hiding something yet couldn’t pinpoint what.
"Hey Beichen, did you hear? Imperial Capital University is holding a sports meet soon!"
"With your kick earlier, I think you should sign up!"
A thought popped into Han Yuan’s mind, recalling the university’s sports meet in half a month.
"But the competition is pretty stiff! Back in high school, I was second in city-level athletics, but here, I dare not say I could rank!"
Liang Dong’s opinion piqued Wu You’s curiosity, prompting him to ask:
"No way, are there that many skilled people in Imperial Capital University? Even a city-level second could sink unnoticed?"
"Unlikely!!"
Wu You and Han Yuan both thought Liang Dong was exaggerating.
"It’s true!"
"This university doesn’t only admit students based on academic scores!"
"There are also special talent students admitted for their high competition achievements!"
"For example, the city’s 100-meter first place in high school participates in East Mountain Province’s finals and gets sixth place in that session!"
"Nevertheless, such a provincial sixth place is nothing here; there are plenty who have first places provincially!"
"So, are you genuinely encouraging Beichen to join or just making fun of him?"
Liang Dong shared his opinion, immediately drawing everyone’s attention to Lin Beichen to hear his thoughts.
