Chapter 5 The Declaration

“Our time is limited. I need your answer by the morning after tomorrow at the latest.” Yuan Wen took out a form from a small file bag she carried with her and slowly pushed it in front of Li Tianran. “If you agree, fill out the application form today. If you don’t… I’ll come again the day after tomorrow, but I’ll bring the enforcement team with me.”

This was a military police job application form, and the information required to be filled in was very detailed.

At the end of the application form was an oath of enlistment.

“This declaration requires you to copy it and swear to it,” Yuan Wen said, pointing to that passage.

Li Tianran’s gaze fell on the words.

I swear to voluntarily become a city military police officer of the Yanhuang Federation, dedicate myself to the noble cause of maintaining judicial justice, resolutely be loyal to the country, protect citizens, enforce the law fairly, and uphold justice! I will strive for the people of Yanhuang to live and work in peace and contentment for the rest of my life!

This was a declaration that could deeply shake the soul.

Li Tianran solemnly put it away.

“I want to ask… are military police colleagues allowed to date each other?” Li Tianran suddenly asked this question for no apparent reason.

Yuan Wen raised her eyebrows, a little shy and annoyed.

Li Tianran laughed, revealing his white teeth. “Just kidding.”

To be honest, he did have some feelings for Yuan Wen.

Yuan Wen was beautiful, intellectual, and didn't have the fiery temper of most female police officers. Instead, she was very gentle, and most importantly, she cared about Hanhan.

If he could be with her, that… would be a wonderful thing, right?

Yuan Wen didn't respond, which made Li Tianran a little disappointed.

But he quickly let it go.

Yuan Wen had a big background; she was the daughter of Yuan Zhenghong, a senior police superintendent. On the surface, he was just an ordinary farmer, and there was a big gap between their identities. It was no wonder she didn't respond.

In fact, this was just a beautiful vision in Li Tianran's heart.

He didn't know what the future world would be like.

When survival became the most important theme in life, love became a secondary need.

If it was possible, of course, it would be good; if it wasn't possible, then there was no need to wallow in it.

Li Tianran stood up and went to the kitchen.

“My father and mother met, fell in love, married, and had children as colleagues in the military police department,” Yuan Wen suddenly said, not looking at Li Tianran, but deliberately turning her gaze to the window. “So I think it should be possible…”

Li Tianran's body stiffened for a moment, and joy was surging in his heart.

He felt an emotion called "heartbeat" quietly sprouting in his chest, rapidly growing…

“Are you hungry?” Li Tianran turned his head, with a bright smile on his face. “I’ll make you some noodles.”

Thirty minutes later, Yuan Wen left.

Li Tianran sat at the dining table, looking at the large porcelain bowl with only a little soup left, and sighed, "I didn't expect Officer Yuan to be so easy to feed…"

Li Tianran thought that someone from Yuan Wen's family must have been used to a life of luxury and fine food, and he didn't know if his simple food would suit her taste. But he didn't expect that a big bowl of hot mutton noodles with scallions would conquer Yuan Wen's taste buds.

She ate it very cleanly, not even leaving a single noodle, which clearly showed that she highly approved of Li Tianran's cooking skills.

Dong, dong, dong!

Hanhan ran out, her little eyes a little strange, and stared at Li Tianran and asked, "Big brother, how's the progress?"

"Little girl, don't be so gossipy!" Li Tianran flicked her on the head, then turned and walked into the kitchen to put two large bowls of mutton noodles on the dining table and said, "Eat!"

…

Research Institute.

At this time, the research room was shrouded in an atmosphere called "deathly silence."

Everyone's mood was extremely heavy.

In front of them were nearly a thousand sheets of A4 paper filled with comparative data, which was the result of their night's hard work.

And it was these things that became the heavy punches that shattered their hopes.

After nearly twelve hours of intense work, they finally found the difference between Li Tianran's blood and ordinary people's blood.

That was… there was basically no difference.

Except that the cell activity and strength were three times higher than ordinary people, everything else was exactly the same.

If the human body is converted into a character in a game, then cell activity and strength are only the initial attributes, such as strength, stamina, intelligence, etc…

But what Bai Jingyan needed was not these!

What he needed was something beyond the basic attributes, the characteristics of gene division and recombination sequencing!

Just like special skills in the game!

But Bai Jingyan didn't see any of these things in Li Tianran's blood.

"How is this possible? Is there any detail we haven't noticed?" A researcher stared with bloodshot eyes, talking to himself.

His voice was very low, but in the silent, tomb-like research room, Bai Jingyan still heard it clearly.

"No… we have already understood all the data in this blood." Bai Jingyan stood up, his face was morbidly pale, a bit like the skin of a dead person. He took a deep breath, and a miserable smile appeared on his face. "I really didn't expect that I would be played by him…"

"What do you mean?"

"There is nothing special in this blood." Bai Jingyan said every word. "What perfect mutation, what gene combination, there is no secret worth exploring in his blood!"

Bang!

Bai Jingyan's fist landed on the bulletproof glass refrigerator next to him. He only heard a "crack", and cracks spread out from Bai Jingyan's fist on the hard, granite-like bulletproof glass cabinet.

How terrible was this power?

The power of Bai Jingyan's punch had exceeded 1900 kilograms, and could even be compared with the power of an Ak47 rifle bullet.

This was definitely not something that ordinary humans could master!

Bai Jingyan lowered his head and tore open his shirt, looking at the almost transparent skin on his chest, and looking at the mutated bones and heart under the skin, there were black stripes attached to the bones.

He knew that his power came from these things.

But these things would also kill him.

"You've been deceived!" a researcher said in a deep voice.

Bai Jingyan's mind flashed back to the punch Li Tianran threw at him at the beginning. Until now, he still couldn't believe that relying solely on three times the cell activity and strength could make Li Tianran's body do that.

The normal punching force of ordinary humans should be around 100 kilograms, while the punching force of professional boxers can reach around 300 kilograms.

If calculated according to three times the data, Li Tianran would at most be at the level of a world-class boxer, which was not enough to suppress Bai Jingyan to the point of being unable to fight back!

This exceeded the category of a "human" being!

Just like the power Bai Jingyan had obtained at this time, it was not something that could be obtained through training at all!

Li Tianran could only be a perfect mutant to explain the source of his terrifying power…

But now the facts were in front of him, and no mutated data appeared in Li Tianran's genes!

Bai Jingyan didn't speak. He felt like he was standing in an endless dark vortex at this time. The road he thought was correct had collapsed. He was shrouded in darkness. The abyss was in front of him, and the abyss was also behind him.

He walked out of the research room alone without saying hello to anyone.

Everyone looked at his back, and a strange feeling surged in their hearts.

It was like a bright star was about to dim…

Outside the research room, a female assistant came with a man wearing a black suit and sunglasses. After seeing Bai Jingyan, the man took the initiative to extend his hand and smiled brightly, "Hello, I'm Lan Ning, sent by the head office to assist you… I'm a computer expert."

Lan Ning's words were very humble, but Bai Jingyan knew his identity, the extremely powerful hacker he had told Li Tianran about.

But Bai Jingyan didn't say a word and walked straight past him.

Lan Ning was stunned and looked at Bai Jingyan's background in confusion. "What's that supposed to mean?"
