Chapter 001 The Strongest Person in the History

July was the season of the White Flowers' withering.

The white flower petals with faint red drifted down with the wind, landing on the shoulders and heads of the youths, and laying on the ground beneath their feet.

That was truly a beautiful scene.

However, not many of them enjoyed this beautiful scenery. At this moment, their eyes were focused on the illusory light screen that only displayed their adaptive value.

"Adaptive value, 64, qualified." The military officer in camouflage uniform and sunglasses chanted the results of the test in a cold and calm voice. When the young man heard the word "pass", an excited expression appeared on his face.

In the long queue behind them, countless youths revealed envious expressions.

"Adaptive value, 51, failed."

"Adaptive value, 73, qualified!"

"Adaptive value, 86! Oh my god, qualified!"

With the exclamation of an officer, the eyes of hundreds of teenagers in the square were all focused on the youth on the assessment device in the fourth examination area.

The youth complacently scanned his surroundings, and the pride on his face aroused the envy and jealousy of others.

"In our town, there is actually a talent who can reach 86?" The senior officer in the military RV next to him poked his head out of the window in surprise and looked at the young man.

"What a genius." Just like the other youths, Shen Zheng looked at the person in the instrument from afar with envy in his eyes.

"If I can... no, don't fantasize about unrealistic things." Shen Zheng thought while secretly shaking his head. "As long as my adaptive value can reach 60, then I can join the army and become a warrior. I will try my best to make countless contributions, and then Ying can live a good life..."

As he thought about it, he clenched his fists tightly, and the determination in his eyes made him look nothing like a nineteen-year-old teenager.

The stream of people continued to move forward, and it was finally Shen Zheng's turn. When this black-haired, black-eyed, neither tall nor short, and skinny young man stood on the assessment device, allowing the inspection needle to pierce into his wrist, the number on the screen beside the assessment device jumped rapidly. Starting from 00, it rapidly flipped up to 98 before stopping.

"98!?"

The crowd was boiling with excitement. Regardless of military discipline, they could not help exclaiming.

"How is this possible?" "Is the device broken?" "Impossible! No one has ever reached this number, not even the greatest hero in history!" Everyone cried out.

"A miracle!" In the RV, the senior officer stood up with a whoosh, his face alternating between red and white. He was so excited that he couldn't help but gasp, "Am I dreaming?"

"This..." The officer in charge of the exam was stunned. He stared at the screen, unsure of what to say.

Shen Zheng turned his head and was also shocked when he saw the value on the screen. He instinctively thought, "Is this device broken?"

"I'm sorry." After a while, the examiner waved at him. "This has never happened before. Would you like to try getting another assessment device?"

"Alright." Shen Zheng was a bit awkward. He was worried that his score would fall below 60. If that happened, then all his dreams would come to an end.

He came to the platform of the assessment device and let another test needle into his other wrist.

"98! It's still 98!"

The crowd screamed once more, and the testing officer's face flushed red with excitement.

"Genius! Peerless genius!" The senior officer in the RV was too excited. He crushed the pen in his hand, rushed out of the RV, and came to the instrument where Shen Zheng stood.

"Youngster!" He said excitedly, "You've passed! Welcome to White Wolf Star Wolf Ivory Corps! If nothing unexpected happens, you will be my new comrade in three days. Congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Shen Zheng was a bit at a loss as he responded. This stroke of luck had come too fiercely, so fiercely that he couldn't react in time and felt like he was dreaming.

While he looked at the envious or jealous eyes of others, walking down from the instrument in disbelief, in a military base on the White Wolf Star, a fully armed army was gathering.

"Hurry up," The leading officer shouted loudly in the rain. "This mission is very important, and very urgent. You are the most outstanding warriors in our squad. Don't embarrass me!"

"Troop commander." His adjutant stood to the side while holding an umbrella. In a low voice, he asked, "What exactly is it that you want us to transport this time? Why did you mobilize our elite special forces?"

"I don't know." The officer shook his head. "According to me, the corps commander doesn't know either. That's why he wanted to move it to the military headquarters for a final appraisal."

"That means... it might not be something important?" the adjutant asked.

"No." The officer shook his head once more. "It must be something important. You have to understand that it was discovered in the most important sealed compartment of a star system-grade warship in our warzone. Which planet would use a star system-grade warship for transport if it was not something important?"

"I'm really curious. What exactly is it?" the adjutant asked curiously.

"You don't have to know what you shouldn't know," the officer said, "The duty of a soldier is to perfectly complete the superior's order."

At this moment, on the White Wolf Star, outside of Wolf Ivory Town, Shen Zheng was running out excitedly.

This was the highest adaptive value in the history of the White Wolf Star!

He couldn't believe it was true, but the registration card was given to him by the senior officer in charge of the entrance examination personally. It lay in his hand, and the exquisite cracks on the card were shining from time to time.

Carefully putting away his card, Shen Zheng ran excitedly in the direction of his home.

Home... In that small apartment, his only family lived in a small room that cost 80 yuan a month. His sister, Shen Ying, whom he cared about the most. It was precisely because she lived in that small apartment that his home was so warm.

At this moment, he wanted to tell his sister as soon as possible and let her know that they didn't have to worry about the rent in the future and being driven out by the landlord. He wanted to share this joy and happiness with his sister.

Of course, there was another kind of happiness that he could not share with his sister. It was his own secret, a secret that prevented him from losing his sister. It was also the main reason why he joined the army.

Wolf Ivory Town was not big, but it was also not small. Rich people with huge assets lived in towering buildings. Their luxury cars were parked downstairs. In the market, there were bustling shopping malls, luxury shops, entertainment venues...

This was another world that Shen Zheng did not dare to hope for.

Those apartments in the slums, which were as dense as an ant nest, were the world that Shen Zheng was familiar with. His biggest wish was to own a house that really belonged to him in such apartments.

"I'll live an ordinary life with my sister, and then occasionally buy some beautiful dresses for her with some spare money. In the future, I'll find a decent boyfriend for her, hold her hand, and send her to another happy family."

That would be a wonderful life!

In the past, that was an extravagant hope, but now, this kind of life was about to come true.

Shen Zheng was so excited that he couldn't help thinking of the history that he had learned in the past—

More than 1,000 years had passed since the civilization of the White Wolf Star took shape. More than 1,000 years ago, the researchers of the White Wolf Star, who had fled from the Earth because of the scourge of bugs, flew here on an old spaceship and began their business trip. In the 1,000 years, they carried forward the "bug technology" brought by the Earth and formed a brilliant civilization of the White Wolf Star.

Now, the technology civilization based on "bugs" had developed to a considerable extent, from daily necessities to large spaceships that could travel in the universe.

To this day, no one knew where these "bugs" came from and why they could spread throughout the universe. People only knew that in history books, there was a day more than a thousand years ago that countless "bugs" invaded their ancient hometown—Earth, and destroyed the civilization of their ancestors.

Meanwhile, the tenacious humans, through endless struggles against "bugs", finally obtained a glimmer of life for themselves, moreover developing a new civilization through a hundred years of war – "bug civilization".

There were all types of "bugs". They weren't just small, powerless things the human race knew about, but rather things that grew from the size of ants to the size of cosmos warships, monsters with all types of abilities, external appearances, and characteristics. They were strange and unique, and after the intelligent humans were caught unprepared and defeated, they finally used their intelligence to find a way to defeat them. They used the newly emerged "imitate bugs", creating all types of tools based on the bug's abilities, using the bug's power to strengthen themselves, possessing the power to contend against the bug, and reconstructing human civilization.

However, the human race on earth, perhaps because the bug civilization started too late and their levels too low, still failed in the end. That was why more than a thousand years ago, countless humans were forced to flee from their homeland, drifting through the cosmos, all the way until they found another residence.

But there seemed to be no planet without bugs in the universe.

The creators of the White Wolf Star soon found that there were also countless kinds of bugs living on this planet. Therefore, they fought against the bugs while strengthening themselves. Finally, they established the immortal White Wolf Star.

Today, the battle with the bugs was still going on. The reason why the Wolf Ivory Corps expanded their forces this time was to deal with the oncoming bug swarm - thousands if not tens of thousands of giant bugs were to attack the human world like a tide. This was called the "bug swarm".

Warriors were honorable because they could "plant bugs" in their bodies—Supermen who could integrate powerful bugs into their own bodies, and brave warriors who could protect the dignity of ordinary human beings. Therefore, their treatment was also extremely high. The monthly salary of the most ordinary soldiers was also higher than that of white-collar workers in large companies.

Therefore, for ordinary people who had no chance to go to college or squeeze into big companies, being a soldier was undoubtedly a smooth-sailing path.

Shen Zheng dropped out of high school in his first grade. He used to be a cleaner, porter, waiter... He had done almost all the work that could make money to support his family.

But fate would not be changed by his diligence.

However, it was different this time around. His fate would be changed by his genius.

He was happy and excited. Like a happy bird, he rushed all the way to the sixth floor of the old apartment and opened the rusted iron door.

"Ying!" he shouted excitedly, "Guess what I brought back?"

"What is it?" A beautiful girl with long hair came out of the room, her hand holding embroidery work. Her hair was so black, like the mysterious night sky; her skin was so white, like snowflakes in winter.

"Why are you embroidering these things again?" Shen Zheng was a bit unhappy. "They hurt your eyes too much, what if you tire them out?"

"It's nothing." The girl stuck out her tongue mischievously, showing an irresistible cuteness. "It's a holiday, and I have nothing to do. I can sell as much as I can to subsidize the family, so that you won't have to suffer so much."

"You don't have to worry about this anymore." Shen Zheng smiled, took out the registration card and stuffed it into the hands of his sister, Shen Ying.

"This is..." Shen Ying examined the shining card in his hand and looked at it in surprise. "Military registration card? Brother, you signed up for the army?"

"Indeed." Shen Zheng patted his chest proudly. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you, but in all of history..."

"Brother!" Shen Ying interrupted Shen Zheng with her tears.

"What's going on?" Shen Zheng panicked and comforted his sister in a hurry. "Ying, this is a good thing! The salary of a soldier is so high that not only can you go to school at ease, but you don't have to worry about the landlord asking for rent. When we have enough money in the future, we can even buy a house that belongs to us. That's great!"

"But soldiers are risking their lives!" Shen Ying cried. "I'd rather not study and sleep on the streets than receive a pension from the army... Brother, don't go. I don't want to study anymore. I want to find a job. We'll work hard to support this family!"

Shen Zheng looked at his sister in silence. What should he say? At this moment, he couldn't say anything. He didn't want to tell his sister that he had to risk his life not only for his own house and an ordinary happy life.

Another month ago, when his sister fainted for no reason, he received a piece of bad news from the doctor—cancer.

The doctor said that Shen Ying only had two years left to live.

After that, Shen Zheng thought of all kinds of methods, including finding black market businessmen and selling some of his organs.

Thankfully, with this expansion, he would be able to join the army and contribute as much as he could. That way, he would be able to obtain the help of a military fund to help him treat his little sister's illness.

In this era, cancer was not a disease. As long as some pest technology medical instruments were used, it could be cured within half a year. If the best instruments were used, cancer could even be cured within a month.

But the premise was a large amount of medical expenses.

Shen Zheng had no other way apart from joining the military and fighting for help from the foundation of soldiers.

"But can I tell Shen Ying?"

"Silly girl." Shen Zheng looked at his sister and wiped the tears on her face with a smile. "It's my dream to become a soldier. You should support me. Besides, I'm a lucky person. No matter how dangerous the battlefield is, it won't kill me. Don't be childish. How can you not study? You can only get a good job by going to a good university. I don't want you to be covered in mud and sweat every day like me."

"I know you did it for me." Shen Ying said with tears in her eyes, "Brother, I'm too much of a burden on you."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Zheng rushed to the kitchen. "Tell me, what do you want to eat for dinner? I'll make it for you!"

"Let me do it." Shen Ying hurriedly ran over. After the brother and sister fought in the kitchen for a while, Shen Zheng finally won and obtained the right to make dinner.

Seeing her brother busily working in the kitchen, Shen Ying secretly wiped her tears.

She remembered the scene when she was five years old and married into this family with her mother. At that time, she was timid and panicked, resisting the brother who was two years older than her stepfather.

At that time, the elder brother looked at him hiding in the corner and did not say anything. He just went back to his room, took out all his toys and delicious food, and put them in front of him.

"Don't be afraid." At that time, he said, "Brother will take care of you."

"I will take care of you." This sentence came from the mouth of a seven-year-old child, but it turned into a promise that would never change in a lifetime. When their parents were unfortunate enough to have a car accident in Shen Zheng's high school, Shen Zheng's practical actions proved how firm his promise was.

"Brother, what should I give you in return?" Shen Ying thought. "No matter how and what I have to pay, one day, I will definitely make you live the best life!"

"I won't die on the battlefield." The busy Shen Zheng was also thinking. "Otherwise, what would you do? I will live bravely, and see with my own eyes that you have a happy ending..."

He couldn't help but recall his childhood. That day, his father had hugged him and solemnly told him that after he lost his wife, there was a woman who had been passionately caring for him, taking care of him, and promised to treat Shen Zheng like her birth mother. Therefore, he decided to marry her. From tomorrow onwards, Shen Zheng would have a sister and a weak girl.

"You are the brother. You need to take good care of her." The father said.

"Don't worry." Shen Zheng nodded. "I will."

Thinking up to this point, he couldn't help but turn around, and what he saw was his little sister's gentle gaze.

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, poverty became an indifferent situation, which they did not care about. In their hearts, care and love for each other were enough for them.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of registration. And this day happened to be Shen Ying's first day of school.

Shen Zheng walked Shen Ying to the school gate, waved his hand, and left. Shen Zheng had been watching his back until he could no longer see it.

"God, please bless my brother," she prayed secretly in her heart.

With his sister's blessings, Shen Zheng walked into the base of the Wolf Ivory Corps and handed in his registration card. Looking around at the young soldiers who had reported with him, he thought of the highest degree of adaptive value he had received, and his heart was extremely excited. In his opinion, his legend was about to begin.
