The System Arrived Four Years Early, but the Anomaly Is Still a Juvenile

Chapter 64

At that moment, everyone present—including Shen Ge—shared the same thought:

If this guy kept tinkering like this, the SCD was bound to trigger a high-tier aberration incident sooner or later!

In the past, even one aberration incident per year was considered frequent, leaving few corpses for researchers to experiment with. But since Shen Ge joined the SCD, he’d brought in aberration corpses in just one week, giving the Tech Division plenty of material to work with.

To push the limits of the Rat aberration’s regenerative abilities, Li Xiang had requested cross-research on multiple aberration corpses. The moment he got his hands on the octopus aberration’s blood, he’d rushed to conduct experiments.

And before that? He’d tried feeding the to the Rat.

Li Xiang played the lab recordings from the past few days, revealing how the Rat had ballooned from the size of a house cat to that of a full-grown leopard in such a short time.

Li Xiang explained.

Before he could finish, Deng Yuqi massaged her temples and cut in: not

Li Xiang argued.

Deng Yuqi countered. two

Li Xiang reluctantly nodded, shelving his plans to feed the Rat the Car and Brain aberrations’ remains.

Still, the discovery that was alarming. If an outbreak occurred, flooding the streets with aberrations…

A chill ran down Shen Ge’s spine. this

The “survival of the fittest” among aberrations meant that as their numbers surged, it would only take one dominant predator to escalate into a catastrophe.

After leaving the Tech Division, Deng Yuqi turned to Shen Ge.

Once inside, Deng Yuqi first commended Shen Ge’s quick thinking and leadership during the recent operation. Then, she gently urged him to to weigh national interests when handling future incidents.

Shen Ge shrugged. duty

On his first day at the SCD, he’d genuinely tried to fit in. But the more he bonded with his colleagues, the more he questioned:

Shen Ge lacked a soldier’s mindset. He didn’t grasp that was an unwavering creed—not a cost-benefit analysis.

This fundamental disconnect made assimilation impossible. Deng Yuqi sighed, recognizing the deadlock.

She burned with curiosity about Shen Ge’s three years at Rongshan Psychiatric Hospital—what horrors had left him so detached from life itself? But the records had vanished in a fire, leaving her with no answers.

Knowing persuasion was futile for now, she changed the subject.

Leaning back with a casual smile, Shen Ge asked,

Deng Yuqi feigned ignorance.

she admitted, sliding a file across the desk.

Shen Ge skimmed the report. As expected, both the hospital and Tech Division concluded the same thing:

human

Deng Yuqi’s expression tightened.

Shen Ge returned the file and left to retrieve the operational archives.

…..

At the Operations Division, Feng Chengxiu and the team greeted him like an old friend—until Feng slung an arm around his neck with a grin that didn’t reach his eyes.

Shen Ge replied smoothly, recognizing the setup.

Feng cracked his knuckles.

Feng dropped into a stance.

Friendly? Hardly.

This was a duel—
