One morning passed and the final grade was calculated. Five children, including Bai Nan, were selected. They and the outstanding children of other classes were sent to the seventh floor of the Garden of Eden for education while Lin Zuo was rotated to the third floor to take new children. An Zhe and Colin officially became the class teachers for the remaining children. Their task was to take the children to a military base and take care of them during the military training and assessment.

The main city was very efficient. In the afternoon, they took a shuttle bus to a military training ground in the city along with the children from other classes.

The wind on the training ground was very strong and brought fine sand, but the children were very excited as they ran around in the open field. The personnel from the military responsible for screening them came over and An Zhe and Colin were left idle. They could look around.

Sitting side by side on the iron bench, Colin suddenly spoke. He and An Zhe hadn’t communicated with each other all month.

“I’m willing to let go of my hatred for the Judge,” he said.

An Zhe glanced at him and found that Colin’s gaze went through layers of buildings and stared at the grey Eden in the distance with a very cold expression. Colin looked over there and continued, “It is because the entire city is as cold and callous as the Judge.”

An Zhe asked, “Why?”

“Have you seen the Garden of Eden? It is like a hive.”

Garden of Eden was a huge hexagonal building and it was indeed similar to a hive. An Zhe didn’t say anything and Colin kept talking to himself.

“Garden of Eden is the queen bee who produces tens of thousands of children every year. From the age of three, they are subjected to difficult assessments to select a small number with the highest IQ, letting them stay in the future for scientific research or something else. These children are useful to the main city and are the male bees, so they can get the superior living conditions of the main city. The others are worker bee who are assigned to the outer city with poor conditions. The base controls the food and water supply and the worker bees can only become mercenaries, desperately going out into the wild to bring supplies back to the base to survive. These supplies are used by the base to benefit the main city.”

He sneered, “This is how the entire base operates. The people valuable to the main city are the talented ones. They bombed District 6 without any distress at all. It is because the people of the outer city were originally what they discarded.”

An Zhe, “However, the main city is only big enough for a few people to live in.”

Colin turned to him. “Do you think they’re doing the right thing?”
