5 You Want Me to Study the Starship? No, I Just Want to Receive My Prize!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A few Molotov cocktails were thrown at the taxi. Instantly, the flames spread and engulfed the entire taxi at an extremely fast speed.

George, who was sitting in the taxi, could clearly feel that the temperature in the car was starting to rise.

Wherever he looked, it was as if he had entered a sea of fire.

The crazy crowd on the street did not care whether there was anyone in the car, they simply attacked anything they could see.

"Oh my God! I can't open the car door!"

In his panic, the driver broke the lock button, which made George instantly become uneasy.

It would take long before he and the driver would be trapped in the taxi. First, they would be choked by the thick smoke that got into the car, then their bodies would be devoured by the flames that burned through the car.

"No! I have to find a way to survive!"

George forced himself to calm down from the panic. He realized that he had to find a tool to open the locked door.

Breaking the window was one way, but he did not have a tool in his hand. If he used his body to smash the window, the flames burning outside the window would cause him harm.

However, when George was still searching for something hard in the car, the door of the taxi was opened from the outside.

This caused a large amount of smoke to enter the car which almost suffocated George.

He heard the shouts of a few men.

"Don't move! We're here to save you!"

"Damn it, pull him out of the car first!"

As soon as one of the men said this, George instantly felt a pair of powerful hands grab his ankles, and the scenes in front of him were in high motion.

It was not until he felt his body spin and fall to the ground that he realized that he had left the burning taxi.

"Cough, cough, cough! Who are you..."

George first forcefully coughed out the poisonous smoke that he had just inhaled into his lungs before he began to observe the few tall and strong men in front of him.

What surprised him was that these people were wearing uniforms, as if they were fighters from a special organization.

He looked at where they were standing, and the man in the lead was the first to speak, "We're only here to save you, as for the rest, we don't know!"

The other party's answer was very simple. In fact, it wasn't even an answer at all.

George was very curious as to who was it that sent someone to save him in time when he was in a crisis.

In this chaotic street, how would they find the taxi that trapped him?

At this moment, two strong men walked to George's side. Both of them grabbed his arms at the same time.

"Take him away from here and send him to District Five!"

These people did not care about George's reaction at all, and very roughly brought him to an armored transport vehicle.

George entered the car that only had small windows on its sides. He knew that it was the wisest choice to keep his mouth shut now.

However, his brain started to become active: The person just now said to send me to District Five? What was that? I wonder if Professor Eugene will remember me? He's just a university professor though, it's probably impossible for him to save me.

The armored transport vehicle quickly drove away from the street. George could see the scenery outside through the narrow windows.

It was not until the vehicle left the chaotic street that he realized that the other streets of the city were still the same as before. Not all of the streets were filled with riots.

About half an hour later, through the small windows, George realized that the armored transport vehicle had left the city and was probably heading north.

What was the purpose of going north in this season? There was only endless cold!

George had originally thought that the armored transport vehicle would be going on forever, but to his surprise, after crossing a bridge, the vehicle left the wide road and turned into a small road.

In his field of vision, he could see the broken top of a building.

George suddenly remembered where this was. Professor Eugene had brought him here before. To be precise, this was a laboratory of Yale University, mainly used to study various unusual creatures.

This reminded him that he had once seen a cat with an IQ of a six-year-old and a strange human who could see the future here.

Though, the person who could see the future turned out to be a liar.

When the armored transport vehicle stopped in front of the building, George jumped out of the car. He did not walk around but instead waited where he was.

The man who talked to him before walked over and gestured for him to follow.

"Our mission to escort you is over. Go in directly, someone is waiting for you inside."

George looked at the man before he went in.

"Thank you for rescuing me. Can you tell me your name?"

"You can call me Buck."

After saying that, the man turned around and walked to the passenger seat of the vehicle. Before he entered the armored transport vehicle, he shouted another sentence, "Perhaps we'll meet again soon!"

George raised his arm to make a gesture at the man, then entered the building in front of him.

Just as Buck had said, a person was waiting in the hall, and it was someone George was familiar with.

"Betty! Why are you here?"

The person waiting for him in the hall was George's classmate who was also Professor Eugene's student.

Although when he saw this building, he had guessed that the person who sent someone to rescue him was probably his mentor, Professor Eugene.

However, that was just a guess. It was not until he saw Betty that he was finally sure that everything that happened was arranged by his mentor, Professor Eugene.

It seemed that his mentor, Professor Eugene, must have mastered some method to locate him.

"George, come with me. Our mentor is waiting for you upstairs."

A few minutes later, George followed Betty to an office. Sitting behind the wide desk was his mentor, Professor Eugene.

Seeing George walk in, Professor Eugene raised his hand and gestured for him to sit in the chair across from him.

At the same time, he pushed a document in front of George.

"Take a look. Read it first, questions later."

Puzzled, George picked up the document in front of him and began to read it. Betty, who had accompanied him in, had already left by herself.

There was not much in this document, it only took a few minutes for him to read through it.

However, when George saw the contents of the document, his expression changed rapidly.

"Professor, are we going to study that starship? This should be something done by the National Space Administration!"

George did not understand why his professor would take over the research on the starship.

"George, only a small group including you will be studying that starship that suddenly appeared. I will be leading the others to study another topic. Also, you have to be prepared to enter outer space."

Enter outer space!

After George heard his mentor's last sentence, he suddenly realized that this was an opportunity for him.

An opportunity to enter the starship!

Previously, he was still having a headache about how to enter the starship.

Now, if he agreed to enter the research group, he would have a chance to get close to that starship.

Since he had a chance to get close to the starship, George had no reason to refuse.

"Professor, I agree to join the research team!"

Although he had agreed to join the research team, George was actually thinking about how to enter the starship and receive it as his prize.
