After the alert was issued, the respective political forces conducted investigations and searches within their domains. They exterminated potential threats while keeping a look out for such threats other than monsters.
Fortunately, plant life mutations seemed to be extremely rare. Following the issuance of the alert, until the end of the selection round, the other political forces had not found a second mutated plant life. That lessened the urgency of the crisis.
The selection in the Federation capital also came to its end then. A total of ninety-eight people, the cream of the crop, were selected. They would become the seedlings in Operation Sword Sun and receive comparably more resources from the Federation in the future.
Two names were missing from the list, which soon caught the attention of everyone in the Federation. That persisted until the two missing names were announced.
One was Kong Dao, and the other—Wang Baole!
