"I remember the West District used to be the anti-abnormality zone. Can we ask the West District to step in now?"
"Hehehe, the West District is not what it used to be. Now it's home to a bunch of mutants."
"As far as I know, most of the A sequence aberrations are in the West District, right? It seems that the West District might actually be the district with the highest risk index."
"I live in the West District and am already considering moving."
Yu An continued clicking, checking over a dozen news articles.
Without exception, all the comments on these news articles were advocating for a conflict between humans and mutants.
The live stream video last night directly shocked many people.
They watched helplessly as the mutants slaughtered humans.
This sense of powerlessness and fear manifested in their rejection of the mutants.
Yu An even saw some short-tempered people cursing all the mutants.
Such comments were everywhere online. Yu An read them for a while longer, but still couldn't take it anymore, so she temporarily turned off her phone.
He closed his eyes, unsure how to resolve the situation before him.
If the relationship between humans and mutants really becomes adversarial, what will he and Xie Chiyuan do?
Yu An became increasingly confused and disoriented, so he simply pulled the blanket over his head.
Half a day passed by in the blink of an eye.
Yu An was still in the bedroom, while Xie Chiyuan and Zhai Man's clothes were no longer presentable.
One of them looked gentle, and the other's temper had improved considerably after finding a partner. But deep down, neither of them were kind-hearted.
They didn't pretend to be good people in front of each other.
"Would you like to change at my place later? If you go back like this, Yu An will see you," Zhai Man offered a suggestion.
After giving his advice, he added, as if to avoid suspicion, "I'm not alone in my room; Ling Yi is also there."
Given Xie Chiyuan's relationship with Yu An, if he's alone in the room, then calling Xie Chiyuan over...
That makes it very difficult to explain.
With Ling Yi around, he can now invite Xie Chiyuan to his place to change clothes without any misunderstanding.
Thank you.
Xie Chiyuan accepted the suggestion: "I think we can go back and change our clothes soon."
The mutant that had been tormented in the North District all night finally spoke up when it fell into their hands.
He revealed two accomplices, as well as a piece of information.
"The Aberration Alliance".
Zhai Man read these words aloud, then turned to Xie Chiyuan and asked, "Have you heard of this alliance?"
Xie Chiyuan shook his head: "Never heard of it."
He had heard of many alliance names, but this Aberration Alliance was one he had never heard of before.
"Our alliance will grow larger and larger, thanks to you humans, our numbers are now comparable to yours!"
"In the future, our numbers will completely surpass yours."
"You humans are nothing but ants. In the face of our power, humans are nothing."
Xie Chiyuan listened to his arrogant words, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Humans just dealt with the zombies not long ago, and now you mutants are starting to cause trouble again?"
The aberration before him sneered: "Not just our part, but all of us aberrations. We aberrations will never tolerate being oppressed by you humans again!"
They possess strength far exceeding that of humans, so why do they live such a lowly life!
In a world where the strong prey on the weak, humans are now the weaker party, while their mutated forms are the stronger.
Xie Chiyuan was too lazy to engage in a verbal battle with him; their argument was pointless.
"Let's stop here for now."
Xie Chiyuan put away the bone blade in his hand, and looked up at Zhai Man: "Take me to your room to change clothes and take a shower."
He's in such a dirty state now, he can't possibly go to Yu An.
"Okay, come with me."
Zhai Man led the way, taking him back to the bedroom.
The bedroom has its own toilet and bathroom.
When Zhai Man was looking for clothes for Xie Chiyuan, he looked at Xie Chiyuan's figure and then at himself.
After a while.
He took Ling Yi's clothes and handed them to Xie Chiyuan.
"I bought this for Lingyi, but he hasn't worn it yet. This size should fit, you should try it on."
Xie Chiyuan glanced at the size, didn't even try it on, and went straight to the bathroom with the clothes in his hand.
He washed away all the blood and grime from his body.
When he came out of the bathroom, he was clean and tidy again, Xie Chiyuan.
"Thank you for your help."
Xie Chiyuan tossed the dirty clothes into the washing machine and waited for them to dry. While they were drying, he thanked Zhai Man.
Zhai Man didn't know which bathroom she used to shower, but she came over now with clean clothes.
He shook his head: "No need to thank me, it was just a small favor."
They all stayed in one room.
Xie Chiyuan's gaze swept around, and then his eyes fell on the eldest cub.
"Aren't you all sleeping together? Isn't it crowded?"
He asked, seemingly casually, "The beds here don't seem very big."
Zhai Man: "..."
Zhai Man stiffened, then looked away before replying, "Ling Yi's bed isn't comfortable, so she'll have to squeeze in with me for now."
"Aren't the beds all the same here? An'an and I slept quite well."
His expression suggested he wanted to continue the conversation, which left Zhai Man feeling somewhat at a loss.
Just as Xie Chiyuan was about to ask something else, Da Zai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
"You should go back now."
"My clothes aren't dry yet; I estimate it will take another 10 minutes."
Although Xie Chiyuan's mood was affected by this incident, he was not a direct relative of the victim and did not have much contact with the victim.
Therefore, since the incident occurred, his emotions have stabilized to the point where he can focus on other things.
For example, taking a bite of someone else's melon on the spot.
But it seems the person who posted the melon doesn't really want him to eat melons, and even wants to kick him out.
"Zhai Man, come here."
Da Zai returned to the bedroom and coldly called Zhai Man inside.
Xie Chiyuan: "?"
Xie Chiyuan urged, "Aren't you going to chat with me a little longer?"
Zhai Man turned around and looked at him hesitantly.
But the next second, the big kid called him again.
"Excuse me, I must take my leave now."
Zhai said apologetically, then went back to his bedroom.
Xie Chiyuan, left outside next to the washing machine: "..."
Okay.
If no one is there to keep you company, then no one is there to keep you company.
He picked up the clothes, which were almost dry, and went back to his bedroom to find his wife.
On the way back, Xie Chiyuan found a few newborn babies in the corridor.
What are you doing?
"We're looking for our elder brother."
Led by Qiuqiu, the little ones who had just woken up all came to find Yu An.
Xie Chiyuan, seeing that they had already come, did not keep them outside.
As soon as he entered, Ba Zai noticed that the blanket on the bed was bulging out.
"Big brother!"
Bazai lunged forward and landed squarely on the bulge.
Yu An: "..."
Yu An was almost crushed to death.
He frantically pulled off the blanket and then yanked Bazai off him.
"Don't step on me."
Yu An sat up, looked at the children who had all arrived, and her complexion was a little better than before: "You're all awake?"
"Um!"
The kids were brought out this time, supposedly to have some fun.
The North Zone is quite large, so the kids can move around freely.
