"Yu An, keep an eye on him."
Xie Chiyuan handed the bag to Yu An, then turned to slaughter the surrounding zombies. He not only decapitated them, but also pried open their heads to examine the crystal cores inside.
The darker the color of the crystal nucleus, the higher the level of evolution.
Yu An felt his stomach churn as he watched Xie Chiyuan pry open the zombie's head. He picked the boy up and tenderly covered his eyes.
Time passed second by second.
When Yu An opened her eyes again, Xie Chiyuan had already cleared the area.
Yin Feng, who was not far away, brought over the teammates he had found, while Song Jun was still lying in the car. They were all there, but Song Jun's condition was not ideal.
Song Jun still did not show any symptoms of infection.
He had a persistent high fever, and his skin was so hot that you could fry an egg on it.
Xie Chiyuan's target was Chongchong. He entered Building 6 carrying what was essentially a locator.
It's not that he doesn't care about the students, but the only solution to Song Jun's situation is to find the worm variant.
Inside 602.
Yu An was still a little overwhelmed by the information Xie Chiyuan had given him, such as the training ground being tampered with, and the worm mutation...
Even this three-and-a-half-year-old is a cyborg variant.
The doorbell for apartment 602 rang.
Perhaps because Yu An was standing in front, the first person to open the door did so.
"elder brother!"
Chongchong rushed to Yu Anhuai, her cheeks flushed with joy: "You're back! You still want Chongchong, right? Chongchong will never cry again!"
Just three seconds after saying she would never cry again, the little bug burst into tears again when Xie Chiyuan pressed his bone blade against her neck.
Yu An: "..."
Yu An couldn't help but look at Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan stared at the insect and said coldly, "Did you design all of this?"
The worm cried, "You made me do it! I was bought by you, so I had to do it!"
In Bug Eyes, people from all factions are uniformly classified as humans.
It was created by humankind.
He bought it from a human.
It was humans who made him do it.
He looked at Xie Chiyuan with teary eyes, not understanding why he was being killed. He could sense that Xie Chiyuan wanted to kill him.
This little burden, after seeing the insect being held against the neck, also plopped down on Xie Chiyuan's feet.
"uncle."
She then started crying, "Don't kill the bug! The bug did nothing wrong."
The two deformed little workers were clearly not innocent; they obeyed humans' orders, so why were they killed by humans in the end?
Looking at the two crybabies, Yu An said, "Xie Chiyuan, let's go back to the island first."
"We can only go back after we kill him."
Xie Chiyuan's feet were pressed against his buttocks, but his face remained completely unmoved. It must be said that, at times, he was truly frighteningly rational.
Only after the red bird passes by and kills the worm-mutant can it leave this place.
Yu An squatted down and embraced the two wailing little mutants. He wiped the tears from Chongchong's little face and asked, "Chongchong, is there any way we can get out of here?"
Chongchong cried, her voice trembling: "Chongchong didn't complete the mission, and I'll be locked up when I get back."
Upon hearing this, Xie Chiyuan said calmly, "Let go. You'll come back with me this time, and no one will lock you up."
The insect's crying suddenly stopped.
He hugged Yu An tightly, asking with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety, "Can Chongchong stay with her brother?"
Yu An nodded hesitantly.
Upon receiving this statement, Chongchong finally stopped crying and smiled, saying, "Chongchong still has a way to get out!"
Under the watchful eyes of Yu An and Xie Chiyuan, Chongchong touched her forehead and said to Yu An, "Brother, why don't you knock Chongchong out!"
Momo explained, "If the insect loses consciousness, this place will collapse."
Then they can leave.
This simple and brutal method left Yu An speechless.
Chongchong kept pushing his head forward, his eyes tightly closed, waiting for his brother to knock him unconscious.
However, Yu An could not get down.
Just as Yu An hesitated, Xie Chiyuan had already knocked Chongchong unconscious from behind with a clean and efficient knockout.
As soon as the insect fainted, the simulation training ground could no longer be maintained.
Xie Chiyuan was carrying two small deformed children, while Yu An went to support Song Jun. The rest of the teammates stayed together, and in less than two minutes, everyone felt a sudden sway, and they could barely see anything in front of them.
Once the dizziness subsided, they returned to the familiar island simulation area.
Song Jun was delirious with fever. He was clutching Yu An's hand, his mouth slurring something incoherently.
Tang Yi and Tang Xin received the news and came to treat the wounded.
Song Jun was taken away, and it's unclear how he will be treated.
This training session was a significant test for everyone in the team. Xie Chiyuan had other things to do, so they left the rest to the officers for arrangements.
Yu An, on the other hand, followed Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan had two small deformities, one of which, a worm, was particularly attached to Yu An. Yu An taking it along would also help soothe the waking worm.
Not long after.
Yu An followed Xie Chiyuan to find Ruan Ke, who arranged a room for Chongchong to sleep in.
A little shy, he kept hiding behind Xie Chiyuan's legs, peeking out his little head to timidly look at Ruan Ke.
Since Xie Chiyuan picked him up from the North District, and Xie Chiyuan had been protecting him the whole time, he felt safe with Xie Chiyuan.
Ruan Ke was surprised to see that there were mutants who dared to stick to Xie Chiyuan for the first time.
"Chi Yuan, don't move."
Ruan Ke took out his camera, snapped a photo, and sent it to Yin Qin.
The photo captures the small deformity clinging to Xie Chiyuan's leg, and Xie Chiyuan himself looking slightly awkward, all frozen in time.
After taking the photos, Ruan Ke looked at the two little deformities.
Before Xie Chiyuan returned, Ruan Ke had already obtained all the information about the two deformed children.
Born in the Saint-Er Laboratory, which has since been relocated, the new location is unknown. The deformed creature was purchased from the laboratory and transported back by the Red Bird Organization, commissioned by the North District.
The North District has purchased a small quantity of this variant, but the purpose and quantity are currently unknown.
The bugs were sold as a package deal, and these two aberrations don't get many missions. The bugs are powerful, but their creation time is too short, so the North District doesn't completely trust them.
He was someone who wanted to work hard to support himself, but he was too incompetent, and in the North District, he was basically treated like a useless nobody who would just get a meal from anyone.
"Uncle Ruan, what do you and my father plan to do with these two mutants?" Xie Chiyuan asked after a moment of silence.
His father was the head of the Western District, so the decision-making power in this matter naturally rested with his father.
Uncle Ruan looked at Xie Chiyuan's legs, who was still hiding behind them, and smiled: "What's the rush? How to handle this still needs to be discussed by the State Council."
"Let them stay on the island until we come to a conclusion."
Uncle Ruan's answer inexplicably made Xie Chiyuan relent.
I don't know if it was Xie Chiyuan's strength, but Chongchong, who was knocked unconscious, didn't wake up for a long time. I'm good friends with Chongchong, so I volunteered to take care of her.
Since the insect hasn't woken up, I can't ask it anything.
Yu An stayed in the room for a while, then went to see Song Jun.
In the ward, Song Jun's wound had been bandaged.
But no one had any hope for him. Tang Yi looked at Xie Chiyuan with a questioning look in his eyes.
“If he shows any symptoms of infection, I will kill him immediately,” Xie Chiyuan said to Tang Yi from the ward.
Seeing this, Tang Yi stopped paying attention.
Yu An sat down next to Song Jun and reached out to touch Song Jun's forehead: "Xie Chiyuan, he's still so hot."
Xie Chiyuan frowned.
Logically, Song Jun should have passed the incubation period by now, since he was scratched. However, he still has a fever and is sweating, but there are no signs of any abnormal changes.
Thinking of a recent rumor, Xie Chiyuan suddenly said, "Not long ago, someone encountered a person who had been bitten. This person had all the characteristics of a zombie, but he still retained his rationality and clarity as a human being."
"Listen, he saved a lot of people."
Xie Chiyuan's description startled Yu An.
Xie Chiyuan's was like that of someone he had encountered—
Sun Mo.
Sun Mo, who keeps saving people and is even looking for the army to help more people.
"How is he now?"
Yu An asked nervously, "He's so good to people, can his family accept him?"
Xie Chiyuan paused, not answering the question directly, but replied, "I don't know. The people he saved are still very afraid of him."
"Nobody knows where he is now, and nobody wants to go with him."
Yu An was stunned when he heard this.
He still remembers the hopeful look on Sun Mo's face when he went to find the army. He also remembers him stammering as he tried to save the others.
