Xin Yao thought of the other two districts and realized that they might not want to see the West District dominate.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was somber.
Xin Yao asked one last question: "Xia Tianwu, are you sure they won't find any aberrations?"
Xia Tian smiled and said, "It would be too much to not be able to find any of them. Don't worry, we'll just give them a few of the useless little brats we don't want when the time is right."
"Um."
The meeting room continued for a while, then Xin Yao waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave, except for Xia Tianwu, who remained in his seat.
The door was closed.
Xia Tian did not get up, but slowly walked to Xin Yao.
The two men exchanged glances, and Xin Yao asked in a low voice, "Has Saint Er Labs got new supplies again? Are they researching traditional nutritional pastes?"
Xia Tianwu may not seem to be Xin Yao's confidant, but the two are actually very close.
In response to Xin Yao's question, Xia Tian replied without replying, "Don't worry, Saint Er's research project is no longer just about producing mutants. They also have many other bold and innovative projects."
"Chief Xin, the most urgent task is to either get Xie Chiyuan out of the North District as soon as possible, or to make him die in the North District."
"Without Xie Chiyuan, the West District is nothing."
"I see."
The two people's conversation grew quieter and quieter until it finally fell silent.
The next day, Yu An was woken up by a knock on the door. He was grumpy when he woke up, and the sun hadn't even hit his backside yet.
This is not the time when he normally wakes up.
Yu An was unhappy.
He buried his face in the blankets, closed his eyes, and mumbled, "I want to sleep more."
Xiao Liu and Xiao Jiu are brainless fans of their older brother.
Big Brother wanted to sleep, and Little Six, looking at his brother huddled under the covers, felt that preventing him from getting a good night's sleep was an absolute crime. He flapped his wings and decisively declared, "I'll use my superpower to knock down the one knocking on the door, so he can't knock anymore!"
Yu An: "..."
Yu An was instantly wide awake.
He sat up with a jolt and grabbed Xiao Liu: "You come back here!"
Xiao Liu, who was being controlled by his older brother, was still staring at the door.
Yu An was so frightened by his son that he was no longer sleepy. He lowered his voice and scolded, "Didn't I tell you? You can't use your superpowers recklessly."
Xie Chiyuan lives next door.
If Xiao Liu's wings were to unleash his supernatural power, he would immediately be met with Xie Chiyuan's bone blade, gleaming with cold light.
When Xiao Jiu saw her older brother lecturing Xiao Liu, she silently pulled back the mycelium that was about to reach the doorway.
Undrowsy, Yu An put the two babies down, quickly changed his clothes, washed his face, and rushed to open the door. Before opening it, he peeked through the peephole.
It is Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan glanced at Yu An's face, which was still damp with water, and paused: "Just woke up?"
Yu An nodded obediently.
Xie Chiyuan knew he had a bad temper when he woke up, so he didn't ask him why he was so late in opening the door.
"We're going to work with the investigators today, together."
"Um!"
After a night's rest, Bai Xia and the others looked much better. It was still early, so they decided to go to the restaurant for lunch.
Yu An wasn't hungry.
He carried Xie Chiyuan's wound in his mouth the whole way on the plane, and he was already full.
Xie Chiyuan handed him a bottle of milk.
Yu An was taken aback when she saw the milk: "This is milk from the island?"
Did Xie Chiyuan actually bring it from the island? But during these past few days of travel, when food was scarce for the last two days and Bai Xia and the others were starving, Xie Chiyuan didn't even bring out the milk.
"Drink your milk properly."
Xie Chiyuan casually uttered a sentence, his tone revealing no emotion.
While eating, Bai Xia was giving instructions to the people she had brought. After finishing her instructions, Bai Xia approached Xie Chiyuan and began to explain the work to him.
Yu An bit her milk straw and didn't interrupt.
His eyes remained fixed on Xie Chiyuan. The milk he swallowed felt warm in his stomach, and not only his stomach, but also his heart felt warm.
After Yu An finished drinking a whole bottle of milk, he didn't touch the breakfast in front of him.
Xie Chiyuan glanced at him, left the eggs for him, and put the rest into his own plate: "I ate the eggs, I'll eat these."
Yu An replied slowly, "Oh."
Xie Chiyuan is probably complaining about his picky eating again.
Back on the island, he ate very little, and Xie Chiyuan noticed this and scolded him several times.
After breakfast, Bai Xia took out a very small device.
Upon seeing this, Yu An asked curiously, "What is this? Is it used during a search?"
Bai Xia explained calmly, "Search tools."
Yu An was even more bewildered.
Are we really hoping that such a small thing can find the aberration?
Bai Xia adjusted the instrument and continued, "This is an instrument we designed specifically for aberrations. The instrument can generate a special magnetic field that is only useful to aberrations."
"Under this magnetic field interference, the aberrations will be unable to remain calm, and once they become active, there will be energy fluctuations."
Yu An felt a chill run down his spine.
If this device, which targets aberrations, had been turned on while he was in the car, wouldn't his two cubs have been exposed long ago?!
Just as cold sweat was about to break out on his forehead, Bai Xia added, "Currently, manufacturing this kind of instrument is very difficult, and I only brought three with me this time."
There are only three.
Yu An suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Xia was going to search the North District, and even three search engines might not be enough.
Even so, Yu An still asked, "Xie Chiyuan, should we take Chongchong with us when we go out? Won't he be affected by the equipment?"
The insects are also aberrations, and if the instrument is turned on after calibration, the insects may also be affected.
Bai Xia thought of Chongchong and said, "Let him stay in the room, the rest of us can go out."
Yu An replied, "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Chiyuan.
Chongchong was still in bed. Although he was a mutant, he was still a cub. Cub mutants usually slept for a long time, and when Xie Chiyuan woke up, Chongchong was still fast asleep.
"I'll go back and tell him."
"I'll go and talk to them."
Yu An also had his own agenda, so he volunteered, saying, "It just so happens that Chongchong is quite attached to me."
Xie Chiyuan handed him his room key and watched him leave.
No sooner had Yu An left than Bai Xia spoke to Xie Chiyuan. She asked casually, "What do you suspect Yu An of?"
Xie Chiyuan's dark eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked at Bai Xia and said in a low voice, "I don't understand what you're saying."
Bai Xia smiled.
She looked directly at Xie Chiyuan and introduced herself, "I used to be a micro-expression observer, with a minor in psychology. Commander Xie, I can tell that you're having some mixed feelings about Yu An right now."
Do you need me to help you with your worries?
"unnecessary."
A hint of displeasure flashed in Xie Chiyuan's eyes, and he coldly warned, "My business with Yu An is none of anyone's concern."
Bai Xia shrugged and nonchalantly looked away: "Whatever."
Xie Chiyuan stayed in the lobby, while Yu An took his room key and quickly went back. He didn't rush to open Xie Chiyuan's door, but instead opened his own room door first.
The two little ones had nothing to do and were taking a nap.
Yu An put the two of them into the small box and instructed them, "You two will stay with the bugs next door today. The search team has special equipment for aberrations."
"It's best not to let Chongchong find you, or if you are found out, ask Chongchong to keep it a secret."
The two cubs listened obediently to Yu An's instructions and did not ask to go with him.
They knew that what their leader feared most was their identities being exposed.
After transferring both cubs to Chongchong, Yu An reminded Chongchong not to run around before closing the door and leaving.
In the lobby.
Bai Xia had already adjusted the instrument. She set the parameters so that Xie Chiyuan's room would not be affected by the instrument, but other places would.
When Yu An arrived, the person sent by the North District had already arrived. She was a very pretty girl named Liu Yan.
Liu Yan smiled sweetly and said to them, "I know this place very well. I can take you wherever you want to go."
"Is there a laboratory here?" Bai Xia asked first.
Liu Yan's smile remained unchanged as she nodded: "Yes, with the outbreak of infected individuals, our base has been studying the composition of this virus to see if there is any way to suppress it."
Bai Xia then asked, "Have you figured it out yet?"
Liu Yan said helplessly, "If we could have figured it out, we in the North District would have notified you long ago. There wouldn't be so many people suffering outside."
The main base is large and has the strongest defenses.
Yu An and Xie Chiyuan followed behind, acting as bodyguards.
Bai Xia and the investigators then conducted a general sweep of several key locations at the base.
