"If the test results are normal, we will give you your freedom."
Seeing that these people still wanted to object, Yu An suddenly lowered his voice.
His gaze swept across the faces of these people, and the oppressive tone in his voice had a hint of Xie Chiyuan's presence.
He said calmly, "I hope you remember that without our people, you wouldn't last long against the zombies."
"We rescued you, and along the way, we provided you with vehicles, food, and free checkups."
“You are not on the land of the West End, and it is not the West End’s obligation to help you.”
"Now that we have saved you, we don't ask for your gratitude, we just hope that you can cooperate well."
After Yu An finished speaking, the troublemakers' momentum indeed weakened.
But the leader still stubbornly muttered, "We didn't beg you to save us. Even if you didn't save us, we might not..."
I couldn't hear what was said after that.
He mumbled softly, clearly not wanting others to hear.
Yu An ignored them and continued on his way.
When they encountered new survivors, Yu An still prevented these people from contacting the survivors.
Seeing his caution, Pei Si teased him, "You're not really worried they're in danger, are you? I've had them checked several times, and these people are just ordinary humans."
"Hmm, just an ordinary human with a not-so-good temper."
Yu An rubbed his head and said, "I can't really explain it, it's just a gut feeling."
"My gut tells me to keep a close eye on them, or something bad will happen."
Yu An couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly was wrong.
However, Pei Si didn't ask any more questions. He added two more people to keep a close eye on those people.
After Xie Chiyuan waited day and night, Yu An and Pei Si's group finally arrived at the base.
On the night before they were to arrive at the base, they rested in place as usual.
The few people who had been left alone by them also changed their attitude and treated them well.
"We're not from the West District, so are we allowed into the West District base?"
"You can get in."
Pei Si answered for them, "However, you can't stay at the main base. After I've finished checking you, I'll send you to a nearby base."
"The nearby bases are all safe, so you don't need to worry about encountering zombies anymore."
Pei Si told them what happened next, while Yu An sat not far away, talking with the kids.
"Fourth Brother, are you going to post a few more photos showing your tail? Your fans say they want to see them."
Perhaps it is the arrival of vaccines that has brought peace of mind to people.
Now, a large number of people are in dire need of an outlet after suppressing their emotions.
The mutant offspring happened to appear at this crucial moment, and their sudden burst of fire was entirely understandable.
The little bald fox cub snorted and refused, "I won't show them my tail. How dare those mere humans covet my tail!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu An seriously corrected him.
“Son, I told you before, from now on humans and mutants will be on equal footing.”
Four Little Ones: "..."
The fourth child glanced at his eldest brother and said, "Oh."
After Yu An finished lecturing him, she asked Jiu Zai, "Jiu Zai, your fans are also urging you. They even changed your photos all at once."
Jiu Zai has now adjusted his mindset. Not only that, but his competitive spirit has also been aroused.
Now the kids are famous, and by some twist of fate, they've even gained fans.
Nine-Zai secretly made up his mind: he would become the fan with the most fans, the most dazzling fan among all the fans!
"Brother, you can send me more photos, I don't mind."
Jiuzai nuzzled her older brother and said softly, "Big brother will be happy if he posts my photos, and I want to make big brother happy too."
Nine-Zai showered himself with compliments and frantically boosted his own rank.
The other children looked at him, and a murderous intent gradually rose in their eyes.
Yu An smiled and pinched Jiu Zai's head with his fingers. He opened his phone's original camera, had Jiu Zai pose, and then snapped several photos in a row.
Spurred on by the contrasting character, Jiu Zai, the other characters finally started to get to work.
Time flies by without us even realizing it.
As it approached midnight, Yu An stopped being engrossed in the internet and prepared to put the kids to bed.
Pei Si didn't continue explaining the science.
He said goodbye to the group and went to rest.
I thought it would be another peaceful night.
But just before dawn, a small incident occurred between them.
Taking advantage of the early dawn and the fatigue of those patrolling and watching them, the group quietly tried to slip away.
They didn't know how long they had planned this, but they actually managed to sneak off for a while.
After running away, they happened to encounter other survivors who were passing by.
Upon seeing the survivors, their eyes all seemed to turn red for a moment.
They walked towards those people.
Just as they were about to approach, the little bald fox, who had just woken up, sharpened its eyes and called out to them.
"Why are you all out here?!"
Upon hearing the little fox's voice, the group seemed to pause in their steps.
But they didn't turn back, and all of them rushed towards the passing survivors at an inhuman speed.
Little fox: "!!!"
You dare to commit violence in front of me?!
The short-tempered little fox rushed over in a flash, transforming into its original form and viciously scratching the back of the necks of these people with its claws.
With the little fox's help, even a high-level zombie is likely to be eliminated.
These humans, with red eyes and on the verge of mutation, were tied together by the little fox using grass vines and then dragged back to their sleeping place.
"They tried to run away, but I caught them and brought them back."
The little fox dropped the person on the ground, patted its paws, and acted as if nothing had happened.
A fan of the little fox recorded this scene and secretly uploaded it.
"Our 04 baby is the best! Fierce yet cute, and his paws up close are absolutely adorable!"
So early in the morning, Si Zai calmly boosted his sales performance.
Yu An was awakened by the noise and got up to check.
Upon seeing the state of these people, Yu An instantly thought of someone—
Chen Nan.
At the high school league's base, he met several optimistic and cheerful kids. These kids rescued two children their own age, but the two children, without any warning, started biting people as soon as they entered the base.
Chen Nan was the girl who was bitten. After being bitten, she did not hysterically despair, but grabbed Yu An and told her that she was willing to be taken to the laboratory for research.
"The person who bit Chen Nan at the time could not be found to have any wounds."
“Those children thought they were safe because they had no wounds…”
To everyone's surprise, after bringing them in, several kind-hearted children lost their lives.
"Don't make this public for now."
The zombie king is already dead. They need to figure out what to do next when such an unusual phenomenon occurs among the zombies.
After this incident, Pei Si stopped being polite to them.
These people, with red eyes, who looked like they were infected but not completely, were tied up tightly and placed in the carriage.
We traveled for half a day again.
They finally arrived at the main base, where a peaceful atmosphere still prevailed.
With Xie Chiyuan, Yin Qin, Gu Ainan, and others personally overseeing the area, this place is safer than anywhere else.
When Yu An arrived at the door, Xie Chiyuan and Gu Ainan came to greet him.
Xie Chiyuan's eyes swept over Yu An from head to toe, it was unclear whether he was checking if Yu An had gained weight or something else entirely.
"Dad, I'm home."
Yu An walked over and hugged her father.
Gu Ainan hugged him and whispered in his ear, "Thank you for your hard work, An'an."
"It's not hard work. I think going out to do missions is a very meaningful thing."
He felt a great sense of accomplishment, especially after personally slaying the zombie king.
Hearing his happy tone, Gu Ainan said after a while, "An'an, fighting and killing are not good. If you really feel bored, you can go to the laboratory and help Dr. Ruan with his work."
“I remember you once said you wanted to be a scientist.”
Yu An: "..."
Is his ambition really that high?
Yu An retorted incredulously, "Dad, I think you're lying to me. Wasn't my dream to farm before?"
Although Yu An did not fully recall his past memories, he vaguely remembered that he loved farming.
Gu Ainan paused for a few seconds, then added, "Scientists can emerge from the fields too."
