AGTCTCC Chapter 43

Chapter 43 They are just a group of… pitiful…

Fan Yuan Ying lowered his head, and under the gazes of Xiang Li and Chu Qi, his tone seemed somewhat heavy.

“I am Experiment Body Number 053.”

Xiang Li frowned instantly upon hearing this.

“!”

Experiment Body Number 053?

Fan Yuan Ying didn’t even need to look at their faces to know what their reaction would be; he didn’t even bat an eyelid.

“Do you know how the pollution virus is transmitted?”

He sneered, “As a Polluted Entity, you don’t even know how you are polluted.”

“A failure.”

The bones on the side of Xiang Li’s face twitched slightly, his cold eyes watching the person in front of him mock him, thick eyebrows and long eyelashes, his silent gaze landing on Fan Yuan Ying’s hand resting on the table.

Only then did Fan Yuan Ying finally raise his eyes, staring at Xiang Li with a meaningful look.

“Xiang Li, humans should give way to us.”

Xiang Li’s fingertips, which had been tapping on the table, stopped.

That sentence, the sentence written on the file.

And the file…

Xiang Li subtly glanced at Chu Qi, his Adam’s apple slowly sliding up and down.

It was taken away by Chu Qi.

Chu Qi’s face, however, didn’t show much change. The somewhat bright incandescent light above his head shone on his somewhat messy black hair, making him exude a cold aura, the lines of his profile sharp and distinct.

The other party didn’t seem to notice Xiang Li’s surreptitious glances, his eyes, devoid of any emotion, fixed on Fan Yuan Ying.

At this moment in the interrogation room, Chu Qi was staring at Fan Yuan Ying, Fan Yuan Ying was looking at Xiang Li, and Xiang Li, on the surface, was looking at Fan Yuan Ying, but in reality, he was secretly glancing at Chu Qi.

Xiang Li tapped the table twice more with his fingertips, breaking the strange silence.

“Do you know how the pollution virus spreads?”

Fan Yuan Ying thought for two seconds and generously told them.

“Parasitic, toxin-based, DNA plundering, and the most dangerous, mental control.”

Perhaps afraid that Xiang Li wouldn’t understand, he explained.

“Parasitic Polluted Entities are divided into direct parasitism and embryonic parasitism, with incubation periods ranging from a few months, and are the most highly infectious type.”

“Toxin-based refers to infection through air, water sources, or direct contact, specifically referring to toxic fog.”

“And DNA plundering is the infection of humans through special spores or seeds. The polluted virus genes carried by these spores or seeds enter the human body and replace a piece of the host’s genes to integrate, thereby altering the human’s genetic structure.”

Fan Yuan Ying: “Commander Chu should have a deep understanding of mental control. They can directly control the human nervous system. This control can be temporary or permanent.”

“Or they can induce humans to produce hallucinations by releasing certain chemicals or energy waves, thereby making their behavior conform to their interests. These hallucinations may include seeing non-existent enemies, hearing non-existent voices, etc., ultimately causing humans to lose their resistance in chaos.”

Speaking of this, Fan Yuan Ying suddenly chuckled.

Fan Yuan Ying: “Which one do you think you are?”

He said it bluntly, but Xiang Li didn’t listen at all, saying “Oh” and then remaining silent.

Then he stood up, the noise caused by pulling the chair back being somewhat grating.

Xiang Li was at a high vantage point, looking down,

“Anything else to say?”

Fan Yuan Ying looked up following Xiang Li’s movement.

“The King has already arrived on the Main Star. There isn’t much time left for us to be free. I will stay here, waiting for you to come find me again.”

After saying that, he glanced at Chu Qi next to him, slowly moving his gaze, staring at Chu Qi’s heart, and said meaningfully.

“Colonel Chu’s spiritual form is very cute.”

Xiang Li: “…”

The two returned to Yan Zhou Ping’s house. Xiang Li didn’t say anything along the way. Just as they reached the door and Chu Qi was about to open it, he gently tugged at a small corner of Chu Qi’s clothes from behind.

His voice was muffled: “I’m not a Polluted Entity.”

Xiang Li added, “We’re just a little different from normal people.”

They are just a group of… very pitiful lab rats.

Chu Qi closed his eyes for a moment and hummed in acknowledgement, then chuckled softly.

“You are a black serpent.”

After he said that, Little Black, who had been quietly staying in Xiang Li’s spiritual sea, seemed to sense something and came out, crawling from his wrist all the way to the top of Xiang Li’s head, leisurely flicking its tongue.

Inside the house, Shen Gui and Yan Zhou Ping were sitting on the sofa, and Lin Wu, still in his white coat, had his hands in his pockets.

The expressions on their faces were solemn. Seeing the two of them come in, their expressions became even more serious.

Chu Qi: “What’s wrong?”

Lin Wu glanced at the two silent people on the sofa and spoke.

“The results of Sang Quan’s spiritual power and blood test are out.”

Originally, Xiang Li’s drooping eyebrows lifted when he heard this, signaling for Lin Wu to continue.

Lin Wu: “His spiritual power test has six spikes. The spiritual power of a normal person is two to seven, but…”

Lin Wu changed his tone.

“His DNA chain has twenty-nine spikes.”

Shen Gui: “Sang Quan has been infected.”

“The test report was reported immediately. This incident has caused great panic. The Empire’s management has already detained Sang Quan.”

Lin Wu continued.

“But Sang Quan is still running a high fever, and any tests done during a high fever may mislead the results. Another test will be arranged after Sang Quan’s fever subsides.”

It’s no wonder they were reacting so strongly. Since the emergence of source energy magnetic fields, there had never been a case of a Polluted Entity being able to pass through the barrier and enter the base.

And Sang Quan Shi Li, as a mech designer, had even less opportunity to come into contact with the world outside the barrier. Who infected him?

If it was a Polluted Entity that had already hatched, it meant that the barrier was now starting to fail, and humans were no longer safe.

If it was a Polluted Entity still in the embryonic stage, how many infected people were still hiding in the base?

Those who had the most contact with Sang Quan Shi Li were, first and foremost, those who owned mechs.

Hearing this, Chu Qi couldn’t help but become serious.

No matter which situation it was, it was a big problem.

Xiang Li’s body trembled slightly, his whole body tensing up. He felt as if something was blocking his throat, and no matter how much his Adam’s apple moved, he couldn’t suppress the panic welling up from the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly, he felt the hand he was holding gently hook his palm. He looked up and saw the upright back of the other person in his neat uniform, and he felt a moment of inexplicable peace of mind.

Chu Qi: “What does the commander mean?”

Shen Gui: “The news has been temporarily blocked, and robots have been arranged to test the residents one by one.”

Chu Qi nodded. Lin Wu seemed to feel that the atmosphere was too heavy and joked to liven things up.

“It’s okay. If someone really is infected, it should be Chu Qi first. Besides, we still have the antidote.”

After saying that, he looked at Yan Zhou Ping, who hadn’t said a word from beginning to end.

Yan Zhou Ping was tinkering with the magnet in his hand, the two Source Stones making a “cha” sound in his hand. Each collision triggered a small-scale magnetic field.

Shen Gui: “Did Fan Yuan Ying say anything to you?”

Xiang Li stared blankly at the back in front of him. Coming back to his senses, he took the initiative to let go of Chu Qi’s hand, went to sit on the last single sofa, and explained Fan Yuan Ying’s matter in detail.

Chu Qi sat next to Shen Gui, listening quietly.

When they talked about the routes of infection, Lin Wu was slightly stunned, one hand propping up his chin. Yu Han heard them discussing as he came up from the basement and stood listening for a long time.

Old Man Yu Han: “…”

He threw the spiritual power detection instrument over, angrily saying.

“I told you there was nothing wrong with my instrument. It’s all that damn King!”

After a pause, he asked again: “What about Bai Yan?”

Yan Zhou Ping: “Let’s wait and see. If the King is doing this because of the laboratory, then Qi Xiao and Ning Li An are the first people he should retaliate against.”

“But the fact that they are together now means that their goals may be different, but the direction is the same.”

Yan Zhou Ping: “Although I don’t know what their specific purpose is, Bai Yan shouldn’t be in too much danger before they achieve it.”

…At most, he’ll suffer a little.

The others silently agreed. Yan Zhou Ping looked at Xiang Li again.

Yan Zhou Ping: “How are your ears? Can you hear now?”

Seeing Xiang Li point to the metal patch on his cheekbone and then slowly shake his head.

Yan Zhou Ping: “I wonder how Planet C079 is doing now.”

Those brats wouldn’t have torn down the house, would they?

At this time, in the interrogation room, “Wu Zhen” and Fan Yuan Ying were sitting face to face at the two ends of the table.

The soldiers in the monitoring room only saw that the two people didn’t say a word, even only looking at each other once at the beginning, and then Fan Yuan Ying started trembling all over, his entire body visibly turning red and heating up.

“Wu Zhen” in the interrogation room stared at Fan Yuan Ying, who was beginning to breathe rapidly but was struggling to remain calm. He heard the soldier’s reminder in his ear.

“Officer, the prisoner is showing abnormalities. Please do not move easily. We have already notified the surrounding patrol soldiers to rush over.”

“Wu Zhen” didn’t say anything, sitting in his seat without moving at all. Fortunately, Fan Yuan Ying was also just sitting, obviously not in a good state.

Fan Yuan Ying’s limbs began to degenerate. Underneath a thin layer of human skin, limbs with a few barbs were exposed to the air, and cracks appeared in the wings on his back.

Fan Yuan Ying: “The King, he’s here.”

This sentence was not loud, but the soldiers who came to rescue heard it clearly.

The soldiers protected “Wu Zhen” behind the barrier, and the other soldiers quickly threw the restraining nets over.

“Wu Zhen” coldly watched their movements, and when he stared at Fan Yuan Ying, the corners of his mouth twisted into a strange smile.

In an unnoticed corner, a dragonfly was quietly lying. Because “Wu Zhen” was the last person to contact Fan Yuan Ying, he naturally gave a statement and left after there were no problems.

The moment he stepped out of the interrogation room, the dragonfly slowly flew in the air. Finally, it landed on “Wu Zhen’s” shoulder, its wings slightly unfolded, shimmering with colorful colors in the sunlight.

“Wu Zhen” came to the residential area. Unlike Chu Qi’s “family housing” that was divided around the main base, this place was dilapidated and crowded, with houses squeezed together and walls next to each other.

The windows on the walls opened inward, and sunlight couldn’t penetrate.

“Wu Zhen” stood in front of a pile of cuboid buildings, only realizing there was no road ahead.

Ah, he had reached the end again.

Then he turned back again, trying to distinguish between a pile of similar buildings.

After going back and forth several times, he seemed to have resigned himself to his fate.

[Can humans walk?]

[Come down, pick me up.]

He waited in place for a few minutes, but still didn’t see the person on the other side reply. He patted the communicator he had “robbed” from someone.

Still not getting a response, he licked a pointed tooth on the side of his mouth and estimated he was going to use his mouth.

Fortunately, Ning Li An reached out and patted his shoulder.

“Wu Zhen’s” first reaction when he looked up and saw the person wasn’t relief, but a frown.

“Punishment, too slow.”

The next second, Ning Li An’s knees buckled, kneeling in front of “Wu Zhen.”

The surrounding people were a little surprised when they saw this, but no one stepped forward, not even daring to whisper to each other.

In their opinion, having strength meant you could do whatever you wanted.
