He Ci seemed to have just remembered this and paused for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jing, who was closer to He Ci, noticed that Shousui leaned close to He Ci's ear with an anxious look on his face and whispered something. He couldn't help but ask the two of them with concern.

"No, nothing." Shousui turned around and looked at Chen Jing with a guilty look. He concealed his smile and asked everyone in a fake way, "Well, I don't need to be checked, right? Anyway, everyone knows what I am."

"That's not necessary. It's good enough that you don't bite us." Chi Yu replied jokingly while taking off his gray sweatshirt.

Shousui felt even more guilty when he heard this. He just smiled awkwardly and said nothing more.

"Hey, Brother Ci, why are you so hesitant? We have all taken off our clothes, what are you doing? To be fair, only those who stay up all night to celebrate the New Year can have an exception and do not need to be checked, right?" Seeing that He Ci still had a white shirt on, Chi Yu could not help but urge him with anticipation.

As soon as the words fell, many curious eyes glanced in their direction. He Ci glanced at Shou Sui and said in a low voice, "It's okay, don't worry."

Then he pulled out the corner of the clothes that Shousui was holding tightly in his hand, and took off his shirt.

The newly joined Yifeng and the other three men also had to cooperate in checking each other without exception.

When Hao Jian saw the bandage on Yi Feng's wrist, he thought of the fact that this man had fought zombies in close combat in the ring. Out of rigor, he said, "For those who are injured, it's better to remove the gauze so that everyone can see it with peace of mind, lest someone deliberately covers it up and tries to get away with it."

When Shousui heard this, He Ci was not worried yet, but he started to panic for others.

"You, and you, the rest of you hurry up." Hao Jian pointed at Yifeng and the other three injured people in the field with great style.

Due to the slightly suspicious looks from everyone, the injured people could only endure Hao Jian's arrogant tone and unwrapped the bandages wrapped around their wounds to prove their innocence.

Seeing how obedient they were and experiencing the power of a leader who could give orders to everyone, Hao Jian felt a sense of satisfaction and gradually became a little inflated in his heart.

"Hey, how come He Ci is injured too?" After glancing at the gauze wrapped around He Ci's neck, although Hao Jian was a little afraid of He Ci's strength, his heart had already expanded, so how could he retreat because of a little fear?

Hao Jian laughed dryly twice, and borrowed Chi Yu's words to say to He Ci: "Chi Yu also said that for the sake of fairness, Brother He Ci should also follow the process, right?"

Shousui glared at Hao Jian secretly. What you fear is bound to come true!

He Ci remained calm and composed, and nonchalantly removed the gauze on his shoulders and neck.

I saw that the wound bitten by Shousui two days ago had already scabbed over, and the black blood scab appeared in the shape of two rows of tooth marks.

"Look at his wound, why does it look so much like a bite mark?"

After seeing the wound on He Ci's neck, someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"He, he, was he bitten by a zombie?"

"Looking at the wound, it seems like he was bitten when he passed through Huaicheng two days ago. Is he going to turn into a zombie too?"

There was an uproar in the field.

Shousui couldn't help but hold his forehead with a headache.

"You..." Hao Jian also looked shocked, as if he had not expected that the safety suggestion he casually made would actually lead to such a potential danger.

"How is this possible!" Chi Yu shouted in disbelief, "Don't talk nonsense, this wound...how does this wound look like a bite mark?" Looking at the two rows of dot-shaped tooth marks on the man's neck, Chi Yu's subconscious voice in defense of He Ci suddenly seemed a little lacking in confidence.

"Chi Yu, are you blind?" Everyone rolled their eyes at Chi Yu. "Although you and He Ci are more like brothers, you can't defend him so blindly!"

“But…” Chi Yu’s face turned pale with anxiety. “Even if there are bite marks, how do you know he was definitely bitten by a zombie? Why can’t it be accidentally bitten by a cat or a dog?”

"Besides, isn't Brother He Ci fine now? If it was really a zombie bite, shouldn't he have transformed like Uncle Liang long ago!"

"..." Thank you for degrading me to a street cat or dog in order to protect a man. Shousui, who was standing by, was complaining with a gloomy face.

"If you were bitten by a sharp-clawed beast, you'd get a scar similar to this! As we all know, mutant beasts are no longer contagious due to their evolution!"

"Well, wasn't Hou Jing also scratched by the sharp-clawed beast?" Chi Yu pointed at the skinny man standing behind Mo Yuankai not far away, and said with reason, "You all saw it with your own eyes. Isn't he alive and well now?"

Just when Chi Yu was debating with the scholars on his own and was about to win, Shou Sui could not stand it anymore. He shouted impatiently at the arguing crowd: "Enough! Stop arguing! Shut up!"

"He," Shousui grabbed Heci's arm and announced loudly to the people in front of him, "I bit him!"

The quarrel stopped abruptly, and everyone stood there in shock. Everyone's eyes turned to Shousui, and everyone was dumbfounded.

There was only one voice left in people's minds: The boss was bitten by his own people?

Chi Yu was even more surprised after hearing this. He was stunned for more than half a minute before he came back to his senses. He couldn't help but ask Shou Sui with some displeasure: "No, why did you bite Brother He Ci?"

When Shousui heard Chi Yuge secretly alluding to him as a cat, a dog, or a civet cat, even though he knew he had no ill intentions, Shousui felt uncomfortable. He couldn't help but tell the truth, but he regretted it after he said it.

Facing Chi Yu's angry questioning, Shou Sui was speechless for a long time and couldn't answer. "It's just... I just couldn't control myself for a moment!" After hesitating for a long time, he muttered an explanation. Shou Sui didn't want to say that he just wanted to anger He Ci so he bit him on purpose!

"Ahem," He Ci pretended to cough twice, and while putting on his clothes, he spoke to break the situation that made everyone want to talk but couldn't. "I think Lu Biao has explained clearly how the superpowers came about, and you all know it very well. Although Shou Sui's situation is a bit special, he is no longer contagious with the R virus. Don't worry, I can't turn into a zombie, so I can't harm you."

He talked nonsense with a serious face, trying to get away with the matter.

"That's true." Huo He stood up and explained with a serious look, "Before becoming a mutant, the infected person needs to undergo an experiment to unlock the human gene lock. During the experiment, the R virus in the infected person's body will be decomposed and utilized."

"After becoming a mutant, the pathogens they carried when they were infected are no longer contagious, and from then on, those who successfully unlock their gene locks will have the ability to be immune to the zombie virus. Therefore, the organization strongly recommends and encourages non-virus infected people to conduct gene lock unlocking experiments on their own."

After everyone heard what Lian Huohe said, they finally felt relieved. After hearing Shousui admit that he was the one who bit Heci, they were worried that Shousui might bite them too. After all, he dared to bite Heci, let alone them?

Seeing that people's worries were gradually calming down, He Ci glanced at Huo He with a slightly grateful look.
