Thousands of Love

Before the young man with the earring could react, his captain, Lin Xingchen, had already flashed in front of Yu Zhizhi—

"careful!"

Lin Xingchen smelled a pungent odor of rotting flesh. He saw that a large patch of skin on the back of the white-haired man's neck was already festering. He was still clutching his neck, his body convulsing, and his breathing gradually becoming heavier.

The silver-haired youth looked up at the man standing in front of him, his voice trembling slightly: "Captain, what's wrong with me...?"

The nightingale stared at him blankly.

The boy, who was sitting in the car and live-streaming with a selfie stick, was so frightened that he trembled all over!

In contrast, the girl who had vomited several times was much calmer. Pale-faced, she nudged her companion with one hand: "Get off quickly, from the other side!"

The live stream chat was flooded with comments!

【Oh no! Could he have been infected?!】

How could this be?! Didn't they just arrive at area C20?!

The speed of this mutation... is terrifying...

No wonder C20's request was rated as a five-star difficulty level!

This was the first time Yu Zhizhi had witnessed someone mutate right before her eyes since returning to Earth.

As a healer, she didn't even have time to examine him. In the short time it took to say a few words, the silver-haired youth's eyes had already turned white, and his black pupils had gradually lost their color, turning into a misty gray, with spider-like cracks in the depths of his eyes.

The crack stretched from his eye to his face, dark red like dried blood, and his lips turned black and purple.

"He's mutated!" Lin Xingchen led Yu Zhizhi back more than ten meters.

Another young man in the team reacted quickly. He pulled a card out of his pocket, and in an instant, a golden line appeared on the ground in front of Yu Zhizhi, as if it could keep all dangers out.

The white-haired youth who had just been choking back tears and asking "What happened to me?" has now completely lost consciousness. His body is contorted to the extreme, like a marionette, his clothes are torn, his neck is crooked, and the filth in his eyes is growing heavier.

—Too fast!

Nightingale suppressed the tremor in his heart; the fingers holding the cigarette almost lost all strength.

The cigarette butt fell.

At the same time, his former companions rushed toward him. The mutated white-haired youth's speed had greatly increased. He roared like a beast, with strange fangs growing from his mouth, wanting to tear anyone in his sight to pieces!

His condition caught everyone off guard—

Even if infected, there is usually an incubation period, with symptoms developing within 3 to 7 days. His case, where he was infected one second and mutated the next, is extremely rare!

Mutation means that he has completely lost his humanity.

Even Yu Zhizhi, who possesses the ability to heal, finds it difficult to approach him and heal his wounds.

On the Beast World planet, Yu Zhizhi had seen many infected individuals, but the most troublesome were the little octopuses—

Even though it mutated, it still retained the will of its original self. It was dangerous, yet it could control its own behavior, giving Yu Zhizhi the opportunity to purify the source of pollution for it.

Sensing Yu Zhizhi's growing restlessness, Lin Xingchen turned back and cautioned, "It's too late. The source of the pollution has completely taken control of his body. He will continue to kill until..."

The mutated white-haired man has started fighting with Nightingale.

It's clear that the nightingale, out of consideration for its former companions, didn't kill the nightingale.

However, the mutated humans wanted to drag him down to hell.

In the brief exchange, he used up all his mental energy.

Before Lin Xingchen could finish speaking, the mutated silver-haired youth, after being repelled once again, knelt on one knee, his body emitting a burst of hot steam as if he had just come out of a bath.

A series of tremors came from deep within his throat—

"Until?" Yu Zhizhi was completely stunned. She looked at the young man who had just been chatting with her, but now he looked like a ghost.

The young man with the earring stared directly at the mutated person, his eyes flashing: "...self-destruct."

He took a deep breath: "He's going to self-destruct."

The infection has penetrated deep into their bones; there's no cure. They'll kill like madmen, and once they've exhausted their mental energy, they'll choose to self-destruct.

As the young man with the earring finished speaking, Yu Zhizhi heard an explosion coming from ahead. The person kneeling on one knee was instantly turned into a pile of mud and blood by the high-temperature steam...

The girl who had just gotten off the bus swayed, bent over, and vomited violently, holding onto the door with one hand.

"vomit!!"

Tears streamed down her face, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Her stomach, which had vomited several times due to motion sickness, was now empty of everything except for acidic fluid.

The boy holding the selfie stick was trembling; he had no interest in reading the live stream comments, his mind was filled with the image of his silver-haired companion's self-destruction.

A living, breathing person was reduced to nothing but a pool of blood!

Yu Zhizhi's face was pale.

This was the first time she had experienced something like this since she came back.

A deep sorrow flashed in Nightingale's eyes, his fingers clenching tightly in his palm: "42 mutants, good... good..."

He raised his hand, his right arm transforming into a long halberd: "Prepare for battle!"

The official keywords for the live stream popped up—

Besides Nightingale, Lin Xingchen could also sense that the mutated species were rushing towards them in groups!

It was as if they were being driven by someone...

The tense atmosphere finally changed, but this time everyone was on high alert. The young woman who was vomiting uncontrollably swallowed two white pills and her hands moved rapidly in front of her.

As she moved, a golden halo slowly appeared on the ground behind her, and like a projection, a pure white mecha appeared.

[Name: Tong Xiaoya! Special Ability: Mecha! Total Points: 1220!]

A dark shadow approached, and Lin Xingchen kicked it. The light of the polar day almost shone brightly, overshadowing all the streetlights.

His movements are fluid and graceful. After awakening his superpower, he has been training his physical fitness and martial arts diligently to better control the power of [light], combining the two into one, which has led to his highly entertaining combat skills today!

The official pop-up window in the live stream continues to broadcast—

Lin Xingchen shielded Yu Zhizhi from all danger.

Behind her, the young man with the earring gripped a knife in one hand and, with a tense expression, slashed a giant mutated frog away!

He is usually very talkative and chatty, but when it matters, he purses his lips tightly and remains silent!

[Name: Bai Su! Special Ability: Knife! Total Points: 1200!]

Yu Zhizhi saw that they were surrounded by mutated creatures...

Although she was still reeling from the image of the silver-haired youth's self-destruction, she forced herself to calm down and prepared to form hand seals in front of her.
