The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

The noodles in the pot were cooked, and in the bubbling hot soup, you could see vegetables and chunks of meat. The rich aroma quickly filled the underground space.

Ye Xing's drool was already forming a puddle beside her, and Lan Ling helplessly took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

Under Ye Xiao's reassurance, Ye Xing allowed Huo Yan to focus intently on the dark arm on his right hand.

To avoid contamination, Huo Yan wore special protective gloves and a mask, observing very carefully from the side.

The strong aroma was so tempting that a crowd had already gathered around Ye Xiao and his group.

They didn't dare get too close, just staring at the steaming pot from a few meters away, constantly swallowing their saliva.

Perhaps because of Ye Xiaoxin's status as a divine envoy, although these people's eyes were filled with endless greed, not one of them dared to do anything blasphemous or had the courage to do so.

Just then, Zhu Yue suddenly moved over, but upon seeing Ye Xiao's cold gaze, she immediately knelt on the ground, covered her face with one hand, and performed a deep bow to Ye Xiao.

Then he crawled a few steps toward Ye Xiao, completely ignoring Chen Ge and the others, and said to Ye Xiao:

"God, Your Majesty, I beg you to grant me some food. I am willing to offer myself to Your Majesty as your most loyal servant!"

"what?"

Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment, not understanding Zhu Yue's meaning.

Zhu Yue looked at Ye Xiao with hopeful eyes, completely devoid of her previous disdain. She crawled a few steps closer to Ye Xiao. Seeing her movement, Han Yu immediately stood up, took a step forward to block her way, and shouted:

"What are you doing? Don't come any closer!"

Zhu Yue stopped moving, but remained prostrate on the ground, looking at Ye Xiao with a pitiful pleading expression:

"My lord, I... I haven't eaten for two days. I'm willing to offer my body and beg for your mercy!"

Liu Yang glanced at Ye Xiao and said with a hint of sourness, "This beauty is offering herself up to you!"

Ye Xiao twitched his eye. Didn't he understand?

He glanced at Liu Yang. "What? You're envious? Aren't you afraid of the mutation?"

"..."

Liu Yang was taken aback, then remembered that these people were all mutants, and silently shut his mouth.

Ye Xiao frowned and shouted loudly:

"Zhu Hongchang, take your daughter back!"

Ye Xiao had no intention of sharing food with these people. These guys, apart from blindly worshipping him as a divine messenger, were of little practical help to him.

Ye Xiao didn't have time to be a sucker, but he couldn't let these people do this either. He still had to appease them properly to prevent these guys, whose perceptions had long been distorted, from doing anything else that was hard to guard against.

He remembered that among the achievement rewards for killing Boss Tang, there was a book that recorded various edible mutated plants.

After dinner, Ye Xiao asked A Zhao to take the information book and give the group a general overview, and also to tell them the key points for survival in the base.

This should calm these guys down and prevent them from doing anything too dangerous.

As night fell, Ye Xiao still arranged for several people to take turns keeping watch. Because of the previous lesson, even though these people had already regarded Ye Xiao as a divine messenger, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

The next day at daybreak, Ye Xiao's convoy, with a bus carrying more than twenty people behind it, slowly entered the Gaotang base.

Yang Ke looked at the group of people queuing up for individual checks at the checkpoint with surprise, then glanced at Huo Yan and the others slowly walking out from the other side. At this moment, the look in his eyes towards Ye Xiao had completely changed.

He hadn't expected that Ye Xiao would actually bring back several asymptomatic individuals this time, and even more than twenty mutated individuals.

Yang Ke, who had initially harbored some opposition to Yang Ke leaving the base despite being an asymptomatic individual, now dispelled his protest.

After all, the increasing number of asymptomatic individuals joining the base can only bring benefits, not harm.

Zhu Hongchang and his group kept thanking Ye Xiao, but how they would survive afterward was their own business.

But at least, it's much safer inside the base than outside.

Ye Xiao ignored them and instead led Huo Yan and the others to see Yang Hao, the current manager of the asymptomatic individuals.

As a professor of genetic engineering, Huo Yan naturally also knows a lot about medicine, but he did not reveal his knowledge. Instead, he disclosed that he used to be a professor of biology.

Just for this survival criterion, the base would attach great importance to him and transfer all the affairs that Dr. Liao used to manage to Huo Yan into his hands, since the base is in dire need of a doctor who can handle asymptomatic cases.

After all, although the base has the equipment to produce inhibitors and serums, it still requires people with certain biological and medical knowledge to operate them better.

Huo Yan's arrival solved the immediate problem.

In addition, three pregnant women carrying mutated fetuses also urgently need to undergo cesarean sections to remove and treat the mutated babies.

Lan Ling successfully entered the quarantine zone 2 as an assistant. After Lao Gui and Bai Hu completed the basic registration, they stayed at the modified car shop.

Ye Xiao has already obtained all the information about the Gaotang base, so there is nothing more they need to do.

All you need to do is participate in field missions, collect various experimental subjects and samples, or collect seed nuclei.

Liu Yang followed beside Ye Xiao, because Ye Xiao was somewhat worried about this guy who was too unruly.

Ye Xiao plans to send Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai back in the next couple of days, but since Liu Yang and Lao Gui have just arrived, he intends to keep them for a few more days to familiarize them with the place before sending the two back.

Night fell, and 8 o'clock arrived precisely on time.

Nowadays, night patrols are not like before; they don't require staying up all night, but it's still necessary to routinely check everything, which is considered an easy job.

Ye Xiao and Liu Yang, holding flashlights, wandered around the workshop area before slowly walking towards the corridor of the isolation zone on the other side.

Liu Yang dragged his feet lazily, "I'm so bored every day, when are we going hunting?"

Ye Xiao was slightly speechless. "I've been exhausted from arranging things for you guys these past few days. Have you gotten used to it now?"

Liu Yang waved his hand casually, "What's there to be unaccustomed to? Are you kidding me?"

"I see a lot of those adventure teams going to the city every day to collect seed cores. Don't you have weapons? Why are you holed up in the base running some crappy repair shop all day? Aren't you a coward?"

"Ah!"

Ye Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have even entered the base."

Liu Yang raised his hand, raising his eyebrows, "Hey, to be precise, it's them, not me. I'm not like those two cowards. What's there to be afraid of?"

"You stay here every day, don't you get bored?"

"What's there to be afraid of if we have guns? If a level three mutant comes, we'll just kill it!"

Ye Xiao smirked, watching Liu Yang keep spouting nonsense, and rolled his eyes. Anyone who didn't know better would think this guy was the one with the system!

At this point, the comments section was filled with jeering and jeers.

[Milk Egg Not Bland: I'm fucking impressed by this guy, he's really good at bragging.]

[Take this pretty punch: Brother Xiao, satisfy him! I want to see how he wreaks havoc!]

[A teacher for a day: Does this guy have to brag?]

[Three Foxes: Brother Xiao, grant his wish]

……

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and remembered the experimental data he had given to Huo Yan. Perhaps Huo Yan needed some new samples, so he decided to ask him first.

Thinking this, Ye Xiao led Liu Yang to Isolation Zone 2, where a laboratory was still lit up.

After arriving here, Huo Yan devoted himself to the laboratory every day with fervor, as if he had twelve times the energy.

Ye Xiao and Liu Yang arrived at the laboratory door. Hearing their footsteps, the laboratory door opened from the inside.

Lan Ling, who was sitting near the door, opened the door. Ye Xiao glanced at Professor Huo, who was carefully observing something under a microscope in the corner, and asked:

"He hasn't rested yet?"

Lan Ling rolled her eyes in utter helplessness. "Don't even mention it. Now I know what it's like when researchers get fanatical. If he weren't human and needed to sleep, I doubt he'd even want to sleep."

Huo Yan's deep voice came from inside, "You don't understand. All the creatures here are a new and unknown world to me. There is so much to explore."

At this point, Huo Yan suddenly raised his head with a serious expression and said:

"By the way, they forcibly took away the corpse of that level-three mutant."

Ye Xiao frowned. "Take it away? Where did you take it?"

Huo Yan shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear about it. I just heard them mention buying and selling. It seems like they're planning to sell the mutant's corpse to someone at a high price."

Ye Xiao's heart skipped a beat. The corpse of a level-three mutant—sell it? Sell it to whom? Who would want it?

Huo Yan took a deep breath and said:

"Anyone willing to pay a high price for the corpse of such a high-level mutant must have a more sophisticated experimental team. At the very least, there must be an experimental team and organization behind them."
