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

Tian Haifeng was locked in the cell next to Zhu Peng's. Wang Yao went to get food for Tian Haifeng, while Han Yu stayed outside the cell with him.

Ye Xiao emerged from the prison and slowly walked towards the fourth-floor laboratory in the administrative area.

Ye Xing followed closely by his side as always. Just as he reached the laboratory door, he heard Huo Yan and Ge Dong's voices coming from inside.

"This parasite can cause gene mutations, so isn't Tian Haifeng's condition very dangerous?"

"Ye Xiao has already isolated him!"

"To be on the safe side, it would be better to be decisive like Dafeng and chop off his hand!"

Huo Yan's voice trailed off for a few seconds before he spoke:

"The current situation is still under control, and we also need to conduct experiments and collect data. This is a new variant here, and we need to find some countermeasures as soon as possible."

……

Ye Xiao stood at the door in silence for a moment. He knew that Huo Yan's purpose in making this choice was to observe and collect relevant intelligence through Tian Haifeng.

Although this may not seem like a righteous act, and in some ways even despicable, Ye Xiao could understand it.

After all, they come from another world and must prioritize their own safety; they face greater risks than the aliens here.

The changes that occur after the rainy season are unfamiliar even to the local indigenous people, so they need to be even more careful and cautious.

"Sometimes, being a little selfish is necessary!"

Ye Xiao murmured something to himself, then came to his senses, knocked on the door, and pushed it open to enter the room.

"You came!"

Besides Huo Yan and Ge Dong, Lu Zhao was also in the room. He looked at Ye Xiao as he stepped in and nodded at him.

"Did Tian Haifeng close it?"

Ye Xiao nodded and walked a few steps to the table in the middle. Huo Yan and the other two were standing in front of the table, which had three very sturdy glass jars about the width of a palm on it.

Inside were three parasite samples retrieved from the cave, and another petri dish containing some meat tissue.

At this moment, the two parasites that should have been paralyzed have awakened and are swimming around in the glass jar, while the other one that separated from Tian Haifeng's arm is completely different from the original parasite.

It has a human-like face and is covered with black tentacles that look like hair, making it extremely disgusting.

Ye Xing, standing beside Ye Xiao, made no attempt to hide her disgust for the thing. She leaned over the table, baring her teeth at the contents of the glass jar like an angry cat.

To Ye Xiao and Huo Yan's surprise, the contents of the glass jar also jerked against the jar wall as if its fur had stood on end, making a soft thud.

Seeing this, Huo Yan couldn't help but gasp, muttering to himself, "Could this thing possess some intelligence?"

Upon hearing this, Ge Dong looked utterly incredulous. "How is that possible? This thing is just a parasite? At most, it's just an instinct."

Lu Zhao felt goosebumps all over just looking at the glass jar. Ye Xiao took a deep breath and said:

"No matter what, this thing is very dangerous, otherwise Ye Xing wouldn't have reacted this way."

Ge Dong looked up at Ye Xiao and changed the subject, "I heard you're planning to continue collecting the seed cores of king-level mutated plants. When do you plan to go again?"

Ye Xiao stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "The area with king-level mutated plants must be quite special. Red Maple Base must have information about these things."

"Perfect timing. We need to get a nuclear power generator. We need to go to the Red Maple Base soon."

Ge Dong said, "I'll go with you then!"

As soon as Ge Dong finished speaking, Ye Xiao and Lu Zhao's voices rang out in unison: "No way."

Ye Xiao shook his head. "It's too dangerous. You haven't seen how strange those plants are. Even those mutants walk around those places with their heads tied to their belts, let alone us."

Before Ge Dong could say anything more, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Before the person even arrived, Song Ye's anxious shouts came from the corridor.

"Brother Xiao, Professor Huo, something terrible has happened! Old Tian's hand is starting to mutate!"

Geek!

The hearts of the people at the table skipped a beat, and they all ran toward the door without prior arrangement.

The sound of hurried footsteps traveled from the administration building through the corridor, across the playground, and toward the prison area.

As soon as I arrived at the building, I could hear a noisy commotion coming from inside.

Several voices mingled together, including Tian Haifeng's painful sobs and groans, and Han Yu and Wang Yao's anxious and panicked shouts. They seemed to be trying to soothe Tian Haifeng's emotions or to constantly bring him back to his senses.

"Brother Tian, ​​Brother Tian, ​​are you alright?"

"Don't open the door! Don't open the door!"

Tian Haifeng's painful howls came from inside the door. His rationality made him endure the pain and warn Han Yu and Wang Yao outside not to risk opening the door.

Hearing Tian Haifeng's screams and the chaotic shouts of Han Yu and the others, Zhu Peng next door became terrified. He cursed loudly and pounded on the iron gate, venting his anger and unease.

"Shit, what's going on?"

"Let me out! I don't want to die here!"

"Is that guy about to mutate? Damn it, let me out! Open the door, open the door for me now!"

"Damn it, if you're going to die, can't you go somewhere else?"

……

"Damn it, shut up!"

Han Yu's furious voice rang out as he angrily kicked Zhu Peng's iron gate, making a loud bang.

[Three Foxes: Damn it, can't we poison this idiot to make him mute?]

[Ya Bi Jiong Jiong Jiong: I really want to feed that guy a pile of shit.]

……

At this moment, Ye Xiao and his group had already arrived at the prison area.

Upon seeing them approach, Han Yu and Wang Yao, their faces filled with unease and worry, quickly went to greet them.

"Boss, Brother Tian, ​​he, he..."

Ye Xiao and Huo Yan quickly arrived at the cell door. Looking through the window above, they saw Tian Haifeng standing in the center of the room, his right hand gripping his shoulder tightly, his left arm completely unrecognizable.

The black arm twisted and stretched out bone spurs like teeth, which tore through the skin of the arm. Several strange tentacles danced in mid-air. The original palm swelled up as if it were wearing a huge glove, and hard bone spurs were piercing through the fingertips and growing outward.

Black blood dripped down, and Tian Haifeng screamed in pain, his face already deathly pale.

[Setting Sun and Cold Snow: Holy crap, it's over, it mutated again!]

[Liangliang is me: Damn it, if I'd known, I should have just cut it off sooner!]

[The Strange Lulu: I guess she's going to become an experimental sample.]

[A salted fish can't turn over: Don't you guys have any humanity?]

[Oudoudouyou: Although this guy is alright, where does he get the time to feel sorry for them? The streamers are in much more danger, okay?]

……

The live stream was in chaos again, but neither Ye Xiao nor "Black Frame" had time to pay attention.

The blackness was spreading from his arm towards his shoulder. Seeing this, Huo Yan immediately shouted:

"Open the door! Cut off his arm, quick!"

Han Yu rushed forward to open the door, but just then, Ye Xiao suddenly felt someone tug hard at his sleeve. He turned his head and saw Ye Xing staring straight at him.

Without Ye Xing saying a word, Ye Xiao already understood the meaning in Ye Xing's eyes.

He glanced at Ye Xing with considerable surprise. The instant the iron door to the cell opened, Ye Xiao suddenly reached out and grabbed Huo Yan, saying:

"Don't go in, let Ye Xing come!"

The crowd stood at the cell door, none daring to approach easily. Ye Xing squeezed into the room. She didn't seem afraid of Tian Haifeng's horribly twisted left hand, and used her dark right hand to tightly grip Tian Haifeng's left arm.

Tian Haifeng's huge, swollen, and deformed left arm was unable to move in Ye Xing's slender hand.

Ye Xing stared at the arm for a while, then suddenly let go of it. To everyone's astonishment, she put her five fingers together, like a sharp knife, and plunged it into Tian Haifeng's left upper arm.

Puff!

A piercing scream instantly echoed throughout the entire prison building.
