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

Snapped!

The IV stand slammed heavily onto the ground, making a somewhat jarring and sharp impact sound.

Unfortunately, the freak reacted incredibly quickly, and Ye Xiao's attack missed completely.

But perhaps out of instinct, a warning of danger, the blood-red mass of flesh suddenly changed direction as it was running on the ground and turned to flee inside.

[The Heart of Isaac: Holy crap, what kind of horror movie is this?]

[Pharaoh Elden: Watching this in the middle of the night is really bad for your heart]

[Mental Health Rehabilitation Center: This monster is much scarier than the last one]

[The king summoned me to patrol the mountain: A monster has been born, how disgusting!]

……

The fans in the live stream were frantically spamming the chat with comments to express their shock.

The "freak" on the ground wriggled its tubular tentacles and fled quickly, leaving a bloody trail in its wake on the smooth ceramic tile floor.

Seeing the other party flee, Ye Xiao suddenly found his courage, waved the IV stand in his hand, and chased after them.

The "freak" dodged and weaved as the IV stand pounded on it, squeezing into any crevice or gap to escape Ye Xiao's pursuit.

But the room had become enclosed. Suddenly, it jumped onto the table by the wall, then leaped onto the medicine cabinet, wriggling its tentacles and body as it climbed ever higher up the cabinet.

It leaped to the top of the cabinet, where the airflow from the ventilation duct caught its attention. It immediately squeezed to the duct opening, only to be shut out by the metal window.

Because the gap above was too small, it couldn't get in. So, like an octopus, it leaped into the sink and slid into the drainpipe.

Ye Xiao hurriedly ran over and peered down into the drain. It was empty except for a little blood around it.

He took a few steps back, but it felt like he was stepping on sticky water.

Ye Xiao looked down and realized that he had stepped into a pool of blood spreading under the operating table.

Crimson blood dripped from the operating table, staining the floor.

The woman on the operating table had her abdomen wide open, torn open with a gruesome gash. Her limbs hung limply, and her face, with its eyes tightly closed, was ashen.

This poor woman is dead!

Ye Xiao's chest heaved as he breathed heavily, and he strode towards the door.

Dr. Liao was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and there were suspicious water stains on his crotch.

Ye Xiao didn't want to pay attention to these things, because clearly, there was something more important at hand.

He tugged at Dr. Liao's clothes, bringing him back to his senses, and said:

"Dr. Liao, that thing has gone into the sewer!"

The underground workshop must have a special drainage and sewage system. That thing is obviously not just a "freak"; it is probably no different from the mutated creatures outside.

It must possess extremely strong vitality, perhaps enabling it to live and roam freely in the sewers without any hindrance.

The sewers connect to all the places where people live, which poses a great safety hazard.

"It went into the sewer?"

Dr. Liao finally came to his senses. His legs were still weak as he stood up, his lips trembling as he said:

"It's over, it's over!"

Ye Xiao cursed under his breath and said, "Whether it's finished or not, the problem now is whether we should report it to the higher-ups! Who knows where that thing might run off to?"

"Yes, yes, we must report to Boss Tang."

He paced back and forth in a panic, and after a while, feeling dizzy and disoriented, he finally found the door to go out.

"You, you take the body away and burn it first. I'll go report to Boss Tang!"

As he spoke, Dr. Tang stumbled and ran towards the front of the passage.

Ye Xiao stood at the operating room door, his brows furrowed. He took a deep breath and patted his cheeks to try and keep his mind clear.

He turned to look at Zhao Huai, who had fled halfway and was standing against the wall in the corridor. A hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he still asked politely:

"Brother Zhao, the pregnant woman is dead, what should we do with her body?"

Zhao Huai awkwardly forced a smile, separated his back from the wall, and walked towards the operating room.

"Of course we should take them and burn them, otherwise who knows what might come next."

The two went back into the operating room. Zhao Huai went to the side of the unconscious woman in the corner and shook her awake.

With a terrified scream, the woman finally woke up.

They looked like they'd lost their souls, their faces deathly pale.

Zhao Huai quickly said to the other person, "Go back to District 3 first and stay there."

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She scrambled to her feet, not daring to look even slightly in the direction of the operating table.

As if fleeing for their lives, they rushed out of the operating room.

The woman on the operating table died a gruesome death. Ye Xiao and Zhao Huai silently put the body into a bag, and then dragged it toward the incinerator.

Just as they dragged the body out of the corridor, a series of hurried footsteps came running from the direction of Zone 3.

To Ye Xiao's utter surprise, apart from Dr. Liao who led the way, everyone else seemed to be a mutant.

They were dressed in clean clothes, and the two men in front were carrying guns. They were strong and tall, and looked like private bodyguards.

There were two other guys dressed similarly behind them, except the one behind had long hair and was a bit thinner.

Zhao Huai, who was helping Ye Xiao drag the corpse, quickly moved the body aside to make way for the group of people when he saw them.

The group walked past Ye Xiao and his companion with great speed and efficiency, heading straight for the operating room.

Ye Xiao could clearly feel Zhao Huai's body tense for a moment, and he only let out a breath after the group had completely disappeared from the operating room door.

Then, Zhao Huai pulled the bag containing the corpse closer to himself and gave Ye Xiao a smirk.

"Hey Ye Xiao, I can take the body over and burn it myself. They'll definitely be questioning us later, so you can stay here and report back."

Before Ye Xiao could speak, Zhao Huai snatched a corner of the bag from Ye Xiao's hand and dragged the corpse along, quickening his pace toward the iron gate.

Ye Xiao did not chase after them. Judging from Zhao Huai's appearance, he seemed to be filled with fear and submission to those people.

Ye Xiao turned his head to look in the direction of the operating room. It seemed that those guys were Tang's men.

Zhao Huai had already dragged Ye Xiao away, leaving Ye Xiao no choice but to turn around and head towards the operating room.

As they approached, they heard Dr. Tang inside, his voice trembling, desperately describing his terrible ordeal to them.

But perhaps because he was too scared and nervous, his sentences were always incoherent, which made the four people start to get impatient.

"Damn it, can you explain yourself clearly? Are you out of your mind?"

"What a piece of trash!"

The long-haired man was the first to spit out an impatient curse, then he turned his head and looked at Ye Xiao at the door.

Seeing Ye Xiao's calm expression, he raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down, then said:

"Kid, you tell me!"
