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

Tang Lian had a wound on her palm, and it was a fresh wound.

The wound didn't look deep, but it was rather gruesome, as if it had been cut with something not very sharp.

Ye Xiao frowned, feeling something was off.

Because of the mutated nature of this world, the people here are extremely sensitive to wounds and would absolutely never allow themselves to get hurt under normal circumstances.

Not to mention this is a maternity ward, where there is almost nothing that could cause injury, so how could Tang Lian get hurt?

Ye Xiao couldn't help but raise his hand and point to Tang Lian's right hand, voicing his doubts.

"what happened to your hand?"

Tang Lian glanced at her palm, then quickly put her hand down, subtly hiding it on the other side of her body, and answered quite swiftly.

"nothing."

Her overly hasty actions and responses made Ye Xiao suspect that she had inflicted the wound herself.

Ye Xiao advised, "Are you hurting yourself? Don't do anything foolish!"

Tang Lian forced a smile, looked away, and said, "I'm a little tired, I need to rest."

"Ah good!"

Since the other party had given him the order to leave, Ye Xiao naturally had to leave tactfully, and Tang Lian was definitely tired too.

Ye Xiao quickly stood up and whispered:

"If there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know."

As he was about to turn and leave, a "Wait!" made him stop in his tracks.

Tang Lian frowned and asked in a hoarse voice, "Did something happen tonight?"

Ye Xiao sighed heavily, "The pregnant woman in compartment number 3 died during childbirth, and the deformed baby inside escaped into the sewers."

"Be careful these next few days. You'll have to take care of your personal matters in the cubicle for now."

Tang Lian's face showed no extra expression; there was no sadness or fear. She simply stared blankly into the void, lost in thought.

Without lingering in the cubicle, Ye Xiao lifted the curtain and went out.

The maternity ward was quiet, perhaps because several people had left, making it even more deserted.

Ye Xiao walked out in silence. Zhao Huai had already returned and was sitting on the sofa.

Seeing Ye Xiao come out, Zhao Huai asked in surprise, "What were you doing in there?"

Ye Xiao glanced at him and said only, "It's the boss's order."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai dared not ask any more questions.

……

[The Heart of Isaac: Xiao-ge, let's find a way to kill that Boss Tang, he's such a beast.]

[Three Foxes: That Boss Tang really deserves to die!]

[Black frame: Do not act rashly unless Boss Tang poses a threat to your personal safety.]

[Mentally challenged youth: Who's upstairs? What a coward! Can't the streamer exchange for weapons? What's there to be afraid of?]

[Milk Egg Not Bland: This one seems to be an official source]

[A young man with dementia: ...I've lost my mind. I'm sorry, I spoke too loudly.]

……

Ye Xiao could understand the anger of the viewers in the live stream. Although he also wanted to kill that Boss Tang, he agreed with the official advice that he could not act rashly.

He didn't come here to be a savior; everyone's safety and interests must come first.

However, it seems that this place is not safe now.

After clocking out in the morning, Ye Xiao handed over the day shift and returned to 1128.

Just as Chen Ge and the others were about to leave, Ye Xiao closed the door, stopped them, and said:

"Wait a minute, everyone. Something happened in Zone 2 last night. Everyone, quickly block all the drain openings, whether it's the toilet, the sink, or the drain strainer, block them all."

Chen Ge and his group did not immediately inquire about the reason, but they knew there must be some safety hazard, so they quickly took action.

Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai also hurriedly returned to their room to deal with the drain opening.

Not long after, everyone who had done all that gathered in the living room again.

Chen Ge pressed, "What happened last night?"

"A deformed mutant has crawled into the sewer. Everyone must be careful these next few days. Boss Tang's people are not allowed to leak this information, so you understand."

Ye Xiao warned everyone, and Chen Ge and the others frowned. A Zhao seemed unaware of the rumors circulating here and asked:

"A mutant freak? What is that? Where did this mutant freak come from?"

Ye Xiao looked at him and said in a deep voice, "That Boss Tang wanted asymptomatic women to have his children, but the children born were all freaks."

Ah Zhao opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

As before, Chen Ge and his group will be going out with the base in teams these days.

The news about the freak made Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai somewhat uneasy. After all, the base was so enclosed, and if something happened, it would definitely be chaotic, making it difficult to even run away.

Apart from Chen Ge and his group, the other people in District One were completely unaware that danger was lurking in some hidden corner.

It wasn't that Chen Ge and his group were cold-blooded and unwilling to share intelligence with others; rather, they were afraid to.

Boss Tang had explicitly instructed that this matter should not be communicated to the people in District 1. If the news got out, Ye Xiao would definitely be suspected.

Ye Xiao had been praying that the mutated monster would drown in the sewers.

However, it is said that the recent rainfall has shown signs of abating, making it unlikely that the sewers of these underground defensive fortifications will be flooded.

What has been giving Ye Xiao the biggest headache these past two days is Tang Lian's situation. When Lan Ling found out, she covered her mouth and laughed so hard she almost fell over, only expressing her sympathy for Ye Xiao.

Near the end of the afternoon, there was a sudden knock on the door of room 1128. Sister Lin, who was staying in the room, came to the door and asked:

"Who?"

The person outside did not answer, but continued to knock.

Sister Lin didn't dare to speak on her own. With her doubts in mind, she went to Ye Xiao's door and knocked.

"Hey, get up!"

Lan Ling's cool voice came from the side, and Ye Xiao was woken up by a slender hand.

He yawned wearily, sat up, and frowned as he listened to Sister Lin's soft calls from outside the door.

"what happened?"

"Ye Xiao, someone is knocking on the door. I don't know who it is!"

Someone knocking on the door?

Ye Xiao rolled off the bed, and Lan Ling immediately hid in the closet.

As she opened the door, Sister Lin looked at Ye Xiao with some unease. After opening the door, a guy dressed as an adventurer stood outside.

This is an alien, wearing a slightly worn T-shirt and vest, as well as jeans, with messy hair.

"who are you?"

Ye Xiao frowned as he looked at the person at the door.

"Heh, so you're Ye Xiao?"

The guy at the door pushed Ye Xiao aside and stepped in. Then, the two other mutants pushed Ye Xiao into the room, closed the door, and stood guard behind it like door gods.

Upon seeing the visitors, Sister Lin immediately led Yangyang, who was sitting by the sofa, into the room.

The first guy to come in plopped down on the sofa, ignoring Sister Lin, and put his legs up on the coffee table with his feet crossed.

Looking at Ye Xiao, he asked, "Sun Yihai said he has a copy of the key with you?"
