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

[Grandpa's foot bath: By the way, who is Sun Yihai? I don't remember him.]

[Boligelang: I didn't remember either]

[The fish that eats cats: Copying keys? Could it be those guys who stole things at night a while ago?]

[Milk Egg Not Bland: I remember now, that coward was on patrol the night shift the day before.]

……

When Sun Yihai was mentioned, Ye Xiao was a little confused and couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

But when the topic of copying the key came up, he immediately recalled it.

Ye Xiao sized up the person sitting on the sofa, showing no fear whatsoever. Putting aside the fact that they were inside the base, if this guy dared to cause trouble, he would definitely be in deep trouble.

Moreover, he was asymptomatic, and asymptomatic individuals are protected within the base and are considered Tang's "property."

Ye Xiao had already guessed who the newcomer was, and tentatively asked, "Are you Brother Long?"

The person on the sofa nodded, neither confirming nor denying. However, Ye Xiao's probing also indirectly admitted that the copy key was indeed with him.

Even if he doesn't admit it, it's no use; that coward Sun Yihai must have already betrayed him.

"You want to copy the key?"

Ye Xiao asked, it seemed these guys were planning to do it themselves.

Brother Long didn't deny it, but squinted at Ye Xiao, "Kid, the men under my command aren't pushovers. Although I know you have a few other mutant companions, but..."

Brother Long had only said half of what he wanted to say when Ye Xiao turned and walked towards the room, only to come out again a few seconds later.

Feeling humiliated by Ye Xiao's neglect, Brother Long slammed his hand on the table in a fit of rage, "You brat..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a bunch of keys was thrown at him, interrupting him once again.

Brother Long instinctively caught the object thrown at him. Just as he was about to lash out, he realized something was wrong. He looked down at the keys in his hand, and the words he was about to say stuck in his throat.

"Here you are, take it!"

Wu Long had no doubts whatsoever. With a delighted expression, he pointed his finger at Ye Xiao, seemingly surprised by his decisiveness. He had originally planned to use coercion and inducement.

"Kid, get it right!"

Wu Long stood up with the keys in his hand and warned Ye Xiao, "Shut your mouth, you know what you should and shouldn't say, right?"

Ye Xiao nodded and said coldly, "I don't want to get into trouble."

Wu Long smiled smugly, tossed the keys in his hand, put them in his pocket, and swaggered out.

"By the way, don't move around for the next couple of days. There's a curfew over there, and Boss Tang's guards will be patrolling."

Wu Long frowned, clearly having heard some rumors as well. He nodded silently, gave a wink to the two people at the door, and the three of them opened the door and went out.

The three figures left without even a hint of gratitude.

Ye Xiao closed the door without a care in the world. The fans in the live stream were puzzled by Ye Xiao's attitude, and some even criticized him in disapproval.

[Grandpa's soaked feet: Isn't the streamer being too cowardly? Giving it away so easily?]

[Three Foxes: It's no use anyway, just don't get involved.]

[Deep Sea Fear: A bit of a coward, scared already?]

[Xiaoyao Gege: Someone shared this with me, saying it's really exciting, is this all? What a coward.]

……

Ye Xiao ignored the comments in the live chat and made no attempt to explain.

He pushed open the door and entered the room. Lan Ling had already crawled out of the closet and was asking him a question:

"Who were those people outside just now? Did they threaten you?"

Ye Xiao nodded, sat down on the bed, and opened the online store.

Lan Ling watched Ye Xiao staring at the movement in the void and knew what he was probably doing, so she curiously observed him from the side.

The viewers in the live stream were completely confused, because Ye Xiao had opened the potion shop interface and was browsing the finished medicines inside.

Ye Xiao suddenly turned to Lan Ling and asked, "Is there any medicine that can cause sudden death immediately after injection?"

Lan Ling, who was sitting cross-legged to one side with her arms crossed, raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Xiao with interest, asking:

"Are you planning to kill me to silence me?"

Ye Xiao did not deny it at all, "Regardless of whether those guys' subsequent actions will be exposed, they got their copy keys from us, so they are being held hostage."

"If we get caught, it could easily implicate us, and if we are searched, it could expose our existence."

"No matter what, those guys are a threat to us, and I think it's best to deal with them as soon as possible."

"Killing these guys directly would save a lot of trouble. At the very least, the guards would search for the duplicate key and take it away, which would completely remove us from the list."

"What do you think about poisoning their food and making it look like they died of food poisoning?"

Ye Xiao's reason for reminding those guys that martial law was in effect for the next few days wasn't out of any good intentions; it was to prepare for silencing them.

From the moment Wu Long mentioned the copy key, Ye Xiao harbored murderous intent towards these guys.

As an asymptomatic individual, Sun Yihai's death would inevitably be investigated and prosecuted. Therefore, although Sun Yihai was a coward and annoying person, Ye Xiao could not take action against him.

But these mutants were different. After they died, no one dared to conduct further examinations on them, because there was a high risk of infection.

The guards here are currently busy investigating the freak incident and are unlikely to devote their energy to the deaths of several adventure teams. They will most likely just dispose of the bodies and leave it at that.

After the copy key was taken away by the guards, Sun Yihai dared not utter a single word about it, so the origin of the copy key naturally had nothing to do with Ye Xiao.

Lan Ling raised her hand and clapped lightly. "Good idea. Do you need my help?"

Ye Xiao looked at her as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Of course, I have to work the night shift. Only you can move around freely."

Tsk! Lan Ling rolled her eyes in annoyance, but as a special agent, this kind of thing was indeed not difficult for her.

"but!"

Ye Xiao reminded him, "It's not difficult for you to sneak into their room, but once they wake up, it will be very difficult for you to deal with them."

"You should know that these mutants have all experienced an astonishing increase in physical strength. No matter how strong you were before, you might not be their match."

Ye Xiao's words silenced Lan Ling. She nodded, knowing that Ye Xiao was telling the truth. She absolutely could not underestimate him, and she knew very well that getting injured here was extremely dangerous.

Ye Xiao and Lan Ling began discussing a foolproof plan to "kill and silence" the witnesses.

The fans in the live stream fell into a brief silence.

[The Heart of Isaac: Come on, those of you who called our Xiao-ge a coward, come out here.]

[Sanhu: New fans really don't know anything about our Brother Xiao]

[Grandpa's soaked feet: Holy crap, this streamer is ruthless]

[Dawn's Flame: I felt something was off earlier, Xiao-ge gave it to me too quickly.]

[Big Cousin: I'm sure those who are only swayed by their immediate emotions wouldn't last a day there.]
