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

That foot kicked its companion viciously and mercilessly.

Pfft!

The man's head was cracked, but not the one who was kicked; it was the big guy who tried to escape.

A tentacle, like a sharp spear, pierced his head, passing through the skull without hindrance from one of his eye sockets.

The giant froze instantly. Then, the tentacle that had pierced the skull coiled and pulled.

With a ripping sound, followed by the tearing sound of muscles splitting, the big man's head was ripped off his neck.

Blood gushed out like a fountain from the severed neck, raining down like a storm.

The strong smell of blood made Lan Ling, who was hiding inside the ventilation duct, shiver involuntarily.

The man whose body was half-crushed on the bed crawled in agony, his consciousness seemingly dissolving, and soon began to convulse and twist in a bizarre way.

Several strange bones began to fork at the broken thigh, while blood-red flesh began to writhe on the broken neck of the headless corpse lying to one side.

Another mutation has begun?

Lan Ling was filled with horror. She dared not stay in the ventilation duct any longer. She had to go back and tell Liang Kai and the others about this, so that they could find a way to leak it to the guards outside.

If this situation continues to develop, the consequences could be disastrous.

Lan Ling struggled to turn around in the ventilation duct, and was just about to crawl away when she heard a gasp from inside the room.

"What's going on? Why does it smell so strongly of blood?"

Lan Ling paused, it seemed that the companions of those guys had finally realized something was wrong.

Without much hesitation, Lan Ling quickly moved back the way she came, her forehead already covered in a fine layer of sweat.

Returning to 1128, Lan Ling laboriously climbed out of the ventilation duct and then closed it again.

Liang Kai and Zhou Qirui, who were sleeping in bed, were awakened by Lan Ling's noise. Zhou Qirui yawned and groggily looked to the side, but was instantly forced to look away by a glaring light.

"Hey, get up now!"

Lan Ling shook the two people on the bed violently. Zhou Qirui raised his hand to shield his eyes from the light, which he found difficult to adjust to, and sat up, asking in confusion:

"A beautiful girl from Lanzhou University? What's wrong?"

"Something's happened! Get up!"

"Something happened? What happened?"

The two people who were still yawning and half-asleep on the bed immediately woke up when they heard those three words.

Both of them stared wide-eyed, their sleepiness completely gone.

Zhou Qirui became much more sober. He knew Lan Ling was going to "silence" someone tonight, and upon hearing Lan Ling say that something had happened, he couldn't help but ask:

"Did you fail your mission?"

Lan Ling still had a fine sheen of sweat on her forehead. Her brows were furrowed, and she shook her head with an unusually serious expression.

"No, things have gotten worse."

"Before I could even make a move, Wu Long had an accident. Do you remember what Ye Xiao said about that mutated monster that escaped?"

Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai's hearts skipped a beat, and Liang Kai immediately sat up straight.

"You saw that thing?"

Lan Ling nodded somewhat uncertainly, "I don't know if it is, but that thing bit Wu Long and then crawled into the sewer. I suspect it's that mutated monster."

"Wu Long was badly bitten, but in less than half a minute, he turned into a monster."

"and many more!"

Zhou Qirui blinked, a hint of confusion showing on his slightly chubby face.

"How long do you think it took for Wu Long to mutate?"

Lan Ling thought for a moment, "I'm sure it won't be more than half a minute."

Zhou Qirui gasped sharply. Seeing his reaction, Liang Kai quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Qirui's expression was somewhat grim as he said, "I asked Dahei and the others before, and they said that it takes about one or two hours for an injured person to mutate!"

"That guy mutated so quickly, that's not normal!"

Liang Kai was now covered in goosebumps, and he quickly threw back the covers, saying:

"Alright, whatever we say here is nonsense. We need to tell Chen Ge and the others right away!"

Liang Kai and Zhou Qirui nodded to Lan Ling, signaling her to hide, and then the two opened the door to leave.

The two men, holding flashlights, opened the door, only to be nearly startled by a figure standing in front of the bathroom.

The two looked closely and saw that the bathroom door was tightly closed, and a short, thin figure stood in front of it with striking white hair and pale skin.

He is Sister Lin's son, nicknamed Yangyang.

He stood motionless at the bathroom door, his gaze seemingly able to see inside through the frosted glass door.

When the two came out, the boy didn't react much, but his eyes remained fixed on the bathroom door.

His strange behavior made Zhou Qirui frown, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the frosted glass door, wondering what the other person was looking at.

"Yangyang, what are you doing here? Do you need to go to the toilet?"

Liang Kai couldn't help but ask a question. The boy at the toilet door seemed to come to his senses at that moment. He shook his head and then quickly ran back to his room.

Zhou Qirui cautiously approached the door, but there was no sound from inside. He carefully opened the door and checked it. All the drains were tightly blocked, and there was nothing unusual.

Big Black, who was sleeping on the living room sofa, was awakened by the commotion. His gruff voice rang out:

"what happened?"

Zhou Qirui closed the bathroom door again and hurriedly said, "There's a situation in 1116. Someone has mutated."

Dahei didn't press Zhou Qirui and the others about why they knew, since they already knew that Ye Xiao and the others had a secret, and they didn't doubt Zhou Qirui's words at all.

He immediately woke up Old Han, who was standing to the side, and then quickly went to the door of Chen Ge and the others and knocked on it.

A short while later, Chen Ge and A Zhao, who had heard the commotion, came out.

"Wu Long was bitten by a mutated monster and turned into a monster. How do you think we should tell the guards about this?"

Zhou Qirui's words made Chen Ge frown. He didn't doubt the truth of the matter.

Because of Ye Xiao's habit of always bringing food into the room, he had a vague idea that there might be someone hiding in Ye Xiao's room.

But they all tacitly kept the secret and did not ask Ye Xiao.

After all, they had already decided to follow Ye Xiao, and pursuing these secrets too much would only reduce Ye Xiao's trust in them.

Normally, I would just ask Sister Lin to cook enough for one more person.

Today, after learning that Ye Xiao had been threatened by Wu Long and his group, Chen Ge and his friends were planning to teach those guys a lesson.

But Ye Xiao said he would find a way.

It's likely that the person hiding in the house originally planned to act stealthily at night.

There are ventilation ducts underground; perhaps that person saw something through there.

Without hesitation, Chen Ge addressed A Zhao and Da Hei Dao:

"You two come with me to the door of 1116 and lock it. Don't come out."
