"Shriveled...withered? Even if it loses some moisture, it should still have a breath left..."

Xiao Yu, a science-oriented straight man, looked at Xin Qiao with some hesitation.

The human body is 70% water. Even if pregnant women are dehydrated, they will at least be left with a skeleton; they can't just disappear into thin air.

The scene of Sun Tiantian and Han Rui going crazy was still vivid in his mind, and he felt uneasy looking at the women in the room now.

I'm always worried that these people might be mentally controlled by zombies; every word they say seems like a trap.

Lu Sheng didn't speak, but leaned against the wall with relaxed movements, using his mind to stuff the mouths of the howling zombie cubs in the space one by one with absorbent rags.

I also tossed the little sunflower over there to teach these noisy little monsters a lesson.

"What about the rest of the bodies? I'd like to examine them."

Xu Yi stepped forward, his tone polite but with a hint of firmness.

Xinqiao naturally understood the meaning behind Xu Yi's words.

If the autopsy results do not convince Lu Sheng and the others, she and the remaining people will be isolated as high-risk individuals.

She looked around and finally pointed to the spot where Zhang Xiaojuan had plopped down.

"The body is right there."

Everyone in the room focused their attention on Zhang Xiaojuan, scrutinizing her for a long time without figuring out what was going on.

"Huh? It's here with me?"

Zhang Xiaojuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tensed up. "Don't joke around. We searched the whole room when we were being chased. There's no body here."

“That’s the one you’re sitting on.” Xin Qiao said firmly, glancing at the area under Zhang Xiaojuan’s buttocks.

Zhang Xiaojuan nervously swallowed, then lifted her buttocks with some doubt and reached down to touch herself.

He was so tired that he couldn't walk anymore, so he saw a small stool covered with a white cloth in the corner and sat down on it.

He was just complaining in his mind about how the chairs at the K3 base were of poor quality and uncomfortable.

Zhang Xiaojuan's fingers landed on the white cloth, and she mustered up her courage to tear it off.

Under the white cloth, a stack of rough, dry leather was neatly piled up.

"After the malformed fetus is removed, all the pregnant women are like having their water and fat sucked out, leaving only a thin skin that dries out quickly."

Recalling the terrifying experience, Xin Qiao was still shaken, her hands unconsciously wrapping around her body. "I just folded all the skins and put them there, then covered them with a white sheet."

"These...are human skin?!" Zhang Xiaojuan's hands trembled with fright, and she scrambled to Lu Sheng's side. "Holy crap, sis, you're a master of obsessive-compulsive storage..."

They had seen plenty of dead people, but they had never seen anyone who had died and then been neatly stacked into a small stool!

"If the pregnant woman dies after the abnormal fetuses are removed, logically you should stop the operation and wait for others to discuss a solution, instead of removing all the abnormal fetuses, right?"

Xiao Yu expressed a slight puzzlement at Xin Qiao's behavior.

It was Sun Tiantian who came to Xinqiao's rescue: "The situation was very urgent. It wasn't that Sister Xinqiao wanted to help them with the fetuses, but all the pregnant women had their water break and were about to give birth."

“If we passively wait for those little monsters to be born, all the civilians here will be affected. Sister Xinqiao has no choice but to sacrifice a small number of people.”

Hearing this, Lu Sheng lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at Xin Qiao out of the corner of his eye.

He is decisive and courageous, and can be considered a straightforward person.

As the group was talking, a series of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Xiao Yu, who was closest to the door, immediately pressed herself against the wall warily and cautiously glanced outside.

The next second, a German Shepherd covered in blood rushed in and rammed into Lu Sheng, who was leaning against the wall wiping his knife sheath.

"Hmm..."

The German Shepherd was covered in wounds of all sizes, some deep enough to expose bone, with blood dripping from its limbs and leaving a sticky, bloody footprint with every step.

"This is... Beibei? This is Xiao Meng's dog?!"

Xinqiao recognized Gouzi immediately, exclaimed and rushed over, hugging Beibei with heartache, "Where's Xiaomeng? Don't be afraid, I'll put medicine on you now."

Beibei gasped for breath and vomited blood twice in Xinqiao's arms. She struggled to break free from her embrace and limped toward Lu Sheng.

Finally, with a trembling bite, it grabbed Lu Sheng's trouser leg.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering why the dog kept bothering Lu Sheng.

Excessive blood loss and exhaustion caused Beibei to bite her trouser leg and gasp for breath several times before mustering all her strength to pull Lu Sheng toward the door.

Seeing that she was too weak to pull Lu Sheng, Bei Bei whimpered and tears streamed down her face.

"It wants to pull you out?" Sun Tiantian looked up in surprise.

"Did something happen to Xiao Meng and the others? Shouldn't you have come back with Vice Commander Li and Xiao Meng?" Xin Qiao nervously clenched her fingers.

Zhang Xiaojuan suddenly realized, "I knew it! There was definitely a scream just now!"

The group exchanged glances.

It seems that Zhang Xiaojuan wasn't hallucinating just now; Vice Chief Li and Xiao Meng, who were late, are likely in danger.

Lu Sheng glanced down at the tearful dog at his feet, then redeemed a recovery potion from the system shop and forced it into Bei Bei's mouth.

This recovery potion is for humans; it might not be effective for a dog, but we'll try it as a last resort.

After taking the medicine, Beibei's unfocused pupils finally focused.

The first thing Beibei did after regaining her strength was to bite down hard on Lu Sheng's pants and pull desperately toward the door.

"Okay, I got it. Now let go and lead the way obediently."
