There were about one or two hundred Rongcheng residents who fled from Rongcheng by train that day.

Now they are all temporarily staying in quarantine hotels.

After moving in, some people turned into zombies one after another and were all taken to the research building.

The remaining people registered their information when they checked in.

Jiao Nanmu identified three people living near the unfinished building.

Suddenly one of these three people came in and asked them a series of information. They were confused and nervous, fearing that they had inadvertently been infected with some germs or had caused some trouble.

You have to know how nervous and scared they were when they saw people turning into zombies a while ago, thinking that they would become one of them.

"Normally, not many people go there. Those of us who live nearby don't go there."

"Have you seen anyone walking there normally?"

"The one who usually goes there... Oh yeah, there's that short guy with Mediterranean hair and glasses."

"I saw him on the train a few days ago, but I don't know his name."

"Is there something wrong with that city lord?"

Seeing the nervous expression on the man's face, Xu Bai reassured him, "Nothing, I just found something there. It's quite important. I'll see if I can find the owner."

"We've simply packed up some of your things and will bring them back. When you leave here later, just ask Xu Qing to pick them up."

When Xu Bai and Ji Heng went to Rongcheng, they paid attention to the places where those who entered the city had lived. If they saw anything that was still usable, they would bring it back for them.

"Really? Thank you, City Lord. You are such a kind person. Now we can settle down as soon as possible."

These days, people staying in hotels are worried about how they will survive after leaving the hotel, as they have no money and no luggage.

Fortunately, they were assigned some manual work these days, so they earned a little, but they still needed to buy all kinds of things. When the man heard that they could still have their old things, he smiled with joy.

No one would realize how important these little items are unless they are in trouble.

But when you have nothing and are worried about the next meal, you pay special attention to these things.

Xu Bai smiled and learned from the other two people that they were talking about the same person, a man named Xu Hai.

But the name Xu Hai was not in the information they had registered, nor was there a short man with glasses and a height of about 1.4 meters as they said.

Xu Bai and Ji Heng looked at each other and nodded.

The two of them watched the surveillance videos of these residents entering the hotel. They found that the men who came in looked of normal height, and even the women were at least 1.5 meters tall.

"Is he dead?" Ji Heng muttered, and then his pupils shrank. "Step back a little."

"Is this person's information still available?"

Xu Bai quickly matched the registration information with the tall man in the surveillance video.

"Xu Tianhe used to live in the third base in Rongcheng, which is quite far from the unfinished building we went to."

"Xu Tianhe, Xu Hai..." Ji Heng pointed at Xu Tianhe's feet in the temporary surveillance footage. "Look at this. Do you think his feet are a little abnormal?"

"He looked uncoordinated and was using a cane."

"It's hard not to wonder if he has something on his foot, a prosthetic leg?"

"Look at his hat again. When the others got into the hotel, they took off their protective gear. Although this doesn't mean anything, I still feel like there's something fishy about this guy. Look here, he refused help and struggled to get to the room on his own..."

I replayed the surveillance video again and watched Xu Tianhe's unusual behavior and the shifty way he looked at others.

"He hasn't come out since he entered the room. He only slipped his hands when delivering food, and he didn't even show his face. Isn't he afraid that the one delivering the food is a zombie?"

It is no longer a secret that there are zombies that look like humans living in Dawn City.

"And considering his height according to his profile is over 175cm, the extent of his outstretched hand is clearly intentionally upwards."

Xu Bai smiled, stood up and looked at Ji Heng, "Why don't you just go and check it out and find out?"

The moment the door of Xu Tianhe's room was knocked.

Xu Tianhe raised his hand to take the meal as usual, but the tray was not placed in his hand as quickly as usual. Xu Tianhe immediately realized that something was wrong and withdrew his hand to close the door, but a force of gravity pushed the door open, and he was pushed back several steps.

Seeing Xu Bai and Ji Heng standing in the room, Xu Tianhe suddenly felt something was wrong and wanted to escape.

But the door had already been closed, and Ji Heng immediately grabbed Xu Tianhe and threw him onto the bed.

A person who was originally 1.75 meters tall is now only just over 1.4 meters tall.

Seeing the man who looked much shorter than he was in the surveillance video, Ji Heng sneered, "Why are you running? Should I call you Xu Tianhe or Xu Hai?"

As he walked towards Xu Tianhe, he picked up the prosthesis he had thrown on the bed and handed one of the legs to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai: "It's quite realistic. This thing is pretty good."

"What on earth do you want to do? Give it back to me!"

"Don't you in Dawn City allow people to wear prosthetic limbs?"

Xu Bai's smile deepened. "Did you make this? What materials do you need?"

Xu Tianhe: “…”

"It's okay if you don't want to tell me. We in Dawn City are full of talented people. We will be able to make these things sooner or later."

Xu Bai threw away his prosthetic limb and folded his arms: "How far have you progressed in developing zombies? What else have you done?"

"Tell the truth."

"The fact that we can ask you this means we already know what you did."

Under normal circumstances, they could just kill the person to vent their anger, but if Xu Tianhe did something secretly, without surveillance in other areas, they would know nothing about it.

"And where do you dump the waste materials from your research?"

Every time Xu Bai questioned him, Xu Tianhe would shrink back inside. When Ji Heng approached, he would slap him wildly, causing his hat to fall off, revealing his bald head.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I wear prosthetic limbs because I'm short and it's less likely I'll get hurt by zombies. What's it to you?"

"This is even slower than your original legs. Do you need to use crutches usually?" Xu Bai said casually, glancing at Xu Tianhe's short legs from time to time, as if he was curious about how the prosthesis was installed on his healthy legs.

Xu Tianhe pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Nothing? Ji Heng, what do you think will happen if we help him take care of it? There shouldn't be much difference between taking it myself and having others take it up."

Without saying a word, Ji Heng took the prosthesis and put it on Xu Tianhe's leg.
