He Yuxing held the head in her arms, looking pitifully at Cen Yu.

Without turning his head, Cen Yu and Jiang Min arrived at his restaurant... Cen Yu glanced at the restaurant's kitchen, and Jiang Min generously stepped aside, "Want to take a look?"

Cen Yu lifted her foot and walked towards the back kitchen.

The middle-aged man he had seen before was indeed lying on the ground, next to a pig that Jiang Min had taken out of the freezer and the original man.

The pig was enormous, and the man, curled up, was stuffed whole into its emptied belly.

"The unscrupulous factory mentioned in the newspaper," Cen Yu glanced at the pig and the man, "is it related to this?"

“Who knows?” Jiang Min leaned against the stainless steel countertop in the kitchen. “That guy probably meant it when he said this shop sells substandard meat.”

I just don't know how the boss turned into meat himself.

Jiang Min took out a rolled cigarette from his pocket and tossed one to Cen Yu. "What do you think?" He took out a match, lit the cigarette, and tossed the match to Cen Yu as well. "That leader said they were all fooled by the people in District One."

He looked at the withered man on the ground with his still-good eye. "So they were all fooled by this guy from District One?" He pulled the photo out of his pocket.

There were only three people in the photo. It was said that the one from District 1 had a face that was so unremarkable that Jiang Min thought it was probably fake.

"How could they possibly be fooled?" Jiang Min wondered, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

He couldn't understand why people in District One would benefit from deceiving this group of "lowly people".

“She said this person turned them all into monsters.” Cen Yu lit a cigarette and tossed the match to Jiang Min. “There’s no reason for the mutation zone to suddenly triple in size.”

Even after so many years since the apocalypse, while the mutated areas may expand, it's rare for them to triple in size so rapidly in such a short period.

He recalled the map the monkey had taken out: "After the mutation zone expanded three times, the digital zone and the wilderness were completely separated by the mutation zone."

Cen Yu squatted down to look at the pig and the man who had merged into one. The man was curled up like a baby, and ridiculously, he had a rotten apple in his mouth. Fresh fruit was a rare commodity in the apocalypse, and no one would waste it here.

“A moat.” Cen Yu looked up at Jiang Min. “The expanded mutated zone has become their moat.”

These outcasts in the wilderness have no choice but to pass through this mutated area, which has expanded to three sizes, to get closer to the digital zone; there is no way around it.

Even the nobles' servants in the digital zone who wanted to escape had to consider whether they could cross the mutation zone.

There was one more thing that Cen Yu felt he could reveal to Jiang Min.

He squatted down and beckoned to Jiang Min, signaling him to come over.

Jiang Min, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, looked at him and said, "Do you think I'm a dog, that I'll come running at the slightest beckoning?"

He said that, but his actions betrayed him as he walked up to Cen Yu and squatted down. "What is it?" he asked, looking at Cen Yu.

Cen Yu, with a cigarette between his fingers, leaned closer to Jiang Min, covered his mouth with one hand, and whispered in his ear—

“Everything within the mutation zone can be seen by the nobles in Zone One.”

At first, Jiang Min felt a little awkward when Cen Yu leaned closer, but after hearing his words, his expression changed slightly, though he quickly composed himself. "Are you sure?"

“I’m sure,” Cen Yu said. “I have my own channels.”

The system alerted him as soon as he entered the mutated zone that, just like in Qingshan Town, every move here could be observed. They were indeed putting on a large-scale live show for the amusement of the nobles of Zone One.

After considering this fact, Cen Yu felt that it was not impossible for them to understand what the head meant when it said that they had all been deceived.

In addition, the mutation zone suddenly expanded three times.

“The big shots are probably just bored,” Cen Yu said.

He didn't try to hide his words, nor did he care whether the audience could hear them. "Watching the commoners struggle in the mutated zone is more interesting to them."

Most of those in the "Degenerate Zone" escaped from the "Digital Zone".

The original owner didn't have many memories of the digital district, probably because he was too young at the time, but there were some fragments related to the high-rise buildings, where the order before the apocalypse was still maintained, or rather, it was more prosperous than before the apocalypse.

According to the head, the man must have used some means to transform them into monsters and then placed them in the mutation zone.

The shopping street was perfectly normal before; they only ended up like this because they listened to him.

Perhaps the two newspaper reports are clues.

Is it related to the so-called total solar eclipse and the sudden outbreak of mass hysteria? Or is the meat from the black factory the key to turning them into monsters?

Cen Yu looked at the motionless man on the ground and said to Jiang Min, "I'll wait one more day."

It wasn't just to wait for the team members who couldn't leave, but also to see if the dead man would come back to life and if they could get any useful information from him.

Jiang Min nodded. "The second thing."

He made a gesture with the number 2 in his hand, "That's why I called you in alone."

Cen Yu looked at Jiang Min, signaling him to speak his mind.

“Some time ago, someone posted a mission,” Jiang Min said. “It said that a level two mutant angel had appeared, and the angel was inside the tower as a reward. In addition to a large reward, it also offered permanent residency in Zone 1.”

“My team members didn’t know about this. A day later, I discovered that the mission had already been taken by someone else.” Jiang Min looked at Cen Yu. “Is this related to you?”

Cen Yu hadn't expected the plot to get back on track in this way.
