"What? Explain yourself! Who died? How did they all die?"

Jiang Ruan heard the news as soon as she got off the car, and her first thought was that it was about those infected people who were locked up and quarantined.

"Those infected people, and some doctors too—in short, the base is practically a pile of corpses!"

As the captain, Du Chong has completely lost his former prestige and imposing presence.

His legs were trembling, and his mouth was shaking as if it were not under his control, making his words unclear. Dongyang, on the other hand, was more composed.

"Here's what happened. We found a doctor as required and isolated the patients. But then, one of the patients rioted. Taking advantage of his superpowers, he broke through the barrier and rushed out."

"He would beat and verbally abuse the doctors who came to treat him, which led to many doctors being infected, and many antibiotics were spilled because of him."

Dongyang's words were clear and logical, unlike Du Chong's at all, which made Jiang Ruan look at him in a new light.

"What did you say? The medicine was spilled? The doctor was infected too? This is outrageous! Who told him to act so recklessly!"

Jiang Yan jumped out of the car angrily and strode towards the inside.

Jiang Ruan stopped him, saying, "Dr. Jiang, although you are eager to save lives, you can't disregard your own safety by not wearing any protective equipment. It might be dangerous."

Jiang Yan looked up at Jiang Ruan, his tone softening considerably, "We're not going to rescue anyone. I'll close the door first. If more people come out later, we might get infected too."

Jiang Ruan looked behind her following his words. She hadn't noticed that the base door was open because she had been interrupted by Du Chong and the other man.

But why is it open? Since it's so dangerous, Du Chong can't be foolish. Could it be that he forgot?

Before Jiang Ruan could figure anything out, she saw Jiang Yan, who had returned, running towards her like he was on fire.

"Quick, get on the bus! This outbreak is very serious. Let's get on the bus first!"

Without a word, he shoved the people who were talking into the car and slammed the door shut.

Right behind him, hordes of infected people ran over. They had mutated and no longer resembled humans; they were more like zombies.

"How could it get so serious in such a short time? Where are your doctors? How could they..." Jiang Ruan's words caught in her throat because she saw that among the group of mutated people who were grabbing at their hands and rushing towards them, more than a dozen of them were wearing white coats.

"Du Chong, is this how you manage your territory? Did you even protect them properly? How did they all get infected, and to this extent?"

Jiang Ruan was instantly enraged, pointing angrily at Du Chong and complaining about his incompetence.

"I, I, I didn't expect it either. I just needed to pee and went to the toilet. When I came out, it was already like this. I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. This... sigh."

Du Chong lowered his head in remorse, looking as listless as a wilted eggplant.

"Where are Zhang Yang and the others? Where are they?" Gu An sat in the car, driven by Dong Yang, and he was happy to be at ease.

"Ah, I, I don't know. They said they had something to do and left. I don't know if they deserted their posts. If they were here, things definitely wouldn't have turned out this way."

Seeing that Du Chong was still trying to smear Xia Xia and the others, Jiang Ruan couldn't hold back any longer and struck him with a stick.

"If you're a real man, stop your whining. Is this the time to shirk responsibility? Let me tell you, if anything happens to them, I'll never forgive you!"

Jiang Ruan hates powerless shouts the most, but now, she has no other choice.

The cell phone signal was intermittent and she couldn't connect anymore, which made her a little anxious.

This is a feeling I've never had since the apocalypse.

"It's alright, Mingyue will protect them. Besides, Huayi is still here, so nothing will happen. Don't worry."

Gu An comforted him, saying he hadn't expected such a thing to happen after they'd only been gone for half a day.

He knew about Jiang Ruan's relationship with An Xia, so he understood his concerns.

"That's all we can do. I hope they're alright."

Jiang Ruan sighed softly and sat down.

She was a bit too impulsive just now. Perhaps things aren't as bad as she thinks. She just doesn't want to lose Anxia, ​​her good friend.

She's already lost once; she can't afford to lose it again.

"Bang bang bang..."

The people outside were banging on the glass. Dongyang didn't drive too fast, only about 20 miles per hour. Unexpectedly, the seemingly slow-moving crowd immediately caught up.

Struggling to rush in.

"Judging from their appearance, it's probably not just simple plague; it's likely a combination of other viral infections. A simple plague infection wouldn't cause such severe facial ulceration."

Jiang Yan pressed his face against the car window, carefully observing the crowd outside who were about to climb onto the roof of the car.

The ulcers on their faces were quite severe, with a lot of the sores dripping onto the car window. The sores were bright red and smelled foul, making people feel nauseous.

"In that case, things might be a bit tricky!"

Jiang Ruan said.

"It's quite tricky. It seems we need more observation and experimental comparisons to get results before we can prescribe the right treatment."

Jiang Yan pondered how to respond.

He suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked up. "Special abilities? Are there any people with healing abilities? Without the help of someone with such abilities, this virus would be even more difficult to deal with."

Jiang Ruan was taken aback and pointed to herself, "Currently, I'm the only one!"

She had tried the healing technique, but it wasn't very effective, and once the virus broke through, the backlash was even more severe, so it was better not to use it.

At the time, she felt that her healing ability was somewhat useless. How could it only heal ordinary injuries, but not even this viral infection?

"You have healing abilities, that's great! We don't need to observe or experiment, which saves a lot of steps. We can heal you completely now."

Jiang Yan became excited, forcing a smile onto his dry face.

"You mean my ability can heal them? But I've tried it, I used it right away, and the effect was minimal, so I'm considering looking for other methods."

Jiang Yan shook his head after hearing this. "That's not how it works. The method is wrong. Directly treating people won't bring out your special abilities. More often than not, you'll need to rely on other things."

"For example, blood..."

Gu An's expression changed slightly as she stared at him with a fierce look in her eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't get agitated. I'm not going to draw her blood. I haven't finished speaking yet. Don't get agitated."

Jiang Yan was clearly excited, almost forgetting that Gu An was still around, so he couldn't say anything carelessly.
