Walking to the half-open door at the end of the corridor, Xie Xuan felt it again and pushed the door open only after making sure that there was no third psychic here.

But after pushing open the door, they were shocked by what they saw.

This is a large showroom.

Wherever the light can reach, there are transparent cube-shaped containers of different sizes, and the containers are filled with transparent liquid. Some containers are empty, but some containers still contain clumps of fungus.

Xie Xuan looked around. In this room of nearly 500 square meters, there were thousands of such containers stacked up, and at least a quarter of them contained containers of fungus strains.

This means there are thousands of discarded strains of bacteria here.

It was only then that Xie Xuan thought of a problem. The department in the Ecological Bureau that handles infection incidents is called the Containment Department. Previously, Xie Xuan had always thought that the bacteria were contained instead of being directly eliminated because most people with special abilities did not have such special abilities.

But if you really want to kill them on the spot, the problem can be solved by simply equipping everyone with a flamethrower with special superpowers.

The Ecological Bureau is intentionally storing bacterial strains, but why? Do they need so many strains just for experiments?

Xie Xuan chose to ask Chongming directly: "What are the bacteria collected by the Ecological Bureau used for?"

"Most of it is used to provide energy," Chongming said.

This was an answer Xie Xuan hadn't expected. "Can bacteria provide energy?"

"Essentially, bacteria are also living organisms. Although their activities differ from those of most organisms, the energy provided by their life activities, after proper conversion, can produce more energy than traditional biomass power generation methods."

Chongming said, "However, this technology is completely monopolized by the Sixth District authorities. Even the Ecological Bureau is only responsible for providing the bacterial strains."

He paused and continued, "But the bacteria here are obviously not used to provide energy. The remaining bacteria have all died or are about to die. They are probably used for experiments."

"That's right." A third person's voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Xie Xuan was startled and immediately turned towards the direction of the sound.

The light on the helmet followed, but when Xie Xuan saw the person coming in, he was stunned.

"Xiao Yu?"

I haven't seen him for over a month, and the young man in front of me looks a lot thinner. The last time I saw him, his eyes at least looked normal, but now they are covered with a layer of white film.

There was still a gentle smile on Xiao Yu's lips. His face was somewhat similar to Xiao Yao's, but his temperament was completely different.

"Do you know him?" Chongming asked.

"I kind of know him," Xie Xuan said. "Xiao Yao's younger brother, Xiao Yu. I saw him in the domain the last time I was involved in the infection incident at the aquarium on 98th Street."

Xiao Yu nodded slightly and turned towards Chongming, but his eyes didn't wander. "Hello."

Chongming didn't answer, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm a staff member here," Xiao Yu replied. "Perhaps it would be more appropriate for me to ask you this."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Although this place has been abandoned since the outbreak, it's still nominally an asset under the name of the Ecological Organization. If you're going to be calculating, you should be considered trespassing."

Chongming sneered, "What is your purpose? You are the one who led us here, right?"

Xiao Yu nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I'm actually here to invite you two to visit the ecological organization."

Xie Xuan had a hunch that this was not a good thing.

Xiao Yu said, "My teacher is very interested in you, Xie Xuan, and would like to invite you over for a chat. In return, he will answer a few of your questions."

"Do we have the right to refuse?" Xie Xuan asked.

Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head, "Sorry, I'm afraid not."

"Is your teacher the owner of this laboratory?" Xie Xuan asked again.

Xiao Yu nodded, "This is my teacher's storage room. His laboratory is not here."

In other words, the teacher Xiao Yu mentioned has a lot of resources in the ecological organization, at least in the ecological organization of District 6, and should know the news about the control of the top leaders of District 6.

Xie Xuan had no choice but to accept the invitation letter that clearly stated "Hongmen Banquet", but on the bright side, they might get the information they wanted if they went.

"Let's go." Xie Xuan said.

Xiao Yu brought Xie Xuan and Chongming back to the elevator entrance. Although Xiao Yu was completely blind, he was able to swipe the card with his terminal next to the elevator door that seemed to be out of use very smoothly, as if he had been there for a long time.

Xie Xuan thought the elevator was broken, so it moved quietly downwards, stopped at the fourth floor below ground, and opened the door of the elevator car.

The elevator was also very clean, with no signs of infection.

After Xiao Yu walked in, he stretched out his hand to stop the elevator door and said, "Please come in."

Xie Xuan and Chongming walked in, "We have another companion on the first floor."

Xiao Yu nodded slightly, "I know, don't worry, you can enter the ecological organization's park together."

Xiao Yu was a little too easy to talk to, so easy that Xie Xuan felt a little uncomfortable.

Among the people in the ecological organizations she had come into contact with, there were almost no ones as gentle as Xiao Yu.

No, there is one. Eve, who died in District 13, was also such a gentle person.

The elevator ran smoothly. When it reached the first floor, Xie Xuan was asking Xiao Yu what kind of person his teacher was.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "If measured by ordinary standards, he wouldn't be considered a good person, but he's not a completely bad person either."

It was as if he hadn't said anything. When Xie Xuan walked out of the elevator, she saw Yu Wu looking at Xiao Yu warily.

"He is Xiao Yu, a member of the ecological organization. His teacher invited me to the ecological organization park to have a chat." Xie Xuan said.

Yu Wu’s first reaction was: “I can’t go.”

Xiao Yu smiled but said nothing. Chongming glanced at Xiao Yu and said to Yu Wu, "Xie Xuan has already agreed. We can go together."

Xiao Yu nodded. "Don't be nervous, everyone. My teacher doesn't like to conduct experiments on people with special abilities. At least you two will be safe."

Xie Xuan, who was excluded from the safe range:?

But Xiao Yu quickly added, "And Xie Xuan, you're a newly appointed creator, so of course the teacher won't do anything to you."

Xie Xuan held her forehead with her hand. When she heard Xiao Yu say this word in a normal and calm tone, she felt that it would be better for Xiao Yu's teacher to use her as an experiment.

Social death is always more terrifying than physical death. Xie Xuan finally understood this truth.

But no matter what, they finally got into Xiao Yu's car and drove into the ecological organization's headquarters in District 6 when the sky began to darken.
