It started raining.

A warning box popped up on the terminal. Xie Xuan closed the pop-up window, and the sounds outside the door suddenly disappeared.

Xie Xuan turned to look at Xie Yuheng, who was slowly standing up and sending a message on his terminal.

The message was not sent to Xie Xuan, but to Xie Shu.

"action"

There are only two words, and I don’t even bother to add punctuation.

Xie Shu, who had been guarding the door, did not take any action immediately, but replied: "Are you safe?"

Xie Yuheng: "Xie Xuan is here, she won't watch me die."

Xie Shu turned his head to look at Xie Xuan, then nodded slightly to Xie Yuheng, opened the door and went out.

Xie Xuan felt completely baffled. Could it be that when Xie Yuheng told her not to get in the way, he meant for her to stay in the room and wait?

Xie Xuan thought so and asked Xie Yuheng the same question.

Xie Yuheng replied generously, "That's right."

Xie Xuan: …

"Can he handle it alone?" Xie Xuan didn't know which Shu was the one in Xie Shu's name, so she could only refer to him as "he".

Xie Yuheng: "Yes."

Ten seconds later, his next message came: "If he can't solve it, I hope you can, otherwise we will die here."

Xie Xuan felt that Xie Yuheng might have some serious illness.

But as Xie Yuheng said, knowing too much would not do Xie Xuan any good. She was just an ordinary employee who wanted to take a break, not a savior who wanted to save the world.

Both the ecological organization and Noah Technology are unshakable behemoths to her. Her best choice now is to listen to Xie Yuheng's arrangements and wait here quietly.

Xie Xuan thought for a moment and replied to Xie Yuheng: "Is he your bodyguard? Is he also a psychic?"

Xie Yuheng: "He's not a bodyguard, he's a person with special abilities."

Xie Xuan felt that the person who could follow someone of Xie Yuheng's status to do such a dangerous thing alone, and the person Xie Yuheng trusted so much, must be at least an A-level person.

Xie Xuan: "A-level psychic?"

Xie Yuheng: "No, B-level."

Xie Xuan turned around in surprise and looked at Xie Yuheng, who was also looking at her at that moment. After the two pairs of similar brown-black eyes met briefly in the dim room, Xie Yuheng lowered his head first.

Xie Yuheng: "It's just that the ability is quite special."

Xie Xuan wanted to ask how special this ability must be to make a big shot like Xie Yuheng, whose every move would affect the entire District 6, feel so confident.

But she always kept in mind the truth that "curiosity kills the cat" in front of Xie Yuheng.

Xie Xuan replied perfunctorily: "So that's how it is."

The room fell silent again, making the noise outside the door seem even more desolate.

The knocking sound they had heard just now was now shrill and amidst the uncomfortable screams, more and more voices belonging to different people began to join in.

Xie Xuan was a little uneasy, especially after knowing that Xie Shu was only a B-level mutant.

Although Xie Xuan knew that the level division was not absolute, just like the water mixed in her, a B-level mutant, could fill a bathtub.

But since Xie Xuan didn't know the strength of the experimental subject imprisoned here, nor did she know the strength of Xie Shu, she felt that her worries were necessary.

"You really don't need my help?"

Xie Yuheng: "No need."

The second half of Xie Yuheng’s sentence that he didn’t utter was “You have to stay here and protect me.”

The vast majority of Noah Technology's main business deals with spores, mutants, and infection incidents, but as the person in charge of Noah Technology, he is more like an ordinary human being than a mutant.

More than a decade ago, more than half of Noah Technology's R&D funds were not invested in artificial intelligence as they are now, but in human beings themselves.

Before the advent of the Wasteland Age, gene editing and human cloning had always been a controversial issue.

After the arrival of the wasteland era, humans lived under the huge shadow brought by a tiny spore. Especially after the emergence of people with special abilities, research on humans themselves was almost completely condoned.

Noah Technologies launched its gene editing project more than 30 years ago, and its most successful work was the child of Xie Yuheng, the then chairman of Noah Technologies and his wife.

It is obvious that Xie Yuheng's parents are two complete lunatics.

Unfortunately, the gene editing project did not make any progress after Xie Yuheng was born, so Noah Technologies began to turn to the human cloning project.

This series of projects with humans as the research subjects are jointly led by Noah Technology and ecological organizations.

It was not until there was a sudden reshuffle within the ecological organization and Xie Yuheng's parents died unexpectedly shortly afterwards that all the projects left behind came to an end, and these past events came to an end.

But in a sense, the experiment is not over yet.

Xie Yuheng glanced sideways at Xie Xuan who was standing next to him and sneered inwardly.

There is actually no difference between them, they are all just defective products.

Xie Yuheng didn't let Xie Xuan help, so Xie Xuan had no choice but to stay there obediently.

After a while, Xie Xuan suddenly felt that the smell of decay in the room seemed to be getting stronger.

She had been in this room for half an hour and should have been accustomed to the smell.

Xie Xuan directly turned on the lighting on her terminal, adjusted the brightness to the lowest, and looked for anything wrong in the room.

Xie Yuheng's five senses were better than those of ordinary people, and he could now smell the increasingly strong stench of decay.

Xie Yuheng and Xie Shu chose this room because all the rooms on the fourteenth floor were filled with abandoned experimental subjects, and only the patient in this room was completely decayed.

The only thing I didn't expect was that even a completely rotten experimental subject could still cause some unexpected problems.

Xie Yuheng consciously took a few steps back. After all, compared with Xie Shu or Xie Xuan, his fighting ability was almost negligible.

With the light on, Xie Xuan could now see clearly the structure of the room that she had not been able to see before.

This ward was no different from an ordinary single room. In the middle of the room stood a 1.2-meter single iron bed, with a bedside table beside the bed and some medical equipment on the other side. The curtains were drawn. The only difference was a pool of rusty dirt on the bed and the restraints that had lost their binding force.

Xie Xuan's eyes swept across the bed, and just as they moved to the medical equipment beside the bed, they suddenly realized something and quickly moved their eyes back.

The dirt that was only covering the center of the bed has now spread to the edge of the bed. Under Xie Xuan's gaze, the stain began to drip down the edge of the bed like some kind of sticky liquid.

Xie Xuan even had the urge to curse.

She knew how to deal with the infected and parasitized within the area, but she had no idea how to deal with the infected outside the area.
