Infected at the start and exiled to the City of Strange Species.
Octopus extended its tentacles: What is this? Let's suck it!
Goat extended its hooves: What is this? Let's suck ...
The entire Federal Security District was shocked by the contamination incident at the Federal University and was placed on high alert, with everyone inside the university feeling extremely threatened.
Wang Li, however, became enraged at the report that was presented to him. He slammed his fist on the papers on the table, his voice practically spitting fire: "Is this the result you've given me?"
He shook the documents in his hand, chuckled, and read aloud from the paper: "After investigation and analysis, there are three reasons for this matter. First, the alien city harbors wolfish ambitions and attempts to return to the Federation?"
"Secondly, the military region personnel were negligent in their liaison duties."
"Third, there is a problem with the backend of the military equipment setting program."
The subordinates below bowed their heads, enduring the venomous spray from their new boss. Wang Li threw a sheet of paper in front of him: "Don't you want to look at what you're saying for yourself? All I see are eight big words: avoiding the important and shirking responsibility!"
Wang Li couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the contents of the report. The scar below his right eye was pulled, making it look like a closed eye: "You said that after being abandoned by the Federation in that remote corner for so many years, who knows how many people are left in this alien city? Is it the mastermind behind it?"
"Then tell me, how did those monsters infiltrate the Federal University network and time it all so they could play it during Li Deya's analysis and appreciation class?"
Wang Li couldn't sit still any longer. He got up, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, walked around the desk to his subordinate, and stared intently at him: "Are you trying to say that Li Deya acted as an intermediary to clear obstacles, connect those monsters, and that the items went through the checkpoints of District 11, the military and government inspections, and were placed in front of the students?"
The subordinate was forcibly pushed in front of Wang Li to deliver the report. He was scolded until his face turned ashen, but he didn't dare to say a word. Although he knew in his heart that the authenticity of the report could not withstand further scrutiny.
But this matter involved the interests of too many people, so he could only wait until Wang Li's break and cautiously say, "This is the order from above."
He closed his eyes and waited, but unexpectedly, Wang Li didn't start ranting. Instead, he remained silent for a moment before storming out the door, looking like he was looking for a fight.
His subordinates were terrified and immediately grabbed him, their faces filled with panic: "Captain, don't be impulsive! This matter has already been decided!"
Wang Li glanced at him impatiently, pointing at the documents on the ground with his cigarette-smoking finger: "I know, take it. I've already signed it. Can you let your captain, who hasn't slept for three days, go home now?"
The subordinate then awkwardly withdrew his hand, saying, "Please, go ahead."

The city of alien species is bustling with activity today. All the high-level species living here, whether they are I species who live alone in their rooms all year round or E species who love to visit each other, are working together to repair the public facilities.
It took two and a half days just to clean out those disgusting barnacles. The remaining half day, witnessed by Gu Li, was spent... sealing the area.
The streets that had been damaged by barnacles and fighting were sealed off, and most of the alien species crowded into the west of the city, near the church.
Gu Li leaned against the window of the ward, watching Levi, still bearing the marks on his body, hurriedly exchange another bundle of seals from Cecil and leave. Suddenly, he called out to him, "Levi!"
Levi, who was almost turning into octopus cheese, looked over when he heard the sound. His tentacles danced excitedly. He stretched out his tentacles and pulled her directly from the first floor to the second floor: "Miss, you're finally awake! How are you feeling now? Cecil said you're fine, but the King said you should rest in bed for a few more days before going to see him."
Gu Li raised his hand in front of him, looking at his pale, almost transparent skin, and then placed his hand over the holes in Levi's body. After a long while, nothing happened.
She silently withdrew her hand.
Levi, the entire octopus, was in a panic. His countless tentacles were at a loss, and he even performed a tap dance in front of Gu Li: "Uh, I think Wang is right. You are too weak right now and need to rest. You'll be fine once you recover... Uh, are you alright?"
His voice was extremely cautious.
Gu Li wanted to laugh a little, so she deliberately pursed her lips to tease him, when she suddenly heard footsteps behind her, accompanied by the sound of a cane tapping on the ground, gradually approaching.
“Miss Gu Li, I think I told you ten minutes ago that you need to rest in bed for the time being.”
Gu Li's face froze, and he scurried back to bed. "Sorry, Levi!"
Eric, unusually, wasn't wearing his glamorous tuxedo today, but rather a well-tailored black tuxedo. He looked at Levi with a very stern gaze: "And you, Levi, Shi Qing and the others are getting impatient. Don't try to get the young lady to chat with you while you're working!"
Gu Li scratched his head and reached out to tug at Eric's cane: "...I was the one who started chatting with Levi first. It's so boring lying here."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the giant octopus by the window climbed out and escaped.
Eric stared at her for a moment, then suddenly sighed and tapped her chest with his white-gloved fingers: "Do you know that if it weren't for... even if they found you, you would be dead?"
Gu Li sat obediently and listened to the instruction, her eyes following his fingers as they moved left and right. How amazing! Why did Eric's goat hoof have five fingers instead of two when he wore gloves?
"Cecil went to great lengths to repair your body and is currently resting. The King needs you to follow him and learn how to properly use your power."
Gu Li's spirits instantly plummeted. She tried to find Cecil at noon, but couldn't find her anywhere. Was it because of her?
She lay back down on the bed and pulled the covers up, her voice muffled: "I understand, Eric. I'll get some rest and not let Cecil's efforts go to waste."
Eric hesitated, raising his cane, then sighed and stepped forward, placing one hand on her forehead. His long, rectangular eyes, filtered through Gu Li's eyes, held a hint of melancholy as he gazed at her. "I'm sorry, Miss," he said, "I'm just a little worried. You're the first human to volunteer to join us, and everyone likes you very much. I hope you can be more careful."
When the king brought her to the church, the girl, almost completely soaked in blood, had nearly stopped breathing, and the bloody holes in her chest and back were horrifying...
Manually removing the parasite from the body was no less than a form of torture.
They were shocked by the girl's strength and courage, and at the same time felt sorry for the pain she had suffered.
She brought new life back to this monster city that was gradually falling into a state of desolation.
Eric thought calmly, then leaned forward slightly and extended a hand: "I suggested to the King that you begin your course earlier, and the King just agreed. Please come with me, Miss."
