Could it be...
Xiao Yi suddenly had a bold idea, yet he hesitated. The unrest at the base was only targeting "small players" like Feng Tian. Xiao Yi had no contact with the people who truly controlled the base. They were like invisible hands, seemingly hiding in the shadows, bringing order to the chaos. But they seemed nowhere to be found. For the first time, Xiao Yi felt lost.
Looking at Xiao Yi's expression, Fan Zun roughly guessed what he was thinking, and his voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees: "Perhaps your guess is right. But guessing can only go so far. Trying to spy may harm them."
Xiao Yi didn't say anything, but his eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. He clearly still hadn't given up on the urge to spy. However, due to the current situation, he could only suppress this thought for the time being. He turned to talk about the base they had broken into last time: "How's the progress on that matter? What did Wu Jie say?"
Fan Zun shook his head: "I don't know, but the information we retrieved has been taken away. The specific situation is still unclear."
As the two were discussing all the details of the past two weeks, Xiao Yi felt a vibration on his wrist. He looked down and saw a message from Yu Wei. It contained only two words: "Return soon."
Xiao Yi couldn't help but panic. Yu Wei had always been a very considerate girl, and she had never spoken to him in such a tone. Her voice was full of dissatisfaction and disappointment, which surprised him greatly. He suddenly stood up, turned to Fan Zun, and said in a firm tone: "I'll wait for your news. I need to go back now. Something might have happened."
An ominous premonition welled up in his heart, as if a dark cloud was hanging over his head. He hurriedly left the room and rushed home. Along the way, Yu Wei's cold words and indifferent expression kept echoing in his mind. He kept telling himself that this was just his speculation. He needed to calm down and return immediately.
As he hurried downstairs, Xiao Yi keenly sensed an unusual atmosphere. He felt a tenseness in his heart, as if foreshadowing that something bad was about to happen. However, when he hurried back upstairs, he found that there were no signs of fighting at the door of his house. Everything seemed very calm.
He felt a little confused. After opening the door, Yu Wei was waiting for him anxiously. Her face was filled with a trace of tension and worry that he had never seen before, which made Xiao Yi feel uneasy. He hurried into the room, looked at Yu Wei and asked, "Wei'er, what happened? What's wrong with you?"
Yu Wei looked up at him, her face full of anxiety, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Yi, the sample you brought back last time began to split in the petri dish."
Xiao Yi's face darkened, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart, but he couldn't tell why. He asked doubtfully: "Explain clearly, what do you mean?"
Yu Wei's lips trembled. "Teacher had this idea before. The virus is still in the process of being cultivated. Then there is a possibility that the zombies will be completely eliminated. But now, once the division occurs, it can be said to be endless and uncontrollable. How can the human reproduction speed catch up with the speed of cell reproduction? Before long, not only will the remaining humans become mindless monsters, but all animals will also mutate one after another. It may really be the end."
Xiao Yi stepped forward and hugged Yu Wei's trembling body, his voice firm: "No, ancient books say that among the most poisonous, there must be an antidote within five steps. All things must be mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Supernatural powers cannot appear out of thin air. Many things cannot be explained by pure science now. Therefore, theoretical things, in their current form, cannot be fully trusted. Your discovery is very important. But I suggest you don't scare yourself first. Does Mr. Yuan know the current situation?"
Yu Wei shook her head, her lips already bloodless: "Not yet, it's too terrible. I don't know how to say it."
"Every discovery is precious, no matter good or bad. Change your clothes, I will take you to see Mr. Yuan. Go ahead." Xiao Yi comforted Yu Wei, but his heart was actually beating fast.
Yu Wei quickly put on warm clothes and went out with Xiao Yi. Mr. Yuan was considered a key protected personnel, so he did not live in the dormitory at this time, but directly lived in the office. Heating measures were also arranged inside.
Although the person guarding the door didn't recognize Xiao Yi, he did know Yu Wei. He obviously knew Yu Wei's identity and status, so he went up to inform Yuan Lao without hesitation. Soon after, he smoothly let the two in.
Yu Wei had walked this corridor countless times, yet now she felt incredibly heavy and uneasy. Her heartbeat quickened, and an indescribable tension welled up within her. She knew that this time, as she entered this corridor, she would face unprecedented challenges and dangers.
Xiao Yi held Yu Wei's hand tightly, his eyes gleaming with determination. He knew clearly that in this apocalyptic world, there was no absolute safety. They were already in danger and had to remain calm and vigilant. He walked forward step by step, each step appearing steady and powerful.
When they finally reached the end of the corridor, they saw Elder Yuan standing at the door waiting for them. His face was filled with worry and seriousness, and he obviously had a bad premonition. He looked at the two of them, took a deep breath, and then said, "You are here after all, follow me." Yu Wei and Xiao Yi opened the door and walked into the sterile disinfection room on the side. A gust of wind with the smell of disinfectant blew from all directions, and the two of them successfully met Elder Yuan. Elder Yuan looked at the tightly wrapped box in Yu Wei's hand, his hands trembling a little: "Split? Right?"
