The whole world is experiencing a prolonged bloodbath.

This night was destined to be a restless night.

The next morning.

It was daybreak.

The shooting had stopped for some time.

All the survivors were re-arranged into wards, one per room.

The news here has reached the administrative building.

The Federal Research Institute urgently dispatched personnel from the institute to investigate the sudden mutation of alien species in the four inpatient buildings.

Xie Xu was among the investigation team.

Tu Ran was sleeping, leaning back in the lounge chair.

She is too tired.

She switched shifts with Ding Naiqing at twelve o'clock last night, and she watched some federal news. It was almost two o'clock when she fell asleep.

She got up at four in the morning to deal with the aliens. She only slept for two hours.

When Xie Xu came to this floor, he saw her strange sleeping posture at a glance.

She held the helmet in her arms, her hair was messy like a bird's nest, her head was tilted back, her mouth was slightly open, and she was the type who slept with her eyes open, with part of the whites of her eyes exposed.

There is no image at all.

Xie Xu turned his eyes away.

When Ding Naiqing saw the investigation team, he quickly walked over to them.

They nodded to each other as a greeting.

No one is in the mood for small talk right now, so let’s get straight to the point.

"What are the casualties like this morning?"

A researcher who was recording data on a communicator asked.

Two other researchers, including Xie Xu, went to every ward to conduct observations.

"There were originally 26 survivors on this floor. Eleven of them mutated early this morning, and they infected seven others in succession. A total of 18 people were infected, and all were shot to death. Now there are eight people alive. There were six guards, and three of them died in the line of duty." Ding Naiqing said in a heavy voice.

These numbers are horrific.

However, the recorder's next words were even more tragic.

"The situation on your floor is the best so far. Many floors were completely wiped out except for the pioneers. In some floors, even the pioneers were infected. Even if there were survivors, there were no more than five."

Tu Ran frowned in her sleep and opened her eyes.

She heard these people when they came in, but she was too sleepy to think about it.

But these data surprised her so much that her sleepiness disappeared immediately.

She stood up holding the gun and casually pulled her hair a few times, then she saw Xie Xu coming.

The two looked at each other, and Tu Ran looked away expressionlessly.

She walked over to Ding Naiqing and looked at the recorder. "Have you found out the reason? Why did so many people mutate at four o'clock?"

The researcher said: "According to current research, the first peak of the disease after infection with the virus is within one hour of infection, and the second peak is about thirty hours. Four o'clock this morning is exactly the time of their second attack cycle."

"The second peak has passed, so do we still need to keep these people locked up?"

This is something she is very concerned about.

She would have to guard him until they locked him up.

The researcher shook his head. "It's not confirmed yet."

Tu Ran frowned. The efficiency of their research institute was too low. With such advanced technology, they couldn’t even figure out a virus?

Xie Xu's voice came from behind.

"If no one mutates at 8 pm today, you can release them."

"Are you sure?" Tu Ran turned around and looked at him.

Xie Xu nodded. "The research institute has re-evaluated the longest incubation period of the virus, which is 48 hours. If it hasn't mutated after 48 hours, it's enough to prove that there are no mutated viruses in the body."

Tu Ran calculated the time in her mind in an instant.

Twelve hours, she only needed to wait another twelve hours before she was liberated.

She didn't need to smell the sickening smell of blood anymore.

Her mood suddenly improved.

After asking a few more questions, the investigation team left.

Tu Ran watched them leave and sat back in the lounge chair.

"Sister Ran, go back to the lounge and sleep. They shouldn't have any more problems. I can handle it." Ding Naiqing looked at her and said.

Her difficult sleeping posture made Ding Naiqing feel very guilty.

Tu Ran thought about it and felt that the situation in the building had temporarily stabilized and she was indeed no longer needed.

"Then I'll go back to sleep." Tu Ran stood up, picked up his helmet, hung the machine gun on his shoulder, and walked towards the lounge at the end of the corridor.

Zhao Yan was also lying in the lounge, along with a guard.

Tu Ran walked past them and headed towards her own little corner.

Trying to relax herself as much as possible, Tu Ran fell asleep quickly.

I slept very soundly. There was no gunshot outside, or even in the entire building.

It can be seen that all humans infected with the virus have completed the mutation by early this morning.

The whole world became miraculously quiet and peaceful.

Tu Ran slept for six hours.

Get up and replace Ding Naiqing.

Stop by for dinner.

The meal served was still nutrient solution, with a piece of protein biscuit for each person.

Bland and tasteless.

But it is nutritious.

The pioneers would carry large quantities of these compressed protein biscuits every time they traveled to the Threshold.

With the blessing of the chicken monster's supernatural powers, Tu Ran can now taste some wonderful flavors when eating this kind of protein compressed biscuits.

Ding Naiqing, who was having a hard time swallowing the food, was particularly surprised. It was the first time he saw someone eating protein biscuits with such enjoyment.

Until eight o'clock in the evening, all four buildings were peaceful.

The federal government has notified us of the news.

All survivors have been cleared of infection and are free to leave the inpatient department.

The survivors who were not seriously injured were taken home directly by their families, while some of those who were seriously injured were transferred to the medical department for treatment in the nutrition cabin.

Meng Fanchen and his two colleagues also returned to their respective posts.

Before leaving, he stopped Tu Ran and thanked her specially. He would always remember her life-saving grace.

Tu Ran didn't care, she was just doing it.

If anything happened to him, she would be punished too.

Just like Ding Naiqing.

The doctor he was in charge of was bitten to death by the alien species, so he was scolded by Li Wenchuan and his salary was fined.

Tu Ran didn't care whether Li Wenchuan scolded her or not, but deducting her salary was absolutely unacceptable.

In general, she saved Meng Fanchen's life, and Meng Fanchen admired her even more. He would tell everyone that she was his goddess, the kind who had saved her life.

Tu Ran naturally didn't know all this.

She just knew she could go home.

It's time to take a bath.

As soon as the notice came, Tu Ran left with his gun.

She felt refreshed after breathing the long-lost fresh air outside.

She first went back to the administrative building to return her equipment, changed into everyday clothes, took the tram, got off at Liming Station, and returned to her community.

After entering the house, Tu Ran took off her clothes first and went into the bathroom to take a comfortable bath.

The warm water soaked her body. Although it was not as comfortable as soaking in the nutrition cabin, it was enough to relieve her tense body that had been tense for two days.

In the bathtub, she boredly flipped through today's news.

It was exactly as she expected.

The federal government has announced that the spread of the virus has been brought under control, all humans infected with the virus have been cleared, and the virus will no longer spread, so the public is asked to travel with confidence.

It was also said that the antigen had been isolated and the corresponding vaccine had been developed, so even if one was infected, the vaccine could be injected in time and the disease would not mutate.

"Develop a vaccine?" Tu Ran swiped the screen and laughed out loud.

She doesn't believe it.

If a vaccine had been developed, the federal government would have given each of the survivors an injection when it allowed them to leave today.

After all, this group of survivors is the most dangerous group.

If the virus in their bodies is not cleared away, they will be the biggest source of infection.

Since there is a vaccine, why not ensure that the source of infection is eliminated first?

Tu Ran looked at these similar news and shook her head. This was the federal government's usual method.

Misleading the public through the media.

Who knows whether an effective vaccine will ever be produced?

Anyway, this batch of infectious alien species has been cleared out.

This batch of vaccines cannot be used.

No one knows whether it is true or not.

Tu Ran had a deep understanding of the darkness of this world from her original body's memories.

It has been a while since she came to this world. She has experienced a lot and gradually seen the true face of the Federation.

The life of a small person is not a life.

Her life doesn't matter.

The lives of all the pioneers are worth nothing.

The lives of ordinary citizens are even less important.

Even the lives of everyone in the executive department, medical department, and research institute are of no importance.

The federal government only cares about profit.

As long as it's profitable, the federal government will do whatever it takes to achieve it.

It's like creating a pioneer team to explore within the threshold.

The federal government doesn’t care how many pioneers die.

What they care about is how much valuable information the pioneers who come back alive bring back.

The only truly human beings in the entire federation are the chaebol families behind the federal government.

Those people in the upper class were beyond Tu Ran's reach no matter what.

She didn't even get a chance to see them.

She is just one of the countless humble ants struggling to survive in this world.

An ordinary one.

Tu Ran leaned her head back on the edge of the bathtub. She vaguely saw a cloud of mist on the pure white ceiling.

Behind the fog lies a picture of the future.

What's in the picture?

She tried hard to open her eyes wide, trying to see clearly.

But it's still a blurry mass.

The image lasted less than ten seconds before fading away.

Tu Ran withdrew her gaze.

Forget it, so what if she saw it? Apart from affecting her mood, it doesn’t seem to change anything.

Tu Ran stood up from the bathtub, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and left the bathroom.

She lay back on the bed in a spread-eagle position.

Still tired.

Although I slept for six hours in the morning, I was still very sleepy at this moment.

She wants to sleep.

But the communicator next to the pillow rang.

That communicator is used to contact Xie Xu.

Tu Ran turned on the screen and saw the latest message sent to her by Xie Xu.

"The alien's main body has been captured. Your guess is correct."

The infectious alien was hiding in the little girl's body.

"I'm curious how you knew that?" Xie Xu sent another message.

Tu Ran thought for a moment and typed a few words.

"I'm sure you'll find out in no time."

The capture trap of the Regaken State is just around the corner.

The number of alien species captured will be countless.

There will always be a few alien species that contain inner elixirs in their bodies.

They were sent to the research institute, where they were dismembered inch by inch for study.

It is only a matter of time before the inner elixir is discovered.

Xie Xu is a senior member of the research institute. Once the inner elixir is discovered, he will be one of the first people to know.

By torturing the alien species severely, we can definitely find out the purpose of the inner elixir.

Tu Ran had already anticipated that it wouldn't be too late that day.

Xie Xu didn't say anything else in response to her reply.

Maybe he thought she was just doing it perfunctorily.

Tu Ran didn't care about it, she just wanted to sleep.

But things don't always go as planned.

Just when I was about to fall asleep, the doorbell rang.

Tu Ran looked at the time. It was eleven o'clock in the evening.

Who would come to her house at this time? She simply put on a piece of clothing, took out the pistol from under the pillow, leaned against the door, and carefully observed through the peephole.

This is an old neighborhood, and Tu Ran and Xi Chunzhi have only lived here for less than a year. Neither of them has the time to install surveillance, so Tu Ran can only observe through the peephole.

The person who came was a woman, and the clothes she was wearing looked very familiar to Tu Ran.

On the first night she came into this world, the staff member who delivered the work communicator to her was wearing a black uniform like this and had a neatly combed hair.

Tu Ran also saw that she seemed to be holding something in her hand.

I guess he was sending her something.

Tu Ran put the gun on his back and opened the door.

"Hello, pioneer Tu Ran, this is a reward from the federal government for your outstanding performance on the Q4245 suspended electric rail."

Tu Ran looked down and saw two fruit baskets.

There are many kinds of fruits piled up inside.

Tu Ran could already vaguely smell the fragrance of the fruit.

These fruits are definitely not artificial!

"Didn't you reward me with a free opportunity to use the nutrition cabin?" Tu Ran asked uncertainly.

Could it be that it was sent to the wrong person?

If it is sent to the wrong person, she will be very sad.

Because she really wanted the two fruit baskets.

"You didn't make a mistake. The free use of the nutrition cabin was given to you by Xie Zhao, the commander of your pioneer team. These fruits were sent to you by the federal government."

That should be given to her.

Tu Ran immediately reached out to take it.

When the heavy weight of the fruits fell on her hands, Tu Ran finally realized that these were all for her.

Although fruits were insignificant to her in the past, since coming into this world, Tu Ran has deeply realized how hard it is to get fruits.

The reward of two full baskets of fruit can be said to be very generous.

After bringing the two baskets of fruit home, Tu Ran took out all the fruits from the baskets and placed them one by one on the table.

Apples were the most numerous, with only two pears and peaches in each basket, and the remaining dragon fruit, melon, etc. only had one, and there were three small boxes of various berries.

Overall it's quite filling.

Tu Ran picked up an apple and took a bite, then sorted the remaining fruits into categories.

In the original body's memory, Xi Chunzhi liked to eat melons.

Tu Ran found a bag, put two melons in it, and then picked out half of each fruit and put them in the bag.

She came to the door of Xi Chunzhi's house carrying the bag.

Tu Ran saw her home door password from her original body's memory.

After entering the password, Tu Ran pushed the door open and entered.

Head straight to the fridge.

When you open the refrigerator's freezer, you'll see two full rows of beer.

Xi Chunzhi loves drinking, drinking can make her mind calmer.

Tu Ran made some space and stuffed all the fruits in the bag into it.

Close the refrigerator door and walk away.

After going back and forth like this, she had almost finished eating the apple.

Tu Ran threw it into the trash can.

He put the remaining fruit in the refrigerator and lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
