After hearing Yan Shi recount what happened before Zhong Ling was bitten, Quan Hou became very concerned and called over a few people to sit together and have hot pot.
"What do you think?" Quan Hou asked as he put meat into the boiling pot.
Yan Shi: So you really do love hot pot.
“Like aliens, mutants also have strange abilities. According to what I just said, they are nothing more than abilities like manipulation or face-changing.” Han Yan said as he cracked a raw egg into the bowl.
Han Yan came on behalf of the Han family, along with the younger generation of the Sang family, who are skilled in forming formations, the Jin family, who control metal, and the Jiang family, who control water: Sang Gui, Jin Xi, and Jiang Liuer.
Yan Shi wanted to ask this boy named Sang Gui who he was to Sang Zhi, but then thought better of it.
"It's tricky, but I'd be quite happy if such a tricky guy appeared in my lab."
"Reaping the rewards without sowing depends on luck."
"Yeah, if you don't produce something, who can catch them?"
"If you go out more, you're sure to run into them."
"Only someone with a mental problem would go out wandering around at a time like this."
"What happened to your friend afterward?"
"It's okay now, I pulled through."
"Didn't it awaken as an alien?"
"No, I don't see any changes."
"No, not all aliens are the kind that change in appearance like you. There are also mutations in places that cannot be seen. Many people are unaware that they are aliens."
"Then how do we distinguish between aliens and ordinary people?" Yan Shi asked.
"There's only one thing: aliens aren't afraid of the zombie virus. As long as you're unharmed after being bitten, you're an alien."
Yan Shi looked at Zhuang Zhao.
"But who would deliberately let a zombie bite them after escaping death? Only someone with a screw loose would do that. Some less obvious abilities are naturally overlooked, so the number of aliens should be much higher than currently registered."
"It would be great if aliens could be detected."
"That would create a lot more helplessness, so things are fine as they are now."
Yan Shi listened intently to their conversation, but didn't join in, focusing instead on eating hotpot. He actually heard a lot of things he didn't know before.
After everyone finished eating, they dispersed. Quan Hou leaned back in his chair like a lord, watching Yan Shi and Zhuang Zhao clean up the mess.
Have you thought about the pebble thing?
"Okay, I'll put you in charge without revealing my identity."
"This is quite a big project. Also, keep an eye on your friend for me. According to them, your friend just hasn't discovered his own abilities yet."
"Yes, in this world, everyone wants to have the ability to protect themselves."
"By the way, how about we take Zhong Ling for a full body check-up? I'm always worried about potential side effects."
"Then remember to give me a blood sample and a hair sample."
At the same time, in the dormitory of Squad 404
Why did you get out of bed? Go back to bed.
Even if someone is recovering from a serious illness, they are still allowed to get out of bed and walk around.
"I don't care, you have to stay in bed for a few days and you're not allowed to leave the bed except to eat or go to the toilet."
"But my bones are rusty."
"It's not important. After all, I've been through a near-death experience, so I need to recover my strength first."
"Oh, Yan Shi just called and said he wanted to take Zhong Ling for a physical examination. He asked if Zhong Ling wanted to go and asked if they could set a time."
"Of course I'll go, the sooner the better."
"No need, I know my own body well." Zhong Ling was quite resistant to the physical examination.
"You know your own body best, so what's the point of having a doctor? Let's go tomorrow, I'll go with you."
Yun Nuo was assigned by Quan Hou to be the driver, and he drove everyone to the hospital that Yan Shi had gone to, and also to pick up the blood sample for Quan Hou.
"There seems to be no problem now; I'm even healthier than my peers."
“I knew it.”
"Alright, alright, let's go out for dinner later to celebrate that you're all okay."
"Then I want to eat barbecue."
"Yan Shi, you guys are coming with us for barbecue. We've troubled you several times already."
"Okay, where should we eat?"
I'll call you when I've decided.
We ultimately didn't get to have the barbecue.
Yun Nuo rushed to deliver Zhong Ling's blood sample to Quan Hou, who examined it as quickly as possible. Yan Shi was looking at her wardrobe, pondering which clothes to wear to eat barbecue, when she received a call from Quan Hou.
"Your friend's blood contains a highly toxic substance, which is currently dangerous to all living things. You should remind her not to let her blood come into contact with other people."
"Is it that scary? Is it a side effect?"
"Perhaps, there is another possibility: the venomous blood is also a kind of alien ability."
"It's a classic case of inflicting eight hundred wounds on the enemy while losing a thousand of your own. Won't this blood harm her personally?"
"Since the person involved hasn't noticed anything unusual, there shouldn't be a problem."
Yan Shi hurriedly made a phone call to relay what Quan Hou had said to them.
"Yun Nuo will drive to pick you up in a bit. Quan Hou needs to check on Zhong Ling's condition again."
Having long heard of the powerful Marquis, everyone was timid when it came to actually meeting him. In the end, they decided to go together to bolster their courage.
Yan Shi wanted to know the result as soon as possible, but she was worried that Zhuang Zhao would not want to run with her again. She thought that there was no danger if Zhuang Zhao stayed at home and did not let anyone in. Unexpectedly, as soon as she said the words, Zhuang Zhao looked down, pursed her lips, and lowered her head, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
It's just like a dog that thinks you're going to take it out to play, but then you go out yourself, leaving it to guard the house.
The first thought that popped into Yan Shi's mind was: Why not get a dog? We'd definitely get along well.
"I was just worried you wouldn't want to go through all that trouble anymore." Yan Shi handed him his coat and put gloves and a hat on him.
I used to take care of my relatives' kids like this when I was little, so I guess I have quite a talent for being an older sister.
