Thirty minutes later.

A man with a crew cut and wearing a uniform walked through the crowd, led by the patrolman who had just left. Behind him were not only a group of people wearing clothes of the same color but slightly different styles, but also three people wearing white coats and masks.

After someone recognized the uniforms they were wearing, which were only worn by the official team of the base, the arrogance of the people standing by calmed down a little. At least they were not like the people guarding the patrol team just now, refusing to let them leave and surrounding the place so tightly that no one could get out.

A path was cleared through the crowd for the procession to pass.

"What's going on? Why did the people here say that someone in the base has turned into a zombie?" The man came over and asked. When he said this, he subconsciously looked around and finally his eyes fell on the patrol team leader standing next to him.

When the patrol captain saw this man, he felt like he had seen a savior sent by God. If no one else had been sent to him, he would have been killed by the eyes of the people around him.

"It's like this, sir. Our team was patrolling the market just now and found something unusual here, so we came to check it out. The man on the ground suddenly went crazy while buying something in the market, and almost caused casualties. Fortunately, a superpower came out and subdued him, and the situation was prevented from getting worse. However, some people said that this person was infected with the zombie virus, and we don't know if it's true. Our patrol team can't handle this matter, so we can only send someone to report it to you."

While the man and the patrol captain understood the situation, the men in white coats took out a number of tools of unknown purpose from the box without any delay, and surrounded the tied man on the ground to check something.

As for the other people in uniform, they ran out to maintain order at the scene and prevent them from getting close to the people on the ground and affecting the work of the research institute's staff.

The man noticed the rope binding technique on the man on the ground. It looked like he was a trained person. He asked, "Where is the psychic who subdued this man now?"

"This... I really didn't pay much attention. Sir, I'll help you look for it, maybe the person hasn't left yet." After hearing his words, the patrol team leader looked around the crowd again and again, and finally locked his eyes on Lin Yang and Ruan Ning who were standing outside the crowd, holding things.

"Sir, we found them. They are the two people at ten o'clock. The people on the ground went crazy and rushed towards them. The man on the right is a superpower, and he was the one who subdued the people." The patrol captain wanted to complain that it was this man who didn't let them take the people on the ground away, and he also said something that aroused public anger, so their patrol team was detained here by a group of survivors. But when he thought about the posture of him kicking people just now, and the superpowers he used, the patrol captain didn't dare to say a word.

After all, this person is a supernatural being. He just said a few words, and the adults may not necessarily support ordinary people like them.

Even if the adults support their patrol team now, if this superpower wants to cause trouble for him in the future, won't he have no choice but to surrender? So the patrol team leader thought about it and felt that there was no need to offend a superpower for such a thing.

The man just glanced at the two people and found nothing unusual, so he didn't ask any more questions and continued to understand the other situations.

After understanding the whole story, the man shouted to the noisy crowd, "Everyone, be quiet! There is no point in us arguing here. Whether this person has turned into a zombie or not still needs our professionals to check. Have you seen the three researchers I brought with me? They are all specialized in zombie research and will definitely be able to find out whether this person is infected with the zombie virus."

This incident of a person suspected of being infected with the zombie virus sneaking into the base, regardless of the final result, if it is not handled properly, the reputation of their Yancheng base in H Province, and even in the whole of China, will be completely ruined. Who would come to an unsafe place?

All a man can do is to temporarily calm the people around him, prevent them from causing more panic, and try to minimize the impact of this incident.

Not long after, the oldest one with graying temples among the three white coats the man brought over stood up, took off his mask and said, "After preliminary examination, the man in front of us is indeed mutating into a zombie. We need to take his body and blood samples to the research institute for testing to find out how the zombie virus in his body came from."

When the man heard what the institute staff said, he couldn't help but show a trace of surprise on his face. The people he brought with him were all powerful people in the institute. Especially the old man in front of him, he was an important figure in the institute. If it wasn't an emergency and there were no other free people in the institute, the institute would never let him out.

The man didn't let anyone tell him the result alone, because he was afraid of causing greater misunderstanding. Who could have thought that the result would be the worst one? It was too late to stop it. Now everyone heard what the old man in the white coat said.

People around began to whisper——

"So it really is a zombie?! I thought someone was deliberately causing panic nearby."

"The guy on the ground just now came to my stall to buy something. Luckily he didn't turn into a zombie at that time. Otherwise, I would have been finished too." A man patted his chest and said fearfully.

"I really don't know what the people in the base do for a living! Why did they only discover this now?"

"Shouldn't we be worried about the safety of the base? Everyone must be checked for zombie virus infection before entering the base, so how did this person on the ground get in?"

"Maybe the base has been taken over by zombies without our knowledge. Then we will all die here."

"I came to Yancheng Base from Lin Province with my friends with great difficulty. I don't want to die here."

“…”

Earlier, some people present had doubts after hearing what Lin Yang said. But not everyone believed it completely. After all, the man lying on the ground had not completely turned into a zombie, but his skin color was a little abnormal, so they all kept a reserved attitude and managed to stay calm.

But now that I've heard the researchers from the research institute say so, there's no doubt that the person on the ground is a zombie.

As soon as the news came out, the surrounding area was in an uproar. Anger and panic spread among the crowd, and the market was in chaos.

"Don't panic! Things are definitely not what you think. Our base will definitely send someone to handle it. Please give us some time. We will definitely get to the bottom of the whole matter as soon as possible."

Sure enough, the people in these bases all use the same rhetoric from top to bottom. Can't they come up with something new and novel? Lin Yang shook his head after hearing this. He stood aside and shouted at the crowd without thinking too much, "How long do you mean by as soon as possible? What if you find out the truth in one month, two months, or half a year? Do we have to wait that long too?"

Ruan Ning glanced at Lin Yang, who was changing his voice and acting as an extra in the crowd. He usually looked a bit careless, but he was unexpectedly so reliable at the critical moment. This move was simply a thumbs up for him!

The man, trapped in the crowd and in a dilemma, was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

He didn't dare to say it in front of everyone, fearing that he would be held responsible if nothing was found. But if he said nothing now, it would be very troublesome, so he could only say conservatively, "One week. Give us about a week."

"No, this time is too long. If something really goes wrong inside the base, if we wait for a week, our bodies might have become cold." This time, before Lin Yang could respond, someone else objected.

Seeing that everyone was dissatisfied, the man discussed his opinions with the old man from the scientific research institute next to him, and finally said, "Three days. Three days at most, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

After hearing what he said, the people around him were slightly satisfied and stopped talking. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that everyone was not satisfied with the handling of the incident at the base. Many people had a trace of worry on their faces.

The man on the ground was taken away by the people from the research institute. After they left, the crowd that had gathered together slowly dispersed.

However, after such a big incident, most people were not in the mood to shop at the market anymore. One by one, they left the market. The originally bustling crowd in the market was reduced by half in less than ten minutes. Even some merchants left without making any money.

Lin Yang, Ruan Ning and the others certainly would not stay here any longer, and walked towards the villa with the things they bought.
