The whole world was shrouded in this eerie glow. On the horizon, there were also some bright and strange lights that jumped and flickered in the night sky, emitting a mysterious light.
Meanwhile, the two little ones were sleeping soundly under the deep red moonlight. No matter how Xiahe and Xiaohua called to them, they did not wake up. If the two little ones were not still breathing, Xiahe would have suspected that they had passed away.
Xiao Hua said, "It seems they've started to mutate, but I don't know if the two little ones are just undergoing benign mutations or..."
Xiao Hua didn't say the rest aloud, and Xia He wasn't sure either, since there was no such thing as animal mutation in her previous life. Xia He sat by the bed all night, watching the two little ones, feeling extremely nervous. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Hua went to open the door and found that it was Xiao Lin, so she let him in.
When Xiao Lin came in, he found Xia He sitting blankly to the side watching the two little ones. He wanted to go over and comfort her, but he didn't know how to say it. A thousand words could not compare to the silent companionship.
Just then, there was another knock on the door. Xiao Lin got up to check and found Professor Wang and Li Chunhua from across the hall, so he opened the door.
It was Granny Li who spoke up: "Why is it you who opened the door? Where is Xia? Is she alright? Someone was knocking on your door just now. They sounded quite anxious, saying something like someone had a fever. Do you want to go check on her?"
Xiao Lin said in a deep voice, "Xia He is fine. She is watching over the two little ones. You all saw the night sky tonight. A red moon appeared. It was the influence of the red moon that caused the people in the base to mutate. It will be fine after tonight. Don't worry. Xia He and I mutated a long time ago, so we are fine for now."
Professor Wang said, "I've already told you, you old woman, but you still don't believe me and insist on knocking on the door."
After saying that, Professor Wang and Li Chunhua turned around and went back to their room, still muttering, "I was just concerned about Xia."
Xiao Lin turned around, went back to his room to look at Xia He, and then left.
Upon inspecting the base, they found some mutants with fevers, rapid breathing, and expressions of pain. At this time, many people with the same symptoms had already been brought to the medical station.
Xiao Lin said, "Everyone, don't worry. These people with fevers are undergoing mutation. The stronger the mutation, the greater the impact on the human body. No one can help them except themselves."
A series of groans and low sighs came from the ward, followed by more people fainting and collapsing. Their body temperatures then began to rise. Xiao Lin ordered that these mutants be taken to a room and that people be sent to closely monitor their condition.
Xia He sat in her room, her feelings complicated. The appearance of the Red Moon had triggered a new mutation, and the people in the base were beginning to experience this change.
She looked at the two sleeping babies, a sense of worry about the future welling up inside her.
The situation in the ward grew increasingly chaotic. Some of the mutants experienced rising body temperatures, rapid breathing, and unusual changes in their bodies. Some emanated a strange light, while others' eyes became distorted, as if they contained some unknown power.
The crimson moonlight grew stronger, tinging the only blackness in the sky with a reddish hue. Under its glow, the world seemed to grow even more eerie.
Xia He sensed an invisible force subtly changing everything around her.
Suddenly, Xia He felt a faint power surging out of her body, and she was startled.
The spiritual energy within her body surged and circulated throughout her entire being, emanating a faint glow. Xiao Hua exclaimed in surprise, "It's spiritual energy! There's spiritual energy appearing in the air!"
