Just then, a hand in white clothes and white gloves reached out from the side and brushed past him.
Chen Mingyao was startled; he had been distracted and hadn't paid attention to his surroundings.
He dared not move, fearing that the fluctuations of his supernatural power would alert the other party.
The white-gloved hand pulled off the black cloth, revealing a healthy and strong man sitting in a chair.
The man was about 30 years old. His hands and feet were tied to a chair, and his mouth was taped shut, so he could only make muffled noises.
The man looked at him and made whimpering pleading sounds, his eyes pleading with him, or rather, with the person behind him.
"You're quite impressive for not getting infected." A sinister voice came from behind, its tone laced with mocking pleasure.
However, the hot breath he exhaled while speaking made Chen Mingyao very uncomfortable.
Chen Mingyao felt a little guilty for not working hard enough. His superpowers weren't up to par, and he hadn't expected that his perception was actually real, allowing him to sense the surrounding environment, smells, and emotions.
The man in white gloves turned to grab a medicine box from the table next to him, and Chen Mingyao took the opportunity to slip away to the side.
He could see the white-gloved man's face clearly. He was a blond, blue-eyed man, but his facial features were more like those of a Chinese person. It was hard to tell his age, but he was probably no more than 30.
He was wearing black-rimmed glasses and a white coat, making him look quite like a doctor.
The "doctor" opened his medicine box, took out a syringe, and walked to the cage.
The person in the cage saw the "doctor" approaching from outside and was terrified, trying to back away. However, he was tied to a chair and could not move, so he could only desperately pray helplessly.
But his mouth was also covered, so he could only make muffled sounds and plead with his eyes.
Chen Mingyao even saw the man inside lose control of his bladder after the "doctor" opened the door and went in, but he still watched in despair as the green tube was injected into his body.
"Be quiet, or they might come looking for you," the doctor said calmly, removing the needle.
I walked out of the cage, fastened the lock, put the syringe back in the medicine box, and then observed the situation inside the cage.
Chen Mingyao agreed to keep a close eye on the man in the cage. Suddenly, the man twitched a few times, his eyes rolled back, and saliva secreted from his mouth flowed down his chin.
Chen Mingyao felt that the viscous liquid was abnormal, and on the man's arm where the drug was injected, the blood vessels gradually turned blue from the injection site, and the skin also began to turn pale.
As the person inside gradually lowered their head and remained motionless as if they had lost all life, suddenly, the person abruptly raised their head, shook violently, and began to roar at the "doctor" outside the cage.
Chen Mingyao could clearly see that the other person's eyes had turned red, and his behavior was very much like that of a zombie.
"Hahaha... It's done... It's done! It's done!!!"
The "doctor" suddenly burst into maniacal laughter as he looked at the man in the iron cage, startling Chen Mingyao who was standing nearby.
Suddenly, Chen Mingyao felt someone patting his shoulder, and his consciousness was instantly pulled back.
"Young man, why are you sleeping here?" came an aunt's voice.
Chen Mingyao's previous actions looked no different from when he was asleep, which is why the aunt misunderstood.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Mingyao noticed that the person was wearing a sun hat and thick gloves, indicating that they were an employee of the plum orchard.
"I was feeling a little dizzy, so I came over to rest for a while, but I ended up falling asleep," Chen Mingyao said politely, without batting an eye.
She got up and was about to leave when she said, "I've rested enough, so I'll be going now. Sorry to bother you."
Chen Mingyao left just like that. The aunt looked at his departing figure with some doubt, "It's strange that he doesn't sleep in the bed he has."
After Chen Mingyao was released, he contacted Lin Hu and went to find him.
Lin Hu remained at the end of the line. When he saw Chen Mingyao return, he made no sound and kept a certain distance from the people in front of him.
"How's it going?" Li Li asked in a low voice, while reaching out to pluck a plum from a nearby tree.
"Brother Lin, there's definitely something wrong with this island," Chen Mingyao whispered, waving a small stick around aimlessly.
The two seemed to be chatting casually out of boredom, which didn't attract the attention of anyone else.
"Tell me more about it," Lin Hu said casually, looking at the plums he had just picked. He put them in his backpack, intending to plant them on the island when he got back.
"I detected an underground passage. Inside the passage is a research lab that looks like a prison. People are researching zombies and turning living people into zombies," Chen Mingyao whispered to Lin Hu, after secretly observing the surroundings and speaking to the crew-cut man walking at the front.
Although Lin Hu had expected it, he was still somewhat angry when he heard it with his own ears.
I never imagined the Hong family would be so heartless, using their own compatriots as experiments. Many of them are still struggling to make ends meet.
After leaving these islands, everyone finally had hope for life, but he was about to shatter it.
It seems that Bright Island recruited a lot of people before, probably to research the zombie virus. But why were they researching this and risking being discovered to release it to Azure Dragon Island?
Lin Hu was completely baffled.
“And I just saw the zombie they developed. That zombie was different from the others; its eyes were red.” Chen Mingyao added, “It might be some new type of zombie virus.”
Lin Hu was puzzled again, his eyebrows furrowing together, when a hand suddenly touched his brow.
Lin Hu looked up in confusion and saw that it was Duan Linzhou.
"What are you thinking about? Your eyebrows are almost furrowed together."
Lin Hu then realized that Chen Mingyao had already walked ahead, together with Chen Xing.
