Yu Nian held Han Chen's arm and said, "It's okay, I'll be careful."
Han Chen looked at the young man scrutinizingly, and finally stepped back and stood behind Yu Nian.
The light outside the house was blocked by the figures of several people, and only the outline of a huge monster could be vaguely seen in the dark room.
"Dad locked himself up." The boy said softly when he saw Yu Nian standing at the door without moving.
"Can't you turn on the lights inside?"
"If I turn on the light, Dad will get really mad..."
Suddenly, a loud roar accompanied by a fishy smell came to the face, as if the thing inside was warning Yu Nian not to go in.
With the dim light, Yu Nian could barely see that there was a grizzly bear locked inside. It was huge in size, and its scarlet eyes were like a pair of warning lights in the darkness.
The grizzly bear banged on the railings in the isolation room and became very violent when he found that he could not get out.
Yu Zhaozhao: "How long has he been like this?"
"It just became like this three days ago..."
"Is it the same with other people?"
The boy nodded and then shook his head: "The others turned into beasts earlier than Dad, and it was Dad who locked them up."
Lin Mu said: "So now, are you the only one in the hospital?"
The boy nodded: "I'm the only one here. My dad told me not to let anyone else in."
Yu Zhaozhao frowned, "I suspect there's something inside the hospital that caused this. Otherwise, why aren't any of those orcs outside the hospital harmed, if they're only separated by a wall?"
"In that case, won't Han Chen also be affected?" Yu Nian looked at Han Chen worriedly.
Han Chen slowly shook his head: "I don't feel any discomfort."
Yu Zhaozhao said, "We should go out first. If we don't know what's going on here, we might end up in the same situation again."
Yu Nian agreed, "Admiral Pei should be arriving soon. Let's have the technicians investigate then."
The four of them left the hospital with the teenager, making sure the door was locked before leaving.
Pei Ling and his men arrived a long time ago. At this moment, a temporary shelter had been built outside the hospital, and two treatment machines were being assembled.
After Yu Nian found Pei Ling, he briefly told him the situation in the hospital.
Pei Ling frowned, "Okay, I'll send a small team in to investigate."
“When will this device be available?”
"It will take about two hours."
Yu Nian realized that he could not help for the time being, and saw the young man squatting under a tree in the distance, a thin and small boy who looked like an abandoned little animal.
In the hot weather, the whole earth was like a dry steamer. Yu Nian felt hot all over and sweated a lot after just walking for a while.
Lu Yan squatted under a big tree with his knees hugged, staring at the ground as if trying to find a hole.
Until a shadow fell over him.
The boy's ears moved, he just smelled the fresh fragrance of his sister.
He raised his head, his expression bright and lively: "Your Highness, you are here."
Yu Nian nodded and squatted on the ground like him, "Why are you here alone?"
Lu Yan stammered, "I don't know where to go..."
He wanted to go to the hospital and stay with his father, but he was afraid that if he stayed there any longer, he would become a mindless beast like those orcs.
Yu Nian asked again: "Did your father say anything else to you before? Or was there anything unusual at that time?"
Lu Yan's face wrinkled as he pondered deeply, "Something strange seems to have happened a week ago. The doctor in the hospital suddenly turned into a beast..."
"What happened next? Didn't you contact the police?"
Lu Yan looked confused: "I don't know, but later on, there were fewer and fewer people in the hospital, and I didn't know where they went."
"Then why do you stay in the hospital all the time?" Pei Ling walked towards them, his tall figure getting closer and closer, his expressionless and cold face bringing invisible pressure.
Lu Yan subconsciously hid behind Yu Nian, "No, no."
Pei Ling stood in front of him, knelt on one knee, and bent down to look him in the eye. "Lu Yan, you are the only living orc in the hospital right now. Only you know the situation clearly."
"The surveillance in the hospital was damaged a week ago and the technicians are unable to retrieve it, but I have asked them to check the surveillance for nearly a month." Pei Ling said to Yu Nian.
"You were right to evacuate the hospital. The cause of the unusual situation in the hospital is still under investigation, and Han Chen also needs to be secretly observed."
The shadows of the trees were mottled on the ground, hiding the two small figures.
From a distance, one is small and the other seems to be small as well.
Pei Ling's gaze fell on Yu Nian's cheek. Her originally fair and delicate skin was sunburned and had red marks. Her whole face was flushed, which actually made her look a bit cute.
"The hem of your skirt is dirty, stop squatting on the ground."
Yu Nian followed the man's gaze and looked at the hem of her skirt. Because she was squatting, the slightly longer hem of her skirt dragged on the ground and was covered in dust, making it look a little gray.
She patted the hem of her skirt and said, "It's okay. It's clean now."
"How long does Han Chen need to be observed?"
"According to what Lu Yan just said, he needs to be observed for at least seven days. If there are no abnormalities during these seven days, he can be released."
Yu Nian and Pei Ling walked towards the hovercraft.
"Your Highness, don't worry about Lu Yan. I will have someone take good care of him." The man walked beside Yu Nian and said when he saw her look of worry.
Yu Nian looked down at the ground, feeling as if he had overlooked something.
"National Master...I don't think I have seen Bai Yuheng since the disaster victims started causing trouble." Yu Nian said to Pei Ling with a worried look on his face.
"Your Highness, are you sure that you haven't seen the Imperial Master since the disaster victims caused trouble?" Pei Ling confirmed with her.
Yu Nian nodded. "At that time, a few of us wanted to come to the hospital first to talk to the dean about helping the disaster victims. But for some reason, the victims suddenly lost control of their emotions... If Han Chen hadn't pulled me out of the crowd, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here safely."
Pei Ling remained calm and said calmly, "I will send someone to find the Imperial Preceptor. Your Highness, don't worry too much. The Imperial Preceptor is a male orc and has strong self-defense capabilities."
Although the level of Bai Yuheng's supernatural powers is unclear, he is definitely not a simple character to be a favorite in the eyes of His Majesty.
Late at night, the sky is dotted with stars.
Yu Nian sat on the bench outside the house, looking up at the moon.
She had just come out of the observation room. Han Chen was in good condition and there was nothing abnormal. She could only pray that nothing would happen to Han Chen.
"Your Highness, the wind picked up during the night."
At some point, Pei Ling also came out of the house. He stood behind Yu Nian and saw that she was wearing a thin skirt. He spoke.
"It's okay, General Pei, I don't feel very cold."
Pei Ling nodded, "Your Highness, please take the hovercraft back to the hotel. The accommodation conditions here are difficult, and there is no need for Your Highness to stay here and suffer."
