That day, Team 011 completed their final mining mission. Thanks to their efforts, all of C-098's black phosphorus ore had been mined.
After the official handover, they will withdraw from C-098.
Fu Qin stored most of the black phosphorus ore into the space earrings and prepared to leave.
Zhou Xu left yesterday. Before leaving, he asked Fu Qin if he wanted to take his starship, but Fu Qin refused.
Since the task given to her was to leave in a swagger, she might as well carry it out to the end.
Fu Qin prepared to drive Bai Hao directly back to Liefeng Star.
Isn't this eye-catching enough?
Thinking of this, Fu Qin walked towards the base, ready to say hello to Ye Mingluo and leave.
But when Fu Qin saw Ye Mingluo, the other party's face was not very good.
For someone who never forgets to crack jokes even in the most serious situations to have such a serious expression, something big must have happened.
"What happened?" Fu Qin asked immediately.
"The Zerg mutants are starting to move."
Ye Mingluo said as he forwarded the latest message to Fu Qin.
Fu Qin turned on his laptop and read through the text at a glance, his expression gradually becoming serious.
According to the latest news, a large group of people covered their faces and released some kind of light pink gas in densely populated areas of various galaxies in the Federation. Thousands of people in each place inhaled the gas.
A very small number of them fainted on the spot, while the others are currently normal.
Federal police quickly stepped in to try to apprehend those responsible for releasing the gas.
But this group of people are extremely ferocious, and they can even recover quickly after being injured. It is initially suspected that they are Zerg mutants who have been hiding for a long time.
In an effort to apprehend this group, numerous police officers pursued and intercepted them, but were unable to capture them. In the end, only one person was apprehended. This was because the drop point he chose was near the Federal Military Academy, where many cadets were present. The sturdy cadets immediately pounced on him and pinned him down.
The only suspect caught was quickly taken for genetic screening, and after being confirmed to be a Zerg mutant, he was immediately sent to a nearby military base for custody.
But before the military had the chance to interrogate him, this newly emerged mutant refused to cooperate like the previous ones. He seemed to be under some kind of control, losing the ability to think and no longer speaking.
Since they won't tell us, the military can only investigate the gas itself.
The gas that has dissipated cannot be collected again, but the people who inhaled the gas are still there.
All of them were sent for examination.
The final inspection results were surprising.
For the very few who fell into a coma, their genes had changed, and they showed the initial signs of being invaded by Zerg genes.
It is currently suspected that the source of their infection is those unknown gases.
As for those who did not show any abnormalities, no problems have been found yet, but for safety reasons they have all been kept under solitary custody.
At the end of the message was a list of all the people who inhaled the unknown gas, including tens of thousands of names.
Fu Qin rowed from the beginning to the bottom, but couldn't reach the bottom for a long time.
The more she turned, the darker her expression became.
Until she saw a familiar name——
White Ya.
Fu Qin's hand paused as it slid down, and his first reaction was that he had encountered a person with the same name.
But the next moment, she saw the identity information column at the back.
A first-year student at the Federal Military Academy.
Not only him, there are also a large number of military academy students listed before and after his name.
Fu Qin later realized the content of the message. The only mutant who was caught was captured by the cadets because he released gas near the Federal Military Academy.
Near the military academy...
Fu Qin couldn't help but clench his fists, then turned around and walked out quickly.
"General, where are you going?" Ye Mingluo shouted behind her.
"Return to Wind Hunter Star!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Qin summoned Bai Hao and flew into the sky.
Bai Hao sped up all the way back and arrived at Liefeng Star in just over an hour.
On the way, Fu Qin and Mo Lan had already confirmed the location where Bai Ya was being guarded, and they flew towards there as soon as they arrived at Liefeng Star.
So that day, many people in Liefeng Star City saw Bai Hao's figure flash by and thought they were dazzled.
When Fu Qin arrived at the Liefengxing detention center, Moran had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Fu Qin jumped off Bai Hao and came to Mo Lan, "Where is the person being held?"
Moran's expression was also very heavy.
Hundreds of federal military academy students were affected this time, and it was not easy for him as the principal.
"I'll take you there." Moran said, leading Fu Qin inside.
Everyone in the detention center knew the two men and did not stop them.
The two of them had a smooth journey.
Under Moran's guidance, Fu Qin followed him into the elevator and went all the way down to the eighth floor underground.
Those imprisoned here are all those on Wind Hunter Star who were affected by the gas release incident.
They might have been shopping or having a meal at the time.
However, because they inhaled unknown gases, they may mutate at any time. Now they can only be imprisoned in the dark underground, with an uncertain future.
Maybe tomorrow they will be infected like those who were unconscious before, or maybe they will never mutate.
Fu Qin looked at the small rooms in front of him and frowned, "Why are they locked up here?"
At least for now, they are just ordinary people.
Fu Qin didn't understand why they were kept in such harsh conditions.
Moran sighed helplessly upon hearing this, "To prevent them from suddenly transforming."
Not long ago, a person in the fifth galaxy fell into a coma due to inhaling gas. During the process of genetic infection, he mutated and directly lost his human characteristics and turned into a Zerg.
Many people were injured while dealing with it.
The military then issued a unified order to lock all victims of the gas incident deep underground.
In this way, even if they suddenly transform into Zerg, they will be restricted by the land and stuck underground and unable to move, minimizing the possible danger.
After Moran finished his explanation, Fu Qin fell silent.
Intellectually, she knew that the military's decision was correct, but emotionally she still couldn't accept it.
The two continued to walk deeper.
There was a person sitting or lying in every single room they passed.
When it comes to quilts, some look unfamiliar, while others look familiar.
Some of them might even have greeted her not long ago.
They had a bright future and should not be locked up here and losing their lives like this.
Moran finally stopped at the end of the corridor. He pointed to the last private room in the corridor and said, "He's right there. Go there by yourself. I won't go there."
Fu Qin nodded, took a deep breath, and walked towards the deepest part of the corridor.
The scene in the last single room gradually unfolded before Fuqin's eyes.
Bai Ya sat on the floor, leaning against the bed, staring blankly at the only light source in the room, and didn't even notice Fu Qin's footsteps.
Fu Qin looked at him silently for a while, then called out, "Bai Ya."
Bai Ya's ears moved, he turned his head slowly, and the moment he saw Fu Qin, he subconsciously wanted to hide himself.
But the room was empty. Apart from a bed, where could one hide?
"Teacher..." Bai Ya said hesitantly, his voice choked.
He never imagined that God would play such a trick on him.
He had finally improved his physical fitness through persistent exercise, had teammates, and even recently learned that the teacher he admired was the person he admired the most.
God knows how happy he is.
Bai Ya was so excited during those days that he could hardly sleep. He opened the chat box with Fu Qin several times, typed for a long time and then deleted everything. He thought over and over again, and finally just sent a subtle welcome and then smiled foolishly for a long time.
Obviously everything is so beautiful...
How did it become like this?
He was told that he might be infected with Zerg genes and was forced to be locked up here, wearing shackles that restricted his mental power and unable to see anyone except at mealtimes.
He has been sitting here all day.
But the scary thing is that Bai Ya has no idea how long he will be imprisoned.
The fear of becoming a Zerg mutant always hung over him.
"Teacher, will I become a mutant?" Bai Ya couldn't help but ask.
Fu Qin shook his head: "Sorry, I don't know."
"Teacher, you don't have to apologize. I should be the one saying sorry. I'm sorry for disappointing you." As he said this, Bai Ya showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
This smile deeply hurt Fu Qin's heart.
"It's not your fault, and I'm not disappointed." Fu Qin replied.
"Really..." Bai Ya said, standing up shakily. "Although I have said this many times, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to say it again, so I want to say it again in front of you——"
Bai Ya bowed deeply in the direction of Fu Qin, "Thank you, thank you very much."
When he looked up again, his eyes were red.
Fu Qin had a sullen face and said nothing, but her lowered fists were clenched so tightly that they were trembling slightly.
"There's one more thing I'd like to ask you." Bai Ya said again.
Fu Qin: "You say."
Bai Ya opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and said resolutely: "If I... really mutate, please kill me!"
Hearing this, Fu Qin's eyelashes trembled.
Bai Ya's voice was filled with tears: "I still have many goals to complete, and I don't want to die yet. But, I don't want to hurt anyone..."
"So, please."
This time, Fu Qin was silent for a long time before finally spitting out one word through gritted teeth: "Okay."
Moran was waiting with a heavy heart. As he paced back and forth, he saw Fu Qin coming back.
Her face looked even worse than before.
Seeing this, Moran didn't ask anything and followed Fu Qin back.
The two walked into the elevator in silence.
After the elevator door closed, Fu Qin looked at his reflection in the metal door frame and said word by word with strong determination, "I will kill them!"
The "they" that Fu Qin was referring to were precisely those Zerg mutants who were hiding behind the scenes and causing all this.
She rarely had such intense negative emotions, but this group of people really aroused Fuqin's anger.
Whenever she thought of the last scene that Fu Qin saw when she left, the fire in her heart could not be quenched.
Bai Ya stood near the corridor, watching Fu Qin walk away. There was only despair in his eyes. He no longer looked like the young man who was full of vigor and vitality a few months ago when he said he wanted to be a person like Fu Qin.
The culprit behind all this is the Zerg mutants.
Moran rarely saw Fu Qin in such a state. He held Fu Qin's hand and saved her palm from being scratched by her fingernails.
"If possible, I also want to kill them all. But the mutants are hiding in the dark, and we don't even know how many there are. So we can't be impulsive now, we have to lure them out first." Moran advised.
Fu Qin looked at him steadily, nodded, and suppressed the murderous desire in his heart.
