Chapter 21 Civilized Sinner 21
The memory ends here.
Yan Nan's consciousness returned to the system space.
Yan Qiusi outside has already left.
[Any clues?] The system asked.
[Yes.] Yan Nan nodded, [It just answered some of my previous doubts, but whether we can get out of this predicament depends on whether Yuan Qing can come over quickly.]
Yan Nan was still in the small dark room of the Tokalama Chemical Factory. Yi Yitong had been locked up here by Yan Qiusi for three or four days without any water or food.
Except for a masked man in black who came to give him an injection of medicine at regular intervals.
The system has detected the drugs injected into the body and confirmed that they do not contain any nutrients required by normal humans. They are just things that control Yan Nan and prevent him from escaping.
In other words, Yan Nan has not been well fed these days, but all his physical indicators are still maintained at a normal level.
[He doesn't need to eat, won't die easily, and has a recovery ability that is different from that of ordinary people. These signs all indicate that Yan Nan is no longer a human. ]
[And all of this can be attributed to the mother virus that Yan Qiusi injected into him. ]
[So actually.] Yan Nan slowly concluded, [The original owner had never developed a virus vaccine, he himself was a huge virus serum bank.]
The scene in Yan Nan's mind about the night the base fell suddenly became clear. The ordinary delay agent in his pocket was only different from the others in that a small drop of blood accidentally fell on it when Yan Nan was injecting it, and it quietly seeped in through the gap.
[Whether it was the residents infected with the zombie plague in the base that he treated earlier, or Yan Huai who was later bitten to death by zombies, it was actually just because he used his own blood for treatment.]
[He has been draining his own blood to treat those strangers who hate him for no reason.]

Song Yanghui sat in the tent, listening to Yuan Qing's footsteps as he left outside.
The rain wasn't heavy, but it kept falling with no sign of stopping.
After seeing the strange man in the room that day, the man was mentally confused and said a lot of strange things, but Song Yanghui and Pan Yi, who were the parties involved in the incident, understood what he meant very quickly.
The man suddenly mutated in the middle of his words and ended up being transformed into a zombie, who was quickly dealt with by the two men.
Then Pan Yi's face turned pale when he heard those words. He hesitated again and again, and finally told the boss with trembling lips that he had kicked Yan Nan out of the car after the two of them had a quarrel.
"So where is Yan Nan now?" Song Yanghui's expression suddenly became extremely terrifying.
Pan Yi's face turned even paler. "We should be able to find him there. He is alone and without a weapon, so he definitely wouldn't dare to walk around..."
Before he could finish, Song Yanghui had already left the house. It didn't take him long to find a drivable car. After prying open the door, he got in. Pan Yi stumbled after him.
"Now, go back to where you separated." Song Yanghui sat in the passenger seat with his hands clasped around his chest, looking straight ahead.
Pan Yi didn't dare to delay and started the car immediately.
But when the two of them rushed back there, Yan Nan was no longer there. All that was left was a tattered white coat dropped on the ground.
The two of them searched the surroundings carefully, but could not find any trace of his departure.
Yuan Qing caught up with the main force on the third day after Yan Nan disappeared, but when he came back, he did not see Yan Nan in the team. After learning the whole story from Song Yanghui, he did not say much, but left with Yan Huai without hesitation.
The two men's car was parked not far away, and Song Yanghui could hear everything they did clearly while sitting in the tent.
The sound of tactical boots stepping on puddles, the sound of checking the car's engine to see if it was working properly, the sound of the two people talking in low voices, and the words spoken by the strange man kept appearing in his mind over and over again.
"Captain, can I take this with me?"
-
"I know how to treat people infected with the zombie virus."
-
"Can."
-
"Yan Nan, just capture Yan Nan and we'll be done. Just draw a little blood from Yan Nan..."
-
"Have you checked that place?"
-
"How should I know...haha, I was hiding down there and secretly saw it..."
-
"Ok, no problem at all."
-
"I was wrong... I was wrong... I am guilty, no, don't lock me up again..."
"Yes, I was the one who poisoned the water source of the base. I didn't want to... I don't want to die... No, you should just kill me... Let me die... Don't lock me up again."
"Yes... I saw it all. I saw the blood he drew from his arm."
"I... I'm really jealous of him... No... I just don't want to die..."
“I…ho ho ho…uh.
Various voices echoed in my mind.
Finally, when he heard the sound of Yuan Qing leaving, Song Yanghui suddenly stood up, opened the tent and rushed out.
"Are you going to look for Yan Nan?" Song Yanghui asked while standing in the rain, which soon soaked his entire body.
Yan Huai turned to look at him in surprise, and then Yuan Qing asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Where are you going to find him?"
Yuan Qing said nothing, but just looked at him with frowned brows.
Song Yanghui slowly moved his feet, and finally uttered the words stuck in his throat, "Take me with you."
"Take me with you to find Yan Nan."
——
Yan Nan was still trapped in that house. During this time, Yan Qiusi came several times, but each time he just stared at him for a while and then left.
Yan Nan didn't know what he could see every time he stared at it.
The countdown to the collapse was decreasing little by little, but the other two protagonists were nowhere to be found.
At first, Yan Nan was quite optimistic about this variable, but soon, the system brought him some unfortunate news.
[Operator, I think we should leave here.] The system's voice was unusually serious.
Yan Nan asked in surprise, "What happened?"
[My functions are limited. At first, I could accurately detect Yuan Qing's location. Until yesterday, I could still know his approximate position. At first, I thought it was the chaotic magnetic field outside the small world that disturbed my data.]
【But that's obviously not the case, because until now, my detection signal has become intermittent, making it almost impossible to leave the factory.】
【There is something in this factory that is limiting my functions.】
[We have to leave now, otherwise we may be trapped in this little world forever until the day it collapses.]
【We will be left behind to be buried with it.】
Yan Nan looked up and took a serious look, then said calmly, "Okay, I will use system AS0813 to establish the permission for space-time coordinates."
[Received, respected operator AT0306, please be ready to leave the small world at any time. ]
As the system's voice ended, the original layout in the system space disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a blue beam of light rising in the pure white space.
Watching 0813 busy on the other side, Yan Nan's mind flashed through what had happened in the past ten days.
It's strange to say, he has only been in this world for such a short time, but an inexplicable emotion always arises in his heart.
The thought of abandoning the characters and letting the entire little world fall into its inevitable fate of destruction.
The tangled emotions kept pulling at him.
However, before I could get rid of that emotion, the system suddenly spoke again.
[Yan Nan, it seems we can’t leave. ]
[What happened?] Yan Nan asked calmly, but he was not panicking at all. When the great crisis came, a power that came from nowhere emerged from his soul.
[The signal is completely blocked. I can't build a transmission channel unless the mission in this small world is completed.]
[Then we can only think of a way to continue cleaning up this messy stall.] Yan Nan remained unusually calm from beginning to end.
[The mysterious Yan Qiusi must first be figured out in order to deal with him in a targeted manner. As for the protagonist, we can only believe that he will definitely catch up. ]
