Chapter 47: Sinner
Yan Nan opened his eyes. In front of him was a grayish-white wall. As his consciousness gradually returned, he felt a sharp pain in his body.
His whole body was shaking and twitching uncontrollably. He knocked something over in the process and heard a series of tinkling sounds. He opened his eyes with great effort to look and in his blurry vision he saw a syringe rolling on the floor.
After a long time, the pain gradually subsided. Yan Nan struggled to get up from the ground, still feeling a sense of weakness and powerlessness in his body.
[System.] He was just about to ask the system to transfer the original owner's memory, but the system's prompt came first.
【Someone is approaching.】
Then, there was a knock on the door. A dull male voice came through the soundproof door.
"Teacher Yan, are you okay? I've been waiting in the preparation room for an hour, but you haven't come over."
Yan Nan pressed the corner of his forehead. This was obviously not a good time to receive memories. At least he had to get rid of the man outside first.
He stood up with difficulty and walked to the door.
When I opened the door, the person outside was unexpectedly young. In other words, he had a handsome and elegant appearance, wearing student-like glasses and a clean white surgical gown. He looked even younger than I had imagined when I heard the voice.
As if because he hadn't heard a response for too long, he was about to knock on the door again, but the door suddenly opened, stopping him in his tracks.
There was no surprise or joy on his face. The young man, who seemed to be his assistant, put down his hand and said, "It seems that you have not finished dealing with something. But I still need to remind you that the meeting time you have agreed with the city lord is in forty-five minutes. I hope you still have time to prepare."
City Lord? Not knowing the person he was talking about, Yan Nan did not speak hastily. He kept his mouth shut and nodded.
The assistant was about to leave. At this moment, the sound of glass breaking and the system prompt sounded at the same time, and Yan Nanxia consciously looked into the room.
The window glass in the room was shattered, blood was splattered everywhere, and the broken curtains were fluttering alone.
And in the middle of all the destruction, a blood-covered figure was curled up on the floor.
[The protagonist's life is in danger. Please intervene as soon as possible. 】
Is this the protagonist? Yan Nan walked over, squatted down, and turned the suspected protagonist over to check. This guy was too young, or rather, he was just a child. He closed his eyes tightly, and his young face was wrinkled in pain.
[How old is he?] Yan Nan checked while distractedly asking the system.
[Judging from the bone age, about sixteen to eighteen years old.] The system responded smoothly with almost no pauses.
He did not comment and continued to examine the boy. There were no wounds on the boy, but blood soaked almost all over his body. His hands were clenched into fists, as if he was holding something important. On his back, three parallel cuts were bleeding, and the edges of the wounds were black and green. These were obvious wounds caused by the zombie virus infection, and the shape was like being injured by some canine zombie creature.
When he checked here, Yan Nan glanced at the young assistant out of the corner of his eye. He had been standing at the door with his hands folded, neither looking around curiously nor having any intention of coming in.
Anyway, let's get him out of the way first.
He was thinking this, but when the assistant saw him looking over, he spoke first, considerately, "Teacher Yan, do you need help? I put the medical kit on the left shelf of Room 6 on the third floor. I will get it in three minutes."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
He walked away with interest.
Yan Nan turned his head back. In just two sentences, the protagonist began to show signs of zombification. In the system space, the health bar that had just appeared belonging to the protagonist had dropped to a precarious level. It seemed that he was infected with a very strong virus.
After laying the boy flat on the bed, Yan Nan drew the injection serum given by the system as a gift. There is no serum in this world that can effectively resist viruses, but the system from the higher dimension always has a way to solve these problems.
After all, Yan Nan is still in the novice protection period.
He pressed the plunger to gently expel the air from the syringe—and the communicator on his wrist vibrated again in a logical manner.
Yan Nan injected the drug into the protagonist without pause, with smooth and graceful movements, without caring at all about the thoughts of the person on the other end of the communicator.
Products produced by the system must be high-quality.
The drug took effect very quickly, and the wounds on the boy's body healed at a speed that was completely beyond common sense.
He covered the protagonist with a blanket without worrying about it. When he was about to call back on the communicator, the door of the building was opened.
Yan Nan walked out of the room on the second floor, and then he watched a muscular stranger walk into his house naturally.
The man soon noticed Yan Nan upstairs. He scratched his head, and a look that could be called shy appeared on his bronze face.
"You didn't answer my calls, so I thought you were in the lab again... The patrol just reported that they found traces of dangerous creatures nearby. I was worried about you, so I came to check on you first."
[This is most likely the city lord.] The system that had already hacked into the base network said confidently, [Because his biological information is the only one that does not exist in the population file of the entire base. Also, the guy who helped you get the medical kit is called Lin Ye.]
Yan Nan nodded in understanding, and then the dark-skinned strong man spoke first, "Since you are not busy now, why don't you let me check the house for you first."
This was a very suspicious statement, Yan Nan thought, because the protagonist was just in critical condition in his hands, the murderer was still nowhere to be seen, and now the man who rushed here the fastest and was the only one to arrive had a skyrocketing suspicion.
(If it's a three-choice, he can exclude himself first. :)
"City Lord, there are still thirty-nine minutes left before the time you and Teacher Yan agreed upon." Lin Ye's voice suddenly rang in Yan Nan's ears.
He still had the same expressionless look as before, holding a medical box, standing next to Yan Nan, as if answering for him.
[For three full minutes, this guy was more accurate than a robot like me.] The system's sighing voice echoed in my mind.
"It may not be convenient now, because Teacher Yan has just finished preparing for the 73rd IBG experiment. If the patrol team comes in rashly, the stable sterile environment of the experiment will be destroyed."
The dark-skinned strong man frowned frankly, and stretched out his hand to pinch his neck unconsciously, "We can always make preparations. Teacher Yan's safety is more important now."
However, Lin Ye seemed to be unyielding and refused to give in. "The whole house is protected by the BAK network. There is no point in worrying about this."
"Is it just me?" The dark-skinned man stopped and said, "I don't have to check every house. I just need to check the public areas."
"The only public area is the living room at your feet."
"Come on, you know that's not what I mean. Would a dangerous monster just stand here in broad daylight and wait for me to catch it?"
"There are no suspicious people here as you imagined." Lin Ye pressed his forehead, seeming tired of the quarrel.
"Okay, fine, if you're so sure..." The dark-skinned man took two steps back. He was originally standing at the door, and this step meant that half of his body was almost out of the house.
At this moment, there was a click from the door behind Lin Ye, and a bloody head popped out from Yan Nan's bedroom.
The system's medicine is probably too effective.
