“The preliminary plan is to incorporate everything into the Bai Er team,” Fang Ganlang leaned back against the sofa. “However, considering You Xue’s past as a test subject, plus the drug overdose and high fever coma she experienced after the Jiangbei mission, I’m considering sending her and the illegally rescued experimental victims from some time ago to Jin City first.”

In the early days of Awakened emergence, countries around the world, under the pressure of the disaster, proposed researching the possibility of artificial Awakening and evolution in humans, but it was later called off and banned for various unspeakable reasons.

But once Pandora’s box is opened, how could it be easily closed?

So when everyone came to their senses, they realized that whether ordinary people or Awakened individuals had become victims, disappearing, dying, or finding a final destination. More were polluted and assimilated, completely mutated into Mutated Entity monsters.

Although the authorities cracked down severely after the incident, rats can always find corners to survive. To this day, there are still many black illegal experimental bases researching the possibility of artificial Awakening and evolution.

Every year, victims are rescued, and research institutes in various Safety Zone areas have established specialized research departments to address these illegal experiments. The Jin City Research Institute is particularly outstanding in this area of research.

Understanding Fang Ganlang’s intention in sending You Xue to Jin City, Xie Yi didn’t say anything more. He paused, then asked, “Is Shen Shu also included in this preliminary plan?”

“Hmm?” Fang Ganlang seemed surprised that he would ask this question and couldn’t help but smile. “What’s wrong? Isn’t Shen Shu your teammate?”

“Of course, he is.” Xie Yi didn’t know if Fang Ganlang knew about the connection between Shen Shu and Fei Yuelan, and replied, “It’s just that he’s only been a new recruit for two months.”

Fang Ganlang: “Are you worried about that? I thought Yuelan would have told you when she put Shen Shu in your squad that Shen Shu had been following her all along.”

“Captain did mention it.” Xie Yi quickly replied. “But this is ultimately a secret matter. Officially, Shen Shu is still a newcomer. I’m afraid other team members won’t approve.”

“That’s not something you or I need to worry about,” Fang Ganlang said. “The latecomer surpassing the old will happen anywhere. Shen Shu, he has to do it.”

Xie Yi frowned upon hearing this. He has to?

…

Coming out of the General Command Room, Xie Yi was still thinking about Fang Ganlang’s final “has to.”

Why “has to”?

At this moment, the Smart Terminal on his wrist suddenly vibrated.

His thoughts interrupted, Xie Yi raised his hand to look and found that it was a message from the control center reminding him to update his Ability evolution information in a timely manner.

Xie Yi closed it after reading it, and glanced at the time.

A little after five o’clock, just right to get some dinner, and then—

He strode towards the elevator. Since Fang Ganlang wouldn’t say, then he’d go directly to the person involved. Besides, he needed answers to many things that happened in Jiangbei.

After quickly finishing dinner, Xie Yi stood in front of the elevator and called Shen Shu, but no one answered for a long time. He suddenly remembered Jiang Li saying that Shen Shu had been taken away by Professor Hu.

Xie Yi stared at the Smart Terminal for a second, then sent a message to Jiang Li: Is Professor Hu Xianwei still at the Research Institute?

Perhaps Jiang Li wasn’t busy during dinner, so the message was quickly returned: ? Why are you asking this?

Xie Yi: I can’t get in touch with Shen Shu, so I wanted to ask.

Jiang Li: …Teacher has been in the special containment room on -3 lately, and should be there today too.

Special containment room?

Xie Yi stared at these words for a moment, then sent another message to Jiang Li and pressed the elevator button.

The Research Institute is located underground in the Security Defense Team, with a total of five floors.

Floors -1 and -2 are mainly public office areas, treatment areas, and conventional laboratories.

Floor -3 is the special containment room, mainly used to contain heavily polluted humans who still have conscious thought.

Floors -4 and below are the detention areas, holding captured living Mutated Entity organisms for experimental research, as well as humans who have been assimilated into Mutated Entity.

Non-Research Institute personnel don’t have the authority to enter the Research Institute, so Xie Yi had Jiang Li pick him up.

Exiting the elevator, passing through winding security corridors, and going through several automatic security checks, Xie Yi entered a double glass door.

The room behind the glass door wasn’t large.

On both sides were two sealed silver thick metal doors, and directly in front was a large frosted glass panel.

A prismatic crystal hung in the center of the frosted glass, and the crystal scattered and flowed around in rotation, instantly merging into one.

Jiang Li, who had arrived before Xie Yi, was standing in front of the crystal looking down at her Smart Terminal.

Hearing the movement, she turned around, “You came pretty quickly, follow me.”

After speaking, she walked towards the metal door on the left.

“I contacted Teacher’s side, and he agreed to let you come over,” Jiang Li said as she walked. “But I have something to do, so I can only take you to the elevator and swipe your authorization. When you get to -3, go directly to the innermost room, S3107, which is to turn left after exiting the elevator and go towards…”

Before she could finish, Xie Yi suddenly interrupted, “I know that room.”

Jiang Li, who had just scanned her iris to open the door, paused and looked back at him, unable to help but say, “You’ve been Awakened for so long, and you still remember.”

Xie Yi gave an absentminded “hmm” and didn’t say anything.

Knowing that he didn’t want to chat, Jiang Li didn’t say anything more. Although she really wanted to complain, if he didn’t want to come, why did he come anyway?

She hurriedly put him in the direct elevator and went to take care of her own business.

Xie Yi leaned against the corner of the elevator, his eyes scanning around, finally landing on the blurred shadow on the elevator door, somewhat lost in thought.

But soon, the “ding” of the elevator interrupted his wandering thoughts.

He looked up at the display screen, which was stopped at -3, and then stepped out of the elevator.

A chilling aura rushed over him.

It wasn’t time for lights out yet, and the entire floor -3 was shrouded in glaring white light.

Following the deep memories, Xie Yi walked in the direction of S3107.

The Research Institute floors -3 and below were built to imitate a beehive. He passed through familiar white walls and heavy black metal doors, and it took him about ten minutes to reach the area where S3107 was located.

There were five black metal doors here. At the moment, one on the front left was ajar.

The electronic screen next to the door was marked: S3107 Special Containment, In Use.

Xie Yi walked over and knocked on the door, “Professor Hu, it’s Xie Yi.”

After hearing a vague “come in” from inside, Xie Yi reached out and opened the door and walked in.

Under the bright white lights, only a huge semicircular table occupied most of the room.

The table was filled with all kinds of utensils and instruments, and lines of different colors extended from behind the instruments, winding and connecting to a wide glass panel in front.

An old man in a white coat turned from the instrument display and looked at him, “Xie Yi, long time no see.”
