A deep and powerful voice echoed in the ward.

This man is simply cruel and unreasonable!

She didn't say that she wanted to favor Huo Qi, because she was afraid that he would not die.

Bai Jing slipped into the bed and covered her head with the quilt in frustration. After hearing the group of people leaving, her silent tears gradually wet the quilt.

The female teacher heard a small whimper coming from under the quilt and sighed: "You rest first, I'll buy you some dinner."

With the sound of the door closing, the ward became empty, so quiet that only the rustling of the quilt was left.

She is clearly a victim, why should she be treated like this?

Bai Jing whispered again: "It's all Huo Qi's fault!"

She is also blind and actually fell in love with an infected person.

Then...why did Huo Qi choose to eat her on the day of the riot?

Vaguely, she always felt that something was wrong.

However, this question was quickly disturbed by sleepiness.

When she woke up again, she was awakened by an unpleasant smell.

When she opened her eyes, the female teacher was moving a bed table in front of her, which was filled with meat dishes.

Bai Jing's eyes lit up the moment she saw the meat. Normally, she would only be able to eat this meat dish worth fifty gold once a year.

It's just that now she doesn't smell a trace of appetite, but feels sick in her stomach.

"Teacher, where did you buy the dark food? It can't be processed meat, right?" Bai Jing leaned behind her with a pillow, sat up straight and asked her.

Some bold merchants will process and sell the carrion of animals, and the price is relatively cheaper.

The female teacher turned around and said, "Don't you like eating?"

There was fried chicken, drinks, rice, and a few pieces of glutinous-looking food on the table.

It was true that she loved eating these, but right now it smelled like rancid food.

"Teacher, this is all broken." Bai Jing reminded kindly.

The female teacher came over, smelled it, and put a piece into her mouth, "Well, the taste is just right, it's my favorite tomato flavor, eh? Don't you like ketchup? This cost me half a month's salary. Woolen cloth."

From her feedback, it doesn’t look like an unpalatable item.

This time, Bai Jing was stunned. She grabbed a few pieces of fried meat and stuffed it into her mouth. After chewing for a few bites, she was so repulsed that she wanted to spit it out.

She ran to the toilet and vomited everything in her mouth.

How is this going?

It's impossible for her to be in a state of rejection of food, or...

Just as he was thinking about the reason, Bai Jing saw an exposed part of his clothes reflected in the pool.

She quickly raised her head, pulled open most of her collar, and saw an incredible scene in the mirror.

Starting from the heart, fine lines like tree roots spread in all directions, also glowing with a green light, especially the same as the lines on Huo Qi's face.

She tried her best to rub it with her hands, but the area was like a part of her body, unchanged at all.

It's over, she's infected too.

Bai Jing fell to the ground in a daze.

No wonder she is super-sentient and hates normal food. Is it because she is about to mutate?

She quickly glanced out the window. The black curtain had been lowered, which meant that she was still safe.

Don't kill others!

An idea suddenly popped into Bai Jing's mind.

"Dong dong dong."

"Bai Jing, are you okay? Do you not like eating? How about I go buy something else? Just wait for me."

The gentle voice of the female teacher came, and her nose felt sour, and she responded with a muffled "Hmm."

She didn't dare to come out until the person was gone.

The food just now was still on the table. She looked around and found paper and pen to leave a message to the female teacher who had just taken office and was very responsible: "Thank you for taking care of me. I am very grateful."

Bai Jing pressed the paper under the box and quickly escaped from the treatment center.

The place where common people live is originally a city built on huge discarded steel, and it is modeled after the old world. In addition to the feeling of backwardness, there are also many places for people to hide.

After leaving the treatment center, Bai Jing wandered among the steel frames. It was the first time she felt so helpless.

Even homeless.

Ding dong——

The bell on her wrist rang, and she quickly picked it up. A soft voice came from the other side: "When will sister come home? I miss my sister so much today, but I will wait for her to come home."

"Well, sister will go back later. Today... I have to work overtime today."

"Okay, then I'll heat it up for my sister to make fried rice."

"Crack."

Communication hung up.

Bai Jing couldn't lower her arms for a long time, and tears circled from her eyes several times but not a single one fell out.

Since her parents passed away, she has been living with her younger sister, who was born blind. She went to the bar to earn money to save enough for the bus fare to the main city and medical expenses.

I heard that the medical treatment there is of the highest quality, and even blindness is not considered a minor illness.

But now, she doesn't even dare to go home for fear of hurting her sister after mutating during the day.

But where can she go? Surrender to the infected?

Bai Jing put her hands in her pockets and wandered in the street in a daze. The bustling fireworks around her were invisibly isolated from her.

But after a while, her stomach growled and hunger swept over her. She put the hood on her head and tried not to look at the passers-by.

Every time she looked at him, she had the urge to go up and tear him into pieces.

Bai Jing, hold on, you must not eat people.

Enduring the overwhelming feeling of hunger, she hid in an alley and happened to see someone smoking inside.

She subconsciously wanted to run away, but her eyes caught a glimpse of the familiar pair of high heels.

Suddenly he looked up and saw the female teacher from before. She was holding a piece of rice in her hand.

However, the other party's attention did not seem to be on her. A man's voice came from the communicator on the female teacher's bracelet: "Failed again?"

The female teacher threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it, and exhaled the last puff of white smoke: "Well, it has no obvious mutation characteristics, and it is probably a defective product. I should have caught two spiritual awakeners and tried it. Huo Qi is not a rare person. Excellent infected person genes.”

"Huh, how did you promise me that you would be able to complete the mission 100%, but now not only have you failed to assimilate successfully, but you have also lost more than a dozen infected people!"

"Hey, there is no such thing as 100% in this world. I was bragging at the time, and you dare to believe it. Now, are you still feeling sorry for these unpopular infected people?" The female teacher chuckled a few times, "But The guinea pig this time is quite interesting, I want to study it more.”

Guinea pig?

Bai Jing pressed her back tightly against the wall. She remembered that white mice in the old world were used for experiments.

She instantly felt the position of her heart, and combined with what the female teacher said, she could probably figure out the meaning.

It was the female teacher who transplanted Huo Qi's heart into her!

"Um...did you hear everything?"

The sudden sound exploded like thunder in Bai Jing's ears, and she ran away without thinking.

But it was faster than she expected, and she even forgot to breathe.

When she stopped, she put her hands on her knees and gasped, "Should... get rid of it?"

Bai Jing straightened up and was about to check if the female teacher was there. When she looked up, she saw that beautiful face that almost collided with hers.

"Yes, it seems that she was still affected a bit." The female teacher smiled and narrowed her eyes, and raised her hand to pat her shoulder to express her praise.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, it was empty.

Bai Jing took a few steps back and said, "Stay away from me!"

"Eh? Didn't you just say thank you for taking care of me? Are you going to look like a white-eyed wolf now?" The female teacher took out a note from her pocket, which was exactly what she had just left.
