Chapter 190 The Extreme Cold Realm 06
"Go wash your hands in the water right away!" Ye Xi'an said without even thinking.

"Ow."

Yi Yang rushed to the water's edge in a panic, rubbing his hands together vigorously. Behind him was a group of orcs fighting amongst themselves, making the contrast between the two scenes rather comical.

Ye Xi'an walked over and squatted down next to Yi Yang, using his mental power to keep a close eye on the light on Yi Yang's hands. It looked like it was just floating on the surface, but it did not disappear as Yi Yang rubbed it.

Instead, it began to wriggle like a living thing.

Ye Xi'an's heart skipped a beat.

She focused her mental energy and touched the point of light, and surprisingly felt a faint but tenacious life force.

As if sensing the threat of Ye Xi'an's mental power, the little thing suddenly changed direction, stopped climbing upwards, and turned to burrow into Yi Yang's body.

It penetrated Yi Yang's skin and merged into his flesh and blood.

What's going on? Did she see it wrong?

Ye Xi'an's gaze quickly swept over the others.

Bo Jing, Ji Jiangci, Lin Zhijing, and even Gu Feng.

Anyone who has come into contact with plants that grow on the ground will have their palms, the hem of their clothes, and even the strands of their hair tinged with the same faint glow.

However, most people are different from Yiyang; those tiny life forms are just attached to the surface of the skin, as if they want to burrow but can't.

Some, like Yi Yang, are being gradually seeped into their bodies by those points of light.

Suddenly she seemed to see fleshy bulges rising and falling on the orc's skin as the light seeped in, only to disappear quickly.

She was certain she wasn't seeing things; a strange chill crept up Ye Xi'an's spine.

Before she could even raise a warning.

A piercing alarm suddenly blared in the open space.

Everyone's wrists lit up simultaneously, and the personal computers issued urgent red alerts.

The sharp, synthesized electronic voice is devoid of any emotion.

"alarm--"

"Federal Transfer: Unknown Virus Discovered in Extreme Cold Region"

"Danger level: Extremely high".

"Characteristic: Leads to drastic changes in cell morphology."

"Extremely high mortality rate—"

"Three females have died. Everyone, please stay where you are and do not approach the portal to return to the main planet. This is to prevent bringing the unknown virus back to the main planet."

The fighting males froze instantly, their faces turning deathly pale, terror spreading in their eyes.

The females died? And three of them died at once? Even on a five-star difficulty planet, nothing like this has ever happened.

"A virus? And three females died?" Bo Jing's voice trembled with disbelief.

He subconsciously looked at Ye Xi'an, wanting to check on her condition, but also afraid that he might be carrying the virus.

"What's going on! Where did this virus suddenly come from?" Ji Jiangci's blue pupils contracted, clearly also thinking about Ye Xi'an's situation.

He anxiously checked his personal computer, trying to find out what was happening on the main planet.

The more he investigated, the more alarmed he became.

The female who had taken advantage of the war to pick plants and return to the main planet was found to be carrying a high-risk unknown virus when passing through the security gate.

Military personnel and researchers stationed at the mission center arrived immediately and isolated the females.

Within ten minutes of being isolated, the female suddenly experienced a splitting headache, her skin began to deform and bulge in various places, and her limbs twisted abnormally. Ultimately, she died suddenly with a horrifying expression in extreme fear.

Upon examination, it was found that the cells of each dead female were not of normal shape; some had even burst open or proliferated rapidly until they ruptured the host's body.

This virus is unprecedented on Mount Everest, and there is no corresponding vaccine. The only way to detect whether each person is infected with the virus is through a quantum computer, and then isolation measures are implemented.

Lin Zhijing's brows were furrowed tightly, and a ruthless glint flashed in his gray eyes.

Is the main planet going to abandon them, trapping them to death in this extreme cold? He looked at Ye Xi'an: "Xi'an, what color is the test result on your personal terminal?"

"Green means low infection level, I'm fine," Ye Xi'an said softly. "But what about Yi Yang?"

She raised her head, her gaze fixed intently on Yi Yang.

"Yi Yang!" Ye Xi'an called out.

Yi Yang's face was filled with confusion and fear. He looked at his hand that had just held the plant, the infection level displayed on the computer, and the blinding red light that kept flashing. Tears welled up instantly.

"Wife...I...am I going to die?" His voice was choked with sobs.

Ye Xi'an was so upset that she didn't know what to say, so she could only comfort her: "Don't be afraid, you'll definitely be alright. We'll go back to the God Star together."

Ye Xi'an tried to wipe away Yi Yang's tears, but he quickly dodged her.

"Don't touch me, I have a virus on me," Yi Yang said, becoming more and more aggrieved, tears streaming down her face.

Gu Feng stood beside Ye Xi'an, his personal terminal also emitting a red light, but he simply looked at Ye Xi'an in silence.

His eyes held a complex mix of worry and...relief?
It was as if death wasn't so terrible to him, as long as she was alright.

However, the other males were not so optimistic, especially the single males who rushed towards the portal, wanting to go back first. After all, they would only be constantly infected by the virus here, so they might as well take a chance.

at this time.

The portal suddenly fluctuated violently.

A powerful energy fluctuation came.

"boom!"

The portal was violently ripped open.

Countless soldiers in protective suits rushed out of the portal.

They wielded energy guns, their movements swift and cold.

All the orcs who tried to rush into the portal were instantly surrounded.

"Everyone, please don't move!"

"Stay put and get tested!"

The cold, commanding voice echoed through the cave, sounding somewhat muffled through the protective mask.

The soldiers exuded a powerful and oppressive aura.

The leading officer strode forward from behind the soldiers, holding a virus testing instrument in his hand. His eyes, sharp as a hawk's, swept over every orc present.

"According to the highest command of the main planet."

"High-risk virus discovered in extremely cold regions."

"All individuals who have been in contact with the source of the virus must be tested."

“Take the uninfected individuals back to the main planet.”

"Infected individuals..."

The officer paused for a moment.

A despairing silence filled the air.

"Stay where you are."

The soldiers began to move, roughly separating the crowd and checking everyone's computer data before officers stepped forward to confirm whether they were infected using instruments.

Those orcs who passed the inspection were led into the portal by soldiers, while those confirmed to be infected were herded into a nearby cave.

Cries, screams of panic, and shouts of anger mingled together, creating a scene of utter chaos.

Ye Xi'an gripped Lin Zhijing's hand tightly, her heart pounding in her throat. Would Yi Yang be alright?

Lin Zhijing looked at his hand that was being held and suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll get infected? How dare you hold my hand?"

Ye Xi'an, who was originally extremely nervous, was taken aback and said, "None of you have been infected except for Yi Yang."
