After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 202 Gas Mask
Tang Xiaoyan had no idea that Sang Tian had made thorough preparations to prevent this natural disaster.

Just as Sang Tian had predicted, in less than a week, not even a day, a second person was infected.

It was another orc from the same family who got infected.

Bai Mingchen and Qing Zhi acted swiftly, bringing the person back in just forty minutes.

Sang Tian went to open the door when she heard the doorbell ring.

To cope with the toxic fog, a passageway was installed at Sang Tian's house, making a total of two doors. The passageway will have purification and disinfection devices.

Looking at the still-struggling body bag, Sang Tian said, "You've gone soft-hearted?"

"This thing has so much blood that it almost smashed the brain out, yet the person didn't even faint."

Upon hearing the word "brain marrow," Sang Tian's pupils contracted, and she immediately pictured a large hole in the back of a person's head.

Just like last time, Sang Tian gave someone an injection, but this time it was a regular sedative.

After one injection, the person stopped moving.

"Take it to the secret room for observation." Sang Tian threw the syringe into the trash can.

The rest of the family went to build a new shelter, leaving only the three of them and the two infected individuals being held captive.

The idea for building the secret room was inspired by He Zi.

The infected person who was brought here yesterday was taken aback when he saw a familiar face, and exclaimed in surprise, "Chi Lian, what brings you here too?"

"Don't be surprised, maybe your whole family will come in a few days." Sang Tian comforted people in her unique way.

At this moment, Sang Tian noticed that red snake scales had appeared on Chi Lian's arm.

"No wonder you didn't get dizzy. You guys didn't even hit the snake where it hurts. How could a person get dizzy?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mingchen didn't hide his amusement at all. "You're saying this in front of another snake? Aren't you afraid it will crawl in the shadows?"

Sang Tian then realized that Qing Zhi was also a snake.

"By the way, what's your name?" Sang Tian asked, looking at the orc who had almost fully recovered.

"Xingluo".

Sang Tian murmured the name, "It's a pretty name."

Xingluo knew that Sangtian meant him no harm, otherwise she wouldn't have let the beastman bring him back and treat his illness.

Sang Tian couldn't bear to look at Chi Lian's mangled head, so she took out some spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and splashed it on the back of his head.

The spring water and blood were mixed together, and the smell of blood permeated the entire secret room.

"Are our health problems really related to the heavy fog outside?"

"Besides the heavy fog, are there any other strange things about your life?" Sang Tian didn't answer directly, but asked back.

Xinglu remained silent, knowing the answer. He turned his gaze to the unconscious Chilian, hoping that she would wake up.

An hour and a half passed, and Chi Lian still showed no sign of waking up.

"Did you go too far?" Compared to Xingluo yesterday, Chilian was too busy waking up.

"No, you've already used the spiritual spring water on him, it must be because of the different medicines."

Sang Tian gave up on observing further, saying, "Then let's wait and see. In the meantime, don't touch him, or you'll both die."

Sang Tian's words startled Xing Luo, and he kept nodding to assure her.

There are cameras in the secret room, and Sang Tian can see what's going on inside using electronic devices.

Chi Lian didn't wake up until nightfall, proving that healing still depended on her special abilities.

Sang Tian drew a conclusion.

At night, Xingluo was left outdoors without any precautions. Ever since learning that the fog had caused their mutation, Xingluo had been terrified of fog. Only when he was surrounded by the dense fog did he understand why they had saved him.

Despite being used as a test subject, Xingluo didn't show much anger; instead, she felt fortunate to have escaped with her life.

Sang Tian stood in the sunroom on the top floor, looking at a glimmer of light in the black mist—the mark that Xing Luo had made on his body.

"How is Chi Lian?"

Bai Mingchen stayed by her side the whole time. "She died. She was already a little cold when she went down there."

"Don't be so rough next time. How could a sedative kill someone?"

Sang Tian still felt that the two of them had gone too far.

Seeing the outcome, Bai Mingchen no longer denied that it was a matter of who did it. "Based on the current development, we can just go to the Xingluo female master's house tomorrow."

"How many beastly husbands does she still have?"

"Four, and it's hard to say what will happen tomorrow." With the concentration increasing now, it's only a matter of time before the whole family gets infected if no one is taking precautions.

Sang Tian looked away. "Give Xing Luo a tent down there, and send him some compressed biscuits. We'll see how things go tomorrow morning."

The worst-case scenario is simply going to Xingluo's house for a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and bringing back the two of them.

"Why haven't you been to the black market lately?" Sang Tian asked, puzzled.

"The black market is closed recently, and the people there are easier to persuade than the females on the mainland."

Sang Tian nodded, "The best way to persuade someone is when someone around them has paid the price for it, and the persuasion is mixed with blood and tears. The effect is amazing."

This is a truth that Sang Tian realized in his own world.

Bai Mingchen looked on silently, his deep eyes filled with heartache.

Sang Tian noticed Bai Mingchen's gaze. "Stop looking at me with that pitiful look. My life wasn't as hard as you think. If it had been really hard, I wouldn't have come into this world."

It's still a problem of life being too smooth, but at least I don't have to look at those disgusting zombies anymore, and I can even have multiple husbands in my field of vision.

The news of people being infected has been circulating widely on the forum these past two days, but such posts are quickly taken down and accounts are even banned.

Some people have already begun to doubt Stardust's statement.

After testing and analysis, it was found that Xingluo had developed antibodies, and the toxic fog no longer had any effect on him.

To prevent side effects, Sang Tian still dared not inject her six beastmen easily and planned to observe them for a period of time.

On the third day after Xingluo was infected, his mistress dissolved their marriage.

Homeless Xingluo was placed in a separate quarantine facility.

As the number of infected people increased, females were attacked and injured by their beastmen, plunging the continent into complete chaos.

More and more females are realizing the importance of gas masks and are rushing to buy them.

The gas masks on the cloud-based online store sold out quickly, and restocking would take seven days, with a limit of three per person.

Some people started looking to the black market, knowing that there must be a way to get gas masks there.

Sang Tian opened the group chat and found that everyone was asking for gas masks at exorbitant prices, with the price already reaching 20,000 spirit crystals per mask.

Everything was proceeding according to her plan.

Sang Tian posted a message that there were two hundred gas masks available, available on a first-come, first-served basis, priced at six thousand spirit crystals each.

As the release date approached, Sang Tian felt a pang of conscience. After all, the cost of a gas mask was only one thousand yuan, meaning a pure profit of five thousand yuan.

The moment the message was sent, the group chat exploded with excitement.

The purchase link sold out in less than a second after it was posted.

Sang Tian's account has been receiving spirit crystals.
