Excessive ferocity due to caution

Player Zhao Yi triggers a hidden quest: Investigate the origin of the Black Disaster.

[Quest Rewards: Forgotten Traveler's Eyeball *1, 8 Points]

After entering the East District Test Site, Zhao Yi triggered a hidden mission.

The points reward for completing the task are not very generous.

But it is extremely difficult.

Zhao Yi was very interested in the eyes of the Forgotten Traveler.

The reason is... Zhao Yi felt a strange sense of familiarity with the name of the Forgotten Traveler.

Based on past experience, any name that feels familiar even though you've never encountered it before... it must have a significant background!

Since it touched on Zhao Yi's past memories, he gladly accepted the task.

After that, under the guidance of the captain of Team D, Zhao Yi began to familiarize himself with his work.

Actually, it's not that complicated.

The higher-ups had assigned tasks to almost every member of the Black Disaster Squad, so Zhao Yi didn't need to do much management.

As the squad leader, his job is to ensure that his team members can exert their due strength when defending against the enemy!

Everything for Pulse City!

Everything for the benefit of the Federation of Humanity!

After a brief brainwashing session, the panel in his battle suit and helmet assigned him real-time tasks.

Now, he needs to deliver the medicine.

The test site in the eastern wasteland was built with extravagance. The huge test site was almost made of pure alloy, which showed the high level of technological development of the human federation in this world!

Some mysterious instruments, resembling planets, floated in the air and rotated slowly.

In the testing ground, everyone was wearing specially made clothes and masks that completely isolated them from the outside world, and they were constantly running around.

Like busy ants.

Zhao Yi took the medicine and followed the planned route to a pharmacy, where he retrieved a fully wrapped and marked medicine bag.

Next, he was to transport the medicine bag to an emergency room in the medical building.

...

Inside the emergency room.

The doctor is not here.

There were three hospital beds in the room.

Three patients.

The first female patient's entire body was covered in festering, rotting skin, oozing pus. It looked as if a light touch would cause large patches of skin to peel off...

This is the result of being exposed to strong radiation.

The cells begin to undergo apoptosis.

But she did not die.

She stared at Zhao Yi with wide eyes, her pitiful gaze like a dog begging for food, pleading with him to remove the IV tubes and let her die.

Zhao Yi ignored her pleas.

He stepped to the bedside of the second patient.

This patient was different from the patient in bed number one; his appearance was almost completely intact.

But with the help of the Evil Eye, Zhao Yi saw that his internal organs were completely covered with parasites...

The parasites continued to multiply in his body, but they did not rush to devour his internal organs.

These worm swarms even secrete a "pain-intensifying" mucus, stimulating his internal organs through pain to ensure the worm swarm's reproduction...

The man's belly was terribly swollen.

Blue veins were visible on his belly.

It's not hard to imagine that in the near future, this person's stomach will burst open under high pressure...

His eyes did not have the same compassion as the woman in bed number one.

It's hatred!

Endless hatred!

Zhao Yi merely glanced at him indifferently before turning his gaze to bed number three.

Unlike the patients in the first two beds, the patient in bed number three was unusually calm.

There were no wounds on his body.

The strangest thing is that even with the help of the Evil Eye, Zhao Yi still couldn't see through him!

This means that the mental strength of the patient in front of us is at least at the high-level quasi-major evil level!

Upon meeting Zhao Yi, he suddenly smiled and said:

"You are not 1234."

"He brought me medicine not long ago."

"I recognize him."

"He's not as...powerful as you."

Zhao Yi ignored him and calmly placed the medicine in his hand on the table.

The man then said:

"Do me a favor."

Zhao Yi turned around and glanced at the guy.

"What kind of help?"

"Will you help me escape?"

The man shook his head:

"In order to unleash my mental power, they used all sorts of extremely cruel methods on me..."

"My life has been severely overdrawn. Even if I escape from here, I won't live much longer."

"Now, all I want before I die is to help myself and a few fellow patients I know... get revenge."

Zhao Yi said lazily:

"What would I get in return for helping you?"

The other party smiled slightly.

What do you want?

"the truth."

The man was silent for two seconds.

"I don't know the truth... but I know where to find the truth."

"And...we're going the same way."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi sat down in front of the man's bed and said:

"What's your name?"

He replied:

"Just call me Liu Zi."

"6 was my old code name... I've forgotten my real name."

"I sent the doctor to this ward, but he should be back soon."

"We don't have much time, so I'll tell you what to do."

"Every night at midnight in the testing grounds, the suit you're wearing will be used to verify your true identity."

"If you want to stay in the testing grounds for an extended period, you must go to the place where you change into your combat suit before nightfall tonight..."

At this point, Liu Zi's expression became much more serious.

"Remember... don't rush inside."

"Don't arouse anyone's suspicion."

"Wait until a woman who always likes to touch her neck appears, then go in and tell her you're going to change into your battle suit."

"And tell her that I sent you..."

Zhao raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"Looks like there are quite a few of you..."

Liu Zi said easily:

"Yes."

"They thought their testing grounds were impregnable... but they didn't know that our people had already infiltrated here."

Zhao Yi:

"Just one more question, who are you...?"

Liu Zi smiled slightly, his expression calm.

"You can call us those who went to their deaths."

Zhao Yi sighed and stood up.

I won't say any more.

Because he could already hear footsteps coming from outside the door.

squeak--

The door was pushed open.

A doctor walked in.

But he wasn't wearing a white lab coat; instead, he was wearing a lab coat, the kind he wore when conducting experiments.

"The medicine has arrived?"

The doctor asked a question politely.

Zhao Yi pointed to the several bags of medicine on the table.

As he left, he pointed to the woman in bed number one and said to the doctor:

"Is there really any need for treatment for this type of patient?"

The doctor glanced at it and grinned:

"Of course there's no need for treatment... but it's such a waste to let these damn infected people die like this!"

"Since these life-extending drugs are so cheap, why not take advantage of this time to have more fun?"

"Sir...you don't have any sympathy for these infected people, do you?"

Zhao Yi met his gaze deeply, then grinned:

"Of course not."

"How could I possibly sympathize with them?"

"...See you later."

PS: Second update.

Two updates today.

I'm so sorry everyone, I hope I get better soon...

Goodnight, my darlings!
