“There is no way to prove it.” The doctor shook his head. “However, you also know that when a monster’s tissue fluid is injected into the tail of the experimental animal, the gene change can be observed at the same time from the head of the animal. These tissue fluids didn’t enter the body’s fluid circulation system at all yet all the genes in the animal’s body were changed. Since this thing can happen, why can’t we be infected without touching the monster?”

At this point, his entire body was trembling.

“Seraing.” The doctor’s voice was completely hoarse. “Downstairs is full of live heterogeneous species and at least 100 staff.”

Seraing looked solemn. “I’ll go down right away.”

“Protect yourself. The further away you are from all living things there, the better.”

He didn’t say heterogenous or humans. He said ‘living things.’

Seraing nodded and moved quickly downstairs.

In the silent corridor, only An Zhe and the doctor were left. The doctor seemed to collapse. He leaned against the icy wall and An Zhe supported him.

In the silence, the doctor suddenly opened his mouth. “Aren’t you afraid?”

An Zhe shook his head. The doctor stared at him. “You seem to have something… people in this era don’t have.”

An Zhe didn’t speak and quietly listened to him. The doctor’s eyes rested on An Zhe for a long time before he took a short breath, his lips trembling like he gained some extraordinary inspiration. “You are naive and… seem like a bystander.”

“Everyone lives in fear but you are calm. It is out of place with everyone else.”

Then he seemed to smile. “I know why Lu Feng likes to be with you.”

An Zhe watched the doctor. The doctor’s young face revealed a faint gauntness and he looked tired. An Zhe wondered, “Is there anything I can do to help you?”

“Thank you.” The doctor stared into his eyes and shook. “You… just live safely.”

An Zhe thought about it. “I will try.”

He didn’t talk anymore. In the corridor, the doctor’s words to himself echoed. “No physical contact and no air transmission. Will this type of thing really happen?”

No one answered him but there was the clear sound of gunshots downstairs. Then there was the second sound.

A third.

The sound continued nonstop, reverberating in the building for a long time. With one gunshot after another, the theoretical system that humans used to explain this world completely collapsed.

The doctor’s hand on An Zhe’s arm was tense and his fingers shook. “…Why?”

CHAPTER 46

The gunfire stopped and a few people came up from downstairs, including Seraing.

“These people aren’t infected?”

Seraing replied, “Yes.”
