“How many people have been infected?” The head of the emergency response department shouted into his communicator.

“The 21st, 22nd and 23rd floors!” There was a shrill voice from the communicator. “All the women in the Garden of Eden who met the Rose Declaration’s standards, all the staff and even the embryos in the culture equipment on the 20th floor.  There were also some people from other floors!”

The officer’s fingers tightened and he almost crushed the communicator.

His deputy asked, “What now?”

“Clean up the scene. Are you stupid?” The furious officer turned sharply but it was to An Zhe, not the deputy.

Under the grim white light, his face was as cold as stone.

“What happened on the 22nd floor?” The harsh voice entered An Zhe’s ears like thunder, hurting his head. The officer guarding him pressed him forward and he felt the bones of his shoulder almost being crushed.

The pain made him tremble slightly and An Zhe’s eyelashes lowered. He said, “Madam Lu has mutated.”

“Where were you at the time?”

“…In front of her.”

“Why did she mutate?” he yelled. “The Garden of Eden doesn’t even have any water dripping above the 20th floor. How can the women there mutate?

“Many years ago… she was bitten by a bee.” An Zhe replied truthfully. The officer in front of him looked so violent that An Zhe subconsciously stepped back but the soldier pressed him forward.

“If she was bitten many years ago then she would’ve mutated already!” The officer yanked at An Zhe’s wrist.

“Senior colonel, calm down. The situation now—” The deputy trembled.

The cold muzzle of a gun was placed against An Zhe’s temple.

“Do you want to speak for him?” The senior colonel exploded. “I saw this man when he was transferred. He is from the Lighthouse, not the 22nd floor. Wasn’t there a bee sample in the Lighthouse? I said for a long time that the scientists are lunatics for raising heterogeneous species in the Twin Towers. Sooner or later, something will happen. They want to kill the base, just like the former fusion faction.”

The deputy asked, “Do you want to contact the Trial Court?”

“No need for the Trial Court.” The major held the trigger, his voice cold. “He can’t be separated from the infection.”

CHAPTER 53

An Zhe closed his eyes.

He knew what had just happened to humanity. The disappearance of the mothers and children meant this human base had completely lost its future. In this case, he wouldn’t be surprised no matter what the senior colonel did.

—Just then!

“Senior colonel!” A familiar voice rang out from the end of the hall. It was the doctor.

An Zhe looked over.

“He is from the Garden of Eden and now he is helping the Lighthouse with a study.” The doctor said. “Please let me handle him.”
