Coming out of the R&D department, Tom returned to the ant colony in a daze and then plunged into his own room.

He looked at his hand and then reached into his chest, feeling the powerful heartbeat.

"Pup, Pup, Pup," the familiar heartbeat had no other noise.

"Am I really mutated?" Tom took off his upper clothes, naked, and checked repeatedly in the mirror.

After several months of miniaturization and disaster, his life and battles have given him strong muscles, and his chest and biceps have significantly increased. Although they have not reached the level of Rambo, it is evident at first glance that this body has strength.

Have I also mutated?

Tom asked himself this way.

Anger, mania, and hunger. According to the description of Yue Zhenghui in the document, he has personal rationality, but he is often prone to falling into manic emotions. Once his emotions erupt, he becomes like a wild beast.

On the other hand, Tom himself, due to his various tragic childhood experiences, has a high level of control over anger, and there are not many things that can make him emotional, even after a minor disaster.

Did I really mutate?

Tom has such doubts.

Everyone's basic strength is at its highest, which is 15, and he has already grown to 20. You don't need crystals to activate abilities, after all, the body won't have any red light or other light floating after activation. Can it be said that the enhancement of his current strength is not an improvement in physical fitness, but a result of mutation?

Tom touched his stomach, but unfortunately he couldn't feel for any crystal nuclei in his body even through his belly.

Just take a CT scan and you'll know.

But he shook his head and gave up the idea.

After thinking for a while in the bedroom, Tom fell asleep without realizing it. Not long after, the door was knocked on. He got up with sleepy eyes and opened the door, only to see the strange look in Ouyang Haotian's eyes.

"How could you, An Shitou, leave early? Just woke up, right? Are you feeling unwell?" She reached out and touched his forehead.

Tom instinctively pushed it aside and said, "I'm fine."

He must distance himself from others to avoid being tempted like Yue Zhenghui.

During dinner, Tom ran to the door with his food and vegetables, but left the others confused. But now he doesn't want to explain to anyone.

Tom's bizarre behavior puzzled everyone. Since living together, everyone has been in a state of emotional turmoil due to various reasons, especially work and colleague issues. However, in my impression, Tom has always been very calm, and this abnormal feeling of Ouyang Haotian is the most obvious.

Everyone is pondering whether Tom is in conflict with Xiaobaimian Baisi Fei in the R&D department, or if he is at odds with General Manager Shen Jiayi. However, after discussing it, there is still no clue.

The atmosphere of suspicion continued until the next morning when the big guy went to work together. Under the suggestion of others, Fan Jie suggested that Tom take him to the R&D department, as Tom is currently affiliated with the department.

But Tom refused him and drove away alone.

This further confirms everyone's speculation that Tom indeed has something on his mind.

Tom naturally went to the R&D department first to check on Yue Zhenghui's situation in the laboratory, but surprisingly, Zhang Guxing was also there, still drinking coffee with a panda eye, clearly staying up late again.

Tomner is bored, everyone has been caught, and it won't be much in the short term. Why bother fighting so hard?

However, Zhang Guxing said that Yue Zhenghui's condition was not very good. His body had already deteriorated yesterday afternoon, and researchers determined that he might not be able to endure tonight and lose his sanity. So Zhang Guxing needs to rush to obtain as many confessions as possible while Yue Zhenghui is still rational.

"What's wrong with the good situation?" Tom said and ran to ask the staff.

The staff expressed that they were not clear. The frequency of Yue Zhenghui's emotional outburst became increasingly frequent, and his wakefulness time became shorter. Last night, they believed that Yue Zhenghui could not survive this evening, but after one night, the situation worsened, and it is estimated that he will completely lose his sanity after noon.

This situation caught everyone off guard. Zhang Guxing and Bai Sifei's research team were all vying for time, and every time Yue Zhenghui regained consciousness was precious to them. On one hand, it is necessary to grasp Yue Zhenghui's situation as much as possible and improve the details of the entire case as much as possible; On the other hand, we want to conduct more feedback experiments on mutated individuals and quickly understand how their abilities are being utilized.

There was a dispute between the two sides over Yue Zhenghui's "right to use" for a while, but this is the territory of the R&D department, and Zhang Guxing really cannot take the initiative. After Tom arrived, he saw hope and wanted Tom to buy him more interrogation time.

"What are the doubts about this case?"

Zhang Guxing glanced at Yue Zhenghui roaring in the glass room and said, "I went to investigate the matter of the Self Strengthening Association, but encountered obstacles. Most of the members of the Self Strengthening Association are survivors of the old settlement, and their leader is named Ni Peiyun."

Tom was taken aback and said, "Ni Peiyun?"

"Well, I know she used to work as a senior executive in a state-owned enterprise before the disaster. After entering a shelter, she owed money and worked as a servant at Yuan Feixing's home. But a while ago, she somehow joined the Self Strengthening Association and became its president. This time, the survivors of the old settlement were able to migrate smoothly, thanks to her as the president of the Self Strengthening Association."

Tom nodded and said that the time they went to inquire about Ni Peiyun's sister's whereabouts was when they went to the old settlement. At that time, Ni Peiyun was exercising in a tin house, and it seemed that Liu Lian felt that it was like a church and not like a gym for no reason. This Self Strengthening Society is probably a religious group, and the various slogans related to Darwin's theory of evolution posted in their church are probably the purpose and slogan of this Self Strengthening Society.

"Assistant Bai Tingting warned me that self-improvement will be very friendly and peaceful. I have just completed the relocation and haven't completely dispersed yet. It will take some time to differentiate, so try not to stimulate them as much as possible. Let my people be polite when investigating. So..." Zhang Guxing said with a headache, "self-improvement will be too perfunctory there, and my people won't be able to get any clues. Who told Yue Zhenghui that eating crystals may not turn into zombies, and we can't find the source. The source of the crystals swallowed by Yue Zhenghui is also very suspicious."

"How suspicious?"

"He is an alcoholic, a poor and destitute drunkard. If he had hidden crystals before leaving, he would have gone to the black market to exchange contribution tickets long ago, and it is impossible to keep them for later consumption. This must have been obtained from other channels, combined with revealing to him the method of swallowing crystals, I suspect someone deliberately used him for experiments."

"Is there another way?" Tom was taken aback. He remembered that Deng Xinlai, who had fought him last in Longyao's home, had retained his rationality. Wen Sitian repeatedly mentioned that Deng Xinlai's time for medicinal effects was not enough, and he could only be cured by returning to the Garden of Eden. It is believed that Deng Xinlai's method of swallowing crystals at that time was also provided by Wen Sitian.

"Well, combined with the fact that Wen Yikui, who looks the same as Wen Sitian from the Darwin Order, is in our shelter, I suspect that Yue Zhenghui's mutation was driven by this woman. Starting from the method of taking it and the source of the crystal, we should be able to figure out the origin of Wen Yikui. Currently, the shelter has been fully investigated and there is no trace of her, as if she has evaporated."

Tom frowned and said, "The mutated Yuanbao Chicken, the mutated Yue Zhenghui, may indeed have been caused by Wen Yiku's destruction. But the Yuanbao Chicken is to assassinate Mr. Shen, so what is Yue Zhenghui doing? To cause chaos in the shelter?"

"Even a strong fortress cannot withstand internal attacks. Perhaps Wen Yigu's purpose in infiltrating is to cause destruction. Think about what would happen if there were hundreds of people mutating in the shelter? Thousands... tens of thousands?"

Tom's childhood wandering life developed a habit of being prepared for danger. He agreed with Zhang Guxing's concerns, so he coordinated with the leader of the research group responsible for studying Yue Zhenghui and bought him more time.

Watching Yue Zhenghui frantically hitting the glass inside the glass room, Tom looked at his own hands. He didn't know if he would transform into Yue Zhenghui's appearance, at least for now he didn't have such signs.

Thinking of this, he walked up to the computer again and began to check the surveillance situation from yesterday to today, as well as the research records of the staff.

After watching for a while, suddenly a staff member came over and said that the members of his male ant armor assembly team were looking for him. They said that some of the materials and accessories he had applied for had arrived, and asked him to go back and take charge. Tom suddenly remembered that he had another important task to do, which was to adjust the male ant armor and provide support for the expedition team searching for his sister.

"Yeah, sister, I still have a sister to take care of."

Tom was about to leave when he heard the staff say, "The mutant finally woke up."

He turned around and saw that Yue Zhenghui had indeed stopped roaring, sat on the ground panting, and then looked around aimlessly.

Tom quickly went out and arrived at the stairwell. The assistant of the work group was stopped at the stairwell and could not enter. He had to go over and explain to the other party to check and put it away first, and he would go down later.

It's rare that Yue Zhenghui has regained consciousness. He needs to go and take a look. Maybe next time we see each other, he'll be a zombie without reason.

Returning to the laboratory, I saw that the researchers were rushing to communicate with Yue Zhenghui, hoping that the other party would cooperate in using their abilities, making it easier for the monitor to record the situation.

However, this time Yue Zhenghui sorted his hair and sat cross legged on the floor in silence, without responding to any words from the researchers.

This side doesn't work, naturally it's Zhang Guxing's turn to take action. Zhang Guxing started talking to Yue Zhenghui inside through the microphone, hoping to communicate with him.

However, Yue Zhenghui shook his head and looked around, then his gaze fell on Tom. He stood up and walked to the glass, staring at Tom for a while before finally speaking to the staff.

"What?" Tom was stunned and the other party approached him.

Zhang Guxing said, "He said to let you in, he only talks to you."

Tom wanted to escape, and he had a bad premonition, but seeing the hopeful gaze of Zhang Guxing and others, he knew he couldn't.

According to records, the last time Yue Zhenghui was awake was only two minutes, and this time it may be even shorter, which is very likely to be the last time he was awake. So he took a deep breath and walked to the glass door.

The door was opened and he walked in.

He was looking at Yue Zhenghui inside, and Yue Zhenghui was also looking at him, circling around him and looking at him, as if Tom was the one being studied.

"I remember seeing you twice," Yue Zhenghui said calmly, "once at the restaurant, once... um, at the entrance of the elite area. At that time, you... you... you disguised yourself as an electrician."

It seems that Yue Zhenghui's memory is a bit confused, so his speech is not very fluent.

Tom didn't speak. He felt that Yue Zhenghui's sudden search for him was not because he caught him and ate people, but also because he looked like he was eating the hands of Sister Xiang at the time, probably in a semi conscious state.

"It's okay not to answer, let's do it this way." Yue Zhenghui reached out to him, and Tom suddenly stepped back, activating the red crystal he had been carrying with him.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous!" Yue Zhenghui whispered to him as if coaxing a child, "Let's change our way of communication, you understand."

Tom's heart skipped a beat as he thought of a possibility, just like what Lin Meiqi, who was a thousand miles away, had done to him. So he didn't step back and watched as Yue Zhenghui pressed his hand onto his shoulder.

Sure enough, Tom's head was hurt again, and he was pulled into a void, just like the last time we communicated with Lin Meiqi.

Yue Zhenghui floated in mid air, looking at him with half a smile, and spoke softly, "I recognize you. You're like me."
