Compensation

The originally tense atmosphere in the room was intensified by Tom's punch, and the three guards quickly raised their guns at Tom and opened the safety for the first time. That posture, as long as Tom attacks or Bai Sifei gives a command, he will immediately shoot.

Bai Sifei did not give an order, and he hesitated. He saw a killing intent in Tom's eyes, which was the feeling of the little frog being stared at by the snake.

Zhang Guxing quickly stopped in front of him and said, "What do you mean? They're all our own people. Just because an experimental subject died, you have to take action against your colleagues? What does it mean to deal with monsters? The Awakener is a monster? Director Bai, are you sure you want to say that? Think about Mr. Shen, she is also the Awakener."

At Zhang Guxing's words, Bai Sifei became timid. He waved his hand and ordered, "You guys go down first."

The three guards felt relieved and immediately withdrew their guns, locked the safety, and turned around to leave.

"Tom," Zhang Guxing breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the situation ease. "Yue Zhenghui has passed away. His last time he regained his sanity was through contact with you. We hope to know what you have all done, after all, Yue Zhenghui himself is a murderer, let alone a person who ate crystals but still retained his sanity for a long time."

Tom also realized that he seemed to be losing control of his emotions. After learning yesterday that he might be a mutant, he felt conflicted and distressed. In addition, I had a close relationship with Yue Zhenghui just now, which unconsciously infected the other party's pessimistic emotions. When facing Bai Sifei's questioning, the unpleasant feeling of getting along with the person I dislike was amplified, which is why I angrily punched and smashed a hole in the wall.

"I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood and my emotions are a bit out of control. Please prepare a room, and I will tell you everything I know. After all, understanding the situation of the mutated person is also Yue Zhenghui's last wish."

"Last wish?" Bai Sifei and Zhang Guxing didn't quite believe what Tom said.

Tom nodded and recounted the last sentence he conveyed to himself when he suppressed Yue Zhenghui: "Let them study me and cut me into pieces. Let them find a way to deal with monsters like me and avenge me and all the people who died!"

Bai Sifei and Zhang Guxing were both stunned. How could Yue Zhenghui, who had gnawed two living people into a skeleton, have such a last wish?

Zhang Guxing was the first to understand: "The dying of a person is a good thing to say. It seems that the mutated person's desire for human flesh is actually just like that of a drug addict. So let's find a room, and Tom will talk about his communication with Yue Zhenghui. Whether it is the study of the mutated person or the case of his cannibalism, I believe it will be of great help."

Bai Sifei, who was under the steps, naturally did not dwell on what had just happened. After all, at first he did not think about what to do to Tom. Just now, his emotions had also risen, and coupled with his inner hostility towards Tom, it only made the scene stiff.

In an office, Tom told them about being slapped on the shoulder by Yue Zhenghui and then pulled into the other person's spiritual world.

Of course, he must have concealed the fact that Yue Zhenghui discovered that he had also mutated. He only said that he showed him the process of consuming yellow crystals, the mysterious person who provided him with crystals, and the hunger caused by emotional loss caused by great joy and sorrow, which eventually developed into cannibalism.

This largely confirms Zhang Guxing's speculation, but he is somewhat regretful as he did not know the identity of the mysterious person who provided the yellow crystal.

As for Bai Sifei, after obtaining the process of how Yue Zhenghui relies on the crystal nucleus in his stomach to absorb yellow crystals, he also gained direction in the study of the physical functions of mutant humans. The crystal nucleus actually plays a role in storing energy, rather than triggering abilities, which is enough to give Bai Sifei a new idea.

Although Bai Sifei felt that Tom still had some reservations about what he had told him, he had no choice but to take Tom, as Tom was not under the jurisdiction of his research and development department, and the male ant armor research team was only affiliated with the research and development department.

So after obtaining this information, he left without looking back, leaving Zhang Guxing with a big smile.

"Director Bai seems to have been targeting you all along."

Tom nodded and said, "I know."

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Just like Song Ren, it's impossible for everyone to be friendly to me."

"Haha, I like your kind of generosity. People's hearts are the most difficult to figure out. The longer I work as a criminal police officer, the more I can figure out people's hearts, and the more I find them difficult to figure out."

Zhang Guxing went to organize the information, and Tom sat in the room for a while, barely tidying up his messy mood before returning to the laboratory of his male ant armor research group.

The team members were together in twos and threes, some were chatting and farting, while others were still inspecting Tom's male ant armor. Seeing Tom come back, I quickly stood up and nervously looked at him.

Tom checked the list and then assigned them to start replacing parts for the male ant armor. He personally worked on some parts that needed to be modified.

No matter how chaotic his thoughts are, Tom just needs to do something to calm them down, and the same goes for this time.

After being busy for an unknown amount of time, the laboratory unexpectedly quieted down and a pair of long legs stood in front of him. He lifted his head and saw Shen Jiayi dressed in a black suit, with a cold demeanor as if he had seen her for the first time outside the redemption shelter.

Shen Jiayi checked the armor of the male ant and then called him to an office.

"You did a great job, Tom," Shen Jiayi praised. "The live sample of this mutant person is of great significance to the R&D department. If you think of sending him back at the first time, it is enough to prove that my decision to put you in the Eighth Hospital is correct."

Tom's expression was somewhat numb, and he didn't listen to her praise. In his free time now, all he could think about was his own mutation.

"Tom?" Shen Jiayi noticed his daze and patted him, startling him.

"Mr. Shen..."

Shen Jiayi nodded, a rare hint of concern appearing on her iconic cold face. "The R&D department has conducted experiments on mental communication, and the burden of mental communication between humans and animals is relatively small. When people communicate with each other in this way, their mental state can affect each other. Yue Zhenghui is on the brink of mental breakdown, and it is actually dangerous for you to engage in mental communication with him recklessly, but the research team's Pang Xinglong did not stop it. I have already asked Bai Sifei to give him a warning."

Tom was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Pang Xinglong was the person in charge in the laboratory today.

"In the afternoon, I already knew about your mental loss. Take a few days off, adjust your condition, and then continue with the restructuring of the male ant armor. I will have Bai Sifei mobilize a dedicated person to take over."

Tom shook his head and said, "No, I need to do the male ant armor myself. It's okay to give you all the data for the entire process. The Tianlong will depart in two weeks, and I must hurry up."

"Are you sure you can?"

"Sure, Yue Zhenghui has no ill intentions towards me, and his mental state is also very good in the end."

Shen Jiayi nodded and said, "There will be a material transportation task tomorrow, which is to transport the last batch of materials to the industrial station. You can go and adapt to the surrounding environment."

Upon hearing this, Tom's eyes lit up and he quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Shen Jiayi nodded again and said, "That's it, you're busy with it." She walked out of the room without any hesitation.

The mutation left Tom feeling a bit at a loss, but life still had to pass and he could just go out and walk with the team. Compared to the refuge of intertwined interpersonal relationships, he prefers the outside world. Although full of danger, he excels in simplicity and directness, without worrying about being dragged down by others when he doesn't deal with them.

He didn't rush back after work that night, so someone notified Fan Jie on his behalf that he needed to work overtime to catch the ant armor, and asked Fan Jie to tell the others.

The departure date of the Tianlong is approaching, and he must accelerate the repair of the male ant armor. Of course, another reason is that he doesn't know how to face Ouyang Haotian and others. The fact that he is already a mutant has caused him a lot of trouble.

Since the day he woke up from the micro disaster, he has been constantly fighting against the crisis. Faced with mutated ants, even being caught in ant nests, facing dense ant colonies. And the queen ant who attempted to learn human wisdom, as well as the survivor who was devoured, although he was extremely angry at the time, he could still remain calm.

He constantly battles mutated creatures and does not retain any sense of luck.

Mutant organisms are the great enemies of humanity, and as long as they exist, they will be decisively eliminated. Just like Deng Xinlai in Longyao Home, Wen Sitian asked him to duel with Deng Xinlai. After defeating Deng Xinlai, he did not kill him, but after seeing the opponent mutate, he did not hesitate to kill him.

Because in his view, mutated humans are more terrifying than mutated animals.

But now, he suddenly realizes that he is also a mutated person, which almost has a strong impact on his belief in "killing mutated creatures" that he has gradually cultivated since the beginning of the micro disaster.

He was afraid of losing his rationality like Yue Zhenghui and rushing towards his friends like a zombie. So he didn't know how to get along with Ouyang Haotian and others. The framing incident by Song Ren made him cherish these friends who were also in trouble with him even more. He was no longer the solitary wanderer he used to be.

So only by putting all his mind on the ant armor can he temporarily forget these troubles and troubles.

He was busy until 4am that night before finally giving up and finding a corner to curl up and fall into a deep sleep, just like the night when he woke up from a miniature disaster. It's just safe here at least, don't worry about ants coming out and attacking.

At 6:30 in the morning, the alarm clock on the Awakening Watch on his wrist woke him up. At this time, apart from security and cleaning workers, there were relatively few other researchers in the research and development department building, and many people had not yet come to work.

He drove to the Eighth Courtyard to retrieve his portion of Awakener equipment, including the accompanying crystals and firearms, as well as the pair of shields and shapeshifting knives he had made himself.

However, on the 5th, he was called aside, where two soldiers with live ammunition were guarding a large box. A staff member from the R&D department gave him a form to sign for, and he signed it. Only then did the soldiers and staff leave the large box behind.

The other awakeners in the Eighth Courtyard were curious, as this was a highly confidential material delivery process, and they were all watching from a distance without moving forward. Only Zhao Xin, relying on his familiarity with Tom, approached with a smile.

Tom went to unpack the box, and he followed with help. "Advisor An, what's inside here?"

Tom shook his head and the two of them opened the box that had been nailed to death, only to see a silver armor.

"Hiss... a little... familiar... wait... this sign..." Zhao Xin exclaimed incredulously, "this is not..."

Number 5 nodded and said, "Jade Rabbit Type 3 Armor. Currently, there are only two sets of experimental armor for Type 3 Armor. Pan Ruyi, who went to protect the General Manager that day, was allowed to temporarily use Type 2. Type 1 Armor is stored directly in the confidential laboratory of the R&D department, and not even a photo has been leaked. Unexpectedly... it was given to you."

Tom looked at the highly streamlined armor with excitement and said, "This workmanship... is really good. Although it was just lent to me for this mission, it's also good."

"Hehe, it seems that you had a scene with Bai Sifei yesterday. The general manager, in order to appease and praise you, specifically asked Bai Sifei to bring you the Type A Jade Rabbit Three." Number 5 chuckled proudly and whispered, "Well done. That little white faced girl always wants to chase after Miss, so she treated you like a rival in love. Tom, hit him hard in the face to make him understand that toads don't want to eat swan meat."
