In a stream 30km outside Lewenholm,

Due to the erosion of death, the electric carriage, which incorporated the highest technology of the power station, was completely scrapped and was thrown into the woods nearby.

Colorful masks are placed on stones on the bank of the stream,

A woman with short, ear-length dark brown hair was splashing clear river water on her face. Her thin, reddish lips were completely soaked, and there were even a few drops of water on them.

However, no matter how she cleaned it, the red lotus mark under her left eye did not fade at all.

After a brief cleaning, she put on a mask, filled a bucket of clean water with a bucket made of flesh, and walked into the woods nearby.

Yi Chen is lying here to rest,

Although the yellow component fused into the clothing helped to sew the flesh, the continuous use of "death makeup" and the flesh cuts caused by inhaling the black mist made Yi Chen miserable.

Even the regenerative essence of the "black umbilical cord" has been drained.

Yi Chen, who was sitting against the wall, kept vomiting out chopped black internal organs, and blood was oozing from many places on his body.

Reagan squatted aside and used his mental power to help adjust the distribution of internal organs and slow down Yi Chen's injuries.

Seeing the river water brought by Jin, Yi Chen immediately took up the drink and even ate the whole bucket made of meat. After simple absorption, all the water and meat swallowed into the body flowed to the "black umbilical cord"

, finally made Yi Chen calm down.

"Huh~ I really thought I would die there. Although Lotson's betrayal was within my scope of consideration, the sudden attack of Vice Dean Evatt was unexpected.

As expected, my consideration was not thorough enough, so I won’t be so reluctant next time.”

After listening to Yi Chen's relevant narration, Reagan was also quite shocked, "Being able to kill the vice-dean at a human level, if this news is reported back to Zion, the top management will probably be alarmed."

"I'm just lucky. The death trait I possess is just enough to restrain the deputy dean who just became the deceased. Moreover, he is also a sensory type, so he is weak in terms of offense and lethality.

If any Transcendent were to deal with me, I would most likely not be able to defeat him.

I didn’t expect that Lewenholm’s death would eventually turn out like this. Let’s go back and see what the organization said.”

Yi Chen got up, and the three of them had to walk back to the city.

Jin didn't say much and carried the half-ton headless horseman as requested by Yi Chen.

After hearing about Barry's experience, they could understand why Yi Chen insisted on taking the body back.

Looking at Jin Run's back at the front of the team, Yi Chen felt a little different from before.

Although the madness that was once mixed in her bones has not diminished, she has some extra things to suppress the madness.

Finally, Yi Chen couldn't help but ask in advance: "Jin, what did you experience in the old world? Why did it take so long to come back from there?"

"Because the old world can provide a better place for breakthrough, so just wait until you complete the ultimate breakthrough and then come back. By the way, I can give you a big surprise, right?

Two hours after we separated, a 'messenger' from the depths of the old world came to pick me up.

After confirming that they had no malicious intent, I was taken to a special place called [Cancer Palace].

According to the introduction of the envoy, the Cancer Palace can be regarded as the largest [epidemic area] in the old world. Even in the dead world, the restrictions on the Cancer Palace are the smallest.

Those guys are pretty interesting to live in there.

Moreover, I also met a ‘master’. The red lotus cultivated and carved by her was extremely perfect. Her strength could even easily destroy an organization like Zion.

Under her guidance, I passed the special examination of Cancer Palace and got a [relic] that satisfies my current stage."

"Cancer Palace...Jin, haven't you considered staying there?"

"I have considered it, but all things considered, it is better to come back. After all, the old world has been completely blocked and even dead. Many things cannot be done. Even my master suggested that I continue to use my human identity to live here as much as possible.

When the gray area completely expands to every corner of the world, [Cancer Palace] will also move part of it and occupy a place here. I will just go there when the time comes.

By the way! The Cancer Palace is very interesting, I will take you there to see it next time I have a chance."

"Okay, by the way, what is your relic?"

"'Swollen Lotus Heart' is a relic that perfectly matches my dual attributes of [Coordination] and [Induction], and it can also act on red lotus... But Master specially selected it for me."

"It seems that it really suits you."

Jin's performance at the Sunshine Hotel was noticed by Yi Chen. Her speed, sensing, and especially killing power were greatly improved, and she was able to overpower Lotson in just the first encounter.

"What about you, Reagan? There should be a lot of opportunities in the old world, right?"

Yi Chen changed the topic to Reagan.

Reagan, who was already a monster, became even more abnormal after this breakthrough. He completely crushed Lotson and killed him, leaving the opponent without even a chance to escape.

Reagan scratched his cheek slightly with his fingers.

"Well...actually, I also want to say it.

It’s just that the things I came into contact with in the old world planted a kind of ‘sealing’ disease in my consciousness. Once I talk about ‘them’, the disease will sprout and disrupt my consciousness.”

"Still like this?"

“There’s no way those guys treat ‘participants’ like this, because they really need to hide their identities.

The only thing I can reveal is that they are like a bunch of mentally ill people, and I barely passed the mental test before I received their relics as a gift, which is somewhat similar to Jin's experience.

But it only took me one day, and I quit immediately after getting the relic.

What about you, William?

Among the three of us, I was the only one who left the old world within a limited time. I had been waiting at the entrance of the [passage] for a full week, but the person who came out of it was a 'pretender'.

Both the monitor and I couldn't take down the silver-haired young man. I was even mentally affected by illusions. What a scary guy."

Facing Reagan's questions, Yi Chen had no choice but to explain the whole process of his encounter with Lorian.

When he heard that Lorian had been living in Yi Chen's body and that the two had shared adventures in the old world, Jin, who was walking at the front, was slightly stunned.

"That guy named Lorian is very powerful, isn't he?" Jin asked a question.

"It's very strong and its growth rate is not slower than ours. Even if the three of us join forces, we may not be able to defeat them."

"It's really interesting. I didn't expect you, William, to know such [Patient Zero]. I hope I have the opportunity to meet him in the future."

The simple exchange ended. It turned out that it was a wise decision for the three of them to explore separately in the old world. Everyone has extraordinary opportunities.

Not only did Yi Chen come into contact with big figures like the Duke, Jin and Reagan also came into contact with large forces within the old world, and even established certain bonds. Such relationships will play an important role when the gray realm is completely filled.

unconsciously,

The three of them had arrived at the foot of the mountain where the city of Zion is located. Just as they were about to go up the mountain,

A group of special gentlemen wrapped in biochemical suits and breathing masks surrounded them.

"Anyone related to Lewenholm needs to undergo unified isolation before returning to Zion. Only after it is confirmed that you do not carry any deadly disease factors on your body can you return to the city normally.

Please come with us."

"Oh...the guys from the disease control center."

Jin recognized the costumes of this group of people at a glance, because half of this group of people were from Gethsemane, and they were considered an alternative group of executioners.

Under the leadership of this group of people, the three of them were led into the hidden secret passage at the foot of the mountain.

By sniffing the scent in the passage, it can be determined that other escapees are also concentrated here.
