Ye Xingchen’s sudden arrival made Lin Pei happy for a moment, but soon, he panicked again.
His first reaction was that someone as powerful as Ye Xingchen might have a way to save him, but very quickly, Lin Pei suddenly realized that his current appearance seemed to be no different from those people who had lost their minds and went around biting people.
Those strange people had bloodshot eyes, and Lin Pei didn’t know when it started, but one of his eyes had also turned scarlet.
He was afraid that Ye Xingchen would kill him if he saw him like this.
“No, I, I’m not. Brother Ye, please don’t kill me.”
Lin Pei cowered and hid in the corner of the room, but when he got up in a panic, Ye Xingchen had already discovered that Lin Pei was different from ordinary people.
His eyes started to turn red as if he had been infected with the virus.
However, Ye Xingchen also saw clearly that only one of Lin Pei’s eyes was red, but the other eye was still dark brown with no change.
“What’s going on?”
Ye Xingchen frowned. He reached out and closed the door that he had just opened.
After all, every room here was made of the same alloy, so the soundproofing effect was very good. Moreover, it was indeed very quiet when Lin Pei lived inside, which led to Ye Xingchen not knowing that Lin Pei was actually living under his nose for so many days.
“He’s also infected, but his condition is different from other infected people.” Seeing Ye Xingchen close the door, Lin Sijia followed suit and locked the door. Previously, Ye Xingchen had taken out a sack of things from the supermarket for Lin Sijia and asked her to distribute them. Therefore, Lin Sijia usually distributed some food to Lin Pei.
“I’ve studied him before and asked him about his situation. He said that he didn’t know why he lost interest when he saw these packaged foods. They were clearly his favorite foods in the past.”
“And he said that he didn’t really like meat before. He only liked vegetables and staple foods, but now he inexplicably wants to eat meat very much, and he wants to eat raw meat.”
“I saw that there was quite a lot of frozen meat in the big sack you gave me, so 1 gave him some. In the end, he really ate it raw. He didn’t even touch the packaged food.”
Ye Xingchen listened to Lin Sijia’s words thoughtfully. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the leader of the mutants who led a large group of mutants that day.
Could Lin Pei’s situation be the same as that leader?
Ye Xingchen suddenly thought of a possibility. If Lin Pei’s situation was the same as the leader’s, did that mean that Lin Pei might be able to control or command these mutants?!
Ye Xingchen’s eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn’t wait to bring Lin Pei out and give it a try.
“I have an idea, but I don’t know if it’s feasible. 1 need your help, Little Jia.”
Ye Xingchen wanted to bring Lin Pei out to test it out, but before this, Ye Xingchen was not familiar with Lin Pei at all, so Lin Sijia still needed to talk to Lin Pei. Moreover, when Ye Xingchen went out, he would definitely bring Mo Qi, the humanoid weapon.
“When you convince Lin Pei, help check out Mo Qi too.”
After all, he was looking for trouble, so he definitely had to ensure his safety.
Lin Pei was not Ye Xingchen’s friend or relative. Ye Xingchen only knew that he was an outsider. After observing him for a few days and finding that he was not a thief, he gave him to Zhao Hao. Therefore, Ye Xingchen actually did not care if Lin Pei died or not.
If Lin Pei was useful to him, then Ye Xingchen naturally hoped that Lin Pei would have a life.
However, if Lin Pei was useless to him, then dying like this would also be considered as confirming Ye Xingchen’s guess. Ye Xingchen would also think of him as a good person, but that was the most he could do.
After all, Ye Xingchen didn’t have the leisure to care about the life and death of someone he didn’t know.
Lin Pei was suddenly enlightened. He knew that he would not be able to live for long with the changes in his body. Even if he was not killed, he would not be able to live for long.
Of course, he was afraid. At first, he was afraid of death, but later on, when he ate the first bite of raw meat, he was surprised and relieved. He suddenly wasn’t so afraid of death. Instead of becoming such a terrifying monster, he might as well put some poison in his food and die.
That was what he thought, but everyone was afraid of death. Therefore, when Lin Sijia came to tell Lin Pei, he hesitated for a long time.
However, in the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Lin Sijia’s request.
Although Lin Pei had not been here for very long, he had also seen Ye Xingchen’s methods.
Ye Xingchen saved him, but at the same time, he could also kill him. If it was as Ye Xingchen said, then when he ran into the group of mutants, the chances of survival might be higher than rejecting Ye Xingchen.
It could be like what Ye Xingchen said. They could smell their own kind and would treat him as their own kind.
At this point, Lin Pei was even more confused.
He knew that he was definitely not a normal person now, but he also felt that he was different from those mutated monsters. Now, even he himself did not know what he was.
Soon, Ye Xingchen brought Lin Pei out.
This time, Mo Qi sat back to back with Ye Xingchen, while Lin Pei was moved along by Ye Xingchen who tied a board behind him with a rope, with Lin Pei holding onto the board tightly.
Of course, Ye Xingchen wouldn’t let Lin Pei sit on the same snowmobile as him.
The snowmobile was only so big. Ye Xingchen didn’t want Lin Pei to open his mouth and bite him at any time, even if Lin Pei was wearing the half-face iron mask that he had taken out from the space.
There were many people on the road, but everyone was busy with their own things. Even if Ye Xingchen drove a snowmobile past them, they would only look up a few more times.
After a while, Ye Xingchen finally found a few mutants who were scattered around the city.
Ye Xingchen didn’t know if the large group from before had been scattered or had already moved to another place. What Ye Xingchen wanted to know the most at this moment was whether his guess was correct.
Ye Xingchen whispered the word ‘push,’ and Mo Qi acted as if she had received an order. She swiftly snapped the rope tied to the snowmobile..
