…

…

…

Blood was sprayed by tremendous pressure to the roof of the shed, then spattered back down to the ground, crackling, making a chilling sound.

Bai Xiong saw the fleeting afterimage dash by, he also saw the flash of cold light at the horrifying cut.

So, in the instant that the crimson spray gushed out, his gun barrel had already aimed at the figure moving so fast it surpassed the limits of human vision.

Emaciated!

This was the first thought that came to everyone who saw her: her slender arms, her waist that seemed too fragile to grasp, and her legs that should not have had such strength, all became disturbingly delicate wrapped in the leather corset. Like withered wood in a swamp, dry and rigidly placed there.

Bai Xiong definitely knew this person, whether it was the figure, the short hair, the dagger, or the cold breeze that had just followed, all were highly distinctive.

Her name was Song Xuan, a C-level field agent stationed in K city. Because she didn’t join any team and didn’t interact much with others, many people had seen her only occasionally, and most of the time they would forget her existence.

But after the last “Dark Realm” mission, Bai Xiong had found her file in the Foundation’s internal system…

He knew, her identity as a C-level field agent was just a front.

…

At this moment, she was standing with her back to Bai Xiong, her short hair still fluttering from her recent swift movement, the skin on her neck showing a deathly pale color, her arms hanging naturally at her sides, her left hand holding a seemingly ordinary dagger, a few drops of fresh blood trickling down the blade.

An eerily quiet two seconds passed until the “human fountain” beside Bai Xiong finally ran out of blood and collapsed to the ground with a “clank.” Only then did Song Xuan finally turn her head and glance behind her with the corner of her eye, slowly raising the dagger in her hand to shoulder level.

Bai Xiong knew that her movement was meant to show him her weapon.

That is to say, she was indicating that she had no ill intentions.

Indeed, she was the first to speak.

“I’ll turn around slowly…” she said faintly, her voice carrying an undercurrent of chill.

Bai Xiong didn’t speak, giving his tacit approval, but he did not move his gun barrel away and remained extremely cautious, not even blinking.

Because he knew, this seemingly fragile woman was almost certainly the most dangerous individual in the entire Institute of Abnormal Research of K city.

Song Xuan slowly turned around.

This was the first time Bai Xiong truly saw her face. Her features were prettier than the average woman’s, but her excessive slenderness marred the overall beauty. Her brows were somewhat sharp, giving off a vibe of keeping people at a great distance.

Seeing that Bai Xiong was still cautiously pointing his gun at her, she said coldly, “I know you’re puzzled, and frankly, so am I, but if you keep this up, in five minutes, we’ll both be dead here!”

Bai Xiong frowned, he of course knew the other party had no hostility, otherwise that cut just now would have been aimed at him.

So he hesitated for a second before putting down the gun and asked calmly, “What happened?”

Song Xuan did not answer the question. She adeptly slipped the dagger into her waistband and asked directly, “Do you have any hemostatic spray?”

Bai Xiong was momentarily stunned, because all his attention had been focused on her shoulder and hands, and he hadn’t noticed anything else. It was only when his gaze shifted downward that he saw a huge wound on the outside of her calf where the flesh had been turned inside out, obviously the result of being hit by an explosive bullet.

“Can she still maintain such a frightening speed with that kind of injury?” Bai Xiong wondered to himself. Then he shook his head.

It was clear that Song Xuan had already figured that he didn’t have any medical supplies with him, since he was clutching a scalpel, which indicated that even his weapon had just been found. Thus, she showed no sign of disappointment and swiftly moved to a nearby medical equipment shelf, rummaging through a stack of medical trays to find a pair of tweezers and some gauze.

“I don’t know what happened either, but it seems like everyone has… gone mad!” she said indifferently and then with a light slice of the dagger in her hand, she cut open the tight combat suit on her leg. Immediately after, she picked up the tweezers and plunged them straight into her wound with a “plop.”

A few faint sounds of flesh being torn and a blade stirring through blood could be heard, which alone was enough to convey the pain those actions must have caused, yet Song Xuan’s expression didn’t change a bit. With a twist of her wrist, a stream of fresh blood squirted out and with a “clang,” a bullet was gouged out and thrown onto the ground.

Witnessing her actions, Bai Xiong’s frown deepened. It wasn’t because of her direct way of removing the bullet, nor her almost complete disregard for pain, but what concerned him was that despite the impact of the bullet, her bones seemed to have not sustained much damage…

“Gone mad… what do you mean?” Bai Xiong asked in confusion.

By this time, Song Xuan had skillfully balled up the gauze and stuffed it into the bullet hole.

“I’m just as clueless as you, so everything I’m saying is just my personal speculation,” she continued, wrapping gauze around the wound in her leg while speaking indifferently. “About two hours ago… maybe even earlier, people here began to change! They became… very strange, exhibiting bizarre behavior, like pointless screaming or laughing, then dancing around, attacking each other or self-harming… I don’t even know how to describe those people… In any case, they were like… a bunch of lunatics…”

She went on, pausing briefly a few times, as if searching for the right words to clearly express what she wanted to say.

Bai Xiong remained silent. After listening to her narrative, a very unpleasant premonition flashed through his mind. He thought of the driver on his way back here, who seemed to have been rendered unable to drive steadily by some joke, and then he remembered the medical worker and the extreme, bizarre expression on the face of the first guard before death.

“Lunatics…” Bai Xiong repeated silently in his mind. The bad premonition grew stronger, especially since he happened to know a madman… who was with him on a mission just a few hours before.

Of course, Bai Xiong would definitely not reveal his thoughts at that moment.

…

…

At that moment, Song Xuan had also finished bandaging and straightened up, stamping her foot as if nothing was amiss.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she took out her phone.

“I was on the first floor just now, close to the surveillance area, so I went to take a look. I noticed something very concerning in the recordings,” she said while swiping on her phone a few times.

“This bizarre behavior

…

seems like… it’s contagious!”
