Chapter 1264: Discovered Disguise

Ning Chen injected all the serum into Xu Chenchen's wrist, then watched his changes.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes...

Everyone sat on the sofa, waiting for Xu Chenchen's changes.

Yet, three hours passed, and everyone had been watching Xu Chenchen for those three hours.

Xu Chenchen, initially embarrassed by the staring, gradually grew accustomed to it, and now could even meet everyone's gaze.

What is going on? Why hasn't the medicine taken effect yet?!

Lin Yi came to Xu Chenchen's side, pinched his shoulder, then poked his face: "What's the situation? Could all these medicines be fake?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Chen narrowed his eyes; this possibility was not impossible.

After all, all the infected are not static; they gradually undergo changes.

This serum might have initially been able to resist the infected's transformation, but that was only against low-level infected.

Now, the infected have undergone various evolutions, divided into low, medium, and high levels; even high-level infected possess self-awareness.

Too much time has passed; Ning Chen directly gave Xiao Han a look, and the latter understood, releasing his ability.

Green light surrounded Xu Chenchen's entire body, examining every part of his body clearly.

After finishing all examinations, Xiao Han drew a conclusion: this serum had no effect whatsoever on Xu Chenchen.

If that is the case, then this serum likely has no effect on other infected either.

However, this is interesting.

Ning Chen did not believe these researchers were unaware that this serum might be ineffective.

It seems these top-level experimenters have reached a point where they are helpless yet cannot abandon the experiments.

That makes sense; after all, the antidote is useless now, so they can only keep experimenting, gambling that it will succeed.

Suddenly, Ning Chen sensed something wrong; it seemed people surrounded them. Just now, Ning Chen, fully focused on Xu Chenchen's condition, had not noticed the change around them.

Ning Chen made no move; since the other side could lock onto them so quickly, it meant Xu Chenchen's situation had been exposed long ago.

"Just change back," Ning Chen said, looking at Xu Chenchen.

Though he did not know why, Xu Chenchen still followed Ning Chen's words and changed his appearance back to his own.

Shortly after, many people in white coats burst in from outside, some even holding guns.

These guns made Noah, as a soldier, sharpen his gaze.

In the apocalypse, guns are consumables; in fact, the entire survivor base probably could not gather ten guns. Such firearms have always been extremely precious.

Yet these people not only had them but had so many; it was clear they lacked no guns.

Shortly after, Lin Xiaoling's parents walked in from outside. Upon seeing Ning Chen and the others, they showed no surprise, not even at their daughter's disappearance.

"We hope you will accompany us," Lin Xiaoling's parents said coldly, entirely businesslike.

Mu Xinruan bit her lip, looked at them, and could not help asking, "Why? Are you not even curious about your daughter?"

Lin Xiaoling's parents looked at Mu Xinruan, sized her up and down, then Lin Xiaoling's mother spoke: "Since you are here, it means her mission failed."

Mu Xinruan was furious; mission? In their eyes, Lin Xiaoling was merely a mission?!

Others might not know, but Mu Xinruan knew that growing up, Lin Xiaoling missed her parents greatly; at that time, she only thought Lin Xiaoling missed her deceased parents.

Now, Lin Xiaoling's parents were clearly still alive, yet they treated Lin Xiaoling only as a mission, which made Mu Xinruan extremely angry.

"She abandoned years of our friendship just to complete this mission and return to you, but what about you? You treat her merely as a tool! Do you have no hearts!"

Mu Xinruan vented fiercely; actually, it was not solely because of Lin Xiaoling's parents' coldness, but more because of sorrow; her years of bond with Lin Xiaoling was not even worth as much as exploitation.

Lin Xiaoling's father beckoned to a person nearby; a man holding a syringe stepped out, approaching Mu Xinruan.

Mu Mu immediately shielded the person behind her, watching the other side warily.

"Everyone need not be nervous; this is just a sedative. This Young Lady's emotions are too volatile; we wish to help her."

The woman spoke, explaining, with a tone that still carried an air of justification.

"My sister does not need this thing," Mu Mu said, pushing Mu Xinruan to the center, shielding her among everyone.

Seeing this, the woman said no more and looked at Ning Chen.

"We would like to ask you all to come with us."

"Reason," Ning Chen said, not even lifting his eyes, uttering only two words.

Yet, the woman strangely felt a heavy pressure radiating from Ning Chen.

"Of course, as compensation, you can also obtain what you desire, including the parents of these two Mr. and Ms."

Upon hearing mention of their parents, Xu Chenchen immediately looked at the woman, staring at her fiercely.

After about five minutes, Ning Chen stood up and signaled the woman to lead the way.

Lin Xiaoling's parents led everyone onto a jeep, which drove straight toward the center.

The entire experimental base was larger than imagined; the jeep drove for half an hour before reaching the center.

The jeep stopped; outside, numerous experimental personnel in white clothes were already surrounding the area.
