Chapter 464: Heavenly Disaster Strikes Mei Weisi

In agreement with the locals, they cheerfully discuss the grand plan for Grinding Monsters, yet Mei Weisi still doesn't know that a storm is sweeping toward her with her as its target.

She doesn't have to wait for the storm to strike; disaster is already upon her.

The virus that was ravaging the interior of Heavenly Dome City wasn't particularly hard to deal with, but since it involved Aberrant Species, everyone knows that the most dangerous and change‑prone thing in these times is Mutation.

Coincidentally, Mei Weisi happens to be an expert in this field, especially in handling toxins.

Thus, someone from the Field Operations Department contacted Mei Weisi, and coincidentally the deputy head of their Mutation Department had just been confined to a small black room in the Field Operations Department, so Mei Weisi was dispatched there by Fang Zhiyan.

However, because it's her familiar domain, it wasn't a difficult task for her; the people here have already begun basic medical work, and bringing her over is only to prevent Mutation Out of Control that could cause the virus to further mutate.

As it turned out, the virus hadn't mutated yet; instead, the communication device was the first to undergo Mutation.

After this criminal proclamation, Mei Weisi's first reaction was: their junior deputy minister is again causing trouble outside under the banner of Co‑Absorption?

But thinking it over, there doesn't seem to be that necessity; whatever the matter is, does Ying Duo really need to go around such a big circle?

That statement too is just the general public's view of Co‑Absorption; it feels more like a copycat.

After figuring it out, Mei Weisi didn't let the matter bother her.

She knows that lately Fang Zhiyan will definitely give Bai Mu Yun many tasks, and it certainly won't fall to her to handle.

Mei Weisi placed the communication device on the desk, conveniently pressing down the unfinished report.

"Don't worry," Mei Weisi lifted her head and gave a soothing smile to the junior nurse beside her, "the Dome will take care of everything."

The junior nurse promptly nodded in agreement; living in this city sheltered by the Dome, they naturally have ample trust in the Dome.

Just a petty Co‑Absorption cultist.

Mei Weisi no longer wanted to write these troublesome reports, so she simply shoved it into the file and handed it to the junior nurse, asking her to forward it.

Anyway, she was just here to check the situation; compared to staying, she'd rather go back and catch up with Bai Mu Yun, learn about the newcomer, or else she might never get another chance.

Actually, she quite likes Bai Mu Yun.

After all, he's a rare normal person in the Mutation Department, but unfortunately, a normal person appearing in the Mutation Department is never a good thing.

Mei Weisi's smile faded the instant the door closed; she slipped the communication device into her pocket, stood up, and walked to the window to stretch.

Outside the window was the inner courtyard of the Dome‑affiliated hospital, where several centuries‑old phoenix trees stood, their leaves already turning yellow.

Behind the trees was a parking lot, holding several ambulances and official vehicles, with one convoy particularly conspicuous.

The people inside were probably already inside the hospital, leaving only a few men in black suits guarding near the vehicles.

Each of those men was tall and broad‑shouldered, wearing a bow tie at the collar, with earpieces on their ears.

Are they from the Intelligence Department?

Field Operations Department personnel often wear combat gear due to frequent missions, but the Intelligence Department is uniformly dressed in black suits.

Mei Weisi stared for two seconds, then turned away from the window; she put on the wide‑brimmed sun hat from the desk, knowing that Bai Mu Yun dislikes waiting for people, but she dislikes being late even more.

She passed the nurse station, where the junior nurse looked up and smiled at her; she returned the smile, her high heels clicking thud‑thud‑thud on the smooth floor.

Suddenly, her steps halted.

At the far end of the corridor, a row of men in black suits stood, exactly blocking Mei Weisi's only exit from the hospital.

"Miss Mei Weisi Wensha?" the man stepped forward to block her path; although he was confirming, it felt as if he had been watching her for a while.

"That's me," Mei Weisi replied, her smile still beautiful yet tinged with danger.

The man pulled an ID from his pocket and held it up before her.

"I'm Minister Xie's assistant; Minister Xie wishes to see you for a moment."

……This isn't good news.

Minister Xie Jingnian of the Intelligence Department, although compared with Field Operations Department's Han Huan and their minister Fang Zhiyan, often appears like a transparent person, the more so, the scarier it is.

Intelligence itself is a means of killing without a trace.

"Of course, it's my honor."

Mei Weisi outwardly appeared flattered, but her heart gradually sank.

Could it be that the Field Operations Department and Intelligence Department are colluding to strike at the Mutation Department?

"Please." True to being the assistant to the Intelligence Department minister, the man's gesture was gentlemanly and polite; rather than a threat, it felt like an invitation for Mei Weisi to attend a banquet.

Hongmen Banquet.

——————————————

"Didn't you say there were two Field Operations Department people following her?"

Minister Xie Jingnian sat beside the hospital bed and asked in a low voice.

He clasped his hands together and rested them on his head, losing the aura of a superior before subordinates, gaining instead a hint of decadence.

He is undoubtedly a successful professional, yet he is also a failed father.

Minister Xie Jingnian lost his wife due to his past mistakes, and now his daughter is once again caught in the same danger.

"I am sorry, Minister."

Xiao Huiyu lowered her head; her lips remained pale, and although there had been slight improvement, getting out of bed was still a difficult task for her.

She was placed by Minister Xie Jingnian beside Xie Jingyan, not only as Jingyan's teammate but primarily for protection duties.

"No, this can't be blamed on you."

Minister Xie Jingnian shook his head; he knew Xiao Huiyu had already done her best.

After almost severing ties with him, Xie Jingyan naturally refused all his assistance; to keep her from being drawn into the Dome's disputes, he couldn't openly assign many bodyguards.

Xiao Huiyu was under great pressure; she was a brilliant genius, yet she willingly stayed by Xie Jingyan's side as a dim green leaf.

And Xie Jingyan tacitly accepted her staying, no longer seeing her merely as a bodyguard; she was her friend, teammate, and most compatible partner.

Not to mention, Xiao Huiyu had already blocked that crucial blow for her.

Minister Xie Jingnian knew that this disappearance of Xie Jingyan was likely the group's remedial action for their earlier failed attack on her.

Because it was sudden, it was bound to expose more flaws.

He brought those two men from the Field Operations Department, and they have no chance of being drawn into the Dome dispute; hopefully they can protect Xie Jingyan well.

"Dong dong dong—" the knocking sounded, and a man in a black suit came.

"Minister, the person has already been brought over."

Xie Jingnian stood up, and once again became that overwhelmingly powerful Intelligence Department Minister.

"You rest well; I will bring her back."
