Chapter 325: Whispers

Ye Cang said nothing after listening.

And Liu Chuang said nothing after he finished speaking.

Not until they reached the door of Qing Long's quarters did Ye Cang say, "Selective infection."

"This situation is truly troublesome."

Kaisha nodded.

Subsequently, Ye Cang walked into the quarters.

At this moment, Qing Long was lying on the bed with an ice pack cold-compressing his forehead.

Seeing Ye Cang arrive, Qing Long was about to get up to salute.

But he was pressed down by Ye Cang.

"Rest first; your body is the most important thing."

"I came over this time because I read the reports of you four, which said that some people have persistent high fevers, so I came to understand the specific situation."

"Also, do you know about the situation with Qi Lin?"

Lying on the bed, Qing Long thought for a moment and replied, "The situation with Qi Lin is about the same as mine; there are also people with fevers, and quite a lot of people have them."

"Furthermore, he is also running a fever; it's not just Qi Lin and Bai Hu, the others are in this state as well."

"As for exactly when the fever appeared, it was ten days ago. Suddenly, a soldier had a fever, and we didn't take it seriously, so we sent him to the infirmary. Who knew it would suddenly become this serious?"

"Have you undergone treatment, and how do you feel your current state is?" Ye Cang asked again.

"Of course we treated it, but standard medicine simply has no effect. You are aware of this too; we are all Super Soldiers," Qing Long answered truthfully.

"There was no other way, so we could only use physical cooling, like the ice pack on my head, or use alcohol. As for the effect, it helps a little bit."

"Regarding the fever state, honestly, I feel my current state is very strange. Aside from the high fever, there are no other problems. It's not like I have no strength all over or no appetite or anything like that; it's just that my body temperature is a bit high."

Ye Cang fell into thought upon hearing these words from Qing Long.

A fever that doesn't affect anything else, just a simple rise in body temperature.

This is a bit strange.

And it is a selective fever for people.

After thinking about this, Ye Cang directly conjured a set of blood-drawing equipment with his hands.

He personally drew a tube of blood from Qing Long.

Then he turned and said to Kaisha, "Kaisha, take this tube of blood to the refrigerator in my office."

"Then, put on a hazmat suit, draw a tube of blood from all the soldiers in the Qinglong Legion who have fevers, and then find a few who don't have fevers and draw a tube from them too. Remember to categorize them for me."

"Understood!" Kaisha didn't say anything more, directly spread her small wings, and left this place.

As for Ye Cang, after saying a few more words to Qing Long, he headed to other legions to check the situation.

After a round of inspections, the situation in the other 4 legions was about the same as that of the Qinglong Legion.

Some soldiers had high fevers, but this high fever did not affect anything else; it only caused their body temperature to rise.

This made Ye Cang even more puzzled.

What exactly is going on?

They are all running a fever together, and even the symptoms are the same.

So Ye Cang drew blood from all the feverish soldiers in the other 4 legions.

Just as Ye Cang was preparing to return to his office to analyze these blood samples.

He received a call from the Underground Research Base.

"Hello, Chief Engineer? There are some problems at the Underground Research Base."

Upon hearing that there was a problem at the Underground Research Base, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Ye Cang's heart.

Could it be that people there have fevers too?!

As soon as Ye Cang finished this thought.

The person on the other end of the phone said, "Chief Engineer, I don't know what happened, but about 10 days ago, people here at the research base started running fevers."

"We tried various medicines and various ways to reduce fever, but none had any effect. Currently, all the research personnel in the entire base are in a state of high fever."

Once these words were spoken, Ye Cang's expression instantly turned ugly.

The entire base had been infected!

"Besides the research personnel, what about the soldiers stationed at the research base? How is their situation?" Ye Cang asked urgently.

Soon, a response came from the phone.

"Of the soldiers stationed at the research base, only a few have persistent high fevers; the rest of the soldiers are completely normal."

"And those research personnel with persistent high fevers, they described that they seem to have developed problems themselves, and they would like to ask you to come over quickly."

Ye Cang hung up the phone directly and Quantumized himself.

In an instant, he arrived in front of the person who had reported to him at the Underground Base.

Such speed actually gave that person a fright.

"Ch-Chief Engineer, h-how did you appear?" the person asked, stuttering.

"I haven't even put down the phone yet."

Ye Cang did not answer his question, but only asked, "What is your name? What are you responsible for in the base?"

Upon hearing this, the person immediately said, "Reporting to the Chief Engineer, I am the captain responsible for logistics support in the base!"

Ye Cang nodded.

"Mm, Logistics Captain, I understand. Take me to see those research personnel."

"Yes!" After the Logistics Captain saluted, he hurriedly led Ye Cang toward the office of the research personnel.

When Ye Cang entered the office, he clearly felt that the entire office was much, much hotter than it was outside.

At the same time, those researchers were busy working in full swing.

When they saw Ye Cang arrive, they hurriedly stopped what they were busy with in their hands.

"Chief Engineer!"

Everyone saluted in unison.

Ye Cang went straight to the point.

"I heard from the logistics captain that all of you have developed high fevers and are unable to bring them down; since that is the case, why aren't you resting?"

As soon as his voice fell, a researcher immediately stepped forward and said, "Report, Chief Engineer, although our high fevers have not subsided, there are no issues with our bodies or spirits."

"Therefore, we can continue our research, and we have specialized doctors here who have conducted comprehensive examinations on us; please look, this is the report."

Having finished speaking, that researcher took a thick stack of medical reports from a pile of documents and handed them to Ye Cang.

Ye Cang took the reports and roughly looked them over.

Indeed, excluding the persistent high fevers, their bodies were very healthy, and there was nothing wrong.

Their brainwaves were even about 50% more active than before.

Hmm? Brainwaves 50% more active than before?

Before Ye Cang could speak, a researcher suddenly shouted.

"I heard it! I heard it! I heard it again!"

"It's that voice! It's ringing in my ears again! It wants to tell me something! But I can't hear it clearly!"

"Listen, everyone, listen quickly!"

As the voice fell, all the researchers immediately shut their mouths, directly ignored Ye Cang, and tilted their ears to listen intently.

And Ye Cang, watching this scene before him, frowned tightly and quietly took two steps back.

Now Ye Cang only had one thought: the situation had truly become serious!
