In the basement of the West End safe house, the dim emergency lights cast a shadow.

Huo Yanshen leaned against the wall and let Su Wanwan bandage the wound on his shoulder. Although the bullet had been removed, his face was extremely pale due to excessive blood loss.

"Are you still thinking about Aunt Yujie?" Su Wanwan asked softly.

Huo Yanshen didn't say anything, but just held her hand tightly. More than 20 years of feelings cannot be explained in a few words.

"She'll be fine." Father suddenly said, "SK-003 is the most successful early experimental subject. Her self-healing ability is beyond imagination."

"But such a huge explosion..."

"Believe me." The father showed a mysterious smile, "Why did your mother choose her? Because she has a special ability that is almost immortal."

As everyone was talking, Xu Wen suddenly rushed out from the monitoring room: "Oh no! Something happened in the city center!"

She turned on her laptop, and the screen showed that the entire city was shrouded in blood. The infected people who were wandering around suddenly fell down collectively, and then stood up again in a strange posture.

Their eyes were no longer simply red, but sparkled with a metallic luster!

"Gene evolution..." Father's face changed drastically, "They are about to start the second stage!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Do you remember the ultimate goal Cheng Yuan mentioned? They have to complete the human transformation plan within 24 hours. The first stage is large-scale infection, and the second stage is genetic recombination!"

Before he finished speaking, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded outside. Then, a mechanical voice rang out in every corner of the city:

“The genetic recombination process has started.

The first batch of experimental subjects has completed evolution.

Begin clearing out the remaining targets.

Priority: S-level gene carriers.

The target has been locked..."

Along with the sound, several photos suddenly popped up on the big screen, which were the information of Su Wanwan and Su Yun!

"They are going to conduct a carpet search of the entire city!" Xu Wen called up more surveillance footage. "Those evolved infected are no longer ordinary people. They are now like a group of perfect hunting machines!"

In the video, the infected people's movements have obviously become more agile, with their speed and strength increased dramatically. What's more terrifying is that they seem to have formed some kind of collective consciousness and can transmit information to each other!

"We must activate the signal shielding network immediately!" Father walked quickly to the control console in the corner, "As long as we turn on the main switch, we can..."

His movements suddenly froze.

The console screen clearly displayed: The system cannot start because the main control chip is missing.

"How could it be?" Xu Wen said incredulously, "Hasn't he already got the activation key?"

Su Wanwan quickly took out the metal box, only to find that the biochip had been completely integrated into the pendant at some point!

“Wait…” She recalled the blurry words on the back of the photo, “Maybe the last puzzle left by my mother is hidden here!”

After carefully inspecting the metal box, I found a miniature projector in the interlayer. After turning it on, my mother's image appeared on the wall:

"Dear Wanwan:

If you see this video, you already have the activation key. But this is only the first step.

The real master control chip is in our earliest laboratory. There is a shocking secret buried there, which is also the key to the entire plan..."

The image suddenly became blurry, but everyone heard the last few words:

"S19 area... underground level ... remember, it must be before sunset..."

"S19 area?" Xu Wen immediately pulled up the city map. "That was the military's earliest experimental base, but it's now abandoned."

“No, it’s still functioning there,” said the father. “It’s just in a different form. Now it’s…”

“The First People’s Hospital!” Su Wanwan exclaimed, “No wonder the infected people avoid that area. There is a signal shielding system there!”

But at this moment, Xu Wen suddenly discovered a terrible fact: "Look at the sunset time!"

The big screen showed: 47 minutes until sunset.

"It's still in time!" Huo Yan gritted his teeth and stood up, "Area S19 is only..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden commotion on the surveillance camera!

Countless infected people were surrounding them from all directions. They were incredibly fast, with metallic luster in their eyes, like some perfect biological weapon.

What's worse is that they seem to know the location of the safe house!

"There's a traitor!" Xu Wen's face changed drastically, "Someone leaked the coordinates of all the safe houses!"

As he was speaking, a familiar figure appeared in the surveillance video.

"It's Li Guohua!" Su Yun's eyes widened, "How could he..."

Li Guohua's eyes also glowed with a strange metallic light, and he said mechanically as he walked:

“Target confirmed: SK-007, SK-008.

Position locked.

Start the roundup procedure.

Countdown: 45 minutes.

If you don't surrender, you will be eliminated..."

“He’s infected too!”

Seeing the encirclement getting closer and closer, my father suddenly opened a hidden compartment and said, "We'll talk about the coordinate leak later. Now we have to split up!"

Inside the secret compartment was a hand-drawn map with several secret passages marked on it.

"Wanwan, you and Yanshen go to area S19. Xiaoyun will be responsible for attracting firepower, and Xu Wen and I will start the backup system. Remember, you must get the main control chip before sunset!"

“But Dad…”

"Listen to me!" Father said firmly, "This is our last chance."

But at this moment, a more shocking picture appeared on the surveillance camera——

A figure covered in blood is rapidly approaching the safe house, and infected people fall to the ground wherever he passes!

And in that person's hand, there was a device flashing red light!
