Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 599 - 476 Contagiousness_2

Chu Zheng and the security personnel were about to examine it closely when Chen Gu suddenly shouted, startling them awake, "Don't look! Close your eyes!"

"This is a Mutant!"

And it was a particularly strange type of Mutant, one that Chen Gu had never encountered before.

Generally, once an organism mutated, it would inevitably be driven by an intense contamination instinct, seeking every possible way to spread its mutation.

Even if they had to hide among ordinary people, they would still subtly continue their contamination efforts, "cultivating" more of their kind nearby.

The same was true even for members of the Alien Insect Race that had been contaminated.

But this thing before them had clearly undergone deep mutation and had been lurking in the power plant for a long time without spreading its mutation to others.

If anyone in the power plant had been contaminated by it, they would have certainly rushed out to help during the fight.

"Why is that?"

Moreover, this particular Mutant's abilities were clearly superior to those of ordinary Mutants.

Its control over electrical energy was very similar to that of a Professional.

From its actions, it seemed to want to lie low in the power plant, quietly absorb more electrical energy, and silently grow stronger.

Chen Gu watched the creature. It suddenly split open a large mouth full of fangs from within its body and snarled ferociously at him!

Chen Gu smirked dismissively. He was calculating how to deal with this thing.

If the Bureau of Mystic Security found out about this creature's abnormalities, they would inevitably lock it in a laboratory and try to study it thoroughly. There's no doubt that there are always plenty of madmen in this world who know full well the dangers but can't resist the urge to do so.

Chen Gu sighed internally as fierce radiation flames blazed forth!

The creature instantly shrieked in terror, but Chen Gu's heart was like iron. Regardless of its pitiful cries for mercy, the radiation flames gradually burned it to ashes.

Chen Gu didn't intend to give those madmen a chance to cause trouble, especially since he was certain Dr. Meng Ji might be among those mad scientists.

Their initial intentions were undoubtedly good, but a good starting point doesn't guarantee that great disasters won't result in the future. Incidents where the study of dangerous creatures eventually led to their escape, causing a massacre, were all too common in history.

Indeed, the Mutant's vitality was tenacious. It continued to scream until Chen Gu had burned the last traces of it to ashes.

As the radiation flames did their work, Chen Gu gained a rough understanding of the creature's body structure: it was a product of a Mutant combined with a moss virus!

It must have been during the last incident. Some moss viruses must have escaped the Bureau of Mystic Security's rigorous screening and infected a lurking Mutant by chance.

This Mutant wasn't human. It was probably some kind of sewer beast contaminated during a Mutant clean-up operation.

Considering Capital Star's ecosystem, it was likely an electric leech.

Before humans arrived on Capital Star, these creatures lived in the planet's rivers and swamps. They had strong vitality and could emit faint electric currents capable of stunning prey, though they posed no threat to humans.

When humans began large-scale construction on Capital Star, their habitats were significantly encroached upon. However, they quickly adapted to human sewers. Now, these creatures are abundant in Capital Star's urban subterranean environment.

The moss virus is extremely contagious, and Mutants also possess an intense desire to infect. Strangely, when combined, they seemed to suppress this infectious nature in each other.

Chen Gu finished burning the creature to ashes when he heard Chu Zheng's anxious call from behind, "Instructor!"

Turning around, Chen Gu saw Wu Yihuo lying unconscious on the ground.

He hurried over and used [Atomic Life]. Wu Yihuo's breathing stabilized somewhat, but he remained unconscious.

The electric leech Mutant was actually very powerful; otherwise, it wouldn't have pushed Chen Gu into such a battered state, forcing him to fight to his limits and rely on cutting the power at a critical moment to capture it.

Its sneak attack on Wu Yihuo, who was merely at the first Energy Level, had caused great harm to this "Hell Titan."

Chen Gu immediately shouted into the public channel, "Where's the ambulance? Why isn't it here yet?!"

An ambulance, protected by the operations team, sped into the power plant, and Wu Yihuo was carried aboard. Chen Gu pulled Chu Zheng along, got into the van parked outside, and chased after them.

At the Bureau of Mystic Security's hospital, Chen Gu and Chu Zheng waited outside for several hours. Finally, the attending doctor emerged, weary and out of breath. "He's out of danger now..."

They both breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, Chen Gu's phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was Bai Hongyue calling, he felt a pang of guilt but braced himself and answered.

Bai Hongyue spoke sternly, "Chen Gu, is Wu Yihuo with you? He told me he went out for drinks and a chat with you, but it's so late; why hasn't he come home? I called him a dozen times, and no one picked up..."

Wu Yihuo becoming a Professional had not yet been disclosed to Bai Hongyue.

Wu Yihuo was quite enjoying the sensation of being a "secret agent."

Chen Gu had no choice but to lie, "He's with me. Don't worry. He drank too much, and I was afraid he'd disturb you and the child if he went home, so I found a hotel to settle him in. Rest assured."
