“I have to think carefully about what kind of illness this is.”

“We don’t usually see this kind of illness, so our professor only told us a story at that time…”

Lin Sijia frowned and went to the kitchen. Unknowingly, it was dinner time again. Ye Xingchen wanted to eat curry beef brisket tonight.

With something special happening, Ye Xingchen didn’t cut the camera.

It was already dark outside. The visibility outside was not high without street lamps. People all relied on the flashlights on their phones to illuminate the place.

The guard’s steel rod had already poked the visitors standing at the door. Strangely, they did not move at all.

“Hey, can’t you hear me? Our neighborhood doesn’t welcome strangers!”

Qian Zhong was on duty today. He was originally a hot-tempered rich second-generation heir. He only restrained himself a little in front of Ye Xingchen for the sake of those few mouthfuls of food that could keep him alive.

He had not received any supplies for a few days, and he was already filled with resentment. He hated those idiots who made Ye Xingchen unhappy.

“Are you deaf? Answer me!”

The others were already used to Qian Zhong’s temper, but they couldn’t be bothered to care about him. After all, they weren’t too familiar with him.

Qian Zhong didn’t get a response, so he used an iron rod to push a visitor out.

“Go away, go back to where you came from. Aren’t you annoying? You’re already annoying, but you’re adding to my workload!”

He had already decided to find a place to hide at the door.

After pushing them out one by one, Qian Zhong turned around and walked back while mumbling.

In an instant, behind him, the few people who had no reaction like dummies opened their mouths and pounced on him.

“Wha… Ah! What the hell! So heavy! Get lost!”

When the people inside saw Qian Zhong being pushed to the ground by strangers, the three of them walked out of the neighborhood guard booth.

“What are you doing?! What are you doing?!”

The group of people did not seem to understand human language. After they pushed Qian Zhong to the ground, they began to tear his clothes. For some reason, their strength was extraordinary. Qian Zhong was firmly pressed to the ground by them, unable to move.

“Help! Help! Come and save me!”

They had been on duty for so long, when had they ever seen such a scene?! Even if there was, it was a group of them against a few people from the other areas.

“Um, Little Zhong, hold on. I, I’ll call someone over!”

“Oh right, there are too many of them. I’ll call a few people over too! Hold on!”

Two of the three people who were guarding the door that night immediately ran away.

The remaining person was called Zhang Sen. He could be considered to have some friendship with Qian Zhong, but not much.

After all, they were all from the circle of rich second-generation heirs and lived in the same neighborhood. They definitely knew each other and had more or less a relationship. However, the reason why he did not run with the other two was mainly because it was too sudden. His brain had not reacted in time. Otherwise, he would have run with them long ago.

“Save me! Save me! Come and save me!”

Qian Zhong’s shriek resounded throughout the entire neighborhood. The two people who ran away just now did not go to call for help at all. They ran straight back to their own homes.

Of course, everyone was selfish. Even though they were on duty now, they were only thinking that if Ye Xingchen went out and saw how conscientious they were, he might give him a bite.

Who would really want to risk their lives for the owners of this residential area?!

Qian Zhong’s clothes were almost stripped off by them. His shouts had turned from insults to pleas.

“I beg you, let me go. I beg you, let me go…”

His voice was hoarse. Qian Zhong no longer had the strength to shout. At this moment, someone had already bitten Qian Zhong’s shoulder. Under the extreme cold, Qian Zhong actually did not feel any pain. He only felt that his body had been frozen numb.

Zhang Sen stood rooted to the ground. He didn’t dare to go forward, and he didn’t feel good walking. Just as he was hesitating, he didn’t notice that the people who couldn’t get a share of Qian Zhong had already stood up and slowly walked toward him.

It was too dark outside. Zhang Sen’s flashlight shone on the people on Qian Zhong’s body who had bitten him until their mouths were full of blood.

He really wanted to escape, but for some reason, his feet seemed to be nailed to the snow and he could not move.

Yes, Zhang Sen was so scared that he even forgot how to walk.

Not long after, Zhang Sen was also like Qian Zhong. His clothes were stripped off and he was pressed to the ground to be eaten.

Ye Xingchen looked at the screen and could not help but feel uncomfortable.

Mo Qi frowned and didn’t dare to look anymore. She shrank into the kitchen and followed Lin Sijia closely, helping her.

When dinner was ready, Lin Sijia came out with the food. Just as she put down the food, she saw the bloody scene on the screen in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, she looked at the curry beef brisket that she had already served on the table as if she had suddenly realized something.

“I know!”

Lin Sijia was so excited that she almost jumped up. She quickly came to Ye Xingchen’s side.

“Mad cow disease! It was the prion virus! They looked exactly like people with mad cow disease!”

Ye Xingchen took a closer look and only saw two bloody corpses.

“Just now, their eyes were lifeless, but the muscles on their faces kept twitching. Moreover, as you can see, they kept grinning.”

“At that time, my professor also told us about their symptoms. These people were invaded by the prion virus in their brains, which led to their strange behavior.”

“Prion virus…” Ye Xingchen muttered. “It’s the virus caused by cannibalism, right?”

Lin Sijia hesitated for a moment before replying gloomily. “Yes.”

Everyone knew how prions came about.

At this time, it was impossible for them to eat contaminated beef and mutton. Then, it was self-evident why.

Ye Xingchen’s heart skipped a beat, but he was relieved.

He had never encountered such a thing in his previous life. According to the timeline, he should still be alive in his previous life, although he was about to die.

However, it was also different from his previous life. He now had a house that was as strong as a fortress, a mobile medical kit, and even a humanoid weapon that he could trust for the time being. Ye Xingchen’s sense of security had unknowingly expanded a little.

“There’s no cure for this illness, right?”

Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Sijia and asked slowly..
