The fat on the meat was a faint yellow color. Lin Sijia had studied medicine for many years, so she could tell what it was at a glance. After all, they had attended all kinds of theoretical and practical anatomy classes in the past.

If Ye Xingchen was not wrong, other than a few people, the rest of the people in the community should have gone to Zhang Yi to get food.

Lin Pei had come from another place to join Ye Xingchen…

Ye Xingchen thought about it and suddenly had a guess.

Could it be that Lin Pei came from outside and had never taken the initiative to eat sour meat? Moreover, he had not been in this neighborhood before, so he did not accept the sour meat provided by Zhang Yi for free, so…

Ye Xingchen immediately told Lin Sijia about his guess.

“Do you think that’s possible? Is that why Lin Pei didn’t mutate?”

Lin Sijia’s eyes lit up when she heard that.

“It’s possible. It’s really possible. Because we have a small amount of prion virus antibodies in our bodies, Lin Pei didn’t eat the meat of his own kind, so he’s fine.”

Lin Sijia had discovered the new virus in Lin Pei’s body, but she also discovered that Lin Pei’s cells were devouring the virus.

Miraculously, Lin Pei was actually immune to this virus.

Ye Xingchen was just guessing. Although he wanted to confirm whether his guess was true or not, there was no such condition at the moment.

He couldn’t possibly catch a few people to do a controlled experiment!

But then again, if it was really as he guessed, then they were indirectly harmed by Zhang Yi.

Although there were indeed people who couldn’t stand the hunger and ate sour meat, according to Ye Xingchen’s observation, although the people in this community were selfish and cold-blooded, there were actually not many who took the initiative to move the corpses back to eat.

And Zhang Yi’s action of giving out meat earlier had undoubtedly made them walk into this deep pit.

Those who ate sour meat would probably be infected as long as they were attacked by these people.

Ye Xingchen sighed, but he didn’t feel sorry for them.

After all, Zhang Yi’s purpose in giving the meat was to make everyone attack his own home and give him half of the resources.

Ye Xingchen wasn’t so kind as to pity his neighbors who wanted to kill him.

However, it was a pity that they did not have any immunity. It seemed that the rate of his cannon fodder consumption would be high in the future.

Lin Pei was staying at Ye Xingchen’s place, but he was staying on the fourth floor. His phone was taken out when Ye Xingchen took off his clothes, so he was now in a state of isolation.

The door of the small room was locked. Compared to being at home, Ye Xingchen would provide him with food. There was also water and warmth here.

After Lin Pei stayed there for three days, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the door.

It was Zhang Yi.

When Ye Xingchen was eating breakfast in the morning, he suddenly saw a group of people standing at the closed gate, as if they were planning something.

He double-clicked on the screen and zoomed in on the people.

What surprised Ye Xingchen was that the visitor outside was not a stranger, but an acquaintance of his, Zhang Yi.

“What? Zhang Yi is still alive?”

Ye Xingchen took a bite of the fried dough stick soaked in soy milk. For a moment, he admired Zhang Yi from the bottom of his heart.

If he was not mistaken, the people standing beside Zhang Yi should be his previous bodyguards. Other than those bodyguards, there were also a few people that Ye Xingchen did not know.

“That’s awesome. 1 thought he was dead long ago, but he’s still alive. It seems that he must have escaped secretly.”

Although Ye Xingchen would check the surveillance cameras every day, it was not twenty-four hours a day.

Counting the time, Zhang Yi probably ran away before Ye Xingchen could gather everyone together.

As for the rations they relied on for so long…

Ye Xingchen did not pay much attention to the pile of corpses at Zhang Yi’s door. Now that he thought about it, it was probably because the food in the house had been divided up, so he and the bodyguards each dragged a corpse and ran away.

“Amazing, amazing. He survived. But now that he’s back, it doesn’t look like anything good.”

The mutants had just come, and Zhang Yi had come now. Ye Xingchen did not know why Zhang Yi had come back, but he had a hunch that Zhang Yi had come back for him.

Because of the mutant incident, no one dared to go out anymore. Other than patrolling the neighborhood every day, there was no one guarding the entrance of the neighborhood.

No one dared to go out again. No matter how tempting the supplies were, they couldn’t resist the fear in their hearts. After all, those mutants were exactly the same as zombies.

Although the food that Ye Xingchen gave them every day was not enough to fill their stomachs, it was enough for them to survive.

After all, everyone who could live here was more or less rich. Everyone cherished their lives, and no one dared to exchange their lives for a full meal.

Zhang Yi didn’t enter through the main entrance. He climbed over the wall.

Ye Xingchen saw it clearly. He saw Zhang Yi leading the group of people to try to push open the gate of the neighborhood, and then they walked around the neighborhood under Zhang Yi’s lead.

Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows and saw them suddenly stop.

The spot they were standing at now was right behind his villa.

This was where Zheng Huaqiang and the others had brought people to climb the wall last time.

“Sigh, what he said really came true. He said that he was coming for me, and he really was coming for me.”

Ye Xingchen sighed and then took a sip of iced soy milk.

If Ye Xingchen’s guess was right, Zhang Yi should have taken his bodyguards and escaped to a shelter with someone unknown. The current situation should be that he had brought the person he had taken refuge with to attack him.

Zhang Yi probably bragged a lot, saying that his house was rich in supplies and had heating.

As soon as the patrol passed by, Zhang Yi and his bodyguards were very conscious and automatically began to stack on the ground, forming a human ladder for them to climb on.

“What benefits did they receive from Zhang Yi? Money? Why are they still risking their lives for Zhang Yi at this time?”

Compared to the feeling that Zhang Yi was about to attack his house, Ye Xingchen was more curious.

Previously, he could still say that the bodyguards had been following Zhang Yi to protect him because they had to rely on Zhang Yi for a living.

But now, Zhang Yi looked like he could not eat enough himself, let alone feed them.

“If only they could be so loyal to me. I wonder what Zhang Yi’s conditions are..”
