Chapter 383: Chapter 307 That’s Totally Normal_1

"Bodyguard?" Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but take another look at the black medium-sized dog following at Ahn Ke’s feet. He didn’t sense much power from the dog, or to put it another way, it seemed no different from an ordinary dog. However, he did notice something about the creatures in those two canisters.

When he used his thermal vision, he could see a very high heat source inside, even though the canisters themselves were equipped with cooling systems, which could barely suppress the rise of that heat source.

"I feel a serious lack of security."

"Really?" Zheng Yichen continued moving things and soon transferred a large pile of local specialty goods into the truck, including his motorcycle.

After moving all the items that needed to be moved, Ahn Ke finally spoke up, "What trouble did you encounter this time? Your hair has turned white."

"It should recover in a few days." Zheng Yichen picked up a mirror in the vehicle and looked at it. Although the roots of his hair hadn’t started to turn black again, with his body recovering, the color change caused by excessive overdraw should definitely reverse.

Things like melanin are just temporarily lost. Once the body fully recovers, it will return. His hair grows quickly now, so as long as he returns to normal, by the next day his hair color will be back to normal.

Although white hair quite fits his aesthetic, that’s when it appears on the opposite sex. On himself... well, at least he’s not into Immortality Cultivation now, and doesn’t need the trope of a youth with white hair. Instead, such external characteristics would attract more attention.

"Do you need any supplies?"

"No need." Zheng Yichen shook his head. The best supplies would be powerful creatures, and on his way back, he had already dealt with many strong alien beasts from the previous world.

His body had recovered as much as it could, and the rest just needed time to heal. As the truck started, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but look at Ahn Ke, who was driving. He hadn’t expected Ahn Ke, a researcher, to be able to drive this thing.

"How did those viruses work out?" On the road, instead of asking about Zheng Yichen’s gains, Ahn Ke inquired about the viruses she had provided him before his departure.

Zheng Yichen looked through the window at the foggy streets outside. It wasn’t nighttime yet, but the streets were already shrouded in mist. Tonight or tomorrow, there would likely be heavy fog or dense mist.

He took out his phone to check the weather forecast and casually replied to Ahn Ke’s question, "Didn’t have that many opportunities to use them, but I did use the mutant Type 4 thing."

Ahn Ke nodded, "How was the subject’s condition?"

"The upper body was still normal, but the lower body turned into something unrecognizable. His self-awareness was preserved, though." Zheng Yichen checked the information on his phone, and sure enough, a fog was expected to appear in six hours, during the evening. He pulled up some photos on his phone, "I have a recording, these are the photos."

Ahn Ke, who was driving, glanced at the photos on the phone, "While Type 4 mutation is a mature virus, it’s difficult for affected creatures to retain their self-awareness. The subject you found is exceptional; was it an enemy?"

"No, he was just a poor guy from that world. When I found him, only his upper body was left."

"...That’s a pity." Ahn Ke said with some regret, a complete subject was hard to maintain self-awareness through such a mutation. To use the virus in a state of severe physical trauma and still retain self-awareness meant that the subject’s willpower was top-notch.

After all, severe physical defects cause more intense mutations as the body attempts to fill in its deficiencies, which greatly amplifies the impact on the individual’s psyche and self-awareness.

It was a waste that Zheng Yichen didn’t bring such a subject back.

"Ah? I collected some blood samples."

"Blood samples are not the same as the person, they’re of research value but far less so than a mutating individual able to maintain self-awareness." Ahn Ke said calmly, what’s done is done. She and Zheng Yichen had a collaborative relationship, not a hierarchical one, and having blood samples was still a decent gain.

It would have been nice if Zheng Yichen could have brought back the subject’s brain.

"There’s something else too, that world has only one ’Light type’ of power."

"We’ll run tests on those when we get to my research facility. Anything else unusual?"

"Like my blood?"

Ahn Ke quietly sped up, "The same as last time?"

Zheng Yichen shook his head, "Different, that blood could be used as a powerful hallucinogen. It made me feel awful."

The truck sped up again, reducing the time it took to get back by a third compared to the time it took her to get to Dusk Cathedral to pick him up. Upon arrival, she even forgot to notify Ahn Qi.

Zheng Yichen sent a text to Katrina and the others on the road, saying he might get back later today.

Two hours later, a furious Ahn Qi arrived at Ahn Ke’s research facility. Upon not receiving any news and being unable to get through on the phone, she guessed something might have happened and came right over, and indeed it was as she suspected.

The door to Ahn Ke’s lab was tightly shut. Even with authorization, she couldn’t enter. Zheng Yichen, meanwhile, was in another rest area, drinking tea and waiting for news.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing Ahn Qi still angry, Zheng Yichen put down his teacup.

Ahn Qi sat down on the sofa opposite Zheng Yichen, her gaze settling on his now-white hair. The anger in her expression softened slightly as she asked, "Did you encounter a lot of trouble this time?"
