Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Heavy

Administration Bureau Mutated Individual Shelter…

You don’t need to hold a high position or be a Level 9 agent; every newcomer to the Administration Bureau gets to learn about this off-putting facility during the initial monster catalog assessment phase.

When dealing with Spirit Explosions, the Administration Bureau rarely captures monsters alive, as they don’t usually need to conduct research, opting to kill on site and then transport the bodies back, forwarding them to the research institute or other places as necessary.

But there are exceptions.

Sometimes, the Spiritual Ability Research Institute requests the capture of monsters from the Administration Bureau for research purposes.

Exploration teams from the Great Void also bring back various monsters from the Great Void.

Additionally, some humans infected by spiritual energy, who have turned into mutated individuals, are also temporarily detained in the shelter for research purposes.

In fact, the research institute had never ceased researching how to reverse the mutated phenomena caused by spiritual energy infection, but so far, it had no clue.

If you were looking for monsters, the shelter was definitely a great place.

“Since you knew about this place all along… why didn’t you tell me from the beginning?” Chen Ke asked.

“That place… I don’t know what it’s like now, and it seems like you only need one monster… I think it’s safer to look on the streets than to go there,” Ying Baiyi said.

“Yes, I only need one. Let’s go there, kill one big enough and we can go back. The streets are full of bird people, do you think that’s safer…?” Chen Ke said.

“You still don’t understand what I said… there’s not just one there… but a group… a large group…” Ying Baiyi shook his head.

“Ying Baiyi is right; we must be very careful because that place is not a department store… In this uncontrolled situation, who knows what those monsters are like now…” Diana said.

“They should all be obediently locked in cages, right?” Chen Ke asked.

“In theory, yes… the security measures of the Administration Bureau shelter are considered the strongest on Earth,” Diana said, briefly repeating the containment and detention measures for monsters at the shelter.

The isolation area of the shelter consisted of numerous steel rooms measuring 16×16 meters, 100% soundproof, with full-surveillance pinhole cameras monitoring 24/7.

These rooms were like iron boxes, devoid of any living tools or items, all monsters were stuffed inside in a sedated state, similar to milk preserved in a refrigerator.

The temperature inside the rooms was kept constant at 22 degrees year-round; the walls, more than 4 meters thick, had large iron gates with three layers, all controlled by electricity, and also generated a spiritual energy field that repelled the monster’s spiritual attributes to prevent them from breaking out of the room.

Every day, specialized personnel injected the monsters with vital nutrition liquids, a highly dangerous process because they had to be constantly vigilant against the monsters reviving during injection.

In short, containing live monsters was a tremendous expense, a very dangerous and troublesome job, and no one was willing to work at the shelter.

“Now we do not know if the shelter has lost power; if there’s no electricity, the spiritual energy fields on the doors and the temperature control system in the rooms will fail,” Diana said.

“Moreover, those monsters have not been fed for several months; they surely have awakened by now, some weaker ones might have died, while others will go crazy from hunger… to put it simply… the ones alive are definitely in a bad mood…” Ying Baiyi said.

“Would those 4-meter thick doors automatically open after a power outage?” Chen Ke asked.

“That would not happen… after all, what’s inside is far from normal; thus, the iron doors’ emergency mechanism would completely seal itself off once the shelter loses control,” Ying Baiyi answered.

“Why not self-destruct?” Chen Ke couldn’t help but ask.

Ying Baiyi and Diana both looked at Chen Ke with a strange expression.

“This is not a video game… Chen Ke, no facility is designed with a self-destruct option… especially since…” Diana said.

“Especially since there are not just one or two of these facilities, and they are all built underneath the Administration Bureau hospitals…” Ying Baiyi continued.

“Fuck… psychopath… Building such a dangerous-sounding structure under a hospital… Don’t tell me the hospital is right in the city center…” Chen Ke frowned.

“You’re right, Chen Ke… it really is built in the city center…” Ying Baiyi shook his head…

“So, you’re saying… Sam and I were at the hospital…” Chen Ke turned to Ying Baiyi.

“No, the Administration Bureau’s hospital serves specifically for agents; its primary functions are treatment of injuries and strange Spiritual Energy diseases, and its largest function is to drain and inject Spiritual Energy. The hospital you and Sam went to was a public hospital,” Ying Baiyi explained.

“Drain… what do you mean by drain…?” Chen Ke heard this term for the first time.

“Chen Ke… This could go on forever… You’re not an agent, and it’s too complicated to explain everything. Mentioning one thing will bring up two others you don’t understand, explaining those will lead to four more you can’t grasp…” Diana sighed.

“That’s right, if we keep going, all that will be left here is water,” Ying Baiyi spread his hands.

“Just understand it simply, the Spiritual Ability User’s Spiritual Energy needs to be withdrawn every month, rested for 7 days, and then pumped back in,” Diana said.

Chen Ke could only be startled. Spiritual Ability Users are this troublesome? That means, even the most powerful Spiritual Energy Users have a 7-day window where they’re just well-trained ordinary people…

No wonder Diana looked frustrated. Initially, she had mentioned drainage to Chen Ke, but he didn’t take it seriously and had long forgotten…

“I understand, no need to explain any further… The shelter is our last hope now. Ying Baiyi, how far is the nearest shelter from here?” Chen Ke asked.

“Not too far, the town just ahead belongs to the western district of Carefree City. Walk further inside and you’ll find an Administration Bureau hospital. But, Chen Ke… you’d better be clear, if things go out of control there, I can only save myself and won’t be able to look after you,” Ying Baiyi said.

“I’ll be careful. Later when I go in with you, you can handle killing the monsters. Are you confident?” Chen Ke asked.

“I… I can’t throw any more Lightning spears, my Spiritual Energy is depleted… but I can still summon Holy Relics and use the Spiritual Ability Pistol, though it might be tough…” Ying Baiyi said.

“Can this thing even run out…?” Chen Ke was puzzled.

“Oh… Chen Ke, I just thought you understood Spiritual Energy quite well…” Diana sighed.

“I only know what I need to know,” Chen Ke responded.

“Alright, less talk, let’s hurry up. You should get the others ready… especially mentally,” Ying Baiyi suggested.

Chen Ke nodded, turned, and walked to the back of the group to briefly discuss the situation with Sam.

Sam had no objections to the matter, but he pointed out something that Chen Ke almost overlooked.

Even if they successfully returned to their original world, Ying Baiyi and his group of survivors would still turn to ash.

Chen Ke also had Ash Element within him… Sam had declined Jiu Lin’s diagnosis, but he probably also had it inside. Diana had only seen videos; she hadn’t seen the massive black pillar on the way, unlikely having it… and the rest of the survivors who were in the hotel, it was unclear if they noticed that thing during their journey to the hotel…

Which means, the people who have survived up to now, not many of them might return to normal life…

What if Diana and those survivors accidentally saw the giant black pillar?

That would mean death for everyone…

Chen Ke felt a tremendous weight of emotion pressing on his chest.

Although life countdown is also lethal, it wasn’t unsolvable; filled with a murderous intent, Chen Ke was undying. It even seemed somehow like a cheat.

But this meme curse turning them to ash… it truly was lethal.

“We’ll find a way to cure this disease, let’s get back first,” Chen Ke said.
