Chapter 358: Cate Hiding the Truth
In an instant, Xia Shang saw Chic in the surveillance footage, painfully covering his ears and rolling on the ground. At the same time, small flames began to emerge from his skin, but the flames were very small, and he extinguished them with a single roll.
"A day ago, the flames he released could still fill the entire Room," Kaduosa said, pulling up the surveillance footage from a day ago for comparison. "Look, he's only been infected with the virus for five hours, and his superpower had decayed to this state."
While he was speaking, Chic in the Room suddenly began frantically scratching his body, his expression gradually becoming manic. His skin also became red, swollen, and festered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and blisters like chickenpox appeared. Even across the screen, Xia Shang could see a pale yellow and slightly viscous liquid flowing from the scratched blisters, which looked extremely disgusting.
"Damn it!" Kaduosa's complexion darkened. He picked up the walkie-talkie beside him and said to the Guard outside the Monitoring Room, "Room 23, a Supe is out of control, quickly take him out for treatment."
After speaking, he looked at Xia Shang, feeling a bit ashamed. "Currently, the virus is still unstable. He's the first human to last this long. I thought..."
"No rush, take your time." Xia Shang saw Chic in the screen image, who, after struggling for a while, finally lay twisted on the ground, losing all signs of life.
"Put the previous screen image onto a USB drive and give it to me."
"No problem."
Kaduosa quickly transferred the surveillance footage onto the USB drive.
"Is this virus infectious?" Xia Shang asked calmly, looking at Chic on the surveillance screen, who had died a miserable death.
If the virus was infectious, then the situation would be serious. A virus capable of killing Supes and being infectious was not a good thing for him.
After all, he was still preparing to cultivate The Boys World into a reservoir of superpowers. In case the virus was infectious or had a tendency to develop into an infectious virus, then he would have to take action to suppress it, or even completely destroy the entire Experiment Base.
"No, the virus is not infectious," Kaduosa shook his head and handed the USB drive to Xia Shang.
"If the virus shows any tendency to develop in that direction, notify me immediately."
Xia Shang put away the USB drive, then walked out of the Monitoring Room and headed towards the Base Exit.
Meanwhile.
On a Lawn at Godolkin University, Golden Boy looked at Marie Moreau strolling on Campus and was instantly filled with anger. Ignoring Cate's attempts to stop him, he strode towards Marie Moreau.
The surrounding students, seeing there was excitement to watch, immediately followed behind Golden Boy and gathered towards Marie Moreau's location.
"I bet fifty US dollars that Golden Boy will definitely step in and teach that freshman a lesson."
"I bet a hundred US dollars that freshman will be beaten to a pulp."
Since Godolkin University had just started and many classes hadn't been fully scheduled, the students at this time were bored out of their minds and desperately wanted to find something to pass the time.
"Isn't that Golden Boy? Looks like he wants to cause trouble for that freshman." After Jordan Li heard the surrounding discussions, he followed their gaze and saw Golden Boy aggressively walking towards Marie Moreau.
He frowned and quickly walked over.
At this moment, Marie Moreau and Emma Meyer were leisurely strolling on Campus, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
"Everyone says Courtenay was on medicine, which is why she acted like that On Stage, but I don't think so," Emma Meyer was offering her unique perspective on what happened yesterday. "I heard she offended Cate before the interview, and I also heard that Cate's superpower is to control others, so I suspect Cate deliberately made Courtenay look bad."
"Surely not, that was a livestream," Marie Moreau said in surprise. "Anyway, it's best if we stay away from Golden Boy and Cate for a while."
Unfortunately, trouble isn't something you can avoid just by wanting to. Suddenly, a fist-sized fireball whistled past Marie Moreau's ear and then slammed into a tree trunk. The part of the tree trunk that was hit was charred black, and a lot of Marie Moreau's hair was burned off.
The sudden attack made Marie Moreau instantly alert. She immediately turned her head and looked behind her.
She saw Golden Boy standing there with his arms crossed, looking at her expressionlessly.
And behind Golden Boy was a throng of people.
"Let's go."
Seeing the situation was bad, Emma Meyer pulled Marie Moreau, wanting to escape, but Marie Moreau didn't want to leave. She walked directly towards Golden Boy and questioned him, "Why did you suddenly attack me? I don't think I've offended you recently, have I? If I hadn't stopped you back then, you might have been expelled from Godolkin University by now."
Marie Moreau didn't understand why Golden Boy hated her so much when she had clearly helped him.
"Expelled? Compared to dropping in rank, I'd rather be expelled from school," Golden Boy said. Amidst the surrounding whistles, flames ignited on his arms. "Now I'll give you two choices: either accept the challenge, and I'll wait for you in the Gymnasium, or admit in front of everyone that you're a shameless nobody who doesn't deserve your current rank."
"Don't fight him, don't fight him," Emma Meyer anxiously leaned into Marie Moreau's ear and whispered repeatedly.
Because she knew very well that with Marie Moreau's strength against Golden Boy, she would definitely be taught a terrible lesson, and for the next four years of university, Marie Moreau might not be able to hold her head up.
"I..." Just as Marie Moreau was about to accept the challenge, Jordan Li pushed through the crowd and walked up to Golden Boy.
"What kind of strength is it to bully a tenth-ranked rookie? If you want a fight, I'm happy to oblige."
Jordan Li and Golden Boy met each other's gaze until Golden Boy looked away.
"Very well, a defeated opponent dares to say such things in front of me. We'll meet on the Battlefield." Golden Boy turned his head and walked towards the Gymnasium. On the way, his mobile phone suddenly vibrated, but at this moment, Golden Boy had no mind to check his mobile phone. Extremely angry, he only wanted to severely teach Jordan Li, who didn't know his place, a lesson.
"Thank you."
Marie Moreau thanked Jordan Li.
"Thank me for what? I just wanted to curb Golden Boy's arrogance. As for you, why would I care if you live or die?"
Golden Boy arrived at the Stadium. He first took out his mobile phone and handed it to Cate.
"It's a new mobile phone, I don't want to have to replace it."
Cate took the mobile phone and glanced at it unintentionally. A text message popped up on it, causing her pupils to contract sharply. At the same time, the smile on her face gradually stiffened, and her expression also seemed extremely unnatural.
"What's wrong? Who sent me information?" After Golden Boy saw Cate's reaction, he reached out, wanting his mobile phone back.
"Nothing, you should just think about how to deal with Jordan Li." Cate, who saw the word 'Forest' on the mobile phone, quickly stuffed the mobile phone into her pocket. Although she didn't know who sent the text message, she absolutely could not let Golden Boy learn the truth of the matter.
