Chapter 1846 Survivor (1/2)

Upon hearing what Black Steel said, Han Sen knew that the man must know something about this. But now was not the time to ask, so he was going to wait until Black Steel arrived.

But soon, Han Sen's worries became reality. More people in the base began to develop strange egg markings on their foreheads. It seemed to be spreading.

People could be isolated easily enough, but that wasn't a proper solution to the issue.

As time went on, more and more people developed that same strange mark. In the beginning, it only spread amongst the people who were at the gate when the Viscount died. Then, it started to happen amongst the mothers and children who hadn't even been there.

Over the course of a few hours, half of the people in the base developed the same mark across their foreheads.

Luckily, Han Sen, Little Angel, Zero, Xie Qing King, Gu Qingcheng, and Little Silver had not yet been infected by the strange affliction. It was very fortunate.

Xie Qing King and Gu Qingcheng had examined the infected people and noted that there didn't actually seem to be anything wrong them. But the whole base was so scared that those who were not yet infected wanted to abandon the place. If Han Sen hadn't just killed two Viscount creatures and enlisted the aid of Deep Blue Viscount, the base would have descended into chaos.

Out of the four Viscount Nobles, Wind Viscount was dead. Deep Blue Viscount was helpful, whereas Lake didn't do anything. The other Viscount had been missing for the past two days. Where he had disappeared to, no one knew.

Han Sen contacted Black Steel to update him on the situation that was currently unfolding. Han Sen didn't want him to end up getting infected as well.

”Wait for me,” Black Steel said, before hanging up again. It sounded as if he was doing something in a rush.

Before Black Steel arrived, Deep Blue Viscount came over to see Han Sen.

When Deep Blue Viscount arrived at Han Sen's house, he immediately stripped off his armor. His forehead now had the egg-shaped marking, too.

”Do you feel anything?” Han Sen frowned.

Deep Blue Viscount was calm, and he merely shook his head. ”I don't feel anything. If I hadn't looked in the mirror, I wouldn't even have known the mark had appeared.”

”Then, what do you plan on doing?” Han Sen asked.

Deep Blue Viscount went quiet, and he said, ”I told you I wanted to speak with you alone. Do you have the time to do so, right now?”

Yeah.” Han Sen nodded.

Deep Blue Viscount sat down and dropped into thought for a minute before speaking. He said, ”I know that most Nobles here have ulterior motives. I do, as well. But I am different in one way; I don't work for anyone.”

”Then, why are you here?” Han Sen asked him.

Viscounts were of a high rank, and he'd be a wanted asset anywhere he went. There wasn't a reason for him to follow Han Sen.
