Chapter 487: Mutations

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Wei rode the chopper around the night market before stopping at the end of the night market where there was a grill from which she could observe the mansion on the mountain closely. She could see the top of the mansion, and it was exactly like what flashed through her dreams.

She got off the chopper. The boss of the grill was a lady who spoke standard Spanish. Ye Wei ordered some grilled food and casually asked the lady boss about the owner of the mountaintop mansion.

As she had expected, the Mo brothers owned the mansion.

The two brothers owned the islands and were so eminent that everybody on the island recognized them.

Ye Wei did not ask any further and returned to the mansion after collecting her takeaways. Mo Jue saw Ye Wei return from the second floor balcony and Ye Wei smiled as she waved the grilled takeaway in her hand. She went up to the second floor as though nothing happened.

“For you!” Ye Wei passed him the takeaway.

“You’re not eating?”

“I’m stuffed. That said, this stall sells pretty decent food. I’m a little tired and will turn in first,” Ye Wei waved her hands and entered the bedroom.

Mo Jue raised his eyebrows and smiled as he saw the grilled food in his hands.

As Ye Wei was hypnotized by Meng Lianling earlier, she felt fatigued and immediately fell asleep once she hit the bed. As she was in a deep slumber, she did not know that Mo Jue had returned to the room. Mo Jue, on seeing her pale face, thought that she was sick and touched her forehead. Her forehead was not warm, but instead cool.

He did not seem to mind and rested on the bed as well.

Ever since Ye Wei’s doubts were aroused, she had always wanted to find a chance to go up the mountain to confirm them. She paid special attention to the road that led to the mountaintop mansion as there were only three avenues on the island that ran its full length. If one had to head up to the mountain, they would have to pass through the main avenue.

Thankfully, there was a pottery shop on the island that she could learn to make pottery at with the lady boss showing her the ropes. She was in the shop for two days, and never noticed the Mo brothers go up the mountain.

She however discovered that Doctor Claire went up and down the mountain daily… sometimes making several trips a day.

Claire was the Mo brothers’ exclusive doctor whom Ye Wei recognized. When she had just woken up, she saw him several times. Doctor Claire was extremely well-reputed on the island, and everybody who had ailments – however large or small – would certainly call on him.

He was hence extremely busy!

Claire told her this when they were talking. For such a busy Claire to stay on the mountaintop for a whole two days definitely aroused suspicion.

Not wanting her impatience to spoil her plans, Ye Wei did not haphazardly take action as long as she did not have absolute confidence. This was even so given that she was on somebody’s turf.

After enduring it for two days, she could not bear it.

As this doubt had been in her heart for so long that she found it a little difficult to act as though nothing happened before Mo Jue, she decided to confirm her doubts earlier since Mo Jue would suspect her if she dragged her feet.

While she had planned to go up the mountains in the late night to cover her tracks so as not to startle Mo Jue, she saw Mo Ye’s car rush by early in the morning in the direction of the mountain as she was running.

Ye Wei thought little of it until she saw several cars heard for the mountain via the main avenue, and her suspicion was aroused. As she just returned to the mansion, Mo Jue was driving out.

When he saw Ye Wei, he killed the engine and looked at her quietly for a moment. “You look to be in a rush, where are you headed to?” Ye Wei asked.

Mo Jue remained silent, his purple eyes covered by a slight haze as he held the steering wheel tightly. “Wei Wei, something’s cropped up. Wait for me at home.” Mo Jue slowly said.

As Ye Wei nodded, Mo Jue drove out. Ye Wei, without turning back, knew where he was headed.

Once the sound of the cars fell, she immediately yanked the chopper over and followed.

As Mo Jue was extremely alert, he would discover Ye Wei if she followed him too closely. Ye Wei hence made a round around the island, and Meng Lianling, who was exercising at the beach, saw Ye Wei and waved to her.

“Wei Wei, what brings you out on a joyride this early?”

“Er I’ve nothing to do!” Ye Wei replied casually as she zoomed past Meng Lianling. Meng Lianling shrugged and carried on with her morning run.

Ye Wei floored the gas and raced to the mountaintop.

The Dungeon, Mountaintop Mansion.

Eleven broke the glass door and shocked all the scientists and experts.

Claire followed Mo Ye’s instructions and increased the concentration of the viruses in Eleven. He then again implanted the viruses in Meng Lianling’s body into Eleven in a bid to use her blood as an incubator. Claire was giving it all he could.

As the formulation of the antidote was stuck at its final stage, Claire was afraid that Eleven’s body would spiral out of control if he increased the concentration too much. As Eleven fell into a terrifying relapse two days ago, her bloodshot eyes were beast-like and filled with a bloodlust and desire to fight as she struggled for her dear life in the glass house.

As the number of times she lapsed into madness in a day increased, the data showed that the viruses and her blood were slowly coalescing and she was responding much better than the previous few times. The experts were extremely overjoyed.

They, for once, thought that there was hope at formulating the antidote.

The biggest bottleneck was whether Eleven’s blood could combine with the viruses to create the antidote because her blood was naturally able to neutralize the viruses. As long as Eleven’s blood combined with the viruses, the chemical reaction that resulted would be able to neutralize the viruses in Meng Lianling.

As Claire – the team leader – was more responsible for saving than harming people, he did not suddenly ramp up the dosage of viruses despite Mo Ye’s instructions. He instead increased the dose of viruses gradually.

As he gradually increased the dose of viruses , he was extremely impressed towards Eleven. He wanted to save Meng Lianling and keep Eleven alive.

The gradual increase of the viral dosages, however, caused Eleven to become weaker with each time. With ten-over different viruses in Eleven’s body, the viruses became unstable and fused with the cells. Claire had never expected that.

These unstable viruses consumed Eleven’s life, and Claire eventually realized that Eleven was at the end of her life. If he did not take his chances, Eleven would die and so would Meng Lianling. He wouldn’t be able to save either of them.

If he took his chances, Meng Lianling would still have a fighting chance at living.

He had told these to Mo Ye yesterday, and Mo Ye’s reply was for him to protect Meng Lianling since she would die.

Little did anybody expect, during this all-or-nothing gamble, that Eleven’s immunity to viruses allowed her to consciously control how the viruses combined with the cells and caused mutations in the process.

This not only utterly destroyed her regular body, it even rewrote the history of viral research.
