Chapter 539: Infection Experiment
"Have you ever tried bringing things back with you?" Xu Huo asked casually.
Master Tu fell silent.
Xu Huo set down the test tube and looked at them. "You haven't eaten the contaminated food from the cleanup area, you haven't lost your voice, and you haven't shown any infection symptoms. Why haven't you returned to Clown City?"
None of them spoke. Xu Huo provided the answer himself. "Is it that you can't, or that you don't dare?"
"What do you mean, 'don't dare'!" the young man who had spoken earlier retorted. "We're staying here solely to collect data and find a permanent solution to the cleanup area's problems!"
Xu Huo glanced at him. "That line about not eating people was quite convincing."
The young man choked on his words. Behind him, Zhuo Wangsun spoke up. "There's no point talking to them. They probably stole someone else's supplies, barely made it here, and are too scared to go back for fear of running into a Mutant tide, so they're just hiding out. Hiding here requires food too. After eating Mutants, how would they dare go back? Clown City definitely wouldn't accept people who've eaten Mutants, considering those Mutants were once their fellow citizens."
These words struck a nerve with Master Tu and the others. Their expressions darkened, but they offered no defense.
There were also glass tubes marked with the character "Tu" in the box. Xu Huo glanced at them before looking away.
