The man with a scar on his face just monts ago was now slowly changing his features. Within a matter of seconds, the original face had disappeared and been replaced with a new one.
And this new face... was exactly that of Hungry Monkey.
"Ugh..."
Caught off guard, seeing a face identical to his own, wearing different clothes and walking among the crowd, this ludicrous sensation suddenly caused Hungry Monkey's stomach to churn incessantly, giving him an incredibly nauseous feeling.
He even started retching uncontrollably.
"Damn, could I invite him to be my quality single male, if I had a wife, that is."
Stomach cramps causing severe pain, Hungry Monkey didn't forget to quip, as the scene before him truly seed to be expanding his understanding.
"..."
Yuan Buping looked at Hungry Monkey with a strange expression, "Do you even have that kind of interest?"
"Miao, what's going on?"
"That person turned into Hungry Monkey's likeness; won't that be dangerous for Hungry Monkey?"
"I don't know."
Chen Miao shook his head and slowly stepped back a few paces, making way for these people to proceed, but his gaze was complex as he watched one of the n in the group, who had a face identical to his own.
He had just glanced at this man, morized his features in his mind, and then, after blinking, the man's face had turned into his own.
Such a bizarre phenonon initially made him even suspect that he was hallucinating.
It wasn't until the sa thing happened to Hungry Monkey that he was convinced this was no illusion but rather so kind of chanism or rule. Although he didn't understand the purpose of this chanism, he was certain it wouldn't be to his benefit.
...
"Should we kill it?"
Joking aside, Hungry Monkey still recognized the severity of the situation, and said, his face sowhat pale, "We can't just let a person who looks exactly like us mingle with the crowd, right? The thought alone is eerie."
"And have you noticed, Miao? These people seem to be picking up speed?"
"Hmm?"
With this reminder from Hungry Monkey, Chen Miao narrowed his eyes and began observing carefully, confirming shortly after that Hungry Monkey was right – these people were indeed getting faster.
If initially, they were rely moving at a quarter of the speed of normal human walking,
they were now at a third of the speed.
These people were getting stronger.
Only, their process of getting stronger looked more like they were...
"Learning."
Yuan Buping uttered a word, his expression turning slightly serious, "I finally realize what's odd. These 'people' are learning. They're learning how humans walk normally, and their walking speed is getting faster and faster."
"And..."
"It seems like they are learning how to talk like us."
The group of people closest to them were slightly opening and closing their mouths. Although no sounds were coming out, one could clearly see their lips moving, even as their eyes remained lifeless and their pupils dilated, continuing to move forward.
However—
It wasn't over yet.
Soon, they realized that things seed to be gradually spiraling out of control. Currently in the crowd there were shadows of Hungry Monkey and Chen Miao, and Yuan Buping had not closely looked at anyone from beginning to end; therefore, there was still no shadow of him in the crowd.
And those two individuals, whose faces had already turned into those of Hungry Monkey and Chen Miao, were like a virus, assimilating the people around them.
By the ti they noticed.
The person in the crowd who had Chen Miao's face, the faces of around ten other people had already beco Chen Miao's face as well, and similarly, the person with the face of Hungry Monkey had seven or eight people around them whose faces had also turned into the face of Hungry Monkey.
It was as if it were a virus.
So far, they had only received one piece of information, which was that when you focus your gaze on soone, that person's face would beco your face, and moreover, your face would spread like bacteria at a rapid rate.
Beyond that, there was no further information.
Just at that mont—
Several cars were approaching from a distance at a very high speed, coming to a steady stop beside them. These cars looked like they were expensive specialty vehicles, not only with very high safety but with a top speed that even reached two to three tis that of a normal car.
Shortly, a group of officials led by the mayor jumped out of the cars.
"Chen Miao."
This mayor, who claid to have had dealings with Chen Miao for a period, now approached Chen Miao with a serious expression and a hoarse voice, "You must tell everything you know. This random event may be quite out of the ordinary."
"Tell !"
"Why did you suddenly return to Fengtian City, and coincidentally, just as you arrived back in Fengtian City, this random event occurred, and you were also the first to arrive at the scene?"
"Do you know sothing about this?"
"I don't have ti to joke with you right now. Standing behind is the population of millions of Fengtian City. I can't treat the lives of millions as a joke. I need you to tell whether this random event was caused by you or not."
"Otherwise, why is it that for so many years, random events in Fengtian City were always resolved rather easily, and even in the history of the Federation, most random events were settled without much difficulty? You just returned to Fengtian, and now the difficulty of this random event is almost like a fixed event?"
He hadn't been concerned about this random event at first.
But when his subordinates told him that real-ti satellite observation showed that about a million people had gathered in and around Sankui Wasteland, he beca a little restless. Forget a million people—a million zombies alone would be enough for Fengtian to handle.
Let alone these upstanding apes, more terrifying than zombies.
He naturally knew that Chen Miao had voluntarily given up his position as a spokesman, so he never believed that Chen Miao's return to Fengtian was for seizing power. There were no family mbers of Chen Miao in Fengtian, and besides, upon arriving in Fengtian Chen Miao hadn't done anything—he had just eaten a few bites of noodles in a noodle house.
And then the random event happened.
He couldn't help but connect the two occurrences, and he naturally knew of Chen Miao's capabilities; he also knew that such special supernaturals often knew so very secretive information.

Chen Miao did not speak, just looking expressionlessly at the mayor before him. This commanding and interrogative tone made him sowhat uncomfortable.
The last ti they t, Zhang Wanyi was still the deputy mayor and had even apologized to him.
And had been grateful to him for saving the entire Federation.
Then upon eting again, Zhang Wanyi had beco the mayor. It must be said that the position of mayor really developed a person—Zhang had not been in the position long, yet he already looked ruddy and prosperous, and his aura as mayor looked in no way weak.
Although Chen Miao was a bit irked internally.
But he knew it was not the ti to dwell on these issues.
