Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Seal Off This Place! Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Seal Off This Place! Editor: virtual group “Clang! Clang!” During their conversation, the mutant creature once again violently slammed against the iron cage. It grabbed the iron bars with its claws, seemingly trying to break them! The bars actually showed slight deformation! Seeing this scene, everyone was startled. *The creature was that strong!* “Could it actually escape?” Wu Rui asked in a panic. “We must not let it destroy the cage,” Dong Chen shouted, “This is a university; if the creature got out, how many students would be hurt?” “Let me handle it!” He Xingzhou found a box and tossed in a dead fish. He explained, “There’s a sedative inside the fish’s belly. It should calm it for a while!” As soon as the dead fish was thrown in, the mutant creature immediately shredded and devoured it. The sedative’s effect quickly appeared, and it calmed down somewhat. Wu Rui then covered the cage with the black cloth outside, completely calming the mutant creature. “Call the police! Call them now!” Zhang Boyan said, “Regardless of how this issue is categorized, this creature can’t just be left here. Have the police control it first!” “Yes, call the police!” Dong Chen took a deep breath and said, “Zhang, you contact the school security and alert the police.” “I’ll contact the professors from the university’s biology department to come over and assess the situation.” “And this matter must remain confidential until resolved to avoid causing panic among the students!” “And the few of you students shouldn’t stay here. It’s dangerous! Go outside for now, and don’t leave until further instructions!” “Alright, we’ll follow your guidance,” He Xingzhou said. The two immediately took action, with Zhang Boyan going to find the school security and contact the police, while Dong Chen went to report the situation to the school leadership. He Xingzhou also took the time to message his roommate group, saying, “Guys, don’t wait for me for dinner. Also, stay away from the biology experiment building later to avoid unnecessary trouble.” Wang Jiahao: “???” Feng Tao: “He got a date!” Zhang Yang: “What’s up with the biology experiment building?” He Xingzhou had no time to reply to them; there was still much to do. The measures the school took were just to keep the creature from escaping; ultimately, the biology department professors had to agree with He Xingzhou’s Zerg genetic evolution model and report it to the National Security Bureau! In less than ten minutes, the school security rushed over. A loudspeaker blared from the school’s broadcasting center, announcing, “Attention, the biology experiment building is undergoing equipment maintenance. All faculty and students should leave the building immediately.” “Attention, the biology experiment building... all faculty and students should leave now.” There were still many faculty and students conducting experiments or attending classes in the biology experiment building. Hearing this announcement, they were all confused. “Equipment maintenance? Since when? Why wasn’t there prior notice?” “So annoying, my experiment was halfway done!” “Students, let’s leave here for now.” The teachers also got the notice, and the administrative office asked the teachers to leave with the students! The school security also received the order from the administrative office, enclosing the biology experiment building with warning barriers, only allowing people out, not in! Passing students curiously discussed, “What’s going on? Why is the building roped off?” “No idea, my experiment was going fine, and they kicked us out!” “What happened? Did someone jump off a building?” “Didn’t see anything, is there an accident?” “Something must’ve happened, but who knows what?” Someone took photos with a phone. “Biology experiment building? I heard on the forum someone is doing biogenetic experiments inside there,” a student mentioned, “seems like it’s He Xingzhou.” “He Xingzhou? Is that him?” Someone pointed over, where a few security guards were speaking with He Xingzhou. “It really is him! Could what the forum said be true?” a surprised student exclaimed. “No way, he’d be so bold? That sounds too outrageous!” The onlookers were skeptical. While the students were puzzled, in the principal’s office, Principal Liu Yuan was also shocked. “What did you say? A monster in the lab, a mutant creature?” “Dong, you’re not joking with me, right?” Dong Chen, with urgency, said, “I’m in no mood to joke. Zhang Boyan and I saw it with our own eyes! That creature might be related to some sort of genetic virus, endangering national security!” “We need immediate measures; it will be too late if something happens! I’ve already alerted the police, and the security is evacuating the students!” His expression was incredibly earnest, not appearing to be faking it. Liu Yuan stood up and said, “Something like this? I need to see for myself!” Dong Chen reminded, “Principal, we’re not experts in this area; we need to bring in biology experts!” “Alright, gather them up!” Liu Yuan immediately contacted the dean of the biology faculty, the renowned biology expert and academician of the National Academy of Sciences, Song Jinhong. “What? A mutant creature in the biology experiment building?” Song Jinhong was not at the university but at a research institute. Hearing Principal Liu Yuan’s call, he looked puzzled. “How could there be a creature in the lab? I remember there are indeed groups studying mutant creatures at school; isn’t that normal? Do you need me to take a look?” “I haven’t seen it myself yet, but Dong Chen insisted you must go! He said it concerns national security,” Liu Yuan stated. Upon hearing the seriousness, Song Jinhong promptly replied, “Alright, I’ll head over right away!” “Xiao Liu, get the car, we’re heading back to Beijing University of Science and Technology!” he instructed his secretary. Meanwhile, the police in the surrounding districts of Beijing University of Science and Technology also received the school’s report. “A creature at your school?” the dispatcher looked puzzled, “What kind of creature could it be? A wild boar?” The university was large and had hills, and wild boars had appeared before. “No, it’s a beast, a man-eating beast! It’s hard to explain over the phone. It’s now in the lab building and could harm students any time! Please send someone to control it immediately!” the caller urged. The dispatcher said, “Got it, we’ll send officers over at once!” The dispatcher not only contacted police officers but also reached out to the Forestry Bureau, who specialized in handling wild animals. In less than ten minutes, sirens blaring, police cars entered the campus. A group of officers with handguns arrived at the scene to gather information from the crowd. Seeing their weapons, He Xingzhou hurriedly told Zhang Boyan, “Teacher, we absolutely can’t let them kill Black Sea Bream No.2! It’s vital biological evidence! It needs to be preserved for higher-ups to study!” Zhang Boyan nodded and said, “You’re right, we can’t let them kill the creature. I’ll contact them right now.” He immediately sought out the police team leader, saying, “Officer, I’m the one who reported it, a physics professor at the University of Science and Technology, here to explain the situation to you.” The police were confused and, seeing him approach, quickly asked, “Hello, can you tell us what’s happened here? Where’s the beast?”
