Chapter 87: Outbreak"I never thought about it that way!" Yan Hebi nodded his head excitedly, "I'm so happy I'm teammates with you, Yiyi. I got true endings before, but it always took a long time. There were so many times when we just barely missed the true ending, but now I feel like I'm making progress 3x faster!"

He didn't realize Cao Qian and Guan Ling were staring at him with a sad, pitying look in their eyes.

They also had to consider the following fate players among the hospital staff who worked without any breaks. There was also a possibility of following fate players being among the patients' family members, but investigating it would be too difficult so they could ignore it for the time being.

"You told me players could form teams, so let's assume the remaining following fate players are in teams. With their luck value, it's likely they spawned around the same area when they entered the world." Xing Ye said, "In the gynecology and obstetrics department, there are one doctor and two nurses that have worked continuously the past few days. The possibility of them being players is very high."

Cao Qian carried the wheelchair with one hand and followed Xing Ye down the stairs, "The department of gynecology and obstetrics is on floors 3-5 of the second building and includes the fourth floor passage that connects the three buildings. If they're following fate players, the parasites won't go after them immediately. We know the parasite was active in the first building from the measles patient and there are three opposing fate players in the third building. This positioning tells us a lot."

Guan Ling said, "They're lucky after all. They can avoid meeting other players and haven't run into the parasite. Look at me, getting spawned in the infectious disease department. If I mess up, I might just get infected and die."

"Gynecology... and... obstetrics?" When Yan Hebi heard those three words, he recalled the egg idea Xing Ye raised earlier and his face twisted.

Yan Hebi immediately waved his hands when he saw Xing Ye's round yet piercing eyes turn to look at him, "No, no, I didn't mean to reject your idea."

Xing Ye said, "You exposed yourself. But you're pretty sensitive to the plot, unlike your sense with women."

Guan Ling interrupted, "Boss, what are you two talking about?"

Xing Ye looked at Yan Hebi, gesturing him to speak.

Yan Hebi was excited by his Yiyi's approval and spoke, "Earlier, Yiyi was doubtful about why two parasites could only infect one person every night. Their speed made her think the parasites were breeding. In the infectious disease department's nursing station, there was an extra tablet of antipyretic medication despite the hospital records saying he took it.

"Yiyi had questioned how the parasite was transmitted and if it was through injection or consuming its eggs. She also mentioned the idea of breeding.

"I've worked with many following fate players before and I found their status and spawn location always made it easier for them to find clues compared to opposing fate players. Three following fate players spawned in the gynecology and obstetrics department and the basic nature of that department is reproduction. Considering that, it's hard not to link the two things together.

"But wouldn't it be terrifying if the parasites and reproduction were really connected?"

"Ugh..." Guan Ling crouched in the corner and puked for a while before Cao Qian plucked him up and placed him in her wheelchair.

Cao Qian said, "If you can't walk, I can carry you. Don't waste time."

Guan Ling jumped up from the wheelchair, "I can walk! It's just that what Yan Hebi said was too disgusting."
