Before Yao Ran could take a step, she heard a man say, "That man must have drifted in the sea or eaten seafood—or maybe he drank seawater to survive. It’s a pity that after making it here, he got sick instead."

Overhearing this, Yao Ran turned to the speaker. Seeing that he was a young man, she asked, "Brother, do you know what disease that man had just now?"

The young man turned around, surprised to see a beautiful young lady and a handsome young man standing behind him.

He examined Yao Ran and Long Yu’s clean and healthy appearance before replying, "Sister, you don’t know about this?"

Yao Ran shook her head. "No. We just arrived today."

Hearing her response, the young man nodded in understanding and explained, "That man was infected with the mutant virus. Did you see those pimples on his face?"

Yao Ran nodded. "Yes."

Lowering his voice, the young man warned, "If you come into contact with the blood from those pimples, you will get infected with the mutant virus. It’s best to stay away if you see someone like that in the future."

After delivering his warning, the young man turned to leave with his companion.

Before he could walk far, Yao Ran called out, "Brother, please wait a moment."

The young man paused, turned around, and asked, "Sister, do you have another question?"

Yao Ran nodded, took a steamed bun from her space, and placed it in the young man’s hand.

Seeing the still-warm steamed bun as big as his fist, the young man’s eyes widened in surprise. The next second, he grinned and said, "Sister, you can ask me anything."

"Do you know the cause of that infection?" Yao Ran asked.

Hearing this, the young man looked around warily before whispering, "I heard that those people either ate sea monsters or human flesh."

As soon as Yao Ran heard this, her eyes flickered. "Sea monsters?"

The young man nodded and continued, "When I first arrived a few days ago, I saw soldiers capture a few sea monsters."

"They look like humans, but their bodies are covered in pimples. Their limbs have transformed into various shapes resembling sea creatures. Some of them can talk, but others attack humans on sight."

Hearing this, Yao Ran suddenly remembered Jiaozi. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Do people really eat those sea monsters?"

The young man nodded. "Of course. Most survivors reached this place by sea."

"Without enough food or fresh water, they had no choice but to eat whatever they could catch from the sea or drink seawater. Unless they had a water-element ability user with them or prepared enough supplies, this is their only choice to survive."

He sighed and added, "Between starving to death and eating mutated creatures, most people would choose the latter."

After he said that, Yao Ran remained silent for a few seconds before asking, "Do you know what happens to those infected?"
