Chen Xiao tucked the key and the antidote for the Gene Toxin into his pocket before he pulled out his cellphone and called Bai Xiong.
Having disappeared for so many days, it was time to give a call to his teammates, or they might really believe he had been swallowed by the worm horde. It would be quite the awkward moment to reappear only to find they had even dug a grave for him.
The call connected quickly.
"Hi..." he greeted as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
Unexpectedly, the voice that came from the other end wasn't Bai Xiong's.
"Is this obnoxious tone how you always talk to him?" Song Xuan asked coldly.
"Uh..." Chen Xiao pondered for a moment: "Yep!"
"The fact that you haven't been beaten to death yet is really a stroke of luck!" Song Xuan's tone remained full of mockery and ridicule.
Chen Xiao didn't take it to heart: "Ah, that aside, why do you have Bai Xiong's phone?"
