As the instigator of all this, Cheng Ye's leading action of showing support naturally caught Miao Yang's attention.
"Are you here to train too?"
"Yeah." Miao Yang replied gloomily, not because he was antisocial, but because he couldn't find a common topic to discuss with Cheng Ye.
He was a retired veteran while Cheng Ye was a respected Inspector in the Buffer Zone.
Flattery seemed unnecessary, yet he couldn't find a suitable pretext to build a connection.
Moreover, he couldn't bring himself to flatter.
The two walked towards the main entrance, Cheng Ye seemingly unaware of any class difference, casually asking, "I heard you mention that after a Hydrophilic infection source parasitizes, it can amplify human emotions, especially fear, which grows over time. Is this an isolated case or a common phenomenon?"
"Huh?"
Miao Yang suddenly stopped, responding instinctively, "You heard that?"
"Of course, I did. Didn't you explain it well?"
