Chapter 1: The Savior
“The germ layer test has been completed, the number of infected people is 31 and no one has undergone heteroblast evolution. It is recommended to implement the plan: Clear The Population.”
There was a gust of wind in the open wasteland. The wind was mixed with the sound of the judgment issued by the detection equipment, like a smear in the polar regions.
In a ruin, the remnants of gunpowder smoke filled the air. A row of people bowed their heads and knelt on the sandstone, including women, old people, children.
They were dressed in frugal coarse cloth. After hearing the final announcement, someone raised their heads and stared at a standing figure on the wasteland.
The figure is thin, holding a dagger in his hand. The tip of the blade has blood falling drop by drop, condensing into a red color under his feet.
Next to it, there are also the corpses of his companions one after another.
“Traitor!”
The man kneeling on the ground finally roared.
“The lackey from the other side!”
“If you kill us, you won’t have to die. You know that we are your future!”
“Lin Xi, I wish your soul will go to hell after you die. I hope you will never be reborn!”
Curses and abuse are unscrupulous, the figure with the knife said nothing. In the cold wind, his body swayed slightly and a pair of empty eyes slowly turned to look at the crowd.
He has a mask clasps his features below his eyes, leaving only thin breathing holes. The fair skin exposed outside the mask shows that this person has a bright face.
There is also a suppressor under the mask, which locks impartially to the throat and neck.
He was wearing a black combat uniform with the base “other side” logo.
“The test has come out, all are infected.”
A surveillance officer next to him urged, “Lin Xi, hurry up, do you want me to help you complete the task?”
The rear broken hair loomed out to reveal the green signal light of the suppressor. The signal light further down, is a graceful spine line looming through the combat uniform.
The surveillance officer stared at the opponent’s back.
Suddenly picked up the suppressor button in his hand, shook it, and let out a nasty smile: “Say… you want to betray the base by moving so slowly? If you want to be punished, you can say something. You don’t need to write a report, I can let you taste the pain.”
The figure named Lin Xi turned his head sideways, his eyes flashed over the button with a hint of contempt.
An hour ago, he was instructed by the surveillance officer to kill the leader of the resistance army here, clearing the armed forces assembled in the rear.
Although he was slightly injured, the strength of the thirty-one captured infection survivors in front of him was still huge.
This is just a one-sided slaughter.
No… for the humanoid weapons created by the base, the human-defined behavior of “slaughter” may not be used. For him now, there is only a choice whether to carry out the mission or not.
The blood flowers bloomed and exploded from the prisoners. He cleaned one by one in the shrill screams and increasingly vicious curses, until the human noise in his ears slowly died down. He found himself in front of a survivor of the infection.
The last survivor of the infection was a seven- or eight-year-old girl. The little girl was wearing a simple vest and skirt, showing her arms that were reddened by the poisonous sun.
She looked at the corpse next to her and then at Lin Xi, her eyes were red with confusion and tears.
“Brother, why do you want to kill us, aren’t we the same kind?”
Lin Xi stopped.
“Hurry up.” The surveillance officer beside him urged.
“She didn’t evolve successfully and will not survive for three years. She will not pose as a threat to the base.” Lin Xi finally spoke.
He withdrew the dagger, his voice hoarse as the suppressor pressed against his respiratory system.
The surveillance officer was stunned when he heard it and walked curiously beside him while stepping on his shiny combat boots.
“Is that so? It turns out that this prisoner is a female, sigh-it’s so small, I don’t know how to bear it…”
“Bah-” Before the supervisor could finish his words, a tearing voice interrupted him.
He blinked and saw a vine inserted into the girl’s heart.
Where the vines spread out, it became Lin Xi’s hand.
“Brother…why…” The girl’s heart was shattered by Lin Xi’s supernatural power, and she still maintained her pre-death posture when she died, staring straight at the person in front of her.
Lin Xi also looked at her, watching her pupils dilate until the frame remained unchanged.
“Why, are you sympathizing with her?” The surveillance officer’s voice was like a maggot.
Lin Xi withdrew his blood-stained hand, tilted his head, and drew the disgust in his eyes into the shadows.
“This can’t be done.”
The surveillance officer held on to his mask and forced him to turn his head away, “Number 01 has feelings for aliens. If this officer reports to the laboratory, you will have to be cleaned again. “
Cleaning means “cleaning” from the inside and out. Not only the body, but also the memory.
Lin Xi knew that this was the surveillance officer’s threat to him. Before he knew the surveillance officer, he had been cleaned three times and the experience was not good.
Sure enough, the red-haired man in front of him leaned over, wrapped his arms around his waist and began to grope slowly: “But if you’re smarter, you don’t have to suffer these crimes.”
The opponent’s provocation around his waist was like crawling on his body. The mucus left by the gastropods makes people feel sick.
“Xiao Wei Fu, you are overstepping your line.” Lin Xi was finally forced to speak again.
“What’s the limit?” The surveillance officer’s hand did not stop but instead slowly probed along Lin Xi’s back to the tail vertebra.
He whispered in Lin Xi’s ear, “I heard from the laboratory that you can you give birth like a woman, is it true?”
Lin Xi’s body stiffened for a moment.
The surveillance officer smiled next to Lin Xi again: “I also heard that those people in the laboratory are preparing to assign you a sex object. You are so stubborn, you might as well follow me. It is better than that group of lunatics that will be assign to you.”
The people in the laboratory have no ethics at all.
No, in the base, all are the same.
Lin Xi smiled: “Xiao Wei Fu, so you know how to compare yourself to animals.”
The surveillance officer’s eyes narrowed like needles: “What did you say?”
“I said you are better than a pig and a dog.” Lin Xi back.
The words that came out of his mask were hoarse and mocking that made the surveillance officer’s face suddenly grim. He suddenly picked up the suppressor button in his hand and pressed it down.
Lin Xi suddenly felt that the suppressor between his neck was suddenly locked, and the trachea that had been squeezed was immediately restrained.
His breathing was stopped and he reached out to destroy the suppressor. Suddenly everything went black and the man had fallen first.
“Stinky Bastard, I won’t cure you!” The surveillance officer looked at the struggling man on the ground and released the button.
The suppressor was released and Lin Xi’s eyes regained a little clarity. He lay on the ground and saw the corpse of the prisoner next to him. The soil soaked with blood and the girl who looked at him, her head tilted with her eyes open.
“A human bastard. Do you really think he can kill a few people and go to heaven?”
The surveillance officer pressed the button again viciously, repeatedly playing: “I am your surveillance officer. No matter how powerful you are, you can’t disobey me. So when will you be enlightened?”
“Supervisor, then you should kill me quickly… if the other party thinks I am important…” Lin Xi replied with difficulty.
The surveillance officer’s expression became even more ferocious and he continued to press the suppressor switch ruthlessly.
Oxygen was squeezed again.
Lin Xi only felt that the scene in front of him was slowly collapsing and disintegrating. Slowly dissipating like a light spot, he tried in vain to pull the mask and suppressor, eventually finally stopped struggling…
He thought, it will not take less than two years anyway. In two years, he will be dead anyway.
His years of expedition, experimentation, and cleansing.
The people he killed could stack up mountains of corpses and the blood he had smeared could merge into a lake of blood. He had overdrawn his own life and now felt that living is nothing but shameless lingering.
He opened his eyes and watched the light in front of him disappear little by little. Half of his face was slowly covered with bark-like folds due to the physique of a mutant, quickly dried up and cracked, withering like rotten wood.
The two surveillance soldiers who were following along did not expect such a development.
One soldier stepped forward and hesitated: “Sir Fu, I heard from the laboratory staff that number 01 has recently suffered a physical problem and it seems to be quite serious. Let’s watch him more during the mission than punishing him?”
“Bastard.” Fu Xiao Wei was still scolding, “He is a mutant and can’t die. If you don’t give him a taste, he will still be punished.”
Lin Xi lay on the ground. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, he could no longer see his breathing in his chest.
His eyes stayed on the dusky sky. He only felt that the world was getting farther and farther away from him.
There seemed to be auditory hallucinations slowly in his ears. He heard that someone stepped on the wasteland.
“Mutants? Are there new mutants here?” The footsteps stopped. A deep voice suddenly sounded from his ear.
His heart shrank suddenly and his soul that was taken away was suddenly pulled back into the body.
The voice in his ears gradually became clear, he also heard the sound of the collision of the gun parts. Immediately, there were chaotic footsteps running over.
“Commander, why are there still people here? Damn it, what’s going on here, why are there so many corpses!” Someone else said while walking.
On the ruins, another team suddenly appeared.
The leader of the team was a tall and stern young man. He was holding a gun in his hand, the backlight help Lin Xi see his appearance.
His combat uniform is camouflage white, with a diamond-shaped badge on the right chest and a hexagram next to the badge, which is the logo of the regular army commander beyond the base.
There are three active regular army commanders on the other side, but there is only one young commander. It is said that five years ago, he led the troops to fight against the alien catastrophe by himself and was respected by the world as the savior.
The savior’s surname was Mu and his name was Yechen.
Mu Yechen.
The surveillance officer looked at the “Savior” in front of him.
Mu Yechen was also watching. His eyes were like torches, swept over the corpse on the ground then glanced at the person on the ground who was breathing weakly. He finally stopped at the same base badge on the other side.
The badge is still diamond-shaped, but unlike the regular army, this badge is covered with blood and has a small “L” mark on it.
He frowned, fingers on the trigger of the machine gun.
“The other side’s army doesn’t have someone like you in their team, which one did you negotiated with?”
