Chapter 35: Pandora II

    With the gunshot, the boy’s head shook violently. In the severe cold weather, the hot liquid splashed onto Lin Xi’s cheeks almost at the same time.

    Lin Xi felt that his running legs were weakening, his voice trembled.

    “Mu..Mu Yechen?” He asked cautiously.

    The answer to him was the increasing seepage of fluid on his shoulders.

    “Mu Yechen…” Lin Xi said again.

    The boy still didn’t respond, the hands around Lin Xi’s neck slowly loosened and swayed weakly in front of Lin Xi.

    “Mu Yechen.”

    Lin Xi closed his eyes, he felt his heart was broken.

    “If I protect this heart, can you live forever?”

    “But Lin Xi, I want to protect you, I don’t want you to be executed by them.”

    “Lin Xi, hurry up and carry me on your back, they have too many bullets…I-I said to protect you.”

    This world is cold, only the blood from the person behind him was hot.

    But now, this person’s body is losing body temperature little by little.

    He chose his path in a panic and finally escaped the attack range of the rebel camp in the hail of bullets and sneaked into the woods in the north.

    As long as he flees further in this direction, he can leave the control area of ​​the test tower on the other side, enter the grazing area of ​​the Maka Peak Snow Mountain in the north and hide in the vast snow field.

    But Lin Xi couldn’t move any more. He found a tree and gently put down Mu Yechen on his back with trembling hands.

    Bloody snow.

    Mu Yechen didn’t speak, he leaned back against the tree trunk, his forehead and body were covered with viscous liquid, even his normally smiling brows were soaked with red.

    A faint light appeared on the horizon.

    Lin Xi watched with hope.

    But the wind and light brushed through Mu Yechen’s hair and saw the hideous hole on his forehead.

    Lin Xi tried to open his mouth but  couldn’t help but to cover his cheeks, kneeled in the snow and cried bitterly.

    Even if he met alien species for the first time and his limbs were bitten off by them, he never cried like he did now.

    Mu Yechen said to protect his heart.

    … His heart was protected by Mu Yechen but why is it so uncomfortable now? So suffocated? So painful?

    Lin Xi couldn’t understand, he felt a splitting headache and the symbiotic archaea in his body began to climb up his head, knocking over his memory in a disorderly manner.

    The memories of a tongue in the ancient forest, the boy who was bitten by him and screamed in pain, and Mu Yechen who held him and said that he was finally taller than him…

    They are like the mirror image of the flowers, constantly shattering and reshaping, once and for all, clearer than ever.

    These memories kept surging, until the sound of rustling people walking in the woods came.

    Lin Xi slowly raised his head.

    An incandescent searchlight suddenly hit his eyes, face, and body.

    Lin Xi’s response was unprecedentedly sluggish.

    Tears were all over his face and he saw a man in a white coat walking slowly in the light.

    The man shot the light directly into his eyes.

    Lin Xi felt that his ugliness and embarrassment had nothing to hide.

    “Lin Xi, what did you do to my son?”

    “No..no…”

    Lin Xi wanted to defend but his thoughts and voices finally broke down.

    He knelt on the ground and was re-shackled by the lab staff.

    They were heavily guarded against him, constantly stimulating his eyeballs with white light, dragging him out of the snow.

    The white light was so dazzling that it made people dizzy, he looked back at Mu Yechen.

    Mu Yechen was surrounded by people in the laboratory. They looked at the boy’s eyelids, tested the boy’s heartbeat, and checked the boy’s wounds.

    Mu Yechen was motionless, the brainwaves in the test apparatus were slightly beating twice, leveling out indefinitely.

    Some shook their heads, others sighed softly.

    Mu Yechen’s father was also standing in front of the young man with his back to Lin Xi, his figure was tall like a heavy, impenetrable mountain.

    Lin Xi suddenly pushed away the people in the laboratory beside him, struggling to run to Mu Yechen’s father.

    “Dr. Mu, can he survive?” he asked anxiously.

    Mu Yechen’s father slowly turned his eyes and looked at him indifferently.

    Lin Xi felt like a clown. He was quickly pushed down by those who were chasing him, he quickly struggled to grab Dr. Mu’s trouser legs.

    “Dr. Mu, you must save him.”

    Someone was breaking his hand.

    Lin Xi was not reconciled, he lay on the ground, raised his head and began to beg.

    “Doctor, you must have a way, don’t you?”

    “You must have a way to save Mu Yechen, as long as you can save him, I will do anything.”

    “Dr. Mu, I will let you draw blood every day, I will cooperate with your experiments…I-I can also help you kill the rebels…”

    “Yes, I can kill them, I can help you clear all those who oppose the laboratory, as long as Mu Yechen is alive, I am willing to do anything for you…” He cried, no matter how ugly his posture was.

    But Mu Yechen’s father ignored him. He was dragged out of the snow and locked back into the claustrophobic secret room on all sides.

    This was followed by seven days and seven nights of confinement.

    Until the last day, the door of the secret room was finally opened, Lin Xi raised his head in a daze and saw Mu Yechen’s father in the light of the door.

    “Lin Xi, do you remember what you said?”

    “Remember… I remember.” He got up and slowly climbed forward.

    “Mu Yechen is already brain dead. He was shot sixteen times, all because of you.”

    “…” Lin Xi shrank his body in fear, raised his head, and kept bitting his lips.

    “But his heart is still alive.” Dr. Mu looked at Lin Xi with a solemn voice, “The only thing that can save him now is the old human transformation plan. We will inject your serum into his body according to the plan and put his human body into a mutant of the second generation.”

    Lin Xi’s body trembled, he remembered the words of the people in the laboratory, he remembered that no one of the mutants from second generation could survive.

    Dr. Mu placed a blood collection device in front of him.

    “Lin Xi, whether you can save Mu Yechen or not depends on your performance this time.”

    Lin Xi held up the blood collection tube with trembling hands.

    Dr. Mu stared at him.

    Lin Xi held the needle in his heart, he kept praying devoutly and finally his eyes became firm. He took off his dirty clothes, reached into his chest and peeled off the flesh next to him.

    There is a heart beating inside.

    Lin Xi pierced his atrium with the tip of a needle. He watched the blood follow his heartbeat, filling one test tube at once, and took the next tube with trembling hands.

    Eventually, a row of test tubes was finally filled.

    Lin Xi pulled out the blood collection device, lowered his head and pushed out the blood samples with his blood-stained hands, offering them to Mu Yechen’s father.

    Dr. Mu picked up the blood sample with white isolation gloves, turned around and closed door again.

    After that, three days passed.

    The door opened again and this time, Mu Yechen’s father walked in with a group of people wearing isolation suits.

    “Mu, Dr. Mu…” Lin Xi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

    He stumbled forward again, with the clanging of shackles, his voice stuttering and articulating hard.

    “Dr. Mu, what happened to Mu Yechen?”

    Mu Yechen’s father didn’t answer him. Instead, the group of people in isolation suits stepped forward and put a precise collar around his neck.

    They held Lin Xi up and dragged him out of the confinement room.

    Lin Xi looked at it blankly.

    He saw the light in the laboratory again, so uncomfortable that his eyeballs were pierced, he shook his head and looked at Dr. Mu who was leading the way.

    “Dr. Mu, is Mu Yechen still alive?”

    “Dr. Mu, has he been transformed successfully?”

    “Dr. Mu, can I see him?”

    The footstep stopped.

    Lin Xi looked at him with hope.

    Dr. Mu turned around, he looked at the dirty and smelly human xenogeneic and finally landed on the other side’s collar.

    “The transformation was successful.” He suddenly smiled slowly.

    Lin Xi slowly opened his eyes with tears in his eyes, he suddenly laughed along with him.

    He smiled innocently and silly.

    But Dr. Mu’s next sentence broke all his expressions.

    “But Mu Yechen doesn’t remember you.” Dr. Mu said, “He got a bullet in his brain. Even if the archaea reconstructed his brain, he wouldn’t remember what happened before.”

    Lin Xi’s smile slowly froze.

    “So…Lin Xi, you don’t need to remember him anymore.”

    Lin Xi was stunned.

    “Doctor, what do you mean?”

    “I’m going to take you to rewash.”

    “N-no… Dr. Mu, he’s Mu Yechen, I don’t want to forget him.”

    Lin Xi hurriedly began to struggle, but sooner, he felt someone wrapped around his neck and tightly restrained his throat.

    He slammed onto the white floor of the lab. His face flushed red, he couldn’t breathe, and he kept scratching the collar around his neck with his hands.

    But the collar was as strong as a shackle.

    He gave up breathing and began to stretch out his hand to Mu Yechen’s father with difficulty.

    “Mu, Dr. Mu…I-I beg…beg you…”

    But Dr. Mu didn’t answer him.

    “Lin Xi, remember what you said. Mu Yechen is still alive, you have to fulfill your promise. After cleaning your memory, you will no longer be an experimental subject but a laboratory executioner.”

    He said while sneering, turned back, and strode forward.

    Lin Xi saw the tightly pressed button in his hand.

    He felt it was getting dark and the world was spinning.

    The person next to him dragged him to the door of the cleaning room.

    Lin Xi’s eyes darkened and he fainted completely.

    “Gululu, Gululu…”

   The bubbles in the nutrient solution floated up intermittently, the white-haired Lin Xi also fainted completely. He couldn’t hear a sound, couldn’t see the light, couldn’t feel anything around him, and time changed on him.

    From time to time, he would wake up, as if he had returned to that terrifying and deep confinement and sometimes he struggled chaotically but his limbs were chained, he couldn’t even perceive his own physical state.

    All his circumstances were clearly projected on the monitor room screen.

    In front of the huge petri dish, a head was watching Lin Xi, watching his stomach that was beginning to bulge slightly.

    It opened up the various data on the list, and looked at the fetus that began to take shape in Lin Xi’s genital cavity through the color doppler with satisfaction.

    It was at this moment that Dr. Ameka opened the door of the monitoring room.

    “Head.” The female doctor reported fairly and justly, “We checked all the routes that were invaded and found that two people broke into the experimental tower at the same time last night.”

   The head turned slowly and looked at Ameka.

    “Oh? Two people?”

    “Yes. These two people don’t seem to know each other. They met near Room 01, and they both thought the other was our escort and a fierce confrontation occurred. It triggering the laboratory’s alarm device, and all employees evacuated from the experimental tower.”

    She said, recalling the video captured by surveillance last night.

    At night, ultraviolet rays restored the scene outside No. 01. In front of the screen, two vigorous figures appeared at the same time, attacking each other’s vitals almost at the same time.

    One of them used the orthodox military boxing in the army, while the other leaned forward vigorously, the weapon in his hand changed lightly into barbs to open the opponent’s stomach.

    Almost at the same time, both of them found each other’s difficulties and avoided each other.

    Looking at the head without blinking, he suddenly looked at the guy with the dagger and laughed.

    “Tsk tsk, tsk tsk…” His laughter sounded chilling.

    “Master, do we need to track down their whereabouts or add a surveillance officer to No. 01?”

    “No.”

    Dr. Ameka didn’t speak any more, she suddenly looked at the human Xenogeneic that was bound in the nutrient solution in the tempered glass .

    The head didn’t see her expression, he used the robotic arm to slowly stroke the image of one of them.

    “The person here is Mu Yechen.” As he said, he suddenly laughed out loud.

    “He’s a real savior.”
