Chapter 39: The Pure Land
  Lin Xi’s eyes flickered and his heart was already full of tears.
  In order to obtain information and complete the task as soon as possible, Lin Xi took the risk by using himself without knowing the surveillance officer. As a result, he accidentally ingested the drug specially made by mutants for slaves and fell on the bed weak for two days. .
  Mu Yechen also took care of Lin Xi for two days. He understood that Lin Xi acted quickly with efficiency as the criterion, never cared about his own safety, and had nowhere to vent his resentment until Lin Xi went to sleep with a gun and shot into the earthen house turning the mutants in the entire Carnival City upside down.
  Their identities were learned by the rebel battalion commander. In order to save their lives, the rebels issued a bounty in the city for the two of them and actually instigated most of the mutants in the city to come and hunt them down.
  While fighting off the mutants, the young surveillance officer and the human Xenomorph looked for the betrayed Beicheng soldiers. When they were forced to the wall by the mutants, they saw the Lion Claws stretched out its long neck, carrying the city on their backs.
  “Boom–“Â
  “Boom–“
  The mutants began to be thrown off one by one by the bumpy ride.Â
  Mu Yechen hooked the lion’s neck with a rope, pulled Lin Xi to escape the fate of being thrown and flew back and forth in the air. They struggled to climb onto the lion’s head, facing the frantic wind and looking at the changing world ahead.Â
  From the perspective of the giant beast, the pits left by the meteorite are dotted, the mutated plants grow upward, and the giant rat ants pass through from time to time.
  The world is desolate yet full of vitality.Â
  In the apocalypse of human beings, the morning sun is still climbing and the vast world has not yet been annihilated.
   Mu Yechen watched, stretched out his hand and hugged Lin Xi tightly. There were no mutants around, and he could clearly hear Lin Xi’s heartbeat.
   “Lin Xi.”Â
  “Surveillance Officer…”Â
  Lin Xi turned his head sideways but before the last word came out, he stopped silently.
  He felt a touch like butterfly on his lips.
  In the torrent of time like a drop in the ocean, it is like a mayfly that lives and dies.
  “Hoo——”
  The eyes of the lion-horned amphibian twitched and when it saw the human xenogeneic and his mutant, the corners of its mouth curved and roared toward the sky and the ground.
  Lin Xi could no longer hear the voices of other alien species around him. He curled his fingers several times and let go and suddenly, he could no longer hold on and gently held Mu Yechen’s face.
  He leaned forward and bit Mu Yechen’s lower lip lightly with his teeth.
  Mu Yechen’s breathing was instantly disrupted. He stretched out his hand to hold the back of Lin Xi’s head, leaned forward and used his tongue to pry Lin Xi’s lips and teeth apart.
  Lin Xi wrapped his arms around the neck of the man in front of him and let out a soft smile.
  Day and night come, the wind in the desert blows over the city, the full moon climbs on the horizon and it looks extra bright in the dark.
  After a day of migration, the Lion Claws finally slowly put down his footsteps and roamed the sand dunes facing the moonlight.
  Mu Yechen and Lin Xi also sat quietly on top of each other.
  He took out his gun and was using a knife to inscribe the inside of the barrel.
  There was smoke lingering from the edge of his blade, curling up in the night.
  Lin Xi curiously and quietly stepped forward to take a look.
  It was the Phoenix Fire, a gun gifted by Dr. Mu to his son as an adult.
  Under the moonlight, he saw a row of small characters on this gift.
  ——Protect Lin Xi.
  In the following two years, Mu Yechen began to take Lin Xi to explore places outside the other world through the tasks assigned by the laboratory.
  At first they followed the Lion Claws to the vast sand sea and rode geese through lava depressions, rode cattle and horses across huge craters, followed the insect swarm to visit the abandoned rainforest, and finally saw the north in the cold winter. Wrapped in silver, the aurora is passing all over the sky, as gorgeous as fireworks in the world.
  Three hundred years after the virus hit the earth, nature still builds a complete ecology in a variety of ways. With the rise of creatures, it is followed by a magnificent stroke and the extinction of creatures. It turns the page in the picture book of time, for the next generation of species.
  The two traveled in this vast world and finally found an island in a vast sea.
  There are no archaea and no Xenogeneic species on the island. It is like Noah’s Ark built for human habitation, quietly standing in a corner of the world.
  Except for Lin Xi and his surveillance officer, no one found was here.
  They cultivated this pure land, chose a secluded water pool and built a small wooden house beside it.
  “When we return to the other side this time, let’s buy some seeds to sow and when the crops grow here, we can live together here.”
  They discussed the future quietly.
  “Seed? live together?”
  “Yeah, this year, the rebels have been cleaned up by us and my father has completely mastered the military and politics of the other side. When the matter of the Secret Service is over, my father has no reason to keep you,I’ll take you away.”
  “But I’m an experimental subject, and you are the first generation II mutant to successfully evolve. I’m afraid of Dr. Mu…”
  “Lin Xi, even if my father doesn’t agree, I will take you and leave the lab.”
  Lin Xi remembered that the boy told him that year.
  His eyes lit up slightly and the waves in his eyes flickered.
  He also remembered what kind of price the boy paid that year.
  If it happens again…
  Lin Xi suddenly held the hand of the surveillance officer tightly.
  However, those times eventually passed.
  In front of the culture vessel in the laboratory, there was a sound of an iron chain wheel rolling. Someone turned on the switch of the vessel and salvaged the sleepy Lin Xi from the nutrient solution.
  Lin Xi was tied to his limbs on the iron rope frame, he was still in an unconscious drowsiness.
  The man who salvaged him watched for a while, then rudely unplugged his mouth plug, earplugs, and rudely tore off the blindfold on his head.
  They also have a bucket of cold water and poured it from the alien’s head with a “swoosh”.
  Lin Xi woke up suddenly, coughing and splashing water everywhere.
  Soon, he heard human voices.
  “Is he the executioner?”
  “Yes.”
  “Fu Yibo’s last mission was to be with this man?”
  “Yes, they accepted the recovery of the DL18 reagent. Number 01 was captured by the leader but Xiao Fu didn’t come back.’
  The speaker gritted his teeth and his voice was full of disgust.
  “Xenogeneic is a different species. Your lab actually cultivated this kind of creature and used a man’s body to conceive and give birth, it’s really ugly and disgusting.”
  The white light from the lab pierced his eyeballs through the thin eyelids. He lowered his eyes heavily and saw the white tiles in the monitoring room.
  Four figures are reflected on the tiles.
  Among them, a woman walked up to him.
  “You bitch, you haven’t woken up yet.”
  Another bucket of icy snow water was poured down from scratch.
  Lin Xi snorted, his white hair was dripping with water and half of his face that had returned, slowly raised his head to look at the unexpected visitor.
  He saw Dr. Ameka and a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties.
  The woman was wearing the clothes of an administrator and was sitting in front of him, looking at him from top to bottom.
  But the woman in front of him looked at his abdomen the most.
  He also glanced down.
  In the petri dish, his facial features were sealed and he had no concept of time for a long time. At the time he regained his vision, he finally saw that his originally flat abdomen was bulging like a pregnant woman.
  Just like what the laboratory breeding plan had simulated at the beginning, he was pregnant with the flesh and blood of Mu Yechen, the savior.
  Now, the child has taken shape.
