Chapter 44: Extinction
  Mu Yechen was breaking through the heavy snow.
  He landed from the air, the acceleration of gravity made the dagger in his hand slash Wen Xing’s neck like a thunderbolt, making Wen Xing have to use a gun to resist.
  “Zi–”
  Sparks of metal collision shot out in the air, the dagger cut the barrel of the gun with one slash.
  Wen Xian jumped back with quick eyes and hands, barely avoiding Mu Yechen’s terrifying melee combat.
  But his tail wasn’t so lucky.
  The snake’s tail was nailed to the ground by a dagger, Wen Xing’s eyes suddenly widened and the scales on his cheeks stood upside making a hissing muffled sound, as if an animal had invaded its territory and was rushing towards the invading creature.
  The demonstrator had already fallen on the snow at this time.
  He rushed out from the blasting of the experimental tower. His black clothes were stained with gunpowder smoke and ashes but his eyes were still surprisingly sharp. He saw the sand bandit he had seen in the desert and Lin Xi, who was leaning in a tombstone.
  At this time, Lin Xi was covered in snow and it seemed that there was no residual warmth on his body.
  But Lin Xi was still looking at him.
  The human Xenogeneic still looked at him clearly with a pair of eyes that have never changed. The light in his eyes was shining, just like when he first saw him.
  “Commander Mu, how did you get here?” The sand bandit’s hoarse and sullen voice came from his ears.
  It was more than three miles from the experimental tower to the cemetery. Even the fastest helicopter couldn’t keep up with the flight of a sub-species, not to mention that no human means of transportation could be seen on the snowy plains here.
  But he happened to be here.
  Wen Song looked at Mu Yechen vigilantly, the amphibian’s eyes rolled and his eyes finally landed on a piece of fluttering feathers.
  That feather wasn’t dropped from any xenogeneic creature.
  But Mu Yechen didn’t have any trace of animalization.
  “You evolved heteroblast?” Wen Xun thought of the reason, his eyes gradually became surprised and shocked, then became angry again. He then glanced back at the cemetery, his brows again with sadness and loneliness.
  “Why is it you?” he asked.
  “I have someone to protect.” Mu Yechen replied, standing in human form, proving everything.
  Wen Xun’s expression changed several times and finally he roared fiercely. The snake tail pulled out the dagger that was nailed and rolled it around Mu Yechen’s neck.
  Mu Yechen’s reaction was still quick, he leaned back to avoid it, grabbed the dagger on his tail under the moving snake’s belly, and cut it to Wen Xing’s tail vertebra.
  The commander who was originally a human suddenly let out a hoarse cry like a different species.
  “Why is it you…”
  He repeated again, looking at this vast world and the Maka Peak Snow Mountain standing in the distance.
  This used to be the home he guarded.
  But the family abandoned him and everyone in the cemetery.
  The pursuit of those laboratories, the betrayal of the people, the betrayal of the administrators… He backtracked one by one, he finally laughed ferociously and mockingly.
  “Mu Yechen…Commander Mu,” he said, “You are a more successful commander than me but unfortunately you can’t escape the prison.”
  “The humans are selfish and treacherous and the other side has lost its value.”
  “Three hundred years, human beings will be destroyed.”
  He said, suddenly raised his head and let out a shrill hiss. The face that originally had facial features was suddenly completely covered by scales.
  Mu Yechen stepped back and avoided, only to see the animal wings behind the sand bandit in front of him unfolded again, like a xenogeneic returning to nature, with no human limbs on his body.
  Wen Xian’s clothes rustled.
  A stout winged snake emerged from the clothes. It flew into the air with its mutilated tail, the remaining hatred in its eyes was gradually concealed by ignorance.
  The snake’s belly pierced by the dagger was dripping with blood, it swam in the direction of the tombstone.
  The snake passed by the long red scarf.
  There was the logo of the Vanguard Battalion that was once famous.
  It turned a blind eye, flew with sorrow and finally fell into the cemetery.
  The wind and snow hit people and the mournful hiss of the cemetery became an absolute sound.
  Mu Yechen didn’t pay attention to the winged snake that left. He quickly walked to the tombstone and looked at Xiaobai leaning on the tombstone.
  Xiaobai was motionless, almost turned into a sculpture of ice and snow.
  Mu Yechen quickly brushed the snow off snow off Lin Xi’s face, shoulders, and body one by one.
  Lin Xi watched quietly, his eyes were rippling and tired, a calm smile appeared on his face.
  “You’re here,” he said.
  Mu Yechen’s hand froze, staying on Lin Xi’s face that had already turned into a bark of a tree.
  Lin Xi looked at Mu Yechen with infinite nostalgia and reluctance.
  He lowered his eyes, breathing slowly and continued with his voice that seemed to fade out of his hearing.
  “Commander Mu.” He whispered softly, “Our child will be born soon, please take care of him in the future.”
  He still called Mu Yechen ‘Commander Mu’.
  The blood under his body had dried up and a new fluid was gurgling out, the signs of premature birth were terrifying to see.
  Lin Xi still wanted to keep the secret of the two of them.
  Mu Yechen took off his windbreaker and gently wrapped it in Lin Xi.
  After countless difficulties and obsessions, he had a thousand words in his heart that he wanted to say. However at this moment, all the words became difficult to blurt out.
  Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take out the Phoenix Fire and put it in Lin Xi’s hand.
  “That day, I woke up and found this Phoenix Fire.”
  The Phoenix Fire was originally a coming-of-age gift from his father. With his father’s position in his heart, he would definitely keep this gun carefully and treasure it.
  But the gun was already engraved as someone else.
  “I think at that time, he who wrote the letter must be trying to warn me in the future to beware of the laboratory.”
  Mu Yechen said this, his eyes were already wet.
  He thought of a glimpse of his childhood in his memory.
  Those sparkling moments…
  “Lin Xi, I remember the first time we met,” he said.
  Lin Xi’s eyelashes began to trembled slightly.
  His originally calm expression finally fluctuated. After a while, he suddenly raised his eyes again and looked at the commander in front of him again.
  Mu Yechen was right in front of him, fading away the impulse of youth, he was also contaminated with time and heavy duty of the world.
  Lin Xi’s eyes gradually became wet and blurry, tears rolled down to his cheeks.
  He grabbed Mu Yechen, tried his best to pounce on him and hugged him tightly.
  With all of his life.
  “Mu Yechen.” He finally called the man’s name again, his voice sobbing.
  “Mu Yechen, I’m dying.”
  He finally whimpered.
  “Mu Yechen, but I want to live a little longer.”
  “I want to go to that island, I want to live there with you, I want to go to our paradise, I want to be with you all the time…”
  The wind and snow were heavy, only Lin Xi’s trembling voice could be heard in the whistling sound of the wind.
  “I just want to be with you…” he cried.
  Mu Yechen hugged Lin Xi tightly, he carefully brushed Lin Xi’s white hair over and over again.
  The thing he regretted most in his life was letting Lin Xi leave alone five years ago.
  He comforted Lin Xi in front of the cemetery and picked him up carefully.
  “It’s over.” The experimental tower was ruined.
  “I’ll take you to that island, together.” It was their paradise.
  “Cang Jie is nearby. He is a military doctor, he must have a way to treat you.” They walked through the heavy snow and never wanted to be separated.
  The original messy footprints, traces, and bloodstains were gradually covered up by the heavy snowstorm. Mu Yechen’s footprints were deep and shallow, were also covered by the snow in the wind.
  All that was left at the scene were rows of tombstones, the backs of the two who had gone away, and a pile of scattered relics.
  A gust of wind blew by.
  The clothing in the relic was lifted, revealing a circular sound wave device with a precision instrument.
  It was the sound wave device that the advance troops had once buried near the village of Gaia, trying to change the trajectory of the thin beast tide.
  The meter was moving and the red pointer moved slowly, suddenly pointing to the world outside the cemetery.
  At this moment, the ground suddenly began to tremble.
  With the shaking, a cloud of flowing clouds appeared in the distant horizon.
  “Ouu–“
  “Ouu–“
  The long cries sounded from the sky above the north, shaking the heaven and the earth.
  Mu Yechen hugged Lin Xi and slowly turned back.
  He saw a whale in the distance again.
  This time, the whales trudged in mighty north from the other side.
  To the north is the location of the Maca Peak Snow Mountain.
  On the lofty mountain peak, a huge creature climbed to the top of the peak. It raised its long elephant trunk and made a triumphant sound, agitating the air to spread thousands of miles.
  The snow on the top of the Maka Peak Snow Mountain collapsed suddenly and a large amount of ​​snow fell like a severed cliff, hitting the city below Maka Peak.
  There was a rumbling sound in their ear.
  They looked up and found that the avalanche erected from the 100-meter-high wall, which was rapidly devouring everything on the other side.
