An'an: I woke up and my house was gone, and now I'm going to be killed! QAQ
Chapter 2
Seeing that not only was her home about to be demolished, but she was also about to be wiped out, Yu An reached out and grabbed Pei Si's clothes.
Pei Si noticed the commotion and turned around to look.
Yu An's brown eyes widened slightly. He returned the last piece of candy in his pocket to Pei Si, his hand trembling slightly as he handed it over.
"Here, take it."
He doesn't want the candy anymore.
Pei Si raised an eyebrow when he saw the candy. He peeled off the candy coating, pinched Yu An's cheek with his large hand, and stuffed the candy into his mouth as it was forced open.
"I ate something before I came in, so don't save any for me."
After stuffing the candy into his mouth, Pei Si ruffled his curly hair and muttered, "You're quite well-behaved."
She was hungry herself, yet she still remembered to save candy for him.
Yu An: "..."
Yu An's meaning was misinterpreted, so he kept quiet and continued to play dumb.
As I walked along, the once neat and clean Secret Shield Research Institute was completely unrecognizable, now filled with monsters that would bite anyone they saw.
Pei Si said that these monsters are called the Polluters.
Besides being called polluters, they also have a name that the public is more used to calling them—
Zombies.
The origins of zombies are unknown. They are extremely aggressive and feel no pain. There is only one way to deal with them: headshots.
When Pei Si mentioned headshots, Yu An subconsciously touched his own head.
fine.
He's not infected, so he won't get shot in the head.
After deploying a simple battle plan, Pei Si led his squad forward.
Yu An followed at the back, with Pei Si's deputy, Meng Han, beside him. The group seemed to have received a lucky buff; although they encountered several dangers before reaching the No. 1 biological chamber, they suffered no losses.
The entrance to Biological Room No. 1.
Meng Han, who was closest to Yu An, took advantage of Pei Si's inattention to pinch Yu An's cheek: "Little lucky star, please bless us so that we'll all be safe and sound later."
Yu An looked conflicted.
They came to demolish my house, and now they want me, the homeowner, to bless it?
"Be careful, everyone."
Pei Si inspected the doors and windows without blinking. He almost held his breath and whispered, "There are ten life forms in Room 1. No matter what state they are in, we must eliminate them all."
Upon hearing this, the others also tensed up; they had risked their lives to come here for this very moment.
Yu An was placed in a relatively safe corner, her eyes not on the door, but on Pei Si.
Pei Si said the wrong thing.
There are not ten, but eleven life forms in Biological Room 1.
He, and the ten adorable babies he picked up.
The kids are a little different from him.
They have different animal mimicry; some cubs have furry ears, while others have big tails.
There was another little octopus that didn't like its short wings and would always bury its face in its chest and cry. The little octopus next to it would hit it whenever it saw it crying.
Baby octopuses have eight small tentacles, giving them an advantage in fights; they are the tyrants among the baby octopuses.
Selina told him that these babies were mutants resulting from the fusion of animal genes.
The mutants are safest living in the laboratory. Once they are out in the wild, death awaits them.
The room was deathly silent; there was no sound whatsoever.
Pei Si glanced at the time on her wristwatch; there was still half an hour before a car would be waiting for them outside the lab.
Without further hesitation, he raised his gun and pushed open the door.
The door opened.
What came into view was a child sitting on the ground with his back to them. Calling him a child wouldn't be quite right, since no child has three heads and a face covered in scales.
The oddly-looking child was playing with a red airplane model with his head down, and suddenly began to hum a song.
"Fold paper into airplanes."
Whoosh, it took flight.
Pick up your brother, let's go home and play.
His small, withered hands, like dry twigs, waved the airplane with all his might, and the sound of him humming a nursery rhyme grew louder and louder.
Everyone stared at this bizarre scene, a chill creeping down their spines.
Yu An suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
The one with three heads is not his offspring, but a variant among creatures number 2.
The mutants among the second-generation creatures are bizarre and difficult to teach; Selina never allows anyone to get close.
Yu An remembered seeing him once before she climbed into the capsule to sleep. But he wasn't as big as he is now back then.
After just one night's sleep, Yu An felt that many things were a bit unfamiliar.
Pei Si was not intimidated by the mutant before him. He raised his hand and swiftly pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang bang—"
Three shots in a row, each hitting the target.
Pei Si's marksmanship was personally trained by Xie Chiyuan at the Chenyu Training Camp. Apart from Xie Chiyuan, no one could compare to his marksmanship.
"Whoosh, let's fly up. Pick up my brother, let's go home and play."
"Pick up your brother, let's go home and play."
The child who had been hit on the forehead hummed more and more urgently, and the lyrics of the nursery rhyme kept repeating the last line.
His childish voice sent chills down one's spine, and cold sweat beaded on Meng Han's nose: "Brother Pei, how come he can't be killed?!"
Pei Si remained calm and continued firing follow-up shots.
Bullets were fired one by one, hitting the child's forehead, Adam's apple, eyes, and other vital areas.
Yu An covered his head in disbelief at Pei Si's head-smashing technique.
The child whose head had been blown off had a gaping hole in it. He raised his little hand and touched each of his heads.
The first head asked the second head, "Are you hungry?"
The second head yelled, "I'm so full I'm going to throw up!"
The third head interrupted irritably, "I want to eat! I want to eat blood-stained eyeballs, fresh eyeballs!"
The conversation between the several heads was perfectly clear to everyone in the team.
This monster eats people.
Yu An also understood.
He looked around his familiar room and found scattered pieces of flesh on the carpet. The cartoon-patterned carpet was soaked in blood and unrecognizable.
Yu An's face hardened; she was displeased.
This blanket was knitted by my little Shizai himself, and it took him three whole months to knit it!!!
Pei Si and his team were still relentlessly attacking the little deformed creature, who had already stood up from the carpet. He had no legs, and his pants were filled with thick vines.
The vines supported the deformed little body, causing his three heads, riddled with bloody holes, to lunge at Pei Si simultaneously.
Pei Si dodged and engaged him in combat.
The area of the No. 1 creature's chamber was very large, and while the scene was in complete chaos, Yu An ran in by hugging the wall.
He ran straight inside.
The innermost part is where he sleeps and where the babies' nutrition is stored.
Yu An ran incredibly fast, afraid that if she ran too late she wouldn't be able to see her baby.
"Yu An! Come back!"
Pei Si spotted him and shouted sharply from behind, "It's dangerous inside!"
Yu An didn't listen to anything; he had already run inside.
The ten nutrient tanks, arranged neatly, were all empty. In fact, Yu An even saw a thick layer of dust on Xiao Shi's nutrient tank.
"Big cub."
"Second son."
"Third son."
Yu An called out "baby" repeatedly, but received no response.
In Xiao Shi's nutrient chamber, he found a diary.
The cover of the diary had six large characters written on it: "Diary for my brother".
The first day of the diary was June 5th, 2180, his eighteenth birthday.
[My older brother is asleep again. He said he's going to sleep for a long time this time.]
June 16, 2180.
[Waaaaah, Hachi hit me again! He's going to strangle me with his tentacles! He said I'm a scheming brat, deliberately clinging to my brother. I hate Hachi!]
