Chapter 1
August, the height of summer.
The temperature 300 meters underground was bitterly cold, and the entire laboratory had been paralyzed since the power was switched on. The air conditioning was out of order, and the cold air blowing in through the pipes howled through all the rooms.
"thump--"
The trash can near the door suddenly tipped over, and Yu An, who had just woken up, was thrown out.
There was thick, disgusting blood on the ground, and not far away was a distorted, mangled corpse with its face pressed against the ground.
The body was dressed in a blue laboratory lab coat, with a small red fish embroidered on the back of the coat near the shoulder blades. The fish had a chubby tail.
Yu An's eyes were unfocused as he stared at the fat tail, panting heavily to relieve the pain.
After a while, before the pain had subsided, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from the door behind him.
Yu An turned around reflexively, and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing who it was.
It was Selina who took care of him.
He struggled to his feet, his voice hoarse and broken as he spoke: "Selina, what happened here? Someone...someone is dead."
He remembers clearly that he was still unwrapping his eighteenth birthday presents before going to sleep.
Among his birthday gifts was a sleep capsule given to him by his father, with a few letters written on it by his father.
Fond dream.
Sweet dream.
The father hoped that he, who always had trouble sleeping, would have a sweet dream.
Yu An slowly climbed into the capsule after washing up. Then, just now, he woke up to find himself no longer in the capsule, but thrown into a trash can.
Yu An's mind was in a daze for a moment. He wanted to ask what was going on with the bloodstains and the corpse, and he also wanted to ask who had abandoned him.
He was in poor health from a young age, and when he was four, his family doctor said he was going to die.
After hearing what the doctor said, the father smoked all night.
The next day, he was sent to the Secret Shield Research Institute for treatment, where he stayed for fourteen years.
The full name of the MiShield Research Institute is the MiShield Biological Research Institute, and it is also known as the Institute of Infectious Disease Medicine. It is the world's leading research base for cutting-edge biological and medical research.
Yu An has always considered this place her home.
He looked at Selina, who was still silent, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes: "Senina, why aren't you talking to me?"
Selina's hair was tied up, and her glasses were nowhere to be seen. Her face was deathly pale, and her bloodshot eyes looked unfocused.
Upon catching Yu An's voice, Selina's nails, which were hanging by her sides, suddenly turned a ferocious purplish-red.
Yu An didn't notice her fingernails. In his view, Selina's clothes were clean, and apart from her strange expression, he couldn't see anything unusual.
The two remained locked in this stalemate. Just as Yu An's headache became unbearable and he was about to ask Selina for a painkiller, Selina, who had been standing motionless, suddenly opened her mouth towards him.
Yu An: "!"
Yu An's pupils contracted sharply for a moment. He instinctively dodged to the side, his voice trembling with fear: "Selina!"
The moment she opened her mouth, Slina's originally pale face was covered with bluish-purple veins, and blood actually dripped from her bloodshot eyes. Her fingernails, like sharp eagle claws, seemed to leave afterimages as she grabbed at Yu An.
Yu An hid in a sorry state.
He looked at Selina, who resembled a demon, and his head, which had been throbbing since he woke up, now felt like it was about to explode.
"I...I am Yu An!"
He spoke hurriedly, trying to make Selina recognize him.
Selina has taken meticulous care of him for over a decade, always by his side during his treatments. She treats him like her own child and would never harm him.
Unfortunately, this thought vanished the moment Selina lunged at him and pounced on his face with her teeth.
"It's over."
Yu An thought desperately that he was going to be eaten.
Selina had previously praised his soft cheeks, and now that she was going to nibble on them, she naturally started with his face.
Yu An struggled but couldn't move, so he closed his eyes and waited to be devoured.
At the critical moment, a figure stood at the door.
The next second, "Bang!"
A bullet pierced Selina's forehead, splattering a flower of blood.
The sound of gunfire made Yu An's ears ring. He opened his eyes and watched as Selina slowly fell down, as if in slow motion.
In the instant she collapsed, Selina's bloodshot eyes briefly cleared. She reached out and, with her last bit of strength, slipped a small object into Yu An's pocket.
Yu An had a headache and earache. The series of unexpected events had left him completely dazed, so he didn't notice Selina's subtle actions at all.
"Meng Han, check it out."
As the gunshots subsided, a tall man lowered his gun and led his squad in. He turned his head and gave instructions to the soldiers beside him.
Upon receiving the order, Meng Han quickly tossed the body that had fallen on Yu An aside and squatted down to routinely check its condition.
"Hey little one, how are you feeling? Do you have any wounds?"
Meng Han asked with concern, his slightly chubby face looking kind and approachable. However, his righ
