"Brother...save me..."

The cry mixed with sobbing echoed in the empty building. The slightly trembling cry was full of helplessness and fear, which made Mo Yuankai feel distressed. He searched the empty building more and more anxiously for the owner of the voice.

"They drew my blood, and kept drawing it... I felt so uncomfortable, so painful, oooo..."

"Brother, save me, I'm so scared..."

Every time he lost his way, the crying voice would sound again in the eerie corridor, hollow and deep. Mo Yuankai felt distressed and hurriedly ran to the basement following the source of the sound.

When the elevator reached the underground negative floor, the voice became clearer and closer. Mo Yuankai followed the direction of the voice and walked towards the innermost room.

As soon as he stood in front of the door, it creaked open automatically.

In the dim little house, a petite white figure could be vaguely seen standing with her back to him. Mo Yuankai could not help but step inside and called out to the girl from behind, "Yuanchu?"

The girl turned around after hearing the noise, and the moment she saw Mo Yuankai, she rushed towards the man and hugged Mo Yuankai's waist. "Brother..."

Mo Yuankai touched the girl's back and patted her gently to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I'll take you away right away."

But at this moment, the girl who buried her head in the man's arms, her black eyes suddenly turned blood red, and she bit Mo Yuankai's neck.

"Yuanchu..." The man felt a pain and suddenly sat up in shock.

Outside the window next to the bed in the dormitory, the sky was just getting light. Hou Jing, who was in the lower bunk, poked his head and looked up: "Boss, did you have a nightmare?" Looking at the man who was frightened and sweating, he felt a little unbelievable. In the past, the boss always looked strong and unruly. Where had Hou Jing seen him... so scared?

Mo Yuankai got up from the bed and went straight to the bathroom to turn on the shower. He stood under the shower head and let the warm water wet his hair and rinse his body, washing away the stickiness of cold sweat.

He closed his eyes, and the scenes in the nightmare reappeared in his mind. Since leaving City Z, Mo Yuankai rarely had that dream again. But on the first day after arriving in City B, the nightmare that had troubled him in the past reappeared and entangled him.

The same experimental building, the same gloomy corridor, the same small room, Mo Yuanchu called him over and over again. When he was in City Z, the scenes in his dreams always stopped abruptly after he found the room that trapped Mo Yuanchu.

But in the dream when he arrived at the base in City B, although the door of the room was opened and he saw his sister, Mo Yuanchu bit him again and again.

Mo Yuankai stroked the side of his neck. Every time he was awakened by a nightmare, the pain of biting through flesh and blood would take a long time to subside, making him unable to distinguish between reality and nightmare several times.

Every time he heard his sister in his nightmare asking him for help, her cries of pain, Mo Yuankai felt distressed and apologetic, and he regretted all the time the decision he had made to hand Mo Yuanchu over to the shelter base in City Z.

He hated himself even more for not protecting his sister.

If Mo Yuanchu had not been bitten by a zombie, he would not have believed the people of the Z City Gene Lock Company with a glimmer of hope and entrusted his sister to them to conduct the test of opening the shitty gene lock. This ultimately led to Mo Yuanchu falling into an unknown and painful situation.

At the beginning of the R virus outbreak, everyone in the chaotic city was fleeing. After Mo Yuankai learned from others that there was a shelter set up by the Gene Lock Company outside the city, he took his sister there, but due to various encounters, Mo Yuanchu was suddenly bitten by a zombie on the way.

When he was hopeless, someone from the Z City Shelter Gene Company told Mo Yuankai that as long as they started the gene unlocking experiment, his sister would have a chance to survive. He entrusted his sister to them without any doubt, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

I still remember that what they said and the promises they made were almost the same as what the Amber City Lord said when they first arrived at the base in City B. Mo Yuankai knew that the success rate of only 20 to 30 percent was his sister's last hope of survival, and even though this hope was very slim, he wanted to give it a try.

Naturally, he was also prepared for the possibility of failure, so when he heard the bad news from the gene lock, Mo Yuankai was not very disappointed, but only sighed that it was his fate. Although he had been praying, this was a fact that could not be changed.

But when he wanted to take his sister's body back to bury her personally, the person who had the gene lock put him off with all kinds of excuses.

First of all, it was said that Mo Yuanchu had completely turned into a zombie due to the failure of gene unlocking. For safety reasons, living zombies were not allowed to appear in the base, so naturally, all the people who had been transformed into zombies were burned by them.

Mo Yuankai blamed them for burning his sister's body without informing him first, so that he could not even see his sister for the last time. Unexpectedly, perhaps the people in the gene lock were impatient with his accusations, and they changed their faces and drove him out of the experimental building with an indifferent attitude.

Since returning that day, Mo Yuankai had that dream. His sister in the dream kept asking him for help. She was so helpless and in so much pain, and the dream was so real. After waking up, he doubted the people with the gene lock for the first time.

Therefore, as long as he didn't see Mo Yuanchu's body, he didn't believe that his sister died like that. Mo Yuankai came to the door again, and seeing that he was pestering, the people of the gene lock suddenly changed their words. This time, they said that Mo Yuanchu, who had transformed into a zombie, was shot dead by them and thrown into a mass grave two miles away from the shelter base.

In order to find his sister's body, Mo Yuankai searched in the mass grave for three days and three nights. He endured the overwhelming stench of decayed corpses as he searched through and identified the bodies one by one.

On the fourth day, he returned with the stench of corpses all over his body, asking the people who had locked the gene lock why they had lied to him, whether his sister was still alive? Why on earth were they holding his sister hostage? And why had they lied to him again and again that Mo Yuanchu was dead?

Unexpectedly, he underestimated the shamelessness of the gene lock. Facing Mo Yuankai's questioning, they not only refused to admit it, but also beat him up severely on the pretext of causing trouble, leaving him half dead, and then threw him into a mass grave outside the shelter base.

He lay in despair amidst the stinking, sour pile of corpses.

The woman who had given him hope and told him that there would be a chance for his sister to survive by starting the gene unlocking experiment, perhaps out of guilt, or because she felt sorry for him, or because she thought he was dying and it was okay to tell him the truth.

To this day, he still clearly remembers every word the woman told him: "Your sister is indeed not dead. Although she did not become a superpower, she did not completely turn into a zombie either. She is the most special one I have ever seen who neither 'succeeded' nor failed in the gene unlocking experiment."

Mo Yuankai vaguely saw a trace of admiration on the woman's face: "The people above call people with the same situation as your sister "mutants". Mutants are immortal and unharmed, and are undoubtedly the most powerful existence in this collapsed apocalypse. I heard that there are no more than five such people among the remaining humans in this apocalypse, so how could the people above let your sister go so easily?"

"Mo Yuanchu was transferred to the gene lock base in City B by the top management overnight the day after she completed the genetic experiment. Because her current condition is not very stable, only Lady Amber's ability can restrain and guide her. If you have the ability, go and find your sister." The woman glanced down at him condescendingly, left after saying the last sentence.

After hearing the truth, Mo Yuankai climbed up from the pile of corpses with his remaining willpower and limped towards City B. The setting sun stretched his shadow extremely long, and he followed the city unyieldingly.

Mo Yuankai didn't understand the specialness of mutants, nor did he care. He just wanted his sister to be safe and sound. It was conceivable that his sister's ability was very popular with the people of Gene Lock. Who knew if they would cut open Mo Yuanchu's stomach and conduct various experiments?

Mo Yuankai couldn't imagine it. Combined with the distress signal Mo Yuanchu gave him in his dream, he thought that the person who had the gene lock imprisoned his sister must have had no good intentions.

He punched the bathroom wall in anger.

When they gathered in the square of District 13, Mo Yuankai was thinking about taking advantage of the time when all the people in the base were rushing to the city wall defense line to resist the zombie invasion, and he planned to sneak into the base's experimental building to find and rescue his sister Mo Yuanchu.

At dusk, the zombie army under the city wall finally couldn't hold back their restlessness and launched an invasion towards the human base.

Next to the battlements on the city wall, Mo Yuankai shot out a wave of flaming arrows and then secretly ran down the horse path while changing weapons.

Hou Jing, who had felt that something was wrong with the boss since morning, had been secretly observing Mo Yuankai's actions. Seeing him abandon the current defense mission and walk away, Hou Jing couldn't help but follow him quietly.
