Ben10: A Romantic Adventure with a Gender-Swapped Class

Three blinding beams of flashlight light, like stage spotlights, instantly tore through the dimness of the cafeteria and precisely enveloped Mo Bai and Xiao Ban!

Mo Bai's grip on the Zombitrix suddenly froze!

He looked up in surprise, squinting as the bright light stung his eyes.

Against the light, he could barely make out the outlines of three figures standing at the door—the same group of official "cleaners" who had come looking for canned goods and then left in a hurry!

"I knew there was still noise!" a voice rang out, filled with realization and fierceness—it was the same loudmouth from before.

"So there were still some zombies that escaped!"

The beam of light swept across Mo Bai's pale, sweat- and smudged face, which was covered in sweat from exhaustion, and then landed on Xiao Ban, who was struggling to get up not far behind him and whose clothes were in tatters.

"And a living dead who's about to turn into a zombie!" another voice commented coldly, as if appraising trash.

After a brief silence, the loud voice rang out again, with an unquestionable commanding tone.

"Let's deal with that zombie first! This..." The beam of light locked onto Mo Bai again, with a cruel, almost condescending tone.

"Let him settle the score himself! Save a bullet!"

The words just fell!

*Click!* A clear, cold metallic scraping sound rang out! It was the sound of the bolt being pulled back!

One of the beams of light landed steadily on Xiao Ban, who had just propped himself up and was about to pounce on Mo Bai again! The dark muzzle of the gun gleamed with a deadly light under the bright light!

"Don't--!!"

Mo Bai's roar, like the mournful cry of a dying beast, instantly echoed throughout the entire cafeteria!

The despair and madness contained in that voice were unfamiliar even to him!

Just as the muzzle flash was about to erupt, an incomprehensible force, like a volcanic eruption, suddenly exploded from the depths of Mo Bai's already withered body!

The adrenaline overwhelmed all the pain and exhaustion! He didn't even realize how he got up!

Like a cannonball that had been detonated, he charged headlong towards Xiaoban, recklessly! His goal wasn't to attack, but rather—to stand in front of her!

However, that burst of power that exceeded all limits lasted only a moment.

He had barely taken two steps when an immense feeling of exhaustion gripped his ankle like an invisible hand!

His body instantly lost all support, and his forward momentum turned into a disheveled, desperate...fall!

He crashed heavily to the ground, but the direction he fell was precisely... landing on the squad leader who had just gotten up and was facing the gun barrel!

Time seems to freeze at this moment.

Bright light, gun muzzles, a struggling little boy, and a fallen Mo Bai... all combine to create a cruel and desperate apocalyptic silhouette.

"Bang—!" A deafening gunshot rang out in the deathly silent cafeteria!

The sharp sound waves, like solid cones, pierced the viscous air.

Immediately following the gunshot was not the dull thud of a bullet entering flesh, but another chilling sound—

That was the sound of teeth tearing through flesh, and the gnawing sound of satisfaction and bloodlust rolling in the throat!

At the same time, a short, painful cry rang out from Mo Bai's throat, a cry that had been suppressed to the extreme and finally burst forth!

The sound was filled with intense physical pain and immense mental shock. Hot tears uncontrollably welled up in the corners of his eyes, mingling with sweat and grime on his face, and silently streamed down his cheeks.

correct.

In the instant the bullet tore through the air, Mo Bai used the last remaining instinct in her body, not to dodge, but to hold Xiao Ban tightly in her arms.

He used his entire body as a shield, embracing her tightly, almost as if he wanted to pull her into his own bones!

Even now, the excruciating pain of sharp teeth piercing deep into his shoulder and flesh being torn apart is still intense.

The pain was like a raging fire, shooting straight into his mind, but his arm was like welded steel, without the slightest loosening.

"Zombitrix...DNA repair function..."

A faint yet exceptionally clear voice rang out close to Xiao Ban's ear.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in the chaotic frenzy of being pounced on and bitten, Mo Bai's trembling hand had already completed its final mission.

The dark purple wristwatch was firmly fastened to Xiao Ban's slender wrist, the cold metal pressed against her ashen skin.

Mo Bai's voice was broken and weak, as he slowly uttered the instructions.

“Command password....113...”

Each number seemed to have been created with tremendous effort.

“Execute immediately…” The last four words were as light as a whisper, like a candle flame about to go out in the wind, so faint that only the little Ban, who was pressed against his chest, and the cold Zombitrix could catch them.

The moment the command was given.

The Zombitrix's dark purple dial suddenly burst forth with a soft yet powerful light.

The light, like a living liquid, instantly enveloped the entire class! A strange energy wave rippled outwards!

The little boy, enveloped in purple light, suddenly stopped biting.

As if forcibly pulled from deep madness by some force, her blood-stained lips slowly parted, and her teeth left her white, bloodied, and mangled shoulder.

For the first time, a violent, storm-like chaos appeared in those empty, cold purple pupils.

Countless fragmented images, sounds, and emotions... crashed against her chaotic consciousness like a flood breaking through a dam.

She stood frozen in place, her body trembling slightly, as if struck by an invisible electric current, falling into a complete daze.

"Tsk!"

An impatient voice, laced with deep contempt, rang out from behind Mo Bai.

The loud-voiced man with the gun pointed at the eerie purple light and the "zombie" that had stopped biting, and spat.

"Wasting bullets!"

He seemed to think that the shot he had just fired had missed a vital spot and was a complete waste of effort.

He raised his gun again, and this time, the cold muzzle pointed mercilessly at Mo Bai, who was lying on Xiao Ban's body, barely breathing!

The excruciating pain and blood loss made Mo Bai's consciousness as fragile as a candle in the wind, and the edges of her vision were constantly being eroded by the heavy darkness.

He felt the deadly lock-on behind him.

However, an extremely complex expression appeared on his face—was it relief? Longing? Or endless sorrow?

With his last bit of strength, he turned his head slightly, and with an uninjured hand, carrying unimaginable weight, he slowly and gently stroked the top of Xiao Ban's hair, which was stained with blood and dust and looked incredibly fragile in the purple light.

He tried to force a smile, a comforting, farewell smile, but the excruciating pain and weakness distorted it into an unsightly grimace, more heartbreaking than tears.

"Now..." His voice was so weak it was almost a whisper, each word like blood and foam squeezed from the depths of his lungs.

“I’m starting to get tired of you…” He paused, a vast darkness was swallowing his consciousness, and he used the last of his soul’s strength to exhale softly.

"sorry......"

The moment the words "I'm sorry" were uttered, the purple light enveloping the classroom suddenly became incredibly dazzling.

The space rippled violently. Xiao Ban's figure was erased as if by an invisible eraser, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

All that remained were faint ripples of energy in the air and the shocking wounds on Mo Bai's shoulders.

In the final instant before the figure disappeared, Mo Bai's unfocused pupils seemed to have caught something.

He seemed to hear a hoarse, dry syllable, as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper, yet carrying a heart-wrenching pain, coming from the direction of the vanished figure.

"Do not......"

The voice was soft and indistinct, yet it was like a poisoned dagger, piercing deeply into Mo Bai's stabbing heart, stirring up the last ripple of despair.

The cafeteria fell completely silent.

A deathly silence, like a cold tide, once again engulfed this blood-soaked land.

Only Mo Bai was alone, like an abandoned, broken doll, lying quietly on the cold, greasy floor soaked with his own blood.

His eyes were vacant, unfocused, staring blankly at a point in the void.

However, the corners of his mouth, stained with blood, stubbornly and slightly turned up, forming an indescribable arc.

The three officials walked in, cursing and swearing. They swept their flashlights over Mo Bai's lifeless body and carefully examined the place where Xiao Ban had disappeared. Apart from the bloodstains and mess on the ground, they found nothing.

"Damn it, what bad luck!" one of them muttered under his breath.

Having confirmed that Mo Bai was truly dead and that the "zombie" had mysteriously disappeared, they were too lazy to bother anymore. They took the few cans of food they had scavenged and left the chaotic Death Canteen without looking back.

......

Gai Wenxing, the cold laboratory.

The purple light dissipated, and Xiao Ban's figure suddenly appeared on the smooth, mirror-like floor.

She remained in the same position she was in before being teleported, curled up and kneeling there.

The purple light enveloping his entire body seemed to have taken away some kind of heavy shackles.

Zombitrix continued to emit a low hum, a gentle yet powerful energy flowing and repairing along her blood vessels and nerves.

Chaotic fragments of memory, like iron filings attracted by a magnet, surged wildly into her gradually clearing sea of ​​consciousness!

Those fragments she tore apart with her own hands—the wandering in the surveillance footage, the futile scratching in front of the metal cabinet, the familiar figure rushing towards her, the warm embrace that held her tightly, the excruciating pain on her shoulder, and... the warm, sweet-smelling blood...

And finally, that face so close, pale as paper, yet bearing a gentle smile, and those words, "I'm tired of you" and "I'm sorry," etched into my soul like a curse!

A silent scream exploded deep within her soul! She suddenly clutched her head tightly with both hands, her fingers digging deep into her withered, short hair!

Immense pain, regret, and despair overwhelmed her like a tsunami.

She wanted to cry out loud, to wash away this unbearable sin with her tears, but not a single tear could be squeezed from her dry eyes.

The body trembled and convulsed violently from extreme pain! It was a silent, heart-wrenching cry, more suffocating than any wailing!

She bit her lip hard until she tasted the rusty, metallic taste of blood.

She wanted to speak, to shout, to call out that name, but only incoherent, broken syllables came out of her throat.

"no, do not want......"

"me......"

"I didn't...I didn't...on purpose..." Every word felt like it was being torn from a hot iron, carrying a bloody pain.

She suddenly felt a violent wave of nausea! Her stomach churned violently!

She suddenly bent over, digging her fingers into her throat, making painful gagging sounds!

It was as if he wanted to vomit out all the flesh and blood that had been torn off, along with the overwhelming sins and pain, from his body.

Not far away, Azmith watched this scene quietly.

There was no blame in his huge eyes, only deep helplessness and a hint of barely perceptible pity.

It silently shook its head, not bothering to disturb them, but simply turned and walked towards the area where the sample extraction instruments were stored.
