Livestreaming Forbidden Zone: Starting with a Qilin Tattoo Terrifies the Entire Internet

Jiang Han met those golden wolf eyes.

He reached out and clasped the other's huge hand, covered in coarse gray hair and as large as a palm-leaf fan.

The force coming from the palm was heavy, with the pressure of a wild beast's joints, as if it wanted to crush a person's hand bones one by one.

The rough hairs brushed against my skin, making it itchy.

"Welcome to Utopia No. 7, Comrade Purifier."

The werewolf warden, Volkov, had a loud voice and a thick, harsh accent.

"I am the warden here, Volkov."

He spoke with enthusiasm, but his golden wolf eyes remained fixed on Jiang Han, scanning from his shoulders and back to his wrists, his scrutinizing gaze impossible to suppress.

"Comrade? This old man has a pretty high level of ideological awareness."

Jiang Han thought to himself, but didn't show it on his face.

"Hello, Comrade Warden."

He pulled his hand back.

"This place doesn't even deserve to be called a utopia!"

Volkov grinned, revealing his fangs, as if amused by the bluntness of the remark.

"certainly."

"There is no hunger, no oppression, and everyone is equal here."

"We all strive for a common ideal."

He paused for a moment after saying this, then his gaze returned to Jiang Han's face.

"Comrade Purifier, what constructive thoughts do you have about our great 'Utopia'?"

"have."

Jiang Han's reply was very perfunctory.

"Very constructive."

He was more concerned about something else than engaging in bureaucratic exchanges with the old wolf.

How did you know I would come?

"A fortune-telling witch here?"

Volkov listened and let out a low laugh.

"A witch?"

"That kind of feudal superstition has long been swept into the dustbin of history."

He raised his giant claw and pointed to the artificial canopy made of living fungal carpet.

Jiang Han looked in the direction he was looking.

In the sky, a new "star" appeared at some unknown time.

The star was blood red, an ominous color, like a drop of freshly fallen blood, still pulsating gently, flashing brightly and then dimming.

"Mental projection beacon".

When Volkov spoke, his tone betrayed his smugness.

"Any outsider whose mental strength exceeds the threshold will light up their own 'star' in the sky of Eden."

"We've been waiting for you for a long time, comrade."

Jiang Han narrowed his eyes.

He could sense that the strange red star did indeed resonate faintly with his spiritual power.

Advanced intrusion detection rules.

This restricted area was more interesting than he had anticipated.

"These stars are quite unique. I'll pluck them for my Kraken to use as a teething toy."

Jiang Han thought this to herself, but didn't respond verbally.

Volkov turned his head to the side.

"Anna, show our Purifier comrade around our home."

"Yes, Grandpa Warden!"

Anna responded crisply and ran to Jiang Han's side.

"Purifier, this way please!"

Under Anna's guidance, Jiang Han officially stepped into the "Utopia No. 7" settlement.

As far as the eye can see, there are rows of Khrushchev-style slab buildings constructed from colorful protein blocks.

Pink, strawberry flavor.

Yellow, banana flavor.

Green, minty flavor.

The air was filled with an overly sweet artificial scent and the smell of rotting protein; one breath and my stomach started churning.

Jiang Han stretched out his finger and rubbed it against the wall of a "biscuit building" he was passing by.

A touch of the fingertip reveals its oily, moist texture, and warmth.

It is alive.

"These are the 'Cookie Building' and the 'Candy Dormitory'!"

Anna tilted her head back as she introduced the topic, her tone full of pride.

"It is our strongest fortress!"

She didn't notice at all that Jiang Han was barely able to suppress the disdain in his eyes.

"Won't eating this cause genetic mutations?"

Residents passing by all stopped in their tracks when they saw Jiang Han.

They gave him a uniform smile, their lips curving in the same direction, but their eyes were frighteningly empty and burning with madness.

Like a puppet on a string with a pre-written program.

Volkov caught up with them at some point.

He pointed to a pink apartment building that had just "grown" from the ground and said to Jiang Han:

"Comrade Purifier, this is the accommodation prepared for you."

Jiang Han looked over.

The surface of the apartment building was still gently undulating, steam was rising from it, and a translucent liquid was slowly seeping out from its pore-like structure.

It doesn't resemble a house; it's more like a giant, breathing biological organ.

This scene was clearly broadcast around the world through drone footage.

[Ugh... I threw up, is this house alive?!]

[This is fucking meat! I'd rather die than live in a place like this!]

[[Code Name: Glutton]: (¯﹃¯) It looks...like top-grade Kobe beef, the kind that melts in your mouth...]

[Get out of here, you alien glutton! Don't ruin our Earthlings' appetites!]

Seeing that Jiang Han was only looking and not moving, Volkov spoke up:

"Comrade, you can put your luggage inside first."

"We have prepared a grand welcome party for you."

After he finished speaking, he noticed that Jiang Han's hands were empty.

The enthusiasm on Old Wolf's face faltered for a moment.

"cough."

He gave a dry laugh and immediately changed the subject.

"The welcome party is about to begin, let's head to the central square!"

"Yay! Welcome party!"

Anna jumped up excitedly, grabbed Jiang Han's hand, and ran towards the center of the settlement.

The girl's hands were soft, and her palms were warm.

But this little bit of warmth did nothing to alleviate the nauseating sensation under Jiang Han's feet.

The road surface is paved with red protein gel. When you step on it, you sink half an inch with a "pop" sound, and when you lift your foot, it pulls out thin threads.

"This is 'Strawberry Jam Road'!"

Anna said as she ran.

"Purifier, don't be so reserved!"

Jiang Han looked down at the thick red substance covering his brand-new tactical boots, resisting the urge to burn the boots and his feet clean with pure Yang true fire.

A bizarre welcome party is underway in the central square.

Hundreds of "fairytale survivors" gathered here.

They were wearing worn-out gray overalls, their faces were sallow, but their cheeks were unnaturally red.

Upon seeing Jiang Han arrive, the crowd immediately began to shout.

"For Utopia! Purify the old world!"

"Welcome, Comrade Purifier!"

"Welcome, fellow Purifiers!"

Their eyes were empty, their voices were fanatical, like a group of brainwashed madmen.

Volkov walked onto a platform made of giant gingerbread and began his speech.

"Comrades!"

"Today, we welcome the prophesied Purifier!"

"Our ideal world is about to be reborn!"

His voice was powerful, but his golden wolf eyes would occasionally sweep over Jiang Han in the audience.

Examine.

To test the waters.

Not a single bit was hidden well.

Jiang Han watched coldly.

"A bunch of pathetic canned pets, they've even lost their own thoughts."

The highlight of the welcome party was "sharing the food".

Anna brought over a glass of thick liquid with green bubbles rising to the surface, along with a translucent, jelly-like "meat chunk" that was gently wriggling in the dish.

"Purifier!"

"These are our most prized 'Slime Soda' and 'Wriggling Jelly'!"

Please have a taste!

Volkov is watching.

All the residents are watching.

The fervent gazes crowded together, like a net, pushing people toward their plates.

Jiang Han knew he had no choice.

"Cheers to our unbreakable camaraderie!"

Volkov raised his glass on the platform and shouted.

Jiang Han picked up the cup and drank the green liquid, which tasted like snot, in one gulp.

Then, he forked the still-wriggling "meat" and put it in his mouth.

chew.

Swallow it.

"It tastes good, a bit fresher than the rotten flesh of the ancient gods I ate in the abyss back then."

As soon as the food entered his stomach, the Qilin bloodline within him immediately began to circulate.

The golden pure yang fire silently ignited, burning away all the biological toxins and parasite eggs within.

He is immune to the toxins within this restricted area.

This is key information.

After the welcome party ended, Jiang Han returned to his pink protein apartment.

He closed the door.

The politeness and aloofness on their faces vanished instantly.

All that's left is disgust.

He raised his hand, and a cluster of golden pure yang fire ignited on his gloved fingertips.

The liquid on the gloves turned to ash in an instant, leaving no trace.

He then used the same method to burn off all the red gel on the sole of the boot.

After doing all this, the murderous intent in his eyes subsided slightly.

"A bunch of pathetic canned pets..."

He looked around the room, which was made of living flesh and blood, his gaze turning cold.

"However, I want the controller for this cannery."

He walked to the window, looked at the artificial sun that never sets outside, and felt the constant temperature inside the restricted area.

A short night.

Constant climate.

This is an artificial ecosystem isolated from the outside world.

An ecosystem of this scale inevitably relies on a central control unit to function.

The core maintains the energy supply and the stability of the laws governing the entire forbidden zone.

It must be in the place with the most concentrated energy or the most heavily defended.

It's impossible in a "surface" area like a residential area.

Industrial zone?

Energy center?

I have to go and see.

After making her decision, Jiang Han turned around and pushed open the apartment door.

He was prepared to immediately head to other areas to look for clues.

However, the moment the door opened, his pupils contracted.

Outside the door, the familiar, absurd Soviet-style slab buildings and red gel streets are gone.

What appeared before him was an endless ice crystal forest.

The cold air seeped straight into the bones.

The sweet, warm air inside the apartment collided with the cold air outside, causing large swirling white mist to rise.

The moment he opened the door, he was transported to a completely new ecological zone.
