Western suburbs of Beijing.

An abandoned third chemical plant.

This place was once the largest chemical production base in Beijing, but it was later abandoned due to severe pollution.

The enormous factory buildings, under the moonlight, resembled silent steel behemoths, casting menacing shadows.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of rust and chemical residue.

Gu Bei moved silently among the abandoned pipes and machines, like a ghost.

His vigilance was at its highest.

He knew that every shadow here might lurk a deadly danger.

Finally, he arrived at the agreed location.

In the center of the factory, there was an empty concrete area.

A man wearing a black trench coat and a white ghost mask was standing there with his back to him.

It felt like we had been waiting for a long time.

"You've arrived."

The masked man turned around, his voice processed by a voice changer, sounding hoarse and strange.

"It's ten minutes faster than I expected."

Gu Bei didn't speak, but just stared at him coldly, unconsciously turning the Rubik's Cube in his hand.

"Don't be so nervous, S-009."

The masked man seemed to see through his wariness and shrugged.

"I've come here today with sincerity."

He took a clear glass bottle out of the inside pocket of his trench coat.

Inside the bottle was a potion that emitted a faint blue light.

That blue, like the purest sky, or the unfathomable ocean, is full of deadly allure.

"Antidote."

The masked man shook the bottle in his hand.

"The real, perfect antidote."

"With just one injection, the genetic lock in your body will be completely reversed. Not only will you survive, but you will also retain all your current abilities."

Gu Bei's gaze was fixed intently on the vial of medicine.

His breathing became uncontrollably rapid.

live.

These three words seemed to possess a magical power, echoing wildly in his mind.

"Do you want to?"

The masked man's voice was full of seduction.

"certainly."

Gu Bei's voice was a little hoarse.

"What are the conditions?"

He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

"Hehe, clever."

The masked man smiled.

"My conditions are very simple."

He paused, his voice turning cold.

"Bring S-001, Lin Suisui, out and hand her over to us."

really.

Gu Bei's heart sank.

"She is the most perfect experimental subject, the most outstanding creation of 'God.' Her genes are of vital importance to us."

The masked man patiently persuaded him.

"S-009, think it over carefully."

"Do Qin Xiao and the others really care about you?"

"All their resources and all their love were given to S-001. In their eyes, you were nothing more than an accessory, a playmate of S-001."

"They would do anything for her. But would they do the same for you?"

"Look at her, she's the center of attention, treated like a treasure by those old guys."

"Look at you, you'll forever live in her shadow."

Are you willing to accept this?

"Trading your life for someone you don't like is a very good deal."

The masked man's words were like poisoned knives, precisely stabbing into the most painful spot in Gu Bei's heart.

Yes.

He was not reconciled.

He also wanted to be the center of everyone's attention.

He also wanted to live.

Gu Bei's face showed a struggle and hesitation.

He stared at the blue potion, his eyes filled with longing.

"How...how can I trust you?" he asked.

"You can inspect the goods first."

The masked man tossed the vial over.

Gu Bei instinctively reached out and caught it.

The cool bottle felt like holding a piece of driftwood in my hand.

He opened the bottle cap and smelled it.

It was a familiar smell to him, the smell of biological enzymes from the laboratory.

it is true.

Seeing that he was wavering, the masked man's smile deepened.

"So? Have you decided?"

Gu Bei looked up at him.

Those gloomy eyes seemed to be filled with the will to survive.

"it is good."

He nodded.

I promise you.

He reached out, seemingly to return the vial to the masked man.

"One hand delivers the person, the other hand delivers the goods."

The masked man smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that no one could resist the temptation to live.

He reached out his hand, ready to take the medicine.

Just as their fingers were about to touch.

A sudden change has occurred!

Gu Bei's outstretched hand suddenly flipped at an extremely strange angle and gripped the masked man's wrist tightly!

at the same time.

The Rubik's Cube in his other hand, which he had always treated as a toy, clicked softly.

From the central axis of the Rubik's Cube, a needle as thin as a cow's hair and flashing with blue light suddenly popped out!

That speed was as fast as lightning!

"Pfft!"

The poisoned needle pierced precisely into the eye hole of the mask!

It deeply entered the masked man's eyes!

"Ugh—ah!"

The masked man let out a piercing scream, and his body began to convulse violently.

He stared at the boy in disbelief.

Where was there even a trace of struggle or hesitation on that face?

There was only a chilling killing intent, like an ancient glacier!

"I want to live."

Gu Bei's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

He slowly withdrew the poisoned needle, watching the masked man collapse to the ground in agony.

"But even more than that, I don't want to betray my light."

Sui Sui was the light that pulled him out of the dark, isolated island.

He would never let anyone extinguish this light.

"You...you..."

The masked man pointed at Gu Bei, black blood foam gushing from his mouth.

With his last bit of strength, he pulled a red remote control from his pocket and pressed the button on it.

"Waaaaah—waaaah—"

The piercing alarm instantly resounded throughout the abandoned factory.

The heavy, tightly closed iron gates around the factory slowly rose.

in the dark.

Pairs of blood-red eyes lit up.

A deep, violent roar came from all directions.

A group of enormous, muscular monsters with drool dripping from their mouths emerged from the darkness.

That's a dog.

Yet it doesn't resemble a dog.

They are bio-engineered vicious dogs, modified with drugs!

There were dozens of them!

They surrounded Gu Bei.

The masked man lay on the ground, letting out a final, vicious laugh.

"Come...to hell with...me..."

After saying that, he tilted his head to the side and fell silent.
