Those who reincarnate must die.

While waiting for the food to be served, Zhang Lang went to the outhouse in the backyard. (Google search reading)

While he was using the toilet in the stall, he heard voices outside. They were speaking an Eastern language with a strange accent; one voice was deep and inhuman, while the other was slightly high-pitched and much more normal.

"Is this the kind of world... Steampunk plus advanced superpowers, quite a unique combination!" That was the deep voice.

"Don't underestimate this world..." the shrill-voiced figure said. "I came here once for a mission and fought against the superhumans of this world... a narrow victory!"

"Oh? You may only be a member of the Shen clan, but you're quite capable. How come you've encountered an opponent in this primitive world?" The deep voice seemed somewhat surprised...

"So this world is a huge hidden danger! This joint operation—Number One, Number Six, Number Eleven, Number Eighteen, Number Nineteen, Number Twenty-One, Number Twenty-Five… aren't they all powerful hero altars… sent here together to completely destroy this place…"

"Without high-tech weapons, can humanity alone contend with the Hero Reincarnators? Interesting..."

"Hey, stop talking... the captain sent a message, we can start the operation!"

After saying that, the two pushed open the bathroom door and left...

Zhang Lang only vaguely understood the conversation. Many of the terms were unfamiliar to him, such as "steampunk," "reincarnator," and "altar." Whenever such terms entered his ears, Zhang Lang would feel a sharp pain in his brain and his memory would become hazy. However, with his powerful regenerative abilities, the discomfort would quickly disappear.

Just as he finished wiping his bottom and was about to get up, he suddenly heard broken cups and plates and screams coming from outside the toilet. This sudden commotion gave Zhang Lang a bad feeling, so he pulled up his pants and rushed out.

The restaurant was filled with pink mist. Tables and chairs were overturned, and guests were unconscious. Only two people remained standing. One was short, holding an unidentified device that sprayed the red mist. The other was an extremely tall and strong giant. Zhang Lang was also very tall, but he only reached the giant's chest at most!

The giant, wearing a metal exoskeleton, stood guard nearby, holding a weapon he had never seen before. Both men's faces were obscured by helmets, making them impossible to see.

Zhang Lang spotted his sister lying unconscious on the ground at a glance. He rushed over to help her up and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she was still breathing. Then, he glared angrily at the two people, grabbed a chair, roared, and charged at them!

Seeing Zhang Lang charging towards him, the burly man raised his weapon and fired a shot. The high-speed bullet pierced Zhang Lang's heart and punched small holes in the tables, chairs, and walls behind him... But this fatal injury did not stop Zhang Lang's steps. He rushed in front of the burly man, swung the chair around, and delivered a blow!

Crack! The powerful force shattered the chair, but it only caused the burly man's head to tilt slightly... The burly man turned his head, looked at Zhang Lang with slight surprise, and uttered a sentence in a language that Zhang Lang could not understand at all!

But the voice was exactly the same as the deep, inhuman voice he had heard in the bathroom!

The chair in his hand shattered, and Zhang Lang swung his fist to strike again, but the big man grabbed him and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he struggled!

Aside from the power-type superhuman in the factory, Zhang Lang had never been suppressed by anyone in terms of strength...

Muscle training is essentially a process of continuous muscle damage and self-repair. For most people, this is a painful and lengthy process. However, Zhang Lang, a superhuman born with superhuman regenerative abilities, experiences this process very quickly, without worrying about fatigue or physical damage from excessive exertion…

His naturally tall stature, combined with years of high-intensity physical labor, gave him a physique far superior to that of ordinary people!

But at this moment, the strength he was so proud of was like a child facing an adult in front of that burly man, completely unable to fight back! Zhang Lang struggled desperately, but ended up cutting his own wrist!

He then noticed that the burly man's hand, which was gripping his, was covered in scales and had sharp nails, resembling the hand of a wild beast! Looking at the burly man's face, he could vaguely see golden vertical pupils behind the black goggles!

"It should be a physical enhancement ability..." the short man beside him said in a language Zhang Lang could understand, "It's rare that it wasn't affected by the gene-activating drug... But it doesn't matter, this world is destined to end!"

These were the last words Zhang Lang heard. Then, he heard the burly man snort coldly, raise his large, scale-covered fist, and smash it into the top of his head...

When Zhang Lang awoke again, the two men were gone. He was lying in a large crater in the floor, his clothes torn to shreds, surrounded by radiating bloodstains…

This was probably the most serious injury he had ever suffered since birth... However, Zhang Lang had no time to check his body. The first thing he did after climbing out of the pit was to go find his sister...

Xiaoya remained unconscious, but signs of illness were already appearing on her body. Her skin was developing calluses, and her hair was falling out… Zhang Lang glanced at the clock on the wall and estimated that she had been unconscious for about ten minutes… In such a short time, such significant changes had occurred in Xiaoya's body. Looking at the others in the hall, they too had exhibited various mutations…

Zhang Lang picked up his sister and ran out of the restaurant, wanting to get to the hospital... But now the streets were filled with that dangerous red fog, and everything alive—humans, mules, horses, cats, dogs, birds, even trees—was undergoing visible mutations... Even the doctors in the hospital were infected and overwhelmed with their own problems...

"The county town... If it doesn't work here, we'll go to the county town!" Zhang Lang was determined to cure his sister, but all animals, including humans, became listless, their bodies mutated, and they were unable to work after coming into contact with the red mist... The steam train also stopped running...

"It's 120 li from here to the county seat..." Standing at the station, Zhang Lang gritted his teeth, carrying his younger sister, and ran along the railway tracks, relying solely on his two legs, towards the county seat...

But along the way, a red mist permeated everything... Before long, Zhang Lang encountered a steam locomotive from the county town. The people on board were clearly infected, and according to them, the county town had also fallen...

For Zhang Lang, the county town was the end of his world, a place filled with skyscrapers, powerful superhumans, and highly skilled doctors—a symbol of civilization and strength. The fact that even such a place had fallen meant that his world… had collapsed…

In fact, it's not just Zhang Lang's world; the entire world has completely collapsed...

The powerful Reincarnators spread this red mist across the continents of this world within just a few weeks. This substance, originally called a gene-activating agent, as the name suggests, can stimulate the activity of biological genes, causing them to mutate in unpredictable directions within a very short period…

Some will exhibit atavism, resembling extinct creatures, while others will evolve into entirely new forms never before seen... But regardless of the method, the mutated creature's personality and memories will suffer devastating damage, turning it into a monster that acts entirely on instinct...

In this world, everyone except Zhang Lang, regardless of status or ability, lost their minds and transformed into terrifying monsters of various forms within a short period of time once they were affected by the red mist. Human civilization was wiped out in just a few months, and the planet's ecosystem underwent a complete upheaval…

However, Zhang Lang was unaware of all this at the time. All he knew was that his sister was changing day by day before his eyes, eventually turning into a ferocious monster... Zhang Lang could only lock her up and feed her every day... Although he didn't know if any of this would work, or if his sister could ever come back...

Ultimately, what made Zhang Lang understand all of this was a voice that suddenly appeared in his mind one day.
