Xiao Qiang's only possession was the Time Machine Box, and he was determined to hold on to it. He would not activate the time machine unless absolutely necessary, fearing that another return trip would bring trouble. If he were trapped in 2050, no one could stop the rise of vampires and Werewolves, leading to a terrifying era by 2080.
He couldn't remember when he left Cold Star, but as he walked across a vast expanse of desolate grassland, he felt something falling from the sky. Looking up, he spotted a vertical black dot plummeting down at an incredible speed.
What was it? Instead of retreating, he gazed intently... As the object drew closer, he instinctively stretched out his arm and made a leap, catching it firmly. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an eagle.
The eagle was hungry, so Xiao Qiang dug into the ground and found some plump insect eggs in the dirt, feeding them one by one into the eagle's beak. Suddenly, the eagle that had been resting on his arm vanished in a flash, transforming into a dazzling beam of light.
Within the light, a slender figure could be faintly seen. "Light Spirit?" Xiao Qiang exclaimed in surprise.
"Master, why didn't you use your Wings?"
Right! I have Wings! With the Light Spirit's hint, Xiao Qiang suddenly realized. He moved his body and looked around in confusion; it was broad daylight, and there was no sign of any Light Spirit—just endless yellow earth and hills. However, he remembered the scene from his dream: Wings!
Instinctively, he began to stretch his limbs, suppressing his breath while secretly releasing the energy source that had settled in Ant Nest Castle. In an instant, his aura returned to normal; his consciousness and thoughts synchronized perfectly. With a whoosh, a pair of enormous Wings sprouted from where his back connected to his arms.
In the darkness, having such Wings was not surprising; doing so in broad daylight was another matter entirely. Xiao Qiang felt particularly awkward about it. However, time was pressing; he needed to find Lin Yu and Matt quickly. Reluctantly clutching the Time Machine Box, he took off into the sky.
He soared over mountains and gazed down at snow-covered peaks. He saw a few humans walking along the road like ants, pointing at him with astonished expressions. In this world where anything could happen, people had become accustomed to strange sights; seeing a human-bird hybrid drew curious crowds who weren't afraid of him but rather terrified of the headless Mothman.
Human settlements were becoming increasingly sparse; in some areas, he couldn't see a single person for miles.
He flew over small towns, cities, oceans, rivers, and mountains. Finally exhausted, he found a safe place to rest and dreamed of Lin Yu waiting for him with a smile at her door.
What a foolish action; what childish behavior! Xiao Qiang realized that all his efforts had allowed Han Shaoyu to advance his plans. He began expanding Ant Nest Castle on a large scale. Every Werewolf dispatched by him would return with double the number of new Werewolf slaves.
He developed a drug to control Werewolf transformations and another punitive drug for those who attempted to escape his control.
This drug was called Corpse Worm; it was as large as a silkworm. When he removed Shu Bo's Werewolf collar, they would simultaneously swallow the Corpse Worm. If they did not return quickly to take his antidote within a short period, the Corpse Worm would devour their internal organs and even breed within their bellies.
Han Shaoyu was purposeful and goal-oriented. Wherever Xiao Qiang passed, it was trampled under his iron hooves.
In an instant, vampires and Werewolves spread across the world.
At the same time, Xiao Qiang found the place where Lin Yu and the others once lived. However, he did not see her smiling figure waiting at the door; instead, he was met with ruins and the abandoned site of a school. The dilapidated laboratory was covered in thick spider webs.
What had happened here? No one told him.
Xiao Qiang stood dazed in the house where he and Lin Yu had shared their lives, lost in a hallucination... He could hear the sound of laughter like silver bells, and then Matt, oblivious to their moment, barged in and interrupted their private affair.
In their secret safe, there was nothing but an old, damp photograph that had yellowed with age. The photo caught his eye; he picked it up and examined it closely... Boom! It felt as if his brain had been struck hard, buzzing with noise. The image showed a baby dancing joyfully.
This was their secret place; no one but Lin Yu would have hidden anything here. As questions suddenly ignited in his mind, he cautiously turned the photo over.
XXXX Year XX Month XXX Day - Xiao Yu's birth!!!
Xiao Yu!... He... he... he is my son? Xiao Qiang felt as if the world was spinning around him; his vision filled with Venus, his body swayed dangerously before he collapsed to the ground.
They were together because of love, because they understood each other deeply, and because those past memories still lingered in his mind. They shared a magical connection and magnetic pull; the room still held Lin Yu's lingering scent. Even after all this time, he could still sense her presence.
In that moment of fainting, everything that happened in the room leaped into his mind.
Lin Yu gave birth to their precious child, who was adored by Matt and others. The emotions that flowed through the room, the baby's coos... Lin Yu's gentle lullabies.
Yun Yuzhi arrived but couldn't articulate what she wanted to say. She urged Matt to leave and take the children away. But since Lin Yu was still recovering from childbirth, moving her was not feasible at that moment.
The sky darkened; on a moonless night filled with wind, a group of Western vampires attacked this place. They killed Lin Yu, Matt, Yun, and the children, taking away the infant Xiao Yu from its cradle.
Beasts... Xiao Qiang shouted.
In this wasteland, a sudden noise startled those nearby. Some brave souls armed themselves and rushed over, only to find a man weeping bitterly inside the house.
"Hi, are you okay?"
Xiao Qiang wiped away his tears and replied, "I'm fine. I just wanted to find out what happened here and if there are any survivors."
The newcomer shook his head vigorously, like a rattle. "That night was terrifying. There were only good people here. They arranged for us to stay nearby, but we never expected they would be killed."
"What happened to their bodies?"
"They were cremated on the spot. You know how terrifying the V2 Zombie Virus is. Fortunately, we all received timely treatment. We were given a synthetic Gene Protein made from some strange serum, and it worked. Mr. Matt is a good person, and so is the beautiful Lin Yu."
"Thank you. This place isn't safe; you all should leave quickly."
"Why?"
"I can't explain it right now, but it's best for you to get out of here."
Previously, Xiao Qiang had felt a strange connection with Xiao Yu, and now he sensed that the Werewolves led by Xiao Yu were charging fiercely toward innocent humans.
