The murals appearing in the Desert Tower seemed to hold significant omens for Xiao Qiang. The images of humans transforming into werewolves and those frantically fleeing from towering waves were likely drawn by the earliest prophets or sages, who foresaw these events and wished to warn future generations.
Since the footprints of humanity first appeared on Earth, there have been wise individuals and seers. However, as time has passed, the names of these highly intelligent groups have evolved.
These murals are witnesses to humanity's oldest civilizations, belonging to the Ancient Times during the Iron Age, specifically from the Late Western Zhou period, passed down through the Silk Road.
Unfortunately, Xiao Qiang's well-meaning warning proved to be tragically accurate. A rare deluge indeed submerged vast lands, drowning countless humans who had just begun their developmental journey.
Xiao Qiang was about to face yet another challenge, with thoughts of those he cared for weighing heavily on his mind.
If he had known that this cycle would bring even more unavoidable troubles to Lin Yu, he might have questioned whether she would return from the Post-Century of 2080, disrupting what was meant to be a natural cycle of fate.
The consequences of disrupting the natural order must be borne by those involved; thus, she was placed under house arrest by the humans of the future world.
In the Cosmic War, many years later, a Seer from the future world predicted that a Brutal Star Clan would emerge within the Cosmic Star System.
The existence of humanity instilled fear and dread in the beings of a distant star system. Consequently, these beings would combine favorable conditions with unimaginable disasters in future eras to take advantage of the situation and eradicate humanity, destroying Earth in the process.
This was what Xiao Qiang had previously mentioned regarding the Cosmic Noah's Ark Project. Scientists from the future world were already seeking pure-blooded Superhuman Species.
They aimed to identify these Superhuman Species while still in embryonic form to establish a perfect breeding model. Lin Yu, being an Ability species, could not escape this special honor.
After being brought back to the future world, she was sent to a Sealed Superhuman Breeding Base.
In the following weeks, an undeniable issue arose. It was discovered that the genes of the first superhuman pregnant woman were undergoing an inexplicable transformation; her blood contained a Single-Cell Serum that was fundamentally opposed to human blood.
The Single-Cell Serum seemed like a resurrection from a Death Serum, while her original serum lay dormant in death. If this Single-Cell Serum continued to develop, she would inevitably transform into an alternative species: a vampire! The blood of a vampire could only repair damaged cells or revive dead ones; this was the most basic and primal understanding.
Lin Yu noticed changes within herself. Whenever she lay in bed, her fingers instinctively pressed against her abdomen, and she could genuinely feel the frequency of something pulsating stronger.
During her first pregnancy, there was something jumping in her lower abdomen, leaving her bewildered and at a loss. However, this sensation was indeed marvelous, filling her heart with sweetness, anticipation, and confusion.
Lin Yu's genes were undergoing transformation, which would undoubtedly affect the normal development of the fetus in her womb. A scientist proposed a rather risky plan.
The plan was to extract the developing embryo from the Uterus and then nurture it using a simulated Uterus.
As soon as this method was suggested, it faced immediate opposition from numerous foreign and local scientists. Their reasoning was that the world had finally discovered this unique Superhuman Species; they could not afford to carelessly destroy it. Thus, the embryo transplantation plan ultimately fell through before it could even be realized, leaving them to seek other solutions.
Before the Nuclear War, the country with an extremely dense population was a focal point for global attention. Its ethnic group had become the target of competition among multiple nations.
As the genetic lineage approached extinction, the desperate RUS Country repeatedly resorted to various tricks, using stunning beauties to entice handsome men in hopes of saving the nearly extinct RUS ethnicity.
The World Alliance Racial Gene Base was surrounded by mountains and beautiful waters but could not withstand attacks from media spies and those with dog-like instincts for tracking. News of finding a superhuman genetic race spread quickly, attracting attention from many with different motives and ill intentions.
In this way, Lin Yu found herself with almost no freedom. She realized something was wrong one day when she woke up late after having a terrifying nightmare.
She dreamt that she lay on a large, empty bed in a cold room devoid of warmth, feeling utterly helpless and alone.
At the same time, she sensed movement in her abdomen. In Lin Yu's memory, the child was only about ten weeks along; how could it possibly feel like it was about to be born? Instinctively, she pressed on her belly and nervously glanced down between her legs.
A strange phenomenon occurred; beneath the bed in the room, a three-dimensional scene flowed with blood. The atmosphere was eerie, a ghostly sensation filling her heart.
She felt no pain, yet sensed something slipping out from between her legs. Peering closely, she saw a mass of red. Trembling, she leaned in to take a closer look...
Suddenly, the red mass burst open, revealing a creature with a gaping mouth that hissed like a monster... Ah! Lin Yu was truly frightened. After a shiver, she jolted awake, staring blankly as the vivid images in her mind refused to fade.
"Xiao Qiang said not to have this child; could it be related to this nightmare?" Lin Yu leaned forward instinctively, reaching down to touch her abdomen. She felt as if her belly had grown just a little overnight.
"Xiao Qiang, where are you? Are you okay?" Lin Yu walked to the window, gazing at the lush green mountains outside, but she was tormented by her inability to come and go freely. Those detestable scientists had done something to her that left her feeling utterly drained.
Moreover, her innate ability could not be used recklessly. Retreating to the bathroom, she looked at her increasingly pale and slightly emaciated face in the mirror.
She wondered if this face still belonged to her. As she brushed aside her bangs with a finger, her eyes lacked their usual vitality, appearing lifeless and bearing an expression that felt foreign.
Her fingernails had also grown quickly; after trimming them just a few days ago, they were already sprouting again... In recent days, many strangers had been moving around the house, covering any place that could let sunlight in with thick cloths.
Her personal doctor had hinted that she should rest more and take it easy. Now Lin Yu felt less like a pregnant woman and more like a caged bird or a lamb awaiting slaughter, uncertain of when she would be taken to the chopping block, where those filthy hands would receive the new life she had painstakingly nurtured.
