Reality is cruel. The lower-class Abnormal Humanoids, lacking status, can only become victims in the face of the shortage of Human Blood resources. They rise up in protest, breaking into the homes of Wealthy Patrons to loot them in the dead of night.
The Wealthy Patrons, disturbed by these events, threaten to refuse paying taxes and funding research projects if the disturbances are not dealt with. By eliminating a portion of the consuming population, Area A5 could enjoy a few more days of peace.
The Humanoid Brain does not advocate for expanding military power to plunder Human Blood resources because the Cosmic War is about to begin. In the long-term plan, Area A5 will become a stronghold for Alien Creatures.
If all goes well, it will be an unprecedented war—a battle between planetary beings and Earth beings fighting for their living environment.
As the sun rose high in the sky, it hung like a disc, casting scorching rays down upon Area A5. Armed patrols, wearing heavy masks, dragged along a line of chained low-level Humanoid Puppets.
The Patrol Team felt a pang of sympathy but could only march forward. Behind them was a group of ragged Humanoid Puppets resembling beggars—men and women alike—struggling futilely against their fate.
Once residents of the Stratum, they had longed to see sunlight; now that sunlight threatened to burn them alive. The ground blazed under the sun's glare, steaming like a dark and deep bridge leading them to their doom.
Once upon a time, they dreamed of becoming characters in movies, immortalized in stories. That dream had indeed come true but was fleeting…
Patrolling Soldiers pushed them forward; even before reaching the sunlight, they felt as if they were on fire. Some cried out in despair while others knelt, begging for mercy and swearing never to disturb the Wealthy Patrons again.
The scene was filled with bloody brutality yet exuded an atmosphere of desolation and helplessness; death awaited them not far away!
From a nearby building, Xiao Qiang adjusted his infrared telescope. "The slaughter has begun."
"Let me see," Feng said as he took the telescope and focused on the Humanoid Puppets being forcibly dragged into the sunlight, already igniting in flames. The fire mercilessly consumed their bodies; no matter how loudly they screamed or wept, they were all ignited by the sun's rays and quickly turned into smoke that vanished without a trace.
"How cruel," Xiao Qiang said, unable to watch any longer. He gripped a glass vessel containing Human Blood—blood from Yun, which was particularly precious as he intended to use it as a catalyst for medicine.
Yun had been thrown into the water but surprisingly did not die; instead, she continued to eat like a human without any signs of bloodlust. Xiao Qiang's speculation was correct: Yun was the antidote.
After being bitten, she suffered from high fever, indicating that the virus had spread within her body. However, when she was carelessly tossed into the river, it inadvertently allowed her to escape from the virus's spread.
The main reason was still the sunlight—it saved her. She was swept downstream by the river and ended up on a bank littered with garbage and weeds.
Feng witnessed Yun thrashing in the water from the shore; she cried out, wishing she could jump in and die alongside her sister.
If it weren't for Ronnie holding onto Feng tightly, she would have truly jumped in.
When the two of them found Yun's body, they discovered that she still had a breath left in her. A miracle occurred; after being washed by the river and then exposed to the sun's rays, Yun's body developed antibodies that resisted the invasion of the virus.
Matt said that Yun's blood was the antidote, but it could only be administered to one Abnormal Humanoid, who would have to become a sacrifice. This was because when he transformed into a human, he would likely be attacked by countless Abnormal Humanoids and subsequently torn to pieces...
"Who do you want to give this to?" Feng pointed at the blood.
"...How about we capture an Abnormal Humanoid and give it a try?" Xiao Qiang looked down at the area below, which seemed to have quieted down, and the officials had left. Sunlight shone brightly on the streets of Area A5, while in areas where sunlight couldn't penetrate, shadows occasionally flickered, accompanied by sharp screams!
"This one will do."
Feng agreed, "Alright."
The two agile figures silently moved across the rooftops and leaped into the area where the shadows were moving—an area filled with dampness and a musty smell known as the Damp Basement Rental.
As soon as they landed, a ferocious scream echoed as a severely deformed Humanoid Puppet lunged at them. It had lost its human form; its hunched body was adorned with a pair of transparent, flesh-like Wings, and a row of dense, sharp teeth resembling saw blades snapped at Xiao Qiang.
Xiao Qiang acted swiftly and decisively, kicking the vicious Humanoid Puppet to the ground. Feng rushed forward and pressed a dagger against its throat...
The regressed Humanoid Puppet emitted pig-like squeals; its vocal cords had deteriorated so much that it could barely speak human language. It struggled futilely to rise and feed on the blood of the two before it.
"I wonder if giving it blood would be a waste?" Xiao Qiang hesitated, reluctantly gripping the vial of blood. A feeling told him that this Abnormal Humanoid had become useless; its bodily functions were severely depleted, with no miracle left for revival.
"Then..."
"Yeah." Xiao Qiang turned to leave.
Feng swiftly struck down with his knife, severing the Humanoid Puppet's head. Frowning, he quickly followed behind him.
Xiao Qiang needed to find a robust Abnormal Humanoid strong enough to withstand those evil Humanoid Puppets before he could confidently administer the blood antidote.
At the corner of a street stood a seemingly drunken Drunk Man, swaying as he hummed an off-key tune. He staggered about as if trying to break through the sunlight to reach another place.
But to Feng, it looked like he was trying to commit suicide—
Xiao Qiang took a closer look at the person and couldn't help but exclaim, "Lin Fan?"
"You know him?"
"Of course, he's a doctor."
"Should we give him a call?"
"I guess that's the only option."
Xiao Qiang tiptoed, cautiously approaching Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was in deep despair; he hated Zone A5 and everyone in it. He had had enough. The sunlight was both tempting and threatening, with a lethal force that loomed over him. Inside, he struggled fiercely, hoping that after death, he could enter a pure cycle of rebirth that belonged to him.
With the strong scent of alcohol on his breath, he gazed at the sunlight that once felt so familiar. Now it was about to turn him to ashes, and he couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
Hesitantly, he tried to inch closer to the rays of sunlight but was pushed back by the scorching heat. Just as he turned away for the last time, he caught sight of Xiao Qiang.
