The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

After lunch, You Mu saw from the surveillance that 033's condition had improved and showed signs of waking up, so he got up and went to the containment room.

Under the regulation of technological temperature control, 033 was placed in a dry environment in the sand. The room temperature was adjusted very high. The environment in the large biological box simulated the desert, and the scorching sun above was simulated by fluorescent lights.

After being rescued from the water filled with nutrient solution, 033 was finally able to take a breath. Her physical condition gradually recovered in the hot and dry environment. She hovered her black and brown snake tail, and slowly opened her unusual light gray pupils from the surrounding sand.

"...Doctor, you were also captured here?" 033 tilted his head, seeming a little confused about meeting You Mu here.

The voice was still weak. After overdrawing its energy for a long time, 033 breathed in the dry air hard to provide itself with nutrients.

She propped herself up with her arms, raised her upper body and leaned forward, her thick hair covering a large area of ​​skin as she moved.

"The Crested Ibis disintegrated, and those who escaped were all liquidated at Base No. 1. I was lucky enough to have changed my workplace." You Mu went to the control console on the left to adjust the data parameters, raising the indoor heat and sunlight values ​​by a few points, and used the robotic arm to deliver a piece of clothing.

For 033, who has fire attributes, this is her comfort zone.

"Really? I'm so glad to see you again. Have you found the freedom and paradise you dreamed of?" Having been trapped in the potion that suppressed her abilities, 033 only felt that those days were very long. She was not very clear about what was going on in the organization. She only knew that after the founder died, Dr. You left with some people.

However, meeting familiar people in an unfamiliar environment may also be a kind of luck.

033 smiled, picked up the two-piece dress and tied it around his shoulders, and tidied his overly long hair. He did not feel panic or depressed at all because of his situation.

She was used to being studied.

You Mu lowered his eyelashes and carefully recalled the memories of his original body, but could not find the answer to this question.

"I don't know. The definition of freedom is very vague. Maybe I have found it, or maybe... I have never found it." You Mu was not clear about the original body's feelings, and he could not give an accurate answer.

But in the last days, the word "freedom" is too idealistic.

Few people know that the founder and the original body are father and son. Otherwise, the base would not be so confident in using him.

But although they are connected by blood, they are not of one mind. It can even be said that the original body has some disgust towards the founder.

As the original body of a mobile blood bank and research tool, he had never enjoyed a single day of fatherly love, and his relationship with the Creator was not as harmonious as those of the experimental subjects.

If Du Yansheng's harmonious relationship with the experimental subjects is based on his respect for the experimental subjects' individual lives and his own affinity, then the relationship between the original body and the experimental subjects is more like that of the same kind.

The Creator's underground research started much earlier than the base leaders had speculated.

In that dark and damp basement, the original body had been living with these monsters since childhood. Even the first care the original body felt was given by the experimental subjects imprisoned in cages.

Unfortunately, most of those friend-like beings in the original body's memory died in the tide of corpses, or died during experiments or transformation.

The crested ibis under the leadership of the Creator consumed too many lives.

"But after all, perhaps you have gotten rid of some of the constraints in your heart! You are a little different from before." The gloomy figure in the memory seemed to have become much calmer after experiencing the disintegration of the organization.

033 Sincerely feel happy for the other person, the threshold in the heart is the most difficult to cross. And she, after spending so much time, still can't get out of it.

"Long time no see, Zhan Rou." The replacement of souls would bring about some changes. The original body's personality had never been described in the plot, and he had not deliberately imitated it. It was normal for 033 to notice the changes.

Although he was talking about him, 033 seemed to be persuading himself.

"...Doctor, I haven't heard this name for a long time." 033 was stunned for a long time. This name seemed unfamiliar. She hadn't remembered it for a long time and almost forgot it.

Those memories buried under the sand seemed to be showing signs of surging.

033 pressed the sand beside him hard, then forced a smile, choosing to bury the name once again.

"You should call me 033."

Zhan Rou no longer exists...

Before becoming an experimental subject, 033 was a normal person.

033, a very common number, but if it was Zhan Rou, even today, there should be many people who still remember her. She was a female psychic who was always willing to help the same sex, lived alone, and was bathed in flames.

At the beginning of the end of the world, order was in chaos, and a large number of vicious elements were cultivated and fermented.

Perhaps it is a trick of God that extremely vicious people are more likely to obtain supernatural powers, and gangs and small groups are everywhere.

Zhan Rou and her sister, who survived in the cracks, barely survived the first cold winter after the apocalypse. She awakened her fire ability and thought it was the beginning of improvement, but she encountered gang trouble.

It was too difficult for women to survive in the apocalypse. The primary fire ability did not seem to protect them, and they were still persecuted.

Zhan Rou was unable to fight back after her sister's tragic death. In order to avenge herself, she followed the gang until she was strong enough to slaughter the entire stronghold with a knife.

After that, she became bloodthirsty and would kill the beast whenever she encountered such things.

Communications were not well developed in the apocalypse, but Zhan Rou made a name for herself with her desperate ruthlessness. But she did this just to help women who had also suffered or were being persecuted, and to provide them with a source of help.

She has saved many people, helped them escape from their clutches and escorted them to a safe zone.

She had always thought that her behavior of not fearing gang retaliation and making enemies everywhere was helping her peers and preventing them from facing tragedy, until...

After she once again killed a scumbag who assaulted a woman, the woman she saved broke down and accused her of her actions.

'Why did you kill him?'

'Do you think you are the savior? Zhan Rou, do you think you can save us like this? '

"It's useless. I know you are doing this for our own good, but we want to live. We want to live in the end times!"

'We are not you. We don't have powerful superpowers, nor do we have the agility to resist zombies. If we want to live, we can only rely on others. Food, shelter, work, nothing in the world is free, but in the end times, our bodies are our only bargaining chips! '

'If you kill him, do you think his brothers will let me go? I know you can take me away, but I will only be a burden to you. You can protect me for a while, but can you protect me forever?'

"Just leave us alone, okay? No one has an easy life in the end times, I've accepted the status quo."

"Zhan Rou, go ahead before they find out. You can't defeat them because they are outnumbered."

The woman's crying and begging froze her in place. Zhan Rou thought she was right, but the facts told her that was not the case.

The woman was right. From the other person's perspective, it seemed that this was the only way for him to survive.

But...but...it's clearly not their own will.

However, faced with this situation, even she could not come up with a reasonable solution.

Is she really... wrong?

Her chest was blocked and she couldn't breathe. The thing that Zhan Rou had been holding on to in her heart was shattered.

She began to doubt the rightness of her behavior, and examined whether she was too obsessed with what happened to herself and her sister, and whether she was just trying to make up for her past self by "saving" other homosexuals in a heroic manner.

Perhaps, she had never seriously considered their demands.

Is she wrong?

The dead man's teammates finally arrived, and the other side had a stronger helper. In order to help Zhan Rou escape, the woman rushed over to block a move and died on the spot.

After that battle, Zhan Rou was badly injured. She fell in the wilderness in a daze and dejected. When she was about to be eaten by zombies, she was picked up by a member of the Crested Ibis Organization who happened to pass by.

After that, Zhan Rou died, and the only one left alive was the experimental subject 033 within the organization.

"Many things are inconclusive. There are still many unsolved things in this world. Don't be too obsessed. You should rest, 033."

The lights in the observation room were turned off, and the scorching light above his head dimmed as he sensed it. 033 looked at the person who turned and left, lowered his head, folded his tail, coiled up, and closed his eyes.
