“What did you say?”
Mo Huaiyu couldn’t remain calm anymore.
Before, she could convince herself in her mind, thinking that maybe Bai Ren and Lu Xing were similar to Mo Yi’s situation, just that they had taken some special drugs that changed their physique.
Most of the guards in the base had used these drugs. In difficult times like the apocalypse, people would take risks to survive.
People from other places might have developed different drugs that, when taken, would result in different mutations.
But now, Mo Yi had directly told her that Bai Ren and Lu Xing were not human to begin with!
“You explain to me clearly what that means!” Mo Huaiyu stared at Mo Yi, gritting her teeth.
After spending so much time together, Mo Yi understood the temperament of the female lead. So when hearing her question, Mo Yi thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
Of course, he couldn’t disclose all the details of the plot, but he mentioned what Bai Ren and 666 had told him.
With Mo Huaiyu’s intelligence, as soon as Mo Yi mentioned the research institute, she would probably piece together the general idea of what had happened.
Especially when she heard that Bai Ren’s original designation was 0 and Lu Xing was 666.
Regardless, Mo Huaiyu was a high-ranking member of the base and would definitely have access to some information that ordinary people wouldn’t.
Everyone was well aware that the origin of this apocalypse stemmed from a research institute’s leak. It was said that the experimental subjects being researched there had mutated. It was also due to the negligence of the staff that the current tragedy had occurred.
But what the mutated experimental subjects actually looked like, very few people truly knew.
The extent of the harm they could cause, and whether they would become intelligent monsters like in the movies, were all unknowns.
So, Mo Huaiyu already had a reasonable suspicion that Bai Ren and Lu Xing were among the original experimental subjects.
Furthermore, Mo Yi’s confession confirmed Mo Huaiyu’s speculation, which made her even more troubled, because it was evident that her brother had genuine feelings for Bai Ren.
Although Mo Huaiyu had a very good impression of Bai Ren and Lu Xing, she couldn’t help but worry for the safety of the entire base, especially her brother.
“Mo Yi, are there any more experimental subjects like Number 0 and 666?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
This was what Mo Huaiyu was most worried about. Ordinary monsters were already enough trouble for them, but if there were many more powerful monsters like Number 0 and 666 out there, what were the chances of humanity surviving?

Mo Yi, sister is only looking out for you. I just hope you’ll be safe. You know, that place is where the apocalypse began, and Number 0 and 666…”
“Dangerous just because they come from the research institute?”
Her words were suddenly interrupted. Mo Huaiyu looked at Mo Yi, who was now bowing his head. Actually, she found it difficult to say these things too. She was just worried about the safety of her only family member.
But before she could continue, Mo Yi asked again, “Are they dangerous just because they come from the research institute?”
Mo Huaiyu was taken aback for a moment, then she heard him continue, “Is being born truly a sin? Sister, do you also believe that some people are born sinful?”
Raising his head, Mo Yi revealed his reddened eyes, filled with a deep sense of resentment and sorrow that Mo Huaiyu had never seen before.
Her heart twisted at the sight, realizing that she had no answer for Mo Yi’s questions.
Her little brother seemed to be shrouded in a shadow, looking so sorrowful.
Mo Yi was genuinely upset. Mo Huaiyu’s words stirred up his past wounds. He too had been seen as ominous, despised, and exploited. It seemed that he was born sinful, with no one caring about his joys and sorrows.
He fought desperately against the world, simply to survive.
But even such a simple wish seemed so extravagant.
He just wanted to live, really, just wanted to live.
Even if he had attacked humans, even if he had pretended to be ferocious and resisted anyone’s approach.
Was there anything wrong with not wanting to be hurt again?
And now, his partner and Lu Xing were obviously sharing the same fate as his past self. How could he just stand by and watch them be forced to become the villains of this world?
His fists clenched tightly, Mo Yi felt like he was being transported back to those days of torment.
The partially awakened sealed soul trembled once again, causing the system in his consciousness to pale in shock.
“Host! Calm down!”
“Host! Please calm down, the protagonist really doesn’t mean any harm!”
006 urgently tried to calm down Mo Yi’s emotions, and fortunately, Mo Yi managed to restrain himself before it was too late.
He didn’t know why his emotions had surged so strongly just now. Perhaps it had to do with breaking free from constraints during moments of crisis in his previous world.
But he also remembered 006’s warning: for the sake of his companions, he could accept such suppression as long as they could live happily in these worlds.
Despite gradually letting go of past pains through the happiness of many worlds, those past wounds could never be completely erased, because they felt so real.
But when he thought of Bai Ren, he was willing to temporarily set aside everything. The happiness he had now was hard-won, and he truly cherished it.
At the same time, he deeply empathized with Bai Ren and Lu Xing in this world.
“Sister, I will never abandon Bai Ren. As for Lu Xing, he is my friend, and I will protect him just the same!”
The determination in the young man’s eyes was unwavering, and his words were resolute..
On the other side, Mo Huaiyu was clearly stunned by Mo Yi’s demeanor just now. She knew exactly what he meant. Whether human or any other creature, one’s origin couldn’t be changed.
Origin was not a sin. Lu Xing couldn’t even grasp the most basic knowledge before. According to Mo Yi, it was only recently that Lu Xing began to develop independent thoughts.
The beginning of the apocalypse had nothing to do with these experimented animals and plants. They were victims, and human greed was the culprit. It was the extreme exploitation of interests and the conduct of unauthorized secret research that had led to everything that had happened.
Bai Ren and Lu Xing were evidently the most innocent beings. They didn’t even know why they were born into this world. All they knew was that from the beginning, they had become the monsters everyone wanted to kill…
Mo Huaiyu could understand her brother’s feelings, but as a human, as a sister, in necessary circumstances, she could even go against her conscience, even be cruel, to sacrifice Bai Ren and Lu Xing.
But now, things hadn’t reached that point yet. Perhaps it was because of their recent interactions that gave the female lead some confidence.
So, she earnestly asked Mo Yi, “Mo Yi, can you guarantee that Bai Ren and Lu Xing will be safe, and they won’t do anything harmful to humans under any circumstances?”
“I can’t,” came the unexpected answer, momentarily stunning Mo Huaiyu.
Then she heard Mo Yi continue, “But I can assure you that if no one harms them, they won’t actively attack anyone.”
Mo Huaiyu fell silent for a moment, then nodded in the end, deciding to give everyone a chance.
However, the true identities of Bai Ren and Lu Xing had to be kept secret. The siblings quickly agreed on this matter, even deciding to conceal it from their trusted aides. After all, this was not a trivial matter.
Most importantly, they couldn’t let the others in the base know that experimental subjects from the research institute were here. Human fear could be infinitely magnified, especially fear of the unknown.
If it were only a few people, perhaps they could remain calm with proper guidance. But once people gathered in large numbers, the lack of control became pronounced. The herd mentality sometimes blinded people, leading them to make irrational decisions, even attempting to eliminate any potential threat at the slightest hint.
By then, Bai Ren and Lu Xing would surely resist, and there would be sacrifices among humans. All of this was to ensure the safety of both sides.
Once everything was settled, Mo Yi and Mo Huaiyu finally walked out of the room.
Standing at the door were Bai Ren and Lu Xing. Bai Ren appeared as if he had just straightened up from the door, clearly eavesdropping shamelessly.
As soon as Bai Ren saw Mo Yi, he walked up to him, calling out Mo Yi’s name softly and affectionately.
“Mo Yi, Mo Yi!”
Bai Ren leaned in and kissed Mo Yi’s cheek, completely disregarding the presence of the two others standing nearby. He pressed himself against Mo Yi, full of joy, and said, “Mo Yi, you’re amazing!”
Mo Yi’s firm support in the room earlier deeply moved Bai Ren. He knew there was no human better than Mo Yi in this world. And this human was his partner. He felt incredibly lucky!
Burying his head in Mo Yi’s neck, Bai Ren breathed in his scent deeply, his body throbbing with the same intensity as his emotions. He wished he could be intimate with the person he loved right now. It felt like only then could he truly express his feelings.
Seeing this clingy little couple next to her, Mo Huaiyu pursed her lips and cast a glance at Lu Xing, who was calmly watching beside them. She felt a twinge of envy. Sometimes, being simple-minded seemed like a good thing, at least it wouldn’t be awkward…
In the end, Mo Huaiyu couldn’t bear it and coughed twice loudly, waking Mo Yi from his trance of almost being immersed in his partner’s beautiful face.
Patting his partner’s shoulder, Mo Yi whispered softly, “Let’s wait until later. There are still important matters to attend to.”
The recent attack from Dahe Base, though temporarily halted, still had many follow-ups needed to be done, especially related to Huang Fuyue. Neither Mo Yi nor Mo Huaiyu would let him off the hook.
They had been so busy dealing with the people from Dahe Base that they almost forgot about this guy.
They killed a human for you just know, how do you expect them to guarantee that they never attack humans if you can’t guarantee the same?
Thank you for the chapter.
Thank you for the chapter! ❤
I always think that question is funny. Who can guarantee a human won’t cause them all harm? Several already tried
Probably because they are 1) on a completely different level of lethality and 2) unknown and therefore less predictable. Same reason why there are so many movies about AI taking over the world. Personally, I think it’s a leftover instinct from when we were prey.
Mo Huaiyu and Lu Xing soon? 🤯🤯
Thank you so very much for the chapter!!~♥️
