Luo Ning ran after those people, not knowing where she was going, she just wanted to run.

A tremendous roar came from behind. Looking back, I saw dozens of huge mechanical engineering vehicles parked in a circle, forming a large ring with only a few meters wide opening, like a trap waiting for wild animals to crawl in.

The smell of blood filled the air, coming from inside the circle. The people running suddenly stopped, their eyes filled with struggle. After a while, some turned around and ran frantically toward the encirclement, while others continued running forward, drooling.

Luo Ning also reacted to the blood; its sweet and tempting aroma made her want to go into that circle, but she immediately came to her senses. She was human; why would she want to drink blood?

She stared blankly in the direction of the vehicle. After everyone ran inside, the gap was immediately blocked by the car. Gunshots and screams came from inside, and then silence slowly returned.

Clearly, there was a massacre there.

Luo Ning's heart was pounding. She was thankful for her self-control. She didn't know where she was, so she could only turn around and keep running.

Where exactly is this place? What happened? Isn't this a society governed by the rule of law? How could someone be using a gun?

After reaching a safe place, everyone stopped to rest, panting heavily. Only Luo Ning felt fine, with no discomfort, except for a feeling of something behind her tailbone.

She reached down to her tailbone and touched a soft, fluffy ball of fur that felt quite nice to the touch. She tugged at it, trying to pull it out, and was shocked to discover that it had actually grown from inside her own body.

"Ah!" she exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" the young girl who had pulled her along as they ran asked as she approached.

"I...it's nothing." Luo Ning hesitated, knowing that if she told these people that she had a tail, they would definitely treat her like a monster.

"I thought I was fast enough, but I didn't expect you to be even faster than me. You're amazing!" the girl said, wiping away sweat. Her hands were adorable cat paws with pink paw pads.

Luo Ning's eyes widened: "Your hand..."

"What's wrong with my hand?" The girl looked at her hand and saw that it was fine. Seeing Luo Ning's shocked expression, she smiled and said, "You must have just awakened, so you don't know that some of us alien species have animal characteristics. It's okay, you'll get used to it soon. There are many of us here."

Luo Ning listened, stunned. Awakening? A mutant?

This looks so much like a post-apocalyptic novel she read before. Could she have time-traveled?

She looked down at her clothes again; they were a dirty, hospital-gown-like outfit covered in large stains that looked like dried blood. She had no idea how long she had worn them.

Three hours later, after seeing more than a dozen people with animal characteristics, Luo Ning finally slowly accepted the fact that she had transmigrated into a different species.

Moreover, considering the massacre of the alien species by humans just now, it seems that I have transmigrated to the ending of the novel, which is precisely when humans are carrying out a large-scale cleanup of the alien species.

But for some reason, she didn't feel afraid; in fact, she felt she could live a good life.

I just feel a void in my heart, as if I've lost something precious.

"Where does this confidence come from?" she sighed, cupping her face in her hands.

Just as she was trying to hypnotize herself, the girl with the cat paws from before walked over and sat down next to her: "My name is Zhou Yingying, what's your name?"

Luo Ning raised her head and replied, "My name is Luo Ning."

“I see you’re alone too, how about we travel together later?” Zhou Yingying said enthusiastically.

Luo Ning thought for a moment and nodded. In the unknown post-apocalyptic world, traveling together could greatly increase the chances of survival. However, the thought of the antagonism between alien species and humans, and the fact that one had to kill and eat people to survive, made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" she asked.

Zhou Yingying sighed: "The situation here is not good. We are no match for humans anymore. You saw it today, so many people died."

"Do they really show absolutely no mercy? For example, even though I'm a different species, I don't eat people, but will they still kill me?"

“How could a mutant not eat people?” Zhou Yingying sighed.

Thinking of the descriptions in the novel, Luo Ning felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

"Then humanity should have recovered quite a bit by now!" Luo Ning asked again.

"Well, it's been three years since they created the weapon that can kill us. The place where I used to live has been taken over by humans."

Luo Ning then realized that she had not transmigrated to the novel's ending, but rather to three years after the ending.

"But that human commander is so handsome! I really want to turn him into a mutant and keep him by my side forever." Zhou Yingying's eyes sparkled.

"Are you talking about Song Pei?" Luo Ning asked. Song Pei is the male protagonist of the novel. Although he wasn't a commander at the end of the novel, it's been three years now, so he should have been promoted by now.

Zhou Yingying shook her head: "It's not surnamed Song, I think it's Lu something, Lu Xinghe, yes, that's the name."

Upon hearing the name Lu Xinghe, Luo Ningxin suddenly jumped. She instinctively clutched her chest, feeling an indescribable sensation.

"If only there were a medicine that could turn us back into humans, that would resolve the conflict," Luo Ning said.

But after she finished speaking, the other creatures around her looked at her with hostility.

Zhou Yingying was also stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled her aside: "You must never say such things again."

Luo Ning frowned: "Why?"

Zhou Yingying replied, "Because no one here wants to become human; they are pursuing immortality. The last person who said that was secretly killed."

"Killed?" Luo Ning found it strange. Wanting to become human doesn't mean you can actually become human, so why would she be killed just for saying it?

"Yeah, his head was crushed."

As the two were talking, a strong alien stood up and said loudly, "We can't just sit here and wait to die. I've made up my mind. I'm going to join Boss Jin and fight against humanity with his team."

"Count me in."

"And me too."

The mutants stood up one after another, and for a moment, the crowd was filled with excitement.

Luo Ning looked at all this, thinking about the plot in the novel. Who could have imagined that the alien species that once drove humanity to the brink of extinction would one day be crushed by humans?

"Who is Boss Jin?" she asked Zhou Yingying again.

Zhou Yingying whispered, "A very powerful mutant has raised an army of 10,000 to fight against humans. I heard that he recently captured a human weapons depot, but I don't want to go there."

"Why?"

"Because I've met this Boss Jin before. He's extremely lecherous, whether it's human women or people like us. His methods are very cruel. And recently I heard that he's going to find a bunch of women to have his babies."

"Have a child? Why?"

"I heard that he learned some important secret from humans, related to childbirth."

Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, "Then he can't succeed. It's impossible for two different species to produce life."

Zhou Yingying nodded: "That seems to be true. I haven't seen any mutants give birth in all these years. But how do you know? Didn't you just awaken?"

Luo Ning smiled slyly: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

Since neither of them wanted to join Boss Kim's team, they decided to go on their own.

"Where do we go now?" Zhou Yingying asked.

“South.” Luo Ning blurted out, then paused for a moment, as if she had prepared those two words long ago.

Why head south?

"Because it's warmer over there," Luo Ning offered as an excuse.

Zhou Yingying looked south and saw a clear, peaceful sky: "Okay, let's go south. But shouldn't you change your clothes first? Your clothes are too dirty. Hmm, there seem to be words on them."

Luo Ning looked down and saw a line of incomplete embroidered words under a stain on her chest. Only the character "因" could be barely made out.

"Your clothes are of pretty good quality. They haven't fallen apart after all this time. When I awakened, my clothes were tattered, like I was running around naked," Zhou Yingying said.

Generally speaking, alien species without consciousness do not change their clothes; only those that have awakened do.

Luo Ning looked at the water nearby. Her face was still her own, still looking like she was twenty years old. So she had come from there wearing the clothes. This outfit was not put on by her, but by someone else.

Did she faint after transmigrating, and someone change her clothes during that time?

"What are you thinking? You can't hear me when I talk to you." Zhou Yingying waved her cute cat paw in front of Luo Ning's eyes.

Luo Ning snapped out of her reverie: "Nothing, what did you want to tell me?"

Zhou Yingying said with a smile, "I said we need to find a hiding place before dark, otherwise it will be terrible if humans find us."

"Okay, let's go." Luo Ning said and walked forward.

As the sun was setting, the two arrived at a small town. Zhou Yingying closed her eyes and twitched her nose: "There are no humans, but four or five alien species."

Luo Ning also closed her eyes and came to the same conclusion as Zhou Yingying.

After entering the city, Luo Ning first went to the shops to see if she could find any clothes that hadn't rotted yet, and luckily she actually found some.

After changing her clothes, she initially intended to throw away the hospital gown, but after some hesitation, she washed it and hung it up to dry.

After doing all this, she and Zhou Yingying patrolled the surrounding area to make sure there were no other alien species. Zhou Yingying said that because of the human counterattack, it is not easy for alien species to eat people now, so there has been a phenomenon of alien species eating each other. If the two of them encounter a powerful alien species, they might become its food.

Luo Ning found several flyers while on patrol. Although they were tattered, the writing on them was still faintly legible.

Curious, she picked it up. It was illustrated with pictures and text explaining that the base could revert mutants to human form, and that mutants who saw the leaflet were encouraged to seek out gene therapy when they encountered humans.

"It's a human trick to lure us in and kill us. Don't believe this nonsense," Zhou Yingying said firmly.

Luo Ning continued to look intently at the pictures and words on the flyer, a voice in her heart telling her that this was a very likely thing.

But thinking about the huge construction vehicles she saw and the gunshots she heard today, she also had some doubts.

Luo Ning folded the paper and put it in her pocket. She decided to observe when she encountered humans to see if this was really true.

After all, in the novel, the heroine An Xiaoruo's genes can be used to create a weapon that can kill aliens, so it's not impossible for the aliens to revert to being human.
