The phone buzzed with a message notification, illuminating the otherwise dark room with a dim blue light. Lin Beiyue nestled in the blankets, her mind hazy.

My head hurts a little, what happened?

Oh, her uncle's family went on a three-day trip to the amusement park yesterday, so she doesn't have to get up early to cook, do laundry, or do housework. She can take some time to study now. Shall she memorize English today?

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

The phone kept ringing, as if it wouldn't stop until its owner answered.

Why is it so dark?

Lin Beiyue reached for her phone next to her pillow, only to find that her muscles were aching terribly. She could unlock it without a fingerprint or password by swiping up, and the text message in large red characters brought her back to her senses.

"Knock knock knock!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The dim lighting and the crimson words made Lin Beiyue sit up with a start, as if something that didn't exist was staring at her from the darkness.

Lin Beiyue had long been wary and it had become a habit. Her uncle's son never treated her like a human being. He would often come in the middle of the night to pull off her blankets or pour glue into her mouth. In the past, she would wake up in the middle of the night and see her cousin holding a utility knife with the blade almost touching her.

Therefore, the oppressive atmosphere outside the window made Lin Beiyue's hair stand on end. She immediately rolled off the bed without making a sound and tiptoed towards the door.

I am the only human left in this world!

A thought suddenly popped into Lin Beiyue's mind. Lin Beiyue covered her forehead, wondering where the thought came from.

I have a special ability, and my special ability is ____.

What is my superpower?

Why can't I remember?

Lin Beiyue swallowed hard, surprisingly feeling little fear. She had only taken two steps forward when the door suddenly slammed shut.

"Bang bang bang!"

The person knocking on the door seemed impatient and started banging on it frantically, accompanied by screams that sounded abnormal.

I'm the only normal person left in the world, so who's outside the door?

Who am I?

Lin Beiyue peered through the peephole but couldn't see anything. It was pitch black outside, like an endless abyss swallowing everything.

[Leave __ to find Shi Yin __]

Who is Shi Yin? She seems so familiar.

We must find her!

Lin Beiyue's mind went blank for a moment, and before she could think any further, a white pupil suddenly appeared in the cat's eye!

Those pale pupils were covered with bluish-gray capillaries, and the tiny black pupils stared intently at Lin Beiyue.

Lin Beiyue's eyes, which were pressed against the cat's eye, hadn't been removed when she was suddenly stared at like that. Her scalp tingled with fear, and she sat down on the ground with her hair standing on end. But she gritted her teeth and didn't scream.

However, the people outside had clearly confirmed that someone was inside and began banging on the door even more frantically. Accompanied by the smell of blood, some liquid squeezed in through the cracks in the door.

"Lin Beiyue! Open the door!" The voice outside was hoarse and unpleasant: "It's me, Uncle! You little brat, open the door!"

Lin Beiyue slowly stood up, supporting herself on the table. Her mind calmed down. It was indeed her uncle's voice outside the door, but it was hoarse and strange, with an eerie pause.

Who's outside the door!

Why am I here?

Lin Beiyue bit down on the arm until her mouth was filled with the taste of blood before she let go. The taste of blood, along with the stinging pain, finally allowed Lin Beiyue to regain control of her body.

Call the police!

Lin Beiyue remembered that she had a cell phone, but when she turned it on, she found that there was no signal and only a blood-red text message that stung her eyes.

Lin Beiyue scanned the room with the dim light of the screen. The all-metal room made her frown. Although she remembered this being her room, it didn't make sense. A person couldn't live in a room made entirely of metal—the bed, the table, the chairs…

So, is her memory distorted?

Lin Beiyue pressed down on the peephole to prevent light from leaking out, and was surprised to find that the peephole actually had a cover. Lin Beiyue quickly covered the peephole, and after making sure the curtains were thick enough, she covered the curtain rod with the quilt.

After doing all this, Lin Beiyue turned on her flashlight and found the room light.

"Wonderful!"

Inside the monitoring room, the surrounding lab technicians couldn't help but marvel.

Among the six control groups, Lin Beiyue was clearly the first to regain consciousness and calm down. In extreme fear, she tried to stay awake by using pain, covering the peephole and covering the window with an even thicker blanket.

“Look how smart they are.” Helmod nudged Shi Yin: “They can calmly analyze things.”

Shi Yin rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay any attention.

“Mr. Helmod, were you also experimented on like this?” A bold experimenter approached and asked, “How did you and Ms. Shion pass the test?”

"Me? I took apart all the metal in the room and made a gun and a knife, then opened the door and stormed out." Helmod patted Shi Yin's shoulder teasingly: "Your sister Yin is amazing. She's so grumpy when she wakes up. She just opened the door, dragged the zombie in, and beat it up."

"After beating it up, I realized I hadn't beaten a human. The poor little zombie's head was off. I spent a long time questioning my existence and wondering if I was going to go to jail."

Everyone: ?

ah?

Shi Yin: "..."

"Ahem, look closely." Shi Yin tapped the table.

However, everyone noticed that Shi Yin's ears were a little red.

I'm shy!

On the screen, Lin Beiyue was clearly the best performer besides Chang Ning.

Ji Chuan turned on the lights ahead of time without paying attention to the issue of light transmission. To ensure fairness, the system reminded him not to make a sound beforehand. As a result, the light coming through the windows and doors immediately woke up all the zombies outside, who frantically banged on the doors.

The other three were similar, but the girl in number 4 was smarter. She dismantled everything in the house that she could, wrapped it in her clothes, and carried it on her back. It seemed that she realized that these were weapons.

If Lin Beiyue's performance was commendable, then Chang Ning's performance was simply terrifying.

Changning was the last one to wake up. She woke up hungry, her eyes red and swollen from hunger. She didn't even turn on the light. Under the horrified gazes of the lab technicians, she opened the door, opened her mouth, and ate all the zombies.

have eaten?

The monitoring room was completely silent.

The surveillance footage continued as Changning walked forward. Eating seemed to be her instinct. She opened her mouth, and the zombies that rushed towards her were twisted, compressed, and flew into Changning's mouth.

This scene was somewhat frightening.

"Bring Changning to the lounge." Shi Yin tapped the table with her fingertips. "She should be out in about half a minute."

"Ah, yes, yes!" Someone wiped the sweat from their forehead and went out tremblingly.

On the other side, Lin Beiyue also dismantled everything in the room. There was a screwdriver next to her, and Lin Beiyue dismantled the chairs and tables into metal sheets.

Shi Yin frowned; this was not what she wanted to see.

"Deploy the manipulators," Shi Yin commanded. The experimenters dared not disobey and immediately pressed the button.

On the other side, Lin Beiyue was dismantling a weapon. She had only dismantled half of it when the banging sound outside the door suddenly became louder, followed by banging sounds coming from the window.

Lin Beiyue's face turned pale. She shouldn't have revealed anything, so why did the zombies suddenly riot?

Lin Beiyue immediately picked up a few pieces of iron and retreated to a corner with her back against the wall. Just as she reached the corner, the door was smashed open.

I have superpowers; if I kill them, I can ___.

My special ability is ___

My superpower, what is a superpower!

Lin Beiyue's face turned deathly pale. The zombies were getting closer and closer. Suddenly, a memory flashed through her mind: the memory of being devoured by zombies, with countless zombies gnawing on her flesh.

No, don't!
