Luogong City.

This fortified city, surrounded by special metal walls, is not very large, covering only tens of square kilometers, and the total population living here is just over one million.

On Earth forty years ago, a city of this size would not even be considered a fifth-tier county town.

Yet, in this era of devastation, it was already one of the largest cities in the entire Eurasian continent. In a world where the land, rivers, and air were contaminated by radiation and teeming with twisted monsters, the mere existence of a city that could shelter a million people was truly a miracle, one of humanity's last remaining havens.

In the face of a cultural gap in knowledge and technology, the rulers of Luogong City naturally established a new urban order. In addition to various indispensable institutions, schools that nurture emerging talents were also indispensable.

Order is essential for any human society to have a chance of continuing.

After all, the human population is extremely small now, and chaotic cities will naturally disappear over time without external destruction. — The people of Earth can no longer bear the internal friction.

After more than ten years of management and planning, Luogong City has barely regained its former prosperity.

If ordinary people don’t step out of the city walls, they won’t even be able to feel that this is a dark and bleak era.

"Yaoyao, bye!"

"Yeah, see you at school tomorrow!"

At a fork in the road, Chu Yaoyao and her best friend said goodbye to each other and walked to the other side of the street.

Her house is just across the street, just through an alley.

"...Why is there so few people here today?"

Chu Yaoyao passed by the alley and frowned in confusion.

On weekdays, there are always a few old men playing chess here. She would stop to watch when she passed by occasionally. However, today was a little unusual. Not to mention the old men, even some children playing nearby were nowhere to be seen. The alley was eerily quiet.

Despite her doubts, Chu Yaoyao continued walking to the other side, then entered a residential building and stopped on the third floor.

She took the key out of her pocket and turned the iron door open.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Chu Yaoyao stood at the entrance, changing her shoes while putting down her backpack and hanging it on the shelf next to her.

The house wasn't big, just over 40 square meters, but it was more than enough for the mother and daughter. In this era of resource scarcity, becoming a legal citizen with a home was something many homeless people only dreamed of.

"Mom, are you home...?"

Chu Yaoyao put on slippers, tied her messy ponytail, and walked into the kitchen.

After she called out twice, she didn't get any response from her mother, which made the girl feel a little strange. Her mother's shoes were clearly placed at the door, so she should have come home from get off work.

However, the doubt on the girl's face turned into fear the next moment.

Blood.

All she saw was bright red blood.

In the small kitchen, fragments of organs and limbs were scattered all over the space. On the side of the wall, a pile of intestines that had been rotted into meat paste were tightly stuck to it, like irregular lines of rapeseed paint, leaving horrific patterns on the tiled wall.

"ah--"

Chu Yaoyao screamed subconsciously, but the human tissue stuck to the glass in front of her made all the sound stuck in her throat.

Because she saw a face, yes... only a piece of skin was left of the face structure, no eyeballs, no nose, only the blood-stained face, sticking to the glass in a strange way.

Seeing such a horrible scene, Chu Yaoyao, who should have been terrified, was instead dominated by great sadness and pain in her heart.

"Mother..."

Chu Yaoyao's face was pale, without a trace of blood. Her hands were clenched tightly, and she didn't even feel her nails digging into her flesh.

how so!?

This can’t be true!?

right!

This must be a dream!

This is absolutely not reality!

"It seems that Experiment C2 has been found."

Just when Chu Yaoyao was about to faint, an extremely cold male voice came from behind her.

She turned around with some trembling, and just then, a few men with cold faces appeared out of nowhere and stood not far behind her, looking at her quietly.

"Who are you...?!" Chu Yaoyao looked at these strange men in black and asked tremblingly, "You... killed my mother...?"

Her mother's tragic death had left her emotionally on the verge of collapse.

"You should know that she is not your biological mother." The leading man in black looked at Chu Yaoyao and whispered, "Dr. Chu escaped with three Force experiments back then, and you were one of them."

"...I don't understand what you're talking about." Chu Yaoyao's face was pale, and she was trembling all over, not knowing whether it was out of anger or fear. "But if you came for me, why did you kill my mother so cruelly?"

"Because she was one of Dr. Chu's assistants back then." The man in black calmly looked at the girl on the verge of collapse. "Anyone who betrays the organization will be sentenced to death. This is what she deserves."

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Chu Yaoyao, "Now we must recycle defective products like you."

Chu Yaoyao screamed in fear, "Don't touch me!"

bite!

As the girl screamed, a sonic boom instantly exploded in front of the man in black, and the furniture placed next to him shattered into pieces. The airflow generated by the sound swept around, and a large amount of smoke and dust flew up and scattered.

When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the girl's figure had disappeared from the spot.
