After a bloody battle all night, Gu Li fell into a peaceful sleep. When she opened her eyes the next day, instead of her beloved Alex Pain Wall, she saw a dim, yellow sky.

She sat up blankly, looked around, and then her expression suddenly changed as she stared at the corpse on the ground not far away. Was that a corpse?

It was a corpse, wasn't it?!

Her pupils dilated involuntarily, and she unconsciously took a few steps back, but her eyes could not leave the strange corpse.

It wasn't that the body was particularly handsome—no, her gaze swept across the face, and it was indeed quite handsome.

If the corpse wasn't half-human, half-octopus, and if it wasn't spreading upwards, Gu Li probably would have observed three seconds of silence for this handsome man.

Her gaze lingered on him, finally settling vaguely on the pink tentacles that were struggling unconsciously. Her just-awakened mind began to feel dizzy.

Those terrifying tentacles suddenly became cute. Gu Li ground her teeth and looked at the shiny tips, even feeling a sudden urge to take a bite.

She took a step forward, her eyes glazed over, and her fingertips just touched the struggling tentacle when the octopus suddenly stopped. He opened his dark eyes and stared at her.

Under certain influences, the increasingly pale skin made the man look like a corpse that had been dead for many days and then come back to life.

"Who...who are you?"

Gu Li: ...Does this have to be so cliché? Is it going to be an amnesia trope?

She had barely opened her mouth when the handsome man's expression changed. His large hand, which hadn't yet fully transformed, covered her eyes and pulled her behind him.

Gu Li heard a rattling sound, like a flag, followed by the handsome man's suppressed voice: "Eleventh Army, assemble."

She silently shut her mouth. The 11th Army? An army?

What exactly is this place?

Gu Li heard a series of stumbling sounds approaching, some sounding like people, others like animals dragging on the ground. The angry handsome octopus said, "The safe zone has abandoned us."

"The city we were protecting has also become a ruin."

Gu Li: How tragic.

She heard the voice behind her continue: "Going back now is certain death, Eric, Mr. Cen. Our warriors possess unwavering faith and reason; they are still...human."

Another voice, so pleasant it could make your ears tingle, rang out: "In that case, let's follow the route we scouted beforehand and head to Leicester, no, the city of aliens."

Another voice followed, this time referring to Gu Li: "Is she a civilian caught up in the war?"

"We probably don't have time to send her back."

The octopus-like handsome guy behind Gu Li said firmly, "You guys go first, I'll take her back and catch up right away!"

She overheard others whispering: "It looks so weak, it'll probably get eaten by some wandering aliens if it stays here."

"It's too dangerous! The mopping-up troops are on their way!"

Gu Li raised her hand in the darkness and said weakly, "Can I come with you?"

Based on the information we just extracted, it seems that these people who were credited with making contributions have been abandoned by the authorities.

The image of a handsome octopus flashed through her mind. Her little brain, which had played countless horror games, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, following the usual pattern of games.

These handsome guys who survived the danger but underwent mutations and were abandoned by the authorities are very likely to be the protagonists of this work!

Following the main character is definitely the right thing to do!

The surrounding noise subsided for a moment.

Suddenly, the sound of a propeller came from the sky not far away, growing louder as it approached.

Before Gu Li could hear their voices, she was suddenly lifted into the air. Something wrapped around her waist, and she felt a distinct sense of weightlessness.

she:!!!

"Wait! I..."

Suddenly, she heard a man's voice, tinged with apology and tension: "I'm sorry, miss, the situation is urgent. We're afraid we'll have to take you with us for your safety."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of rapid gunshots rang out behind them.

Gu Li's face was still being thoughtfully hidden by the person behind her. She took a breath and insisted on speaking, "But..."

After an explosion, the man carrying her groaned, then flipped her through the air before continuing forward.

Warm liquid fell onto Gu Li's hand. Her fingertips paused, then followed the direction to touch his back. Below was a strangely slippery texture, while above, a pair of wings that she had never seen before grew from his human spine.

She could clearly feel those wings flapping forcefully.

But beneath the wings, his back was practically blown to pieces. When Gu Li touched it, the sensation of blood and the ruptured wounds made her gasp softly.

She murmured the rest of what she hadn't finished saying earlier.

"But I feel like something's not right with me..."

He Shiyi felt the small hand gently touching his back, paused for a moment, and was about to put Gu Li's hand down.

A familiar warm current wafted from where they met.

Following her subconscious intuition, Gu Li released something, but after a moment she felt she could release nothing more, and weakly withdrew her hand.

"Sorry, I just had this strange feeling that it might be helpful. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble?"

He Shiyi looked at the pale and thin girl in his arms with surprise. Her light golden hair and fleeting blue eyes clearly indicated that she had weak genes.

She miraculously awakened and became the Child of Light?!

He Shiyi frowned, and hurriedly glanced back: "I'm starting to regret it. You should have stayed in the safe zone."
