Taipei, old street.
In the darkness of night, dilapidated old buildings huddle together, leaning precariously.
The cracked walls of the building looked like they could collapse at any moment.
In a cramped and damp little room.
Xu An clutched his stomach with both hands, his eyes wide, looking down in disbelief at the knife stuck in his abdomen, then looking up at the woman in front of him.
His sister, whom he had raised with such care and love for so many years, actually…
Kill him!
A flicker of panic crossed Xu Fengling's face, but it was quickly replaced by hatred.
"You asked for this, you asked for this yourself..."
"Xu An, you asked for this!"
"You made me lose face at school and made my friends laugh at me!"
"You want to ruin my relationship and destroy my future? Why can't you stand to see me doing well!"
"You deserved it...you deserved to die!"
Xu Fengling roared hysterically, as if she had gone mad.
Xu An stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him.
A sharp pain shot through my heart, a pain more intense than the knife wound in my stomach.
Since my parents died in the cataclysm that first erupted with spiritual energy.
Over the years, he has been both a father and a mother to his children, working tirelessly from dawn till dusk to raise his younger siblings.
After the cataclysm, the world's original order was destroyed, and in this cannibalistic age, he was just a child...
Even so, he never complained.
A year ago, Xu Fengling and Xu Wang awakened their talents, A-level!
He instantly became a spiritual master envied by everyone, a genius in everyone's eyes, with an immeasurable future.
From that time on, Xu Fengling and Xu Wang's attitude towards him changed.
To support his younger siblings, he worked long hours in highly polluted environments, which caused him to develop cancer.
Yesterday, fearing he might die at any moment, he went to the school to check on Xu Fengling.
I also wanted to get some living expenses for Xu Fengling, but...
But it became a disgrace in Xu Fengling's eyes.
To prevent Xu Fengling from being taken advantage of and deceived by the scumbag, he patiently and repeatedly advised her.
but……
What he got in return was a cold knife in Xu Fengling's hand.
"I already checked the DNA, and Xu Wang and I have absolutely no blood relation to you, you piece of trash!"
"You've been willing to support us all these years, huh? You must have seen our talent, right?"
"After all, this is the only chance for a piece of trash like you to get in touch with a spiritualist."
"Or perhaps..."
"You have feelings for me? You want to raise me and then make me give myself to you?"
"You're afraid I'll look down on you, you good-for-nothing, so you can't stand to see me doing well, and you're ruining everything I've worked so hard to achieve!"
"I guessed it, didn't I? Heh, you lower-class man..."
Xu Fengling had gone mad; she even pulled the knife out of Xu An's stomach and stabbed him several more times.
Xu An looked calmly at Xu Fengling in front of him. At this moment, he seemed to no longer feel any pain.
His heart died completely at that moment.
For countless days and nights, he collapsed from exhaustion in the dark and desolate underground ruins. He desperately pushed his body to its limits, just so that his younger siblings could survive.
Xu Fengling and Xu Wang are alive today because he risked his life for them.
After all that effort, this is the outcome.
He had known for a long time that Xu Fengling and Xu Wang were not his parents' biological children.
But over the years, he has always treated her like his own younger brother and sister.
Bang! ...
Xu Fengling slammed the door shut and left.
Before leaving, he also took Xu An's remaining savings.
Despite Xu An's desperate attempt to cover his wound, blood continued to gush out.
As his blood drained away, the cold enveloped him, a feeling akin to falling into an ice cave.
"Humans..."
"hehe……"
"If there really is an afterlife, I... will get better on my own."
"Put aside your desire to help others, respect their fate, haha..."
Xu An gave a bitter smile.
Outside the window.
The streetlights along the road flickered on and off, like an old man in his twilight years, looking unwillingly at the broken world.
"Sizzle... sizzle..."
"A monster attack has occurred in the western suburbs of our city... *sizzle*... *sizzle*..."
"Please be aware of... nighttime travel..."
The loudspeaker on the utility pole emitted a piercing hissing sound.
Xu An's consciousness gradually blurred, and after an unknown amount of time, a strange feeling spread throughout his body.
It felt tingly and numb, like being electrocuted.
...
Not far from the old street, several figures nimbly moved through the night.
After a few jumps, he landed on a rooftop.
The bald leader's eagle-like gaze quickly swept across the surroundings.
A moment later, he pressed a button on the watch.
"I am the night watchman, Bone!"
"Three mutated monsters have been discovered in the western suburbs; two are level three, and one has reached level five!"
"Possesses high intelligence and is highly destructive."
“We have now driven them to the old street and request permission to close it off.”
"It's bald," the man said in a deep voice.
Blocking off the old streets would mean turning this place into a battlefield.
Compared to other densely populated areas such as the city center, this is already the best location.
"allow!"
A moment later, a man's voice came from the other side.
Without the bald man giving an order, the men behind him quickly dispersed and scattered in all directions.
About ten minutes later, a faint light curtain appeared, covering the entire old street.
This light screen is invisible to ordinary people.
