Han Zi, who had just finished training, suddenly heard an alarm in the safe zone. Before he could figure out what was going on, the instructor asked them to assemble urgently.
A group of talented teenagers who were still confused were quickly stuffed into an underground shelter by their instructors.
However, such a shelter could not be preserved due to the invasion of alien species.
Fortunately, they were not wiped out at once. Although the alien species destroyed the top, they did not rush in. They only suffered minor injuries.
After Han Zi crawled out, what he saw was the devastated safe zone.
At this point, no one has time to care about them.
When Han Zi saw the scene in front of him, he immediately ran home and only felt relieved when he saw that his house was intact.
The Han family's say in the safe zone is definitely among the top three. Even in this place that cannot be bought with money, they still have a compound large enough for the Han family to live in. It is like a small safe zone within a safe zone.
Pushing open the door, Han Zi frowned slightly when he saw the guard standing there as usual, but his eager concern for his family made him stop paying attention to him.
Han Zi went straight to Li Jiao's room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a woman sitting on the carpet in front of the sofa, calmly eating hawthorn balls. Han Zi murmured, "Mom..."
His heart was beating so hard that it seemed like it was about to burst out.
Li Jiao nodded, then swallowed the hawthorn in her mouth before saying, "Well, how was training today?"
Compared to his crazy father, Han Zi's mother is obviously more reliable.
But his question made Han Zi's body stiffen instantly.
"...I've completed all the tasks assigned by the instructor. I absorbed another crystal core today. At this rate, I can reach the third level in less than half a year..."
Han Zi had a lot to say, and he kept talking, not giving Li Jiao any chance to ask questions again.
Until Li Jiao couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted him, "Azi, why hasn't your father come back yet?"
"...He's still busy and will be back soon...soon."
Han Zi spoke very slowly and moved very gently. He hadn't noticed when he sat cross-legged next to Li Jiao.
In the face of Li Jiao's increasingly manic eyes, she hugged him.
"Azi?"
His voice softened slightly, and he looked down at the boy in his arms. He hesitantly stretched out his frosting-covered hand and rubbed Han Zi's head directly.
Han Zi didn't dare to say anything else. He didn't know when his tears had already stained the other person's clothes, but he didn't dare to make any cry.
He was afraid of alarming the person in front of him.
Time passes by every second.
Li Jiao called out again, but this time, he was clearly getting agitated again, his voice revealing a hint of impatience, "Azi?"
"I'm here. I'm here... Mom, I got beaten today..."
"Because, because of what?" Li Jiao's speech became increasingly difficult. His chest began to rise and fall violently, and golden scales slowly appeared on his body. His clothes were torn apart bit by bit.
Han Zi suppressed the sob in his throat. He seemed not to notice the change in the person in front of him and continued, "...because I accidentally dropped the training equipment on the instructor's head."
Li Jiao's voice became increasingly hoarse and torn, but he tried to play it cool. "Oh... Ah Zi? Why hasn't your father come back yet? Why hasn't he come back?"
As he asked questions, his emotions became more and more excited.
"...very quickly, he is very fast..."
Before Han Zi could continue to explain, the other party had already broken down emotionally.
“Why isn’t he here!!!”
As these words fell, Li Jiao's arms had turned into golden dragon claws.
Han Zi was bounced away by the opponent in an instant, hitting the wall with a bang. The severe pain made his face a little distorted.
But he seemed to be unable to feel it, and hurriedly got up from the ground, "...Mom, Dad...Dad will be back soon, very soon. Can you change back?"
Han Zi ran towards Li Jiao, holding his dragon claw tightly, not daring to let go.
Han Zi's face was covered in several scratches from the collision. The bright red blood suddenly woke Han Liaoyan, who had gone mad because of Li Jiao's death. "...Han Zi, it's Daddy's fault for not protecting your mother well."
After looking around, he removed the surrounding illusions, revealing the completely destroyed house.
On the sofa, which was almost unrecognizable from its original appearance, Li Jiao's body, which was cut in half, lay quietly. Beside her, scattered were the red hawthorn balls that Han Liaoyan had just brought back.
"Dad!!!" Han Zi couldn't hold it back any longer and started crying loudly.
As soon as he came back, he saw two mothers, one lying quietly on the sofa, and the other eating hawthorn balls, but she spoke with the voice of her father.
He immediately understood that it was Han Liaoyan who was using an illusion to impersonate Li Jiao.
Han Zi didn't dare to expose the other party. He suppressed his grief and tried to comfort the other party. He had already lost his mother...he didn't want his father to die too.
He knew that after human mutation, men would become irrational aliens due to the death of their partners.
Han Liaoyan didn't say anything else. He knew that his time of consciousness was very short, and his hands had already turned into dragon claws.
He couldn't control his body or his emotions at all.
His lover.
Already dead.
But he was not beside her.
Brother Jiao...
Wait for me...
Just like before...
Han Liaoyan patted Han Zi lightly and pushed him away again, but his eyes remained on Li Jiao's body.
Then the dragon claw pierced straight into his heart.
Blood flowers bloomed at this moment.
Han Zi just stared blankly at his father committing suicide in front of him, and the blood in his body froze.
A golden dragon suddenly rose into the sky, and a hellish alien nest was slowly being constructed by the illusion.
"roar!!!"
Han Liaoyan is not dead.
His dragon claws failed to crush his heart, which had transformed into a dragon body at that moment.
At this time, he has become a parasite.
The human closest to him was Han Zi.
Han Zi did not resist. At this moment, he had not yet recovered from the emotion of losing his parents.
"Azi, get out of the way!!!" Yang Jing's anxious voice came from a distance.
Han Zi subconsciously followed Aunt Jing's instructions and dodged to the side, but the golden dragon's crazy attack did not stop.
Perhaps because of the smell of blood, Han Liaoyan, who had become a parasite, targeted Han Zi. As a fourth-level mutant, with special abilities, there were only a few people in the entire safe zone who could defeat him, not to mention that they also had to deal with other powerful aliens in the safe zone who were slaughtering humans.
Yang Jing was extremely fast. She rushed back without stopping after receiving the news. She had no time to feel sad. When she saw Han Liaoyan was still attacking Han Zi, she dodged and blocked him.
