Chapter 5.
Suddenly, the nanosensor detected abnormal fluctuations coming from underground -
It was a hidden Martian "domestication center" where an "unqualified" Venusian was imprisoned.
In the deepest interrogation room, she saw Zhang Ruian leaning against the wall with his head down, his body temperature had dropped to 10;
Her Rui family genetic signature was forcibly tampered with by a Martian instrument, with the surname "Zhang" inserted into it;
The resistance code is engraved on his wrist: "Cherry Blossoms Do Not Offer to Invaders";
He clutched half a moldy dumpling in his palm—testing revealed it was the original Ruijia recipe;

The girl drew a dumpling pattern with blood in the darkness and chuckled:
"I heard that the gods our ancestors are waiting for... love to eat this..."
As chaos descended outside the interrogation room, several Martian guards exchanged glances, and one of them shot a laser rifle through her chest.
