God's Law
Both mutants have deformed horns on their heads, but in addition to the horns, one of them has three heads on its neck. Each head has no braincase, only exposed meningeal tissue, and the deformed horns grow directly on the meningeal soft tissue.
The other one looked as if it had been burned by fire, and it was hideous and terrifying. Its head was covered with fresh, wriggling blood-red granulations, which were at least seventy or eighty centimeters long. Those granulations were entangled with deformed horns, as if they were a living thing.
These two mutants were both two meters tall and huge in size, with sour and smelly mucus dripping from their bodies. Once this mucus is touched, you will be infected with the zombie virus.
Gu Qiuyi's lips were chapped, her face was pale, and her whole body was shaky, but her eyes were firm as she looked at the two mutants in front of her with caution.
Gu Lin fell asleep in his arms, or maybe he fainted from hunger. His little face was red and hot, he had a high fever, and his hands were clenched into fists.
Zaizai’s father is just an ordinary human being, a researcher who studies mutants and the leader of the experimental base.
He and hundreds of his researchers were the first to die in the base, becoming the first victims.
He died before he could develop a cure for the zombie virus.
"Baby, do you want to see your daddy?"
Gu Qiuyi stroked Gu Lin's forehead.
Gu Lin seemed to be dreaming while he was sleeping. No one knew what he was dreaming about, but he opened his mouth and showed a childish smile.
Gu Qiuyi looked at Gu Lin in her arms, her eyes clear and she slowly curled her lips.

When Gu Lin woke up again, he found himself snuggled in his mother's arms and his high fever had subsided.
My mother was leaning against a burnt tree with her eyes closed, probably asleep.
“Woo woo.”
Gu Lin patted his mother's face with his little hands.
My mother's face looked extremely pale, without a trace of blood.
His little hand touched his mother's face, but it felt ice-cold, without any warmth at all.
But little Gu Lin didn't understand all this. When he saw his mother closing her eyes, he just thought she was sleeping.
Gu Lin was no longer hungry at the moment, but he didn't know if he was too hungry. Seeing that his mother never woke up, he snuggled into her arms, closed his eyes, and fell asleep too.
I don’t know how long I slept, but it was already dark and Gu Lin was woken up by the cold.
My mother's embrace was no longer as warm as before, but cold and getting colder. Gu Lin huddled in his mother's arms, his little body trembling from the cold.
“Woo woo…”
Mom, wake up, wake up.
Gu Lin used his furry little head to rub against his mother's face.
But my mother's face became paler and paler, as if covered with a layer of frost, and she never opened her eyes again.
When Gu Lin saw that his mother was unconscious, he didn't understand what death was, but his heart was filled with fear and terror that he himself didn't understand.
At an age when he still didn't understand what death was, he was forced to experience this pain.
Gu Lin couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears, feeling extremely aggrieved and sad.
He couldn't speak before, but at this moment, he cried out "Mom" for the first time.
After calling out "Mom" for the first time, Gu Lin seemed to have learned this "vocabulary".
This was also the first word he uttered.
Gu Lin cried and called for his mother, and his short little hands hugged his mother's body, but his hands were too short and could only rest on top.
Tired of crying, Gu Lin fell asleep again. He was not restful in his sleep, whimpering, his nose was red, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and his long eyelashes were wet.
Not knowing when his mother would wake up, Gu Lin’s stomach started to growl.
Perhaps knowing that crying was useless, Gu Lin stopped crying, but his heart felt sore and he shed a few tears from time to time.
The cub without his mother didn't know where to find food. He couldn't walk and could only crawl on the ground. He had no choice but to snuggle in the arms of his mother who had died long ago.
Mom's body was already cold and without any temperature, and even started to become stiff and hard, so Gu Lin used his small body to keep her warm.
However, his mother's body was too cold. As soon as he hugged her, he retracted his hand because of the cold. But his attachment to his mother gave him courage again.
But the cold once again overwhelmed him.
This happened three times, and Gu Lin seemed to have gotten used to the coldness, and he hugged his mother without hesitation.
“Woo woo.”
Mom is not cold.
Cover up, baby!
Gu Lin was too small to warm his mother's cold body, and he himself was shivering and shaking from the cold.
He remembered that when he was afraid of the cold, his mother would rub her hands together to warm him up. So he rubbed his hands together, just like his mother did before, to warm her hands and face.
But no matter how warm he was, his mother was still cold.
Perhaps he was used to the cold, Gu Lin actually felt that his mother's body was not that cold anymore. He rested his little head on his mother's hand, with two cute little horns on his forehead.
His snow-white little face was now dirty and covered with dust, not as clean as before.
At this moment, there was a crisp "crunch" sound above my head.
Gu Lin's eyes lit up instantly, thinking that his mother had woken up.
“Woo woo…”
Gu Lin raised his head happily and looked at his mother, but found that her eyes were still closed and she had not woken up.
It was just a broken twig that fell on my mother's shoulder.
Gu Lin got up, took the small branch off his mother's shoulder with his little hand, and nudged his mother with his furry head.
No response.
Gu Lin's face was lost, he lowered his eyes in grievance, like an eggplant hit by frost.
When will mom wake up?
Gu Lin curled up in his mother's arms, a small ball. His stomach had long been numb from hunger. He could no longer feel hungry or cold.
Two days passed like this and my mother never woke up again.
Gu Lin was drowsy and spent most of his time sleeping and rarely woke up. Every time I wake up, the first thing I do is to see if my mother is awake.
This big tree, which is so thick that it takes ten people to hug it, has been growing for hundreds or thousands of years, but now only the bare trunk is left.
At some point, a tender bud sprouted in an inconspicuous corner of the dead tree trunk.
Dead trees come back to life in spring, and sweet rains fall.
Gu Lin didn't notice that there were no traces of zombies anymore. The world was eerily quiet. There was no danger, no turmoil, and no smoke of gunpowder.
No mother either.
Gu Lin was so hungry that he was hallucinating. With his eyes half open and half closed, he seemed to see a very tall older brother walking towards him.
The older brother stood in front of him for who knows how long, then he sighed softly, bent down, and picked him and his mother up.
Big brother is so strong!
Gu Lin murmured and felt the warm embrace again.
He thought it was his mother who came back. Before he fainted, he opened his mouth and smiled in his sleep.

Gu Lin woke up again and found himself sleeping on a small bed with a quilt covering him.
The room was warm and tidy, with the small bed next to the big bed, exactly the same as his previous room.
"Woo woo...Mom, Mom..."
Back in the familiar environment, Gu Lin rubbed his eyes with his little hands, climbed up, and kept calling for his mother.
After learning to call mom, Gu Lin would call mom from time to time.
Gu Lin's baby voice startled the boy outside the bedroom. He got up from the sofa and pushed the door open.
Seeing the strange boy in front of him, Gu Lin, who was climbing onto the big bed while calling for his mother, paused for a moment, and looked at the boy with his big eyes, like a little coal ball, with his head raised.
The young man was extremely handsome, wearing casual home clothes. He was looking at the baby on the bed, leaning against the door frame, with a smile of interest in his eyes.
"After lying down for three days and three nights, I finally woke up"
The young man spoke, his voice was very pleasant, "It seems that I wasn't that weak when I was a child."
This is the grown-up Gu Lin...Gu Yuan.
Gu Lin looked at Gu Yuan but didn't recognize him. He then looked around the room but his mother was not there.
His little mouth pouted, he let out a cry and started crying.
Gu Yuan: “…”
Gu Lin stopped crawling and returned to the crib. He sat on the bed with his legs crossed and cried with his eyes closed. He felt extremely aggrieved and cried for his mother.
Hearing Gu Lin calling "Mom", Gu Yuan's expression darkened for a long time and he sighed softly.
He buried his mother and took Gu Lin back to the moving castle.
He traveled back from the future, but was still one step too late and only saw his mother's corpse.
Gu Lin cried until he hiccuped and rubbed his eyes with his little fists.
Gu Yuan sighed: "Little man, don't shed tears easily, don't cry..."
Gu Lin was stunned, his crying paused for a second, and then he cried even harder.
Gu Yuan: “…”
Did he cry so much when he was a child?
No way.
He clearly remembered that he had been a strong person since he was a child and he didn't like to cry, and he rarely shed tears.
This can't be someone pretending.
How could he be a little crybaby?
He looked at Gu Lin. He didn't look like he was pretending. He looked like this when he was a child.
He was still young during this period and his memories were vague. He was indeed not too sure and it was possible that he was just a crybaby.
Gu Yuan looked at the cub who was crying for his mother. Even though the cub was himself, he felt quite a headache.
I don’t know how to coax children. I didn’t know how to coax children when I was a child. It’s unreasonable at this stage.
Gu Lin cried and ruffled his hair with his little hands, then touched his little corners.
He suddenly remembered that he still had his little one, so he quickly used both hands to crawl on the small bed, crawled to the edge of the bed, hid behind the pillow, and then peeked at Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows when he saw his action.
Gu Lin covered his little horns with his hands, fearing that his identity as a little auspicious beast would be exposed and that he would be caught and cooked and eaten as food.
“Woo woo.”
No, I won’t eat it, cub.
Gu Lin's chubby little hands couldn't cover the little corner at all, tears were streaming down his face, and he forgot to cry at this moment.
He missed his mother, but his instinct for survival made him so young that he didn't even think about going with his mother. He was very afraid of being eaten.
He still thinks his mother is just asleep, but when will she wake up? Where is she going?
Mom, my cub is going to be eaten.
Woo woo woo…
Gu Lin's tears were falling, but he didn't dare to cry out loud. The little pink ball looked so aggrieved and pitiful, it was really heartbreaking.
But Gu Yuan just had a headache.
He looked at Gu Lin for a while, and since he didn't know how to coax him, he simply gave up.
He turned and walked out of the bedroom and closed the door. The kid would stop crying naturally when he was tired of crying, so there was no need for him to comfort him.
Besides, he's grown up now, so he won't die from crying anyway.
