That strange sound grew louder and louder. Upon careful listening, Bai Luoluo realized that the source of the sound seemed to be coming from below the ventilation duct.
Motou was originally lounging on Bai Luoluo’s body, but after the sound appeared, he also stood up abruptly, emitting a threatening growl.
Just as the sound was about to reach the feet of Bai Luoluo, it suddenly disappeared.
However, Motou’s mood remained extremely volatile. He stood in front of Bai Luoluo, his tail stiffly raised, and looked ahead vigilantly into the unknown darkness.
Bai Luoluo took two steps back, taking out the ** that Li Guanshan had given him from his pocket. But as soon as he made this move, there was a loud noise in front of him. The spot where he had just been standing suddenly spewed out a pile of huge chunks of flesh, separating him and Motou instantly.
“Damn it!” Bai Luoluo was startled and couldn’t help but curse.
Although the chunks of flesh appeared very bulky, they were actually quite agile in their movements. They lunged towards Bai Luoluo.
Bai Luoluo rolled to the right to avoid the attack of the chunks of flesh.
Motou wanted to breathe out flames, but he seemed to consider the ventilation duct too narrow and was afraid of hurting Bai Luoluo, so he had not opened his mouth all along.
Seeing this scene, the system rolled up its sleeves and said, “Don’t worry, I got this!”
Bai Luoluo couldn’t help but laugh and cry, saying, “Alright, go for it.”
With the system controlling Bai Luoluo’s body, he dodged more agilely. However, given the narrowness of the ventilation duct, he could only keep retreating to barely avoid the attacks of the chunks of flesh.
The chunks of flesh continued to spread in the ventilation duct, forcing Bai Luoluo to keep retreating.
The system said, “There’s an exit ahead that leads down. Li Guanshan and Li Qianqian shouldn’t be far from here. Let’s go down first and then figure out our next move.”
Bai Luoluo nodded.
He quickly ran to the exit and jumped down. It was pitch black below, but the chunks of flesh were right in front of him. He didn’t have time to hesitate. He bit his teeth and jumped down.
But as soon as he landed, he felt something was wrong. The feeling under his feet was too soft—it was like stepping on chunks of flesh.
Bai Luoluo’s face changed slightly. He turned around and tried to climb back up the ventilation duct with the help of the wall’s force, but his actions seemed too late. The chunks of flesh on the ground quickly wrapped around his feet and dragged him down forcibly.
Bai Luoluo’s ** plunged heavily into the chunks of flesh that wrapped around his feet. Just as he freed one foot, his hand was caught again. Before he could call for help, he was dragged down onto the chunks of flesh and swiftly carried away.
Motou’s roar echoed from afar. Before Bai Luoluo passed out, he seemed to faintly see a sudden burst of firelight in the corridor.
Several hours later, Bai Luoluo was awakened by the sound of the system cracking melon seeds.
The system said, “You’re awake—your child is off to college—”
Bai Luoluo coughed a few times and found himself hanging upside down by his feet, with his hands tied behind his back. Around him was an endless darkness, and in the darkness, a familiar sound rustled around him.
Bai Luoluo asked, “Where am I?”
The system said, “Well, you’re in Meaty’s nest.”
Bai Luoluo thought to himself, “Can’t you give the monster a less cute name like ‘Meaty’?”. He asked, “Are all the chunks of flesh around here?”
The system said, “Yes.”
Bai Luoluo asked, “So why didn’t he kill me after tying me up?”
The system said, “I’m afraid you’ll want to end yourself after hearing it.”
Bai Luoluo said, “Just spit it out!”
The system said, “Let me explain it to you. The way they reproduce now is a bit like ants. There’s a role of a queen, but right now, their queen seems to be sick, so they need a new one.”
Bai Luoluo: “But I’m male.”
The system said, “Don’t worry, they don’t discriminate based on gender. They catch males and females alike.”
Bai Luoluo was speechless.
He scratched his head and said, “So they caught me to have babies?”
The system said, “That’s right, that’s about the gist of it.” His tone was very solemn, probably even more so if he wasn’t cracking sunflower seeds while talking.
Suddenly, a faint light lit up in front of Bai Luoluo. At first, he thought it was Li Qianqian and Li Guanshan, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was a light above his head that had suddenly turned on. This dim light allowed Bai Luoluo to barely see the scene around him.
If he could, he’d rather not see anything at all.
Around him were countless dangling chunks of flesh, wriggling incessantly. Bai Luoluo could vaguely see creatures within the chunks, the same kind of monsters that had attacked them from outside. But their current state was more like a formative stage, gradually growing from juveniles into fully formed beasts.
There were no young beasts around Bai Luoluo; he seemed to be treated differently.
“Why is the light on?” Bai Luoluo asked.
The system calmly said, “They want you to see clearly?”
“…You better go back to cracking your seeds,” Bai Luoluo replied.
Bai Luoluo’s question was soon answered. The air in front of him suddenly distorted, resembling the heat shimmering from high temperatures. Moments later, within the distorted air in front of Bai Luoluo, a human figure appeared – this figure was identical to Li Guanshan.
Bai Luoluo’s expression turned pale.
“Hello.” The creature, nearly identical to Li Guanshan, greeted Bai Luoluo with a smile, even his voice was identical to Li Guanshan’s.
Bai Luoluo forced a smile. “Hello.”
“We need you,” he said. “Hope you can stay.”
Bai Luoluo thought he was being overly polite. Even if I don’t stay, can you let me go?
The creature walked up to Bai Luoluo, reaching out to touch his cheek. His fingertips were ice-cold, like the piercing cold of winter snow, saying, “So soft, so warm…”
Bai Luoluo: “…”
“Do you want to stay?” the creature asked.
Bai Luoluo replied, “And if I say I don’t want to?”
The creature slowly said, “Then I’ll make you want to.”
Bai Luoluo thought, Then why ask me?
The creature tilted his head slightly. Without deliberately imitating Li Guanshan anymore, his expression took on a more innocent tone. He said, “I know what you’re thinking.”
Bai Luoluo asked, “What am I thinking?”
“You’re thinking about when they’ll come to rescue you.”
Bai Luoluo looked at him silently.
The creature smiled brightly, a smile that looked particularly charming with Li Guanshan’s usually cold face. He said, “But unfortunately, they won’t come…”
Bai Luoluo asked, “What have you done to them?!”
The creature seemed somewhat aggrieved. “We were just living quietly here, and yet as soon as you entered, it was all about slaughter. What do you mean by ‘What have I done to you’?”
Bai Luoluo was at a loss for words, realizing he couldn’t refute. His expression turned a bit embarrassed as he said, “Sorry about that.”
“It’s okay.” The creature shrugged, continuing to explain, “They’re so powerful, what could I do? I just told a little lie.”
Bai Luoluo had a bad feeling.
The creature said, “They’ve already found you severely injured.”
Bai Luoluo wasn’t stupid; he almost instantly understood the creature’s meaning. He couldn’t believe it. “Did you make monsters look like me?”
“Yes.”
Bai Luoluo: “…”
The creature said, “Now they’re very anxious, wanting to take you away quickly.” He looked at Bai Luoluo, his eyes full of infatuation, extending his finger to caress Bai Luoluo’s lips, saying, “So comfortable…”
Bai Luoluo tightly closed his lips, saying nothing.
“You’re not afraid?” the creature asked.
Bai Luoluo replied, “I am.”
“Then why aren’t you crying?” He touched Bai Luoluo’s eyes again.
Bai Luoluo said, “If tears could change the facts, then I might cry my eyes out.”
The creature laughed. “You’re really interesting.”
Bai Luoluo smiled bitterly. He said, “So, you’re looking for females to reproduce, right? But I’m male – I don’t have that function.”
The creature said, “It doesn’t matter.” As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes.
It had to be said, he was indeed a master of imitation. Even his muscles and every scar on his body were identical to Li Guanshan’s. Bai Luoluo even had the illusion that the person standing in front of him was Li Guanshan, just joking with himself.
The creature said, “After we mate a few times, your body structure will be changed by me, so you can have many, many children.” He said it seriously, but Bai Luoluo just felt it unbearable to look at him. He wanted to say, “Bro, can you please not talk to me like that with Li Guanshan’s appearance? He looks so unreal.”
Bai Luoluo simply closed his mouth.
The creature made a gesture, and the chunks of flesh that had been hanging Bai Luoluo slowly let him down. Bai Luoluo finally didn’t have to endure the blood rush to his head.
The creature walked up to Bai Luoluo, staring at him with a look of joy, which was like a child looking at his candy. Surprisingly, there was no trace of malice in his expression; instead, it was pure innocence.
In fact, if the person in front of Bai Luoluo wasn’t a monster, he would have found him even cuter than Li Guanshan himself…
But unfortunately, Bai Luoluo was surrounded by wriggling chunks of flesh, and he couldn’t really force a smile.
“They’ve left, let’s begin,” the creature said.
As he finished speaking, he reached out and held Bai Luoluo down.
Bai Luoluo exclaimed, “Damn, damn it—System!!! Help!!!”
The system said sadly, “I can’t save you, my friend. Go in peace.”
Bai Luoluo almost wanted to cry like Li Qianqian.
The creature effortlessly tore off Bai Luoluo’s upper clothing, causing Bai Luoluo to shudder involuntarily.
“Don’t be afraid, I can control the temperature. I won’t freeze you,” the creature said.
Bai Luoluo thought to himself, I’d rather be frozen to death.
Just as he was about to continue, his expression suddenly changed, and he angrily said, “I’ve been deceived!”
Bai Luoluo said, “Exactly, exactly, look, I have no chest!”
The creature looked helpless. He had mastered every human expression so well that even Bai Luoluo could see the indulgence in his expression. He said, “I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about your friends…”
Bai Luoluo: “…” Oh, so infuriating.
The creature said, “They’re coming.”
As he spoke, flames lit up in the darkness behind him. Bai Luoluo, who had been stripped naked, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The creature turned around expressionlessly.
Li Qianqian held a torch and loudly called Bai Luoluo’s name. But when she saw the creature in front of her, who was completely naked and identical to Li Guanshan, she showed a shocked expression and said, “Bro, how did you get here so fast? Damn, what are you going to do to the cute water source?”
Bai Luoluo: “…Li Qianqian, that’s not your brother!”
Upon hearing Bai Luoluo’s words, Li Qianqian made a face. Bai Luoluo couldn’t tell if the expression was one of excitement or disappointment; it was quite complex, and it was the kind of expression that would definitely get him punched if Li Guanshan saw it.
Li Qianqian said, “Oh, it’s not him, that’s great.”
Bai Luoluo: “…” I can’t hear a trace of sincerity in your tone, not a trace.
Li Qianqian said, “Water source, this monster didn’t do anything to you, right?” She quickly approached and saw Bai Luoluo’s upper body stripped.
Bai Luoluo said, “No.”
Li Qianqian warned, “I’m warning you, stay away from the water source, or I’ll burn down your lair.”
The creature sneered and said, “Since you’re here too, let’s not leave.” With a wave of his hand, the chunks of flesh around them instantly started wriggling, and Bai Luoluo felt the chunks that bound him start dragging him deeper into the darkness.
Li Qianqian angrily said, “Courting death.” She summoned the sonic whip she had used before and lashed out at the creature.
The creature easily dodged Li Qianqian’s attack.
Li Qianqian said, “Hey.”
The creature raised an eyebrow.
Li Qianqian’s face turned red, and she said in a rough voice, “Could you please put some clothes on? It’s really annoying to see my brother’s naked body jumping around in front of me.”
Hearing Li Qianqian’s words, Bai Luoluo almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.
The creature fell silent for three seconds, then actually put on clothes.
Even Li Qianqian, who was thick-skinned, thanked him and said, “Thank you.”
The creature replied, “You’re welcome.”
The two of them resumed their fight.
This was the creature’s lair, and he could easily manipulate the chunks of flesh to attack Li Qianqian. And because she had to consider whether she would hurt Bai Luoluo, Li Qianqian didn’t dare to use large-scale sonic attacks. She was at a disadvantage for a while.
Just as Bai Luoluo was about to be dragged into the darkness again, two other figures appeared at the door.
Before Bai Luoluo could react, he saw a dark figure running and jumping in mid-air, quickly appearing in front of him.
“Motou!” Bai Luoluo exclaimed.
Motou bit off the chunks of flesh that bound Bai Luoluo’s hands and feet, freeing him.
Bai Luoluo quickly got up from the ground, and Motou was extremely excited. He stood up straight, and his claws rested on Bai Luoluo’s shoulders. Standing up, Motou was even taller than Bai Luoluo.
“Good boy, good boy…” Bai Luoluo rubbed his furry chin. Motou whimpered, feeling guilty and anxious, infecting Bai Luoluo with his emotions.
After soothing him for a while, Bai Luoluo looked towards the three confronting figures.
“Water Source—Are you okay?” Li Qianqian’s voice came from afar.
“I’m fine!” Bai Luoluo said as he slowly walked over to them.
“Motou,” Li Guanshan said, “you go protect the Water Source. I’ll handle the rest.”
The creature’s expression also turned cold.
Seeing that a major battle was about to break out, Bai Luoluo hesitated and spoke up, saying, “Well… They’re also intelligent beings, and it seems they haven’t affected human survival in the wasteland…”
Li Guanshan glanced at Bai Luoluo and said, “He’s the one who brought you here. Are you sure you want to be soft-hearted?”
Bai Luoluo said, “I’m not being soft-hearted, I’m just thinking, are they also created by humans…”
The three of them looked at the creature.
There was no doubt that if the creature faced Li Qianqian alone, he might still have a chance, but now with the addition of Li Guanshan, who had fire abilities, he had no chance at all.
As the creature listened to Bai Luoluo’s words, he smiled. Although he looked exactly like Li Guanshan, their temperaments were vastly different. If the creature’s temperament was like warm spring, then Li Guanshan was like a cold winter.
The creature said, “You created me.” He spread his hands and looked around, saying, “More accurately, you created all of this.”
Whether it was the ferocious creature, the female beasts resembling rotten flesh, or even him with intelligence, they were all products of humans. It was just a pity that the humans who created all of this became afraid and hastily fled, leaving him forever trapped in darkness.
Li Guanshan’s expression had always been cold. Upon hearing what the creature said, he unexpectedly nodded slowly in approval.
Bai Luoluo thought he would at least try to persuade Li Guanshan, but he didn’t expect Li Guanshan to agree so easily.
Li Qianqian said, “Hey, don’t be so surprised. In fact, my brother is a very kind person with a soft heart.”
Li Guanshan glared at Li Qianqian menacingly.
Li Qianqian immediately made a gesture of zipping her mouth shut.
“Don’t turn into me, it’s disgusting to see,” Li Guanshan said.
The creature shrugged. After his figure twisted, he actually turned into… Bai Luoluo’s appearance.
Bai Luoluo looked at him in dismay, thinking, Are you trying to bully me by imitating me?
Li Guanshan said, “This time we can let you go, and we can even keep your existence a secret. But if you do anything to harm humans, I can’t guarantee what will happen.”
The creature nodded.
“Let’s go.” Li Guanshan seemed eager to leave and spoke up to depart.
Li Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke up.
“What’s wrong?” Li Guanshan asked.
Li Qianqian grinned and then, with a thick skin, looked at the creature and said, “Um, do you have any useless scrap metal here that you could give me?”
Everyone: “…”
The creature remained silent for a moment, then smiled. He said, “You’re quite straightforward.” With a snap of his fingers, the squirming chunks of flesh brought a small iron block in front of Li Qianqian after a while.
Li Qianqian picked up the iron block and asked curiously, “What is this?”
“It’s a musical instrument,” the creature said. “The people who created me used to play it for me frequently.”
Li Qianqian touched it and found that the instrument was very well preserved, with no signs of rust or corrosion.
“Is this really for me?” Li Qianqian felt a bit embarrassed to accept it; she felt it was very precious.
“Yes, take it,” the creature waved his hand and said, “It’s useless now.”
Li Qianqian then put it in her bag.
“After turning right outside, there’s an elevator that leads directly to the first floor. I won’t accompany you any further.” With that, he turned and walked into the darkness.
Unexpectedly, a major battle was easily resolved, and Li Qianqian even got a little trinket. However, Li Guanshan’s expression wasn’t very good, and it remained dark until they left the base.
Bai Luoluo’s shirt was torn, and Li Guanshan and Li Qianqian each gave him one of theirs to wear, but even so, he was still shivering from the cold.
Perhaps afraid that he would get too cold, after reaching the surface, Li Guanshan directly picked him up and flew back to the aircraft at a rapid speed.
Once on board the aircraft, the heating was turned on, and Bai Luoluo finally felt much better. Motou was afraid he would be cold, so he lay beside him, using his soft belly to keep Bai Luoluo warm.
After sitting down in the aircraft, Li Qianqian couldn’t help but speak up, saying, “Brother, why were you so easy-going today?”
Li Guanshan sneered and said, “You think that thing is easy to deal with?”
Li Qianqian asked, “What do you mean?”
Li Guanshan said, “In the place we were in, all around was buried with high-explosive bombs.”
Li Qianqian: “…”
Li Guanshan said, “We might be able to escape, but what about Jiang Shuiyuan?”
Li Qianqian hadn’t thought of this at all, and Bai Luoluo was also stunned. They both naively thought that they had reached a peace agreement with the creature, not knowing there was more to it.
“He deliberately let me find out,” Li Guanshan sneered. “You guys really thought he was such a pure creature.”
Li Qianqian scratched her head and muttered, “Well, there’s not a single good thing.”
Li Guanshan said, “Li Qianqian, you’ve got guts too, actually daring to ask him for things—”
Li Qianqian chuckled awkwardly, “I didn’t know, right. By the way, Shuiyuan, can you identify what this is?” She took out the little instrument from her pocket.
Bai Luoluo took it and examined it, saying, “It’s a harmonica.”
Li Qianqian’s eyes lit up, “Can you play it?”
Bai Luoluo nodded, but requested that they clean it first before he used it.
Li Qianqian looked eager, urging Li Guanshan to fly the aircraft faster.
That strange sound grew louder and louder. Upon careful listening, Bai Luoluo realized that the source of the sound seemed to be coming from below the ventilation duct.
Motou was originally lounging on Bai Luoluo’s body, but after the sound appeared, he also stood up abruptly, emitting a threatening growl.
Just as the sound was about to reach the feet of Bai Luoluo, it suddenly disappeared.
However, Motou’s mood remained extremely volatile. He stood in front of Bai Luoluo, his tail stiffly raised, and looked ahead vigilantly into the unknown darkness.
Bai Luoluo took two steps back, taking out the ** that Li Guanshan had given him from his pocket. But as soon as he made this move, there was a loud noise in front of him. The spot where he had just been standing suddenly spewed out a pile of huge chunks of flesh, separating him and Motou instantly.
“Damn it!” Bai Luoluo was startled and couldn’t help but curse.
Although the chunks of flesh appeared very bulky, they were actually quite agile in their movements. They lunged towards Bai Luoluo.
Bai Luoluo rolled to the right to avoid the attack of the chunks of flesh.
Motou wanted to breathe out flames, but he seemed to consider the ventilation duct too narrow and was afraid of hurting Bai Luoluo, so he had not opened his mouth all along.
Seeing this scene, the system rolled up its sleeves and said, “Don’t worry, I got this!”
Bai Luoluo couldn’t help but laugh and cry, saying, “Alright, go for it.”
With the system controlling Bai Luoluo’s body, he dodged more agilely. However, given the narrowness of the ventilation duct, he could only keep retreating to barely avoid the attacks of the chunks of flesh.
The chunks of flesh continued to spread in the ventilation duct, forcing Bai Luoluo to keep retreating.
The system said, “There’s an exit ahead that leads down. Li Guanshan and Li Qianqian shouldn’t be far from here. Let’s go down first and then figure out our next move.”
Bai Luoluo nodded.
He quickly ran to the exit and jumped down. It was pitch black below, but the chunks of flesh were right in front of him. He didn’t have time to hesitate. He bit his teeth and jumped down.
But as soon as he landed, he felt something was wrong. The feeling under his feet was too soft—it was like stepping on chunks of flesh.
Bai Luoluo’s face changed slightly. He turned around and tried to climb back up the ventilation duct with the help of the wall’s force, but his actions seemed too late. The chunks of flesh on the ground quickly wrapped around his feet and dragged him down forcibly.
Bai Luoluo’s ** plunged heavily into the chunks of flesh that wrapped around his feet. Just as he freed one foot, his hand was caught again. Before he could call for help, he was dragged down onto the chunks of flesh and swiftly carried away.
Motou’s roar echoed from afar. Before Bai Luoluo passed out, he seemed to faintly see a sudden burst of firelight in the corridor.
Several hours later, Bai Luoluo was awakened by the sound of the system cracking melon seeds.
The system said, “You’re awake—your child is off to college—”
Bai Luoluo coughed a few times and found himself hanging upside down by his feet, with his hands tied behind his back. Around him was an endless darkness, and in the darkness, a familiar sound rustled around him.
Bai Luoluo asked, “Where am I?”
The system said, “Well, you’re in Meaty’s nest.”
Bai Luoluo thought to himself, “Can’t you give the monster a less cute name like ‘Meaty’?”. He asked, “Are all the chunks of flesh around here?”
The system said, “Yes.”
Bai Luoluo asked, “So why didn’t he kill me after tying me up?”
The system said, “I’m afraid you’ll want to end yourself after hearing it.”
Bai Luoluo said, “Just spit it out!”
The system said, “Let me explain it to you. The way they reproduce now is a bit like ants. There’s a role of a queen, but right now, their queen seems to be sick, so they need a new one.”
Bai Luoluo: “But I’m male.”
The system said, “Don’t worry, they don’t discriminate based on gender. They catch males and females alike.”
Bai Luoluo was speechless.
He scratched his head and said, “So they caught me to have babies?”
The system said, “That’s right, that’s about the gist of it.” His tone was very solemn, probably even more so if he wasn’t cracking sunflower seeds while talking.
Suddenly, a faint light lit up in front of Bai Luoluo. At first, he thought it was Li Qianqian and Li Guanshan, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was a light above his head that had suddenly turned on. This dim light allowed Bai Luoluo to barely see the scene around him.
If he could, he’d rather not see anything at all.
Around him were countless dangling chunks of flesh, wriggling incessantly. Bai Luoluo could vaguely see creatures within the chunks, the same kind of monsters that had attacked them from outside. But their current state was more like a formative stage, gradually growing from juveniles into fully formed beasts.
There were no young beasts around Bai Luoluo; he seemed to be treated differently.
“Why is the light on?” Bai Luoluo asked.
The system calmly said, “They want you to see clearly?”
“…You better go back to cracking your seeds,” Bai Luoluo replied.
Bai Luoluo’s question was soon answered. The air in front of him suddenly distorted, resembling the heat shimmering from high temperatures. Moments later, within the distorted air in front of Bai Luoluo, a human figure appeared – this figure was identical to Li Guanshan.
Bai Luoluo’s expression turned pale.
“Hello.” The creature, nearly identical to Li Guanshan, greeted Bai Luoluo with a smile, even his voice was identical to Li Guanshan’s.
Bai Luoluo forced a smile. “Hello.”
“We need you,” he said. “Hope you can stay.”
Bai Luoluo thought he was being overly polite. Even if I don’t stay, can you let me go?
The creature walked up to Bai Luoluo, reaching out to touch his cheek. His fingertips were ice-cold, like the piercing cold of winter snow, saying, “So soft, so warm…”
Bai Luoluo: “…”
“Do you want to stay?” the creature asked.
Bai Luoluo replied, “And if I say I don’t want to?”
The creature slowly said, “Then I’ll make you want to.”
Bai Luoluo thought, Then why ask me?
The creature tilted his head slightly. Without deliberately imitating Li Guanshan anymore, his expression took on a more innocent tone. He said, “I know what you’re thinking.”

“You’re thinking about when they’ll come to rescue you.”
Bai Luoluo looked at him silently.
The creature smiled brightly, a smile that looked particularly charming with Li Guanshan’s usually cold face. He said, “But unfortunately, they won’t come…”
Bai Luoluo asked, “What have you done to them?!”
The creature seemed somewhat aggrieved. “We were just living quietly here, and yet as soon as you entered, it was all about slaughter. What do you mean by ‘What have I done to you’?”
Bai Luoluo was at a loss for words, realizing he couldn’t refute. His expression turned a bit embarrassed as he said, “Sorry about that.”
“It’s okay.” The creature shrugged, continuing to explain, “They’re so powerful, what could I do? I just told a little lie.”
Bai Luoluo had a bad feeling.
The creature said, “They’ve already found you severely injured.”
Bai Luoluo wasn’t stupid; he almost instantly understood the creature’s meaning. He couldn’t believe it. “Did you make monsters look like me?”
“Yes.”
Bai Luoluo: “…”
The creature said, “Now they’re very anxious, wanting to take you away quickly.” He looked at Bai Luoluo, his eyes full of infatuation, extending his finger to caress Bai Luoluo’s lips, saying, “So comfortable…”
Bai Luoluo tightly closed his lips, saying nothing.
“You’re not afraid?” the creature asked.
Bai Luoluo replied, “I am.”
“Then why aren’t you crying?” He touched Bai Luoluo’s eyes again.
Bai Luoluo said, “If tears could change the facts, then I might cry my eyes out.”
The creature laughed. “You’re really interesting.”
Bai Luoluo smiled bitterly. He said, “So, you’re looking for females to reproduce, right? But I’m male – I don’t have that function.”
The creature said, “It doesn’t matter.” As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes.
It had to be said, he was indeed a master of imitation. Even his muscles and every scar on his body were identical to Li Guanshan’s. Bai Luoluo even had the illusion that the person standing in front of him was Li Guanshan, just joking with himself.

He wanted to say, “Bro, can you please not talk to me like that with Li Guanshan’s appearance? He looks so unreal.”
Bai Luoluo simply closed his mouth.

In fact, if the person in front of Bai Luoluo wasn’t a monster, he would have found him even cuter than Li Guanshan himself…
But unfortunately, Bai Luoluo was surrounded by wriggling chunks of flesh, and he couldn’t really force a smile.
“They’ve left, let’s begin,” the creature said.
As he finished speaking, he reached out and held Bai Luoluo down.
Bai Luoluo exclaimed, “Damn, damn it—System!!! Help!!!”
The system said sadly, “I can’t save you, my friend. Go in peace.”
Bai Luoluo almost wanted to cry like Li Qianqian.
The creature effortlessly tore off Bai Luoluo’s upper clothing, causing Bai Luoluo to shudder involuntarily.
“Don’t be afraid, I can control the temperature. I won’t freeze you,” the creature said.
Bai Luoluo thought to himself, I’d rather be frozen to death.
Just as he was about to continue, his expression suddenly changed, and he angrily said, “I’ve been deceived!”
Bai Luoluo said, “Exactly, exactly, look, I have no chest!”
The creature looked helpless. He had mastered every human expression so well that even Bai Luoluo could see the indulgence in his expression. He said, “I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about your friends…”
Bai Luoluo: “…” Oh, so infuriating.
The creature said, “They’re coming.”
As he spoke, flames lit up in the darkness behind him. Bai Luoluo, who had been stripped naked, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The creature turned around expressionlessly.
Li Qianqian held a torch and loudly called Bai Luoluo’s name. But when she saw the creature in front of her, who was completely naked and identical to Li Guanshan, she showed a shocked expression and said, “Bro, how did you get here so fast? Damn, what are you going to do to the cute water source?”
Bai Luoluo: “…Li Qianqian, that’s not your brother!”
Upon hearing Bai Luoluo’s words, Li Qianqian made a face. Bai Luoluo couldn’t tell if the expression was one of excitement or disappointment; it was quite complex, and it was the kind of expression that would definitely get him punched if Li Guanshan saw it.
Li Qianqian said, “Oh, it’s not him, that’s great.”
Bai Luoluo: “…” I can’t hear a trace of sincerity in your tone, not a trace.
Li Qianqian said, “Water source, this monster didn’t do anything to you, right?” She quickly approached and saw Bai Luoluo’s upper body stripped.
Bai Luoluo said, “No.”
Li Qianqian warned, “I’m warning you, stay away from the water source, or I’ll burn down your lair.”
The creature sneered and said, “Since you’re here too, let’s not leave.” With a wave of his hand, the chunks of flesh around them instantly started wriggling, and Bai Luoluo felt the chunks that bound him start dragging him deeper into the darkness.
Li Qianqian angrily said, “Courting death.” She summoned the sonic whip she had used before and lashed out at the creature.
The creature easily dodged Li Qianqian’s attack.
Li Qianqian said, “Hey.”
The creature raised an eyebrow.
Li Qianqian’s face turned red, and she said in a rough voice, “Could you please put some clothes on? It’s really annoying to see my brother’s naked body jumping around in front of me.”
Hearing Li Qianqian’s words, Bai Luoluo almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.
The creature fell silent for three seconds, then actually put on clothes.
Even Li Qianqian, who was thick-skinned, thanked him and said, “Thank you.”
The creature replied, “You’re welcome.”
The two of them resumed their fight.
This was the creature’s lair, and he could easily manipulate the chunks of flesh to attack Li Qianqian. And because she had to consider whether she would hurt Bai Luoluo, Li Qianqian didn’t dare to use large-scale sonic attacks. She was at a disadvantage for a while.
Just as Bai Luoluo was about to be dragged into the darkness again, two other figures appeared at the door.
Before Bai Luoluo could react, he saw a dark figure running and jumping in mid-air, quickly appearing in front of him.
“Motou!” Bai Luoluo exclaimed.
Motou bit off the chunks of flesh that bound Bai Luoluo’s hands and feet, freeing him.
Bai Luoluo quickly got up from the ground, and Motou was extremely excited. He stood up straight, and his claws rested on Bai Luoluo’s shoulders. Standing up, Motou was even taller than Bai Luoluo.
“Good boy, good boy…” Bai Luoluo rubbed his furry chin. Motou whimpered, feeling guilty and anxious, infecting Bai Luoluo with his emotions.
After soothing him for a while, Bai Luoluo looked towards the three confronting figures.
“Water Source—Are you okay?” Li Qianqian’s voice came from afar.
“I’m fine!” Bai Luoluo said as he slowly walked over to them.
“Motou,” Li Guanshan said, “you go protect the Water Source. I’ll handle the rest.”
The creature’s expression also turned cold.
Seeing that a major battle was about to break out, Bai Luoluo hesitated and spoke up, saying, “Well… They’re also intelligent beings, and it seems they haven’t affected human survival in the wasteland…”
Li Guanshan glanced at Bai Luoluo and said, “He’s the one who brought you here. Are you sure you want to be soft-hearted?”
Bai Luoluo said, “I’m not being soft-hearted, I’m just thinking, are they also created by humans…”
The three of them looked at the creature.
There was no doubt that if the creature faced Li Qianqian alone, he might still have a chance, but now with the addition of Li Guanshan, who had fire abilities, he had no chance at all.
As the creature listened to Bai Luoluo’s words, he smiled. Although he looked exactly like Li Guanshan, their temperaments were vastly different. If the creature’s temperament was like warm spring, then Li Guanshan was like a cold winter.
The creature said, “You created me.” He spread his hands and looked around, saying, “More accurately, you created all of this.”
Whether it was the ferocious creature, the female beasts resembling rotten flesh, or even him with intelligence, they were all products of humans. It was just a pity that the humans who created all of this became afraid and hastily fled, leaving him forever trapped in darkness.
Li Guanshan’s expression had always been cold. Upon hearing what the creature said, he unexpectedly nodded slowly in approval.
Bai Luoluo thought he would at least try to persuade Li Guanshan, but he didn’t expect Li Guanshan to agree so easily.
Li Qianqian said, “Hey, don’t be so surprised. In fact, my brother is a very kind person with a soft heart.”
Li Guanshan glared at Li Qianqian menacingly.
Li Qianqian immediately made a gesture of zipping her mouth shut.
“Don’t turn into me, it’s disgusting to see,” Li Guanshan said.
The creature shrugged. After his figure twisted, he actually turned into… Bai Luoluo’s appearance.
Bai Luoluo looked at him in dismay, thinking, Are you trying to bully me by imitating me?
Li Guanshan said, “This time we can let you go, and we can even keep your existence a secret. But if you do anything to harm humans, I can’t guarantee what will happen.”
The creature nodded.
“Let’s go.” Li Guanshan seemed eager to leave and spoke up to depart.
Li Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke up.
“What’s wrong?” Li Guanshan asked.
Li Qianqian grinned and then, with a thick skin, looked at the creature and said, “Um, do you have any useless scrap metal here that you could give me?”
Everyone: “…”
The creature remained silent for a moment, then smiled. He said, “You’re quite straightforward.” With a snap of his fingers, the squirming chunks of flesh brought a small iron block in front of Li Qianqian after a while.
Li Qianqian picked up the iron block and asked curiously, “What is this?”
“It’s a musical instrument,” the creature said. “The people who created me used to play it for me frequently.”
Li Qianqian touched it and found that the instrument was very well preserved, with no signs of rust or corrosion.
“Is this really for me?” Li Qianqian felt a bit embarrassed to accept it; she felt it was very precious.
“Yes, take it,” the creature waved his hand and said, “It’s useless now.”
Li Qianqian then put it in her bag.
“After turning right outside, there’s an elevator that leads directly to the first floor. I won’t accompany you any further.” With that, he turned and walked into the darkness.
Unexpectedly, a major battle was easily resolved, and Li Qianqian even got a little trinket. However, Li Guanshan’s expression wasn’t very good, and it remained dark until they left the base.
Bai Luoluo’s shirt was torn, and Li Guanshan and Li Qianqian each gave him one of theirs to wear, but even so, he was still shivering from the cold.
Perhaps afraid that he would get too cold, after reaching the surface, Li Guanshan directly picked him up and flew back to the aircraft at a rapid speed.
Once on board the aircraft, the heating was turned on, and Bai Luoluo finally felt much better. Motou was afraid he would be cold, so he lay beside him, using his soft belly to keep Bai Luoluo warm.
After sitting down in the aircraft, Li Qianqian couldn’t help but speak up, saying, “Brother, why were you so easy-going today?”
Li Guanshan sneered and said, “You think that thing is easy to deal with?”
Li Qianqian asked, “What do you mean?”
Li Guanshan said, “In the place we were in, all around was buried with high-explosive bombs.”
Li Qianqian: “…”
Li Guanshan said, “We might be able to escape, but what about Jiang Shuiyuan?”
Li Qianqian hadn’t thought of this at all, and Bai Luoluo was also stunned. They both naively thought that they had reached a peace agreement with the creature, not knowing there was more to it.
“He deliberately let me find out,” Li Guanshan sneered. “You guys really thought he was such a pure creature.”
Li Qianqian scratched her head and muttered, “Well, there’s not a single good thing.”
Li Guanshan said, “Li Qianqian, you’ve got guts too, actually daring to ask him for things—”
Li Qianqian chuckled awkwardly, “I didn’t know, right. By the way, Shuiyuan, can you identify what this is?” She took out the little instrument from her pocket.
Bai Luoluo took it and examined it, saying, “It’s a harmonica.”
Li Qianqian’s eyes lit up, “Can you play it?”
Bai Luoluo nodded, but requested that they clean it first before he used it.
Li Qianqian looked eager, urging Li Guanshan to fly the aircraft faster.
