Chapter 3: Your own ‘label’

After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Ye Lan slowly opened his eyes.

Here again... Haha, I don't know whether it is good news or bad news. The device that contains me has not been upgraded as usual. It seems that this small glass container is enough to hold me.

Haha... Am I 001 so shameless?

After laughing at himself, Ye Lan silently called out in his heart.

"Kitten, are you there?"

As the one who talked to me so much last time and the only one who has talked to me in all these years, Ye Lan is eager to communicate with it.

But this time, there was no response.

As usual, squinting his eyes, Ye Lan suddenly found something unusual.

There seems to be a crack on the container that holds me?

This... These "professionals" should not make such a low-level mistake, right?

He held his breath in the same way, but Ye Lan found that he could hear the sound outside.

Although there was no sound, he could completely identify the difference.

Empty space and closed container.

No one?

Finally found myself harmless compared to 002, just ignore me?

After hesitating for a while, Ye Lan moved tentatively.

Then I found that I still couldn't move. My limbs were completely handcuffed. Moreover, because I didn't know how long it had been since I had taken care of them, the parts connected to me had rusted into a piece. I felt that if I forced myself to open my eyes, I would even tear my skin off.

"This is troublesome..."

It doesn't matter if I don't wake up. These people will either give me nutrient solution or do something else. Anyway, I don't feel hungry. But it's different now. The feeling of hunger fills my whole body, and I'm not mentally normal anymore.

Ye Lan seriously suspected that this time I was awakened by hunger!

"It's difficult..."

He murmured, and his fingers gently stroked his wrist. It's not that there is any solution, but more like an unconscious behavior under a loss.

But at this moment, the handcuffs seemed to soften, and then opened with a click.

Ye Lan was completely stunned. When he lowered his head, he saw that the rust on his hands was falling off.

It was as if his hands were smooth water, making everything around him flow without getting a single drop of dirt on him.

Uh...

Although he didn't understand what happened, Ye Lan was very happy.

I didn't know if he could leave, but at least he could get out of this small piece of land first...the worst that could happen was that he would be caught again.

After confirming that there was no one outside along the cracks again, Ye Lan suddenly turned around and broke the glass.

Amid the noise, he was very nervous.

But in the end, no alarm sounded, and no one came to see what was going on inside.

Ye Lan carefully stepped out of the vessel that had imprisoned him for who knows how many years, and looked at the situation here.

It was undoubtedly a small laboratory, but there were still many daily necessities around...and beds?

"As for that, I am a harmless ordinary person who wakes up once every few decades, and someone has to live here next to me, on duty 24 hours a day? Wouldn't it be better to have more people to look after 002 and 003 with the human resources?"

After complaining, Ye Lan looked around, but his mood became heavier.

Dust, dust fell everywhere.

This doesn't mean anything else. The only thing that can be said is that no one has been here for a long time.

Thinking of what the Spirit Cat said to him when he woke up last time, Ye Lan's heart was very heavy.

This place is probably deserted, but why? It can't be that the 002 anomaly really succeeded in destroying the world...

For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

For him, from just a few words, he knew that he had been in this damn laboratory for no less than a hundred years. All his relatives and friends back then were no longer in the world, and this world no longer had much ties to him.

The happy thing is that after such a long time, he finally got his freedom; the sad thing is, what is the human world like now...

He can feel that except for himself, who is a normal person, all the creatures in this entire containment area are abnormal. Once the containment is broken, even without 002, the entire human society will face a catastrophe that is more terrifying than the doomsday in any science fiction movie!

Looking back at his "home" for who knows how many years, Ye Lan's eyes suddenly condensed.

There is a label in front of his container.

As he looked, the words on it caught Ye Lan's eyes.

[Abnormal 001 - Ye Lan. ]

[Characteristics - No abnormal characteristics, most of the time like ordinary humans, never showed destructiveness. After multiple detections by instruments, it is found that there is abnormal power in its body, and the source has not yet been found. ]

[Containment suggestions - 100 times the dosage of ordinary people's strong tranquilizers and anesthetics, replenished once a month. This anomaly has normal human needs and needs to be supplemented with nutrition on a weekly basis. If there is no external stimulation, it can sleep for a long time. ]

[Abnormal record - 001 abnormal Ye Lan has awakened unreasonably many times during containment. It is recommended to keep at least one person on duty for 24 hours. ]

[Known abnormal abilities - 1. Immortality, no aging, this anomaly has not undergone any changes during the detention. ]

[2. Suspected of having the ability to control thoughts. During the awakening of this anomaly, our researchers made multiple unreasonable reactions before pressing the alarm, and it is not yet certain whether it came from Ye Lan. ]

[3. Item activation――】

Ye Lan was just seeing the item activated, but the related introduction came to an abrupt end. From here on, including the follow-up, all the text was damaged.

While he was wondering, he suddenly thought of something.

Activation... what is that?

He suddenly thought of the handcuffs that he gently touched and then suddenly unlocked, and his expression was strange.

Could it be that he really had some superpowers?

Taking a deep breath, Ye Lan looked at the closed door not far away, but did not open it eagerly, but went to the bedside table in the room to search.

Since he escaped, he must have some self-protection ability, and it is always right to look through the "garbage".

As soon as the drawer was opened, Ye Lan almost stopped breathing.

Gun!

A shiny revolver!

"Fuck..."

Grabbing it without hesitation, Ye Lan licked his lips.

This thing that could only be picked up in the game before, really grasped in his hand, gave him a great sense of unreality.

The perfect luster of the fusion of machinery and power reflected his face.

Compared to all the abnormal and messy things, this thing still gives him a practical sense of security.

All fear comes from insufficient firepower!

After taking a deep breath, Ye Lan finally pushed open the door of his room after hesitating for several minutes.

Then, he was completely frozen in place.

It should be the corridor outside. The whole building was broken into pieces of ruins as if it had experienced an earthquake. Some fragments were floating in the air as if they had lost gravity. Some metal fragments emitted incomprehensible halos, as if... they had come to the imaginary universe.

"Huh..."

The dusty door was pushed open, just like opening a Pandora's box, and countless things that had been silent for a long time slowly woke up here.

Until a figure appeared in front of Ye Lan's eyes... if that could be considered a "person".

The withered and wrinkled skin, gray and suspected acid, and the terrifying creature with limbs as thick as bones walked towards him step by step.

This tm... zombie?

"He!!"

Accompanied by the creature's roar, the creature's head glowed red, and a laser-like ray shone towards Ye Lan.

Under the red light, Ye Lan felt that his entire body and even his thoughts slowed down.

It was also at this time that Ye Lan finally saw what the other person's head looked like.

A... searchlight? ?

Why would a tm person have a searchlight on his head? No, zombies can't do that either, right? ?
