mother of all races

Lin Xi was already mentally prepared before opening the cabin door—he had a premonition that the cabin he lived in before would probably be as dilapidated as the ruins he had passed before, full of debris of various materials and twisted and broken ground. The metal bracket, and maybe even worse, the cabin may have been melted and damaged in the previous explosion.

Lin Xi had many ideas, but he never imagined that he would face the current situation.

His former living cabin turned out to be... empty.

It's "empty" in the literal sense.

There are no remnants of life here, no fragments of synthetic material, no broken furniture, in fact, there is nothing here.Lin Xi walked into the living cabin where she had spent countless days and nights in shock.

It wasn't luxurious and cozy here before, but it was his dwelling after all. Lin Xi could never imagine that this place would become like this one day. During Lin Xi's investigation, he found that even the walls were used to cover the The metal panels of the pipes are gone, and the synthetic material on the floor has been completely lifted and removed for unknown reasons.Not to mention finding some clues about his amnesia, even the traces of humans living here have completely disappeared.

Lin Xi stood in his cabin in a daze, feeling like an empty tin box.

He even had to go back outside the cabin door and stand on the sloping corridor to look at the house number to make sure he was in the right place.

However, after repeated inspections, Lin Xi finally had to admit that this was indeed the place where he used to live.

It's just changed beyond recognition.

"Well, that's a little... surprising."

Lin Xi's heart was beating fast, he murmured to himself.

As a comparison, Lin Xi opened several cabins next to him. Those cabins were as desolate and messy as he imagined. Because of the deformation of the door frame, Lin Xi even had to violently dismantle some cabin doors. .

The cabin next door to Lin Xi looked a lot like Lin Xi's imagined scene.

Only Lin Xi's own room was completely evacuated.

After a short few minutes of searching, Lin Xi returned to his cabin again. He looked puzzled at the empty room, and then turned his head to look at the white monster at the door, poking his head.

It seemed very interested in this house, but for some reason, it didn't dare to step into the cabin.

"...Do you know what happened here?" Looking at the humanized appearance of the white monster, Lin Xi couldn't help asking.

"Hiss..."

However, the white monster was only a little timid. It shook the tentacles on the top of its head at him, and then let out a series of short and light mutters.

"Well, it looks like you don't know."

Lin Xi sighed in disappointment.

He checked the corner of the room that had been dismantled, and it didn't take long for him to find some sharp scratches on some metal brackets.Other than that, he found no clue that whoever it was who took all the furniture from his room and swept away his living utensils must have been very meticulous and careful in doing it.

It's just that thinking of her current situation and the terrified monster outside the door, Lin Xi's doubts are getting deeper and deeper.

After circling around but finding nothing, Lin Xi could only frown and leave the living cabin.

Immersed in his chaotic thoughts, Lin Xi didn't even realize that he was walking along a corridor towards a place he knew subconsciously.

And when he came back to his senses, he realized that he was just standing in front of his greenhouse.

This place is far away from the center of the explosion, so it doesn't look like it has been greatly affected. It's just that the metal nameplate welded to the wall has fallen down.

Lin Xi thought for a while, and he slowly pushed open the door of the greenhouse.

The greenhouse is also where he works, maybe he can find some records or clues here...

And the situation behind the greenhouse was completely beyond Lin Xi's expectations.In Lin Xi's vision, the precious plants brought back from Sulu must have dried up after long-term abandonment and no one to take care of them.But now, those plants were shaking their thick leaves in front of him. After losing the care of humans, these plants seemed to be quite thriving.

This is even more strange than Lin Xi's evacuated living room. Lin Xi couldn't help going forward to check it. He was surprised to find that these Sulu plants had been carefully cared for, even Even the release of the nutrient solution did not fail.The only problem is probably that due to lack of light, most of the original Sunu plants of different colors have turned off-white.

And in the middle of the greenhouse, Lin Xi was also very concerned about the giant insect cultivation tank wrapped among the lush plants.

Familiarity flooded Lin Xi like a tide.

Lin Xi slowly walked to the side of the petri dish and looked inside.He was really afraid that he would see the dead body of a tiny butterfly.

Thankfully, the petri dish was empty.

The inner wall of the culture tank was also wiped very clean.A fragrant wood from Sunu stands in the middle of the petri dish, growing extraordinarily luxuriantly.

Lin Xi vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen the thing in front of her in a dream

He walked into the glass culture tank step by step uncontrollably, he raised his head and looked at the fragrant wood.

Something is shining.Lin Xi stretched out her hand and slowly took out the things between the branches.That thing looks like a nest of small birds or insects. At the bottom of the nest, various buttons, metal fragments, and gears are neatly piled up.

"Number one..."

Lin Xi looked at the lair in his hand, in a trance, and pronounced the name.

He vaguely remembered that before he lost consciousness, he seemed to have raised a butterfly?

Lin Xi just thought of the dancing butterfly he saw in his dream, and a warm and nostalgic feeling filled his heart.

【"I'm obetient……"】

The hoarse, weird, low whisper seemed to be right in Lin Xi's ear.

"..."

It's just that when he wanted to investigate carefully, the voice was like a hallucination and never appeared again.

Butterflies...Large Insect Petri Dishes...

Lin Xi slowly withdrew from the training tank. He turned around thoughtfully and looked at the white monster waiting behind him.

"is it you?"

He murmured.

"...It was you who lived here before, and your name is... Number One?"

Lin Xi asked tentatively.

It has an insect-like appearance, is close to him, and has a very humane reaction. According to Lin Xi's reasoning, the white monster following him is probably some kind of alien insect that he raised before...

But this time his thinking seemed to be wrong again. As soon as he asked, the white monster suddenly erected the tentacles on the top of its head, and the whole insect was trembling, as if it had been greatly frightened.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Lin Xi hurriedly asked.

However, the more he showed his concern, the more frightened the white monster seemed...

Lin Xi didn't know that at this moment, right behind him, there was a dark, twisted and evil shadow slowly falling from the ceiling.

That shadow was so terrifying and ferocious, its raised forelimbs were like blades, sharp fangs were exposed from its mouthparts, and its scarlet compound eyes were like devils.What's even more frightening is that even though it has such a huge body, it doesn't make any sound when it moves. It's like a shadow, a ghost, or a monster that crawled out of purgatory slowly. .

At this moment, its forelimbs were raised high, but its eyes were fixed on Lin Xi.

It looked like it could almost cut Lin Xi in two with no difficulty.

"Xavier...".

On the other side, the white monster looked at Lin Xi in horror, and squeezed out a strange word from the depths of its throat.

The moment she heard that word, Lin Xi felt like she had been electrocuted, and shivered all over her body.

"Xavier... Xavier..."

Lin Xi kept repeating the name, obviously having forgotten everything, but her inner emotions became very surging because of the name.

His heart speeded up all of a sudden.

"Xavier is..."

Why did I react so violently after hearing this name?

Lin Xi asked herself in her heart.

And at this moment, he saw the white monster suddenly lift its forelimbs, its worm limbs were like fingers, pointing in his direction.If it was a human being, Lin Xi suspected that it would have been whimpering and crying by now?

"Xavier... has something to do with me, doesn't it?"

Lin Xi became more and more uneasy in his heart. He found that his body was shaking and his palms were extremely hot, and then he guessed like this.

The white monster's eyes were wide open. Although there was no expression on its face, Lin Xi had a strange feeling—he seemed to be able to sense the strong emotions surging deep in the monster's heart. The emotion gushing out of the white monster is fear without a trace of moisture.

In the next second, even Lin Xi realized something was wrong. He suddenly realized that the white monster seemed not to be him, but...

It's what's behind him.

Lin Xi suddenly turned around.

"...".

The moment that ferocious face came into his sight, he couldn't even make a cry for help.

He subconsciously grinned at the terrifying monster, and then let out a sharp threatening sound.

However, the bug that was twice his size didn't seem to be scared at all. On the contrary, when Lin Xi made a threatening sound, it seemed to be irritated.

It suddenly spread its wings, and its tentacles stood upright, which made it look even bigger than before.

The same is also more terrifying.

Lin Xi gasped, and quickly backed away, but even with his now alienated body, there was absolutely no way to avoid the monster attacking his forefoot.

Lin Xi was immediately caught by him.

"His-"

From behind him, came the panicked neighing of the white monster.

Lin Xi turned her head and saw the white monster timidly rushing forward, but compared with the new monster, its fragility and deformity became more conspicuous.

"Leave me alone! Dangerous!"

Lin Xi shouted subconsciously.

As a result, before he finished speaking, the white monster met the eyes of the visitor. The next second, it shook its wings, and then its tentacles suddenly drooped down.

Under Lin Xi's gaze, the white monster hid its ears from the thunder, slid forward, and rushed out of the greenhouse.

That's right, the little white monster ran away without hesitation.

Lin Xi: "..."
