Chapter 9

About the little incident with the white-haired girl, several months had unknowingly passed by.

That evening, Lin Zichen was massaging his parents’ shoulders in the living room.

Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin, having spent long periods sitting in front of a computer writing novels, had become stiff and uncomfortable in many parts of their bodies.

Especially their shoulders, which would often crackle with the slightest movement.

“Xiao Chen is so considerate, even massaging Mommy’s shoulders. Mommy hasn’t spoiled you for nothing.”

Zhang Wanxin lay on the sofa, enjoying Lin Zichen’s appropriately firm massage, her face filled with happiness and pleasure.

Sitting on the side, Lin Yansheng felt somewhat imbalanced and complained, “That’s not fair, son. You massaged me for less than half an hour, and you’ve been massaging her for almost an hour now, and you’re still going!”

Zhang Wanxin hummed, “I changed all his diapers when he was little and bathed him too. Now if I enjoy our son’s filial piety a bit more, how is that unfair?”

“If you put it that way, then I need to have a serious talk with you, I was the one who made the formula milk for him when he was little.”

“You have the nerve to bring that up? The formula milk you prepared for our son was either too hot or too cold, shameless.”

The couple started bickering at the slightest disagreement.

Lin Zichen smiled and didn’t take it too seriously.

He knew his parents were just teasing each other and wouldn’t actually start arguing.

Besides, a bit of teasing could add to the family atmosphere, which was quite nice.

Meanwhile, the television in front was broadcasting a piece of news.

“Capital City prodigy, making history again!”

“At just ten years old, he successfully fused with the Exotic Beast Gene and can lift a thousand-pound boulder with one hand!”

“A promising future!”

Hearing the words “Capital City prodigy,” Lin Zichen immediately turned his head to look at the TV.

Sure enough, it was the Capital City prodigy who at the age of two could lift a 20kg weight with one hand.

“It’s this Capital City prodigy again, isn’t this kid appearing on the screen way too often? Is he trying to become an internet sensation to make money from endorsements?”

Lin Yansheng, watching the news on the television and stroking his stubble, muttered.

Zhang Wanxin puzzled, “This child is only just ten years old; his body hasn’t even developed fully yet, and they’re letting him fuse with Exotic Beast Gene. Aren’t they afraid he won’t be able to suppress the Exotic Beast Gene, causing his body to mutate?”

Lin Yansheng thought for a moment and said, “After all, it’s those millennia-old Martial Arts Families from the Capital City; they know much more than we do, perhaps they have some advanced Genetic Fusion technology.”

“However advanced it is, they shouldn’t use their own children as a test subject, it’s incomprehensible.” Zhang Wanxin shook her head, holding no good feelings toward the television’s depiction of the Martial Arts Family.

“We hope that various nations will provide us, Sakura Sea Country, with some assistance to jointly eradicate the Heretical Sect.”

“Our Sakura Sea Country, will fight to the death with the Heretical Sect!”

In the video, an elderly man from Sakura Sea Country with white at his temples spoke angrily and then bowed deeply to the viewers in front of the television, with his hands pressed against his thighs.

It was Lin Zichen’s first time hearing the term “Heretical Sect.”

He immediately picked up Zhang Wanxin’s phone and searched online.

He then found out that the so-called Heretical Sect was an anti-human organization founded by traitors.

These traitorous members of the Heretical Sect, for the sake of benefits, had betrayed humanity and become lackeys of the exotic beasts, choosing to direct their aggression against their own kind, often orchestrating attacks within human territories.

Many small countries with weaker national strength often suffered greatly.

“I’m just glad I was born in a strong nation with a relatively stable environment that allows me to comfortably grow and develop.”

Lin Zichen felt a sense of relief.

He had no other desires except for hoping that the land where he lived would allow him to safely grow until he reached eighteen.

By then, with his advantage, he would have enough power to protect himself and his family from those giant mutant rats seen in the news reports.

“Boom——”

“Boom——”

“Boom——”

Suddenly, bursts of sonic booms were heard from outside the window.

They made the glass tremble.

And caused ringing in the ears.

Hearing the noise, Lin Zichen quickly collected his thoughts and ran to the window to check the situation.

Upon pulling back the curtain, he saw dozens of Mechanically Modified Humans soaring across the night sky at high speed, leaving behind trails in the air.

“At this time of night, why would there suddenly be so many official Mechanically Modified Humans flying? Has something happened?”

Lin Yansheng, who had unknowingly approached the window as well, watched the gradually disappearing official Mechanically Modified Humans in the night sky with a look of perplexity.

Zhang Wanxin also came over, looking at the night sky with a worried expression, “I hope nothing bad has happened.”

Lin Zichen stood in front of Zhang Wanxin, silently watching the remaining flight trails in the night sky, sharing the same concern as Zhang Wanxin.
