Awakening as the Sole Purifier [Apocalypse]

Ling Shi had always thought Lu Tingxiao was a lunatic.

At their first meeting, Lu Tingxiao used shameless methods to tie him up tight and torture him for information. The whip tore through his shirt and split his skin, leaving him covered in mottled streaks of blood, a horrifying and gruesome sight.

Yet Lu Tingxiao lowered his head, inhaled the scent of blood from Ling Shi's wounds, and looked intoxicated. Then he licked them with his lips and tongue, sighing as if enchanted: "You smell so good."

In the year 2588 of Blue Star, a failed human experiment unleashed the "Rotters" across the globe, bringing on the apocalypse.

Driven by the ambition to save the world, genius researcher Ling Shi crossed paths with Lu Tingxiao, a mysterious man with something wrong with his head.

Their first meeting had gone terribly, but they still decided to travel together. Along the way, they found a survivor surrounded by Rotters, dressed in rags, bleeding profusely from his wounds, and on the brink of death.

Lu Tingxiao sneered, his tone full of disdain. "He's going to die sooner or later. There's no point saving him."

Ling Shi gritted his teeth, his expression resolute. "I want to try."

Only after trying did he learn that he was the one and only Purifier in the world.

At a human settlement in North Africa, besieged by the enemy, the president hurriedly wiped his fingers clean and nervously welcomed the savior who had just turned the tide of battle.

Lu Tingxiao lazily brushed blood off his coat and walked up to Ling Shi. "It's been three months. You've purified so many people and so many areas. Isn't it about time you did something about me, too?"

Ling Shi raised his head, his gaze like a mirror-still lake filled with stars. "There's just one last thing. To end the apocalypse, there's only one final test subject left."

Lu: "Where?"

Ling: "M Country..."

Everyone sucked in a breath. M Country was where the virus had first emerged. Now, nothing grew there, and it had been overrun by advanced Rotters.

As they walked farther and farther away, their voices drifted back on the wind:

Lu: "We agreed, once we find them all, we're going home."

Ling: "Okay."

Lu: "No sneaking out again!"

Ling: "Don't order me around so viciously!"

Lu: "You're not leaving the house for three months."

Ling: "Hm? You mean the lab?"

Lu: "...The bedroom! Though, if you don't mind moving what happens in the bedroom to the lab, I don't mind either..."

Ling: "Get lost!"

A genius in both brains and brawn, with a straightforward, resilient partner VS a scheming, theatrical, half-Rotter top
