Primal Obsession [Apocalypse]

The apocalypse struck without warning. Zombies ran rampant, mutant species wreaked havoc, and the world's order collapsed.

After the disaster began, Li Shuo was identified as the source of the virus leak, as well as an accomplice who had helped Bai Menghai escape with the original data.

Yet he was also the only person proven capable of influencing the evolution of mutant species.

He became prey, hunted by the mutants, and was eventually captured by Ji Jing, the captain of a special forces unit.

Ji Jing had seen too many comrades torn apart alive by zombies and cities swallowed by zombie hordes. He had also become infected and turned into a mutant himself, so he was full of hostility toward Li Shuo.

While escorting Li Shuo to headquarters, they fell into a trap set by other mutants. A zombie horde closed in, leaving them nowhere to run.

Even though he "hated" the man, Ji Jing still chose to stand in front of Li Shuo and draw the horde away by himself.

After doing everything he could to kill a large number of zombies, Ji Jing's signs of mutation began to spiral out of control.

To calm him, Li Shuo bled into his hand and held it to Ji Jing's lips. It was the only thing that could ease his pain.

The smell of blood ignited Ji Jing's body. Heat rose, passion took hold, and in his confused state, he and Li Shuo tumbled together.

Ji Jing's kiss, heavy with the scent of blood, felt less like a kiss and more like a punishing bite.

"Why should I care about someone like you?"

Li Shuo closed his eyes, but still reached out to embrace that body on the verge of losing control.

Ji Jing became increasingly attentive to him. Their relationship grew dangerous and ambiguous, and they sank into a passion they couldn't escape.

But unlike Li Shuo's dark, secretive heart, Ji Jing, even after becoming a mutant and standing on the brink of life and death, always put others' safety first. A "hero" with such an almost demanding sense of morality could never be on the same side as him.

His resolve to use Ji Jing began to waver...

Just as he finally decided to come clean, someone blocked his escape route.

Bai Menghai stood in the shadows, staring at the ambiguous yet cruel marks on his body. His emotions rarely got the better of him, but now he lost control. "Do you have to provoke me like this?"

Another gaze fell on him, too.

Bai Hanchen hurriedly grabbed his hand from behind and urged him,

"Hurry, let's go. He's not my brother anymore."

A murmur came from deep within the shadows: "I'll plunge this world into even greater chaos."

The words were chilling. Listening to Bai Menghai mutter them in a daze, Li Shuo knew he had to stop this madman, even if it meant sacrificing himself.

--[Preview: After Being Forced to Brand an S-Rank Guide]--

Little Bell wasn't originally called Little Bell, but nobody cared what his real name was.

He came from a defeated family in a remote part of the interstellar frontier. Since he wore a bell earring on his left ear, everyone called him that.

Little Bell was sent into slavery and dispatched to a poor planet to mine and farm. When his B-rank sentinel abilities were discovered by chance, he was assigned to the Leslow Sentinel-Guide Administration Center and began fighting for Planet E330.

Since he was only a B-rank sentinel, he didn't even have a chance of meeting an S-rank guide, let alone receiving guidance from one.

All sentinels below A rank could only rely on medication during combat. They were recalled for machine-assisted guidance only when they were on the verge of going berserk.

Little Bell always gave everything in battle. Blood bursting from his wounds splattered all over the guidance room, and the medical staff often complained about him.

"Honestly, these B-rank sentinels are useless. The medical support they get costs far more than anything they contribute, and they make this place filthy..."

Little Bell was openly mocked without the slightest restraint. He simply lay on the guidance bed with a bitter smile, never complaining about anyone.

Almost everyone in his family had been wiped out. Back on that desolate remote planet, where even a single potato had to last him several days, there was white rice and hamburgers here. He was already very satisfied.

At first, he was that optimistic. He worked diligently, never complained, and spent day and night clearing out mobs in countless low-level but densely clustered portals.

But at a sentinel assembly, all the sentinels and guides at Leslow were summoned by the higher-ups. He got to see the legendary S-rank guides and sentinels.

Even from a great distance, he could make out the man leading the group at the front. Dressed in a white military uniform, with black hair and red eyes, he was extraordinarily dazzling. A familiar flutter stirred in Little Bell's heart again.

Ansite, captain of Team One at the Leslow Sentinel-Guide Administration Center, one of only two S-rank guides in the country, and the only dual-ability user with S-rank sentinel abilities as well.

Admiration, jealousy. All kinds of complicated emotions showed in everyone's eyes.

Little Bell only took one glance before lowering his head, his heart fluttering wildly.

He had once met Ansite briefly, a year ago. Carrying guidance medication, he had been sent alone to handle a low-level portal. He had done it several times before. Killing D-rank monsters was just repetitive, exhausting work, like weeding. Even if there was a boss, he could handle it by himself.

He thought this time would be like the others, just taking a little longer and being a little harder. But this time, something went wrong. The D-rank portal quietly rose to B rank. He didn't know that fused portals existed, and after killing the D-rank boss, a large number of B-rank monsters appeared.

Unable to call for help, Little Bell fought desperately. Covered in blood and having run out of guidance medication, he was on the verge of going berserk. For the first time, he felt an enormous pain wash over him like a tidal wave. Blood vessels on the inside of his eyelids burst, spraying blood everywhere.

No wonder so many low-rank sentinels went mad or killed themselves when they couldn't get relief. So this was what it was like. So agonizing, so tormenting, enough to drive someone insane.

With the last of his strength, he crawled out of the portal. Through his blurred, bloodstained vision, he saw a man floating in midair, looking at him in surprise. Then the man landed lightly and flew toward him.

"How pitiful~ Why did you enter a B-rank portal all by yourself?"

Whether it was charity or something else, a kiss with no trace of love pressed against Little Bell's lips.

Little Bell was like dry cotton soaking up water. He was overwhelmingly satisfied. Instinctively, he reached out with his bloodstained tongue and tangled it with the other man's, greedily seeking the moisture in his mouth. He had never dared to hope for the mucosal guidance of an S-rank guide.

So this was what it felt like, so intoxicating. The pain quickly faded, and the extreme pleasure in his mind made him sink into it...
