Clack.The safety came off with a sound that cut through the tense air. Seven watched the man’s finger tighten on the trigger guard. One twitch. That’s all it would take.“Hey! What the hell are you guys doing?!”A new voice, sharp and young, sliced through the standoff.Seven didn’t turn his head. His eyes stayed locked on Qian Yu, the so-called team leader whose smile had evaporated. In his peripheral vision, a small figure sho

Chapter 47: Metal Gospel
Chapter 47: Metal Gospel Click. The sound wasn’t from a gun. It was the electro-optical targeting system of the Type 730 Close-in Weapon System completing its final azimuth alignment. A soft, mechanical purr of lethal intent. Seven saw it from under the train. His back was pressed against cold gravel, the smell of oil and decay thick in his throat. His eyes—calm, calculating, cataloging—tracked the massive turret as it swiveled on its mount with a hydraulic hiss. Its seven-barreled Gatling muzzle, designed to shred supersonic missiles, now lowered its gaze from the sky. It pointed at a man on the hillside. Feng Yuming. The name floated up from the borrowed memories in Seven’s skull. A thug with delusions of grandeur, now standing frozen, his face a mask of pure, stupid disbelief. Seven’s internal monologue was a flat, clinical line. Anti-
Chapter 46: Advanced Insect Transformation
Chapter 46: Advanced Insect Transformation Boom. The pickup truck flipped, metal shrieking as it tore across the railway gravel. Inside, Sha Sha screamed. Lou Ye moved on pure instinct—arm around his sister’s waist, boot kicking the door, rolling them both clear a half-second before three tons of steel crumpled against the hillside. He hit the ground hard. Shoulder first. Felt the wet crunch, not the gravel, but the bullet that had found him moments before. “Brother!” Sha Sha’s voice was raw. No time. Gunfire rat-tat-tatted from the platform above, muzzle flashes like strobe lights in the thick, oily fog. The air tasted of blood, cordite, and something worse—spoiled meat and wet chitin. Lou Ye shoved Sha Sha behind the overturned wreckage. Peered over the hood. Hell. That was the only word for it. The T34 outpost courtyard was a meat grinder. The Black Serpent Team
Chapter 45: Fierce Battle
Chapter 45: Fierce BattleClick.The slide of the pistol locked back. Empty.Seven stared at the weapon in his hand. Useless. Like everything else in this godforsaken world. The metallic tang of blood and cordite hung thick in the fog, a taste that had already become familiar. He was not Lin Xian anymore. That weak ghost was gone. He was Seven now. A Null from a dead Earth, stuffed into the skin of a dead man in a dying city.And right now, the man he’d been watching through this body’s eyes—Qian Yu—was screaming into a walkie-talkie, spit flying from his mouth.“Spit it out! What’s the old bastard’s game?!”Static hiss. A voice crackled back, tinny with panic. “He… he locked the shelter from the outside! The barriers at the entrance, they’re not for keeping things out, they’re for keeping us in!”Seven’s new brain—Lin Xian’s memories, a messy, fear-soaked filmstrip—clicked pieces together. Cold logic cut through the sur
Chapter 44: Air Raid Alert
Chapter 44: Air Raid Alert The air in the underground room was thick with the smell of cheap wine and stale meat. Clink. Tang Hai set his empty can down on the metal table. The sound was flat, final. He leaned back in the tactical recliner, the worn leather creaking under his weight. His face, half-shadowed by the low emergency light, was a mask of grim calculation. “That kid,” he said, voice a low rumble. “The Null with the girl. He’s too calm.” Across from him, Feng Yuming snorted. He scraped the last of some syrupy fruit from a can with his finger. “The one called Seven? He’s nothing. Just a pair of eyes. The girl’s the battery. And she’s tapped out.” “You’re sure?” “Saw it myself. She’s running on fumes and attitude. And now she’s stuck in a hole.” Feng Yuming licked his finger clean, a smirk playing on his lips. “Da Huang is ready. We’ve stripped the last of the gear from th
Chapter 43: Underground Elevator
Chapter 43: Underground ElevatorThe stench hit him first.Not rot. Not decay. Something sharper. Chemical. Metallic. Like old blood and rusted iron left to stew in a closed can.Seven stood in the doorway of the second ops room, his new eyes taking it in. Desks shoved into a pile. Chairs stacked like crooked bones. Faint indents on the concrete floor where mats had been. People had slept here. Then they’d left in a hurry.Or they hadn’t left at all.Click.His thumb flicked a lighter he’d found in the pocket of these borrowed jeans. The flame danced, throwing long, hungry shadows up the walls.“This works,” he said, his voice a low rasp. It still felt strange. This throat. This tongue. He dragged a stool away from the pile with a gritty screech of metal on concrete. He looked at the girl leaning against the doorframe. Kiki. “Rest.”She glanced at the dirty floor, her nose wrinkling. Her eyes—too sharp, too know

His eyes stayed locked on Qian Yu, the so-called team leader whose smile had evaporated. In his peripheral vision, a small figure shoved through the ring of onlookers. A girl. Couldn’t have been older than nineteen. She was hauling a weapon almost as big as she was—a grenade launcher, its tube ugly and promising.Kr-chk.Behind her, a tall man racked the slide on a machine gun. Brother and sister, maybe. The resemblance was there in the set of their jaws.“We’re together.” The girl planted herself between Seven and the muzzle of Qian Yu’s gun. Her voice didn’t waver. “You want Seven? You go through
