He stared at Madam Lu. The light changed and he saw a rainbow in her eyes. “You…”

An Zhe took a few steps back. Behind him was a red alarm bell installed in every room. “Don’t you want to be human?”

Madam Lu watched him and tears rolled down from her eyes.

“Humans have no hope,” she declared.

“Wait until Lu Feng comes back…”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Madam Lu suddenly laughed. At the same time, tears kept falling from her eyes. Her entire body was shaking like a leaf in the autumn wind and her right hand covered her mouth so that only intermittent laughter could be heard.

“Humans… they have caused me and my children too much pain.” An Zhe finally heard her speak. She might be pitying Lu Feng but the next moment, Madam Lu’s voice became hoarse.

“Lu Feng… he is firmer than me. he is like this base. He can sacrifice everything for the sake of humanity but he will never get what he wants.” The lady reached out for a bright red rose. The thorns pierced her hand but the pain made her voice calmer. “He wants to protect everything that will be destroyed. His belief is a castle in the air… he won’t die well. The fact that I can’t see the day he goes crazy, that I can’t see the day when this base collapses… is my only regret.”

The hopeless, sad hatred hidden in her voice made An Zhe’s eyes widen. He had no idea what was going on and stared at her in disbelief.

The rose petals slipped from Madam Lu’s hand and her voice softened. “What I want to do is leave here. What is your purpose for coming to the human base and coming to him, little heterogeneous?”

An Zhe stared at her and couldn’t say anything.

However, Madam Lu didn’t seem to want to hear her answer. Her neck was getting longer and her entire body was changing. She stretched and bent in strange arcs, swelling and swelling—

Dark lines appeared on her body. Her body turned elliptical and her arms became an arthropod’s slender foot. A part of transparent wings tore through the dress and emerged from her back. In just one minute, she had become a half-human, half-bee creature.

The weird fluctuations were becoming fiercer but they only shrouded Lily’s body. Then Lily’s body changed the same way.

“The time is coming. Human genes are too weak to perceive what is happening in the world. They couldn’t tolerate variation and a loss of choice but other creatures aren’t strong.” She whispered softly. “We will all die. I don’t hate humans. I have worked for the base for 35 years, relieving women of a lot of pain and allowing the base to give birth to more babies every year.”
