The trembling in Jiang Chen's body slowly disappeared, and his entire body was covered in stinky black sweat. The scales on his neck and right arm completely disappeared, while his height increased from one hundred seventy-five to one hundred eighty-one centimeters. His eyes became permanently blue and green, and the scars he got from his childhood completely disappeared, especially the light scar on his eyebrow. Right now, he was completely like a newborn baby, with smooth, pale white skin that even girls would envy. Added to his natural beauty, right now, his aura was like that of a heavenly being descending to the sky.
Jiang Chen slowly climbed onto the bed and quickly looked at his arms. The blackened right arm finally returned to its normal color. It synchronized with his skin color, but he knew that this new arm of his was totally different.
He also felt that his body right now was totally changed, but he could not say how the difference was.
"According to the memories I recall, the beginning of the disaster was when I woke up," Jiang Chen caressed his right arm while trying to recall his dreams, but alas, it was all for naught.
He could only sigh and say, "I only want to live my life peacefully, why this time...?"
"What was really happening? Where did all this come from?" he asked, holding his chin while thinking about where and why this would happen in the first place.
Then he remembered before he lost consciousness after the accident, a dark red object slowly crawled on his wounded arm, and its shape was like a drop of blood. The moment it made contact with his blood, it disappeared, and then he completely fainted.
Creak...
The door to his room slowly opened, and a beautiful pair of eyes looked at him, but he was occupied in his own thoughts.
The moment Jiang Yan saw her brother, she became excited and quickly ran towards him because her brother finally returned to his normal appearance, not even a shred of scales or anything else.
"BROTHER?" she called out, hugging him tightly, and her hands were trembling. She completely ignored the stinky smell on her brother's body. A drop of tears slid down her eyes as she looked at the face of the person who almost left her.
She had tried many times to stay strong and not cry, but whenever she thought that the only family member left to her might also leave soon, she couldn't help it. She could only cry quietly. For the whole twenty-four hours, she didn't sleep, and she was tired, but she endured it because her brother might wake up at any moment, and the only thing she wanted was to be with him. Finally, her wish came true when her brother woke up, but the moment she saw him, he was completely changed from being human to a monster. Although she was reluctant to tie up her brother, for their safety, she could only agree. The moment they finished tying him up, the electricity in the entire base was suddenly cut off, and the moment it came back on, she saw her brother's form...
"Brother, please don't leave me again." Her cry was a mix of pleading and grievance.
He was snapped out of his thoughts and, thinking of the smell of his body, he hurriedly pushed away the girl who was in his embrace.
But instead of pushing the girl away, her hug became tighter.
"B-b-brother, don't leave me, please," she said weakly. He saw her shoulders shaking and thought she might have misunderstood, so he said jokingly, "Hey, you'll also become stinky if you keep hugging me."
"I don't care." Then she looked at his face while shaking her head.
"Sigh, I won't leave you, OK? Let me go first, and I'll take a bath first because I can't even stand my own smell, and how could I let you smell like this? So let me go first, OK?" He patted her head and then raised his arm to smell his underarm.
"Hehehe, brother, you're so bad," she said, letting go of him. But it was visible in her eyes that she was reluctant. There was something that was making her not want to let go of her brother, even though she didn't know what it was.
"OK, wait for me for 10 minutes." He didn't forget to pinch her cheeks before getting his things and heading to the bathroom.

The entire earth was in mayhem, chaos, and frenzy. One-third of the world's population had become flesh-hungry monsters, while animals had turned wild and brought upheaval to the surrounding cities. Among the remaining population, the majority were in their twenties to forties, with fifteen percent being old, aging from fifty to seventy years old, and the remaining five percent being children.
The White House
Even the US president was not spared, and he had been infected by the mist. Right now, he was being restrained by the presidential bodyguard.
"What should we do?" one of the members of the State Service asked the man whose face was dignified. This man was none other than the acting Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper.
"Can anyone here explain what is happening?!" Mark scanned the people around him.
"We can't tell what is really happening. The only thing we can remember is a lightning strike in the sky. Then we all fainted, and the moment we regained consciousness, the president and his son had already become insane. Their eyes had turned red, and they started to attack everyone," the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff explained while his body was covered in sweat and trembling.
"Call a doctor right now! Call anyone who you think can help the President right now!" Mark roared.
"But, Secretary, the phones and landlines are offline."
"WHAT?!"
"According to the report from scientists at NASA, the Earth is experiencing a worldwide electromagnetic pulse (EMP). Based on the situation right now, we have already been hit by gamma rays, causing all the satellites orbiting Earth to malfunction."
