Chapter 001: The Death Penalty for Youth

The audience watching the play was suddenly thrown into chaos, rushing towards the exit, while those suddenly mutated "humans" relentlessly pursued them from behind. However, the old Sun was oblivious to the situation; after gnawing on General Wang's corpse for a while, he charged straight towards the execution platform, breaking through the originally high-strength tempered glass with his head. The executioner inside, initially unaware of what was happening outside, hurriedly opened the back door to escape. However, the old Sun was oblivious to the situation; after gnawing on General Wang's corpse for a while, he charged straight towards the execution platform, breaking through the originally high-strength tempered glass with his head. The executioner inside, initially unaware of what was happening outside, hurriedly opened the back door to escape.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, thank you for your concern, General Manager Wang. Just a slight cold, just a slight cold." Old Sun immediately covered his mouth with his hand and turned his face away

His eyes had completely lost their sight, and at that moment, he suddenly felt a coolness on his neck, as if something had been released. The pain in his body seemed to return, yet his consciousness remained hazy. Although those scenes were no longer present, the anger and desire to survive in his heart grew even stronger

At this moment, the last vial of nerve agent is about to be fully injected

His lips had long since cracked, his jaw was nearly dislocated, and his eyes seemed about to pop out, with two streams of blood tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, resembling a demon from hell. The intense pain contorted his body into an unnatural arc, causing all the blood vessels to swell several times, appearing like snakes crawling on the surface of his skin, as if they were about to burst forth at any moment. Some of the more timid spectators in the stands below had already covered their eyes, peeking out through their fingers.

Seeing that there was nothing left to bite, the old Sun immediately sank his teeth into Li Lang's neck, who was bound to the execution platform, seemingly intending to take a few bites of this fresh prey

Alas, what a pity, at such a young age... I never expected him to be a murderer... The people in the stands whispered to each other, watching the young man bound to the bed.

There are no tears, only a maddening rage of detachment, you corrupt officials! You unscrupulous merchants! If there is a next life, I will ensure that you meet a terrible end! Damn it, I will pierce through the heavens! Let you see the fairness of the people! Those dressed-up beasts below must be pretending to be sympathetic, but I am not interested!

In Li Lang's spiritual world, everything is filled with maddening phantoms that incite his anger. He is enraged by the wickedness of evil men, by his own weakness, by the injustices of this world, and by death itself! Yet the excruciating pain throughout his body is gradually fading, and his sensations are diminishing. When all sensations are lost, that will be the moment of his death

"Good, good, good, indeed exciting!" Mr. Wang, however, wore an expression of sheer excitement, as if he had just seen some exquisite delicacy, with the corners of his mouth curving upward, radiating joy. In contrast, Old Sun beside him appeared even paler, his eyes staring blankly ahead; if someone were to touch him, they would find that his body temperature was surprisingly warm.

Ah—ah—these harrowing scenes caused his already motionless body to struggle once more

"Kid, don't blame me; this is your own misfortune for offending the wrong person." The doctor muttered to himself, glanced at the time, May 4, 2110, and then pressed the injection button

Ah! A searing pain pierced through his heart, spreading from his left arm to his entire body. He felt as if he were about to ignite, while the excruciating pain from his internal organs felt like countless small saws cutting through him. This could no longer be described as mere pain; it was a torment beyond human endurance! Under such agony, an ordinary person would have long since fainted, but Li Lang, due to the injection of a cardiac stimulant, not only could not lose consciousness but instead felt the pain magnified a hundredfold!

The sound of a beep echoed again, a synthetic electronic tone. The first vial of the drug had been injected, and Li Lang, who was supposed to fall into a coma according to the procedure, felt his nerves clearer than ever. His five senses were heightened to their peak. He stared blankly at his surroundings, unsure why he did not feel the approach of death.

Calmed down, Li Lang saw the slowly injected medication and was instantly enveloped by a fear of death. This fear was like an unfathomable abyss, making him feel as if despair was gradually pulling him down.

It is said that offending General Manager Wang and Mayor Zhang led to the killing of Mayor Zhang's confidant, a voice in the corner said in a low tone

As Old Sun had gorged himself on fresh blood and was about to indulge in a feast, he suddenly let out a tragic, beast-like cry, and his body began to dissolve rapidly, melting into a mass of sludge like a candle

The subsequent events unfolded logically: being apprehended by the police, sentenced, and then ultimately facing his final resting place—euthanasia! The Republic of Red Star has never abolished the death penalty, and he never expected that it would come to him now.

The desperate fear and the furious excitement drained all of Li Lang's strength as he struggled, convulsing like a fish on a chopping board, instilling a wave of fearful exhilaration among those below who awaited death

"I want to live, I want to live, live..." A series of unconscious sounds emerged from the throat, resembling the clamor of hell. At this moment, only a few mutated 'humans' remained in the execution chamber, voraciously devouring corpses, while Old Sun had been eerily motionless since he bit into Li Lang's neck.

Out of the corner of his eye, Li Lang caught sight of the thick needle inserted into his body and the three syringe barrels, each as thick as a child's arm, not far away. A wave of despair surged from the depths of his heart. A desperate wail emanated from his abdomen; death was drawing ever closer.

"Mayor Zhang has a meeting; I just need to take a look. Look at this kid, just like his parents, stubborn and unreasonable; it's no wonder he won't survive. " President Wang paused for a moment, looking at the thin man with a face full of disgust, and said, "I say, Old Sun, aren't you sick? Why do you keep coughing?"

That is, otherwise how could there be so many people rushing to watch this euthanasia execution? They are all prominent figures from City A, haha. However, it would be strange if this euthanasia actually brought them peace...

Originally an ordinary university student, he suddenly received the devastating news that his parents had been buried alive in a collapsed building. The culprits behind this tragedy were none other than General Manager Wang and Mayor Zhang. In pursuit of their own interests, they forcibly carried out the demolition, and his parents, who refused to comply, were secretly harmed under the pretext of an engineering accident. After receiving the news, Li Lang endured for a month and finally found an opportunity to assassinate Mayor Zhang and General Manager Wang, but unexpectedly, he was used as a pawn by others and ended up killing the wrong person

The executioner physician cast a sympathetic glance at Li Lang, thinking to himself, this young man must have offended someone, as they have actually replaced the medication with the latest H-type putrefactive toxin, a cardiac stimulant, and a neurotoxin. This is intended to slowly torture him to death. The putrefactive toxin will cause his internal organs to decay in a very short time, while the cardiac stimulant will keep him awake, and the neurotoxin will drive him insane. What a torment this is!

It turned out that due to the expansion of Li Lang's blood vessels caused by the drug, his blood gushed out like a fountain. Although the old Sun was no longer human, he could not bear to waste such a delicacy, so he kept drinking the blood

At that moment, different screams erupted from the audience area, and unexpectedly, seven or eight individuals suddenly stood up to attack those beside them

The second tube of medication has also begun to be injected

Old Sun was originally staring straight ahead, motionless. At that moment, upon hearing a voice beside him, he slowly turned his head. To his surprise, his pupils dilated!

The second vial of medication was finally injected, and Li Lang's mind was a blank. A small piece of his tongue had been bitten off, and the rubber-like mass had also been expelled. His body remained tense, emitting a beast-like sound of "huh huh" from his mouth, and his pupils appeared somewhat dazed. It seemed he could not hold on much longer, but it appeared he could endure until the last vial of medication.

The final vial of serum was injected, and suddenly, a series of bloody images appeared in Li Lang's nearly bursting brain. He saw his parents kneeling on the ground, subjected to humiliation. Those people were torturing his parents with various tools, and his parents were letting out cries of agony.

"That is, that is, ahem, General Manager Wang, why have you come in person? Has Mayor Zhang not arrived?" A thin man, drenched in sweat, asked with a smile.

I want revenge, I do not want to die! Li Lang shouted in his heart. If I had already killed my enemy, that would be one thing, but instead, I ended up killing a substitute; I cannot accept this! My parents were driven to death by that bastard boss and corrupt officials due to forced relocation, and I must take revenge with my own hands to appease their spirits in the afterlife. I cannot accept this! My frail body twisted in agony, yet it was firmly restrained by steel rings on the dark steel bed, like a fish struggling in a net

"It would be a miracle if he could survive!" another voice responded excitedly, "I heard that President Wang prepared some good things for him?"

The sensation of pain gradually faded away, and Li Lang's consciousness slowly returned. He did not know where the strength came from, but suddenly let out a loud shout, and then collapsed onto the bed like a broken sack, his pupils slowly dilating.

"Hehe, this stimulant is quite something. He hasn't died yet; this kid must have seen the most maddening scene. " President Wang chuckled as he watched Li Lang struggle incessantly. Turning his head away, he disdainfully remarked, "Old Sun, are you alright? Don't let a cold take you out here."

Li Lang suddenly felt a cold medicinal liquid injected into his left arm, which quickly spread throughout his body with the expansion of his blood. His spirits were unexpectedly lifted, and his emotions stabilized. This was the effect of the stimulant!

Among the informed spectators in the stands, especially General Wang, a cruel smile emerged. The main event is yet to come

"I do not want to die, I do not want to die, I want revenge!" The young man shouted frantically, veins bulging on his fierce face. This provoked an uproar among the spectators below; some looked despondent, some appeared angry, while others smiled with glee. The executioner beside him stuffed a piece of rubber into his mouth, leaving him to struggle helplessly.

"This kid is still thinking about revenge. His entire family is dead, and now he's finished too. What kind of revenge can he seek? Just a commoner, haha," said a pale-faced, overweight man in a sinister tone to the person next to him.

Just as Mr. Wang was about to say something, Old Sun suddenly lunged forward, biting into Mr. Wang's neck and tearing away a large chunk of flesh that was still attached to the artery

I do not want to die, I want to live, no... ..." A hoarse voice emerged from his throat, barely audible. Tears finally streamed from the corners of the young man's eyes, sliding down his pale cheeks as slowly as the infusion of the medication.
