A new Forbidden Zone appeared on the outskirts of Qing City. Nearby roads had been sealed off, and the Special Affairs Department had been dispatched to investigate and prevent the Forbidden Zone from spreading further.
Research found that the Blood Moon had negative effects on people's mental and physical health. Residents should take precautions and avoid going out under clear night skies whenever possible.
Heavenly God Pharmaceutical Company announced that it had developed a more stable Gene Awakening Potion and planned to mass-produce and release it in the coming months.
"This world really is strange..."
Su Heng sat in a chair with a thick blanket over his legs, absorbed in the news on his computer screen.
It was a small house. The plaster on its yellowed walls had peeled away, and several fine cracks spread outward in irregular patterns.
Bright moonlight filtered through the gauze window and fell across the young man's face.
Young, frail, pale.
He had been in this world for a full half year.
Over the past six months, Su Heng could count on one hand the number of times he had stepped out of this room.
It was not because he had communication problems or feared social interaction.
It was because of his illness.
Blood cancer.
Commonly known as leukemia.
It was a malignant disease of the hematopoietic system. Unlike solid tumors, it was not a localized growth but spread throughout the entire body.
That meant that without timely treatment, patients usually withered away from bleeding and infection in less than half a year.
For Su Heng, who was utterly alone,
the moment the diagnosis came out, he had essentially been sentenced to death.
"If I committed a crime, then let the law punish me. But why, after dying once, did I have to die a second time?"
Cough, cough!
A strong taste of rust rose from his throat. Su Heng bent over and covered his mouth with a tissue. Only after coughing for a while did he come back to his senses amid a wave of dizziness.
He spread open his palm.
Blinding scarlet blotches spread across the tissue.
"How many times has this been today?"
He casually tossed the bloodstained wad into the trash, braced himself against the corner of the desk, drank a mouthful of warm water, and lay down on the bed. Only then did he feel a little better.
He turned onto his side.
Looking at the moon outside the window, haloed in faint red, Su Heng's lips moved slightly. "Sweet dreams to me..."
He reached out and drew the curtains. Amid faint stabs of pain, he soon drifted into sleep.

A dreamlike white light appeared before Su Heng. When he woke again, he found himself in a lush primeval jungle.
Ancient trees dozens of meters tall surrounded him, their luxuriant branches and leaves blotting out the sky.
Beams of light passed through gaps in the branches, while dust motes danced in the golden sunlight.
A plump owl flapped its wings and landed on a branch, staring blankly at Su Heng.
Completely unfamiliar scenery, fresh air, and the babbling sound of a stream not far away.
Everything.
All of it reminded Su Heng that what was happening before him was real.
"This isn't the Dreamscape. This is reality."
After examining his surroundings, Su Heng realized that something was wrong with his perspective, as well as the sensation in his limbs...
"I actually turned into a snake?"
Amid the lush forest was a dark golden snake, a little over half a meter long from head to tail.
It was probably autumn now. The ground was covered in withered yellow leaves, and unless one looked carefully, it would be difficult to spot the dark golden, dangerous hunter slipping through the forest.
"But this shouldn't be a python."
Although he had entered the body of a Little Snake, Su Heng did not feel much discomfort when moving around.
He coiled his body and looked at the ring-shaped markings arranged in alternating patterns across his scales, a faint guess forming in his mind.
"These ring-shaped markings, along with the surroundings... if I'm not mistaken, this should be a Forest Boa."
Forest boas, also called Water Boas.
In his previous life, they had been the largest snakes in the world. They usually grew beyond ten meters, and the largest anaconda had even exceeded fifteen meters in length.
Anacondas loved water and hunted by constricting their prey.
Their immense size and muscles covering their entire bodies allowed these monsters to easily kill large wild creatures such as Caiman Crocodiles, wild boars, sika deer, and even jaguars.
They were among the most dangerous predators in the primeval jungle.
The Little Boa Su Heng had possessed was only half a meter long. It had clearly been born not long ago.
Su Heng had enjoyed watching animal documentaries and jungle exploration programs in his previous life, so he had a deep impression of anacondas.
However, this world with its Red Moon was vastly different from his previous life. The primeval jungle was even more dangerous, and he could not say what the exact situation was.
Anacondas were among the apex predators of the primeval jungle. Hunting prey and absorbing nutrients could promote the growth of the Python Template.
A system prompt appeared before Su Heng's eyes.
At the same time, a crude status panel appeared.
First Template: Anaconda Status: Hungry Life level: 1 Vitality: 0.27 (average: 5) Bond level: 1 (the higher the Bond level, the greater the template bonus; base bonus: 30%) Length: 0.54 meters Age: 0.1 years Template trait: *Devour* (Rare: improved nutrient conversion efficiency. Through constant hunting, you can grow extremely quickly, with a very small chance of gaining new talents from prey) Note: Template traits are divided into five grades: Common, Rare, Fine, Legendary, and Epic. By consuming True Points, you can obtain rarer template traits and increase a trait's rarity.
