Chapter 2 - Grim Fate

Liu Ming was a famed genius being televised as the Gen Z's Albert Einstein, he spoke his first words at 5 months, being able to walk at 6 months. He graduated high school at 14.

Liu Ming entered Harvard when he was 15, being in the top reaches of biology and biochemistry. He quickly attracted the attention of the government and then he disappeared out of the public eye.

When no news of Liu Ming was heard for 10 years, a few articles were published.

"Superheroes are real!"

"First Case of Animal like Super Soldiers: See Here"

"Has science gone too far?"

A video was leaked into the internet of super soldiers, having seemly animal-like features tear through people like paper.

The video quickly gained traction as governments all over the world put their gaze on the one responsible.

"Liu Ming, what are you doing?"

With a lean and athletic build, Liu Ming seemed to be an average height, his posture both confident and slightly hunched from hours spent engrossed in scientific pursuits as he sat in his chair. His movements are precise and deliberate, reflecting a disciplined focus honed through countless hours of experimentation and analysis.

Unruly black hair frames his pale white face, it falls in disarray over his forehead. Tousled and unkempt, his hair covers his deep-set eyes, a shade of piercing hazel, glisten with intelligence, however, something seemed odd, those eyes seemed dead, robot-like almost.

Liu Ming sits still in thought, unaware of the person speaking to him.

"Liu Ming!" an authorised voice is heard.

Liu Ming gazes up from his chair, his pupils focused.

"Yes Commander," He says in a low tone.

"You had one mission, one directive. And you failed!" Yelled the Commander.

"Well you were meant to put down those mutts Commander, I told you they weren't ready" Liu Ming responded coldly.

"We have given you enough time and funds, we need a result now!" The Commander slammed his palm into the desk in front of Liu Ming.

"This was only because the form- Liu Ming is cut off as piercing screams are heard.

BOOM...

An explosion in the lab is heard behind the Commander.

The Commander franticly radios in.

"What the f**k is going on out there!" bellowed the Commander.

"Masked armed men are storming in, we need ba- the radio goes static.

"Alpha 1 do you hear me, Alpha 1?! Damnit how have we been found, we need to get out of here"

The Commander rushes to the door but as he does he looks behind him.

"Liu Ming! Hurry up we need to go!"

Liu Ming sits calmly in his chair eyes dull and unfocused.

"Damnit" The Commander grunted, "Liu Mi- The Commander manages to say before the door behind him is blasted open as a rain of bullets cut him off and grind through his bones, piercing his eyes, torso and brain.

Fresh brain matter and blood of the Commander splat onto Liu Ming's white lab coat dying it a bright red.

"Annnddd there goes a perfectly fine coat that I just got yesterday" Liu Ming says untroubled by what just occurred.

He looks across the desk with his dead eyes over to a picture of 3 children. Then he turns his gaze to the drawer with a bright red label.

"I always hated the colour red," Liu Ming thought as he quickly and smoothly opened the drawer, as fast approaching footsteps are heard from the mist of the blown-up door.

In the drawer was a Beretta M9 and a detonator.

"I always laughed at how they had this" Turning his gaze towards the detonator with a wry grin while smoothly picking it up and pressing it, a buzzing was heard, and the laboratory's self-destruction sequence was activated.

Red lights flashed in the room.

"And I guess all that's left is to use you again" Liu Ming gazed towards the pistol picking it up and aiming it towards the door.

Bloodcurdling cries were heard, "You are a feisty one huh," He said looking down at the shredded body of the commander on the floor crawling towards him.

"He..lp me.." The Commander pleaded.

Liu Ming's dead gaze scanned his body. "No" he said.

Turning the gun on the commander and firing a couple of shots ending the screams and pleading.

Faint silhouettes slowly come through the fog.

"On second thought, ending my life like that doesn't seem too pleasing. Being shot in the eyes and torso doesn't sound to pleasing. Although I do wonder how it feels?" Liu Ming blankly thought.

The silhouettes rush through the fog, "Special armed forces huh. Oh how wonderful" Liu Ming said.

"Hands Up Now Professor Liu Ming!" The armed men shouted.

"Although it was wonderful and thrilling experience, this world is too mundane for my liking. Maybe next time put me in a body of a god, why don't you" Liu Ming gazes at the ceiling, a maniacal expression slowly creeping onto his blank face.

"Stop him!" They screamed.

"If there is life after death surely it's got to be more interesting" Liu Ming thought smiling eerily, putting the gun to his head and firing.
