A group of survivors in eastern China find themselves in the eye of the storm as the world teeters on the brink of destruction. They know only too well the devastating effects of the unexplained anomaly that has caused widespread destruction and chaos. The air is thick with fear as they witness the grotesque consequences of being caught in its grip - exploding heads, melting bodies, and disappearing organs are common sights. Despite their terror, these resilient individuals band together, driven by a desperate hope for survival and perhaps a chance to understand the mysterious force that threatens to consume them all.
The three survivors huddle in the abandoned warehouse. Their eyes wide with fear and uncertainty, they exchange nervous glances. The pregnant teenager, Xiang Ling, shivered as she clutched her swollen belly, clearly terrified by the unseen threat lurking outside. The two male teenagers, Xiu Shin and Lay Wong, tried to comfort her as they struggled with their own panic.
Lay Wong turned to Xiang Ling, sensing her desperation for answers. "Listen, we need to stay calm and figure this out," he said reassuringly. "We're looking for more survivors or information about what's happening." He introduced himself and the others before asking about their encounter with the deadly mist.
"I saw these things killing people," Xiang Ling repeated, her voice shaking. "They seemed to be attracted to loud noises and bright lights. That's why I ran here." She looked around the dimly lit warehouse and realized how vulnerable they were.
Unable to contain his fear Xiu Shin began rocking back and forth, muttering incoherently about the fog. Lay Wong put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "It's okay, man. We'll find a way to protect ourselves," he said firmly.
Turning to Xiang Ling, Lay Wong asked, "Do you think there's anything special you can tell us about yourself or your baby?" He knew it was a sensitive subject, but they needed all the information they could get to survive this nightmare.
Xiang Ling hesitated, unsure if sharing this information would put them all in more danger. But she understood the importance of their alliance and decided to trust them. "My baby... it's different," she revealed, her voice barely above a whisper. "I've been having strange dreams about proliferating as if it's developing faster than normal." She looked down at her bloated belly, wondering if there was any truth to her dreams.
Lay Wong and Xiu Shin exchanged worried glances. This information could change everything. "Are you sure?" Lay Wong asked, his voice filled with curiosity and trepidation. "How much faster do you mean?"
Xiang Ling shrugged, her eyes filled with uncertainty. "I don't know exactly. It's hard to tell in my dreams.
The survivors exchanged panicked glances as the desperate banging at the warehouse door continued. Their only option seemed to be to escape through the rear window, despite the risks involved. Lay Wong urged them to act quickly, emphasizing that staying put was no longer an option.
Xiang Ling hesitated, her eyes wide with fear as she looked down at her swollen belly. She was eight months pregnant, making it even more dangerous for her to escape. Xiu Shin cursed under his breath, realizing the added complication.
"We'll be careful," Lay Wong assured her, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "We'll make sure nothing happens to you or your baby." He turned to Xiu Shin. "Ready?" Without waiting for an answer, he bolted to the back of the warehouse and headed straight for the window.
Lay Wong's eyes hardened as he listened to Xiu Shin's suggestion, knowing it was born of fear and desperation. He couldn't bring himself to abandon Xiang Ling, especially considering her vulnerable state. Instead, he decided to take control of the situation.
Without warning, Lay Wong slapped Xiang Ling across the face. He knocked her unconscious. He felt a pang of guilt but knew it was for her protection. "I'm sorry," he murmured, his voice full of regret. "But you'll be our bait."
