Chapter 28: Fire, the Cause of Parents' Death

[Good morning, dear player "Ke Mingqing." Today is Wednesday, July 4, 2026. The time remaining for the "Extinct Superhuman" mission is: 177 days and 16 hours.]

Ke Mingqing opened his eyes and slowly looked up at the clock on the wall.

The hour hand had already landed on eight o'clock. A warm summer breeze blew in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The scorching sunlight left him drenched in sweat, and the cicadas in the trees were chirping as if their lives depended on it.

He sat up, tugged at the collar of his T-shirt, and turned on the standing fan next to him with a CLICK.

The college entrance exams still had one day left, so the first-year high school students still didn't have to attend classes today. As he washed his face and brushed his teeth, he opened the main mission panel to take a look.
