Survival Rules

Enemy and friend

October 15, 2026. At 11:30 p.m., something resembling a shooting star inexplicably appeared in the sky. People thought it was a meteorite, but it did not fall and harm anyone.

On October 28th, a story about human nature begins: betrayal or trust?

Wherever Zhang Yixing stayed, there was always a voice in his ear telling him, "The world is about to change."

In this chaotic world, borders have blurred, a consequence of nature's retribution. The world's crossroads and pathways have been destroyed. People are in turmoil, and science museums have yet to find a solution. The current situation resembles the apocalypse described in books.

Kim Junmyeon was looking up information at the science museum when a noise came from outside.

"Oh no! Oh no! Someone has blown up the escape route of the science museum!" said an ordinary employee of the science museum.

"Who dares to cause trouble at the science museum?" Kim Junmyeon said expressionlessly.

"No...I don't know, I didn't see anyone."

"Could you check the security footage to see who it was?" Kim Minseok suddenly asked.

The employee stammered again, "The cameras...they're all gone."

"Minseok, what are your thoughts on this?"

"Captain, as you know, I generally don't have any opinions about things unless they affect me."

The science museum was founded by Kim Junmyeon when Earth retaliated against humanity, and the other members basically work there as well. However, they don't seem to value the science museum very much. If someone blows up the science museum, it has nothing to do with them, as long as it doesn't harm them.

Those inside the dormitory could clearly feel the riot outside.

Kim Jongin went to the balcony to check the situation outside.

People were running around in a panic, some children were crying, and toddlers were crawling on the ground. Kim Jongin frowned as he watched all this.

"What happened?" Kim Jongdae asked.

"There's been a riot outside," Kim Jongin said coldly, as if everything outside was none of his business.

"Thank goodness, you're all still here," Park Chanyeol said breathlessly as he returned from outside.

Park Chanyeol approached the two of them.

"There have been inexplicable riots outside. Buildings have started collapsing in Shanghai, China, and Ilsan has fallen. Seoul will be next soon. We need to get here now; we can't stay here any longer."

The group left in a car.

"Aren't you afraid of all of them dying if you go to such extremes?" a cold voice rang out.

“Humans aren’t that fragile. Besides, it’s exciting, isn’t it?” X-Chanyeol said.

"I have to say, your methods are really..." X-KAI said helplessly.

"If this is considered ruthless, then there will be even more ruthless things to come."

Park Chanyeol, Kim Jongin, and Kim Jongdae arrived at their destination.

"Everyone's here, let's get down to business," Byun Baekhyun said, sitting on the sofa, his eyes unfocused, seemingly staring at something.

"The escape route to the science museum was blown up," Kim Junmyeon said.

"It got bombed? Did you offend someone?"

Kim Junmyeon shook his head.

Kim Jongin glanced at Oh Sehun sitting in the corner, whose head was down, seemingly lost in thought.

At that moment, lightning flashed in the sky.

Park Chanyeol walked to the window and looked out. He wasn't sure if he hadn't seen it clearly or if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but he clearly saw something in the sky that looked like a shooting star from a few days ago.

"This can't go on. Let's split up," Zhang Yixing suddenly said.

Where do you think we can escape to?

"I don't know, but we can't stay together to search for a way to save humanity, it's too slow, so we've separated some people first."

"I think this is fine; I choose to be alone."

"Alone? I wonder what Chanyeol is up to?" Oh Sehun looked at Park Chanyeol coldly.

Park Chanyeol remained expressionless, looking down at Oh Sehun, "Naturally, I'm afraid you guys will hold me back."

"Now is not the time to argue, and I'm not worried about any of you, since everyone should be capable enough by now."

Kim Junmyeon's words were loaded with meaning, and everyone present understood them.

"Yes, I wonder what everyone's abilities are like? I'm really looking forward to it."

“Of course I’m better than you,” Do Kyungsoo said coldly.

Park Chanyeol stared at Do Kyungsoo, and no one would forget that look in his eyes. Everyone present could clearly see that Park Chanyeol harbored murderous intent towards Do Kyungsoo.

"Is a fight about to break out?" Byun Baekhyun asked after a long silence.

"Of course not, after all, none of you are worthy."

As he spoke, Park Chanyeol left alone. Kim Junmyeon sighed. They had all changed, to the point that sometimes they didn't even recognize themselves anymore. How could he blame Park Chanyeol for becoming so different?

Park Chanyeol was walking down a road. He could feel someone following him, but he wasn't afraid. When he looked out the window at something that looked like a shooting star, he felt like he shared a heart with someone else.

“You’ve finally come… my… comrade.” X-Chanyeol suddenly appeared in front of Park Chanyeol.

"Speak, what do you want?" Park Chanyeol showed no fear whatsoever.

Aren't you curious why I'm here?

"Now that you've already shown up, there's really no point in asking this question."

Then, Park Chanyeol looked at the person in front of him. "You just said 'comrade-in-arms'? What did you mean by that?"

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is X-Chanyeol, and I'll be your comrade-in-arms from now on. That means I'll be saving the world with you."

Park Chanyeol smiled. "Really? I have a feeling your purpose in coming here is rather unusual."

"It's certainly extraordinary, but it depends on how you interpret it."

At that moment, flames appeared around X-Chanyeol. Park Chanyeol squinted as he watched, his superpower being the same as his own.

"Is he trying to show off his abilities? I'm not afraid!" Park Chanyeol's aura suddenly changed.

"It seems you still don't realize the gravity of the situation. You should just die."

X-Chanyeol came to find Park Chanyeol with the intention of killing him, but he also wanted to use Park Chanyeol to kill the other members. Unfortunately, Park Chanyeol, who should have known this, pretended not to understand.

If you kill Park Chanyeol, and then kill the other members, then there will only be X-EXO in this world, and they might even live on in place of the other members.
