344 Departure

◎Go to Utopia◎

The flying car stopped in front of the gate of Federal Research Institute No. 30.

The interior of the flying car was filled with blue light, and the automatic driving system was still on. Prometheus controlled the entire car. Because of the sandstorm on the road, the return trip would take longer than expected.

People in protective suits came forward to provide support, followed by ten people with special abilities. They were considered the sharpest team in the entire research institute.

They dared not make any mistakes and carefully transported the coffin-like storage box back, not even daring to shake it, as if it contained a bomb.

The elevator went down floor by floor, passed through checkpoint after checkpoint, and finally stopped on the 27th floor underground. It was a pure white laboratory with all kinds of distorted pollutants soaking in the petri dishes.

This is the research institute with the most investment from the Kingdom of God. All cutting-edge technologies are born here, including 0056.

The person in charge was Xie Zhen. He was wearing a pure white suit and had fair skin. From a distance, he looked bright white, except for a little blue on his temples.

Xie Zhen is not a cutting-edge scientific researcher. He is actually a spokesperson for Prometheus and also holds a position at the cleaning center headquarters. His responsibilities at the research institute are similar to those of a product manager.

Xie Zhen once gave Zhu Ning a pass to the Kingdom of God, but unfortunately, Zhu Ning did not accept his invitation. Her purpose of appearing in the Kingdom of God was not to join, but to bomb.

At this time, Xie Zhen completed the meeting with Zhu Ning in another way. When the box was opened, a chill hit his face.

Because of the low-temperature preservation, a thin layer of frost condensed on the surface of Zhu Ning's severed limbs.

Most researchers put down their work. Their institute had access to the freshest biological samples and was accustomed to all kinds of bizarre creatures, but the demon's severed limbs were still too novel.

Xie Zhen put on gloves. Someone carefully observed the cross-section of Zhu Ning's severed limb, which still contained severed internal organs, and muttered to himself, "The structure is surprisingly no different from that of a human."

When we were in school, we all took anatomy classes at the beginning and were very familiar with the body structure of ordinary people. Zhu Ning's body was very ordinary.

"Didn't you find the parasite on her?" Another person asked after scanning. "It's that black slime. Some people say it's a foreign species."

They had all seen the video of Zhu Ning fighting the Kingdom of God, which left them with a lot of information.

"It seemed as if, just a second before being chopped off, the black mucus surged upwards and gathered at the spine."

"If 0056 had hit the head, would the black mucus have gathered towards the heart?"

"That's right. What an interesting parasitic relationship. When faced with an opponent they can't defeat, they prioritize preserving themselves. It's a shame we didn't leave behind a complete specimen."

Everyone really wanted to capture Zhu Ning and study him. But no one said it out loud. After all, the last time 0056 was dispatched, it failed, so it was their responsibility.

Xie Zhen stared at Zhu Ning's severed limb. Unlike other researchers' scientific research attitude, he seemed a little intoxicated.

"Ahem," the researcher next to him reminded him, "We should proceed to the next step of the inspection."

The sooner all research starts, the better. They have no time to waste, after all, Prometheus is under great pressure.

Xie Zhen reluctantly withdrew his gaze and asked, "Can it be cloned?"

After all, he wasn't a professional, so the researcher rolled his eyes internally, but remained respectful on the surface. "It's hard to say. Alpha's difficulty has always been in his mind, not his body."

They can clone countless Zhu Ning's bodies, but they cannot clone his soul.

The control of 0056 is in the hands of Prometheus. Without complete autonomous consciousness, it is at a disadvantage in combat.

The researcher admired Zhu Yao very much. He sighed and thought, it would be great if he had a brain sample.

Their laboratory initially stole experimental data from Yongsheng Pharmaceutical, and used this as the foundation for its subsequent development. Even the naming methods are basically the same. The Alpha series experiment also has number 0056, but their research directions are very different.

Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals is researching saviors, they are researching weapons, the Federation hopes that more advanced weapons will be developed, and the crisis of the Kingdom of God is imminent.

The battle between 0056 and Zhu Ning seemed to the institute like a functional showdown between the products of the two camps, and they lost last time.

A clear video of the confrontation between Zhu Ning and 0056 was played on the screen. Prometheus recorded it so that they could accurately analyze the shortcomings.

With the information about the opponent, a plan to improve the latest weapons has been made.

…

Flying fish line supply station.

Zhu Ning slept for three whole days, doing nothing but sleeping.

The other team members were infected by her, and the whole team entered koala mode, doing nothing but eating and sleeping. Lao Zhao has gotten used to it now, and even appreciates this style. How great it is to be able to eat and sleep at the same time.

Moreover, Lao Zhao felt that Bai Cheng was very strange. They went out that night and came back with a body bag on his back. Another head was placed on Bai Cheng's neck. The contrast between the two heads was creepy.

On the morning of the fourth day, Zhu Ning was about to set off again. Lao Zhao got up to see him off and generously gave him some instant meals and canned food that would not easily expire.

The flying car was repaired and a function to cope with extreme temperatures was added. Lin Xiaofeng left his contact information with the maintenance worker at the supply station so that he could consult him if he had any questions in the future. Zhu Ning guessed that Lin Xiaofeng's biggest dream might be to open a car repair shop.

Zhu Ning was a little reluctant to set off again. If it weren't for the mission, he wouldn't want to leave the flying fishing line. He hugged Lao Zhao before leaving.

Old Zhao's voice was inexplicably choked with sobs, "You should leave now."

Pei Shu couldn't help laughing, thinking that Lao Zhao would cry the next second, so he went up to hug him. Lao Zhao whispered, "It's fine."

Pei Shu patted Lao Zhao on the shoulder, and Bai Cheng took the initiative to stand in line behind Pei Shu, thinking that this might be some ancient custom.

After Old Zhao hugged Pei Shu, he and Bai Cheng looked at each other. Bai Cheng had no expression on her face. She raised her arms like a doll, waiting for Old Zhao to hug her.

Old Zhao understood Bai Cheng's intention and stepped forward stiffly, not even knowing where to start. He suddenly hugged her tightly, trying not to look at her other head. Unfortunately, they were too close, and the other head was almost touching Old Zhao's face, only five centimeters away.

Bai Cheng's head...was smiling at him, that mechanical, emotionless smile.

Old Zhao has traveled a lot and seen a lot, but he still broke out in a cold sweat and immediately jumped away after the hug.

Bai Cheng was very satisfied, as if he had completed a mysterious ritual. Lin Xiaofeng had already jumped into the driver's seat, eager to drive. She added some new features and optimized some systems.

The pink ornaments inside the car shook, and the speeder took off.

When they took off, other flying cars landed, and the flying fish line outside the north wall was quite busy.

The flying fish line is very long. In addition to those who are transferred to the north, large-scale expedition teams will also open their own supply stations here, which are equivalent to the convenience stores opened at gas stations at highway intersections.

After leaving the supply station, Pei Shu did not knit a sweater, but stared outside the car, as if he was on standby at any time. Bai Cheng was similar. It seemed that what was going to happen next would be very dangerous.

There was a wasteland below the flying fish line. The journey took about an hour. Time seemed to stand still in the wasteland, but the wasteland did not last long. Zhu Ning frowned.

She had only seen it in movies before, and this was her first time seeing it up close.

Below is a deep black pit, even emitting heat waves. It was not formed naturally, but was caused by human bombing.

It can be vaguely seen that this was a city in the past. Weapons of mass destruction were thrown from above, forming a huge circular pit with very clear edges and collapsed houses on the outside.

Zhu Ning has memories of the zombie world in her mind. In her impression, when the doomsday begins, each country will try to save itself, and long-range bombing with weapons is a common choice.

Humans at that stage were generally naive, thinking that indiscriminate bombing and sacrificing some humans would preserve others.

But the ruins in the wasteland world were more terrifying than anything Zhu Ning had ever seen. Not to mention intact houses, even broken walls and ruins were rare. When weapons bombed, some humans were vaporized or turned into scorched earth along with the houses.

No wonder it’s a completely different world across the Flying Fish Line. In the area south of the Flying Fish Line that Zhu Ning had been through, at least the basic buildings are still preserved.

The polluted area has similarities with the area inside the wall. Human civilization continues in the polluted world, and the thinking logic is similar.

Outside the Flying Fish Line, human cities and civilizations have been destroyed. This is a completely post-war land, and the thinking logic may be very different.

Pei Shu spoke at the right moment: "It is said that there was once a large-scale pollution attack on the city, and spiritual pollution also had a simultaneous impact."

Zhu Ning imagined a huge monster attacking humans, but unfortunately there was no savior, so in order to kill the monster, he could only throw weapons.

"This should be the remains of that time. Humanity was able to evacuate into the Federation because we artificially created a safety line."

Concentrate weapons bombardment and temporarily maintain a safe distance, so that vehicles such as the Homecoming can operate.

What they saw were the remains of a wasteland, evidence of humanity's past struggle for survival.

Zhu Ning listened to Pei Shu's explanation and thought that it was possible for historical data to be completely destroyed. This was basically physical annihilation. Not to mention the complete data, humans as information carriers would be dead.

The flying car has an air purification system that filters the outside air, but everyone can faintly smell the smell of gunpowder.

The land remains in its devastated state, never rebuilt, and heat waves continue to rise from the ground.

Lin Xiaofeng raised the flying car as high as possible, and water mist was automatically sprayed on the top of the car body, and the cooling system was turned on, but it evaporated as soon as it was sprayed.

Zhu Ning was thinking, she couldn't help but lean forward and look down through the car window.

White smoke is rising from the surface of the ruins, and the surface temperature exceeds 200 degrees. Most creatures cannot survive here, and the place remains in a scorched earth state all year round.

There were dense black spots on the top of the scorched earth. Zhu Ning thought he was dazzled at first, but after zooming in on the image, he could see that they were black spheres, very much like suspended mercury.

Zhu Ning asked, "What is this?"

"We call it a swarm of water droplets," Bai Cheng said. "One touch will kill you. Compared to high temperatures, a swarm of water droplets is more lethal. It passes through your body like a bullet, and then you vaporize. There's not even a corpse left."

Zhu Ning asked, "Alive?"

"It seems so," Bai Cheng said. "Someone has observed that there seems to be an intention of a group attack. And it's not just in this area. We have seen it in other ruins as well. It's just that this area is the most concentrated. It is recognized as the largest group of water droplets."

At this point, Bai Cheng glanced at Pei Shu. Pei Shu said, "Investigator, we have the same information."

It seems that no more water drop groups have discovered it, so Bai Cheng feels relieved.

Regarding this kind of area, people who live outside the wall all year round are advised to synchronize relevant information. Once people fall in, they cannot resist and cannot find the source of pollution.

No one dared to go in except for powerful defensive psychics.

Pei Shu asked Lin Xiaofeng to raise the front of the car as high as possible and maintain a sufficient flying altitude. Without being reminded, Lin Xiaofeng felt that the car was simply lifted up by the heat wave and he had to be careful to stabilize the car body.

Pei Shu added: "The height of the water droplet cluster is increasing year by year. We suspect that as pollution worsens, the current flight altitude will be submerged sooner or later. By then, the North China Diversion Project will be basically useless..."

Buzz——

Pei Shu wanted to say something more, but he choked on the last word. His body stiffened. Zhu Ning and Bai Cheng also got goosebumps all over their bodies and their teeth chattered. Except for Lin Xiaofeng, who had never seen Liu Yu's work, everyone who had seen it moved in sync.

They were like puppets, their eyes out of focus, staring blankly ahead, as if their bodies were suddenly taken over by some strange existence. A bunch of black lines appeared in their minds, and the lines gradually unfolded to form a messy road.

To Utopia, the devil whispered, to Utopia.
