Chapter 50 Who? The stalker appears!
"boom--"
Xiaobai kicked the door of the ancestral hall open, and rotten wood chips flew everywhere.
A damp and musty smell hit me in the face, but it was covered by the more pungent smell of burning metal.
"It's too quiet..." Tang Jingmo put his hand on his pistol, his mental power spreading out like a spider web, "Something's wrong!"
Three flashlight beams crossed and finally stopped in the center of the ancestral hall.
A streamlined silver-grey instrument was in operation, with faint blue light patterns flowing on its surface.
Biological catheters extended from both ends of it, one end pierced into the back of Yang Xueying's neck, and the other end... connected to Yang Zhongxiu who was lying on the ground!
At this moment, his face was pale and his right hand had been burned and carbonized, growing together with the instrument.
"Save...me..." He uttered with difficulty, his eyes full of the desire to survive.
"This..." The flashlight in Gu Zhongzhang's hand fell to the ground with a "click", but his other hand instinctively pressed the shutter of the miniature camera.
"What the hell is this? I thought it was a performance of 'shaman dance'!"
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place!" Tang Jingmo glanced at Yang Zhongxiu and lowered his head to study the numbers on the machine's dashboard.
"Where is the Cang Lao you mentioned hiding? At this point, do you still want to help him hide it?"
Xiao Bai looked down at Yang Zhongxiu and said, "If you behave yourself, I can give you a quick death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xueying, who was not far away, suddenly twitched and raised her head, her mechanical blue pupils dilated to the limit.
Two blue lights shot out from her eyes, interweaving in the air to form a three-dimensional map—
The three-dimensional model of Tangshan urban area is clearly visible, with seven buildings marked in red, forming the shape of the Big Dipper.
Above the Big Dipper flashed blood-red numbers: 1976.7.28 03:42
"In 1976..." Xiaobai's palm suddenly felt hot.
"Hiss!" Xiaobai clenched his right hand -
The S01 symbol appeared on the palm again, resonating with the holographic map, emitting the same red light!
Tang Jingmo's fingertips lightly touched the surface of the instrument, and the information sensed by his mental power made his pupils shrink suddenly: "Nanoscale circuits, quantum computing modules..."
He turned his head sharply, "Quantum tunneling effect... This is a space-time locator!"
The small white vine pierced into the gap of the instrument and pried open the outer shell with a "click" - the familiar LOGO was engraved on the internal parts -
【NA 2170】
"Warning! Core exposed... Starting cleanup procedure..."
Yang Xueying's body suddenly stiffened and a mechanical sound came out of her throat.
Circuit board-like patterns appeared under her skin, and sharp metal claws popped out from her fingertips with a "click"!
"Dad... run..." Her remaining humanity was struggling. She took one last look at Yang Zhongxiu lying on the ground, tears mixed with blood slid down her cheeks, "It's not the system... it's..."
Before she finished speaking, Yang Xueying twisted her head at an angle that violated ergonomics, and her mechanical blue pupils locked onto Xiao Bai.
"Detected...S01...Eliminate!"
The ground of the ancestral hall suddenly rolled like waves, the blue bricks shattered, revealing the gleaming metal structure underneath.
Gu Zhongzhang was accidentally hit by flying blue brick fragments and fainted.
The small white vines sprang up suddenly, and the emerald green vines wrapped around the beam like a snake, with the other end wrapping around Gu Zhongzhang's waist.
Tang Jingmo's mental barrier instantly unfolded, and a light blue light shield protected the three of them.
Twelve dazzling beams of light broke through the ground and shot straight into the sky.
In the beam of light, a streamlined aircraft slowly rose up - with a silver-white shell and a central energy core emitting a cold blue light.
"Spiritual Flood Dragon T1 to T12..." Tang Jingmo's voice tightened, "Hunter in the base!"
"Hahaha! S01! I finally found you!"
The walls of the ancestral hall suddenly lit up, and the dilapidated bricks and wood disappeared like a phantom, replaced by a surround holographic screen.
On the screen, Canglao's young face, which was completely inconsistent with his voice, appeared in every corner at the same time.
The small white vines "whoosh" and shattered the nearest piece of screen, but the fragments turned into light spots and dissipated.
"It's useless," Cang Lao's image turned sideways, revealing the laboratory behind him, which was full of rows of "novices"!
"You cloned me?!" The vines suddenly grew dozens of times larger and shattered the screen again.
Unfortunately, the screen broke and then put back together.
"I originally prepared a clone to replace you..." Cang Lao stroked the transparent nutrition capsules one by one.
"Now that we have caught the real culprit, these defective products..."
He raised his hand and pressed the destroy button, and the cabin was instantly filled with blue flames. "It is unnecessary for it to exist. A perfect work must be unique!"
As the blue flames ignited, Yang Xueying let out a shrill scream, her body melted like wax, and eventually turned into a pool of blood.
In the pool of blood, a diamond-shaped fragment glowing blue slowly rose up.
Yang Zhongxiu suddenly opened his eyes, turning a blind eye to his daughter's death, and stared greedily at the fragments.
"Finally I get to see your true face. Come, come to me! I will provide you with energy and be your best host."
Yang Zhongxiu's facial features were distorted and his face was full of madness.
"Ignorant and stupid low-level carbon-based creatures!"
Cang Lao pressed a key, and the instrument connected to Yang Zhongxiu flashed with a strong light, and a pungent smell filled the air around him -
Yang Xiuzhong was directly carbonized!
"Who are you?" Tang Jingmo's voice was as cold as ice, and his mental power formed visible ripples around his body.
"Using Yang Zhongxiu's plan just to lure us out?"
His fingertips trembled slightly - not with fear, but with anger.
He was angry at his own carelessness that led him to fall into the other party's trap, and even more angry at the other party for daring to treat Xiaobai as prey.
The old man in the holographic image grinned, revealing his metallic teeth:
"Smart! You are worthy of being the youngest law enforcement officer in our base. Even if you change to a low-level body, you can still restore your mental strength to its peak state. What a pity..."
The image suddenly turned to Xiao Bai, his eyes were so greedy that it was sickening:
"S01, do you know that in order to find you, the Noah Research Institute turned the past five hundred years from 2175 upside down..."
The suspended blue fragments suddenly flickered, and as the light patterns flowed, it seemed as if a pair of eyes were staring at Xiaobai.
"I never thought..."
Canglao's voice suddenly froze, and the holographic image distorted for a moment.
Xiaobai’s pupils suddenly shrank—now!
Tang Jingmo and Xiaobai attacked at the same time.
The dark green vines that were attached with spiritual power pouncing on their prey were like a cheetah, but they did not attack Cang Lao. Instead, they rolled up the debris in the air with one end and went straight for the control terminal in the corner of the ancestral hall with the other end!
"You old coward," Xiao Bai sneered, "Why don't you try something exciting?"
"Boom!"
The core chip shattered, and the holographic projection exploded like a bubble. The real Cang Lao staggered out, standing just three steps behind Yang Zhongxiu!
"You!" Cang Lao's face was distorted and his mechanical eyes flashed red.
The energy cannons of twelve Lingjiao aircraft were locked onto Xiaobai.
The red death light intertwined into a web, instantly vaporizing the attacking vines.
"Do you think you can win? The game has just begun!" Cang Lao's mechanical arm popped up the control panel, "Your authority will soon belong to me!"
The moment the death beam pressed down, Tang Jingmo's mental shield shattered.
Xiaobai knelt on one knee, and the stone slab cracked into spider-web-like cracks.
Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, but it couldn't hide the ferocity in her eyes.
