"Ughh ...
"Neural link matching degree 72%...severe fluctuations...increase sedatives and nerve blockers!" A cold, emotionless electronic synthesized voice echoed in the operating room, obviously coming from the monitor.
"No... you... don't even think about it..." Wen Yuan's voice was broken, yet it carried a heart-pounding, unyielding spirit that came from deep within his soul. He whipped his head around, his bloodshot eyes piercing the bright light of the shadowless lamp, and he looked directly and precisely at the corner where Wen Shifei's consciousness was!
Wen Shifei was struck by lightning! Brother...can he see her?
"Xiao... Fei..." Wen Yuan's broken lips moved, silently uttering two words. In his eyes, the pain and despair remained, yet strangely, a fire akin to madness burned, a determination to sear something into the depths of his soul! It wasn't a plea for help, but... a trust! A warning! A farewell!
"Willpower resistance...abnormally strong...synchronization rate decreased...prepare for forced mental overwrite!" The electronic sound became a little hurried.
"Ahhh!!!" Wen Yuan howled inhumanly as the pain intensified. His body twisted wildly, and the operating table groaned as it could not bear the weight. In this extreme agony, Wen Yuan's bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Wen Shifei, his lips opening and closing with difficulty, as if he was using up the last bit of his strength to scream:
"Remember... they... can take away my... body... but they can't take away... my will!"
"The key...Xiao Fei...the key...is with you..."
"My...code...beats...in your...blood..."
His words were interrupted by an even more intense surge of pain. His body jerked, like a fish out of water, then collapsed completely, his chest still rising and falling faintly. Those once bright, warm eyes slowly closed, a single tear tinged with blood slid from the corner of his eye and landed on the cold operating table.
"Forced overwrite completed. Subject 'Zero', link stable. Prepare for the next phase of bio-component implantation." A cold electronic voice announced.
The image began to flicker and distort violently. Wen Shifei watched as her brother was injected with a fluorescent green liquid, his body twitching uncontrollably; saw strange dark purple energy lines begin to emerge beneath his previously healthy skin; saw him forced into a helmet covered in electrodes, wailing silently under the powerful mental shock; saw his remaining consciousness forcibly suppressed, and when his closed eyes opened again, only a cold, inhuman purple light remained...
"No!!" Wen Shifei's consciousness finally broke free, letting out a silent, heartbreaking scream! Extreme pain, anger, and sorrow erupted like a volcano from the depths of her soul! She felt her heart being gripped and crushed by a cold hand! Her brother! The brother who would ruffle her hair, make her delicate little toys, and gently call her "Xiao Fei"! They had... transformed him alive... into Subject Zero! He had become a soulless weapon!
The illusion before my eyes was like glass shattered by a heavy hammer, instantly covered with cracks, and then collapsed with a loud bang!
"Ah!" Wen Shifei suddenly broke free from the mental illusion, lost her balance, and fell heavily backwards to the ground! The pain brought by the impact of the cold and hard ground was so real, but it was not even one ten-thousandth of the pain in her heart. Tears were like a flood that broke through the dam, blurring her vision in an instant, and an uncontrollable whimper like a wounded cub came from her throat. Her whole body was shaking violently, and her hands were tightly gripping the cold ground, and she didn't even feel her nails cracking. Her brother's last desperate and resolute look, that silent roar - "My code is beating in your blood" - was like a red-hot iron, deeply imprinted in the depths of her soul!
"Sister Wen! Sister Wen, what's wrong with you?!" Ajie's anxious voice seemed to come from far away underwater.
"That light just now...she seemed to have been attacked!" Another soldier's voice was full of vigilance.
Wen Shifei couldn't hear anything clearly. The immense grief and overwhelming anger almost consumed her. She suddenly raised her head, her bloodshot and tearful eyes fixed on the outline of the body covered in white cloth on the operating table! A crazy thought drove her - lift it up! See if there was something underneath...
"Be careful!" Ajie's exclamation suddenly became louder!
Boom——!!!
A deafening bang!
It didn't come from Wen Shifei, but from the direction of the door they had just entered!
The heavy, specially reinforced metal door panel was struck from the outside by an unimaginably terrifying force! The concrete wall surrounding the door frame was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and dust and debris fell in a shower!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A continuous, frantic thud resounded, like a hammer beating a drum! Each impact shook the entire room violently, and cracks in the wall rapidly expanded and spread! The twisted and deformed door groaned under the weight, and sparks flew from the lock!
"The Black Snake Gang! They're chasing us!" the soldier guarding the door roared, instantly aiming his energy rifle at the violently vibrating door panel and pulling the trigger without hesitation! The blinding energy beam slammed into the door panel, creating a scorch mark, but it couldn't stop the violent impact at all!
"Damn! How come it's so fast!" Ajie's face turned pale and he immediately rushed to the unconscious Lu Chenshang, trying to drag him to a relatively safe corner.
