Open the Ark...Reconstruct a new era...
The devil's whispers echoed deep in the consciousness, with a hypnotic power.
Just when his consciousness was about to completely sink, and be completely covered and devoured by the cold will called "worm" -
An extremely faint, yet extremely clear syllable, like a meteor that suddenly broke through the silence in the darkness, violently piercing into the core of his chaotic consciousness!
"Zero…"
Who? Who's calling? This voice... filled with endless fear, despair, and... a familiarity etched deep into his bones? Like a red-hot needle, it pierced the dying embers of Lu Chen's soul!
Qingyi?!
This name was like thunder, exploding in the abyss of his numb consciousness! Along with this name, a fragmented yet incredibly vivid picture emerged: the girl's stubborn eyes, the coolness of her fingertips as she pressed the alloy hairpin into Wen Shifei's hand, and... her last heartbreaking cry before falling as the edge of the fortress exploded!
Qingyi! She...she's in danger?!
No! ! !
A will to resist and protect, emanating from the very essence of life, almost like a beast, erupted like the lava at the core of a dormant volcano, deep within Lu Chen's soul, ravaged by both drugs and pain! This will was so strong, so pure, that it instantly broke through the viscous constraints of the "resonance agent"!
“Ugh—!!!” Inside the lab, Lu Cheneng’s body, tightly restrained on the metal platform, suddenly arched back with a far more violent force than before! The veins on his neck and forehead bulged like twisted earthworms, nearly bursting through his skin! His only remaining right eye fluttered open, its eyeball bloodshot, but the pupil no longer held a sparse despair, but burned with an almost insane rage that wanted to incinerate everything!
"Warning! The target's consciousness is resisting violently! The strength of the neural connection is fluctuating abnormally! The mental pollution index has exceeded the safety threshold!" The cold electronic synthesized voice suddenly became sharp and piercing, and several indicator lights on the console flashed dazzling red lights wildly!
"What?!" The ecstasy on Dr. Heisen's face froze in an instant, transforming into unbelievable shock and anger! He rushed to the control console, watching the curve on the screen representing Lu Chen's brainwave activity jump wildly like a mad python. Inside the mithril left arm, the dark purple "worm" protoplasm pattern seemed to be violently stimulated, twisting and expanding wildly, and engaging in a fierce energy conflict with the silvery-white "legacy" metal base. The dark radiation light flickered!
"Impossible! The 'resonance agent' should have suppressed his self-awareness! Increase the dosage! Inject the highest concentration of neural inhibitors! Suppress him!" Heisen roared hysterically, his fingers operating frantically on the virtual interface.
However, it was too late.
Driven by the violent will to protect Qingyi, Lu Cheneng's remaining consciousness seemed to have found a way to vent. He no longer resisted blindly, but with a madness of destroying himself and himself, he actively crashed into the cold, chaotic, and destructive will of the "worm" deep in Miyin's left arm!
Boom——!!!
It was as if two universes collided within the depths of his consciousness! A boundless torrent of chaos and destruction instantly drowned his remaining sanity! But within this torrent, a cold, pure force, imbued with inhuman logic, unexpectedly resonated with his obsession to protect... some strange kind of resonance? No, more like plunder! The will of the "worm," like a shark smelling blood, instantly captured the extremely strong "Qingyi" signal within Lu Chen's entropy, as well as the spatial coordinates pointing to its source! A torrent of icy thoughts, filled with a greedy, devouring desire, surged out along the neural connection in the opposite direction!
"No! Stop! The link is out of control! The 'worm's' will is corroding the main control program! It's... it's actively searching for external signals?!" Heisen looked at the madly jumping data stream on the screen and the control interface that was instantly covered by a large amount of purple pollution code. The blood color on his face instantly faded, and for the first time, real fear appeared in his eyes!
Buzz——!!!
Lu Cheneng's raised mithril left arm suddenly erupted with an unprecedented, dark purple light, like a miniature sun! The light penetrated the thick walls of the laboratory! The cracks on his arm opened and closed like the mouth of a living abyss, expanding wildly! A dark purple viscous substance gushed out like boiling asphalt, enveloping his entire arm and even beginning to corrode the connected instruments along the neural probe and infusion catheter! The cold metal casing of the instrument was instantly corroded and melted, emitting a terrifying sizzling sound!
"Alarm! Energy overflow! Isolation system failure! Experimental subject...experimental subject is out of control!" The shrill alarm sounded throughout the entire Hive Laboratory!
Lu Chencheng's body convulsed violently on the platform, his throat emitting a terrifying howl that was not human, a mixture of pain and some inhuman scream. Deep in the pupil of his right eye, a cold purple light suddenly lit up like a beacon from hell! And in the boundless chaos and destruction, his consciousness finally grasped a clear, cold spatial coordinate: the edge of Area B-7, the abandoned air filtration unit!
Qingyi... is there!
"Go! Go quickly!" Wen Shifei's hoarse roar echoed in the narrow, steep, spiraling metal staircase. The echoes with the smell of rust overlapped, like the urging of a ghost.
The steps beneath his feet were covered in slippery moss and rusted protrusions. Every step was accompanied by a terrifying creaking sound and a dull rumble from the abyss beneath his feet. The air was as stagnant as solidified colloid, and every breath carried the thick smell of rust dust and the pungent chemical coolant from an old pipe leak, burning his throat and lungs. The only light he received was the weak headlamp on Rick's helmet. The beam flickered on the mottled walls, covered in water stains and rust, casting distorted and swaying shadows like pursuing evil spirits.
