Chapter 295 Deep Virtual Reality 122
The sound of footsteps echoed in the laboratory. Professor Lillian was too excited to notice anything unusual in the lab.
Zhan Lin was on edge. She looked around and saw that there was no one else except for the alien creature test subject that Professor Lillian was carrying, but she seemed to sense some danger, and her heart was beating faster and faster.
It was her intuition, and with that keen intuition, she avoided danger time and time again that could have cost her her life.
"Professor Lillian..."
Before Zhan Lin could finish speaking, Professor Lillian leaped onto the experimental table. She showed no signs of the inconvenience that people her age might have; on the contrary, she was quite agile, as if the fatigue from traveling for several hours had vanished.
"Nightshade, activate immediately..." Professor Lillian's voice trailed off. Her eyes widened in horror, her lips trembling, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
"How... how could this be...."
As Zhan Lin, who was keeping a close watch on her surroundings, was on high alert, alarm bells rang in her mind.
"Thank you for bringing me here, Professor Lillian."
The young man's slightly hoarse voice rang out, and at the same time, his well-defined knuckles gently gripped Professor Lillian's neck.
"Professor Lillian!" Just as Zhan Lin was about to leap onto the experimental table, a huge scythe swung in front of her with a "clang." If she had been half a second slower in retreating, her head would have been chopped in two.
Her gaze swept across the surroundings, and the alien experimental subjects, who had been under Lillian's control, slowly gathered around. All of them wore expressions of terror, screaming incessantly, "Professor Lillian! Quickly...control them! Quickly—ah—"
The deputy was cut in half at the waist, and blood gushed out.
At this moment, Professor Lillian's toes left the ground, her face gradually turning red, her eyes bulging, staring intently at Nightshade, "I want to, I want to destroy you..."
She had hidden the controller inside the robotic arm, but nothing happened after she activated the destruction program, and despair crept into her eyes.
Nightshade lowered his eyelashes slightly, the shadows cast by them barely concealing the mockery in his eyes. "Do you think I would still keep the self-destruct chip inside me?"
In addition to the original settings, Professor Lillian also added a self-destruct chip to him.
The doctor, who was not far away, adjusted his glasses and then calmly walked over to the alien creatures. Surprisingly, the alien creatures did not attack him.
Professor Lillian watched as Number 208 slowly glided towards her, a glimmer of hope rising in her eyes, followed by confusion. She was puzzled as to why Number 208 and the other test subjects were out of control. Although she had once shared some control with Nightshade, she had always maintained core control in her own hands.
But why...?
"Confused?" Nightshade chuckled softly.
"Professor Lillian, are you excited about the success of the experiment? It's a pity that your chip control can only control the lowest level of alien creatures. As for those... they are just obeying the stronger ones and cooperating with your act."
Number 208 ignored the dying reminiscing between the two men; his gaze fell into the shadows, and his eyes gradually turned to bloodthirsty madness.
Zhan Lin, carrying the thin crew member, crashed into the glass partition wall with a thud. A gust of wind rushed past her, making her hair stand on end. She wiped the blood from her face and saw the experimental subject, number 208, fighting with two other alien creatures that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Its level of madness far surpasses that of any experimental subject; it's practically reckless, with no defense, only endless, frenzied attacks.
"You better watch out!" Zhan Lin snapped.
This young crew member had helped her fight the mutated spiders before, so she kindly helped him back. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so kind. There were so many people here. Professor Lillian was dead, and she had to protect Director Crete. Besides, deep down, she felt that her own and her teammates' lives were the most important.
Silver Star gripped his weapon tightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He was capable of fighting, yet this person had rescued him; otherwise, the alien creature would probably have had its head pierced by him.
None of them expected this to happen. They had originally planned that if they discovered anything powerful or an experimental subject, they would destroy it immediately or bring it back to the underground city. In any case, they absolutely could not let the Federation get it.
The current situation, however, is internal strife?
At this moment, Silver Moon looked at Nightshade's back, his mind racing. He vaguely grasped something. He knew that the rebels had someone who had been lurking inside Norton Technologies, and Nightshade's betrayal made him suspicious.
He suspected that Nightshade might be that person, but Nightshade's actions at this moment puzzled him greatly, and he didn't know what Nightshade's purpose was.
The light from the projector in Nightshade's hand gradually dimmed, and the true scene inside the transparent container was gradually revealed to everyone. There was no "tree mother" left, only a withered corpse, dull and lifeless, with its snow-white skeleton wrapped in withered leaves, faintly revealing its former glory.
"Mother Tree..."
Their genes all come from here. The earlier the androids appeared, the deeper their feelings for the mother were. He was not among the first batch of androids produced, so he only had a faint feeling in his heart. It was not deep, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth, and thus a longing arose.
