384 Control
◎Take my eyes first◎
Zhu Ning felt an excruciating pain on his back. Prometheus was not only attached to the giant's spine, but also to his own spine.
She once lost half of her body. Prometheus's laboratory broke through the accurate body structure of the Alpha series, peeled off the artificial muscle layer, and the venom seeped in.
The black slime swallowing and Pei Shu's flames could not catch up with the speed of Prometheus' invasion. This thing infected instantly like poison.
The mycelium broke one after another under the burning, and the overly thick mycelium exploded like dynamite. Zhu Ning kept hearing explosions all around him. That was the resistance of Lin Xiaofeng and Bai Cheng.
The poison gas was destroying Zhu Ning's neural network, reaching from one protruding neuron to another. Her neural network gradually turned black and her body became somewhat paralyzed.
Zhu Ning half-knelt, supporting her body with her right hand. She did not simply accept the attack, but was always looking for opportunities to fight back.
Zhu Ning understood Prometheus' logic. He was a mushroom left underground in Utopia, and mushrooms could only attach to big trees.
The skeleton of the giant below is the source of nutrition. Zhu Ning needs to find the main root of Prometheus before he dies and then eliminate it completely.
Zhu Ning was extremely grateful that he had eaten enough contaminated spores, otherwise he would not be able to sustain such a large-scale consumption. The black giant that had just been retrieved was released again.
The giant formed by the black slime forms a certain contrast with the skeleton of the giant below, as if it is a soul emerging from the corpse to resist the common enemy.
[Blessings.] Prometheus' voice suddenly rang out, so cold and indifferent.
They have reached the point where you are in me and I am in you, like two colors of liquid mixed in a glass of water, which can no longer be distinguished.
[You shouldn't have come.] Prometheus added, "The situation outside the wall is so complex that it's difficult to track someone down, but Zhu Ning happened to walk into an ambush."
"Bai Cheng!" Prometheus' words sounded like a threat, or like a host announcing an upcoming play. Zhu Ning heard Pei Shu's roar, and her eyes moved with difficulty.
In the distance, Bai Cheng's body was completely submerged in white mycelium, wrapped into a human-shaped embryo. Prometheus had strangled her like an eagle hooking a rabbit with its sharp claws.
Zhu Ning's heart trembled, as if he knew what was going to happen.
A little fiery red light leaked out from the middle of the wrapped Bai Cheng. Pei Shuben was moving forward to support, but when he realized what Bai Cheng wanted to do, he hugged Lin Xiaofeng and suddenly rushed back.
The next moment, there was a loud bang, and the hot bomb exploded, along with the body of No. 5 Bai Cheng.
Her body, which was intact just a second ago, was now shattered into pieces. Zhu Ning only felt a wave of heat coming towards her, as well as the scattered body parts of her teammates, and she couldn't even find her plastic heart.
This is a necessary choice. The poison gas and mycelium invade Bai Cheng's body, and she will quickly become a puppet of Prometheus. She will not be able to control her hands, and her limbs will be pulled by invisible forces, and then she will swing the knife at her teammates.
Bai Cheng always makes the most advantageous choice without hesitation for a second.
If you can't put up a good fight, don't drag down your teammates.
Pei Shu was wrapped in flames, but he felt a chill in his heart. Death was like dominoes falling one by one.
But unlike the agreement, after Bai Cheng's death, the next one was not Pei Shu, but Lin Xiaofeng.
Pei Shu's special fire system has a natural advantage, and the mycelium cannot invade his nerves, but Lin Xiaofeng is different.
She has a congenital weakness, which is insufficient defense. Song Zhizhang taught her how to strengthen her defense, but that is ultimately an external force rather than her own ability.
White mycelium wrapped around Lin Xiaofeng's neck, pushed into the cracks in her helmet, and pierced her fragile neck.
Blood was oozing from the invisible person's body, like a drop of blood falling into the sea, about to dye her body red.
Pei Shu no longer cared. He wanted to burn the mycelium on Lin Xiaofeng's body, but he could only burn the surface and not the spirit. Prometheus entered Lin Xiaofeng's body.
Lin Xiaofeng was only ten years old, but she knew what she should do. She also held up the explosives in her hand. They were very old-fashioned weapons that were collected from the ground. They even required the iron ring on top to be pulled open.
She couldn't imagine herself attacking Zhu Ning, nor could she imagine herself becoming a hostage used by Prometheus to threaten Zhu Ning.
Pei Shu grabbed Lin Xiaofeng's hand to stop her from doing anything stupid, but the other party was a person with great strength and it was easy for him to push him away.
Don't die, these two words filled Pei Shu's mind. Lin Xiaofeng was only ten years old. There couldn't be direct shots of children dying in movies. She couldn't die here like this.
Pei Shu pounced on Lin Xiaofeng's hand again, but this time she stopped herself, as if an invisible thread controlled her.
Prometheus had taken over her body.
History repeats itself. It was the same back then. The team was defeated in a second, and Prometheus took control of the situation and completed the purge within ten minutes.
And the dead don't even know why.
…
Bai Cheng was the first to self-destruct.
The choice she made at that time was somewhat contagious. The enemy's attack method was too special, and those who were familiar with the human-machine joint device knew that they had been making a deal with the devil all along.
Being controlled by Prometheus countless times, and the fact that there have been no accidents does not mean that there will never be any accidents.
This is included in employee training, and there is a very small probability that this combination of artificial intelligence and pollutants will rebel.
What should we do at this time? The training officer gave the answer that we should voluntarily give up our own lives, because at the moment of Prometheus's rebellion, the person being manipulated is actually dead, so it is better to end it early.
They had gone through untold hardships to reach Utopia, and not long ago they were still immersed in the joy of discovering a new world. Now they had to choose to end their own life or end it passively.
The suicide bombings began, the scythe of death swung, and people fell one after another.
Below the giant's womb, such a holy place, an extremely bloody massacre began and explosions sounded one after another.
What’s even more terrifying is that everyone noticed that poisonous gas was spreading.
Zhu Yao is just an ordinary person. She has no special abilities and has not received any training. Even though she has an arrogant personality, she will definitely panic when facing great danger.
She was protected at the first moment by Huo Huaiying who was standing in front of her. She had been walking outside the wall for many years and was as capable as a soldier.
Huo Huaiying's prediction had a certain foresight. She raised her hand and immediately shot and killed a puppet that had been controlled. Her face was expressionless, and the temperament exuded by her action when shooting was extremely cold.
But Zhu Yao's mind was buzzing and in chaos at the time.
She didn't understand why Prometheus rebelled and what his purpose was.
Huo Huaiying has the ability of prediction. She doesn't know how this ability works specifically, but she has used Huo Huaiying's foresight on the road, and usually makes the most correct choice early on, helping them avoid several disasters. Why did Huo Huaiying not predict the explosion until thirty seconds before it happened this time?
Did he really just predict this? Zhu Yao's pupils shrank, and her throat was tightly clenched with fear. She thought of Huo Huaiying's abnormality.
After entering Utopia, she was extremely silent, which was uncharacteristic of her, so she had predicted it long ago and was just heading towards her predetermined fate.
Is this path beneficial to Huo Huaiying? What exactly is Huo Huaiying trying to do? Is she Prometheus's accomplice?
Zhu Yao was looking for Liu Yu's shadow in the chaos. She promised to protect her, and Liu Yu was in front.
The soldiers around Liu Yu died like dead leaves, with no chance of salvation. She made the most wrong decision by not wearing a helmet and inhaled poison gas in the blink of an eye.
Her face was blue and purple. Liu Yu could hear the sound of waves. She wanted to use the giant's power to fight back. She heard the sound of waves running towards her, but all movements stopped abruptly.
"Mrs. Lu, please stop struggling. I don't want to hurt you." Prometheus said.
Liu Yu saw Zhu Yao and Huo Huaiying, who were struggling to survive. Huo Huaiying was just an outside scholar, violence was not her strong point, and dragging Zhu Yao to walk had already exhausted all her strength.
Huo Huaiying had the ability to foresee the future, and she made the best choice to save Zhu Yao.
Prometheus could easily strangle both men, and now he was warning himself.
Don't struggle.
The mycelium did not penetrate Liu Yu's body, but she had already become Prometheus's puppet.
"I can't get close to the truth, right?" Liu Yu asked.
Yes, that makes no sense. A manipulated puppet conveys Prometheus's meaning.
Prometheus is outside the wall. No one knows where his host is, nor does anyone know his specific position or role.
If the world was a giantess, Prometheus had become one with her and knew far more than anyone else.
[I'm protecting you.] Prometheus' voice actually sounded apologetic, like a worried father who was afraid his child would fall and had no choice but to take such action. He accompanied the child all the way and stopped him from falling off the cliff in time.
He watched the humans with concern and chose to clear them out after they entered the restricted area.
Likewise, he did not go against his choice to protect first-class citizens.
To be honest, he didn't understand Liu Yu's choice. The combination of Liu Yu and the Lu family had been determined to be a feasible path. Huo Jinsheng had confirmed it, and Prometheus's calculations had also been successful.
If we follow this path, the fifth generation of new humans will be born and humanity will be saved.
The Federation's resources are also limited. The supply of contaminated spores has long been a problem. So many years have been spent on the first path. It is impossible to suddenly change course, which will require more time and resources.
Once you fully support the first path, there will be no room for the second.
Liu Yu's success will change the inherent pattern of the current major families. They have already divided up the world and would rather the world be destroyed than give up their vested interests. Besides, how could they allow Liu Yu to be on an equal footing with them?
The second path means risk, not to mention that the first path can be successful.
But Liu Yu refused to succumb to her fate. When she proposed to explore the Utopia underground plan, they knew that Liu Yu might want to die outside the wall.
This plan is so aboveboard and morally sound. After all, it is for the exploration of all mankind, and Liu Yu is so powerful that they cannot oppose it decently.
So Liu Yu must fail, preferably before getting close.
No matter what the truth of the world is, it is best not to be discovered forever.
Reproduction cannot be forced, just like playing elegant music for cows to get high-quality milk, Liu Yu also needs to willingly walk into the cage.
Prometheus carried out his mission and took action on Liu Yu at the right time. She was too uncontrollable. The Kingdom of God wanted her to be strong and obedient, and preferably willing to dedicate herself. They would write the greatest hymn for Liu Yu.
In the Kingdom of God, there is a protective shield that can counter Liu Yu's power, but outside the wall, Liu Yu will be completely out of control.
Therefore, Prometheus needs to control it more carefully. The protective shield is the physical boundary set for Liu Yu. This time he should set a spiritual boundary so that she can no longer resist until she completes her mission.
[They all died because of you.] Prometheus's cold voice came.
Because of Liu Yu's willfulness and unrealistic plans, too many people died.
Liu Yu smiled sadly, finally realizing her failure. What she was referring to was not the toxins invading her body, but a bird that had been imprisoned for a long time finally flying out of the cage. As she got closer and closer to the sky, she found that there was an iron chain tied to her feet.
The chains tightened, preventing her from moving forward, and then dragged her back into the abyss step by step.
For a moment, she felt that she was luckier than others. Others would die, but Liu Yu could continue to live, live forever, until she gave birth to her last child.
…
Zhu Yao paused, realizing that she had lost Liu Yu's protection, or rather, it was because Liu Yu was still protecting her that she was alive.
Whatever the reason, the plan to explore the underground of Utopia has completely failed.
But then Zhu Yao felt a tightness on her back and Huo Huaiying pushed her.
Zhu Yao was pushed along, and the surroundings were in chaos. She had no idea where she was. When she stumbled and fell, Huo Huaiying grabbed her collar and forcibly pulled her up. If it weren't for Huo Huaiying, Zhu Yao wouldn't even be able to move her feet.
She slipped and looked down to find that she was stepping on the remains of someone she didn't know.
Her vision went dark, and the guillotine of death was hanging over her head.
Zhu Yao felt dizzy, and then her body was rolling down somewhere. She was not rolling down by herself. She was held tightly by Huo Huaiying. Someone was trying to protect her body from getting hurt.
Zhu Yao felt like a waste. Someone who had been in the laboratory for a long time was no different from a useless person in a place like this. He could not help at all in such a fierce battle. However, Huo Huaiying still took on the task of protecting himself.
It was a very gentle and solid embrace, like the safest corner in the world. Zhu Yao didn't have to worry about anything in it. When they finally rolled to a certain place and the endless fall stopped, there was not even a hole in Zhu Yao's protective suit.
She was not injured and did not inhale any poisonous gas. As an ordinary, unarmed person, she was completely unharmed in such a horrific attack.
Zhu Yao got up and went to see Huo Huaiying. She loosened her arms and lay weakly on the side, her body covered with wounds. Her helmet had fallen off long ago, and her long braid was loose.
They had become friends along the way, and Zhu Yao's heart was suddenly stabbed.
Zhu Yao looked downwards, her professional attributes as a doctor coming into play. She could remain calm at any time and start rescuing the patient. Zhu Yao told herself that this was just an ordinary patient and there was still a chance, as she had healing agents on her.
Zhu Yao tore open her protective suit with force. Huo Huaiying was seriously injured. Her abdomen was stabbed and the blood flowing out was black. Toxins also invaded her body.
Zhu Yao's hands were shaking, and she immediately realized that Huo Huaiying was on the verge of death.
Huo Huaiying seemed to have foreseen all this and never looked at her abdomen from beginning to end.
She had already received the script of her life and performed it as scheduled, like a dedicated actor without making any mistakes.
"Why?" Zhu Yao asked.
She didn't think Huo Huaiying protected her simply out of friendship. There might be such an element, but it was not the main reason.
Huo Huaiying has the eye of foresight, she can peek into the fate of the world, so she protects Zhu Yao because she feels that she must survive.
It doesn’t matter whether others survive or not, but Zhu Yao must survive.
Why? Because of the Alpha series experiments that were still in the fantasy stage? She felt that Zhu Yao would definitely succeed?
Prometheus is a qualified killer. There is no need for the killer to tell the truth to the deceased before killing, so they die in unclear circumstances.
But Huo Huaiying should have known the truth. She must have known something before she chose to do this.
Huo Huaiying looked at her calmly and gently, soothing her friend's panic, "Take my eyes first."
She wanted Zhu Yao to take away her Eye of Prescience.
