Chapter 31: Siege of Hemostasis
Mingnuo's mind was still dull when Sedwick was dragging him away. He blinked in confusion and turned around to see Lin Xunyu violently dismembering his head.
These bionic people look basically the same as ordinary humans. Ming Nuo was instantly frightened. He shrank his neck and looked behind him in panic.
Sedwick took Mingnuo to a safe place. "Don't be afraid. These are all androids."
Only then did Ming Nuo notice the abnormality of these "humans". There were flashes of lightning in the texture of their muscles. There were clearly more than a dozen completely different faces, but they seemed like controlled puppets, staring at Ming Nuo with lifeless eyes.
The guests fled in panic, but the door to the banquet hall had been closed. They could only run towards the broken wall, praying that the sniper fleet could save them.
Gracie rushed to the front, but before they could run over, they were held hostage by the androids, with their bodies facing the direction of the artillery fire.
Gracie panicked, "Don't fire! I'm Lorien's cousin!"
Garland looked at the situation, his fists clenched until they rattled. "Xu Yao, you really are crazy!"
Xu Yao smiled and said, "It's a helpless move, please forgive me."
Ming Nuo was already overwhelmed by the chaotic scene. When he met the bionic man's direct gaze, his hair stood on end and the uncanny valley effect reached its peak.
Ming Nuo asked with a trembling voice, "Then where did these androids come from?"
Sedwick drew his sword with his backhand, and a cold and murderous mental force wrapped around the blade. He turned and chopped with his elbow, and the hard steel body of the bionic man following closely behind them was instantly broken into two halves, and the exposed circuits crackled.
Lin Xunyu glanced at him and made sure that Mingnuo was safe before continuing to clean up the other bionic people.
"They've been among the guests for a long time." Sedwick retracted his sword, his grey eyes scanning the surroundings. He spotted Xu Yao standing calmly by the side, and said simply, "Xu Yao is a spy. They want to arrest you."
Ming Nuo's heart trembled. She followed his gaze and happened to meet Xu Yao's eyes.
Xu Yao was still as gentle and polite as ever, with a courteous smile on his lips. He held Xu Mengsheng in his arms, pressed his shoulders, and nodded to Ming Nuo.
"Dad?" Xu Mengsheng looked up blankly at the chaotic birthday party. A chill like falling into an icy cave enveloped him, and his lips trembled. "What are you going to do?"
Xu Yao bent down and stroked his son's face, "I'm here to treat you."
After saying that, he injected his son with a sedative. Xu Mengsheng fell limp in his arms. Xu Yao picked up the unconscious Xu Mengsheng and handed him to a bionic man numbered 01. "Take good care of him."
01 took Xu Mengsheng and retreated to a safe position: "Yes."
Jelica just stood there staring at Xu Yao. She looked at the devastated venue and fell into a long silence.
Xu Yao looked calm and composed, but in fact his fingertips had already dug into his palms. With Lin Xunyu and other captains of the guards around, his bionic men wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
He also knew that the time was not ripe, but Wen Zhining saw through his plan in advance, forcing him to take action.
Seeing that Lin Xunyu had to face five or six bionic people, Ming Nuo also wanted to help. He covered the Tasang Stone with his mental power and said, "Uncle Lin, we are here to help you."
But Dillon was the first to stop him, "Wait a minute, I'll do it."
Dillon's data was drilled into the Tassanite and shaped into a human form. The war between artificial intelligences is nothing more than a competition of whose model is better and whose material is more durable.
And these... Ti Lung are all top-notch.
Dillon directly attacked the electronic brain of the bionic man, and several bionic men's heads started smoking and were directly scrapped. Those of lower levels were directly taken over and controlled by Dillon, and turned against him on the spot.
Ming Nuo stared in amazement as Dillon effortlessly controlled the situation. At this moment, he finally understood the value of Dillon as the pinnacle of the arsenal.
"Dillon..." Xu Yao gritted his teeth, "Zelphis really protects you from the bottom of his heart. Dillon can even give you..."
Ti Lung was the natural enemy of the bionic man, so Lin Xunyu freed up his hands to deal with Xu Yao. Xu Yao retreated step by step, grabbed a guest's neck, and blocked him in front of him, "Don't come over here!"
The guest was so frightened that he burst into tears. "Marshal, please wait, don't be anxious, I'm still in his hands."
Lin Xunyu groaned in annoyance. Ming Nuo ran over and huddled up beside him, like a kitten seeking shelter from a big cat. "Uncle Lin, what should we do now?"
Although Senator Edmont is old, he is also a veteran of the parliamentary chaos. He can shoot a man in the head with one shot. He is still furious at the shameless Xu Yao. "This whole birthday party, treating the guests as hostages, it's really a waste of his talent for him to pursue academic research."
Xu Yao chuckled: "You're polite, but you're still not as resourceful as Your Majesty. I really can't figure out when he started to doubt me."
"Brother, you've reached such a high position, who else should I suspect?" Edmont rolled his eyes. "Just check and you'll find out. Those undercover agents that His Majesty Herbert has dealt with were all your students."
Ankh Gardens was attacked twice, and His Majesty Herbert executed two groups of "undercover agents".
Maybe because Corning was dead and Herbert's external brain was gone, he only suspected Xu Yao at first, and when another undercover agent emerged, he no longer paid attention to him.
Councilman Edmont thought of those students and couldn't help but sigh, "Studying is risky. You never know when your instructor might make you a scapegoat."
Xu Yao's expression remained calm as he stared at Mingnuo's hand on Sedwick's arm, the corners of his lips slightly raised, "Lorian, you are truly the greatest work of my life."
Ming Nuo was hit hard, "What do you mean?"
Xu Yao took a step back and crushed the bottle of medicine in his hand. White mist filled the air and entered the human body through the respiratory tract. A faint sweet fragrance could be smelled.
Is this perfume? Ming Nuo sniffed it and looked strange.
Lin Xunyu reacted quickly, held his breath, kicked Sedwick several meters away, covered Mingnuo's nose, but saw that there was nothing abnormal about Mingnuo. Thinking of his special physique, he slowly put down his hand.
A mental disruptor, a common substance used to commit ruthless acts on the battlefield.
Lin Xunyu's mental strength was strong, so he wasn't greatly affected. However, Sedwick still absorbed some of it. The chaotic mental energy filled the surroundings, and Sedwick's face turned pale. Beads of sweat slid down his cheeks and fell to the ground. Even his breathing became rapid and difficult.
The blood coagulated into crystals, piercing the skin and spreading out.
"Sedwick! What's wrong with you?" Ming Nuo's mind went blank. He supported his body and looked at the crystals on his arm. "Hemorrhage...?!"
Xu Yao made a desperate move, "Luo Ryan, come here obediently, or I will kill him."
Lin Xunyu listened to Xu Yao threatening Lorian in front of him, feeling displeased at being ignored. He instantly drew his sword and moved swiftly and stealthily behind Xu Yao to chop off his gun-holding hand.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Xu Yao wanted to pick up the gun again, but with a bang, the bullet pierced his shoulder. Xu Yao groaned in pain and fell to the ground, bleeding all over the floor.
Ming Nuo turned around in surprise and saw Jelica slowly lowering the gun. Her eyes were red and her voice was trembling, "That's enough, Xu Yao."
Good opportunity!
Ming Nuo immediately rushed forward and snatched the gun from Xu Yao's hand. Xu Yao's shoulder was injured and he was unable to snatch the gun from Ming Nuo, so Ming Nuo took it away from him.
Xu Yao now had no power to resist at all. Ming Nuo was so angry that he kicked Xu Yao again, and hurriedly grabbed Sedwick's arm and dragged him towards Garland.
But Sedwick was in a very bad condition. His clothes were soaked in blood due to a blood coagulation attack and he had fallen into a coma.
Garland had no choice but to yell at Mingnuo: "Lorian! You are a healing spirit, save him! Mobilize your spirit to save him!"
He? Therapy department?
Mingnuo didn't have time to think, and immediately did as Garland said. He mobilized his mental power to the maximum extent to cover Sedwick.
The mental power, which had always been lazy, did not become active this time. It covered Sedwick like snowflakes, and the blood-colored crystals condensed on his skin were melting quickly. This change that could be captured by the naked eye surprised Mingnuo.
"Alright, alright!" Ming Nuo said to Garland impatiently, "The blood crystal has disappeared!"
Dillon dealt with a group of bionic people. Seeing that Mingnuo was still dragging Sedwick forward with the load, he made a "tsk" sound, lifted Sedwick up and threw him towards Garland.
Garland was startled and his body swayed. He didn't even think about picking up his unlucky brother. Sedwick just rolled into the sniper ship.
"You are too violent!"
Garland reprimanded Dillon and hurried to see where his brother had rolled to. He also checked his physical condition and made sure that he was not seriously injured, so he let him lie on the ground and went to watch the battle.
Xu Yao watched helplessly as Ming Nuo, whom he had captured, ran away again. Blood flowed from the corner of his lips. He looked at Jelica and said, "I did this to save the child! You idiot!"
"Aren't Lorian and Sedwick children?!" Jellica broke down and cried, questioning Xu Yao, "Anka Garden was attacked twice. Were you responsible? Those children who died in the incubator before they could see the world, weren't they children?!"
Xu Yao was stunned and murmured, "But...but what should I do with Xiao Meng? What about my child? Anyone can die, but he can't die..."
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Jelica rushed up to him, grabbed his collar and slapped him several times.
Ming Nuo swallowed hard when he saw this, and turned to meet Dillon's eyes. Dillon pointed at the sniper fleet and asked, "Are you going to be thrown over there too?"
Mingnuo thought of the parabola that Sedwick had just presented, shook his head decisively, and followed Dillon to watch him kill everyone.
Immediately afterwards, Archer and Seren broke in. Their reaction speed was even faster than that of the androids. They cut off the androids' arms, rescued the hostages, and then took away their electronic brains.
Aqier saw a bionic man carrying Xu Mengsheng to another place, "You go to see Luo Rui'an."
After saying that, he followed.
Seren rushed to Mingnuo's side, checked him up and down, and asked nervously, "How is it? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Mingnuo's fair little face was covered in dust, and his clothes were torn during the escape. He was covered in dirt and looked listless, not at all as lively as when he left in the morning.
He looked at his uncle, and the grievances that had been suppressed in his heart after his family members were around him surged up. He sniffed, and his voice contained obvious tears. "I, I'm fine."
Everyone protected him very well, and Mingnuo didn't even get hurt.
Seren pulled Mingnuo into his arms and rubbed his head soothingly, "Well, I'm here, don't be afraid."
Falling into the warm embrace, Mingnuo couldn't hold back his tears. He hugged Seren's waist and buried his head in his arms and cried, "I always thought he was a good uncle. He treated me and coaxed me to take medicine... I never bullied him, but he bullied me..."
Mingnuo's crying made Seren feel choked up. He could only hold Mingnuo in his arms and comfort him, "Well, it's all his fault. Uncle will help you teach him a lesson."
Seren wiped Mingnuo's tears, his bright golden eyes filled with heartache for him, "Stop crying, okay?"
"Yeah..." Ming Nuo nodded obediently, but it would take him a while to stop crying. He cried while watching the guards rushing in to maintain order at the scene.
Most of the bionic humans had been destroyed by Dillon, and the few who had taken advantage of the situation were caught by the guards and pinned to the ground. Xu Yao had already been knocked unconscious by Jelica.
Just when Mingnuo thought the fight was over, Aqier came back in a hurry, holding Xu Mengsheng in his arms. He was holding the android's head in his hands. "Hurry, hurry! The android just threw him into a machine. Can anyone come and see if he's okay? Why is his breathing getting weaker and weaker..."
Jelica immediately ran to see Xu Mengsheng and patted his pale face, "Xiao Meng? Xiao Meng, don't scare your mother..."
Mingnuo hugged Seren's arm. Although he hated Xu Yao now, Xu Mengsheng had always been very nice to him, so he did not take his anger out on him.
Xu Mengsheng looked very bad. Ming Nuo could sense that his mental strength was rapidly depleting. "Send him to see a doctor."
Garland helped Jelica up and said, "I'll take you to Anka Garden."
It just so happened that he also wanted to send Sedwick over.
Jelica lowered her head with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, thank you."
Not long after they left, Wen Zhining was also rescued by Field.
The moment he was freed, Wen Zhining rolled up his sleeves and angrily came to settle the score with Xu Yao, "Xu Yao, you academic scum, you..."
After seeing the banquet hall that looked like a wasteland from a battlefield, Wen Zhining fell silent. He saw Xu Yao, covered in blood, with a gun pressed against his head, and finally realized that something was wrong. "What's going on?"
Field hurried over to catch up with Wen Zhining and made a long story short: "Xu Yao is a traitor."
Wen Zhining: "... bastard."
"Teacher!" Ming Nuo sobbed and hugged Wen Zhining, looking at him with tears in his eyes, "Are you okay?"
Wen Zhining tied her hair up and touched Mingnuo's little head, "It's okay."
Aqir: "It's a good thing you're here. Come and see what's in this room."
Under his guidance, Mingnuo saw the oval machine in the center of the room. It had been cut in half by humans and was emitting billowing black smoke.
Wen Zhining immediately understood the machine's function. "This is a deconstruction device, used to analyze the structure of matter."
Ming Nuo quickly asked, "What if someone gets in?"
"Why would someone go in there? To extract the gene sequence?" Wen Zhining was puzzled. "But this is a strictly prohibited operation. A human body would be reduced to dust in less than three seconds. It's effective, but inhumane."
Aqier gasped, "That Xu Mengsheng..."
"He fell in?" Wen Zhining sighed, "That's terrible."
The fact was just as Wen Zhining said, Xu Mengsheng's body was seriously injured and the doctor barely saved his life.
Jelica resolutely divorced Xu Yao, and there was no relationship between them from then on.
During the Guards' search of the Xu family, they discovered that Xu Yao had developed a drug that could temporarily control blood coagulation. Although the effect only lasted for three days, it was enough to resolve most emergencies.
It was after Xu Mengsheng took this medicine that his health improved. As for Xu Yao's cooperation with the Saichuan Empire, it was only because the Perseus Empire banned human experiments and he needed the experimental data.
The next day, Minno was sent to Ankh Gardens by Zelphis for observation and was placed in the same ward with Sedwick.
Sedwick woke up on the third day of his hospitalization. It was a sunny day. When he opened his eyes, he saw his mother and brother gathered around Mingnuo's bed, asking him about his well-being.
Ming Nuo didn't seem to be affected much. He had a bright smile on his face and was talking and laughing with them.
Zelphis stood by the window handling official business, Seren stayed by Mingnuo's side, peeling an orange for him. Archer was the first to notice that Sedwick had woken up, "Your own child is awake, hurry up and go!"
Mrs. Lin turned around and walked to Sedwick's bedside to confirm that his temperature was normal. "You're awake, are you feeling any worse?"
Sedwick was silent for a moment, then he raised his hand and touched the back of his head. He could clearly feel a large bump on the back of his head caused by an external force. He looked at Ming Nuo suspiciously, "Did you hit me secretly?"
Ming Nuo was sitting on the orange bed, and when he heard this he secretly pointed at Dillon beside him.
Dillon was squatting in the corner playing games with Mingnuo's smart computer. He glanced at Sedwick and said, "It has nothing to do with me. If you want to blame someone, blame your brother for not catching you."
Garland smiled awkwardly. "It's an emergency, so I can't take care of you right now. Don't worry, I've given you a thorough checkup. You just have a slight concussion."
Sedwick: "..."
I’m really impressed.
"Your Majesty." Director Tang Qingyun suddenly came to Zelphis. After this great change, she looked much older. "There are some things I may need to let you know."
Zelphis followed her outside the ward.
Director Tang handed him a stack of lab reports and said wearily, "Xu Yao secretly genetically modified the young prince shortly after he was born. His goal was to create a son with healing powers."
"But the Saichuan Empire also wanted the medicine from the young prince. After confirming that the young prince already had healing abilities, the two sides reached a certain cooperation. Xu Yao decided to send the prince away. This is why Anka Garden was attacked twice."
The Saichuan Empire spent so much mental energy to create a healing system, but in the end Mingnuo returned to them. Tang Qingyun sometimes had to believe in the influence of fate.
Perseus has possessed a high level of mental power that others cannot imagine since birth. It is precisely because of this that Mingnuo was able to survive the genetic modification and become the only healing system.
Zelphis: "What happened to Xu Mengsheng being thrown into the deconstruction machine?"
"Xu Yao neither brought His Highness Lorian to them nor the newly developed medicine." Dean Tang sighed and shook his head. "And there was some medicine residue in Xiao Meng's body. So, seeing that he couldn't get the little prince, Bionic Man No. 01 decided to settle for the next best thing and deconstruct Xiao Meng to learn the composition of the medicine."
Zelphis sneered, "Play with fire and get burned."
Director Tang lowered his eyes. At this point, Xu Yao had indeed ended up like His Majesty had said.
It's true that one wrong step leads to another.
