The two of them didn't recognize the white gem-like object, but the man in the photo was very familiar to them.
He Sizhao's eyes narrowed, and Su Mo called out softly, "Uncle He."
The photo was an ID photo of a man sitting upright, and the person in it was He Sizhao's long-lost father, He Xingxian.
Both of them turned their eyes to the running machine.
"It says here that Uncle He is an important energy transfer station. Without him, the doctor can't use Xiaoyi's energy." Su Mo said softly, "Do you think Uncle He is in here?"
He Shizhao said nothing. He turned back to the archives and looked through the rows starting from the earliest year.
Soon, he saw He Xingxian's name in the cabinet from twenty years ago.
He flipped through it briefly, took the file back inside and handed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo quickly flipped through the pages. "Uncle's talent is... fusion? No matter whose energy it is, once it's transformed by him, it can become universal energy that can be used by anyone, just like type O blood can be transfused into all blood types. It's because of this talent that the doctor has set his sights on him."
"The age listed on this file is thirty-eight, and he's been planning this for twenty years," He Sizhao said. "I haven't seen that white gem, but I can roughly guess what it is."
"The core of Xiaoyi." Su Mo said in an affirmative tone.
He Sizhao was silent for a moment, then said, "The core in Xiaoyi's body has been taken out by herself. The one he is using now belongs to Xiaoyi in her previous life."
Su Mo's eyes widened slightly. "You mean, this doctor didn't just travel through time like Xiao Yi and Ji Xia, where only his soul traveled through time, but his entire body?"
"Except for this possibility, there are no other explanations for the existence of two cores," He Sizhao said. "He most likely carried such an important item with him, and it came to this world with him."
He thought of the "heart removal" experiment in the information he had just seen about Jiang Chuyi, and his eyes turned cold.
"No matter what the reason, this machine must be destroyed." Su Mo said seriously, "Before that, we need to confirm one question: Is my uncle actually inside this machine?"
He Sizhao lowered his eyes, his voice calm: "If he is, is he still alive?"
"Uncle must remain alive to be effective, otherwise his talent will be useless."
After hearing Su Mo's answer, the tension in He Shizhao's eyes relaxed for a moment.
He raised his wrist and pointed it at the communicator: "Lu Qianzhi, come in."
Lu Qianzhi soon appeared in the room. He was stunned when he saw the huge and magnificent machine.
"There's no time to explain too much right now," He Sizhao said. "We three are the most powerful awakened ones right now. Let's see if we can break open the shell of this machine."
"clear."
After following He Sizhao for a while, Lu Qianzhi also underwent some changes. He used to have some hesitation and calculations of an ordinary person, but now he has completely integrated into the identity of a soldier. He will obey any orders given by his superiors.
Among the three of them, Su Mo is not a combat type, but he is a rare beastmaster who needs huge energy to support his spiritual space. The energy contained in his body may be more than Lu Qianzhi.
Unable to use the energies directly, he summoned the donut and placed his hand on it.
The beastmaster and his master were in harmony with each other. Donut immediately understood what Su Mo wanted to do. It showed its sharp fangs and bit the outer shell of the machine as He Sizhao counted down.
Unexpectedly, the shell was not very strong, and with the concerted efforts of the three people and the beast, it quickly corroded and fell off.
Seeing the scene inside, the three of them held their breath.
The interior of the complex machine is like an intricately decorated corridor, and in the center of the corridor stands an ice coffin.
He Xingxian stood inside with a pale face and eyes closed. At first glance, it was hard to tell whether he was dead or alive.
Above the ice coffin, a white gem was hanging above He Xingxian's head, emitting a soft and beautiful halo.
Lu Qianzhi was stunned: "Then, is that Commander-in-Chief He?"
He Shizhao's brows were gloomy as he walked in.
In the dim light, He Xingxian's whole body was pale. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, people would have thought he was dead.
Lu Qianzhi was a little anxious: "Let's rescue Commander He quickly!"
"Don't act rashly." Su Mo's voice was tense. "Things are not as simple as we thought."
Bang, bang.
The huge heartbeat was like a giant beast that was awakened, reaching everyone's eardrums in the confined space.
A tube-like object was connected to the ice coffin, one end was inserted into He Xingxian's heart, and the other end was inserted into another heart.
It was a completely exposed heart, immersed in green liquid, with complete atria, ventricles, superior vena artery, and inferior vena cava. What was terrifying was that it was still beating regularly.
It looked a very healthy red, without any of the blackening and shriveling that would occur after leaving the human body. It seemed to be jumping even more vigorously than He Xingxian in the ice coffin.
In the brief silence, Su Mo spoke: "Whose heart do you think this could be?"
"That doctor?" Lu Qianzhi's teeth trembled, his pupils constricted. "How could he be so perverted? No... How did he survive without the heart?"
"Nothing is impossible for an awakened being, and it's certainly not impossible for a genius mad scientist like the Doctor," Su Mo said sarcastically. "Perhaps he has the ability to repair the heart defect, or even create an artificial heart. That wouldn't be difficult for him at all."
He Sizhao walked forward and carefully observed the catheter connecting the two hearts.
As He Xingxian's chest rose and fell, the heart in the green solution also beat steadily. The two frequencies were consistent, as if the heart being dissected was He Xingxian's own.
"I know how he did it." Su Mo lowered his voice. "He connected the two hearts into one, so that the energy converted by Uncle He could be directly absorbed and used by him. This undoubtedly minimized energy waste, but it also came with risks."
Lu Qianzhi reacted quickly: "You mean, as long as Commander-in-Chief He dies, he will also be finished?"
Su Mo nodded: "The same is true in reverse. If the doctor dies, Uncle He will probably..."
Lu Qianzhi was silent for a few seconds: "We haven't had time to find the doctor and kill him yet. I hope he can escape far away for the time being and not be killed before we rescue Commander-in-Chief He."
"Disaster."
He Sizhao spoke the first words since entering the machine, attracting the attention of the other two.
He slowly turned around and looked at the two of them.
"The Doctor doesn't want Xiaoyi to come because she will destroy the machine before it can start working. So where will he go to completely prevent Xiaoyi from coming?"
The two men's eyes gradually became horrified.
"He went to find Xiaoyi!" they said in unison.
Five hundred kilometers away, the main base.
Jiang Chuyi looked at the face that looked smug even though it was purple, and countless thoughts ran through his mind.
She didn't know the Doctor that well, but she knew he wasn't the type to brag. He disdained it, and everything that others thought was bragging, he would eventually achieve.
He does have the capital to be proud.
So he wasn't necessarily saying this just to threaten her.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Chuyi asked.
The doctor just smiled and said, "Xiaoyi, you've really changed. In the past, if you were given a chance to kill me, you wouldn't even hesitate. No matter what reason was presented to you, you would turn a blind eye. Now you actually have worries and concerns, just because of a sentence you don't know whether it's true or not?"
Jiang Chuyi: "Don't talk nonsense."
She twisted the shadow hand, and the shadow hand that was holding the doctor's arm began to move backwards. To others, the doctor's arm began to twist like a twist, and the bones made a teeth-grinding creaking sound.
The doctor groaned in pain.
He gasped, but his smile widened.
Jiang Chuyi had a blank expression on his face as he applied the same operation to the shadow hand holding his legs. The doctor finally couldn't help but scream, laughing while screaming, his whole body twisted horribly.
At this moment, Jiang Chuyi paused.
The communicator placed in the space suddenly rang, and it was a level one alarm signal, which would only be used in major events.
Jiang Chuyi took out the communicator and saw that the message on it was from He Shizhao.
A very brief message: Don't kill the doctor, wait for my notification.
Jiang Chuyi stared at the communicator for a long time. If she hadn't still been controlling the doctor's limbs, she would have thought that this was a play directed and acted by the doctor himself.
After all, this guy is indeed a drama queen.
Seeing an instrument appear out of thin air in Jiang Chuyi's hand, the doctor paused for a moment, and a look of deep thought appeared on his tearful face.
"What kind of skill is that?" He took a breath after every word he spoke. "I've never seen anyone like you or her be able to pull something out of thin air like this."
This matter, which was beyond his control, caused a crack in his full confidence.
Jiang Chuyi ignored him. She turned off the communicator, and in front of his bloodshot expression, she took out a folding chair from the space and sat down on the spot.
The whole city was filled with zombies summoned by the doctor. These zombies did not obey Jiang Chuyi's orders, but did not dare to approach her, so they all attacked the hospital.
However, the hospital was covered by Jiang Chuyi's energy shield, and no zombies could get in. They could only stand outside and howl and scratch in vain.
This created a strange scene.
"Don't you really want to know what I just said?" The doctor said hoarsely, "I'm telling you, tell me what this ability is."
Jiang Chuyi ignored him and sent a message on the communicator.
He Shizhao's communicator vibrated, and Jiang Chuyi's only response was displayed on it.
"knew."
After seeing this message, the three people's tense nerves finally relaxed.
However, another piece of news from Jiang Chuyi followed.
"You'd better hurry. More people are turning into zombies every minute. The change is irreversible."
The three of them were startled.
"There's no time to overthink. We have to act quickly," He Sizhao said. "Su Mo, check the computer again to see if there's a program that can prevent the heart from connecting or terminate the machine. Lu Qianzhi and I will try to destroy the ice coffin."
"Got it." The two of them accepted the order.
