Chapter 53 recreates the entire process of humans transforming into alien species...
"Oh, why do you choose to inflict pain on others?" Xu An's smile remained, but a chill grew in his eyes. "0301 cannot be activated."
Ran Yue looked at her quietly: "I have already started it."
Xu An's mouth twitched, and then he laughed, "As expected of you, go clean up this mess."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the ground was suddenly shaken apart by a powerful wave of supernatural energy. Loess mixed with rocks pounded against the base of the lift, making a thud. The powerful supernatural energy spread out, sending people and biological weapons on the surrounding battlefield flying several meters away.
The core of that energy wave was Feng Lan's face. His entire body was gleaming with a strange, mechanical blue light, and a powerful wave of supernatural energy was emanating from him.
Xu An was very familiar with this kind of fluctuation.
That is a powerful energy that only female aliens possess. Neither humans nor males can obtain this power.
0301 used Xiaolin, a human female, as a carrier, and injected her with a generative chip that was completely beyond the human body's tolerance. It was constantly compared and adjusted with the genetic data extracted from the female alien body, eventually causing the human body's functions to necrotize. The researchers then connected this power to the human Xiaolin and the bionic man Feng Lan respectively, and transferred all of Xiaolin's brain data to Feng Lan.
This is the reason why Xu An believes that 0301 is truly unstartable.
Borrowing the lives of both species just to research a so-called killer monster, and then calling it a means to control her?
Xu An sneered.
Before the new century, people claimed she was Yin Shu's sword, even rumored to hold her lifeblood. Back then, the alien species hadn't yet become rampant, and humans had a good base of settlement on Earth. So, how could 0301, the experimental subject developed alongside an obedient sword, be said to be her master?
Only a fool would believe that.
He just wanted to dig out the crystal core in the alien body and get endless power from it.
Thinking about it, Xu An played with the dagger leisurely, "So, are you going to stop me now, or stop your little baby from killing people everywhere?"
Ran Yue remained unmoved.
At that moment, Xu An noticed a faint flash of electricity in Ran Yue's hands. As her fingertips moved, a blue current swirled through the empty room behind her. It was Xiao Lin. Behind Xiao Lin, the main computer controlling the bionic human Feng Lan was connected to her mechanical brain.
"You were the one who arranged for Feng Lan to break into the archives and meet Xiaolin. He has more contact with Xiaolin, and you can control him through Xiaolin." Xu An watched quietly, then suddenly realized, "No wonder you acquiesced to Feng Lan's super-authorized actions. He was in your hands, a chess piece that could never go wrong."
As he spoke, the lightning flashed and the flying bullets seemed to stop for a few seconds due to the strong energy fluctuations below the base. Xu An could feel the approach of Feng Lan's power.
"You want to use him to kill me?"
"I'm just using him to stop you." Ran Yue's hand tightly grasped the command to start the action. "I know what you want to do. You just want to lure out the bromine mist controller called the Mandragora Plant, but..."
"I can't afford the gamble." Ran Yue's fingertips trembled. "I don't know why the teacher asked for death back then. I can only guess that it was related to the base. But when the teacher nominated me to the position of commander, I was destined not to have too many selfish thoughts. Xu An, if you die, who can stop the crazy aliens? If the base is blown up, I will be the sinner of all mankind."
Xu An watched quietly and asked casually, "Really? Then why are you letting those humans down there kill each other?"
Ran Yue trembled: "They are not human!"
A chuckle slipped away.
Hearing the sound, Ran Yue suddenly woke up, "You cheated me!"
Xu An held the dagger's blade between his fingertips and spun it leisurely. "Look, even you know which ones are human and which ones are not..."
Her eyes suddenly flashed red, a bolt of lightning exploded in the sky, the energy waves gradually began to become agitated, the alarm sound of bromine mist concentration rang in her ears, and a huge whirlpool appeared on the sea surface.
Xu An grabbed Ran Yue's chin, ignoring the military machine that triggered the danger warning and aimed the bullet's red line at her forehead. "If you can distinguish them, your decision-making will be biased, and even deliberate concealment will be useless."
Just like Ran Yue never worried about the safety of the people in the control room; just like even if she was carrying a large number of slum dwellers without superpowers, she would never send anyone to the surface to die; just like even if it was clear that only Jie Shuqin and Baili Yunle were trapped on the surface, she would mobilize the entire base to reinforce them...
"It's too obvious... Aren't you the next Yin Shu now?" Xu An's fingertips turned white as he let the laser beside him burn his shoulder. "Now that a large number of androids have appeared, how many people in the base do you think won't be suspicious? How many people won't notice?"
Xu An chuckled: "You think you can do it perfectly? In fact, you are all just self-righteous victims."
"Who are you talking about? Yin Shu?" Ran Yue grabbed her hand fiercely, "Why on earth is the teacher asking for death?"
"Can't you guess?" Xu An laughed, and the back of the knife gently slashed across Ran Yue's face, "Isn't it because she developed the bionic man and has a list of all bionic men that she wants to die?"
Even if I already have the answer in my heart, laying it out like this is still suffocating, like seawater pouring into my mouth and nose.
Even if Yin Shu had eliminated all the bionic people from the list, as Xu An had said, even if they tried to hide it, their unconscious preference for humans was undeniable. What would humans do when they discovered that their long-standing friends and loved ones were nothing more than a string of code that could be changed at any time?
If the base is just a gathering place for a group of depressed people, how can humans survive the apocalypse and fight against alien species?
"Yes." Ran Yue sneered and looked up, "But if even the last bit of tenderness is gone, who will survive?"
So whether it was Yin Shu or those researchers who knew the list of bionic humans, they all chose to conceal the truth by dying.
Xu An didn't care: "If I can't survive, I'll just fight."
Ran Yue looked up in surprise: "Fight?"
As she finished speaking, the whirlpool on the sea finally stopped and the fluctuations of supernatural powers came to an abrupt halt.
The next moment, a string in the air seemed to be broken, followed by a shrill bromine fog alarm. Almost two seconds after it sounded, the sound of shattering glass suddenly rang out.
The bromine mist tester is broken.
All the alien species that were hitting the protective net were like crazy, with strange low growls coming out of their throats, and the crystal cores on the sides of their necks were exposed. The fluctuations of their supernatural powers reached an unprecedented height in an instant, and a strong feeling of dizziness almost enveloped everyone's mind.
Xu An leaped out almost at the moment the bromine mist tester shattered.
The glittering neon lights only illuminated her fleeting figure. In just a few seconds, she stepped on the neon pipes and the aircraft transporting weapons in the air and reached the top of the tallest spire in the base.
The ability-limiting bracelet on his hand emitted a dazzling light, and had faint cracks and fissures.
And the sea surface finally began to splash slowly amid the alien species' roars.
First, a strange, slimy tentacle with numerous suction cups appeared. Then, a spherical plant, about a third the size of the base, appeared, bathed in dark purple seawater.
It looks like a plant, but its tentacles are slapping the sea surface with their claws and fangs, rolling up wave after wave, and hitting the shore fiercely.
The buildings on the shore were submerged almost instantly, and some of them could not bear the weight and collapsed directly in the tide.
The sound of gunfire also stopped amidst the strong fluctuations of supernatural powers and the tide, and the people in the protective net finally discovered that something was wrong.
The headset nearly exploded.
"What happened? What's that ball?!"
"What's going on? When did the protective net become seawater-proof?"
"It's an alien! There's something wrong with the aliens out there!"
While Ran Yue was giving orders to comfort the people, he suddenly looked at Xu An.
She had already strengthened the protective net, so the supernatural fluctuations outside could not be transmitted inside!
But at this moment, Xu An looked over from afar as if he had already noticed it.
All kinds of emotions in the crowd had already poured into her continuously, the tempting smell of blood filled the air, and the ability-suppressing bracelet on her wrist was almost covered with cracks.
She endured all kinds of discomfort and watched from afar.
Finally, the mandragora plant felt the crystal core exposed to it by the alien species, and its sticky tentacle suckers slowly penetrated into it. A strange green liquid emerged from the holes in its suckers, dyeing the dark purple sea water.
"Finally here." Xu An took a deep breath and jumped from the top of the spire into the sea.
On the screen, the light spot at Xu An's position fell rapidly, and Lin Yu almost instantly untied the superpower suppression bracelet on her wrist.
Following the sound of metal breaking, there was a sudden "ding" sound in the air.
A red energy wave instantly exploded from the sky. Just as the tentacles of the mandragora plant had absorbed an alien crystal core and were about to withdraw it, they were suddenly cut off by a dagger mixed with scarlet energy waves.
The tentacles slapped the sea surface wildly, splashing water everywhere. Xu An flashed, and at the moment the dagger fell, another tentacle fell into the sea.
The alien species let out an angry roar, which was the wail of the mandragora plant.
Densely packed alien species summoned by the mandragora and driven mad gathered here, exposing their crystal cores and forcibly triggering [Dissolution]. The crystal cores that were broken by the triggering of [Dissolution] formed colorful fragments and gathered towards the mandragora plant.
Colorful, rainbow-like clouds flew up from the scarlet blood mist in the sky.
Multiple energy waves collided with each other, and it seemed as if there were all kinds of chaotic string sounds in the human brain, which finally broke completely at a moment.
The people in the "slums" of the base finally recovered their memories before [deconstruction]. That was 19 years ago, when the bloody mist in the sky once again collided with the waves on the seabed.
It's like the real end of the world has come.
The energy fluctuations carried by the alien roars almost shattered their bodies, turning them into bloody mist and reactivating the remaining alien genes in their bodies. Green liquid emerged from their facial features, and they grew strange and foul-smelling tentacles, turning them into aliens.
──This is the entire process of the transformation of Yin Shu and the researchers in his laboratory.
