The hatch slowly opened, and a gust of cold air blew in, as if the cold wind of the end of the world had rushed into the bronze cabin ahead of time.
Jiang suddenly pounced on Chen Yao like a hunting cheetah, growling, "Come, let me see..."
Mou Xuan was quick-witted and quick-handed. He dodged in front of Shen Yao in just 0.3 seconds and quickly wrapped her tightly in an isolation suit.
His eyes were stern and his tone was firm: "There is a 0.2 second delay in the joints of your mechanical body." After that, his lines stretched out like a snake and pierced into Jiang's neck fiercely, instantly sensing the hidden imprint of power.
"Self-destruction program..." Shen's holographic projection suddenly appeared in the cabin. The structural diagram of the alliance base was displayed on the alloy screen, and a red warning sign was flashing.
Jiang's eyes lit up and a cold aura spread out, as if he had already anticipated this step.
"The lines are guiding us!" Chen Yao suddenly tore off the isolation suit and wrapped her arms around Mou Xuan's wrist from behind, her voice filled with a hint of urgency and determination.
Mou Xuan's palm formed a strong resonance with the twin patterns on the key. All the bronze devices in the cabin seemed to be activated by some force. The patterns on the metal surface began to flow colorfully, making a low roar.
Jiang's mechanical eye suddenly shot out a dazzling red light, pressing directly against Mou Xuan: "What a pity, your news is too slow." Mou Xuan's heart tightened, and in a flash, he activated his 0.7-second time ability, dodged three times in a row, and finally cut Jiang's nerve cord within 0.1 seconds.
The action was done in one go, without any delay.
"Chen Yao, use my blood to activate it..." Mou Xuan's voice was low and firm. He stretched out his hand and cut his wrist, and blood gushed out instantly.
Chen Yao smeared his blood on the key without hesitation, and the lines of the two reached an unprecedented resonance at this moment.
The lines quickly spread across the cabin wall, forming an indestructible protective shield that isolated the cabin from the outside world and blocked the approaching swarm of nano-insects.
The protective shield emitted a low humming sound, as if an ancient power was fighting against the evil of the end times.
The lines on Yin's protective suit had already devoured his heart. His body was shaking constantly, and his voice was intermittent as if he was about to collapse: "You... won't succeed..." Mou Xuan ignored him and decisively inserted the blood-stained key into the console: "0.5 seconds of superpowers! I want raw power!"
The console emitted a deafening roar, and all the bronze devices in the cabin instantly released powerful energy, completely tearing Yin's protective suit apart.
Yin's body seemed to be torn into pieces at this moment, and the patterns on the protective suit quickly dissipated and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke.
Jiang's body suddenly twisted violently, and eventually split in two, revealing the form of a baby at the core.
The baby's eyes flashed with a strange red light, and his voice was childish but full of majesty: "I am Experiment No. 299."
Mou Xuan's eyes narrowed, and an inexplicable chill surged in his heart.
He held Chen Yao's hand tightly, the air in their cabin seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
"The real battle has just begun." Jiang's voice was like an unreachable echo, but it reverberated in the cabin for a long time.
The bronze cabin made a low gurgling sound, which traveled through the floor to Mou Xuan's boots.
Suddenly, the smooth surface of the control panel shimmered, then split open like a ripe watermelon, revealing a hidden compartment.
Two intricate emblems, perfectly overlapping like some strange cosmic tattoo, glowing an eerie green light.
That's it - double lock.
Just as the last flickering afterimage of Jiang's childish hologram faded into the air, a faint, almost inaudible whisper echoed through the cabin: "Save me."
This was something Mou Xuan had never expected.
Save him?
This weirdo who just wanted to turn him into nano food?
This is simply adding insult to injury.
But the strange resonance coming from the Governor's Palace...something's wrong.
Mou Xuan ignored the tingling feeling of unease running up his spine and pressed his hand, which was still throbbing and bleeding from the power of the double crest, against the partition.
As soon as his blood hit the cold metal, a shockwave of energy swept through the cabin, making the air crackle.
The dual emblems on his hands and the emblems within the compartments shone simultaneously, a dazzling symphony of emerald flames.
At the same time, a shrill, almost inhuman wail broke the relative silence, coming from the direction of the Governor's Palace.
It was the sound of a baby crying, distorted and amplified, mixed with deep, piercing blasts.
The ground beneath their feet was shaking, and the air seemed to be filled with the crackling sound of impending doom.
What exactly happened?
Mou Xuan felt conflicted.
This feels like something much, much more serious than an AI experiment gone awry.
It feels like the end of the world.
