“It’s my family.”
family……
The active metal wrapped around Xiaobai's limbs again. He could only move normally with the help of the substances he created and external forces. His overloaded biological core, the numerous wounds inside his body, and the hidden scars from being analyzed, tested, and squeezed over the years made his body almost unable to move on its own.
He was caught in the living metal and moved closer to the dormant dragon. The light blue jelly clinging to it crawled up, raised its semi-fluid body irregularly, and spread its tentacles to make itself appear larger.
Randomly, a wall of pink fluid blocked his approach. Ani's half-melted body enveloped Lin and Yuanyuan.
"He has taken the gene evolution potion." Xiaobai could only identify it by his sense of smell and ability. "I know how useful I am to you."
The tentacles wrapped around Long and Yuanyuan, wrapping them up into a ball and stuffing them completely into the body. But when carrying a living creature, she cannot completely close the mimicry, and the hole is opened in the chest. If his eyesight has not disappeared, he can clearly see the hot air coming out of the hole in the heart, and the solidified factor wraps around the simulated heart organ.
Her heart was beating non-stop, hot and surging.
"Let's go." Ani agreed with what he said about "usefulness".
Other tentacles grabbed his arms, and the active metal retreated and shrank, condensing into an imperceptible dot on his body. The body of the Creation Beast suddenly went limp and was caught by the tentacles. Annie picked him up.
In fact, it is better to memorize it, but this way you can observe his biological core more closely. The biological core located in Xiaobai's abdomen burned a mark on his skin, and his pale skin, which had not seen the sun for a long time, revealed a faint red glow.
Ani led him through the underground passage, and the spawned beasts avoided him one after another. She was distracted by the extent of the other party's damage and heard the slightest hurried breathing in her ear.
"I caught you..." A barely perceptible murmur entered my ear.
At the same time, the communicator in Annie's hand actively projected a light screen from the God of Valley. The screen was able to remain stable in the upper left corner even when moving at high speed. A new route map was constructed on it, and an emergency report on the interruption of the internal communications of the Second Legion of Morning Star appeared in the lower right corner.
Speaker Flanders Kakono, contact lost 1.42s ago. The entire Defense Team 1 around him was wiped out, only one person from the Defense Team 2 was still alive, and the seven Star Sea warriors in the Guard Group were all being automatically positioned, tracked, and suppressed by firepower from the intelligent machines.
The God of Ceres was not found. Her level is already infinitely close to that of intelligent life, and she was trained by Annie herself. She just doesn't have her own personality yet. But this also means that the Second Legion’s internal communications can also be accessed by the Mother Goddess.
Immediately afterwards, a large bright area on the route map suddenly darkened. Gu Shen's detection showed "No signal." Next to it appeared a notice that the server cluster in the area had been shut down.
Ani quickly scanned the screen and said, "You have captured the governor of the Second Legion."
"Hmm..." The sound that fell into the cochlea was as faint as dust.
He didn't have much energy, so Ani didn't continue asking. She guessed that the Speaker who had shown her goodwill and offered her benefits to join the Second Legion had now become a member of the beast herd. Perhaps this elderly nobleman was the worst human the metal beasts had ever eaten - not much of a boost to their health.
She didn't ask any more questions, and slowly tightened the arms around her neck. The silver-haired boy leaning against his chest closed his eyes slightly, and more like a blank muttering to himself than an explanation: "He is one of the main persons in charge of the evolution project. I met him in that prison..."
"He told me you are vital to the future of the league..."
Xiaobai said no more. His hair reflected a metallic luster. He stayed deeper in Annie's arms for a moment, breathing weakly.
"You are indeed crucial to the future of the Alliance now." Ani took over the conversation, "but it is a future of destruction, a future of war, and a future of constant compromise, not evolution. In the case of a full-scale rebellion by the omnics, the Alliance will continue to shut down server clusters, destroy hardware equipment, and even intend to tear apart Tianmu Star, where the original server of the Mother Goddess, that is, the super brain, is located."
"…They can back themselves up."
Annie looked at him in surprise. Xiaobai actually knew something about the intelligent machines. She thought that the other party had been in prison for a long time and was completely isolated from the outside world. "No matter how many backups there are, without the hardware that can carry them, it is still empty talk. The Zerg's home planet Mon'en restricts the use of advanced intelligence. They use isolation measures for artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness. Even in the central area next door, some areas of A2 have deliberately restricted the development of technology to retain chaos, primitiveness, uh, impulse and violence."
She turned another section of the underground passage and saw the ruins of a portion of the underground prison. Ani placed one hand on Xiaobai's back, and tentacles emerged and climbed up the ladder. She said in a steady tone: "We can move to Planet A2 first. I've been there before, and it's a little messy, but there shouldn't be any place that isn't messy right now."
The God of Valley projects a new light screen image. That was a picture that was banned from access on a large scale on Starnet. Some areas have been completely cut off from the star network, becoming isolated islands that are not monitored by intelligent machines and cannot transmit information.
This universe filled with the appearance of peace and alliances linked by interests will soon return to a dark jungle where one cannot see one's hand in front of one's face.
And this dying creature is the fuse of everything.
"Under this situation, the alliance is unable to take care of itself, and the hunting ground officials responsible for collecting money are probably finished. I don't know if my ranking can be saved. I don't like being ninth."
Climbing to the end of the ladder, Annie glanced at the closed alloy cover that was pointing upwards. Her fingertips turned into sharp mermaid claws, and her hands, as sharp as blades, dug open the weak area. "It's more accurate to say that. I don't like being ranked other than first."
Ani brought him back to the ground.
Submarine No. 01 scanned Annie's appearance, and its invisible shield was removed, revealing itself. Annie brought Xiaobai into the cabin, and No. 01 closed, became hidden and transparent again, and took off again.
Gu Shen was operating the automatic driving, and the prompt sound in the cabin was still the teacher's gentle voice. Annie let out a breath and felt a little relieved. She felt that the sound of breathing by her ears was almost gone.
After killing Flanders, he stopped creating new metal beasts, but the incomplete biological core was unable to support it and continued to leak energy outward. Xiaobai raised his distracted eyes slightly, but he didn't meet Annie's gaze. He just said, "Sister Annie."
"Yeah." Ani used mucus to repair the burned skin on his abdomen, revealing a hot concentrated sphere inside. This core was very irritating to the eyes and could not be looked at directly, but both parties were cosmic star beasts and could naturally ignore this. "Don't talk."
A drop of hot liquid fell, bright red, and a blood flower appeared on the back of her hand.
Ani suddenly raised her eyes. He bit his lower lip tightly, his pale lips were stained with blood, his light grey eyes stared blankly at everything in front of him. He stretched out his hand, suddenly groped for the air, and his fingertips gently touched Ani's cheek.
Ani looked at him in confusion. Then, Xiaobai turned around with all his strength, lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. He determined Ani's position and the blood did not splash on her again.
"I'm dying." His voice was hoarse. "Throw me off the ship. I'm going to explode."
He could see some things through the eyes of the metal beasts, but he could not use his own perspective. Inside the starship, it was dark and confusing, and I knew nothing. But the moment the beasts remaining on the ground saw the submarine appear, they knew it was a starship that could break away from the Morning Star and reach a safe place.
“Finally I’m glad to meet you…” His lips moved slightly again, but he didn’t say the follow-up words. He just repeated, “Sister, throw me down. The mimic beast can only… cough… cough…”
Xiaobai's genetic memory also retains information about other cosmic star beasts. It seems that many years ago, these rare races that were classified as a group put aside their grudges and met each other honestly at a vulnerable moment.
Annie's tentacles grabbed his body again. The other party struggled weakly, but had no strength to break free from the grip of the tentacles. She said, "I have been calculating your chances of survival all along the way."
“…”
"Without me, you would die," she said, "but with me here."
Ani paused for a moment, then raised her hand to touch the man's face. "He has been abused for a long time, is malnourished, and has internal injuries. He is dying soon. I am different from you. I have plenty of strength and means."
She clicked a few times on the light screen, and No. 01 activated the external energy shield, which rose to an altitude of 30,000 meters.
The biological core in the other party's abdomen has been moving so violently that it is on the verge of collapse.
At the moment when the core emitted a dazzling halo, Annie instantly liquefied into a huge amount of fluid and mucus, completely wrapping Xiaobai. She put the part that protected Yuanyuan and Lin behind her. The liquid in the front section surged wildly, covering the bright light and vibration inside. The energy shield activated by the starship shattered from the inside bit by bit and was consumed by another burst of power.
Unlike the gentle healing that had preceded it, each drop of liquid seemed to have a huge heat capacity. Tightly grasping his body and skin, a healthy and lively biological core appeared in the center of the liquid, and the core collided with the other party's damaged edge that was about to burn into powder.
In the pink liquid, Xiaobai's dark eyes were filled with a dazzling color. He breathed freely under her possession, their parts rubbing and blending, blood and tissue fluids saturating them enthusiastically. The impactful aroma stripped away his mind and senses, involving the thoughts of hundreds of millions of metal beasts - connecting with another thought.
The Mimic's strong covering not only protected him but also "read" him.
Xiaobai felt that his memories were being shared with the other party at a rapid speed.
This sharing is forced. He couldn't resist. Sister Ani's liquid dripped into her mind, penetrating her soul, and she regained those hazy and vague memories.
When it was first born, it growled ignorantly on that desolate planet - creating a new race that was hardworking and kind, living in a green jungle.
The fallen aircraft was discovered and captured by the exploration fleet...
The auction of the underground slave factory, the moment before the chip was implanted, the factory was destroyed due to the pain reaction, and handed over to the Second Legion...
Wearing the bioelectric detection controller, the evolution project is activated...
I kept meeting all kinds of people, and the faces of high-ranking officials and the speaker at the banquet were intertwined with the faces of people outside the prison...
A humanoid chip was implanted to fix the body shape of a 16-year-old boy. Drug development...
Increased regulation...
While these memories were conveyed to Annie, she also received the perspectives of hundreds of millions of metal beasts.
He has always shared the perspective of the herd? A large amount of information about the other party's creation flooded into Annie's mind. Fortunately, she had once joined the spiritual sharing network of the undead and had powerful information processing capabilities and mental strength.
Taking over the herd posed little problem for her. She continued with the order Xiaobai had given previously, and ordered the beast group to continue hunting down the high-ranking officials and enemies that appeared in his memory. Then the attention shifted to him.
The broken biological core, which was only a remnant, was filled with a lot of pink liquid. The external energy temporarily guaranteed its continuation. His life, as weak as a spark, gradually maintained a stable state.
Although it is very subtle, it is stable and there are no major problems.
More than a dozen tentacles grew out of the flowing liquid. One tentacle stretched into Xiaobai's abdomen, dehydrated the extremely sticky nectar, and filled his skin with a pink soft solid substance.
This substance comes from the body of another cosmic star beast and can resist the burning of the biological core. Then, the liquid gradually faded away, and the flowing powder liquid re-formed into a human shape.
Ani picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on casually. She supported Xiaobai and waved her hand in front of him.
"...I can smell it." He said softly.
I could smell the scent of her fingers brushing against my face.
"You have a lot to process in your mind." Ani pointed downwards, "What should we do with the herd?"
"The beasts...were created in Morning Star, and they belong to Morning Star." Xiaobai raised his eyes slowly, and he searched for Annie's location, trying to find where she was. She held his raised fingers, slowly closed his knuckles, and placed them on her legs with peace of mind.
"Ah, you call this an invasion of alien species. Well... even native species are invasions." Annie said, "The Free Alliance cannot lose Morning Star. After you stop creating new metal beasts, the army stationed in Morning Star will be able to quickly eliminate most of them and seize back important territory. If you want to stalemate with them, it's best to break up into small pieces."
“……” He looked in the direction where Annie spoke.
"We cannot compete with the Interstellar Corps for air superiority. We should give up the main area centered on the Skylon Tower and set up a defense line in the neighboring cities. We should carry out small-scale harassment outside the defense line through sewers and various hidden streets. Their current focus must be on the intelligent machines..."
Ani said this and saw that his expression remained unchanged. Xiaobai is very delicate, with hair that gleams with metallic luster and a pair of light grey, lifeless eyes.
He opened his lips slightly: "Sister, I don't understand."
Ani raised her hand to her chin and looked at his handsome and delicate face. His long silver eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was still a little red on his lips from spitting blood.
"I've met enough illiterate people." Ani wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with her fingertips.
"sorry."
"It's okay. This is my literacy plan." Annie searched inside No. 01 and took out the communicator she had used before. She set the communicator to blind mode and put it on the other person's hand.
"God of the Valley?"
As her voice awakened him, Gu Shen copied a simplified version of himself onto Xiao Bai's communicator: "I'm here."
Ani: "Test his vital signs, teach him the more advanced usage of the universal language, common sense, and... a guide robot."
"OK."
The household robot in the starship was turned into a guide version by an intelligent program. It rolled on four small wheels and slid in front of Xiaobai. A rope extended from its head. The robot held the rope and put itself on Xiaobai's hand. It has good self-management function.
He stroked the rope in his hand blankly, then put the rope beside him and groped for Ani's hand.
Ani: “……?”
"Sister." He paused, trying to form his words, but his words were simple and he was not very social, so he just said it again, "Sister."
He lowered his eyes and endured for a few seconds, then slowly loosened his fingers and took the rope handed to him by the robot, as if he was a beat slow to react.
