Chapter 73
The atmosphere in the room, which seemed to have become the filming site of a horror movie, was silent. Wen Yuxiao ignored the bionic man who was showing goodwill to her and hurriedly withdrew her gaze. She turned around and the bionic woman she had just admired also opened her eyes and looked at her with a smile.
Not just these two, but all the other bionic people in the jars pushed aside the green nutrient solution in front of them and pressed their cheeks close to the thick layer of transparent glass in front of them. Their curious gazes, like those of newborns, passed over another insignificant visitor and silently repeated the call for Wen Yuxiao in unison. From their mouth movements, one could easily discern what they were saying: "Your Highness."
In this situation, Wen Yuxiao, who was the center of everyone's attention, took a breath silently, quickly approached Yun Yuxi, who was still in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking, and grabbed the other's arm tightly to give himself some sense of security. Although he knew that these things were harmless to him, could your way of appearance not be so scary?
"I found something interesting!" Seeing his sister coming over, Yun Yuxi, who seemed to have figured out something, snapped his fingers happily and ignored the curious looks of the canned bionic people.
What a joke! As a god who has been sculpting people with her bare hands for years and is often admired by the masses, Yun Yuxi has long been accustomed to all kinds of gazes, whether they are looks of fear, desire, anger, or madness. Her creations have shown her more complex and ardent gazes, so now this little bit of attention from the bionic people can only be sprinkled with water.
Yun Yuxi nimbly passed through the gap between the two cans and went around to the rear area. He grabbed the black supply line on the ground and showed it to Wen Yuxiao: "Look! We can follow this to find their source."
Although bionic people are boring and can be easily created with a pinch of the hand, the secrets hidden behind them are still quite interesting.
Just as Yun Yuxi picked up the supply line and waved it, the air suddenly rang with the sound of a bird flapping its wings and its feathers cutting through the air.
The silver carrier pigeon they had seen not long ago suddenly appeared from nowhere, circling twice in the air with great conspicuousness before landing gracefully on Wen Yuxiao's shoulder. Despite its large size, it was incredibly light, like a fallen leaf carried by the breeze, accidentally clinging to a collar.
The metal claws were not sharp, and any parts that might cause discomfort to their owner were concealed. Under Wen Yuxiao's astonished gaze, the carrier pigeon's round, lovely beak opened and closed, uttering a series of words of advice: "Your Excellency, please put down the pipes in your hands... I'm sorry, it's not that I disagree with your actions, but they are very fragile and difficult to repair."
After saying that, it spread its wings and bowed gracefully to Yun Yuxi. It was hard to believe, but every move of this bird made it look like a gentle and polite gentleman.
Yun Yuxi was certainly not the type to deliberately contradict others. She held up these strange black pipes just to let Wen Yuxiao see them clearly. After knowing that the thing in her hand was fragile and very expensive, she tried to control her strength, slowly squatted down, and gently put the pipes back in place. She even wanted to catch the bird to let it see if there was any damage.
The carrier pigeon nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Excellency."
Then, it also noticed the gazes coming from all directions. The bird shook its head in distress. Seeing that some of the more impulsive androids were already banging on the jars with their hands, trying to deliver their own babies and break through this barrier, its blue gemstone eyes darkened. "That won't do, children. You'll scare His Highness."
The carrier pigeon spread its wings, blocking Wen Yuxiao's view, and then the bright lights in the room flashed without warning.
This process lasted about three or four seconds. Because the bird standing on her shoulder covered her eyes with its wings in advance, Wen Yuxiao did not feel any flash in her eyes. She only felt that the light and dark in front of her eyes switched rapidly several times. When the wings were lowered, the nutrient solution in the jar had turned into a calm and silent blue.
The bionic people soaked in it had heavy eyelids and felt drowsy. They tried to raise their hands and wave their uncontrollable limbs to move. A second before closing their eyes, they looked at the bird with a strange, angry and sad look, as if their eyes were telling them why we are the same kind, but only you can stand by the master?
The carrier pigeon never explained to anyone, just as its core was actually the cold and ruthless controller of this place. It only cared about its own owner, who allowed it to stand by its side.
Forced to fall into a deep sleep, the carrier pigeon's round eyes looked at the young goddess who seemed to have been forgotten by it, so she was completely unprepared and was caught off guard and blinded by the attack. Now, she covered her face with her hands and tried to recover: "I am very sorry, Your Excellency."
Yun Yuxi, who had only just been remembered, resisted the urge to complain, "Why are you apologizing for something that's already happened?" Thinking about not losing face, he relaxed his frown, lowered his hand, forced a smile, and said stubbornly, "It's okay, that's all."
Ahhh… She was wailing in her heart, this is my rotten strong character in this life.
Fortunately, she didn't have to be strong all her life, because her strength had come - Wen Yuxiao, who knew her sister's nature, sighed and walked forward to blow on her eyes: "Okay, okay, don't move, I'll help you blow."
But this warm and cozy scene was soon disrupted by the arrival of a carrier pigeon. As if unintentionally, the bird waited quietly for a moment, then stood high above, watching Yun Yuxi's pitiful and coquettish behavior with cold eyes. Suddenly, it said, "Your Highness, are you here to check on our research results?"
Wen Yuxiao froze at the sudden call, releasing her hand that had been pulling at Yun Yuxi's eyelids. Not only had she never seen this place before, but there were also so many androids. She pursed her lips, her heart racing as she thought she'd accidentally gotten into trouble, causing trouble for the Zerg. She replied cautiously, "Uh... well, I'm just walking around, just walking around."
"By the way, where did this thing of yours come from?" Yun Yuxi looked at the silver-white character, and suddenly reached out and poked its belly, which looked particularly fluffy and soft. As expected, it was hard and cold. "I didn't see you when I came in."
The carrier pigeon smiled. I don't know how it did it, but this bird smiled in a strange, gentle way. Its eyes narrowed slightly. "I was charging in the corner before. It's normal that you didn't notice."
After some awkward conversation, Wen Yuxiao realized this wasn't some forbidden place. The room outside was where thousands of androids were trained and placed, ready to be used as tools when needed. The Zerg didn't really care about ethics; they didn't even care about their own kind, viewing them only as threatening competitors whose survival value was diminished if they couldn't match theirs.
In short, there is no creature more inward-looking than the Zerg.
The only one who cares about moral ethics is Her Majesty Queen Wen Yuxiao. She has empathy and will treat even the mass-produced machines well as long as they have wisdom and their own way of thinking.
During Wen Yuxiao's absence, the Zerg had probably picked up all the research she had deliberately put aside. Should the progress and development of science be based on morality? Sorry, they don't have such a thing. As long as they pay the price and get the results, they are happy to do it.
Just walk through the long passage in front of you, pass by countless sleeping bionic people, and push open the last door, and you will find the place where the terminal body is stored.
The level of confidentiality was indeed high, but for Wen Yuxiao, as long as it was within her territory, she had no obstacles. Therefore, when she came here on her own initiative, the alarm device here was not triggered. The bionic people simply sensed the arrival of their creator and, according to the set program, opened their eyes and eagerly wanted to reach her.
The fun stuff Yun Yuxi was talking about was the terminal's local area. With the idea of "since we're already here," Wen Yuxiao actually wanted to find out what the Zerg had come up with. Responding to her request, the robot bird raised its wings, leaving Wen Yuxiao's shoulder and hovering in mid-air, leading the way: "Then please follow me."
The androids were probably really useful, so they made so many of them. Seeing their curious eyes scanning the number on the lower right side of the jar, Bird took the initiative to explain: these androids have different models, and the previous iterations and the latest models are all stored here.
Arriving at the door at the back, the carrier pigeon stopped flying and landed on the ground, respectfully retreating to the side. Confused, Wen Yuxiao took a step forward and discovered that the smooth door had no handle, only a small device to close it.
Suddenly, the device embedded in the door activated, and the outer metal shell lifted, revealing a sapphire blue eye that rotated and surveyed everyone present. It locked onto Wen Yuxiao, standing in the front row, and emitted a light beam, rapidly scanning her entire body. "Authorization Passed, Highest Authority" was etched deep within its pupil.
Click—that was the sound of the door opening. It was obviously a high-tech room and there was no need to push the door open manually. The metal plate in front of him was seen deforming and shrinking, revealing layer upon layer of authentication devices inside.
Fortunately, it didn't require that much trouble. Perhaps the highest authority played a role. Several layers of metal plates opened in front of them at the same time. The faint roar of the machine was endless. Although it was not harsh, it also gave rise to a slightly nervous sense of anticipation in Wen Yuxiao's heart.
When all obstacles were removed and the mysterious room finally revealed itself to them, Yun Yuxi calmly took two steps forward, passing the carrier pigeon that seemed to have lost its spirit and stood there motionless, neither moving nor speaking. She shielded it behind her and said, "I'll go over and take a look first."
"Yeah." Although it was their own territory and there was absolutely no danger, Wen Yuxiao had become accustomed to the way the two of them did things. In addition, Yun Yuxi's tolerance threshold for abnormal things was much higher than hers, so usually when encountering something new, the latter would be the first to touch it.
Holding my sister's hand, I slowly walked into this spacious room. The first thing that came into view was a huge brain soaked in a jar and connected to countless colorful data cables.
Its surface is trembling slightly, emitting a strange signal that "I'm still alive".
It was probably the brain of a Zerg, or possibly that of some unknown creature. Yun Yuxi thought for two seconds when she glanced at this scene, and soon her gaze slid down, so that she saw more brains. Although their size was not as big as the one in the middle, they were more numerous and densely packed, making the layout of the entire room look like a huge circuit board.
"Wow." Yun Yuxi smiled sincerely, praising him sincerely while sighing, "What a great idea."
