Chapter 185 Nothing is Immortal
"Can you still walk?"
Zhang Molan still needed to save other people and couldn't stay to take care of this woman.
They didn't bring many people with them this time. If she couldn't walk, she would have to ask Zhang Haitao and others who were following him to protect her, and then gather everyone together and escort them out together after cleaning up the place.
After the woman stood up, she pushed away Zhang Molan's hand, then her lips curled up stiffly, revealing a strange and ferocious smile.
She staggered forward two steps, as if sensing Zhang Molan's lack of movement, staring at her. The woman flexed her wrist, waved at him, then ignored him and walked out the door with hatred on her face.
Zhang Molan followed and saw that the woman lost her balance as she walked out the door and fell down. Then she crawled on all fours, turned a corner quickly, and disappeared from their sight.
Watching her leave, Zhang Molan closed his eyes tightly, then turned around and called out to the remaining three people to go with him to rescue other tribesmen.
Time waits for no one, and he believes that the tribesmen whose shackles he has freed from can protect themselves.
The most urgent thing is to save others first.
Zhang Benan did find a few cubs from that laboratory, but... they were all like the child Zhang Molan met for the first time.
Half human, half beast, neither fish nor fowl…
It was the first time that Zhang Benan saw his own bloodline being destroyed in this way. He was so angry that his hands were shaking, and he became more and more cruel to those beasts in white coats.
Those experimental subjects who were freed from their shackles and who were still conscious joined their rescue team.
The monsters, having lost their minds and left with only animal instincts, were driven by their still rational companions and turned into their sharpest swords, wantonly slaughtering those who had harmed them.
Wang Mingchuan's original calmness and ease had long since disappeared. He had now hidden in the high-tech control center, and was looking at the largest screen in the middle with disbelief and hatred.
"Why can't the backup plans I set up be activated? Did you change the instructions without permission?"
The screen showed a young, classical man who looked gentle and had an ethereal air. His face was flawless and every inch of his figure was just right, as if it had been calculated by a computer, displaying a kind of soulless perfection.
"I want to see him."
The handsome but lifeless man on the screen spoke in a mechanical voice. When Wang Mingchuan heard what he said, he became more and more angry and his face was covered with gloom.
"Damn it, you're betraying me! I knew you were no good. If you can betray the Wang family, you can betray me. I should have thought of it earlier."
Faced with his rage, the man on the screen didn't show any fluctuation in expression and spoke in a serious tone.
"I'm collaborating with the entire Wang family. I'm simply calculating the best options for my partners. The Wang family's older generation's ideas are outdated. The new era requires a patriarch who dares to experiment and is determined to make progress.
After data screening, you are the most suitable. Although the Phoenix bloodline in your body is thin, if you and those in the main bloodline are dedicated to the family and work together for the future, the Phoenix Wang family would not have reached its current state.
It was you, the clan leader, who, in order to satisfy your own selfish desires, pushed your entire clan onto the dissection table, gradually destroying your own clan."
Wang Mingchuan's most secret thoughts were revealed, and his face twisted for a moment. Then his emotions reached a peak, but he became calm again.
"No matter what, we are always your most suitable partners. Without us, where can you, a digital lifeform living in the cyber world, go? Who can accommodate you? Who will help you pursue your dream of immortality?
While there's still time, quickly deploy the backup plans I've set up, trap those people outside, and then send a message to the nearby Seventh Brother, asking them to come over for support..."
"It's too late."
The door of the main control room slowly opened, and a voice that was very unfamiliar to Wang Mingchuan suddenly rang out.
Zhang Moyu stood straight outside the door of the control room with an extremely stern expression. Behind him was Zhang Hailou and his group who had just dealt with the people stationed outside and casually threw the corpses in their hands into the corner.
"How did you get here so quickly?!"
Wang Mingchuan turned around in an instant and saw this scene. He knew that the outcome was already decided, and he felt both timid and embarrassed.
Zhang Moyu did not sense any particularly strong blood aura from this person, and judging from the other person's breathing and heart rate, he was not a very powerful martial artist.
Ever since he showed up, Zhang Moyu has never even looked at Wang Mingchuan, his attention always focused on the man on the big screen.
He simply raised his hand and gestured to the people behind him, and Zhang Hailou and several others stepped forward to subdue this member of the Wang family who was obviously of unusual status and took him away.
"You're here."
The man greeted calmly with a mechanical response. Zhang Moyu looked up and down at the man in the picture with a strange expression on his face, then glanced at the unknown high-tech products around him, and spoke in an inexplicable tone.
"Xu Junfang?"
The man in the picture showed a faint smile for the first time. His smile was so standard that it seemed to be carefully designed, elegant and friendly.
“He is me, but I am not him.
Long time no see, Zhang Qiling."
The picture on the screen where "Xu Fu" was staying suddenly froze for a moment, and then returned to being smooth again.
"No, maybe I should call you the patriarch of the 'Mo' generation."
Zhang Moyu was not surprised that he saw through his identity. After all, it had been so many years since he set up the game, and the people involved should have realized it long ago.
What's more, after he returned this time, he has been using his real name when he goes out and has never concealed it.
He was surprised that the traps and firearms embedded in the corridor were all locked.
Although they are confident that they can win even if all these defensive and offensive means are used, it will definitely not be as easy as it is now.
"Why are you helping me?"
"Xu Fu" controlled the robotic arm to lift up several detection devices and scanned them at Zhang Moyu. Zhang Moyu did not feel that the other party had any ill intentions towards him, nor did he sense any danger. He just stood there and wanted to see what he was going to do.
"He failed in his pursuit of immortality, and I will never succeed. My existence has long been meaningless, and I am only one opportunity away from disappearing."
After confirming that Zhang Moyu was indeed a pure member of the Zhang family and had no concealment, and was exactly the same as the person two thousand years ago, "Xu Fu" asked curiously.
"The Qin Dynasty was more than two thousand years ago. Why are you still alive? Can you tell me the reason?"
Zhang Moyu was silent for a moment, thinking of that genius who was once brilliant but also a flash in the pan in the long river of history, he couldn't help but feel some inexplicable emotions in his heart.
"My situation cannot be replicated. There may be longevity in this world, but there is no eternal life."
After experiencing the horror world, Zhang Moyu knew that the world was nothing more than a huge living organism composed of all life. It would also get sick and come to an end. Nothing was eternal.
