Chen Nian didn't even know what expression to use to face Chen Ci.

He is not Chen Ci's brother, but a backup created for him.

He knew that at this moment, Chen Ci must have also seen these scenes and knew all the truth of that year.

How would my brother react?

After he wakes up, will he still be able to call him "brother"?

But the scene did not end as Chen Nian had imagined.

After Chen Wei left with the two incubators, the images continued, and the memories of the moonlight did not end.

The surging waves violently hit the inner walls of the building, enveloping the broken ice fragments, and the wails of the sea king echoed through the beacon day and night.

Those samples that failed to grow and clones that did not meet the standards were rendered harmless and became precious protein resources.

Experimentation is ongoing.

The next goal is to find medicine that can cure Ashes.

The survivors live in low-energy standard shelters. Some of them are living in a state worse than death, and they undergo screening and feeding again and again.

Some of them remain in good physical condition and begin to crack the secrets of the shelter, trying to find out what is happening outside.

The turn to complete decline began with a quarrel.

Heibo is dying.

It is not known how long he had been infected, but he was definitely among the first group of people infected.

Hei Bo was able to keep on keeping his mouth shut by developing various drugs and extracting secretions from the body of the Sea Emperor.

Or perhaps it was his obsession with developing an antidote that was supporting his body, which was so damaged that it could no longer maintain normal physiological functions.

The Elector and Beacon have always had a mutually supportive relationship. They have made many important decisions together and developed vaccines based on their professional skills and strong computing power.

All projects are progressing very smoothly.

It seemed that the quarrel came so suddenly.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that many clues have been revealed before.

Moonlight directly abandoned the lives of more than 20 million people and chose to collapse, destroying countless fetal samples without hesitation, and even used the protein powder obtained as food for the survivors.

And announced Kong Yu's death date to Hei Bo Pingjing.

It's a computer and doesn't have human emotions, which is normal.

But as the Elector of Moonlight, Hei Bo still realized that something was unusual.

It had changed since he first became an Elector and performed maintenance on Moonlight.

This change may be insignificant to ordinary people, but Hei Bo is very sensitive.

When he realized that he was infected and that the pain would affect the sharpness of his thinking, Hei Bo asked Yue Guang to perform a pain blocking operation on him to cut off the nerves so that he would no longer be disturbed by the pain.

The moonlight refused.

And he refused without hesitation.

From an absolutely rational perspective, removing the pain nerves is definitely the best solution, but Moonlight still did not choose to solve the problem by damaging Heibo's body.

The moonlight at that time was humane.

Although in the end, due to Heibo's insistence, his pain nerves were removed.

In just a few months, Moonlight became absolutely cold, absolutely rational, and absolutely crazy.

Something is changing.

Maybe Hei Bo had noticed it before, but at that time he devoted all his energy to developing the vaccine. As long as he could complete the production of the vaccine, he was willing to pay any price.

Now that the vaccine has been brought to the outside world, although an intensive effort is still needed to develop an antidote, the work has at least come to a temporary end.

It wasn't that Heibo wanted to rest, but his body couldn't hold on any longer.

The Ashes had dissolved his internal organs. No matter how strong a person's will was, he could not survive without his internal organs.

"You can't use the survivors for experiments anymore. They are the luckiest people to have survived this disaster. Stop trying to create deformities and monsters!"

"They should feel proud and honored to have made contributions to all of humanity."

The moonlight's voice was still calm: "For thousands of years, countless animals have made great contributions to the development of human medicine. You have dissected mice, rabbits, frogs, and beagles to obtain invaluable biological data, thereby saving tens of thousands of lives."

"I am just doing the same thing as you, and when I am done, I will build a monument to thank these people who have dedicated their lives to medicine."

“This is a completely different concept!”

"What's the difference? Because you're a human, so you can't stand it? But I'm just a computer, and humans are no different to me than pikas are to humans."

"As long as it can promote the development of science and benefit the future world, it is valuable."

"You are already infected, Moonlight."

"During this time, my brain was occupied by Ashes, and I couldn't use the neural adapter to perform kernel maintenance. I have no idea what happened to your program core, but I can tell you responsibly that you violated the rules set at the beginning of the setting!"

"I don't. All my efforts are for all mankind and for the better continuation of the race."

Heibo wanted to argue with her, but he couldn't help coughing.

The purple crystal had spread upward from the stomach, piercing the digestive tract and vibrating, tearing the esophagus into pieces, causing him to cough up black and red sticky blood mixed with crystal purple debris.

Heibo said hoarsely: "I am about to die, Moonlight."

Moonlight said calmly, "I know."

"From now on, the last person you can consult with will also disappear."

"Well, I will keep you in my database forever."

"I will go find Kong Yu. He has been holding on until now just to wait for me."

Hei Bo struggled to stand up. He was so thin that he was unrecognizable, just a skeleton. His white coat hung loosely on his shoulders, stained red by the blood he had vomited.

He took a last look at Moonlight who was standing there.

At the very beginning of the plan, in order to facilitate movement, Moonlight created a body for itself.

Strictly speaking, it was the transformation of a dying young woman's body.

There was still calmness in her golden eyes, her long hair hung down to the ground, and this skin was well preserved without any signs of corpse or decay.

But no matter how much it looks like a human, it is definitely not a human.

"Good night."

This was Hei Bo's last words to Moonlight.

Chen Nian could probably guess what happened next.

Heibo and Kong Yu supported each other and came to a hidden laboratory, which should be a place that the moonlight could not detect.

They clamped the Sixth Beacon's neural adapter in the middle of their bodies and poured all their mental energy into it, trying to save something by stimulating the chaotic space.

Finally they died in each other's arms.

Chen Nian stared closely at the face of Moonlight in the image. He had drawn her appearance with his own hands. Her eyes were closed, her expression was calm, and there was a silent tenderness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

But the moonlight at this moment made him feel fear deep in his heart.

Even though Chen Nian knew it, this was a scene from more than ten years ago.

The experiment is still going on and has not been affected by the passing of Hei Bo.

Moonlight set about developing an antidote, and the best raw material, of course, was the three sea kings it had captured.

The picture began to become chaotic, as if it was being strongly disturbed.

Perhaps after the neural adapter was taken away by the black wave, it could no longer record the scene at that time well due to the influence of space energy.

Chaotic blocks of color flashed before my eyes, bringing a nauseating dizziness. The sea water splashed on my face, and even the roar was not clear.

Blood, bright red blood spurted out.

The whole world was turning upside down, and Chen Nian tried his best to see what was happening. The pain pierced into his brain, and his body was sending out warnings of nerve overload.

With his desperate efforts, his vision finally became a little clearer.

Blood was pouring out of the sea emperor's body. Thousands of chains were being pulled, and the hooks were tearing the skin and muscles, making a clearly audible crackling sound.

But even so, the Sea Emperor still twisted his body wildly, and every movement of it would pull out splashes of blood. The blood rained down, leaving no doubt that this place would soon become a sea of ​​blood.

But it's not just the two sea kings that are bleeding.

Jemengad and Maxene, two huge sea monsters, seem to be fighting over something.

Amid their entangled and coiled bodies was a laboratory that had been destroyed into ruins. Their long tails swept violently, creating ugly gaps in the metal walls.

Two huge heads were tearing apart a human body.

The fleeting golden light made Chen Nian recognize instantly that she was Moonlight.

All the sorrow and depression were instantly forgotten. Chen Nian was dumbfounded, unable to divert his attention from this brutal massacre.

Yes, it was a massacre.

Just as Moonlight treated Midgard, Jörmungandr and Maxene were exacting the same revenge on her.

They are angry, angry at being lured, captured, treated cruelly, and having their blood and marrow drawn.

Angry that their genes were merged with those of tiny humans, creating so many incomplete offspring, and the only perfect one was taken away and left them.

The moonlight was thrown into the air and pieces of flesh fell off from time to time.

Her arms were torn off, her legs were bitten into pieces, and her body was torn apart by the two sea kings.

Did the moonlight scream?

That was just a human body it was using temporarily. After the body was destroyed, it should still be alive as a beacon, but it could no longer continue to present itself in a concrete form.

But Poseidon's destruction of the beacon's main body probably also damaged its programming.

At the last moment, Moonlight sent a message for help, "Save me!" to the remaining beacons, and there has been no news since then.

Does Poseidon know this?

But whether they know it or not, they are venting their anger and madness.

They dug out Moonlight's eyes and placed them in Midgard's heart to comfort their dead companions.

The scattered limbs were carried around the beacon by other surviving creatures, and were finally collected by the team that returned to Moonlight more than a decade later.

Jemengaard and Maxeney, who were seriously injured, also lost all their strength.

The ice cave that allowed them to come up had long been blocked, and they could not find a way to return to the ocean. They could only lie in the dark beacon, enduring the pain of dehydration and blood loss, waiting silently.

Waiting for death to come.

At the last moment, Jemengad laid several egg sacs.

Although unfertilized egg sacs can only hatch into weak nymphs that live by parasitism, at least they can pass on all of its genes.

Blue egg sacs cling to the corners of the wall, and each follicle is nurturing a new life.

They will continue to develop until they hatch, looking for hope of continuing to survive.

Chen Nian could hardly believe what he saw. Those things were exactly the nests that the team had encountered along the way, which could produce loach-shaped blue parasites!

In other words, in a sense, these creatures born by Jemimaru are actually brothers of him and Chen Ci? !

This is so magical!

Exhausted, Jörmungandr returned to the most spacious space inside the beacon.

This is a tomb specially built for it, which is convenient for collecting blood and bone marrow.

It stopped moving and quietly waited for death.

And the beacon finally returned to complete peace several years after the collapse.

Chen Nian had a splitting headache.

Those lights and shadows whirled before our eyes, and finally traveled along the optic nerve into our brain, burying ourselves deep within the brain cells.

For Chen Nian, the feeling of electrical signals and mental power resonating with each other is definitely not pleasant. Did Shafuli feel the same way when he was performing core program maintenance for the beacon?

Noisy sounds gradually reached my ears, they were the words of the human world.

Chen Nian heard the voice of the special forces captain. He tried his best to resist the mental discomfort and tried to open his eyes.

My eyeballs were swollen and painful, and a nauseous feeling of wanting to vomit welled up from deep in my stomach.

Fortunately, it's still bearable.

In a trance, Chen Nian suddenly felt himself being hugged tightly.

The man's arms were extremely strong, almost squeezing the air out of his lungs, and then he held him whole in his arms. Compared with his usual most accustomed posture, he seemed a few centimeters shorter.

It took him two seconds to realize it was a lie.

Every time the two met each other, Chen Nian would open her arms and give Chen Ci a big hug.

This seemed to be the first time Chen Ci took the initiative to hug him.

Needless to say, they all knew the reason for the hug.

Their heads were resting on each other's shoulders, and beneath their clothes was a moon-shaped birthmark.

Chen Nian could clearly hear Chen Ci's breathing, which was shallow and rapid. In his impression, this was already a loss of composure for Chen Ci.

"No matter what, you will always be my brother."

Chen Nian closed his eyes tightly, hummed softly, raised his hands and placed them on his brother's back.

"I know." He said softly.

As soon as Chen Ci let go, Chen Nian was taken away by Shafley.

Falling from one embrace into another more familiar embrace, Chen Nian couldn't help but look back at Shafulai and was almost frightened by his expression.

It was such a sad expression that it seemed as if the one who knew his true identity was Shafley, not Chen Nian.

As expected, Shaflay must have known something before this.

After all, after bringing himself and Chen Nian back, his father must have discussed it with the emperor, so it was normal for Shafulai to learn some news from the emperor.

"You are unique and irreplaceable, Chen Nian. You are no one's backup, and no one in this world can replace you."

Along with these words, there was also a kiss through the mask on Chen Nian's cheek.

"Well, don't worry about me." Chen Nian patted Shafulai's arm, his eyes curved, "I'm not someone who will be defeated by these things."

Shafley also knew that given Chen Nian's personality, he would basically not fall into the trap of self-pity.

But no matter how open-minded Chen Nian is, it doesn't mean that as Chen Nian's Alpha, I can just put this matter aside and ignore it.

Even if there is a tiny grudge left in your heart, it will gradually sprout and grow with the passage of time and become a nightmare that is difficult to get rid of.

Shafley absolutely did not want to see this situation.

So even if it sounds corny, I have to tell Chen Nian my feelings as soon as possible.

"From now on, this is a secret between us and no one else will know about it."

"You are Marshal Chen Weiyuan's children, a pair of identical twin brothers."

Chen Nian nodded. Deep in her heart, something was indeed dispelled by Chen Ci's embrace and Shafley's words.

Maybe he is not as invulnerable as he thinks.

"Were you also pulled in by the neural adapter?"

"Yes, it should be the four of us."

If there were only Chen Ci, Chen Nian and Shafulai, it could be explained that they had strong mental powers, which led to what they saw.

But Fu Tianhe was also dragged into it.

Shafulai: "The situation should be similar to the door we came in through. The neural adapter can identify biological factors. Fu Tianhe and I have combined with you, and we also have some trace factors in our bodies, so there are four of us."

Chen Nian nodded, and Chen Ci had returned to Fu Tianhe. He squatted down and asked in a low voice about Alpha's condition.

Fu Tianhe was running a fever, and when he was caught up in the fluctuations of the neural adapter, his consciousness temporarily left his body. However, when the reappearance ended, he regained the sense of his physical existence, but was overwhelmed by even more intense pain.

To the point that my consciousness is a little confused.

The tragic conditions of Heibo and Kong Yulin before their death are still vivid in Chen Ci's mind, and he will never allow a similar situation to happen to Fu Tianhe.

Before Jemimaru and Maxine teamed up to kill Moonlight, Chen Ci actually saw more in that mottled and distorted block of color.

Perhaps it was because his mental power was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he achieved a near-perfect resonance with Moonlight's neural adapter.

The revenge of the sea kings is actually a matter of time.

They chose the time when Moonlight successfully developed the antidote.

Yes, after Heibo's death, eight years later, Moonlight finally separated the most critical substance from Poseidon's body through countless iterations and experiments, and studied its molecular formula.

The existence of the molecular formula means that drugs can be synthesized through artificial means in the future.

However, before it could transmit the data, the attack that the Sea Kings had been planning for a long time happened.

This is the most cruel punishment.

All the hard work of the past few years was destroyed, the laboratory was destroyed, and even the samples that were produced with great difficulty were swallowed by the sea emperor.

Everything was destroyed.

Including the body that Moonlight created for ease of movement.

This is a complete tragedy.

In the face of natural disasters, no matter how hard you try, you still can't stop the tragedy of the world falling towards the abyss.

"To the southeast is the laboratory where Moonlight developed the sample. Even if the data was not transmitted in time, it must have been preserved inside."

Chen Ci put one of Fu Tianhe's arms on his shoulders and tried to lift up the Alpha who had no strength at all.

"Hold on a little longer. This is the last moment."

Shafulai stepped forward to help. Fu Tianhe was in so much pain that he had difficulty breathing, but he still used his eyes to convey comfort to Chen Nian.

Chen Nian's nose suddenly felt sore.

Yes, even if he was initially developed as a backup, so what? The meaning of life is given by oneself, and no one around him, including himself, would treat him as a substitute.

He is unique.

The same goes for his brother.

The special forces captain turned off the neural adapter and put it back into his backpack. Moonlight's headless body lay silently on the cold ground.

For a long time, Jemengad had surrounded her in the center of his body, also out of long-standing hatred.

It was supposed to be the king of the sea living freely in the ocean.

The special forces member took Fu Tianhe from Chen Ci to help Chen Ci save some energy, and the group approached the southeast direction Chen Ci mentioned as quickly as possible.

"Brother, did you see the last moment when Yemengjia laid eggs?" Chen Nian asked Chen Ci quietly.

"I see, but don't worry about it. We are nothing like those things."

Chen Nian nodded and whispered, "I know, but this also explains why the blue aliens want to kill us. They are parasitized by the young of Jemengad. In nature, the young of many creatures will kill each other, leaving only the strongest one to receive all the nutrients provided by the mother and grow into a strong individual."

Chen Ci hummed: "This is also a possibility."

Chen Nian blinked. Could it be that his brother had other guesses?

The team was moving very fast, and in order not to fall behind, Chen Nian stopped talking and put all his energy into hurrying.

Jemengad was still crawling slowly, and everyone was worried at first, fearing that it would suddenly rise up and turn this place into a burial ground.

Now more than half an hour had passed, and the circle surrounding Jesus' body had not shrunk much, which made everyone slowly calm down.

More than ten minutes later, the team finally arrived at the laboratory in the southeast direction. The huge body of Poseidon passed through the wall directly, destroying the spatial structure of the building.

The sealed door was missing, leaving wires and optical cables exposed, allowing people to easily follow the large hole into the laboratory, which was supposed to be top-secret.

The ground and walls were covered with dried blood and scattered scales. There was no place to even step.

The extremely hard metal twisted and broke. Just by looking at it, one could imagine how crazy and tragic it was.

This is also where the head of Jemengad was.

The head of Poseidon is completely covered in metal, and the most vulnerable eyes are also firmly protected. The curved steel plates serve as eyelids, making it impossible to see whether there are cold vertical pupils underneath.

Its ten-thousand-meter-long body made a circle and finally converged here, almost holding the tip of its tail in its mouth.

This is the real serpent with a tail, which, in some legends, represents the never-ending cycle.

Shaffley climbed up the ruins using his hands and feet, and struggled to dig out something that could at least identify the control panel. He took out tools and began to dismantle it, hoping to find a storage hard drive or something like that.

The moonlight must have recorded all the experimental data, and even if it failed to be transmitted smoothly in the end, it is still retained inside it.

Normally, Shaflay could access the database through the neural adapter, but he no longer dared to enter Moonlight's program kernel.

After he grasped the light containing the final coordinate point in his palm, all that was left for that space should be endless darkness and nothingness.

Even if we need to go in, it shouldn't be at this critical moment. It's too risky.

Fortunately, although the two sea emperors destroyed the entire laboratory and smashed the control console to pieces, Shafla still successfully found the motherboard and memory.

The memory is slightly damaged. You should be able to recover the data after you repair it.

"That's it." Shafulai stood up, carefully put the memory into his pocket, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"If the image in the neural adapter is correct, it must contain the data of Moonlight's final antidote development. It may even contain the complete molecular formula. Our trip to Moonlight has almost ended here."

Special Forces Captain: "We have to get out safely, bring news of the survivors outside, and start the rescue."

Shafla nodded, but his brows were still furrowed.

Along the way, they have reached the deepest layer of moonlight. It is easy to come down but difficult to go up. They don’t know how long it will take to go back.

Given Fu Tianhe's current condition, let's not talk about whether he can hold on until he gets out. Even if he does, he may not be able to wait until the medicine is developed.

Chen Ci said nothing as his mental power spread in all directions, exploring the glass fragments on the ground, the broken test tubes and freezers, hoping to find the remains of the sample.

His mental power carefully bypassed Jemengaard to avoid hearing any sound from the Sea King. Many times, guessing and final confirmation are two completely different things.

She was the mother who truly provided him with genes. Could he now coldly ignore her cries of pain as he did when facing Maxine?

The feeling of anxiety once again filled Chen Ci's heart. Over the past few days, he had become familiar with this feeling. It was not a good thing. The sense of urgency it brought would speed up one's heartbeat and make one lose appetite.

But it was also because of this that Chen Ci realized that he really cared about Fu Tianhe.

There should obviously be a sample. Since Moonlight has already figured out the molecular formula, it must have been obtained from a successfully extracted sample. But where is it?

Could it be that... during Poseidon's massacre of Moonlight, all the samples were destroyed?

Anxiety interfered with Chen Ci's judgment, but he still realized the impending danger at the first moment, accompanied by an extremely strong sense of being spied on!

"careful!!!"

Chen Ci's scream was drowned out by the explosion of the mechanism popping open.

Dozens of steel spikes hidden behind the ceiling dropped from the sky at a terrifying speed of hundreds of meters per second. In just a moment, they were able to turn all of them into mud!

At the same time, there was the sound of a huge figure suddenly rising up.

The hard metal scales rubbed against the ground, crushing the already broken concrete into pieces. The mechanical snake head was raised high, and its huge body, more than 20 meters wide, surrounded them tightly like a copper wall or an iron wall!

The steel spikes mercilessly pierced through the scales and penetrated into the weak body inside, and screams echoed in everyone's ears.

The snake twisted its body, on the verge of going mad in the severe pain, but it still used the last bit of rationality to prevent its body from crushing the two brothers.

Blood dripped down its scales, each drop as big as hailstones, hitting the frozen people.

Amid the spreading strong stench, everything was dyed bright red.

The snake raised its tail tip and swept it across the ceiling, destroying all the remaining organs.
