The moment Xiao Yao was put on the roof, he seemed to come back to life and gasped, and the mycelium bound around his body was slowly shrinking.
He turned around and saw that Chongming's protective suit was gone.
No, it might not be appropriate to call him Chongming at this time. In the dark night, the bionic man in front of him was all white, with white hair, eyebrows and eyes, and even his skin was pale.
If Xie Xuan were here, she might think of Eve and Adam whom she saw in District 13 not long ago, who were also dressed in snow-white.
Song Zhixian coughed a few times and was a little surprised to see the person in front of him.
Although they had been briefed on the details before, the shock of seeing such an inhuman creation with their own eyes was only slightly less than the feeling of being shocked by Xie Xuan's supernatural powers just now.
"Bai Ze?" Song Zhixian asked tentatively.
Chongming spoke, his voice exactly like Bai Ze's, "Xie Xuan is out of control. We need to leave here immediately."
"What about Xie Xuan?" Xiao Yao frowned.
Chongming looked at Xiao Yao with his inorganic white eyes. The two men were of similar height, but when looking at each other at eye level, Xiao Yao had the feeling that the other person was looking down at him from another dimension.
Xiao Yao looked at the faint white light in Chongming's eyes and heard him say coldly, "If the situation gets out of control, I will take her over."
"……What's the meaning?"
"Format," Chongming said, "erase the memory, seal the superpowers, return to the starting point, and begin the experiment again."
Before Xiao Yao continued to ask questions, Chongming reached out and stuck a strand of mycelium on the dark night sky like Spider-Man, according to the plan they had just discussed.
The sky is one of the walls of this realm, and the bright mycelium assimilates into a white circle on the night sky, like the moon.
While Chongming was doing this, there was still no sound in the gymnasium under their feet, but the heart-pounding feeling that made him unable to move came back again.
Song Zhixian and Xiao Yao even subconsciously slowed down their breathing, as if they were afraid of attracting the attention of this monster.
Chongming did not delay. Just like before, he tied the man up with mycelium and threw him into the hole created by his mycelium. Then he jumped out.
The next second after they left, the roof of the gymnasium disappeared silently as if it was dissolved by the night.
Xiao Yao and his friends were lucky this time and were thrown directly out of the area.
It was still daytime outside, but the sun was setting, and their car landed in the field.
The gap in the field quickly disappeared after they came out. Song Zhixian took off his head at this time, and his chin was already covered with blood from coughing.
Because the fungus has not died yet, the red nematodes that have left the area have only decreased in vitality but have not died yet.
Song Zhixian pulled the bugs out of his mouth and threw them on the ground. "Are we just going to wait here?"
"Yes." Chongming stood straight. "If Xie Xuan completely loses control, I will immediately take her back to the wall the way she came."
Xiao Yao sat on the ground. He could still feel the red nematodes twisting in his body, but at this moment these worms seemed less important.
"Is Xie Xuan also a bionic person?" Xiao Yao asked.
Chongming looked over with an inorganic gaze, "No. You should be very clear about this."
Xiao Yao couldn't accept Chongming's formatting precisely because he knew Xie Xuan was a human. "Can you control people's memories?"
"No." Chongming answered concisely.
After Song Zhixian cleared the worms he coughed out of his lungs, he put on his helmet and asked, "Can you explain the current situation to me?"
Chongming looked at Song Zhixian, probably trying to judge the confidentiality level of the matter and the level of Song Zhixian's authority.
Two seconds later, Chongming said, "Twenty years ago, Noah Technology and the Ecological Organization collaborated on a human cloning technology. Noah Research used the genes of Xie Yuheng, the son of the then chairman of Noah Technology, as the mother gene and cultivated approximately one hundred clones.
"At the time, research on bacterial strains and mutants was broadly divided into two directions: one was phagocytosis, and the other was assimilation. The parent strains of the two bacterial strains were held by Noah Technology and the Ecological Organization respectively. After the successful cultivation of clones, the two sides exchanged some of their experimental samples and conducted infection experiments using the assimilation and phagocytosis strains respectively.
"The successfully infected experimental subjects were intensively cultured and observed until five years ago, when changes occurred within the Ecological Organization's leadership, leading to the breakdown of cooperation with Noah Technology. At the time, the chairman and his wife of Noah Technology died unexpectedly. After Xie Yuheng took over, he terminated all cooperation with the Ecological Organization and took back all the experimental subjects that had belonged to Noah Technology at the time, including Xie Xuan.
"Ten years ago, Noah Technology shifted its research and development focus to artificial intelligence, cultivating a group of bionic humans, including Chongming and Bai Ze, and conducting infection experiments. This gave rise to Bai Ze, who now supports the operation of District 6. Three years ago, due to an accident, Xie Xuan swallowed part of Bai Ze's original sample and began to show symptoms of uncontrolled supernatural powers.
"Noah Labs suggests forcing Xie Xuan's Devouring ability into hibernation, with a small amount of Assimilation ability, led by Bai Ze, to gradually fuse the Assimilation and Devouring abilities. If the experiment is successful, it will be a groundbreaking achievement."
Xiao Yao's face was heavy. He was one of the test subjects undergoing the assimilation bacteria infection experiment. Assimilation and phagocytosis of bacteria were the two main directions of bacteria research at the time because these two bacteria were highly aggressive and they represented two completely different futures for mankind.
Assimilation represents a future in which all humans become mutants, and devouring represents a future in which a small number of people possess absolute power, while the vast majority of humans return to the life before the great infection began.
But in the end, both were shown to be just beautiful visions, because both assimilation and phagocytosis of bacteria were too much of a burden for humans, and humans alone could not exert these two forces to the point of changing the world.
Unless with the help of another equally powerful force, such as Bai Ze.
So this is why there are so many successful experimental subjects, but only Xie Xuan is special.
However, there is another, more important issue.
If two strains of bacteria exist in a person's body at the same time, his lifespan will be greatly reduced, let alone if these two powerful strains of bacteria exist at the same time?
"How long can Xie Xuan live?" Xiao Yao asked.
"If it doesn't completely get out of control this time, we still have six months," Chongming replied almost coldly. "If it completely gets out of control and is formatted and the devouring ability is no longer activated, we still have fifteen months."
After Chongming finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yao and said, "The ecological organization doesn't need to be afraid of Xie Xuan's existence, because there is a 99% chance that she will just be a failed attempt that will be drowned in the tide of the times."
This should have been a good answer for Xiao Yao, but he felt as if his heart was tightly wrapped by red nematodes and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
He originally thought that his life was short enough, but he didn't expect that the unlucky Xie Xuan would die even shorter than him.
