Chapter 205 This isn't electrotherapy, it's a server reboot
Liu Guodong didn't waste any more words.
He simply raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The twelve modified researchers, like robots receiving instructions, pulled out a silver, pen-like syringe from their pockets in perfect unison and plunged it into their own necks without hesitation.
Blue liquid is injected.
Their bodies began to expand and twist in a way that defied the laws of physics.
Black blood vessels proliferated wildly beneath the skin, bursting through the white coat; muscle fibers twisted like steel cables; and fingernails grew long and black, gleaming with a metallic sheen.
"roar--!"
They can no longer be called human.
They are twelve monsters that were injected with super soldier serum and were also infected by alien creatures.
"Guan Shan, four. Pierre, four. Su Qing, four." Wang Minyu quickly issued the orders, his tone as calm as if he were distributing lunch. "Make it quick and don't damage those instruments, or we'll have to sell them to Captain Zhou at a discount later."
Guan Shan didn't say anything, but slammed his entrenching tool on the ground with a muffled thud. He charged towards the four monsters closest to him like a cannonball.
He didn't use the blade, but rather the broad, thick surface of the shovel.
"Bang!"
The first monster swung its claws at him, but Guan Shan neither dodged nor evaded, instead slamming a shovel directly into its face.
The immense force caused the monster's head to tilt back ninety degrees like a rotten watermelon, and its neck made a teeth-grinding "crack" sound.
Pierre, on the other hand, was surprisingly agile for a fat man.
Instead of confronting it head-on, he dodged the monster's charge like a bullfighter, while simultaneously pressing the switch on the high-pressure sprayer in his hand.
"Sizzle—"
A yellowish-green liquid, emitting a strong mixed smell of garlic and lemon, was sprayed precisely onto the monster's face.
The monster let out a piercing scream and rolled on the ground, clutching its face.
Its skin began to blister and ulcerate at a visible rate.
"Concentrated allicin, plus high-purity citric acid," Pierre snorted smugly in French. "It works wonders against this mixture of fungus and protein. This is my secret recipe for pickling snails."
Su Qing, on the other hand, remained much calmer.
As she watched the four monsters charging towards her, the electromagnetic pulse devices in her hands simultaneously lit up.
"Buzz—"
An invisible force field spread out.
The four monsters seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, abruptly stopping in place, their bodies convulsing, the black veins on their bodies flickering like a television with a poor signal.
The biochip implanted in their bodies was interfered with by Su Qing's EMP.
The battle unfolded as a one-sided massacre.
Liu Guodong stood there, watching all this, but there was no panic on his face. Instead, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"It's useless. They're just... expendable resources."
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge blue crystal at the bottom of the pit suddenly lit up.
"Buzzing—"
The entire underground space began to shake violently, the instrument screens on the walls flickered wildly, and piercing alarms sounded.
The patient, "Old Zhang," who was suspended in mid-air, began to convulse violently, and black, viscous liquid, like petroleum, flowed from his seven orifices.
"Do you see that, Advisor Wang?" Liu Guodong spread his arms wide, his expression manic. "This is the true power! This entire base is the body of 'Father God'! You are nothing but a few tiny insects that have intruded into the giant's body!"
The blue crystals at the bottom of the pit began to grow upwards, precipitating out sharp, blade-like crystal clusters, their target Wang Minyu.
At the same time, the huge black tumor on the ceiling began to throb, and drops of black viscous fluid fell to the ground, transforming into spider-like monsters with compound eyes.
The situation reversed instantly.
"Boss! Energy readings overloaded! The space here is being rewritten!" Zero's voice screamed in the headset.
Looking at the rapidly expanding blue crystal, and then at "Old Zhang" suspended in mid-air, barely breathing, Wang Minyu made a decision in an instant.
Catch the thief first to catch the king.
But the "king" of this thing is neither that pile of crystals nor that lump of meat on the ceiling.
He was the one who was treated as a "processor".
"Su Qing! Give me three seconds of absolute silence!" Wang Minyu roared.
Su Qing gritted her teeth, turned the power of the two electromagnetic pulse devices to the maximum, and aimed them at the deep pit.
"Buzz—!"
A more powerful force field erupted, causing the growth rate of the newly formed crystal clusters to slow down.
It's now!
Wang Minyu's figure moved.
Instead of retreating, he charged forward towards the cluster of crystals.
He had somehow acquired a syringe filled with black liquid in his hand.
That was his most treasured possession—"Meng Po Soup (Quick-Acting Trial Version)".
This thing is not for attacking.
It's used for... telling stories.
Liu Guodong never expected Wang Minyu to do something so crazy. He tried to stop him, but Guan Shan stood in his way like a wall.
"Your opponent is me." Guan Shan's voice was devoid of any warmth.
Wang Minyu stepped on a newly solidified crystal cluster, using the momentum to leap upwards. His body drew an incredible arc in the air, landing precisely on the suspended operating chair.
Looking at his old classmate, whose face was withered and whose life was hanging by a thread, he did not hesitate at all and plunged the syringe into "Old Zhang's" carotid artery.
The black liquid surged in instantly.
"No—!!!" Liu Guodong roared in despair.
He knew what Wang Minyu was up to.
The most powerful weapon of "Father God" is its absolute "rationality," which can erase all illogical emotions.
But this is also its most vulnerable point.
It cannot understand, much less process—those purest, most primal, and illogical human emotions.
The medicine in the syringe is not poison.
It is a key.
A key that can unlock the memories deep within "Old Zhang's" heart, memories that have been sealed away for ten years and erased by himself and by "Father God" as if they were a "virus".
Old Zhang's body stopped convulsing.
His eyes, which had been closed for ten years, slowly opened.
His eyes were no longer empty and numb.
Instead, there was endless sorrow, regret, and longing.
A single, cloudy tear slid down his cheek.
"Xiaoya..."
With his last ounce of strength, he uttered a name.
That's his daughter's name.
Ten years ago, his daughter died in a car accident while protecting him.
It was this immense grief, enough to destroy a person, that led him, whether willingly or unwillingly, to become the first "believer" of "Father God".
He wanted to forget; he wanted peace.
Now, Wang Minyu reminded him.
boom--!!!
An indescribable torrent of emotions, purely composed of sadness and love, erupted instantly, centered on "Old Zhang's" brain!
This torrent of emotion flowed along the probes and cables, surging into the blue knot below…
