CHAPTER 795: CHAPTER 347: FIRE METEOR! (DOUBLE-LENGTH BONUS CHAPTER)

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qian Suxun suddenly said, "Lin, we’ve already used it; this transport ship has been equipped with a plasma shield, and the people on it are resisting with full force. This situation is very unusual and might likely have high-value targets!"

Lin Xian understood immediately. He directly drove the Mechanical Scan rudely toward the rear, deliberately devouring various simple integrated circuits and control systems. Even though Lin Xian couldn’t take control in the first instance, he could quickly dismantle their combat capabilities, especially now that he possessed remote control abilities. The more advanced the equipment, the weaker it was for him.

Soon, a large number of the transport ship’s flight control systems began to go offline, and internal alarms blared crazily. Under the combined suppression of Ryuji and KIKI, the transport ship wobbled as it fell toward the ground, and its massive bulk stopped only after crashing into several buildings, sending up clouds of dust all around. Meanwhile, the Abnormal Bodies on the surrounding streets began to draw near from all directions, and members of the three teams had been marked with the Dark Mark, attracting more and more Abnormal Bodies.

On Chen Sixuan’s side, she finally found the peeper at a sewer entrance. The monster trying to escape was directly sliced into pieces by Monica’s Sound Blade. At this time, the team members of Qian Suxun, Ning Jing, and Lin Xian began their thunderous extermination of the surrounding low-level Abnormal Bodies, quickly stopping the snowballing momentum triggered by the commotion.

These three teams were all composed of strong elites, and it was precisely for this reason, combined with Silent City’s meticulous strategic containment, that the expansion of the situation could be curtailed in a short period.

At this moment, everyone surrounded the transport ship, but since Lin Xian had already acquired the memory device, the abnormal situation on the opposing side caused Qian Suxun and Lin Xian to refrain from acting immediately. Instead, they chose to have the teams hide in various buildings around the transport ship, observing the movement of the surrounding Abnormal Bodies, gradually stabilizing the avalanche-like trend. Any Abnormal Body appearing was swiftly dealt with remotely until the surroundings gradually quieted down, and everyone turned their attention to the transport ship.

Clang, clang, clang!

In the distance, Ryuji used his abilities to shatter the transport ship’s engine and various broken external devices, completely ending its power capacity. Then, Qian Suxun’s Mecha was sent first, with all operations executed with extreme caution. Lin Xian and KIKI also retreated to the nearby ground, watching Qian Suxun’s actions.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the transport ship’s hatch suddenly opened slowly. Amid the thick smoke, a middle-aged man wearing a specially lined suit and some kind of breathing mask slowly walked out. Judging by his appearance, this man was distinctly different from other clones, having an advanced brain-machine interface on the back of his head, but lacking white mycelium. He looked much like an astronaut from some spacecraft. Through the transparent breathing mask, under the burning flames all around, a face of ghastly pale skin and a pair of narrow, shadowed eyes looked blandly forward.

As he stepped out of the transport ship with his hands raised, he was immediately targeted by the cannons of two Heavy Armored Mechas at close range. Yet, surprisingly calm, as if ready to be shot at any moment, he opened his mouth and said,

"What a lively scene, a bunch of poor wretches about to die, must have paid a high price to linger in here so long."

The middle-aged man looked at the monitor on the Heavy Armored Mecha beside him, as if gazing at someone behind the screen from afar. The voice under his breathing mask sounded hoarse and heavy, "Mochizuki Masashi, your Silent City destroyed our Deep Red World’s Yunlan Center and burned the Wei River Research Institute. It’s puzzling for the Master, and to me as well. Digital Life, cybernetic ascension, isn’t this new civilization path what you’ve been obsessed with for decades? Why persistently oppose the sacred path of evolution?"

The surroundings quieted down, this man was directly addressing Mochizuki Masashi.

At this moment, in the main control chamber of West Mountain’s underground fortress in White City, Mochizuki Masashi, donned in plain robes, stood with hands clasped behind, gazing at the holographic vision before him, seemingly leisurely, as he said,

"That tone sounds very familiar. Let me guess, Julius, it must be you again."

Julius?

Upon hearing Mochizuki Masashi’s voice from the Heavy Armored Mecha, Lin Xian couldn’t help but frown. Why does this name feel so familiar?

He remembered.

Isn’t this the director of the Zero Element Center, who was infiltrated consciously by Chu Yan at the Baihetan Astral Observation Base among the high-ranking members of the Deep Red World?

He was somewhat surprised. Just as he was puzzled why this guy seemed to be everywhere, he thought about the countless memory devices the Deep Red World had replicated for the Star Abyss exploration experiment. Considering the brain-machine device this guy had, it seemed to be a clone of Julius Litt...

"Genetic compilation, alien breeding, Dark Fusion? Alas, you all have insulted the existence significance of Digital Life to Human Civilization..." Mochizuki Masashi said.

"Civilization? The 100-day Apocalypse surpassing one million years of Human Civilization’s evolution progress, a true wise one should understand, this is not destruction, this is the opportunity for a breakthrough of Human Civilization." Julius said as he looked at KIKI and Ryuji flying in the sky:

"Flying, a power that took industrial revolution centuries for humans to grasp, how long did it take you, 3 days? 30 days? Manipulating everything is an utterly subversive reconstruction of the fundamental physics. Empty talk of saving or extinction holds no meaning, history will prove that we are indeed the creators of the new human era."
