Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 834
The core area of ​​the ark, the secret room.

In the darkness, only the holographic projection of Zeus was still emitting a faint light.

He looked around in a circle, and suddenly sighed imperceptibly.

"Sorry, I have no choice." The tone of Zeus was completely different from the previous irritable and angry tone, and Zeus seemed to be a different person at this time. Finished... I don't have much time left, if you continue to procrastinate according to your ideas, it will only lead to failure... Only by accelerating towards that goal, can human civilization avoid the fate of extinction."

He continued to talk to himself: "The Fool has already proved that the compromise method is not feasible, and too many resources and time were wasted for it. Whether it is the Ark, human civilization or this planet, there is no second time. Here's a chance to try."

After speaking, his holographic projection disappeared.

At the same time, in a room in the core area, the lid of a coffin of eternal life slid open, and a body surface was covered with strangely-shaped proliferative tissues, and even the intubated tubes on the body were buried tightly by flocculent pieces of flesh. The living humanoid sat up.

"He" sat quietly for half a minute, then opened his mouth and nose, and took a deep breath.

In an instant, the data on the life support equipment placed around the coffin of eternal life began to jump wildly, and the harsh and messy alarms sounded together.

"Huh..." The human figure slowly exhaled the air it had inhaled, and the device that had been ringing non-stop for the last second suddenly fell silent—only those display numbers that were originally used to represent various vital signs no longer The time became "zero", and the few wavy lines on the electrocardiogram also turned into smooth straight lines.

Looking at these data alone, anyone with a little medical knowledge would think that the person connected to these devices is dead—or in other words, the "person" who sat up from the coffin of eternal life has already been removed , He neither pulled out the tubes inserted in his body, nor tore off the electrode patches that had been deeply embedded in the hyperplastic tissue due to too long time.

"He" was breathing heavily, like a drowning man just being pulled out of the water.

However, those equipment and instruments that symbolize the highest level of medical technology in the Ark can no longer monitor any vital signs of this body, even the heartbeat and breathing rate cannot be displayed.

"He" stretched out his hands with some difficulty, supported the edge of the coffin of eternal life, and stood up little by little. "His" movements are very clumsy, this body seems to have not been "used" for a long time.

The moment "he" stood up straight, the ugly, disgusting, and even terrifying proliferative tissue on his body shrank at an unimaginable speed... Not long after, the original monster covered in tumors disappeared and replaced it. The one is a middle-aged man who looks normal to the point where he can no longer be normal.

That face is almost exactly the same as Zeus's virtual projection, the only difference is that there is no hair, the top of the head, the arch of the eyebrows, the lips and the chin are all smooth, and it seems that there are no pores.

"Ahem..." Zeus coughed in a low voice. After coughing for a long time, he spit out a large mass of dark brown gel that looked like phlegm but not phlegm. This was the result of the highly concentrated LCL liquid being further compressed. The original function of the form was to fill the respiratory tract and lungs of the "eternal sleeper", allowing oxygen to be integrated into the alveoli without breathing... But now, Zeus obviously no longer needs this thing.

"The feeling of being able to breathe on my own...I really miss it..." Zeus whispered, and began to reach out and pull out the tubes inserted in the body. Every time one was pulled out, the wounds left behind would heal quickly, even a little bit There will be no scars left, it's just that the skin at the new site is slightly lighter than the surrounding area.

This terrifying self-recovery ability is no less than that of Ke Lan.

"It's still a long way from a semi-deified state, but it's enough." Zeus clenched his fists vigorously, "Since the Fool failed, let me complete his unfinished business."

"How can you be sure that the Fool must have failed?" Aphrodite's voice sounded in the room, "You know, we haven't even figured out what's going on with that completely deified body yet. Woolen cloth."

"Since it is completely deified, it means failure." Zeus said decisively, "Human's will can't compete with him...Take a step back, even if human beings can maintain self-awareness under the condition of complete deification, then This body will also become a beacon, one of His eyes...or to put it more bluntly, it is a part of His body. Rather than accept endless slavery, I would rather choose destruction."

"But isn't your current state heading towards the ending you don't like?" Aphdirote asked.

"As long as you can control that critical point, you can 'steal' the power to the greatest extent without being assimilated." Zeus shook his head, "This is the original intention of the 'semi-deification' plan. Humans want to use the most Rapid evolution is a risk that must be taken.”

"This level of power is very strong for humans, but for him, it is just a drop in the ocean... want to rely on the power stolen from him to fight against him... are you too naive?" Afdello Te continued to ask.

"Then why didn't you think the Fool was naive back then?" Zeus's originally calm face flashed a trace of displeasure, "I never thought of relying on this power to fight against that kind of existence... We can't stay on this planet anymore …Humanity must evolve, and then go to a wider star field, where there may be a glimmer of life. But we don't have enough time, even if it is a way to quench thirst, it is better than sitting still."

"His mark has already been branded on your body. Do you think that by escaping this 'cage', you will be able to avoid his gaze?"

"We can enter the subspace through the wormhole to avoid his sight, but first, we must have the ability to survive in the subspace." Zeus said.

"You are making a huge gamble with the survival of human civilization."

"Even if it's a gamble, I at least took action. It's better than some people who only want to maintain the status quo, but pretend to turn a blind eye to the approaching abyss." Zeus said in a sarcastic tone.

"On the contrary, I think you will lead everyone into the abyss of destruction." Aphdirote's tone suddenly became tough.

"It seems... that the talk has collapsed?" Zeus snorted with some disdain, stepped out of the coffin of eternal life, and stepped on the metal floor.

There seemed to be a sensor installed under the floor. The moment he stepped on it, the ceiling facing the floor lit up, and a beam of light with very clear edges enveloped his whole body.Immediately afterwards, one piece after another of the ceiling was lit up, and the projected cold light extended forward from where Zeus was standing, all the way to the only door in the room.

Zeus walked forward along this "light path", and every time he took a step, the lights behind him were extinguished... and the lights on those devices disappeared as early as he stepped out of the coffin of eternal life, devouring everything The darkness spread rapidly behind him, but it still couldn't get past him.

When Zeus walked to the front of the door, the heavy metal door opened automatically, followed by a burst of gunfire!
On both sides of the corridor outside the door, there were fully armed robot soldiers. The moment the door was opened, these robot soldiers began to pour firepower at Zeus... However, the tens of millions of bullets were still in contact with Zeus. When it fell the last inch, it seemed to lose all its kinetic energy, and began to fall vertically, landing on the metal floor, making a clanging sound.

The frequency of Zeus's steps remained completely unchanged. There seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of him, pushing away all the bullets fired at him. Every time he took a step, many electric sparks would appear on the robot soldiers passing by. Withering after an uncontrollable version of a twitch, without exception.

If someone picks up the wreckage of these robots and examines them carefully at this time, they will find that not only the core control chips of these robots have been completely melted, but even the spine joints forged from pure Nino alloy have been twisted into a twisted shape. ——You must know that, as the most important transmission and load-bearing components, the spine joints of these robot soldiers are the hardest parts in the whole body. Even if they are directly hit by a tactical nuclear bomb, the spine will not become like this.

During the whole process, Zeus didn't even lift a finger.

He quickly walked through the corridor and came to the next door. Behind him, the remains of hundreds of robots were piled on the ground, some of them were still moving, but they couldn't get up. .

"You are not so naive as to think that you can stop me with this kind of thing?" Zeus seemed to be talking to someone, and seemed to be talking to himself, "It seems that you still don't know enough about this kind of power. profound."

"At least they slow you down for two seconds, and that's enough."

As soon as the words fell, the second door in front of Zeus suddenly opened, and the biochemical body of Themis, the No.11 seat of the Undead Crew Club, "Justice" appeared behind the door. She was holding two long knives with amazing arcs, which were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. The speed rushed towards Zeus.

"Themis, don't you think it's ridiculous to hide in the coffin of eternal life, relying on those medicines and equipment to suppress the real power, but using this weak toy to try to fight me?"

Zeus stretched out his hand and grasped Themis' right wrist with great precision. With a firm grip, the alloy shell of the biochemical body's wrist suddenly shattered, and liquid like plasma shot out from the break. When he came out, the long knife also slipped from between his five fingers that had lost the grip.

Zeus took the knife backhand, swung it from bottom to top, and cut off Themis' other arm neatly.

"There is an insurmountable gap between the technology of human civilization and Alpha civilization." Zeus stepped on the chest of Themis biochemical body with his feet, and stomped her firmly on the ground.

"There are countless insurmountable gaps between Alpha civilization and existences of that level." Zeus' ten fingers penetrated the alloy armor, bionic skin and muscles on Themis' legs, and grabbed two The leg skeleton with hydraulic transmission and cilia-level nerve sensors pulled the legs of Themis biochemical body from the pelvis abruptly.

Themis let out a scream immediately.

The senses of the biochemical body and the consciousness of the members of the undead crew are connected to each other. This is done so that the members of the undead crew whose body is lying in the coffin of eternal life can experience the life of a normal person through the biochemical body.Of course, this kind of sensory connection can be shielded, especially when fighting, and it is even possible to completely disconnect the connection of pain nerves while retaining a highly sensitive sense of touch. Si had also blocked these senses, but when the biochemical body was caught by Zeus, she was shocked to find that all the blocked senses had recovered.

Moreover, there is no way to block it again through the control terminal, even if you want to disconnect the consciousness connection with the biochemical body.

The pain suffered by the biochemical body was transmitted to Themis' brain in its original form.

The pain of her wrist being crushed, her shoulders being cut, and her legs being torn from her torso almost caused her consciousness to collapse.

"Trust me, we can do what the alphas haven't."

After saying this, Zeus put his palm on the head of Themis biochemical body, and then squeezed it "lightly".

Themis' vision was suddenly plunged into boundless darkness.

"This kind of power... is really fascinating." Zeus glanced at his hands stained with the "blood" of the biochemical body, and a distorted smile appeared on his face, but soon, the smile disappeared again.

"No... I shouldn't be indulging in power... I have... more important things to do."

[PS I also checked a tumor indicator today, and everything else was found to be good. The serum ferritin was more than 1000, which was more than three times higher than the standard. In addition, the imaging report of the liver yesterday was not very good, and I would occasionally have abdominal pain. I was scared to death. Fortunately, other tumor markers such as alpha-fetoprotein were not high... I asked the doctor later and found out that iron deposition was caused by too much blood transfusion in the past... It was a false alarm.Now I just need to wait for a bone penetration report and cervical spine MRI before I can be discharged from the hospital.

In addition, does any reader know what kind of pillow is better for cervical spondylosis, please recommend...

Most of this chapter today is still coded in the hospital, please include more typos. 】

[PPS The subspace mentioned by Zeus in today’s chapter is not the same as the subspace in the Warhammer world view. It refers to the middle zone that separates different parallel universes from the perspective of the multiverse. Assuming that the two universes are two adjacent The room, even if there is a subspace inside the wall, when the ark enters the wormhole, it can also be regarded as sailing in the subspace-this setting is a pure fantasy setting, without any scientific basis, it is only created for this novel need.

After finishing writing, I found that the chapter name of this chapter is the same as Chapter 380, but the chapter name cannot be modified, so I can only forget it. 】
