Chapter 5, Rampage
On the projection screen, the Valkyrie was lifted by the soldiers onto a nearby experimental table, quickly bound like a rice dumpling, and began to have more sedative agents injected into her.
Yang Meng, who was standing behind, seemed hesitant to speak
Buzz
Alright, Professor
There are two additional wounds on the shoulder joints compared to the trauma locations proposed by Yang Meng
Alright, Professor
After all, the survival rate is still 65 percent
Yang Ming forced a smile and walked towards the captain without looking back
Thank you, Professor
Giggrove said: "Go fetch the Gene Liquid No. 6, it might work this time"
Several needles attempted to pierce the Valkyrie's fair and smooth skin, her limbs trembling incessantly, yet she was unable to move.
In other words, the soldiers have received the order to kill Hanton at any time, and the issuer of this order can only be Giggrove
Guguu
Infinite proliferation of cells? Has she fused the genes of the insectoid species?
This old man has transformed his own daughter
It is unclear which instrument emitted the sound, but the rhythm of the sound coincided perfectly with Yang Meng's heartbeat
Yang Ming stared at the fragment of memory, the pain and torment in his body becoming somewhat muted. He slowly raised his head along with the little girl, and what came into view was the face of Gigrove, who had not yet had his prosthetic eye installed.
These bastards
The captain severed the voice synchronization of the action team, and the control console fell silent once more, leaving only the hurried, heavy breathing of Gigerov.
Yang Ming immediately said: "Professor, I believe that... at this moment, I need to maintain the spacecraft's equipment, after all, such a great disturbance has occurred"
Gigerov leaned on his cane as he walked towards the stairs, no longer looking at Yang Ming, but instead turned his head and said
He is facing the girl floating ahead.
Yang Ming took a half step forward when suddenly, a rhythmic sound of footsteps came from the side. Four guard soldiers appeared on either side, and the red dot of a laser gun's sight landed on Yang Ming's forehead
Ancient Gods, the cosmic beings in "The Abyss," refer to special life forms that can exist in near-vacuum environments without relying on any external forces
From Hanton's memory, it can be inferred that when such a situation arises—when the soldiers on the ship unlock the safety of their laser guns and aim at the head of the experimental subject—it indicates that they have the potential to fire at any moment
Integration, absorption, return, merging into one another
Number 6? Professor, that is not the genome extracted from the Valkyrie's body... it only exists as a theoretical possibility...
Believe me
The girl is a Valkyrie, enveloped in sacred pure white light; even without a stitch of clothing, she possesses neither desire nor lewdness
A series of words emerged in Yang Ming's heart, as if the Valkyrie was confiding and calling out.
Giggrove's breathing gradually became steady as he slowly turned around, the mechanical eye gleaming with dark red spots
The soldier stood guard in the laboratory, while the captain turned and hurried towards the lower deck, contemplating words that could plead for Lieutenant Hanton without provoking Professor Kegrove.
Captain
The high-energy ray launchers that continuously target the Valkyries have lost communication with the bridge
In the game, they typically exist as legion world bosses, possessing astonishing destructive power, often characterized by abilities such as mental control, devouring, and infinite proliferation, bringing about immense disasters each time they appear
Other images continue to emerge, but they are fragmented, incomplete, intermingled with the experiences of two life forms
Let the robotic arm hold him down
She opened her mouth and emitted a silent shriek, as a wave of red energy radiated from her forehead, instantly sweeping across the entire cabin
This life was originally salvaged, and now all that is needed is to find a way to survive
Quickly untie me! The Valkyrie was hiding her strength, preparing to unleash a powerful attack on you all! She is about to devour me!
However, a light blue protective film appeared on those soldiers' helmets, safeguarding their fragile brains and sensitive brainwaves
Yang Ming faced several laboratory personnel with a sincere expression: "Only I can stop the Valkyrie, this is the secret mission given to me by the professor! For the glory of the Empire! The imperial star shines upon you and me!"
"Should we try the Type II gene fluid, Professor? Or should we use the more conservative Type I gene fluid? After all, this is a loyal Imperial soldier"
Captain, you personally escort Third Officer Hanton to the backup laboratory, encourage this young man, and have my assistants make some preparations for him, if they are still able to move
The backup laboratory is located one level above the lower deck, and the restored elevator took them directly to the laboratory entrance
The besieged 'Dark Cloud', a primordial life form gradually dissolving under the bombardment of the battleship, has met its end
swaying
The young girl directly revealed her desire for Yang Meng
"That's enough," Giggrove immediately said, "It is already sufficient, do not harm her any further. Let the assault team go up, and put all the modified beings into deep sleep; they are all our precious achievements."
Swaying
The most accurate translation should be
I do not make promises lightly, Captain Hanton, and once I make a promise, I do not change my mind
He had no time to think further and shouted at the panicked staff beside him
Before the captain had a chance to speak, the usually unremarkable third officer had already lowered his head and entered the cabin, calmly lying down on the experimental table. Without the soldiers needing to step forward to 'assist', he placed his hands and feet in the designated positions, tightly bound by the shackles that sprang up from below.
Am I going to be exposed?
... ...
Dad, what is perfection
I have been in a stupor for an unknown duration, perhaps just a moment, or it may have already been several hours
Yang Ming was roaring, roaring like a wild beast
Brother Ji and the Valkyrie are father and daughter
The captain is a meticulous military officer, completely loyal to the Empire and to Professor Keglov.
What?
Two doses of gene stabilizing solution! Intensive injection!
At the same time
Drip, drip, drip
The captain in the fire control cabin below inquired via radio: "Do we need to inflict more injuries, Professor?"
"Very well, Professor," the captain's voice sounded somewhat reluctant to end the conversation
Is this the name of the Valkyrie? It is indeed quite difficult to pronounce
The potential moments of rebellion were completely sealed off by the experienced captain
I want to eat you
but that 35% mortality rate
The study of ancient divine life is our shortcut to immortality
If it were the real Hanton who received such an opportunity, he would naturally be overjoyed; however, his current worries and resistance have already aroused Giggrove's suspicions
Inject the sedative from her wound; her skin has an extremely high resilience... This is indeed a monster
Yang Ming slightly clenched his fist
Yang Meng suddenly shook his head, and the red light in his eyes instantly faded away
Yang Ming wanted to give a middle finger to Gig Grove, but he was already in a state of anesthesia, and his thoughts quickly became disjointed
Explosions were heard from various instruments
His several key figures are very close to the original Bosa and the library, " Giggrove's voice revealed a hint of impatience, " If it weren't for the fact that the ancient god's cellular structure has only a mass left, I would transform Hanton just like I did with Bosa! Move quickly, do not miss the opportunity!
Ancient God Lifeform
These several experimenters clearly exhibited a hint of hesitation
... ...
Yang Ming suddenly understood
No, these are not accurate
Yang Meng was astonished by Kegrove's insight, while rapidly contemplating the current situation in his mind
A lovely little girl with a ponytail, holding her father's large hand, frolics in the glassy waves of the sea, her small feet constantly kicking at the water.
Isn't this your long-held wish
This is a line from a scene in "The Abyss"
The wait at the laboratory bench feels particularly prolonged
The soldiers stood by holding laser guns, their fingers near the triggers, and the biological safety of the firearms was in the activated state
Bloodletting! Arterial bloodletting, inject maintenance agents!
Yang Ming saw several images flashing by quickly in his pain
You will become the perfect being
My goodness! Captain, look, the Valkyrie's wounds are healing, and the burn marks have disappeared.
In excruciating pain, Yang Ming forced himself to keep thinking
The incomplete scene faded away like sparks, and Yang Ming's pain also quickly diminished, leaving only a feeling of soreness throughout his body
Do not be nervous, Hanton, I understand you
If Brother Ji has doubts about him, his situation will be extremely dangerous
The father's large hand gently stroked the girl's head
Professor, let us wait for this matter to pass; I still have a lot of work to handle
Yang Ming was contemplating how to decline this reward
Giggrove gazed at Yang Meng and said, "Why is there not a trace of happiness on your face, Hanton"
Yang Ming said softly: "If possible, please suggest to the professor to use some more mature techniques on me, as only by being alive can I serve the empire."
The built-in speakers of the control console emitted the chaotic voices of the commandos
The soldiers wearing anti-neural interference helmets simultaneously clutched their heads and screamed in agony, while more than ten figures without adequate protective measures slowly collapsed to the ground, their eyes bloodshot and blood streaming from their nostrils
Even so, Yang Ming faintly sensed that Gigrov was currently observing him
"Let’s go, Hanton," Giggrove said, rallying his spirits, "I will personally assist you with the transformation surgery"
If it is said that ancient divine beings represent the ultimate path of individual evolution; then the classic antagonist in "The Abyss," the Second Cataclysm Insectoid, represents the ultimate evolution of collective life
On the way to the backup laboratory, Yang Meng was constantly searching for a breakthrough, at the moment of leaving the bridge, at the moment of entering the elevator, and at the moment the elevator transitioned to a microgravity environment
Have you made it through
However, at this moment, Yang Meng had no desire to continue listening.
The current situation is that there is still a chance of survival after being modified, while directly confronting them leaves little hope for survival. Moreover, there is some leeway regarding the modification process.
The alloy door with a silver-gray background opens to the left and right. Several experimental personnel, who had received the order in advance, are now anxiously watching the doorway with expressions of fear on their faces.
What kind of monster is this! Although she is very beautiful! Damn it, bring the thickest syringe, my syringe won't go in!
As Yang Meng previously stated, when the Valkyrie's body sustains multiple penetrating injuries, it will lose its ability to move
Drip, drip
Do not be fooled by the fact that Brother Ji appears to be amiable at present; this individual is, at his core, a psychopathic killer who regards life as even more worthless than grass.
A needle pierced the back of his hand and the top of his foot, and a cool liquid entered his veins. Yang Ming felt a slight dizziness in his head and soon fell into a deep sleep
The intense pain shattered the blank dream woven by the anesthetic
In the backup laboratory
But professor
The Valkyrie is the product of the Sherman Empire's research on ancient divine life forms, a monster created by combining ancient divine cell clusters with humans. That ancient deity has already been resurrected within the Valkyrie
The deep sea whale calls echoed in the starry sky
Yang Ming trembled unconsciously all over
A sound suddenly emerged in my mind, akin to the buzzing of ten thousand bees flapping their wings at high speed
On the projection screen, several faint red lasers flashed, and the Valkyrie lying on the ground had blood holes the size of a thumb appearing simultaneously in her hands and feet
Yang Ming groggily opened his eyes and immediately saw Giggrove, who was wearing a surgical cap and mask, intently observing the instruments beside him
In the projection screen, two rows of Imperial soldiers, armed with laser guns and wearing protective suits, rushed into the lower deck and quickly pinned down the neck of a modified individual with their knees
The captain, who had just left the control panel, gazed at Yang Meng with a complex expression and gestured for him to proceed.
The captain inexplicably had such a thought
A dark cloud drifts in the silent starry sky, far from the stars, aimlessly; it is the matter belonging to this universe, a gift of possibilities from the cosmos. It can think, it can feel existence, it is a living entity
At that moment, Yang Ming heard Giggrove's laughter: "Very good, Hanton's transformation has been successful, with a genetic stability coefficient of 0.92. This is an excellent figure. Prepare him with sufficient genetic stability agents and nutrient solutions..."
"Hanton," the captain patted Yang Meng on the shoulder, "thank you, you may have truly spared us from a disaster just now"
The Valkyrie suddenly opened her eyes, and once again, red ripples blossomed.
The few researchers remaining at this location looked completely bewildered
At this moment, Giggrove is not in the hold laboratory
Giggler's cold voice: "Captain, tell your men to shut up!"
Professor, the gene stabilization solution has an extremely low rejection rate, making it an excellent material
The pain of being scorched by the earth's fire reemerged, and Yang Ming felt as if he had been thrown into a furnace after being anesthetized, yet this flame surged outward from beneath his own skin
The Valkyrie's pupils were filled with a dense array of compound eyes, which瞬间 arranged themselves into a compact crystalline structure
This will have no effect, "Giggrove seemed to be searching for something on Yang Meng's face, "This is the reward you deserve, Hanton, why do you make me feel like you have suddenly become a different person?"
"Professor," Yang Ming forced a strained smile, "I just injured my head, and I am currently experiencing dizziness. I am concerned that this may affect the success rate of the modification."
Yang Ming thought to find joy amidst his suffering
Gig Grove was speaking incessantly, filled with boastfulness and satisfaction
How should we interpret the message conveyed by the Valkyrie at this moment
Yang Ming's mood gradually shifted from previous anger and irritation to calmness and restraint
In the lower chamber laboratory and the backup laboratory, a man and a woman, both similarly restrained, opened their eyes almost simultaneously on two similar experimental tables
In a daze, he seemed to find himself amidst a starry sky, with brilliant nebulae above and below him
There have been incidents in the past where experimental materials were directly shot through the head
It is complex, yet simple; it is a higher level of direct communication that transcends language. If it were to be described in terms that humans could understand, it would be approximately ... ...
The professor may have made a decision that is not particularly wise
