Yang Ming was thinking about how to refuse this reward.
On the projection screen, several light red lasers flashed across the screen, and blood holes as thick as a thumb appeared on the Valkyrie's hands and feet lying on the ground.
There were two more wounds on the shoulder joints than the wound locations proposed by Yang Ming.
The captain who was in the fire control cabin below asked via radio: "Do you need to cause more injuries? Professor."
"That's enough," Kigrove said immediately, "that's enough, don't hurt her anymore. Let the assault team go up and put all the modified bodies into deep sleep. They are all our precious achievements."
"Okay professor," the captain's voice sounded a little unfinished.
On the projection screen, two rows of imperial soldiers armed with laser guns and wearing protective clothing rushed into the bottom cabin and quickly pressed their knees on the necks of the cybernetics.
The Valkyrie suddenly opened her eyes, and red ripples bloomed again.
But a light blue protective film appeared on the helmets of those soldiers, protecting their fragile brains and sensitive brain waves.
As Yang Ming said before, when the Valkyrie's body suffers multiple penetrating wounds, she will lose her ability to move.
Several injections tried to penetrate the fair and smooth skin of the Valkyrie. Her hands and feet kept shaking, but she could not move.
The commando’s messy voice came from the built-in speaker of the main console:
"Oh my God! Captain, look, Valkyrie's wounds are recovering, and the burn marks are gone."
"Infinite proliferation of cells? Is she fused with Zerg genes?"
"What kind of monster is this! Although she is very beautiful! Damn it, bring the thickest needle over here, my needle can't go in!"
"Inject the dormant injection into her wound, and her skin has extremely high toughness... This is indeed a monster."
Kilgrove said coldly: "Captain, tell all your people to shut up!"
"Good professor."
The captain cut off the voice synchronization of the action team, and the main console became silent again, except for the rapid and rough sound of Kigrove.
Yang Ming, who was standing behind, hesitated to speak.
Kilgrove's breathing gradually calmed down, and he slowly turned around. The mechanical eye was shining with dark red spots.
"Come on, Hanton," Kilgrove cheered up, "I will personally help you perform the reconstructive surgery."
Yang Ming immediately said: "Professor, I think...at this moment, I need to maintain the equipment of the spacecraft. After all, there is such a big commotion."
"Isn't this what you have always wanted?"
Kilgrove stared at Yang Ming: "Why can't you see any happiness on your face? Hanton."
"Professor," Yang Ming forced an ugly smile, "I just injured my head, and I still feel dizzy. I'm worried that this will affect the success rate of the transformation."
"This won't have any impact," Kilgrove seemed to be looking for something on Yang Ming's face, "This is the reward you deserve, Hanton, why do you make me feel like you're suddenly a different person?"
I'm going to reveal my secret?
Yang Ming was shocked by Kilgrove's insight and thought about the current situation rapidly in his heart.
Even though Brother Ji seems to be so amiable now, this guy is a perverted murderer at heart, and regards life as even more despicable than a piece of shit;
If Brother Ji becomes suspicious of him, his situation will be very dangerous.
But that 35% mortality rate…
"Professor, why not wait until this matter is over? I still have a lot of work to deal with."
"I don't make promises lightly, Captain Henton, and when I make a promise, I never change my mind."
"But Professor!"
Yang Ming took half a step forward, and suddenly there was the sound of frustrated footsteps. Four garrison soldiers appeared on the left and right, and the red dot aimed by the laser gun fell on Yang Ming's forehead.
"Don't be nervous, Hanton, I understand you."
Kilgrove walked towards the stairs with a cane, no longer looking at Yang Ming, but turned around and said:
"Captain, you personally send Third Officer Hanton to the backup laboratory to encourage this young man and let my assistants make some preparations for him, if they can still move."
The captain who had just left the console looked at Yang Ming with complex eyes and made a gesture of invitation to Yang Ming.
"Thank you, Professor."
Yang Ming forced a smile and walked towards the captain without looking back.
On the projection screen, the Valkyrie was carried to the experimental table by the soldiers, quickly tied into a rice dumpling, and more dormancy reagents began to be injected.
…
The captain is a thoughtful soldier, completely loyal to the Empire and Professor Kilgrove.
On the way to being 'escorted' to the backup laboratory, Yang Ming was always looking for a breakthrough. The moment he left the bridge, the moment he entered the elevator, the moment the elevator switched to a microgravity environment...
Any possible opportunities for resistance were blocked by the experienced captain.
From Hanton's memory, we can know that when this happens - the soldiers on the ship turn on the safety of the laser gun and aim at the head of the experimental material, it means that they may shoot at any time.
There have been accidents before where experimental materials were shot directly through the brain.
The current situation is that if you are transformed, you still have a chance to survive, but if you directly conflict with them, the chance of survival is slim, and there is still some buffer space for transformation.
'After all, the chance of survival is still 65%...'
Yang Ming thought happily in pain.
The backup laboratory was on the upper floor of the bottom cabin, and the elevator that resumed operation took them directly to the entrance of the laboratory.
The silver-gray alloy doors opened from left to right, and several experimenters who had received orders in advance were nervously staring at the door with fear on their faces.
"Hanton," the captain patted Yang Ming on the shoulder, "Thank you, you may have just avoided a disaster for us."
Yang Ming clenched his fist slightly.
If the real Hanton got such an opportunity, he would naturally be ecstatic; his current worries and resistance have aroused Kilgrove's suspicion.
Yang Ming even vaguely noticed that Kilgrove was observing him now.
The soldiers stood aside holding laser guns, their fingers were near the triggers, and the biological safety of the guns was turned on.
In other words, the soldiers have been ordered to kill Hanton at any time, and the person who issued this order will only be Kilgrove.
"captain."
Yang Ming whispered: "If possible, please suggest the professor to use some more mature techniques on me. Only by living can I serve the empire."
Before the captain could speak, the third officer in front of him, who was not very impressive on weekdays, had already lowered his head and walked into the cabin, lying down calmly on the experimental table. He put his hands and feet where they should be without the soldiers' assistance.
, tightly bound by the shackles that popped out from below.
'The professor may have made an unwise decision.'
The captain had such an idea out of nowhere.
Instructing the soldiers to stay in the laboratory, the captain turned and hurried towards the bottom cabin, thinking of words to plead for Third Officer Hanton without offending Professor Kilgrove.
…
The wait on the experimental bench seemed particularly long.
Yang Ming's mood gradually changed from angry and irritable to calm and restrained.
This life was originally saved, now I just need to find a way to survive.
Drip, drip, drip.
I don’t know which instrument made the sound, but the rhythm of the sound coincided with Yang Ming’s heartbeat.
There were needles piercing the backs of hands and feet, and the cool liquid invaded the blood vessels. Yang Ming felt a little dizzy and soon fell into a drowsy state.
Drop, drop.
Yang Ming opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Kilgrove wearing a surgical cap and mask. The latter was looking intently at the instrument table beside him.
"Professor, gene stabilization fluid has extremely low rejection and is an excellent material."
"Would you like to try using type 2 genetic fluid, professor? Or should you use the most conservative type 1 genetic fluid? After all, this is a loyal imperial soldier."
Kilgrove said: "Go and get Genetic Fluid No. 6, maybe it will work this time."
"No. 6? Professor, that is not the genome extracted from the Valkyrie... It is only a theoretical possibility..."
"Several of his key values are very close to the original Wusha," Kigrove's voice showed a bit of impatience. "If it weren't for the fact that there was only a lump of cell tissue left in the ancient god, I would have transformed it just like I did with Wusha.
Hanton! Move quickly, don’t miss the opportunity!”
"Good professor."
whirling?
Is this the name of the Valkyrie? It’s really hard to pronounce.
Yang Ming wanted to give Kigrove the middle finger, but he was already anesthetized and his thoughts quickly stopped.
I don't know how long I have been asleep, it could be just a moment, or it could have been several hours.
The severe pain shattered the blank dream woven by the anesthetic.
The pain of being burned by the ground fire reappeared. Yang Ming seemed to be anesthetized and thrown into the incinerator, but the flames spurted out from under his skin.
"Let the robot arm hold him down!"
"Two doses of gene stabilizing fluid! Intensive injection!"
Suddenly there was a sound in my head like ten thousand bees flapping their wings at high speed.
Yang Ming saw several pictures flashing past him in pain.
[A dark cloud floats in the silent starry sky, far away from the stars, with no destination. It is the material that belongs to this universe, and is the universe's gift of possibility. It can think and feel existence, and it is a living body. 】
Ancient god life form?
In severe pain, Yang Ming forced himself to keep thinking.
Ancient Gods, the cosmic creatures in "The Abyss", refer to special life forms that can survive in a vacuum-like environment without the help of any external force.
In the game, they usually exist as legion world bosses, possessing astonishing destructive power. They usually have characteristics such as mental control, devouring, and unlimited proliferation. Every time they appear, a huge disaster will occur.
If the ancient god life form represents the ultimate path of individual life evolution; the classic villains in "Abyss", the next day plague Zerg, represent the ultimate evolution of collective life.
'The study of the lives of ancient gods is our shortcut to eternal life.'
This is a line from a certain plot in "The Abyss".
Yang Ming suddenly understood.
Valkyrie is the product of the Sherman Empire's study of the ancient god's life form. It is a monster created by combining the ancient god's cell mass with humans. The ancient god has been resurrected in Valkyrie's body!
There are other pictures constantly emerging, but they are broken and incomplete, mixed with the experiences of two living beings.
[The besieged ‘Dark Cloud’, the ancient god’s life form that gradually melted away under the bombardment of the Star Destroyer, ushered in its end.
A cute little girl with a ponytail holds her father's big hand and plays in the glass-colored waves, her little feet kicking against the waves.
'whirling.'
The father's big hand gently touched the girl's head.
'You will become the perfect being.'
‘Dad, what is perfection?’]
What?!
Yang Ming stared at the memory fragments, the pain and suffering in his body became lighter. He slowly raised his head along with the little girl, and what came into his eyes was Kigrove's face without the prosthetic eyes.
Brother Ji and Valkyrie are father and daughter!
This old man transformed his own daughter!
The incomplete picture disappeared like a spark, and Yang Ming's pain also quickly subsided, leaving only a sense of soreness all over his body.
Got through it?
At this moment, Yang Ming heard Kilgrove's laughter: "Very good. Hanton's transformation was very successful. The gene stability coefficient is 0.92. This is a great value. We have prepared enough for him."
Gene stabilizing medicine and nutrient solution..."
Kilgrove was talking endlessly, showing off and feeling satisfied.
But Yang Ming was not in the mood to continue listening at this moment.
In a daze, he seemed to be in a starry sky, with bright nebulae above his head and below his feet.
He faced the girl floating in front of him.
The girl is the Valkyrie. She is wrapped in sacred pure white light. Even if she is naked, she does not have any desire or obscenity.
Gu Guwu——
The cry of deep-sea whales came from the starry sky.
Words appeared in Yang Ming's heart, as if the Valkyrie was talking and calling.
How to interpret the message conveyed by Valkyrie at this moment?
It is complex, but also simple. It is a higher level of direct communication beyond language. If it were described in words that humans can understand, it would be...
Combine? Swallow? Return? Integrate into each other?
No, none of these are accurate.
The most accurate translation should be:
'I want to eat you.'
Yang Ming's whole body was shaking unconsciously.
The girl directly revealed her desire for Yang Ming!
In the bilge laboratory and the backup laboratory, on two similar experimental tables, a man and a woman, who were also bound, opened their eyes almost at the same time.
Densely packed compound eyes appeared in the Valkyrie's pupils, and these compound eyes were arranged into a dense crystal structure in an instant.
She opened her mouth and let out a silent scream, and red energy waves spread out from her forehead and swept the entire cabin instantly.
The soldiers wearing anti-nerve interference helmets held their heads and screamed in agony at the same time. More than a dozen figures without adequate protective measures slowly fell to the ground, their eyeballs were bloodshot, and blood flowed from their nostrils.
Explosions were heard from instruments everywhere.
The high-energy ray launchers that continued to lock onto the Valkyrie lost contact with the bridge!
at the same time.
In the backup laboratory.
Yang Ming shook his head violently, and the red light in his eyes disappeared instantly.
Before he had time to think about it, he looked at the panicked staff and shouted:
"Hurry up and untie me! The Valkyrie was hiding her strength and preparing to give you a big blow! She is going to swallow me now!"
The few experimenters who stayed here looked at a loss.
Kilgrove is not in the bilge laboratory at the moment.
"Believe me!"
Yang Ming faced several experimenters with a sincere face: "Only I can stop the Valkyrie. This is a secret mission given to me by the professor! For the glory of the empire! The Emperor Star shines on you and me!"
These experimenters obviously had a slight hesitation.
